MAYOR MITCHELL CLOSELY GUARDED
He Recommends That His Attempted Assassin be Sent to Asylum
 for Treatment.

NEW YORK, April 20.-Mayor Mitchell has recommended that Mich ael Mahoney, who attempted to as sassinate him, be sent to the asylum for treatment. The mayor declared that Mahoney was "a poor rum-soak- ed hobo, sodden and embittered through drink and no more liable for his actions than the man who would ply him with rum as long as he had a few cents"
 It is feared that the attempt of Mahoney may cause other weak minded men to make attacks on the mayor and he is constantly guarded by eight detectives when on the streets or appearing in public. The detectives are heavily armed and ready for instant action. Should an other attempt at assassination be made, it is doubtful if the perpetrator will be permitted to live long enough to offer an explanation, as the may or's guards are among the best gun men in the city.

 Saved the Spectators.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 20.-There is one policeman in this city who de- serves medal for bravery, as his quick action and fearlessness un- doubtedly saved several people from being killed by an African lion or trampled to death in the stampede to get out of the brute's way.
 While a circus parade was passing through the streets the bolt of the door of the lions cage broke and the door swung wide open. The lion has the reputation among circus men as being untamable and was kept in 8 cage by himself. Immediately after the door of the cage opened the lion sprang to the street and the big crowd which lined the sidewalks were terrified and began to seek safety in flight ,.,,
 A patrolman, who was standing near and witnessed the lion emerge from it's cage, realized that instant action was necessary and whacked the brute over the nose with his helmet. The lion, which appeared to be dazed with its liberty and fright ened by the onslaught of the patrol man. jumped back into fits cage. The patrolman then bolted the door of the cage with his handcuffs.
 When the terrined crowd rea.iz- cd that they had been protected through the unaided efforts of an un- armed man they cheered him and immediately started . movement to secure his promotion. A local orti- nance prohibits patrolmen from car fying ! :rresv'ollIysrs or or clubs. s''.' .s' ~ ' Si, 4'

DESTROYING CIVILIZATION.

Another million takes their pla-

another million ofthese sixteenth
century peasants. And when it is
all over those who are left willgo
back to their fields.
But Germany, France, Eng

Germany, where will they turn
when the million dead are shov.
eled under bloody soil? Th e
bricks and mortar OF industry
may be still standing; but where
will credit be found? And what
will the millions OF starving fac
tory hands be doing? Happy the
Russian peasant who will go
back to his sixteenth century and
his field, telling the time by the
suns shadow. Industry in Eu-
rope, with other things of older
date. will be in ruins. -
Armaments have broken the

all things come to the earth. Be-

cause OF the war lords, the man
OF science is paralyzed and civili-
zation stops. Humanity has been
fooled. Too late to discover it.
Remember this, too. Among
the young conscript soldiers Of
Europe who will die in thous-
ands and perhapse millions, are
the very flower OF civilization; we
shall destroy brains which might
have discovered for us in 10 or
20 years easements for the worst
of human pains and solutions
for the worst of social dangers.
We shall blot those souls out of
our common existence. We shall
destroy utterly those splendid
burning spirits reaching out to
enlighten our darkness. Our fa-
theirs destroyed those strange
and valuable creatures whom
they called witches. We are
destroying the brightest OF our
angels.
At least, then, let us not get
drunk. At least, then, let us not
sing beasttul songs. Honor may
call US to fight, self-preservation
may force us into the slaughter
house, but let us wear on our
sleeves the Grape of mourning for
a civilization that had the prom
