ficient to draw from the lions anguished
cries Of fright.
William Purchase, who is assisting
in the care of the lions, has devoted
many hours d day 10 cheering them.
In the first few days after their re-
turn 20 jersey City they ate very lit
tie. Lions are fed only once day,
between II o'clock and noon. The food
is either beef or horsemeat. If beef,
about eight pounds IS led to each lion;
If horsemeat, the quantity runs from
twelve 20 sixteen pounds.
Until yesterday Nine. Andree's lions
just pecked at the horsemeat. They
were nervous and without appetite. In
stead of the usual quantity Of water-a
quart a day--they drank less than q
pint each.
They are the quietest Of the animals
in the sanatorium. The sea lion gets
fresh every now and then, and ploughs
UP the atmosphere with some very low
comedy roars, and the pelicans are not
the quiet birds that one might expect
them 20 be. These noises disturb the
Andree lions greatly
Purchase and various other folk in
terested in the lions think that they
will get back into shape by the end Of
this week There Is no work for them
at present, it is said, although when
Nine. Andree went on az the Yorkville
Theatre she was playing the first of .

delay of six years Of the work OF the
commission, from 1907 to 1913. Com

ROSSMORE HOTEL
DOOMED BY DEAL
Old Hostlery, Once Famous as
Broadway Resort, May Be
RaZed Soon.

The old Rossmore Hotel, on Broad
way, just south of 42d ST., is the latest
hostlery in this city which has about
completed its term of usefulness. If
negotiations which are under way are
carried out, the structure will be taken
down and a six story loft building
erected on its site.
The property is owned by the Phipps
estate, and a deal is now pending for
the leasing of the land to a syndicate.
The proposed building, it Is estimated,
will cost S250,000. The property has a
frontage of 90 feet on Broadway and
lis feet on Seventh av.
Some years ago the hotel was CON
sidered one of the most fashionable in
the city. Il later was taken over by
Paddy Roach, who kept saloon for
years at the corner of Water and Mar
ket sts. After his lease expired, about
twelve years ago, it was taken over by
other interests, and its name changed
to the Saranac, and was frequented by
chorus girls and actresses. Il was not
unusual for stories to be announced
of daring robberies being committed
at the hotel until the police called a
halt.
On Christmas. 1910, the place was
opened as the Cafe de la Opera, by the
United States Restaurant and Realty
I Company. The Phipps estate is said
TO have spent 100000 in remodelling
| the place and making il attractive for
the new tenant. Three months saw the

Bill To Be introduced.
Every surgeon, physician and other
person interested in the public health
who has seen this Philippine patent
medicine act has approved Of It, and al
have expressed wonder why similar
legislation was not enacted for the
whole United States.
One prominent physician thought the
reason might be that the patent medi-
cine interests. which on more than one
occasion in legislative halls and at
meetings of public health bodies have
made known their power, could answer
the question.
Figures compiled by United States
government experts show that SoOO,-
600 900 annually is spent in the United
States for medicines, and that the
bulk of the money goes into the pockets
of the patent medicine manufacturers
In the meantime, the government ex'
perts declared the American people
were being poisoned by these drugs
but nothing. or next to nothing, has
been done to remedy the evil.
To bring about legislation that will
put an end TO the evil The Tribune viii
cause 70 be introduced in Congress and
will urge for passage a bill TO end the
patent medicine quackory
