W. A. Downing, chief of the park
nolice. who came to the rescue, found
:lie lion tearing away at the woman's
"lotliing. and having drawn his re
volver. immediately -emptied nil the
chambers into the beast. Repeatedly
Downing reloaded his gun and fired
with but little effect. Other rescuers
ecured Flobert rifles from the shoot
ing galleries and Remington's from
the concessionaries and soon a score
were pumping lead at the lion.

Still standing over the prostrate
woman, flashing his teeth and lashing
his tail, the lion stood with the
ground about him literally plowed up
.by the hundreds of shots that were
fired at him.
Soon with the noise of the firearms
and shouts of the woman's rescuers,
the liou turned and walked a few feet
away and, sinking down upon the
ground, he turned over on his back,
and with a few kicks and gasps he
died. His skin was completely rid

STATE MUST STAND ASIDE
FEDERAL JUDGE UPHOLD8
NORTH CAROLINA RAILWAY
INJUNCTION.
Ashevllle, N. C., Aug. 29.—Judge
Prltchard in the United States circuit
court, in a long-expected opinion, an
nounced yesterday in the rate case
of the Southern railway against the
corporation commission and the at
torney general of North Carolina, up
holding the jurisdiction of Ills court
in the issuance of the recent injunc
tions against officials during the rail
road rate controversy, and declares
lliat. the suit is not. one against ihe
state within the meaning of the
eleventh amendment to the federal
constitution.
That amendment, holds the judicial
power of the rutted States shall not
extend to any suit against a state by
citizens of another state.
Can't Take Away Rights.
The decision says lhat a state leg
islature cannot so frame an act. as to
deprive a citizen of a right vouch
safed him by the federal constitution.
It does not. possess the power "to de
prive this court of Its jurisdiction,
and the sooner those questions are
definitely determined the better it will
be for all parties concerned."
The decision holds that the corpora
tion commission is still charged with
making rates, the only limitation
up on their power being "that they
shall not make a maximum rate in
North Carolina in excess of 2 1-4
iflits per mile. The corporation com
mission and the attorney general are
specially charged with the duty of se
curing the enforcement of section 4
of the passenger rate act. which pro
vides heavy penalties and fines for
a failure of railroads and their offi
cial:- to comply with that act."
Law Silent on Passenger Fare.
The opinion shows that, the laws of
North Carolina especially provide
upon what terms an injunction shall
be granted to suspend rates, pending
litigation, or involving the confisca
tory nature of such rates that the
statutes of North Carolina expressly
authorize the course pursued by the
courts when freight rates are in
voled, but do not even require a bond
for such injunction when passenger
fares are in litigation.
MAILS BOMB TO CORTELYOU.
Package Addressed to Secretary Ex
plodes in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia. Pa., Aug. 29.—The ex
plosion of what appeared to have
been a large percusion cap in a pack
age addressed to Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou created excite
ment in the Nicetown substation of
the Philadelphia postoffice yesterday.
The package, which was collected
from a box in the northern section of
the city, was received by Clerk Rob
erts. who says it was about four
inches long by two inches wide and
three-quarters of an inch thick. When
Roberts brought his street cancella
tion die down upon the stamp the
package exploded and was torn to
pieces. Roberts was unhurt. The
pieces of paper were put together and
tlie package was found to have been
addressed to Secretary Cortelyou,
Washington, D. C., the address hav
ing been cut from a newspaper and
pasted on tlie package.
Chief Postal Inspector James B.
Cortelyou, a brother of the secretary,
is trying to solve the mystery sur
rounding the explosion, though most
of the authorities think the package
was mailed as a joke. There was not
sufficient explosive matter in it to In
jure any one. What was in the pack
age aside from the explosive cap the
officials will not say.

DOE8 YOUR BACK ACHEr
Profit by the Experience of One Who
Haa Found Relief.
James R. Keeler, retired farmer,
of Fenner St., Cazenovia, N. Y., says:
"About fifteen years ago I suffered
with my back and

and used many leine
fe^jdles without getting
relief. Beginning with
Doan's Kidney Pills,
I found relief from
the first box, and two
boxes restored me to
good, sound condi­

have used Doan's Kidiiey Pills with
good results and I can earnestly rec
ommend them."

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
—Boy Tortured by Poison Oak—
Both Cured by Cuticura.
"Last year, after having my little
Sill treated by a very prominent phy
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physician's prescrip
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti
enra Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and In twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and In
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs.' Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

FEET OUT.
8he Had Curious Habits.
When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con
ditions that coffee will produce. It
sljows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Dak. She says:
"I have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coldest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
I have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that I must keep on the move.
"When it was brought to my atten
tion that coffee caused so many ner
vous diseases, I concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see If my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
"I only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me! When I quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost,
miraculous way. Now I have no more
of the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound, peace
ful rest.
"Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth Its weight in gold to me."

health classic, "The Road to Well
