Wilson was rehearsing four lions when Prince became enraged. As the trainer advanced to the corner of the cage where it crouched, the beast sprang, Wilson fell backward, and the lion clawed his face and tore his arm. The lion was growling over the prostrate trainer, when attendants, standing outside of the bars, prodded the animal with long-handled forks. Prince turned on them, giving Wilson opportunity to crawl to a door on the opposite side of the cage. He was taken to the Jersey City Hospital. Prince has a reputation as a bad lion. Six other trainers have met with more or less serious injuries at his teeth and claws. Scottish Officers Make Ammunition. One hundred members of the Glasgow Officers’ Training Corps have begun a self-imposed task of making shells, in response to the appeal from Earl Kitchener for unlimited amounts of ammunition. These volunteers belong to the best families of Glasgow, and most of them will go to the shell factory in their own automobiles. They have undertaken to work six-hour shifts after a preliminary course of training. Hamilton’s Oath Sold. The original oath taken by Alexander Hamilton on his admission to practice as attorney and counselor in the supreme court and as solicitor and counselor in the court of chancery in New York, a one-page folio, dated Albany, July 12, 1783, brought the top price at the opening session of the sale at the Anderson Galleries of Part V. of the library of the late Adrian H. Joline, of New York. George D. Smith paid $125 for the document. The same buyer gave $100 for the original manuscript petition of Colonel John Brown to “Horatio Gates, in the Army of the United States of America, commanding at Albany,” requiring General Arnold’s arrest on thirteen charges. Mr. Smith also gave sixty dollars for a four-page letter written by Washington Irving. Auto Puts Engine Out by a Blow. A great, overgrown Erie express train near the Garfield, N. J., railroad crossing struck a poor, little, aluminum-bodied automobile with all its might--and the Erie locomotive was put out of business and had to be hauled back to the repair shops. That was all there was to this New Jersey incident, except for the fact that two men who were seated in the automobile don’t know just how they escaped injury. Antonio Parapeto, of Monroe Street, Garfield, N. J., and John Russo, 430 Midland Avenue, also of Garfield, climbed into the touring car “to take a little spin.” While approaching the Erie Railroad crossing at Garfield, the autoists failed to see No. 9 Erie Express, bound for Chicago, until they were only thirty feet from the tracks. Both men jumped. The automobile went ahead and was smashed to splinters. The locomotive came to a halt very soon. The metal work of the automobile had cut a steam pipe near the locomotive’s pilot and rendered it helpless. Traffic on the line was tied up for an hour. Parisians Lionize Pau.
