About the nrst thing taken up yesterday
frornlng by tbo Vvoman'n Christian Temper-
BIICO Union w w the report of the commlttoo
on rovlilon of the constitution and by-laws.
Sovornl Important amendments were
recommended by the commlttoo.
A lengthy discussion ato'ie over tbo reten
tion of county presidents us delegates to the
state convontlons. The county presidents
tvoro retained as delegates ,
The matter of sending delegates to the no
tional convention was a subject of discussion.
The rule has been that districts having
a paid up membership of 500 1mvo n right to
n delegate In the national convention. The
dlicusslon arose over ttio effort to secure rep
resentation for thoio districts wblcb have
not MX ) members In good standing.
Mrs. Woodward favored the Idea of per
mitting tbo district not having ! > oo delegates
to have n ropicicntatlon In the national con
vention by paying a sum equal to the name n-s
tbo dues of 5ut ) members. The substitute of
fered by Alis. Woodward was adoptod.
A I'ifttirc 1'reSOntUtiOII.
Tbo commlttoo appointed to audit the ac
counts of the Union Worker reported tbo
number of subscribers sent in by the various
Unions.
The premium for tbo largest number of
subscriptions fell to the Cowlos union.
The premium offered by the Union Worker
was a lumluomcly framed and artistically
executed portrait of Frances E. Wlllard.
Mrs. Mary Clement Lcavltt was re-
guested to present the portrait to
Mrs. L. E. Baker , president , of tbo
Cowles union. Mrs. Baker stopned forward
and Mrs. Loavltt made a very appropriate
poccb in presenting the portrait. The lady
first said u good word for tbo state Woman's
Christian Temperance union paper , and then
poke of fie appropriateness of the presenta
tion. She eulogized the llfo and work of tbo
noble loader of the Woman's Christian Tom-
porancu union , Miss Frances E. VVillard.
Mrs. L. E Baker responded in a very
touching uddross. Sbo said that she should
{ alto the picture back to Webster county
and nroMont it to the Woman's Christian
Temperance union there with the
assurance that It would oo an inspiration and
n blessing to them. Mrs. Baker sold that
many of the ladles who bad sent in the sub
scriptions ro-dded at Hod Cloud and the portrait
trait would probably bo presented to them nt
that place.
After Mrs. Bnkor had finished her ml-
flross the ladles sang , "Blessed bn tlo ; tie
that binds our hearts in Christian lovj. "
Mrs. BtaUellold of Hod Cloud arose and
Bald that she would certainly oppose the
Idea of accepting the portrait entirely for
the Ked Cloud union. She thought that the
union workers down In that part of the state
could adopt tbo itinerant plan and send the
pictuiu all around the county.
The president then introduced Mr. Jung
Choc , u Chinaman , who is beinic educated by
the Women's Christian Temperance union
tor missionary work in his own country.

The annual election of ofllcors was then
taken up. The roll was first called to ascer
tain the exact number of delegates present.

Mrs. Ada M. Blttenbonderof Lincoln , was
requested to take tbo chair and conduct the
election.
The total number of delegates present was
151 ! and throu visitors making the number 159.
Mrs. Louvitt being ono of the vUltors her
self , moved that the visitors who had been
granted tliu privileges of the convention , bo
not allowed a vote in the election. By
general consent of the delegates that was
agreed to.
Tolli'rs were appointed and the first ballot ,
according to a rule of the organization , was
on Informal ono.
Just as the ballot had closed the clock on
the High school proclaimed the hour of 1'J.
Mrs. Licuvltt was asked to lead In the noon
tide prayer. After the supplication the loll
era rot lied to count the ballots.

Bessie Wade , a good looking young
mulatto girl , living at SOS North Thirteenth
street , sought to cross to the evergreen shore
Dy the rough on rats route about noon yester
day but a double gcaicd stomach pump beaded
her off before she bad gene very far.
Bessie Is sweet on Julius Alexander , a
pot tor In the Continental block , nnd tno fool
ing Is reciprocal.

Fourteenth street saloon , although a married
man , lias circulated stories derogatory to the
character of Bessie , whereat she bocatno
despondent , and finally decided to bo re
venged on everybody by joining the silent
majority. With that Idea in view she de
voured a largo dose of rough on rats , but
the gnawing at her vitals was moro than
she had figured on , and she gave tbo whole
thing nway. A stomach pump was brought
and Bcsslo concluded she would stay In this
vale of tears a whllo longer.
James Turner c.illod nt THE BHE ofllco 1 nst

given In his card , bora :

that 1 have always treated the ladvnlththo

the stoio. The panther sat on top of his
capo licking his paws. With a quick move
ment Burns throw the lasso. It missed and
the panther made a leap for the trainer , who
stopped out and closod'thb door. Peering
thiough a window Burus saw tbo panther
making around the place , scaring the other
animals terribly. Ho squeezed his paw be
tween the iron bars of cages and shook them.
A little nonkoy soiyed the paw. Ho lived
about two minutes , but the scratch on the
paw ouragrd the animal. Ho began n war
dance in the center of the room and the
other animals howled. Finally ho went back
to the top of his cage and Burnu decided to
make another olTort to lasso him. "Now ,
when 1 yell you open the door. " ho said to
Mlllor , "then crab the end of the rope nnd
pull with mo when I toll you to. "
The door opened softly aeain and Mr.
Burns throw the lasso. When the animal
saw the rope coming ho throw up his loft
paw and the noose dropped over bis bead and
paw.
"John ! John ! open the door , " yelled
Burns. "I've got him ; come and help mo , "
But John's courage tailed him and dcspito
Burns' yells for help no ono wont to nis as
sistance. A crowd gathered around the
door , but no ono entered. Miller rushed
about on the outside like a cra/y man.
"When 1 found that Miller would not
como in , " said Mr. Burns yesterday , "I
braced myself for the struggle that I know
was coming. The animal was a year old and
hud just been brought from India. I figured
on his pulling from mo , like nil panthers , but
the lasso caught under the shonldcr and ho
did not feel it so much around the neck. I
pulled hard and strong and so did the
panther for a moment or two , but in the
twinkling of nn eye ho scorned to shrink his
body up and slipped out of the noose , i
picked u pun iron lloorscrapor and jumped
aside as soon as ho leaped for mo , I tried to
hit tno beast with the scraper but missed
him. Then wo fenced aiound the room , the
panther leaping for mo and I endeavoring to
hit him. I soi/ed a box of pepper and tried
to throw some in his eyes , but I could not
connect. I had n dog up stairs and kent
calling him , but ho was tightly chained.
Fully fifteen minutes passed in this way.
The cages , barrels and otlinr obstructions in
the room served to protect mo. When the
panther Jumped I would dndgo behind ono
of tho.-o and ho would go over mv head.
, "Finally 1 got n paper Illo from the desk. It
was only a little piecaof Iron work about six
inches long , but I felt a bit stronger when 1
got that In my Hands.
"Then I lost my footing in trying to prod
the brute and bo was on mo in a second. Ho
caught mo In the arm above the elbow. I
jabuod ttio spindle into his side and he lot go
nnd leaped to the other end of the room ,
The blood spurted out of tbo hole I had made
In his sido. Wo came together again and
before wo separated I was bitten in several
places. Luckily for mo the panther was not
an old ono and the tooth were not long. They
were long enough to tear the Ilesh terribly ,
ttiough.
"I was getting weald frprn loss of blood
when a policeman from , the Oak streat
siution opoucd the door and closed 1U I had
the panther by the throat , nut ho was work
ing out of my grusp. I ejlod again for help
and two longshoremen cnino to my rescue.
They beat the pantbqr oit nnd with poles
handed In from the outsida wo drove the
boast Into his cugo again' . , "
Mr. Burns was bjdly Jneetatod about the
body , aud his face , too , showed the marks of
tho'dosporato struggle. Mlllor Is out of a
job.

Emperor William Would Not Benin
Hostilities UnlcsH Forced To.
Losno.v , Sopt. 21. The Standard's VIonnn
correspondent records a discussion which
was carried on at the table of Archduke Al-
brccht during the Austrian military manoou-
vi cs , as to whether itwaswlso to allow n
known enemy to complete preparations for
war or whether it was not preferable to force
a conflict. "No names were mentioned , "
says the correspondent , "but all understood
that Husstn was meant. Emperor \Vllliam
said emphatically
"J stiongly believe that the enormous re
sponsibility which modern warfare Imposes
must override all military theories. 1 would
not begin war if conscious tlmt , by delaying
It , I could secttro a slnglo year , nay slnglo
n.onth , of peace by trusting In tbo success ol
my peed cause. "Even.it the changes ara
equal on botli sides , there is much to bo
pained bv having several months of peace.
"Tho king of s > a\ony expressed himself to
the same ellect , pointing out instances where
dmlomacv nnd averted an apparently Inevit
able conflict.
' Archduke Albreoht also dilated upon tbo
enormous responsibility of forcing u war , In
vlow of the murderous perfection of modern
weapons , "
The correspondent says Emperor William's
remarks made a deep impression on the high
rank Gorman and Ituhslan officers present.
