CHANGES IN HOUSE CHAMBER. Preparations Begun to Accomodate > Increased Menibersliip. Washington, March 6.?Work was begun to-day alternation of the j chamber of house of representatives ^ to accommodate the increased mem bership of 435 that will assemble for the extra session. A crew of carpenters invaded the chamber and . carried out the rows of desks which ^ have served trie memDers tor years. Rows of benches will replace the j desks, giving an increased seating capacity and a. larger space about < the speaker's desk. Small movable desks would be placed in the chamber for the use of members in charge of the bills in floor. Installation of the benches will mark the end of a time honored custom of the house. There will be no * drawing for seats at the beginning of the extra session. Members will not be acorded fixed places in the chamber, but those attending will select their seats as they enter the chamber each day. Some leaders may be given fixed places. The big house office building will have to be enlarged to furnish office ( rooms tor tne increased memDersmy. An appropriation of $224,000 hasbeen { provided for the addition of a new j story to the structure, and work will start before the extra session begins. { Meantime the surplus members will be given quarters in a rented build- * ing near the Senate wing of the capitol. c THE FALL OF MONTGOMERY. T Interest in the Gallant Young Soldier I Never Lessens. . ' 1 The death of General Richard ; Montgomery has never been forgot- \ ten by the American people, says the c Rev. Thos. B. Gregory, writing in r the New York American. It was a 137 years ago that the young soldier ^ died so gallantly upon the bald pro- j omtory of Cape Diamond, but more a than four generations of time have not sufficed to dim his fame or to j weaken the hold that his memory c has upon the hearts of his country- 4 men. r At once upon the beginning of hos- \ tilities between the Colonies and 5 England, the attempt was made to $ conquer Canada. Schuyler, the American commander of the north- j ern department, being sick, the en- c terprise was confined to Montgomery, then in his sytn year. s Starting from Ticonderoga in Au- s gust with 200 men, Montgomery, the s following month, laid siege to the s fortress of St. John's which .com- s manded the approach to Montreal. ? After a siege of 50 days St. John's r surrendered and on the 12th of No- ^ vember, Montgomery entered Montreal in triumph. ' r Meanwhile Arnold was making his j famous march northward through ^ the forests of Maine and by way of a Kennebec and Chudiere rivers. Arn- ^ old reached Quebec November 14, ? the day after Montgomery's capture c \ of Montreal, and early in December, c Montgomery appeared with his small ? force, which raised the number of ' the Americans to some 1,200 men. j At 2 o'clock in the morning, in a 3 blinding snowstorm, Montgomery ? and Arnold began each a furious at- <= tack at opposite sides of the town, and each came near carrying the c point. Montgomery had almost forced s his way in when he fell dead, pierced jby three bullets, and this so chilled v the enthusiasm of his men that they ^ flagged until reinforcements drove ^ th$m back. . . c About the same time Arnold was , severely wounded and carried from c the field. Taking Arnold's place, j Morgan, at the head of the Virgini- c ans,, fought his way into the heart of r the town, and Quebec would certain- c ly have fallen had not the attack t from the opposite quarter been stop ped by the death of Montgomery. r STOLE AUTOMOBILE. r C Peter Rush Is Alleged to Be a Daring ? Thief. r Orangeburg, March 8.?Peter Rush e is missing from the city and incident- c ally the Buick four passenger auto- g mobile of Dr. I. L. Reeves is also no- ^ where to be found. The matter has j been reported to the police and the 2 county authorities, and search was instituted this morning for the miss- I ing Rush and the automobile, and cer- t tain information was received regard- ? ing his movements since he left the t city. e Several places were suggested to the t authorities this morning, where Rush t might be located. It was stated that 1 he had a sister in Bamberg, and that \ he had formerly worked in Eutaw- I: ville, and also that his wife was at t present in Cottageville. The Sheriff f got into communication with these different places, and from Eutawville came the information that Rush had 1 passed through that town, and that on his way through he had stripped a ma- c chine there of certain parts. The au- ? thorities in that section are also on e the lookout for him. c 4 DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN. The Latest Enterprise in the Moving H Picture World. Those who go to the "movies" to ] r be thrilled are likely to be complete[y satisfied with a film which the 11 Vitagraph company of America is ?o 0 ?et out this spring. The pictures are ^ entitled "Daniel in the Lion's Den," 11 md the scenario was written by the Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters. ^ When Daniel, who in this particu- ^ ar case is to be Charles Kent, throws s1 iefiance into the kingly face of Bel- u jhazzar, the son of Nabonidus, and e( tvalks away between the guards to r< ? . . .. ti :he den, he will be walking into tne " -eal thing in lions. There will be k :hree full grown ones waiting for 1:1 aim. Furthermore, there will be two h squally full grown tigers licking :heir chops and piercing the gloom r( vith cat eyes. T_I What is going to prevent these perfectly full grown animals from ^ eaping upon Daniel Charles Kent ^ ind tearing him into a large number )f pieces? Simply some very expert r( ;raining;of the kind that Paul Bour- ^ jeois, the young frenchman who k >wns the animals, is giving them e< laily, almost hourly, at the plant of 11 :he Vitagraph company at Sheepslead Bay. h The first dress rehearsal solely tc or the den performers was held 'esterday at the plant. M. Bourgeois, vearing a military uniform of bright j :olors, to which the beasts must get iccustomed entered the huge cage - vhich the Vitagraph people nave srected for him in the center of the f( )erforming room. The young train- fc, >r (only 24 years old he is,) whose a] i?nds, neck and back are covered ^ vith little and big white scars, had tl n one hand a rawhide whip, in the h >ther a "ladder," consisting of five tl ungs held together by crosspieces, ie md in his pockets a couple of reolvers loaded with blank cartridges, n: d. Bourgeois explained that he was e< ibout to introduce the star perform- w irs to each other for the first time. C] L little black door at the back of the h age opened and out rushed Lula, a o< 00 pound lioness. She stopped a ai noment to get her bearings and then w vith a snarl sprang for M. Bourgeois, tl 5he was met with the ladder, while he trainer leaped aside. "Now she will be all right," Mr. if Bourgeois said reassuringly. "You E an" let Sadie in now." tr Whereupon Sadie, a 450 pounder, s< prang into the cage. The two cats T niffed each other and began to snarl tt 0 that M. Bourgeois was moved to tr peak almost sharply to them. He ai ucceeded with a few quiet words in si jetting the two into opposite cor- d: lers and then announced that it was o: ime for Nero. hi The trainer took up his stand iear the little black door grasping A lis revolver. At a word from him s< he door was raised. First there was ai 1 tremendous roar, then the gloom li vas lightened with the glare of two oi r-r*r\r\y~% T7N nolltr triAra n'oc o ir X iULC4.llJ lUtl t " UO U. XX [uick' dash and out into the open r< :ame Nero, his tawny skin covered tl 500 pounds all a-quiver. ir He paid no attention at first to is mla and Sadie, but fixed his eyes on h< if. Bourgeois, who was saying: ol 'Well, well, Nero, how are you to- \\ lay? You're looking fine." tl Nero crouched at one end of the It age, his tail swishing from side to k ide, and then with a roar that rat- fl led the glass in the roof he lunged gi vay across the cage at M. Bouregois. ir ,Vhat he got was a flash from the re-olver full in the face, and his teeth c( runched upon a rung of the ladder, w He retreated snarling toward a ai orner where Lula wras watching. Lu- w a raised a huge paw and gave him a tl :uff that staggered him for a mo- ai nent. As his mouth opened in a roar w >f resentment the spectators noticed F hat one great tooth was nearly sev- ir jred from his jaw. Sadie took no fz )art -in the proceedings, for she was lursing a burning mouth into which Q in attendant had playfully peppered ^ iome strong disinfectant. h Filled now with surprise, chagrin, r: age, and nobody knows what other it ;motions, Nero began to rage furi- I )usly, like the heathen, and M. Bour- a ?eois had a lively five minutes during tl vhich he had to fire continually and' f< lump from one side of the .cage to ^ mother. D But at the end of it he assured ti Frederick A. Thompson, director of n he Vitagraph studios, who was in tl general charge of the proceedings, ^ hat the three lions will be suffici- P' ;ntly subdued in ten days for the inroduction into the cage of some of he actors in the Peters play.

LI funter Pursues It up Tree and Twists Sc Its Tail to Dislodge It. Montrose, Col., March 6.?The irgest mountain lion ever captured ca 1 this part of the country was caught ch n Wednesday by Url Hotchkiss, a th unter and trapper of Colona, six se liles east of that place. cu Hotchkiss started in quest of the tn on with his son George, Roy Hum- m hrey and a pack of dogs. The dogs tn ixuck the trail and drove the lion mi p a tree up which Hotchkiss climb- an i after it, unarmed except for a ne 3pe. The lion chased him down the fo *ee several times, but finally Hotch- bo iss got within about three feet of by le animal and threw a rope around ? is neck. ^ The men at the other end of the >pe attempted to pull the lion out of le tree but were unable to do so. iotchkiss worked around behind the on and forced him off the tree by di visting his tail. After getting the 6S on down the men threw another )pe around his leg. Hotchkiss then ar laced him on the saddle, fastening ce is feet and head to the horn,.climb- sij Pi I on behind and brought the animal ^ ito Colona. The lion stanas iuny tnree m igh measures nine feet from nose to > the tail and weighs 146 pounds. jjj A LITTLE BIT OF PARADISE. ahiti, in the South Seas, a Place D. that Fulfills One's Dreams. ^ Raratonga gives you a kind of .. iretaste of the whole charm* and H eauty of the South Seas. It is the ppetizer, the hors-d'oeuvre, not the 'hole meal. Tahiti is the whole su ling; the real thing; the thing one ro as dreamed about all one's life; p< nc ie thing which made Stevenson Qr save Europe forever. All tellers of (j liry tales, and all poets from Ho- M ler downward, have always imagin1)2 I the Existence of certain islands , th hich were so full of magic and re larm that they turned man from th is duty and from all tasks, labor or :cupation in which he was engaged, id held him a willing captive who ould not sell his captivity for all ie prizes of the busy world. X Stevenson in one of his books? J The Wrecker," I think?says that a man who is toiling in some * nelish town were to be suddenly X 'ansported to one of these South X sa Islands, in the neighborhood of X ahiti, and had a vision of the beauty J iat is there, and then were to be ansported back again to his prosaic ad ugly surroundings, he would I ly, 'At any rate I haye had my ream." That is how one feels when ae has seen Tahiti. One feels one su sti as had one's dream. f. ist The Bay of Papeete curves inward. atl s you sail into it you are sure to re ?e several white schooners at nchor.

I The people seemed extraordinarily 9 >ntented and invincibly indolent. 1 I as walking along the main street ad wanted to get to the postoffice, hich I knew was somewhere along I lat street. I stopped at a store and I sked whether I'was going the right B ay. The storekeeper?who was a renchman?said, "Yes, you are gotg right." I then asked if it was ir. The storekeeper saidMt was very ir indeed; it would take me a good uarter of an hour or 20 minutes to alk there. I asked him if I could ire a conveyance, as I was in a hur /. He shook his head and thought unlikely. I then went on my way. thought I would just time myself nd see how long it did take to reach le postoffice. I walked fast, but T )und to my amazement, that it took ie exactly three minutes to get there, 'oubtless it would have taken a nave of Tahiti 20 minutes. There is I o such thing as hurry and no such I ling as energy in these islands.?
