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.

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

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. He
lopes that by that time the beasts .

MAN HOPES MOUTAIN LION. 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

Stevenson in one of his books? J
