At the lite election Mr. Bennett -u4 re-elected for a third term as a Democrat. Gov. Brown will be called uipon to order a. opecial election for Carroll county and upon. the result of that election depends the political omplexion of the next Senate of Maryland. I With Mr. 1ennett-s vote that body stood 14 Democrats and 12 Itepublicans. hould the Republicaus elect a successor to Mr. Bennett the Senate would be a tic with Senator Brice, of L-itirore, .eting in harmony with the l,epubllcans upon all reform measures and uniting with theni in eontlrming the Republi cans Governor's nominations. Should the Democrats win the situation will remain the sme as prior to Mr. Bennett's death. The regular Dejnocrats expected, because of their control nf the Senate, to prevent many changes p'rposed in the registration, elction. and othier laws~ of the State as well as ti offset many og the Republican Govern ors nominations.

According to Herr Hugenbeck, the famous showman, the tamers of wild beasts use no secret methods, and in taming a lion they proceed very much as a boy would with a dog. If a lion is to !e taught to. ride on horseback, it is uecessary to be very patient at first and take a great deal of time. If possibie, it is best to be gin when he is young-less than a year old. If he was born in captivity, he is already accustomed to see persons out side his cage, but not inside. All his instinets are still fierce. 'When the tamer first opens the cage door, and steps inside, the youngster at:on(e displays fear. He will proba bly jinii at the trainer, snarling sav agely ; for thit'is his way. of showing alarm. The only course that can' be . tir,ued is to beat him off with a light _cb.. 'The first, lesson he learns is ta it 1s not safe for him to attack man. Sometimes in his excite.nt i a k:fear he will-make several attacks, n,e after the other. The - trainer nmerely beats him of, and in the end "the lion retires, snarling to the far oiner of The cage. The trainer does not follow him, but sits down quietly on a box or a chair, paying no particular attention to him. He sits there for an hour or two hours at a stretch. This is done to accustom the lion to the presence of a man in his cage, and to wear out his natural fear and fierceness. This first lesson 1s repesated on the following day, and is continued for a week, or perhaps for a mouth. Next the trainer takes a piece of meat into the cage, and. waiting un til the lion is hungry, offers it on the n.i of a long stick. 'Very likely the lion will not touch it at first, perhaps no for nmany dlays; or, it he se-3ze~s it, his manner will not be sucu as to indcate thankfulness. B:n *y pa. tiecoe and persistence he will Oc in d :ed by-aud-by to come and take the fo.d from the stick, and eventu.dly froo thbe trainer's hand. ot infreqnentiy he will try to bite the hand that offers the meat; and generally speaking. it is deemed a sig nal victory when a young lion will volunarily approach and take his food from the keeper's -hand. Soon after this he will allow the trainer to stroke his head. Toward a stranger he may exhibit quite as much ferocity as at first. The next step is to put a chain round thc lion's neck and lead him about the cage; and most trainers consider it necessary to b.ind. a lion down to the bottom of the cage once or twice, in order to instill into his naturally intractable mind the fact that human bonds are irresistible, and that chanius cannot be broken. The various feats which go to mak up .L modern performing lion's educa tic' are afterward taken up one by one and taught gradually. The only "secrets" that Herr Hagenbeck knows' ar endless patience and oft-repeated lessons. Needless cruelty is always avoided ; ueverthieless. it is necessary tht lions~, as well as tigers, leopards and most other vild beasts,. should liold their keepeis in fear. ..
