Clayton, the larg- est of the live, had been showing signs! oi viciousness. About two weeks ago he ' attacked his trainer, and she escaped! then only after Clayton had torn several ! Ugly gashes in her right arm. Mrs. Rus- sche ha<i thrown a bucket of water on the leopard to prevent him from killing a panthe, he had attacked. Mrs. Russelle, who is about thirtv-five years old and a widow, has been iiving with Iter friend. .Mrs. Crace Madill, also .<n animal trainer, at z.hn Kast 12th "iA few days ago she and Mrs. »nade a heavy jacket covered with «old braid, which Mrs. Russelle thought might protect the upper part of her hodv "i case one of the leopards attacked her.

Neither of these had ever shown signs of viciousness, and Mrs. Russele could turn her back on them with impunity. Testerday, when she held up the hoop ''layton growled and sulked in a corner of the cage, glaring angrily at the i trainer. Several times Mrs. Russelle cracked her whip, but the beast did not ! move. Anticipating trouble, Mrs. Ru«- j s-lle backed away, kicked open a small trapdoor leading to another compartment of the cage and ordered Rov and Arnold to enter there. This they did. and Clay¬ ton started to follow, still growling ahrr'ly and showing his teeth. "I guess you had better get the fork and hold it ready." said Mrs. Russelle to Hendrickson. who stood just eUts-;de the (.gA, looking on. This fork is a long bar of iron, at the end of wh'cb are several sharp prongs. It is used hv trainers to subdue unrulv beasts Hendrickson did as he wf>s told, and stood reedy for an emergency.

He tugged with all Ms might to drag the beast awa^y. and .houted for assistance. Hut the^ sound .f his voice was lost in the roars of the leopards and other animals in the loft. Just iti front of the leopard's cage was « ayena. and in another nearby a pan- i ::er. both of which, excited almost to madness !>v the scene in the leopard's . age were hurling themselves against th-> bars, trying to get out. But the revolver shots had l»een heard by ti.f museum employes downstairs, and several of them, accompanied by' Po- K-enian William Dwyer, soon arrived in th« loft. buyer stuck his revolver through the bars and was about to shout w hen Clayton, with an angry growl, .roke wwav from Hendrickson and sprang to the middle Of the cage. They uuicklv dtagged Mrs. Russelle to the cage door, opened it. and she dropped unconscious to the loft tfoor. while Clayton hurled himself against the front of the cag.-j struggling to get at those outside. All this time Roy and Arnold had been' flashing about in the other apartment of the cage, hurling themselves against the bars, trying to break out. In tiieir frenzy they seemed to forget the wooden trap through which they could have reached the compartment in which Clayton and his 11 airier were struggling. Just after the rescue Policeman, Dwyer ventured too near and Arnold made a vicious grab at him The leopard's claws ripped Dwyer's sleeve from shoulder to wrist, but did not break the flesh. M L Tliell. manager of the museum, was among those who ran to the loft at the sound of Hendrickson's revolver. He and others carried the injured woman downstairs and Hellcvue was notltied.

Richards Prepared Sermon for Yesterday Prior to His Death. NEW YORK, January 10..A striking incident occurred yesterday morning at the Brick Presbyterian Church, 5th avenue and .*i7th street. The late Ur. William R. Richards, the pastor, who died suddenly last Friday morning, had left his sermon for yesterday in com¬ plete furm, even to the words of the tlnal blessing. So the sermon was read, although the funeral of its author was announced immediately following the reading. There was a very large congregation present, and the service list bore heavy lines of black. The funeral will take place from the church this morning at 10:30 o'clock. Sevtral ministers will be present, but the principal part will be taken by the Rev. Dr. Henry van Dyke of Princeton, a former pastor, who told the congregation yesterciay that he had conic back to them, to remain tor a time at least. "Dr. Richards is not dead." began the Rev. Dr. laii Dyke, who took the serv¬ ices yesterday morning and read the sermon prepared by the late pastor, "lie is in tiie next loom and the door is open." Then he announced possession of tiie sermon found on the study table, and as he announced the text he re¬ marked that preparation in ample time was a chief characteristic of the late pastor. ..Even the details are noted,'* he said as he glanced at the set nion manuscript, l he service leailet slated that the late pastor had played tennis last Thursday aiternoon, and during the evening of Thursday was noticeably cheerful, and happy and free from ailment.

FISHERMEN HAVE HOPES OF THE SPRING SEASON Seine Work to Be Started as Soon as Freezing Weather Is Over. Although the fishermen operating: nets in the Potomac for the past year have met with hat poor success, they live in the hope of better times coming, and arc not disposed to cease their efforts to find the bass, perch, rock and other fish that make their home in Potomac waters. As soon as all danger of freezing weather is over the hauling of seines will be started at several of the fishing shores, and at one of them preparations have already been made for the spring fish¬ ing. Capt. Ai Faunc-e and Capt. George Neitzy, who operate the Windmill Point shore, on the upper side of Potomac creek, are at the shore overhauling nets and boats, and doing other work that will put the fishing camp In shape to begin operations at the earliest possible mo¬ ment. Will Open in February. The big haul seine at Windmill point may he put overboard early in February or it may l>e as late as the middle of March. It all depends opon the coldness of the winter and the amount of Ice it makes. The spring fishing season, when shad and herring make their appearance in the Potomac, should open about the middle of April, and the shores that in tin- com¬ ing two months are in operation will in- ready for the first appcarancc of *li«¦ spring fish in i'otoniac waters FORESTER POTTER S POLICY.

In these performances Roy and Arnoldwould wait patiently on their perch.Neither of these had ever shown signsof viciousness, and Mrs. Russele couldturn her back on them with impunity.Testerday, when she held up the hoop''layton growled and sulked in a cornerof the cage, glaring angrily at the itrainer. Several times Mrs. Russellecracked her whip, but the beast did not !move. Anticipating trouble, Mrs. Ru«- js-lle backed away, kicked open a smalltrapdoor leading to another compartmentof the cage and ordered Rov and Arnoldto enter there. This they did. and Clay¬ton started to follow, still growlingahrr'ly and showing his teeth.
