In America, and each ene te worth if 1,000.
He was with Ferenaugh'a circus for some
time, and is n iiolile looking brute.
His habits of life could net be called
feethetic. When he gets out of bed in
the rooming, though lie knot particu
larly thirsty, he clears hi threat with
sixty gallons of water, sometimes mere;
and at 0 o'clock he lms breakfast. The
menu k usually something llke thlst
l One bushel of carrots.
, Twenty-four heads of cabbage.
Fifty leaves of bread.
Twe hundred and fifty pounds of hay.
Fer desert he had peanuts, offered by
scores of smnll leyH, nnd nftcr dipping
his trunk in his big wooden finger Bowl
the great fellow eccnied eatistlcd. The
bill of fare will be varied. Unco a week
he will get 100 pounds of bran maili te
keep him In condition, nnd later en he
will hare a bushel of eats.
Crowds of peeple visit him every day,
and it k probable that he will bcforelong
be as popular In his way as the la

out of mind. By a curious coincidence
another elephant named Chief waa killed
at Philadelphia at about the tlrae act for
the judicial murder of the Cincinnati
beast. But the Philadelphia Chief was
choked te death by two elephontlne com
panions. Chief has committed almost as many
murders as the notorious 1'rade, who
was recently guillotined at Park,
France. Indeed, Chief has wen the
title of "man killer," and within the past
few mentlm has beconie be vicious that
'despite the fact that an elephant of hk
sice k worth $10,000, hk owners have
determined te prevent his maiming or
killing any uiore keepers by executing
i In the eame circus as Chief there k
an elephant called Mary. Bhe has been
Sltli the Robinsons for forty years and
nearly a hundred years old. Slie is very
docile and grateful for email favors,
such as an npple or a pipce of candy.
Formerly Mary used te mannge Chief.
When he would beceme mischievous she
would administer n whipping that cured
him of his tricks for months. New, even
Mary k afraid of him, and as for the
ether elephants they all let him alene.
Chiefs first murder was of Jehn King,
hk keeper, at Charlette, N. C, in 1871).
King was very fend of Chief and would
never whip him, therefore the murder
. showed net only bloedthirstlness, but in
v - gratitude, and had Chief been brought te
trial and convicted the judge would
doubtless have discoursed en this In hk
sentence Indeed the elephant's vicious
character was manifested two months
before the murder of King. A small
boy who wanted te see the circus, but
'objected te the admission fee, crawled
under the tent. lle didn't bee the cir
cus, but he saw the elephant te hk
heart's content Dy mlstake he get in
among the big brutes, and right under
Chief. Chief struck the urchin with
his trunk and was about te crush hkn
with his head Chiefs emotional insanity
always leads 1dm Inte thk means of
murder when Old Mary discovered the
situation. Bhe broke, her chains, rushed
ever te Chief, knocked him aside, picked
up the boy with her trunk and held him
away from Ids would be murderer.
TUB DEABT IN CI1A1SB.
One tlme, when the circus was en the
Ohie river, below Loukvllle, Robinson
determined that Chief, who had lately
been very ugly, deserved a whipping.
King was fend of the elephant and pro
tested, but the next day, when the circus
party came te an Island, they stepped te
i
de the flogging. They put a rope around
each of the brute's legs, and throwing
them ever the limbs of trees pulled
away till the elephant was off lut feet
and swinging in the air. hack down.
Thfin the cemnanv becan te belabor him
with hammers and stakes and pitch
forks, and kept It up for an hour. They
were ordered te thrash him till he bel
lowed, but the beast was garae and
never uttered a sound. King meanwhile
was se earnest in hk protestations
against the punishment of Ids favorite
that Robinson was obliged te send him
away. At last they lighted some hay
under Chief. Thk brought him round.
Be began te quiver, and when he felt the
fire he bellowed. Then he was taken
down and was a very geed elephant for
quite a while.
But King's kindness was all lest en the
hardened criminal Three months after

Dr. Ooergo El Reed has been selected te
fill that Important pest, and hk elec

of the college.
Dr. Reed was born In 1640 at Brown Brewn Brown

at the head of hk

lyn, which bes the largest Methodist
congregation In the United States, and
when he retired from that church was
accorded a publle reception by the cit
izens of Brooklyn, Irrespective of creed,

Dr. Reed was elected te the presidency
of Dickinsen collcge from the pulpit of
Trinity church. New Haven, Conn., ene

presence and of a genial disposition. In
the pulpit he has displayed fine oratorical
powers, and has been especially effective
in Influencing young men.
TheDUltMMurdt' Decline,
Theatrical managers have lately been
discussing the question of the most
proutable manner or advertising uieir
ehews. A few years age the billboard
was the only recognized method of com
munication between the manager and
hk patrons. Spaces upon every fence
nnd corner were eagerly bought up by
the enterprising advance agent; saloon
windows were utilized te held the litho
graphs, and a frce pass accompanied
each picture displayed. What wai the
result? After the agent hnd pene hk
rounds and papered the town the ticket
Bcalpcr also began his pilgrimage Ue
bought up the free passes at a small cost
and sold them nf terward at a geed profit
te himself and filled the heuse at a direct
less te the original management. The
bcbcme was a cemplete failure.
Later another plan was adopted nnd
with similar results. Season tickets, ad
mitting the holder te four performances
a month and net transferable were
Issued, and en each perfonnance the
deer keeper waa obliged te punch, out
ene of the dates, as In a railroad ticket.
The result was that the holders of these
passes held oft until they liad accumu
lated a dozen or se of aduiisnleas te their
credit, and then swooped down upon the
thcatre In their might and owned the
heuse. In Buffalo last season ene man
ager was forced te glve away 1,700 free
admissions In ene week, and only saved
himself from ruin by getting the differ
ences In the prices of these of hk pa
trons who wished te obtain better beats
than their passes admitted them te.
It k generally conceded among ad
vanced theatrical managers that the
newspapcr k at ence the chcaiest and
the best way of reaching the great
thcatre going public. Such k the cendi

tacks the drift k a wheel revolving rap
Idly and cuts the snow, tossing It from
100 te 200 feet te one side, and at an
angle of 20 degs. from ths track. It k
placed en the end of a cer which con
tains ths machinery te give its rotary
motion. The two wings projecting ever
the wheel from each upper corner of ths
car breaks the circular current forming
two separate ones at an angle of 40 degs.
All the snow coming in contact with tne
wheel below Its axle passes out by the
lower or side current, and that which
comes above the axle passes out by the
top currant When the plow k work
ing In a deep drift It will threw the
upper current out where the snow k
higher than the machine. The wheel
can be reversed, thereby taking advan
tage of ths wind, low sides of cuts, and
hlfl sides.
One such plow as thk en every read
would be a friend In need: and In the
case of storms widen only block a por
tion of a read would be sufficient The
western reads have always kept efficient
snow plows en hand, and they are sel
dom blocked for any length et tlrae; but
in the cost, where blizzards are net ex
pected, there has been no preparation
whatever. Even If a snow plow rusts
in a shed It k better than the rkk of
thousands of passengers being delayed
en trains without feed or bedding, as
was the case en the memerable 12th of
March, 1888.
The managers of southern reads may
well congratulate themselves that they
are net called upon te add the clearing
of their lines of snow te their ether ex
penses and annoyances.

of work was a traveler, nnd from the
way he looked when he came In the ether
morning and struck for the job, I should
judge he entered the city in ene et the
side deer palace cars, lie had a pocket
ful et soap, mid I told him If he would
apply a little of it te his face and hands.
In conjunction with seme water, he could
two the rest en the mirror. Tliat'a the
result of hk work. Leeks llke quite n
job, doesn't it? The fellow did it in about
mi hour, nnd thought himself amply
paid with three or lour drinks and S!3
cents."
Thoartef mirror decorating, llkoevcry
ether specialty of the kind, appears te
rcquire n peculiar knack for just that
kind of business. The drawing kdoue
with soap, and whlle the lines must lw
boldly marked, there are opportunities
for dcllcate shading nnd requirements of
correct pcrsixjctlve which cannot be neg
lected If the sketch k te be a success.
And whlle the decorating of a mirror In
u barroom with ti piece of white scat)
cannot be called very high art, it k still
an art in thosense that many a peer
tramp who k working only for n drink,
can turnout n better piece of work in
quicker tiine than n way up nrtist who
has had hk picture displayed in the
academy.
The mirror decorations commonly seen
are in only ene color the white al
though many of the "soap nrtlata" attain
te higher flights mid inuulge in colors.
What the mixtures they use are com
posed of they consider n trade secret, but
net a tow of, them can. with their white
soap and their little pets of tinted paste,
preduce really nrtistle results, imitating
flowers in their natural colors and ob
taining a perspective, with the aid of the
mirror Itself, tluit Is well nigh perfect,
The work k dene very quickly bv theso
who de It, at a very low price. The ma
terials used are inexpensive, nnd the
artist Is generally satisfied te make 50
cents or 61 an hour for work which
comes no easy for him.
There are two or three of these mirror
decorators in the city who make it u
point te spread the merits of theatrical
companies through tlie medium of their
Boap. The manager pays them for their
work, and the owners of the mirrors rc rc
cclve complimentary tickets in consid
eration et allowing a neatly lettered an
nouncement te appear tern few days
upon the glass. And in thk connection
n pertinent story has liccn heard. It k
nwcll known fact that the men who handle
the paint brushes, and especially the sign
writers, are decidedly reckless in tlie
matter of orthography.
Once, when "Hearts of Oak" was te be
given at the Academy, Cel. Dan Shelby,
then in charge, concluded te work tee
"mirror racket," nnd, hired a man te de
the job. When the 'colonel went nf ter
hk matutinal cocktail the next morning
he gazed at the barroom mirror and saw
"Hartz of Oke" inscribed thereon In
large letters. It was that way all ever
the west elde, tee. Tlie bartender bald
he should linve corrected the soap artist
In any reasenable error, but he se effec
tually disguised hk words that he sup
iwsed the play was a new ene seme-
uiing about "Air. liartz, et uke." Chi

Ateut 1850 the famous tenor Marie
was at St. Petersburg bluging hi a com cem
pauy which numbered, among ethers,
Lablache and his daughter, then only a
girl, but who ufterward tecame the cel
ebrated Mile, de Caters. One day, In
home opera and during the usual due of
passion, te her amazement and indigna
tion tlie heard Marie, whlle she
bang alone, whisper ee low that
the words reached only htr own
ears: "Mia caral Mia tellal Auia mol
le t'adorel" He offended was alie that
nftcr Raving the btage she refused te
listen te the tenor's explanations, and
refused te sing with him again. Some
days afterward, howevcr, from the
wings she heard Marie sing the satne
due, nnd this tlrae with u very ugly
woman, who had assumed thu aban
doned role. Again did the tenor fill in
his "rests" with the saiue iinjiasslened
w hlsjiers "Mia caral le t'adorel" Then
alie understood. The burning avowals
were only u means of keeping himself
en train of retaining the emotion neces
sary for the continuance- of his role.
