THE ELEPHANT RAN AMUCK. Bome Good 8tories of Men and Other Animals, THOUGHT SHE SAW THE DEVIL Biranze Experience of a Minneapolis Young Lady at a Hollow Party—Fleecoingan Ottos man in Gay Parce. The Carious Side of Lifs, The good people of Hoboken who happened to be on the street oestery morning between 4 and 6 o’clock were trented to an exhibition by the well- known wlephant, Prince, who had broken from his keepers when about to be loaded in n treight car for shipment to Peru, Ind., by Herman Reiche, the animal fancier of Park Row, says a New York special to the St. Louis Post-Dis- puteh. - He rushed wildly through the streots, trumpeting loudly and scatter- ing milk wagons and other vebicles, wkile his pursuers followed after in-the mud. Prince had an unconquerable vrejudice against locomotives, and the presence of a large number in Hoboken yesterday, each endowed with a loud, shrill whist mpde the giunt quad- ruped frantic Edward Thurler and Robert Puck, two keepers, arrived with long hooks, which they fastened into the eiephant’s cars and trank. Thoy then led him without difficulty for ten blocks, when a moving train alurmed him and he ran up the etreet with a wild bellow, while the keepers were left sprawling n the mud. George Brown, Mr. Reiche’s colored conch- man, attempied at that point to head off the elephant, but had to flee for his life when the mammoth beast at- tempted to crush him against a wall, Finally Prince was captured and was being led toward ithe ferry, when an Erie train thundering over the viaduct cuused him to make another break for freedom. Mr. Reiche at this point ap- peared on the scene, faultlessly attived 1n a silk bat, styiish clothes, kid gloves and patent-leather shoes. He headed Prince off, hoping to duzzle him with such splendor. But Prince was neither to bo dazzled or coaxed. He made straight at Reiche, who flew through five inches of mud and took refuge on a pourch of a small wooden dwelling near ‘by. Prince tried to crush Mr. Reiche against the wall, and failing in that he wound his trunk around one of the pil- lars, trying, like Samson, to bring the whole edifice to the ground. = Mr. Reiche called out to a crowd of labor- ers neur by, offering $ for a cotton hook, getting which he soon had the elephant under control, but not until he had roared with pain and covered Mr, Reiche with blood. The elephant made a third escape, although Mr. Reiche ssisted by both keepers. Alto- wo hours were consumed in get- ting him to the car into which he is to travel westward. Mr. Reiche’s good clothes were all ruined. hta party was given in South Minneapolis, to which a goodly number of people had been Ill\'ilctf. Among the guests was a young lady of 18, Miss Lottie Larson. After various games had been played some one sug- gested that the future should be pene- trated by means of a looking gluss, the supposition being t if a person walk down-stairs backward and peer into a lookiug glass he or she will see the face of his or her future matrimonial mate. It finally became Miss Larson's turn. She had shown decided diffidence, and it was onlkunde: pressure that she con- sented. ounting the stairway and Paoh-poohing the efficacy of a vulgar looking-glass to reveal the depths of the mysterious futhre, shostarted down the stairs backward, pecring into the glass in an indifferent way. Nothing un- usual occurred until she had nearly reached the bottom of the stairway, when with a piercing shriek she let fall the mirror and fell to the bottom of the stairs senseless, The unfortunate girl was carried into a room and laid on a lounge. Rebtoratives were applied to her but for a long time with- out avail. It was uot until a full half hour had elapsed that the young girl re- turned to consciousness. Questions as to the cause were freely plied, and in a half-dazed and frightened manner she told them that she had seen a face in the mirror that closely resembled his satanic majesty. She minutely de- seribed the face and insisted that he had horns. The varty broke up and the young girl remained in the house all night, She was {)ul to bed and anxious friends watched by her bedside. The next morning a physician was called and he pronounced ber in a high state of fever. She is now tossing on a bed of sickness, delirious at times, and con- stantly raving of the picture her imag- ination had depicted in the looking- glass. Her physician savs her prospects or living or dying are about equal, Berlin has just had & most. extraordi- nary sensational trial—curious, indeed. almost without parallel among the re- cords of erime. “The hangman has been accused of assasivation and tried for his life. Of course it was a question of jenlousy. The Berlin executioner does not lead a very moral hife, Ho isa murried man with a family, and he de- serted both and the poor wife soon hud arival, Butshealsodeserted the vival in her turn. The dry statistics of the law courts read like the argument of some ingenious play, The abun- doned mistress longed to recover her supremacy. One ,would not have thought a hangman capable of so much attraction, She tried every means to Enu her object, and at last'in despair ad recourse to the executioner’s assis- tant ana right hand man, whom she knew, and whose influence over him was great, Thoere were interviews be- tween the two hangmen, but matters did notadvance. Thon there was an angry interview at a restaurant, in the course of which the chief kicked his aid-de-camp in the stomach. The in- jury was more serious than it seemed, and a month afterward the poor go-be- tween died. All sorts of evidence was given at the trial, and the jury were merciful in their verdict. ut the criminal classes of Berlin were great- ly dissppointad. It would have leen interestin, they seemed to have thought, if the new hangman had to try his "prentice hand on his predecessor. An amorous Ottoman had a most re- markable adventure near the exhibi- tion receutly and the affair is worth uhfln&.l( only for the purpose of put- ting other unsophisticated foreignors on their guard against certain snares and traps laid for them at nearly every step in this dozzling capital, says the Loudon raph. Arrayed in magnificent oriental shabiliments, consisting of a jacket and pan! ely embroidered with fil lace, an: wamnf on his head the fez of the followors of the prophet, the bland and bene- volent Turk was placidly strolling ‘slong one of these dveary boulevards in le district, when he mot a olad and ladylike person,who told him that she had been walking about the exnibition all day and was suffering terribly from thirst. The gentlemanly and generous Turk immediately offered to take her to an cent tavern, which the pair duly conducted by n 1 About hall an hour wrds the waiter wns summoned to the room by bellhnd there found the Turk despoiled of his gorgeous g the damsel had and-floor window Lin fact, nothi of clothes ex through a Ottoman in the sh . his underwear mporari vl his homely app e red fez, the victimized Moslem od to the nearest police station in ordor to lay acts of his very strange case.

An ex-school tencher tells a story which is ‘*the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” The Atlanta Constitution endeavors to give the details of how the mule votedas near b his own language as p *It was customary ik he, “for the tenchers in the district to be excused from road duty 1 vote of the hands yresent.

Then he proclaimed: “CAllthat ave in favor of excusing the teacher step to the right of the voad, und all opposed to the left.” “*Well, to thechagrin of the boys that wanted me to work. the mule took to the rights The vote then stood one in t McDonald of Trenton, w0 isat the Lafayette hotel ou the monkeys at the Zoo, says the Phila- delphia Record. This particular monkey was held very cheap three da, ago, but Superintendent Byrne wants $100 for him now. and threatens to put up the price even higher if Mrs, Mc- Donald’s husband does not make up his mind very soon about buying him. The monkey ordinarily is worth about $10, and the veason for such an enormous increase in his value i ct that he has one of Mrs. McDonald’s two-carat solitaire diamond earrings in his stymach. Mrs. McDonald arrived in this city Saturday with her husband 1d they visited the Zoo Monday. The bride wore o handsome puir of dimmond enr- rings, each weighing within a trifle of two carats. Mrs: McDonald es- pecially amused by the monkeys. and she lingered about the monkey house for a long time. She was highly entertained at the attempts of a long-armed ape to grab overything that came within reach, but i her eagerness to sce all that was going on she stepped too close to the cuge, and like a flash the big monkey’s arm was thrust through the wires and his ugly paw grabbed one of her ear- rings. Inanother instant the jabber- ing brute was off to the other side of the cage with the glittering ornament in*® his possession. Mrs, McDonald screamed, and in an ecstasy of alarm cried out: “Catch him! - Pull him out ! The nasty thing has got my diamond ! In an instant the peovle on the outside of the monkey cage were making as much of a clitter as the screeching, chattering monkeys within. Half a dozen umbrellas were jabbing at the grinn h retreated to a lofty perch and deliberately swallowed the ear 1d, and all, N Me despair, 0 up my dinmond,” and then, with her husband in puvsuit, she rushed from the place to get Super: intendent Byrne. That gentlemun lis- tened to the lady’s excited story with composure, “*What am I to do, madame?” said he i nally, “Why, kill the brute and got my dia- mond; it's worth $250,” promptly re- sponded Mrs, McDonald. “That's impossible,” responded the superintendent. “Tho monkey be- longs to the society and it is valuable. Then Mrs. MeDonald offered to buy the monlk: But Mr. Byrne said that never do, the Society for the ation of Cruelty to Dumb Ani- mals would interfere. Finally it was suggested that if some phy would agi to chloroform the monkey and kill him without pain, he might cut him open and get the jowel. Mrs. McDonald rushed down town and succeeded in getting Dr, Thomas H. Andrews to consent to do the killing and cutting up, Then she rushed hnc‘; to the Zoo and made a bargain to buy the monkoy for #100. But here there was a hitch, Mr, McDonald demurred to paying such a price for a monkey, especially as it wus 50 soon to be a dead wonk Mrs. McDonald dissolved in tears, and upbraided her spouse, telling him that he didn't want to get the dia- , mond back because the pair had been a kl'uwnt from her former husband. But . MeDonald was obdurate, Hisbride, however, hopes to coax the money out of him to-day, In the meantime Super- intendent Byrne says that he thinks of raising the price on thatmoukey, and Mr. McDonald’s friends say that he had better pay the money than buy another pair of ear-rings, Dr. Andrews has gotten his case of in= struments ull ready, and says that he will kill the monkey so neatly that the brute will never know when he died, One day, soon after noon, an Italian arrived in the village with u dancing bear and a hand organ, savs a letter to the Atlanta Constitution,and two hours later a similar outtit showed up from an opposite dirvection. While both were Itulinns they were by no means pleasod to see each other, und the two bears had to be kept & square apart to prevent an awful conflict. " One of the men let fall & suggestion which & number of us were notslow to act on. He wished that his bear could get at the other man’s bear for a few minutes, and a committee was appointed to see if a meeting could not be arrunged. An interview with the respective .owners proved that it could, The bears were about of a size, and 1t was agreed that if we should raise a purse of #25, to be eveuly divided, the animals should be turned loose iu the tavern barn. The idea of a bear fight caught on in great sl and almost every man in town put down his quarter or hulf, and in one hour the purse was full. There wus nosecrecy about she matter, but i with which | was understood that those who “‘chipped” should have the front seats, which in_this case were knot holes or crevices from which the interior could be surveyed, while the stingy ones must take their chances, When each Ttalian had received his money one bear was turned in by the front door and the other by the rear, and we rushed to our lookouts fully expecting to witness the most ter- confliet on earth. You can, there agine our feelings when tho: awppronched each other and beg to roll and rollick like puppies. There wasn’t the slightest growl nor the least desire to fight, and when the owncrs were asked to explan one of them said: Me donta knowa, Can’t maka outa it We made it out Inter or and owners wers old frien working the cket for a regular in- They hit every town in the county for $25,and wo aidn’t get through combing hay seed out of onr hair for three weeks A high or rather nssaultat legs, occurred in the window of an Ann street establishment Tuesday afternoon batween a big bull- frog and adiminutive snapping turtle, says the New York World. A crowd of about filty persons gathered abont the window and watched the contest with as much ost as though the subur- ban was*being run or a championship prize fight was in progross. There is a small tank filled with in the window, and innume fish, half a dozen frogs. s and a trio of young ducks swan about in 1t while the fight was going on. It lasted fifteen minutes and the snapper took the aggressive from the start. Tho frog could only kick and try 1o wway from his ‘antagonist, but the tur- tle got a firm hold on one of his frc ship’s hind feet and held on. The frog churned the water and aragged the turtle all around the tanlk, but tht snap- per’s jaws did not give v for some minutes. There was no time called be- tween rounds. The ducklings climbed up on the window sill and watched the contest critically. When the frog suc- ceeded in getting awuay the turtle made for a big goldfish, which he killed 'n a few minutes. The proprietor of the place put a screen ouer the frogs and threw the fighting turtle into an ash- barrel. The bears and were come. November. Nathan M. Levy.

We have no hesitation in saying that this univer: sity is not for the rich, but for the toil- ers of the land, and_especially the poor and struggling.

It is our only raison d’etre—our only excuse for being. We do not ask or give charity, but simple justice. Society owes it to itself to do this work of which we, to a certain extent, have to be humble in- struments.
