Bill Bnyder of the Central Park Zoo had an awful time to-day trying to find some one who could say “Giddap” in the Russian language. His trouble was brought about by the arrival of two Siberian camels in a van from the animal shop of Louis Ruhe, No. 248 Grand street. Bill had long yearned for a couple of Siberian camels, and when Ruhe mage him a fairly respect- able proposition ($680 cash for one male and one female of the species) he took him up. ‘The two camels arrived to-day from | Siberia, via Baltimore, where they had beer! held in quarantine for a month. “Here's your camels, Bill,” said the van driver. “Thanks,” said Bill, opening the vap_ door, “Come out, camels. I have a nice stretch of ground for you, all surrounded by iron fence.” Neither camel paid any attention to the in- vitation. “Get out o’ there, you humped up brutes,” cried the van driver. Oddly enough the camels didn’t budge. “Giddap! Giddap!" called Bill, poking them in their ribs. They didn't understand. “Bay,” said the ‘van driver after @ half hour of wasted time, “them camels need to be spoken to in the Siberian language.” “I guess you're right on that,” agreed Bill. “Do you happen to know the Siberian word for ‘Giddap'?” “I do not,” said the van driver, “but there is a delicatessen man on Second avenue who escaped from Russia four years ago and he will know.” “Has he a telephone?” asked Bill. “He has.” Bill hurried to the Arsenal phone and got the Siberian, who agreed to come right over. He said that he couldn't pronounce the word over the wire without breaking up the tele- | phone system. So in due time he ar- rived, looked over the Siberian camels in the van and finally uttered a sound that was half a cough and half a |sneceze.’ The camels looked at him with gratitude in their large brown leyes and walked right out of the van and into the enclosure Bill had ready for them. The Siberian language for “Giddap” sounded something like “Hutch.” Bill near to it as he can get. “What's the names you're going to “I havent’ decided yet,” he replied. “I wish some reader of The Eventi World would pick out a couple of real interesting names for them.” <> To Present New Chinese Minister.

He aroused Adolph Jensen, janitor of the place, and the janitor's wife. Jensen told his wife to run to One Hundred and Twenty-first street and Broadway and turn in an alarm, while he and Hasbrouck aroused the tenants, Next he instructed the hall- boy to telephone to the eighteen apartments. While that was being done Jensen walked up the stairway ‘and reassured those who began flock. ing into the halls. “Everything is all right,” he sald. “There ta a lot of emoke and very ttle Gre, Now, wo will handle this thing in the right way.

Then Hasbrouck came along with the elevator.

Mrs, Gerry Slade of New York was the founder of the society, but it was not until Mra, Henry Clarke Coe, the present President-General, became President of the New York City Col- ony in 1905 that the members decided to devote themselves to the cause of helping New England girls who were not financially able to realise their ambitions for higher educations. Mra. Coe sought to establish a scholarship for New England girls in Barnard College, and when her efforts were crowned with success the acholarahip, in compliment to her, was named the Mre.

In the mean while the bullets kept on shattering giass and furniture while the gentlemen guests of Mrs. Hammond and Mre. Ditmar fired away at each other. The contesting parties must have used the new “au- tomatics,” for the neighbors declare that the shots came in a steady ripple of sound, ‘When the police arrived alltheammu- nition was used up and the three men arrested were trekking over the roof of the apartment house in an earnest endeavor to avold arrest. But they had been beaten up pretty badly, their opponents baving used chairs and tables on their heads after emptying their revolvers. The three were cut and bruised so badly that they left a trail of blood and the pdlice easily followed them. The two women told the police that Leland, Dolan and Palmer forced their way into the fat this Morning and beat up two other men. The men who were attacked fought with all their power and then re- treated to the basement.
