1t is said that the ACT of Congress pro
vides specially that the Governor shall
continue in office after the expiration O
his term, until a successor is appointed
to replace him. Ii SO, B~hiGuAM is Gov

Ono who is personally acquainted will

chiefs. are hastcnins away to California
or back to the settlements, and that ii
another year, BR!GuAM would fui it hare
to keep his motley company together

We fail to fluid any indications Of sucl
speedy decline, however. We hapc the
President will not wait for the slow nat

that the practice of P~olygamy in Utah
entails upon our Union. \ little firm

showmcn in the country were in atten.
dance, and the bidding seems to have
been spirited. The male and female
giraffes, Colossus and Cleopatra, were
bid in by Mr.. Barnum. They are
valued at $500 each. The seven cl.
cphants were offered in one lot. They
are named pizarro, Mogul, Fanny.
Gcmale,) Canada, Jenny, Qcmale,)
Mary, Oemale,) and Tom Thumb.
The smallest elephant, Tom Thnmb,
weighs about 5000 pounds. He was
exhibited as the "baby elephant a
few years ago, but he is now nearly as
large as the others. The largest Gle
plant weighs about $500 pounds
Barnum and IIowcs imported these ell
ephants from Ceylon in 1919, at a cost
Of $4,000 each. Their daily food
while travelling about the country con
sists of 200 pounds of hay and two
bushels Of oats, and each drinks during
the same time a half barrel Of water,
The bids iun up to $4,000, $500,
$1,000, and were Knocked down to S.
i. lIowes for $4,000. Two lions ant

ornamental travelling wagons owned by
Tom Thumb were sold at S35 anC

hard times. The high prices Of foot
