Weak Woman vs.. Tyrant Man.

HERE is an illustration of what can
be done by defenseless, weak and I'M
protected woman when lett alone to
deal with the tyranny of heartiess men.
1t was in Booths Theater last Saturday
afternoon. A woman entered with
seven companions. and took possession
of eight orchestra chairs. Presently
eight other claimants of the same seats
came along. There was comparison
of tickets, and it was found that the
party in possession held tickets for the
matinee of the preceding Wednesday.
Explanation was followed by expostula-
ton. and this in turn by denunciation.
All in vain. The manager was sent for
Madam" said he, ''you must relin-
quish these seats. Your tickets are
valueless." 'That is no fault of mine
I paid for them, and mean to keep
them" MADAM, 1 insist" The
enemy said nothing, but sat still. The
manager argued, appealed, implored.
offered other seats. offered stage box.
offered compromise on any terms. while
the rightful owners of the seats looked
and thought unspeakable things. Sale
the garrison: ''Tell you what ri do; give
me two season tickets for Rernhardt In
q good part of the house, and / will sur
render" The manager gasped, utter
ed q blessing beneath his breath, bowet
and declined to continue the converse

but did issue another set Of free admis

Utilizing Elephant Power.

ALMOST all the vehicles and other
property of the London Circus. which
arrived in Bridgeport, Saturday night,
have been housed. One feature of the
work of getting the effects under cover
was novel and interesting. Some of the
chariots are very heavy, weighing sew
eral tons, and were sunk deeply in the
soft soil. Too many horses to be used
conveniently would have been required.
and accordingly the elephant-trainer
brought two, of the sixteen elephants of
the herd into requisition. It was inter-
esting to see how intelligently the
beast did what was required of them,
and to observe their tremendous
strength. Turning their trunks around
the hubs or the spokes, they lifted the
vehicles out of the ruts, and after carry
ing them into the building, shifted them
to any position desired. One of the
cAariots, which they picked up with
ease, weighed five tons. 1t was not a.
WAYS easy for them to take hold of their
load so that it balanced we'll between
them, but they invariably succeedea
after while in getting everything ad-
justed.-Ncw HGren Palladium.
