BaaNUM's sIs ELEPHANT.
JUMBO,
Arrives in New York and is Safely
Landed.

New York. April 9.
Jumbo, the largest elephant in captivity in
the world and for Is years the pride of Lon
don Geological Gardens, was landed on our
shores today from the steamer Assyrian.
Monarch, which left London March 25. The
vessel steamed up the harbor early this MORN
ing and anchored in the stream. She was
quickly boarded by P. T. Barnum, Hutchin-
son and Bailey and party of friends, also
by q large delegation representatives of the
press.
An announcement in the morning papers
that Jumbo had arrived brought, at An early
hour, large and curious and continually in
creasing crowd to pier one, and to the dock of
the Monarch Line Steamship Co., in Jersey
City.
There was, however, no hope of their get
ting even glimpse of Jumbo, for it was late
in the evening before the. huge animal was
landed at pier one, preliminary to being taken
up Broadway to Madison Square Garden
where a large and curious crowd has re-
manned throughout the day.
By the time Jumbo had reached the pier
the crowd at that point had grown to enOr-
nous proportions.
Barnum first greeted Matthew Scott who
has had charge of Jumbo since the elephant
was four wears old, and Newman, his own
trainer, better known as elephant Bill,
who he sent to London to accompany Jumbo
on the voyage.
Barnum said that though he had paid two
thousand pounds for Jumbo. as English peo-
pie had shown so much sentimentality about
letting him leave England, ne would send
him back there in November, and with him
the smallest elephant in the world.
quart of whiskey was given the elephant
by his keeper, Scott, and swallowed to the in
tense amusement of the spectators.
Barnum remarked, if Jumbo had never
been given whiskey or beer he would noe be
three feet taller.
The strong wooden easement in which
Jumbo was confined is fifteen feet high.
Scott said that on the first day of the voy-
age Jumbo had shown signs of discomfort.
and on the second day refused but afterwards
took regularly his 200 pounds of hay per day
besides other food.
Scott said he conducted Baroness Burdett
Coutts to see Jumbo on board the steamer
prior to departure, and the Baroness sent a
large present of bon bOns for the animal.
Scott also showed letter received from Ken
sington Palace, from the children of the
Duke of Kent, reletives of the Queen, offer
ing to supply Jumbo with all kinds of delica-
cies for his voyage.

DUBLIN, April 8.
Mr.. Smythe, West Meath landlord, while
returning from church last Sunday with
ladies, was fred at, hut escaped, while one of
the ladies was killed. He has written letter
to Gladstone in which he says:

The Lewiston Gazette desires to be in
formed who pays the 1928 duty per ton on
steel rails. When the duty was first i'm
posed the price OF steel rails in this coun-
try soon fell from sl5S 50per ton to SlO2.-
80. From that fact it appears that the
imposition of the tax was followed by de-
cline instead of rise in the price of rails.
1t farther appears that the price of rails
continued to cheaper. and that the average
cost of rails since that time has been but
little above $50 per ton. According to
the theory of the Gazette the price should
have gone up, as soon as the duty was
placed. to $1S6.50 per ton, but the facts
don't correspond to that theory.
