 In closing Senator Platt eulogized Hon. Henry B.

Curing an EIephant's Corns.


 ''How is the Light of Asia2'" said CoUR- TER reporter to Charley Davis, the newspaper scribe who travels with the Forepaugh show, last night.
 ''Oh, in excellent health,'' replied Davis, ''but he has been troubled with corns. In Siam the pampered beast stood upon velvet cushions, and suppose had his feet attend ed daily by native manicure. When Fore paughs agent took charge of the elephant at Penang the Chinese opium smuggler who brought him to that place warned him that the Light of Asia was not accustomed to standing on g. hard floor. Turkish rugs were used under his feet until the show left Phila- delphia. During the summer he has trav- eled in padded car, but lately the attend ants have grown careless and neglected to pad new car to which he had been, trans ferred In a few days after being moved to his new quarters the pallid pachyderm was limping like a confirmed cripple. Then a white elephant does not appear to have the courage that black one possesses
 E"Why sop
 ''Wel1, hardly know why, but suppose it is because white ones are petted from birth and don't know what it is to have the steel point of the trainer'si hook iabbed into them. As soon as the Light of Asias' cbrns began to trouble him he became as pettish as a child. He would stand for hours alter nately lifting his feet while the tears trickled down his trunk and he whined piteously. Professor Nathaniel R.. Vosburp, an attache of the Philadelphia geological garden and a famous veterinary surgeon, was telegraphed for. He came to Providence and Operated successfully on the princely beasts pedal ex- tremities."
 "Did he cut them!'
 "Cut themg' repeated Davis, fkwhy, he fairly carved them. Took sliyers as big as saucer off the four worst corns and treated the others with ointment. Then each foot of the Light of Asia was swaddled in a cush- ion saturated with a soothing lotion. After that he walked without pain, and has been doing very well since. Professor vosburg said the padded car must be continued, or the animals feet would never get we'll. In he trimmed once a week, which is no small matter, for voshurg charged S1eo for the Providence job.n
