ing to Theodore S. Vaniderstine, who
bought them for breeding purposes,
injured three men and wrecked the
show window of drug store in Cam
den, n, j., recently, while being re-
moved from the cars to their stable.

eccentric gentleman, who made a for
tune by brewing weiss beer, ordered
Carl Hagenbeck, the European deal
er in wild animals, to purchase fifteen
camels for him. Two died crossing
the ocean, and the remaining thirteen
reached New York week ago last
Thursday and arrived in Camden late
the following Saturday night. They

do much work, as their owner has i'm
ported them specially for breeding
purposes.
