Cures For Sick Elephants.

A noted trainer OF animals has been
giving some seiulinformation respect
ing the elephant. Like ourselves, some
elephants are handsome, some ugly.
Like ourselves, as they grow older their
tempers grow worse. 'Do they like
physic?' "No; they hate 1t Just as you or
l." "Are elephants ever sick?" 80 yes!
They often have the collie. When they
begin to double up give 'eln dose of
five or six gallons OF rum and ginger"
remarked this experienced gentleman.
''Ihat straightens 'em out. An equal
quantity OF boiled linseed oil mixed with
aconite and molasses does for physic,
while about five gallons OF rum and
whisky are prescribed for chiils. Solid
drugs are given in pills. A pill eight
inches in diameter and containing 30s.
worth of quinine does the business for q
cold, while Il pepsin pill Is given when
one gets oil his feed. They don't like
the pills as well rs the whisky, and its
a good deal OF job 10 get them down.
The best way Is to put pill on the
end of stick, make them open their
months, and shove il down before they
realize the situation. Sometimes we
cut out the middle Of turnip and put
the drugs inside the vegetable, but,
like the bad child in the Sunday school
book. they're very apt to spit out the
core" Elephants are, indeed, queer
creatures, and very like children in
many ways.-lPall Mall Gazette.

contained abont $50. Darcy recovered
consciousness and grabbed the pocket
book, but one of the men got the money

CLUBS WE'RE TRUMPS.
Riotous Strikers Routed by the Polio

bIObOHS SCf1kerS Kouteu by the HOIlces
CLEVELAND, O., July 16.-The antici-
pated collision between the strikers and po-
lice occurred yesterday afternoon at four
O'Clock. A meeting was held in Newburg,
and several reporters who entered the hall
were savagely thrown out. After the meet
ing 700 men, mostly Poles and BOhemians,
formed into line and marched to
the plate mill, which was in operation.
The men in the plate mills ara
not affected by the reduction, and
were opposed to stopping work in the first
place. They were forced out finally by the
foreigners and remained idle until yester-
day, when the mill resumed operations. The
mob increased in numbers as it progressed,
and when 1t arrived at the mill it aggre-
gated at least one thousand men. The strik-
ers were armed with clubs studded with
nails, pieces of iron and large stones. The
fifty police on duty were supplied with
maces twenty-five inches long and self
acting revolvers, and were stationed at the
Htna street entrance to the mill yards. A
picket fence fifteen feet high incloses the
grounds. The gate was open, and near it
were the police. Ktna street at this point
is sixty feet wide and paved with cinders
and Stag from neighboring furnaces. Thir-
ty-four additional policemen were in the
mill.
at 3:45 the patrolmen were ordered home
to rest, preparatory to going on duty at
night They started down HEtna street,
met the strikers, turned and double-quicked
it to the mill, hooted and stoned by the
strikers. Deputy-Superintenden Mcmahon
gave the order to tall in and a line was
formed about forty feet from the mill gate.
The mob approached and Mcmahon asked
what was wanted. One of the leaders re-
piled that they were determined to close
the mill. The police officers argued with
them, but to no purpose. The men in the
rear ranks began to throw stones. and
there was considerable hard talk, a
push forward, and then rush. The
police advanced and the two forces met,
the strikers throwing stones and cinders
and fourishing their clubs. The policemen
used their maces and drove the strikers
back inch by inch. Six officers were in
juTed in the battle, and thirty-fve strikers
were lying on the ground when the Skin
mish was brought to an end, but only seven
of them were arrested. The remainder
were carried off the field by their friends.
The fight lasted but five minutes.
