The Dead Body Found or the
 LighthOuse-A Sonss Sad Discov-
 ery-A New London Woman's
 Fate.
 About half-past five o'clock last evening Reporter Robinson of the Palladium brought Frank w. Fisher to the office of Coroner Bollman. He stated that he resides in New London, Conn.,, is nineteen years old and that he thinks the dead body found on Sun day last near the New Haven lighthouse is that of his mother He described the dress that his mother generally wore, her hair and two rings which he had seen with her. Each one of these rings had 'E. to M." written on the inside. His description of the plated ring corresponded to that of the one found on the woman. He saw the ring which is in the possession of Coroner Bol1man and iden- tifed it as the one belonging to his mother. His mother was thirty-four years old and was married when fourteen years of age in New Preston. His mother, year later, married a laborer named James Church. They sep arated and he went to Norwich and she to New London. The woman had six children. She and daughter aged fourteen years have lately been in houses of prostitution.
 A schooner named 'fOak Woods" arrived in New London while ago, and the women were seen hanging about her. They were intimate with the mate and steward. The schooner left New London about three weeks ago and the women left at the same time. Fisher last saw his mother alive about three weeks ago. The family has been broken since last August. He heard from woman that his sister was in West Meriden Farms. His description of the clothing conformed to that found on the woman. The mother told Fisher that she had received the rings from lawyer named E. Johnson, of Johnsenville. The Woman's name is Hattie Church. which explains the ''E. to M." The young man went to the poorhouse to see the clothing last evening" The woman was undoubtedly his mother
 Golden Rule EncamPment.
 Golden Rule encampment's entertainment given last evening in the Atheneum furnished the large audience rare intellectual treat. The music with which the entertainment opened was of high order and the dancing with which it closed was equally enjoyable. But the real feature of the evening was the lecture of Judge Deming entitled "An Even ing's Visit to Many Lands." During the lec ture of more than an hour the audience fol 
 and from city to city with unabated pleas ure. The illustrations were of the highest order, nothing finer in the line ever having been shown in this city, and in the hands of Professor Steele were projected upon the canvas with the most surprising perfection. The lecture was a series of beautiful word pictures set in a framework of history and romance. The lecture should be many times repeated, and wherever repeated it cannot fail to please the most critical audience.
 Golden Rule can congratulate itself upon the success of it's entertainment

 The Elephant He Goes ,Round.
 The following talk about elephants, credit ed to George Arstingstall, the trainer, ap- peared in the Bridgeport Newsi
 An elephant is nobody's fool They're very like human creatures. Some of them are good-natured and some are ugly. They're just like children. When I have them out in the morning for dress rehearsal, they're as quick cats, minding almost before the word is out of my mouth. But in the. after noon they are gaping this way and that, do- ing everything but attending to business, because they know that I won't strike them before g crowd of spectators They hate to take medicine, too, unless it has little of the ''creythur'' in it. Are elephants eyer sick? o, yes They often have the colic When they begin to double up I give lem dose of five OF six gallons of rum and ginger. That straightens 'em out. An equal quantity of linseed oil mixed with aconite and molasses does for physi:, while about five gallons of rum and whiskey are prescribed for the chills. Solid drugs are given in pills. A pill eight inches in diame- ter and containing $6 worth of quinine does the business for cold, while pepsin pill is given when one gets Of his feed. gave Juno over $50 worth of quinine in one fit of sickness They don't like pills as we'll as the whiskey, and it's good deal of a job to get them down. Fhe best way is to put pill the 1 end of a stick, make them open their mouths, 1 and shove it down before they realize the l situation. Sometimes we cut out the middle l of turnip and put the drugs inside the veg | etable, but like the bad child in the Sunday | school book, they're very apt to ''spit out the 1 'ore." Yes. elephants are queer creatures.
