PRESS OPINIONS


Miss E. Schmidt, of Uvslde, formerly
Of San Antonio, is in the city visiting
and will remain about three weeks.

convention should be held at Fort Worth

country needs. Makes the first COM
pulsOry and others will become vol

Democratic convention. This Is about as

The convention.
SAN ANTONIO LIGHT: Galveston plays
pious as an indictment to the holding Of
the Democratic State convention on the
sand bar. Too utterly too! The virgin,
with her immaculate zone, mistakes the
ensemble of that convention. 1t Is no
meeting Of cid ladies for missionary tea
by large majority.
Philadelphia Times: The free traders
are learning slowly. A little while ago
they were all demanding unlimited free
trade. Now they want free trade in
everything except what their own States
happen to produce. In another year or
two they may have little more wisdom
and advocate the judieious protection
of all native industries Time knocks
wisdom into a great many heads.

The Elephant Tanner.

rOr the last three hours the captain nad
been boiling over with rage. That a strange
Afghan, insane, as he supposed, should have
come into the kheddah. released mad ele
plant, and ridden off with it, after endanger
ing the lives of all the people and elephants
IN the place, was an occurrence 80 eXtraOrdi-
nary that he could scarcely find words to eX
press his surprise and wrath. But when the
same Afghan proved to be sane man and
brought the elephant back safe, quiet and
amenable to orders, his wrath changed to adj
miratiOn. The mans great stature, his Strik
ing though fOrbidding face, his iron nerve
and GOODNESS, and the strange power he SEEM
ed to possess, impressed the AnglO-lndian
greatly.
Well friend" he said, as the Afghan
salaamed, you have given us a great deal of
trouble this afternoon, and put the lives of
many people in danger"
THE Sahib gave me permission to try and
tame the elephant" replied the man quietly.
That is true" said Captain Eaton; but
had supposed for a moment that you were
going to set it at liberty, would never have
given you permission. However you seem
to have been successful. Will the lesson you
have given him be permanent? Will lie re-
main quiet?
''While am with him he will, Sahib."
would it be safe for me to 90 up to him
nOw?'
mo, Sahib. Though he fears me, and will
not attempt to attack Inc, it would not be so
in your case. 1t will be dangerous for you
or any one but myself to go near him for the
present"
what brought you here tO-day?'
81 came to apply for work, Sahib."
"Well, as you have been so successful in
taking the fiend out of that creature, you had
better remain in charge of it till have de-
cided what is to be done" So saying. Eaton
turned to the jemadar and ordered the AT
ghan'S name to be entered on the roll of ma
hOutS at same rate of pay as that drawn by
Shaitan's former mahOut, who was given
other work.
After having given various other orders
and had a good look at the conquered Shat
tan, the captain walked off to his bungalow.
The result of his meditatiOnS that evening
over the strange events of the afternoon was
that next morning he wrote long report to
government, detailing what had happened,
and strongly recommending that the ele-
plant should not be shot as ordered but left
in charge of BuX Khan, the elepEanttamer.
lie, however, requested permission to shoot
it at once, without waiting for the sanction of
government, in the event of its breaking out
again.

THE ELEPmANT-rAMER's CHILD.

THE ELEPIIANT-TAMER's CHILD.
Next morning BuX Khan entered on his
duties as the mahOut of the elephant Shaitan,
According TO his prediction, Shatan, after
the severe lesson it had received, remained
quiet and made no attempt to attack him.
The animal would not, however, allow any
one else to approach it; and an unfortunate
fodder cOolie, who carelessly went within its
reach, while throwing it bundle of grass,
received a blow from its trunk that sent him
TO the hospital for several days. Bux Khan
had consequently himself to do all the work
connected with the elephant to feed and
battle il. and to dress its sores, and TO clean
ont its stable. He took il every day to work:
and it wrought steadily and quietly, without
evincing the slightest disposition to attack
any of the other elephants. In fact Shaitan
became to all intentS and purposes perfect
ly steady, Woodworking elephant, with the
single fault that II was extremely dangerous
for any + fSOn but its mahOut to 20 near it.
The feat that BuX Khan had performed in
subduing Shaitan made him, in the eyes of
all who were employed at the kheddah, a
sort of hero. None of them, however, could
understand the strange power he seemed to
exercise over the savage brute. Many OF
them attributed IL to magic. An impudent
fodder cOOlie ventured TO ask him one day
what was the charm he employed. But so
fierce was the scOwl with which the Afghan
responded to the question that the man turn
edhaStily away, and never afterward dared
to speak to him. The peculiar temper and
disposition of the eephanttamer only served
to confirm the opinion of his fellows that
there was something uncanny about him.
He was very taciturn, never speaking except
on matters of business Frequently, though
addressed in friendly manner, he would
make no reply. When not at work, he would
sit smoking for hours near his elephant with
his eyes on the ground, silent and motion
less and apparently obliyiOus of all surround
ings. He would not associate with any of
his fellow-mahOuts, but cooked his own
meals and ate them by himself. Bux Khan,
however, won golden opinions from Captain
Eaton by the way he did his work. Shaitan
rapidly improved in condition and temper,
and became as valuable and useful an ami
NAL as any in the kheddah.
About three days after his installation as
Shaitan's mahOut BN Khan applied one
afternoon for an hours leave of absence. On
his return, he brought with him little boy,
about five years old, who was evidently his
son, though as unlike him in many respects
as il was possible to be. The child was ex-
ceedingly pretty, of a bright olive complex

Staten Island Added to New York.

The New York World explains to a
correspondent the way in which Staten
Island became portion OF New York
State: When the Duke of Y ork conveyed
New Jersey to Berkeley and Carteret it
was found that Staten Island had not
been mentioned in the patent, and q
doubt arose as to the proprietorship Of
it. 1t was argued that 1t belonged to
New York because one of the outlets OF
the Hudson river flowed around IL. On
the other hand, its geographical position
was apparent, and the Dutch had al
ways regarded 1t rs part Of the New
Jersey mainland. Finally, the Duke Of
York settled 1t by decreeing that all
islands in the river or bay that could be
circumnavigated in "a hours should re-
main In his jurisdiction. Captain
Christopher BillOp, taking up the dukes
cause, accomplished the feat in the pre-
scribed time with the ship Bentley"
and won the island for New York The
duke, in gratitude for his service, gave
him ! 1853 acres OF land in the southern
part of the island. The grant was.after-
ward known as the Manor Of Bentley"

THE PALACE O. THE KING.


It's bonnie, bonnie warl that we're Twin

An sunny is the Ian we often traivel thro'
But in vain we look for something to which
our hearts can cling,
For its beauty is as naething to the palace o.

We like the gildcd simmer wi its merry,
merry tread,
An we sigh when hoary winter lays its beau
ties wi the dead;
For though bonnie are the snaw-hal<es, an the

It's fine to ken it daurna touch the palace o

Then again I'VE Just been thinking that when

The sun in a its grandeur an the mune wi

The ocean l. the simmer an the woodland T.

What maun it be up yonder i the palace o.

Nae NIGHT shall be in heaven an nae desolat.

Where the lamb is a the glory, i the palace

That Norfolk Navy Yard.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Representa-
tives Boutslle (of Maine) and Brady (of
Virginia) authorize the following state
ment, in answer to letter of Commodore
Truxton, in regard to the condition of af-
fairs at the Norfolk navy yard. They say
that it is Enthusiastically shown that Commo-
dore Truxton did cause the removal of an
honorable inscription from the dry dock
engine, as charged, and that he made
wholesale removals Of old Union sailors,
and replaced them with ex-confederates, in
violation Of the law. Commodore Truxton
says he "always doubted Mr.. Lyons loyalty
to the government at the time Of its great
est need," and in support of this imputa-
ton he presents in his letter card alleged
to have been published by Mr.. Lyons, in
1861, protesting allegiance to the confeder-
ate cause. Mr.. Lyons denounces the card
as an unqualified forgery and falsehood,
and he so denounced it publicly at the time
of its first appearance, during heated po-
litical campaign, in 1868.

Checknated.

SIOUX FALLS, OAK, March 9.-The most
important case ever adjudicated here was
decided in this city this morning, by Chief
Justice Tripp. The case was the attach
ment suit of the Sioux Falls national bank
against the First national bank, the grounds
Of which were that the First national was
negotiating transfer of its assets and liza
bilities in order to avoid payment Of the
cashiers check for $4,000, which had come
into the hands of the Sioux Falls national.
Justice Tripp sustained the attachment. A
former attachment, based on somewhat diff
ferent allegations, was dissolved by Judge
Palmer, of this district. The second at
tachment was served about ten days ago,
since which time the First national has
been closed and in the hands of the sheriff.
The argument of the case commenced at
2 p. m. yesterday and continued until l:S0
this morning.

Proposition to Submit the Division and
Admission Question to a Popular Vote.
w WAsH1NGToN, March 9.-It is said that
the democrats from Dakota have quietly
agreed on compromise on the question of
admission, which will be submitted in q
few days. They propose that vote shall
be taken next November on the following
propositions:
!. Shall the territory be divided on the
Missouririver?
2. Shall it be divided on the forty-sixth
parallel?
8. Shall the whole territory be admitted
as state, or shall South Dakota be ad-
mitted?
At this general election, it is proposed
that delegates be elected all over the terri
tory to meetin convention and carry out the
will of the majority of the people. Thus
North Dakota would be represented in the
convention, and if the majority of votes
cast should not be for either division, and
should be in favor of the admission of the
Whole territory, the convention could 90 on
and frame constitution to submit to con-
gress. If the majority should be in favor
ofdivision on the forty-siXth parallel, dele
gates from North Dakota could withdraw
and those representing South Dakota
would be ready to 60 on and adopt con-
stitution. 1t is thought that this is the
only measure on admission likely to pass
both houses of congress this session.

Murray today sent to the legislature
his veto of the general appropriation bill,
stating that notwithstanding the impera-
tive need Of appropriations to carry on the
territorial government, he must decline to
sign the bill, because it contemplates the
continuance in authority of the present
usurping incumbents of the offices of ter
ritorial auditor and treasurer. LegisIa-
ture has constantly sought to restrict the
authority of the United States in this ter

Woodland and Charles McKim, of Corden,
Ind, got on the west bound accommodation
train on the Decatur & Evansville road
this morning at Mattoon, for the purpose
of stealing ride to Decatur. They took
refuge in box car, which was closed and
locked. When within ten miles of Deca-
uur the trio became involved in a fight,
which ended in tragedy. McKim shot
Ivey in the head, back and abdomen, and
Woodard, who also had revolver, emptied
the five chambers at McKim without hit
ting him. Nine shots were fired in the dark
car, while Ivey lay upon the floor welter-
ing in his life blood. The noise
attracted the attention of the con-

marshal, who happened to be on board,
went to the car, opened it, and found Nc
Kim and Woodland in hand to hand con-
flict over the body Of Iyey, whoawas nneon-

Decatur and placed in jail. Ivey is at the
Laclede hotel, and was thought to be dy-

worked for farmers in Logan county, stated
that McKim fired the first shot without
provocation. for the purpose of robbing his
partner Ivey), and that he (Woodward)
did not shoot until he thought McKim in
tended to kill him. There was but $S4O

Kim alleges that his companions had made
