Not Much Likelihood of Her Being
the ChIIdren's Pet.

Barnum's new elephant Alice, the con-
sort of the late Jumbo, was fettered at the
"Zoo,' preparatory to shipping her to
America. A large force of workmen were
occupied several hours in moving her a
hundred yards. Although she had been
kept several days without food, she offered
such dangerous resistance that it was re-
solved to immerse her in a pond. The
k -epers managed to get her partly sub
merged, but the beast drove them off by
filling her trunk with water and squirting
it upon them until they were nearly drown
ed and waded back to terra hrma. She
was finally confined in a massive box, but
before she could be secured she had
smashed several heavy timbers forming the
frame work and nearly demolished the
front end of the structure.

A Mrs. Jones, who died recently at Bode-

her death, that she was the mother of
Henry NJ. Stanley. She stated that the
entry of birth could be found in the records
of the local surgery, and that the surgeon

time subsequently traced Stanley until the
latter went to America. 1t is proposed to
erect a monument over the woman's grave,
