FRANK Wilkeson.
How cold the dark water OF Lake Su-
perior. One evening when we were steam
ing across the lake 1 asked the mate what
was done when q man fell overheard. He
coolly replied: "Nothing."
"Why?" l asked, astonished at his
heartlessness.
"The water of Lake Superior is so cold
that q man cannot live in 1t during the
time it takes to stop rapidly moving
vessel and lower a boat" he replied.
Then he added: az have sailed on this
lake for twenty years. During that time
have known many men to fall of vessels.
l know of one man only VINO escaped
death. He was saved by scratch. The
others were apparently killed by the
shock produced by falling into such cold
water"
He picked up an empty can to which 8
long string was attached, and cast it
overheard. The Can skipped from the
crest Of one wave to that of another for
sn instant, then dipped and filed. The
hosry headed mste drew that full can up
and handed 1t to me, saying: "Take 3
drink of that, and then you say Whist you

A. GREAT SCHEME.
Hyenas, Crocodiles and Big Stakes laugh
to Travel Ahead of the Show.

to Travel Ahead OF ths Show,
New York Telegram.
The latest scheme in managerial enter
prise is Herr Mensard's plan to civilize
wild animals and train hem to travel
alone. He has met with remarkable
success.
twill be remembered that Herr Man
serd recently bought Baptist Church
st auction. The building is used for his
training school. In the short space OF
four weeks he has taught niue tigers and
six hyenas to obey him like trained dogs.
His system seems to be the only correct
method known.
He will save travelling shows thousands
OF dollars in expense every year. His
plan is to train wild beasts so perfectly
that they will obey every command. He
will do away with transportation en-
tirely. Instead Of paying Mr.. Depew
$4,000 for transporting wild beasts
through the state OF New York, he will
muzzle the animals and order them to
meet him st the place where the show is
to be held.
AS an experiment he muzzled six Of his
fercest lions and lot of tigers the other
night and turned them loose, with orders
to meet the train st Syracuse on the fol-
lowing morning.
He had previously let them smell the
map on which Syracuse was smesred with
raw beef The beasts shifted the blood
and started at wild gallop for SYRIA
cuse.
The station agent there said they reach
ed the depot two hours before daylight
| and howled for the train. The experiment
has proved success. kilograms from
along the route saylthat the apimals went
through the towns like cyclone, and did
| not make single stop. Everybody gave
| them wide berth, and was glad to escape
alive, never dreaming that the fierce
beasts were travelling by special orders
from the show. Each animal wore
placard in boldly printed characters
"Admit one. This animal Is not to
be shot; by order OF Herr Mansard'
trainer"
A further experiment was made two
DAYS ago. 1t was even more successful
Several wild beasts, q couple OF zsoras.
two panthers, six boa constructors, two
| isckals and Ceylon crocodile were
heavily blanketed and ordered to meet
the show at MeadvilIe. They bounded
away at wonderful speed. but got In
little late, owing to terrible fight a.
Elmirs with q rival mensgerie. The
crocodile had piece Of his tail chopped
en- by brakeman, and one Of the tiger:
had his ears badly chewed up. Other
wise the animals were In good Condition
and eager for exhibition. The new sys

not as high as the white plug hats that Tam
many wore to the st. Louis convention.
Torches cost from twenty-five cents 10 81.
with reduction for gross or hundred rates. The
double-swing torch is sometimes cheapest,
though the straight torch is sold lower by some
frms. 1t depends on the handle and mount
ings. The dearest torches are the comoins-
ton to-ch and lanterns and the musket torches
that have the oil in the barrel and the
wick at the muzzle. Spun brass, nickei-Dlated
torches that can be fastened on q cap sell for
30 cents. Fire candles cost 81 a dozen. illumi-
nations 81. 90 a dozen. and Chinese lanterns
from 81 90 a hundred to so cents apiece.
Plumes can be bought for 10 cents. There are
others worth half a dollar. A gilt pine-cone
holder with ostrich plumss is among the most
costly. Buffalo hair fountain and flowing plumes
are only a quarter, and white curled feathers
eighteen inches long and capable OF being made
into excellent plumes go for 10 cents each.
There are feathers of all kinds which may be
used for the same purpose.
Belts sell at 10 cents and upward; l~egciugs for
q quarter a pair; and gilt eagles, which are stuck
on everything, for two and three cents apiece by
the Wholesale. The FIRE gilt pine cone-holders,
about which so much is said IN describing the
attractions of the caps and helmets, can be
bought separately for Sc a gross. Buckles for
the belts are made with the names of the candi-
dates on them, or their initials or portraits, at
the low price OF two postage stamps each.
1t is not a costly thing to get up and uniform
a campaign club; what il costs is to keep il GO
ing. AS the above figures show, uniforms,
torches, caps and all the rest of the equipment
can be had. with a fair amount OF gorgeousness,
for $500 a gross, at a liberal estimate. a cam
paiRn club can be equipped as low as $3.50 q
gross. One hundred and foriy-four men eau
blow in twice that much in one parade night.
That is what costs more than the ostrich feath'
ers and the hue gilt pine cone-holders.

Not Very SuccessfnI.

The workmen put In the last of the lights at
the;ball park yesterday afternoon, and last night
all of them were lighted and an attempt was
made az knocking the ball around. The re-
suit was quite Disappointing to the stockholders
of the club. 1t was found that the lights were
by no means as brilliant as it was hoped they
would be. 1t seems that when the two lights
were burning in the test MADE q couple OF weeks
ago they made q much more brilliant display
than they did last night. when compelled to
share with thirteen or fourteen other lights.
The fact that a strong wind was blowing no
doubt affected the lights somewhat, but IL was
quite evident that the illumination was by no
means sufficient to light the grounds
for playing at night An old ball could
not be seen at any distance at all, and a
new ball was visible only a part OF the time as
il sailed through the air. Healy and one or two
others of the players suggested that IL additional
lights be placed back Of third and first bases,
aud a reflector used, the light would be suff-
Gent, as the main trouble seemed TO be In seeing
ground balls. but not many conceded in this
opinion. President Brush is now afraid that
the experiments will not be a success. and that
the expense TO which the club has gone in put
ting in the lights will be a loss. However, IL
might be we'll TO leave the lights where they are.
as the park might be rented for summer evon-
Ing exhibitions OF some kind.

and got started from Castle Garden az about
2 o'clock p. NJ. via the Sixth avenue Elevated
road for uptown. At the Fifth-avepue
Hotel I met a man who said be was a mug
wump. Being a foreigner / naturally asked
him what q mugwump might be. He said a
mugwump was a man who was opposed 10
the election OF James G.. Blains. 1 said ir
seemed TO me that as an issue this was better
four years ago than at present, and that such a
~rallving cry az that would finally lose it's effect.
especiaIly il Mr.. Blaine ultimately died, as he
mirht, in future years. de said he thought
that would really make no difference. Several
people had asked him that question before, but
his reply had always been that he was q mug
wump on principle, and palsied be the hand
that would seek to turn him aside. Once d
mugw Jump always a mugwump was bis motto.
The mugwump party, hs contended, ives
greater than any man, and that
even the death of Mr.. Blaine could not cause thu
great party that had sprung into existence as a
result of his candidacy to abandon its great dec
~laration of principles, and he hoped that a hun
dred years from now his party would be found
as actively and earnestly opposed to the candi-
dacy OF Mr.. Blaine as it 10 now. Besides, be
said che Republicans had made him so mad that
he'd be - If they should ever suit him again
anyway. He then apoloeized for swearing. and
