An Illegal North Carolina Elopement

Inc durham, NC, Gto6e has Information
concerning a romantic elopement which took
place at Greensboro (N.C.) female college a
few days ago. Ed Heilig of Mt. Pleasant, N
c., was sutton for the hand of Miss Matte
Kindley of the same place, and objections seem
to have been interposed by the young lady's
parents, who dispatched their daughter off to
the boarding school, hoping to break of the
attachment. Young Heilig went to Green's
boro', procured a ladder, mounted to his lady
loves window, and in the darkness of the night
carried her off and took her to Salisbury, where
they were married. The last legislature of the
state granted this institution special police
powers for the prevention of such disturbances
and making it a misdemeanor to enter the
grounds for the purpose of interfering with or
inducing any student to violate the rules of the
institution. As this is the first violation since
this enactment it is thought that action will be
instituted against young Heilig.

ARMY HORSES TAILS.
The Reason Why They Are Long in
the Cavalry.

AS woman's hair is her crown Of
glory. SO the horses tail is his sceptre OF
grace, says a writer. 1t Is a noticeable
fact, and one worthy Of comment, that
never in the history Of our army have
the tails of the troopers horses, nor Of
those of the light batteries, been med
died with. Not so with the tails Of
horses seen in haunts Of fashion. The
custom of docking their tails is now car
ried to al absurd extent, and ultra fash
ionables leave their faithful slaves scarce
" any tails at all 1t now seems proba-
Die that it will end like that Of the farm
er's dog whose tail was cut of just be-
hind his ears.
Thirty years or less ago it was the
fashion to prick" horses tails as well
SIS to dock" or cut them OF. The de-
pressOry muscles were severed after the
removal of about twO-thlrds Of the tail
itself, and the mutiated stump was ele-
vatad by means Of rope attached to
weight, PASSED through a pulley in the
ceiling Of the stable. This, while pos
sibly excusable in the treatment Of
horses that kicked and became danger
Gus when their tails were thrown over
the reins in driving, was, as rule,
cruel and q seuscloss custom.
Some horsemen claim that blocking"
improves deficient quarters, @ claim
which is easie. to make than to estab-
lsh
The horse has been aptly liked to a
ship; his head represents the bow, his
body the hull and his tail the rudder.
The eye is the lookout and the prompt
obedience of motion to that indicated
by the quick movement of the tail. Is
more rapid than that of the most faith
full Ixion. The folly OF the votarles OF
fashion is greater than they dream Of,
their lives even sometimes paying the
penalty.
The body of the horse is inclined, per
haps imperceptibly, but none the less
surely, toward the point to which he de-
sires to direct his course. The head IS
turned, ALSO more or less in the same
direction, the tail incining toward an
opposite course and the long hair flows
outward, gently favoring the grace OF
movement. 4 "swish" of the tail
when suddenly changing direction at
speed, aids the horse in maintaining his
balance and enables him to turn quickly
and gracefully. In his employment by
the civilians, in such sports as require
speed and obedience, the animals abill-
ty to move quickly in changing direction
is sacrificed to crafty a senseless whim.
TIE polo player is mounted on o pony,
agile and willing to answer his master s
slightest wish. He is fleet, active and
well-trained, but, deprived of his steer
ing apparatus and when he needs it
most, must founder like ship that has
lost its rudder. Very probably the re-
cent accidents at the polo games at New
port would not have happened if the
ponies had not been "docked."
Who ale the best riders in the world'
The Comanches. Do they dock their
ponies tails2 No, they ere far too wise
and cunning to do anything so foolish.
True, they sometimes clip a pony's ear,
but that does not perceptibly impede his
movement. Inquiry and research fail tc
show that horses tails are cut off in any
cavalry regiments in the world.

South of Ashland for fifteen miles the
forest is ablaze. Cumberland, Wiscon-

several months. Fires are raging in
every direction, threatening heavy losses

flames are raging through Il timber
and over the farms. In several places
men are blinded by smoke, and are
working in brigades trying to check
the progress of the fire. North of this

was burned; the flames were famed by
brisk south wind, rapidly sweeping
everything before them. The danger
from the same source is also reported

enger elevator in the new Schwartz
building was tested to-day. The superin-
tendent of construction, Conell, cut the
elevator loose and let it fall the whole
five stories, distance of sixty-fve feet
to an air tight brick vault to show the
entire safety of such fall ConelI, with
Jones, was accompanied by Rosnnfeld,
reporter for the Telegram. The eleva-
tor went down with an awful velocity,
and when the doors were opened
the three men were found lying in the
bottom of the car insensible, with their
heads badly cut; their injuries may
prove fatal as all suffered a severe
spinal shock.
