TIP WAS IN A RAGE.
The Central Park Elephant Nearly Kills His
Keeper.

HArcPtEs
Tip. the elephant presented by Mr.. Fore
paugh to the Central Park menagerie, came
near adding another victim yesterday to his
record Of eight keepers tina. he has already
killed. Early in the day William Snyder, who
has charge Of the elephants, was cleaning up
the cage Of Tom and Lizzie, q couple Of ele-
plants that live next door to Tip, when 10
heard report like pistol shot, and the next
moment Tip was trying to knock down the par
| tition between his quarters and those Of the
couple next to him. Snyder entered Tips cage
and found that the brute had broken the band
about its body and was charging at the wooden
wall that kept him from his rival, Tom.
The keeper went to quiet the animal. but
with that scream which 10 peculiar to a ''rogue"
the elephant turned on him, seized him with
its trunk and held the man In midair.
Three or four tinss the animal thrust at the
man with its tusks, and it was in warding OF
| these attacks that Snydsr's right hand was IN
jured. ana it was owing to the animals tusks
having been cut that the man was not killed at
once.
The elephant, snragsd ct its i'll success in try
ing to kill it's keeper, threw him violently on
the ground. Snyder struck the back partition
Of the cage with his head and was rendered un-
conscious.
Tn. elephant, bent on crushing out the mans
life by trampling on him, rushed toward its
victim. Snyder had, however, fallen outside
the elephants range, which again and again tried
| to reach the keeper, but the cham on the
hind leg was true, and the brute, finding itself
foiled in one way, then began to batter the par
| tition again, knocking out large splinters Of
wood.
Policeman Murphy had seen from the front
| OF the cage what had happened and he ran
around to the rear OF the building and dragged
| out Snyder. with no little risk to his own lie.
Snyder soon recovered consciousness and
| except for bruised head and wounded right
| hand seemed none the worse for his expert
i ence.

LIQUOR HABIT CURED,
Two Sons Of ex-senator Fair Hypnotized to
Dislike Drink,


A special to the New York Word from San
Francisco says: Senator James Fair, the father
of Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, and perhaps the
richest man on the Pacific coast, has two sons.
James jr., and Charles, who have been, to put
it mildly, very wild boys.
When James, ir., came out two months ago
from the German Hospital where he had been
seriously Ill on account of excessive drinking.
some friends talked TO him of DR.. Brown, the
hypnotist, who said to have performed
wonders with an opium taker. and after a great
deal of persuasion he was induced to pay the
hypnotist visit.
Brown knew his man and he exercised his
will power upon tie palate of the heir apparent
to millions. He was kept under hypnotic in
1uences for several hours, and when he was
brought back to a conscious state ne was told
by the healer to 60 and drink no more.
The admoLition was unnecessary. He could
not drink. He made vigorous effort, but
failed. The liquor acted on him as ar emetic.
That was six weeks ago, and he has not tasted
drop since Before this he had to be put to
bee i've nights out OF seven.
Young Fair then took his younger brother
Charles, to Brown, and he, too. was put under
the spell. In his case 1t also worked like a
charm, and he developed an intense dislike for
liquor. He told the World represen tativs that
SO sick of liquor 10 he that the swinging doors
Of u saloon fairly naussste him.
There is no happier man on the coast than

COL. INGERsOLL's TRIBUTE,

A Pittston. Pa, special says: Contrary re-
ports exist to Miss Anna Dickinson's con-
dition and the chance OF her recovery. Her
family have the pardonable tendency to believe
she is improving and will soon be in good
mental condition, but others not connected by
ties of consequently believe she will never
again be men tally sound.
Miss Susan E. Dickinson, at her home in West
Pittston, today was quite hopeful Of Anna
ultimate recovery. Her condition was never
as desperat ate as some of the newspapers repre-
sented in their cruel eagerness to create a sem
sation, said Miss Susan, land am confident
that with proper care and rest she will recover.
although do not expect that she will ever
again be as strong as she has been. DR.. Schultz.
the superintendent of the DanviIle Hospital.
says in his letters to me that her mental trouble
is wholly the result Of a nervous system CON-
pletely broken down by years of overwork in
the public service, and that the only one thing
he has to do restore her mental equilibrium
is to use the utmost skill Of his profession in re-
storing her nerves to some degree Of health.
He says that as it has taken years for her to
run down to this point her recovery must
necessarily be slow and that she will mover be
strong enough for hard work again. No, have
not been to see her at the Danvilie Hospital, for
the reason That Dr. Schultz writes me that II
would not be wise to do SO, since it would bring
back to her mind memories that it is best not
to recall. He insists that her mind must not
be disturbed. Some persons were foolish
enough to write to her. but the doctor very
considerably returned their letters"
Others declare that Anna Dickinson's de-
mentia goes back to her failure es an actress
that she has never believed she did not sue
coed artistically in ker brief venture on the
stage. The absurd fasco was, TO her thinking,
a brilliant achievement. Even at that time,
it is claimed, she must have been mentally un-
balanced. for she talked vehemently and in
coherently of Q plot to ruin her theatrical
chances.
She declared that men of the political party
opposed to her own had conspired, in retalia-

The skin-Grafting Experiments Of DIR. Eye
and His Deductions.

The skin-Grafting Experiments Of DIR. Eye
and His Deductions.
A Reading, Pa, special to the New York Sun
says: Much interest has been an akened through
out Pennsylvania by series Of unique exps ri
ments which DR.. John Eye Of this city ia now
bringing to a conclusion. He first engrafted
strips Of skin taken from the arm of a white
man upon the arm of a black man, and next he
sngrafted skin from the arm of q colored man
upon the leg OF white man.
The results have been that the strips Of
white skin in the black mans flesh have re-
manned white, while the strips Of black skin
transplanted upon the white man have turned
white. From these facts Dr. Eye deduces the
conclusion that white must have been the
original color of mankind. Had the white skin
planted in the black mans arm turned black.
then, he says, scientific men would have
reason to argue that black was the original
color OF mankind. As it turned out, however,
DR.. Eye declares that he has demonstrated be-
yond question that white was mans primeval
color.
The experiments were begun on February 20
end have been conducted with great care. On
that date DR.. Eye removed with knife as
sharp as razor surface of skin l. = inches
long and half an inch wide from the arm
of a healthy colored man, James Lewis of 1927
Cotton street. aged thirty-ive, and inserted in
its place strips of white skin of equal size
taken from his own LEFT forearm. The skin
taken from the coiored man was tranSplanted
at once to the leg of Joel Saul, a white man,
suffering from an old wound. Bardases were
applied to Lewis arm and to Saurs leg. In the
course of a week the bandages were temporarily
removed and the spots inspected. 1t was noted
that the white skin on the black mans arm
appeared winter than before, though possibly
by reason Of contrast, but indicating. however
that the white skin would retain its color
something which DR.. Eye AYERS has never been
demonstrated before in science or surgery.
The bandags was duly replaced and q week
later progress was again noted. The white skin
was still white, and has remained so since,
although the cells Of the white and black cuti-
Gle seem to be somewhat differently constructed.
In the case of Mr.. Saul, the black skin JIM
planted in his leg was found to be turning
white and spreading over the diseased tissue
whore there had been no skin at all. Two
weeks later, or three weeks after transplanting,
the piece Of black skin was found to have be-
come entirely white. Further experiments
were conducted in the same line with SAUL and
additional stripes of black skin inserted in his
wound. These particles of skin have also knit
with the surrounding white akin and have
changed in color from black to white.
DR.. Eye is preparing to publish his expert
ments. He believes his discoveries may prove
valuable hereafter to ethnologists and the
medical profession.

PRoTEsrANrIsM IN JAPAN.
Notifications Made In the Presbyterian Doc
trine to Meet Progressive Demands.

uine to Meet Progressive Demands.
In an official report to the Department of
State, Mr.. Swift. the American Minister to
Japan. now deceased. stated that after long de-
liberation the native Presbyterian church in
that country has seen 1T TO recast the time-tried
doctrines Of the Presbyterian church, and even
to make additions to the sacred Apostolic
Creed.
The minister said that the Presbyterian
church, like most Of the other Protestant
Christian denominations established by mis-
sionaries, has achieved such progress in Japan,
and the native membership has become 30
numerous and influential, a. to justify il in
controlling tho local organization and govern
ment OF the church, and this it has proceeded
to do. This step carried with it definition Of
the faith itself.
tendency to conciliats rather than an
tagonizs this tendency induced the missionary
members OF the synod to assent to the recent
modification in the canons of belief A COM
mittes was appointed and in its report recon-
mended the substitution Of the twenty-fourth
article offaith ofthoEnglish Presbyterian church
Tor those OF bort and Heidelberg then in force.
The change failed to meet the demands of the
progressive Japanese and the report was re-
jected- After rejecting these notifications the
synod, which met last November prepared and
adopted standard of faith expressive Of strict
japanese Christian opinion.
An addition was made to the Apostlss'
Creed by the insertion OF Q clause in the fol-
lowing words as a preamablo to the creed
itself:
The Lord Jesus Christ, whom we Worship
as God, the only begotten son Of God, for us
men and Tor our salvation was made man and
suffered. He offered up perfect sacrifice for
Sin and all wto are one with Him by faith are
rardoned and accounted righteous and faith
I'm him, working by love, pur,.ies the hoart.
The Holy Ghost, who, with the Father mad
the Son, is worshped and elorified. reveals
Jesus Christ to the soul, and without his grace,
man being dead in sin, cannot enter the king
dom Of God. By Him the prophets and apos-
ties and holy men of old were inspired, ard He,
Speaking III the Scriptures Of the OLD and New
Iestaments, ID the supreme and infallible Judge
IN ali things pertaining unto faith and living.
From these Holy Scriptures the ancient church
OF Christ drew its confession, and we. holding
the faith once delivered to the saints. join in
that confession with praise and thanksgiving.
Minister Swift says that to these changes in
the creed the American ana European members
of the synod assented. and the new creed WIS
formulated snd promulgated. He further says
1t IL "a frequent and common claim made by that
NAIVE Christian converts that the spirit and
meaning Of Christianity in its broader and
more universal scope has never been properly
comprehenGed among western nations and
that the faith needed to be transported to
Japan FOR final development and perfec ton.
Consequently he apprehends that this change
will be followed by ether and more radical
changes.
