AN INTELLIGENT ELEPHANT.
He Could Count Up to Twenty and Would
Not BE Cheated.

He Could Count Up to Twenty and Would
Not BE Cheated.
Arthur Clay sends to the London Spec
tator the following instance of the sagacity
of the elephant: 1t was told me, he says, by
Mr.. Quay. at the time a non-tommiSsioned
officer of the First Battalion Of the Sixtieth
Rifles, but now one of her Majesty's yeo-
men of the guard. In 1853 his regiment was
marching from Peshawur to Kopuvie, and
was accompanied by train of elephants.
1t was the duty of the mahout in charge of
each elephant to prepare twenty ehupattieS,
or fiat cakes made of coarse flour, for his
charge. When the twenty chupatties were
ready they were placed before the ele-
phant, who, during the process of counting,
never attempted to touch one of them until
the full number was completed. On the 0c-
casion related by Mr.. Quay one OF the eIe-
plants had seized the opportunity of his
mahouIs attention being attracted for mo-
ment to steal and swallow one OF tue chu-
patties. When the mahOut, having finished
the preparation, began to count them out he
of course discovered the theft and presented
his charge with nineteen in place of the
usual number. The elephant instantly APP
pTeciated the fact of there being one less
than he had right to expect and refused to
touch them, expressing his indignation by
loud trumpetingS. This brought the con-
ductor of the elephant line with whom Mr.
Quay had been III conversation to the scene
Having heard the explanation of the ma
hout the conductor decided that he was in
fault for not keeping better lookout and
ordered him to provide the twentieth cake
at his own cost When this was prepared
and added to the pile the elephant at once
accepted and ate them.

Endorsing as a worthy object the benefit
for the family of Colonel McCaull who was
formerly ON the top wave as an American
manager. the New Y rk Truth says there is
no sadder story in theatrical life than that
which deals with the recent years of the un-
fortunate Colonel His complete break
down was as unlocked for five years ago as
a blizzard in August No man in theatrical
life had more sturdy physique and in
domitable spirit than the Colonel, and his
m entail strength was on par with bis spirits
and energy. There is nothing left of this
now except the name Of an organization
which he built up by years of hard fighting
when il required something more than a
musical farce-cOmedy and one good come
dian to make comic opera success. Some
thing like twenty-five years ago McCaull
owned fine farm in the garden spot of the
Roanoke alley, in Virginia, and was mar
ried to a very charming and highly Guilt
waited lady of Richmond. He was also the
owner of 4 wel-conducted weekly news
paper and had stable of fine horses.
After serving term in the Virginia Legis-
lature he began the practice of law and
went to Baltimore. Shortly afterward he
came to New York Oh legal business and
launched out as manager OF comic opera.
His experience has covered much larger
field than that Of most men OF his age, for
he is not much over 80. To his varied career
must be ADDED the peTils of the field and
camp. To-day he is, physically, a complete
wreck.

How u Staid Old Quaker Was Induced to
Go and See Booth.
De Wolff Hopper in his younger days was
passionately fond of the theater, says the
New York Sun, but owing to the religious
scruples of his Quaker father and the
Quaker costume he wore, he was somewhat
handicapped in the fulfilment of his desires.
But it appears that the family butler wore
citizens clothes, and also that he was about
the same build as De Wolff. Accordingly.
between them they c0ncocted a little scheme
whereby De Wolff donned the buffers
clothes and the butler donned De VOLTS.
Things went swmmingly with young Hop
per until one fatal night one of his fathers
acquaintance happened to spy him at the
theater and remarked in casual way to the
old gentleman that he had seen his son at
the play.
The father called the unfortunate youth
into his study and said: " Son, hast thee
been to the playhouSe?"
" Yea, father"

In Alabama" will be bright attraction at
the Baldwin Theater in the near future.
The play is without climax in any of its
acts and devoid Of ultra-dramatic situations,
but at the same time il is one wherein every
liue and every action help to tell the story,
which may be condensed by saying that the
scene is laid in the State from which the
play takes its name. Colonel Preston mt.
Stoddart) is an old SOutheTner, whose only
son. West Pointer, has adopted the Union
cause at the breaking out of the war and is
now mourned as dead. Colonel Davenport,
who is in reality Preston son Harry, comes
to Alabama to see about putting through
railroad. With him comes Mr. Armstrong,
his assistant, who falls in love with old
Preston's granddaughter, the child of the
'lOng lost" Harry Preston. Armstrong
and Carey Preston arrange an el0pement,
which does not take place Mrs. Page, an
aunt Of Carey Preston, has piece of prop
erty, which is advancing in value owing
Co the railroad project, and it is claimed by
her brotheT-in-law, who charges that Mrs.
Page was never married to her alleged hus-
band and that their son is illegitmate. This
gives rise to a lawsuit and duel, neither OF
which take place. Armstrong marrieS Carey {;

Getting IT Into Shane.


The name of the opera that Professor D.
Romandy, now musical director of the
Opera House and Broadway Orchestra in
the city of Helena, Mont, has in hand for
the purpose of completing is "Ph9bus."
He commenced it last year while he was
leading the Orpheum Orchestra in this city,
but it was suspended during the winter be-
cause the librettsts. Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Im haus of San Francisco, were not quite
ready. 1t is comic opera, and the music
Is said to be bright and catchy. The plot is
strictly American, and the scene is laid in
the time Of the American revolution. The
principal characters are Ph96us French
officer in the American army, and daugh-
ter of one of the foremost American families
Of the time. PhRbuS and the French officer
are in love with the heroine of the play and
the rivalry which naturally follows furnishes
materiaIfOT very interesting story. The first
scene is in a convent wherein the fair lady
is being educated. EiOpementS follow, and
in the end the Frenchman wins the hand
and heart of the beautiful girl, and his rival,
PhWbus, enters q monastery. An old priest
connected with the convent referred TO be-
comes Interested IN the riyalries of the
young men aud assists PbGOus to elOpe
with his lady love after throwing the
Frenehman off his guard by very clever
Tuse. The trick does not long avail, how
ever, as the young French officer returns
from the battle fields near the close of the
war covered with glory, and the fair lady
Immediately acknowledges her love for him.
Professor ROmandy expects to complete
his opera in about two months, and to pro-
duce il this fall in New York City.

Florence on Stage Morality.

In a recent talk Mr.. William J. Florence,
comedian, was moved to give utterance to
the following sentiments: 81 have about
decided" said he, ito lecture you on the
morals Of the stage. We of the stage hear
SO much in criticism of the prevalent tone Of
dramatic art that it is rather wholesome to
have an opportunity TO talk back" He
said that all people recognized the stage as
power for good or evil. In his opinion the
responsibility for any condition of stage
morals rested with the public, which set its
mark of approval or diSapproval upon each
production. There should be a general de-
termination to diSc0untenance anything upon
a stage which puts low estimate upon
wOman's purity and mans honor. The
public can be entertained and pleased with
out resorting to even a sem6lance of i'm
morality. Such sentiments so nicely ex-
pressed must be taken TO do credit to the
comedians head and heart, but
