seen that the five-story brick block owned
by b. w. Currier could with difficulty be

CAPTURING WILD ELEPHANTS.
The Tame Ones Used to Entrap the Animal
and Hunger Subdues Them.

The Tame Ones Used to Entrap the Animals
and Hunger Subdues Them.
In the island of Ceylon the people are
very fond.of elephant hunting. They be-
gin by clearing an open space near forest,
part of which is strongly fenced in with
trunks of trees, with open places for doors.
This is called a corral. When SO much of
the work is done the natives get behind and
around the elephants with blazing torches,
shaking spears and rattling all kinds OF
noisy instruments in order to frighten the
huge animals while all the time driving
them toward the open doors of the corral.
AT last with rush the great herd enter, the
entrances are barred, and the poor giants of
the woods find themselves hopelessly i'm
prisoned.
An elephants rage is dreadful to witness,
but the ingenuity of man has found way
of subduing it. One by one each prisoner
is freed again, and tame elephants, remark
able for their sagacity, come up to him,
stroke him with their trunks and otherwise
cajole him until they lead him on to good,
strong tree. The natives creep up behind,
and in minute rope with a running knot
is round the elephant leg and made fast to
tree. All the time this is going on the
tame elephants are humoring their deluded
victim, but as soon as he is secured they go
away and leave him, which is shabby
trick. Then the men bring him nice cocoa
nuts and leaves to eat, which, of course, he
refuses, as he is again in a great passion and
struggling to be free. But hunger subdues
even the iercest, and at last his wild roar
ing ceases to resound through the woods
and he is forced to eat From that time
the tanning process is comparatively easy;
again and again he is fed, as he requires it,
by a kind hand; and the elephant, suscepti-
BILE to kindness, becomes at last docile
servant of man.

AN ODD LITTLE DEATH.TRAP.
One Runs Great Risk When He Swallows
Seeds With His Fruit

One Runs Great Risk When He Swallows
Seeds With His Fruit.
New York SUM-
The vermiform appendix is lined with q
mucous membrane, but it differs from the
rest of the intestinal canal in having only q
few very feeble muscles. 1t is therefore
unable to eject anything that may enter it.
Say that an orange or cherry seed is passing
through the system when this canal is con-
stipated. 1t may be pushed into this cul-
de-sac, to remain there and never leave
until the surgeons knife reaches it.
And, staying there, it may do no harm.
A sac may be formed about it, and it may
even do good in preventing anything else
from passing up into the death-trap. But,
again, it may cause death. For an infam-
nation may set up about it, and communi-
cate to the cacum and to all the other ad-
jacent parts, or it may set to work itself out
with the aid of this liberation, and may
penetrate the wall of the appendix and pro-
duce peritonitis and death. To this form of
danger boys between 10 and 20 years seem
to be the most liable In younger boys or
in men and in all females the danger is not
so great because of the different formations
of the appendix.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, July 17.-Forty Republicans
broke bread together tonight at the Ori-
entail Hotel, Manhattan Beach, and were
glad to pay $40 each for the privi-
lege. 1t was complimentary dinner
to General j. S. Clarkson, of
Iowa, President of the National League of
Republican Clubs, who has just returned
from Europe. There were not a few we'll
known Republicans of this city, however,
who thought that sea air would disagree
with them or who had other engagements.
For instance, Senator Warner Miller had a
pressing engagement at Herkimer. Then
there was Collector Erhardt. He was very
sorry, but he had another engagement. So
had Colonel Strong and Colonel Cruger
Possibly the fact that ex-senator Platt
was to preside at the dinner made some of
these gentlemen remember their old en-
gagements. Mr.. Clarkson made a speech
giving his impressions. Some of the other
speakers were Major Bundy, General
O'Beirne and Nat Mckay. While General
Clarkson was speaking, Russell Harrison
and Stephen B. Elkins walked down to the
Manhattan Hotel to get breath of air.

wholesale firms of Chicago its agent for the
sale Of its product; it furnishes a price list
by which the agent is required to sell all
goods, and it requires the agent to
guarantee all payment for all goods
sold. While this may prove sat1s-
factory enough to the manufacturers,
it is far from being satisfactory to the
wholesalers. Its effect is to make each one
of them a violator of one or more provisions
of the act and under it's terms they cannot
force payment in the courts for any goods
sold. The agency plan has been adopted by
all the large tobacco houses of Louisville
and st. Louis.
AT a meeting of wholesalers held yester-
day it was decided to have nothing more to
do with the contract system by which
the trusts dictated the prices at
which goods were to be sold. The agency
plan was discussed at great length, and the
sentiment of all concerned was that 1t was
best to unite in opposition to all schemes
by which it is sought to evade the new law.
The Fairbanks soap concern stands by lts
agreement with other members OF the soap
combine. Its legal advisers take the posi-
tion that the antitrust act is unconst1tu-
tional and cannot be enforced.
The paper manufacturers, too, seem to
have no fear of the legislative thunder
bolt, for they are in secret session at the
Auditorium Hotel for the purpose of devils
ing plan by which the present demoral1za-
tion in prices, which is due to reckless
competition, can be overcome.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM. TO THE DIsPATcH.l
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE trusts which
deal in spice, starch, soap, tobacco and other
articles handled by the wholesale grocers
are not yet ready to surrender to the anti
trust law which was passed by the last
Legislature.
The Woolser Spice Company, of Toledo,
one OF the largest importers Of coffee, being
second only to the Arbuckles, of Pittsburg
and New York, has sent circular to its
customers, the wholesale grocers of Chicago,
announcing that its attorneys are devising a
new scheme by which its product is to be
distributed as heretofore in the State of
Illinois
The tobacco men have already prepared
their scheme to evade the law. The Liggett
Myers Tobacco Company, of st. Louis,
leading member of the Tobacco Trust, in a
circular proposes to appoint each of the
