HUMANE SOCIETY.
The Elephants OF an Indian Prince.

IlS 6t0pt0IIlo VI all
We saw one beautiful elephant
who was born in the princes. prov
ince, and had never seen a Jungle,
but had grown UP in the pasture
and stable like any other cow.
When she came to see us her own
little calf paced by her side.
The calf was the little counter
part of the COW, and very pretty
creature, whom one would like for
pet. She wore draperies and
frills and gold lace Ike her mother
with earrings which nearly reach
ed the ground, and gold bangles.
She walked jauntily along "toeing
out,' stitching her knees, and hold
ing her chin down in the most ap.
proved manner, When we offered
her bit of sponge cake, she sided
nearer, like pet lamb, lifted the lit
tie finger at the end Of her trunk,
and examined the cake daintily be-
fore taking it; and, apparently new
er having seen any like 1t before
she turned toward her mother with
a questioning look. $50
The mother elephant seemed puz-
zled, She walked over towards US
with an expression of hesitating,
anxious curiosity in her small,
knowing eyes, as one may see any
do. She held out her trunk for the
cake, and the little one dntifully
gave it to her, whereupon the moth
er turned it over carefully, then
held it up and locked at US as II for
an explanation. We amotioned to-
ward the little one, to whom she
promptly returned it, and then
looked on contentedly while the
calf enjoyed the tifbit. This indIl-
gence on r,part seemed to, Gain
the mother elephants confidence
for she began showing off her off
spring with unmistakable .prjde
She pushed the little one toWald us,
Iand turned it round and ;tQpnd
with her great trunk 40
When the calf demurred she
coaXed and caressed her. The COW
was evidently vain Of the ealfs fin
cry, and encouraged that spoiled
elephantling to f1aunt her earrings,
She drew our attention to the big,
little, fat legs Of the beauty, and
finally wound her trunk affection
ately round the small neck, lifted
the little head, and showed us the
beginning of her baby's first tusks.
We thought this gentleness and
intelligence were due to training,
as neither of these creatures had
ever known the wild life of the
jungle; but we had a chance later
to learn that this was not altOgeth.

THAT lone COAL CONTRACT.
A Suit to Compel Mayor Comstock
to Sign His Name.
The 5000 Rebate That Never Came is
the Cause of it AIl-Mandamus
Proceedings.

The long-standing squabble between
Mayor Comstock and the lone Coal Com
pany is to be settled in the Superior
Court of this county.
Attorney Jud. c. Brusie walked into
the County Clerks Office yesterday and
filed, on behalf of the coal company,
papers in suit to compel the Mayor to
sign warrant for the company's money
due for supplying coal to the Water
Works.
The story Of the trouble between the
Mayor and the coal company is probably
familiar to many, but there can be no
harm in republishing it.
In the month of May of last year con-
tract for furnishing coal to the Water
Works for the year was let to the lone
Company for Sl3,50O After the contrac ;
had been let Mayor Comstock refused to
ratify the contract, declaring that an
agent of the coal company had promised
him that be would make a rebate of 5000
TO the city in the event of his company
securing the contract.
Ever since then the Mayor has been
striving to get that 5000, but SO far has
been unsuccessful. The other two Trus-
tees invariably refused to vote with him
against paying the coal company's bills,
claiming that the Mayor had no right to
make private contracts and agreements
outside of the board.
The Mayor kicked right along, but
all in vain. The coal company furnished
the coal and got Its money at regular
intervals.
So it has been going along until at re-
cent meeting of the Trustees a bill was
presented by the company for the bal
ance due. Mayor Comstock claimed that
the 5000 should be deducted, but the Aud
itor was ordered to draw the warrant for
the full amount, on the votes of Nc
Laughlin and Conklin.
Mayor Comstock was still game, how
ever, and when the Auditor prepared the
warrant the wrothy Mayor refused abso-
iutely to sign. This was unlocked for,
and the coal company was at q loss what
10 do.
But the corporation soon caught it's sec
ond wind, SO to speak, and came back at
the Mayor, with the suit filed yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, as Bill Hall, the
dark-skinned pugilist, was riding up X
street on a street-car, dressed in his best
suit of clothes, including plug hat,
several ''smart Alecks' at Third and X
streets commenced guying and insulting
him.
Bill is goodnatured fellow and stood
the taunts braveIy until one fellow
shouted to the driver of the car, What
do you let that niger ride for?''
At that Bill quit riding He leaped off
the car and made a break for the saloon.
about the door of which his tormentors
had gathered.
Then there was scattering. Some
few up the street, some down the street
and others sought refuge in the saloon as
visions OF Hall's big fists flying from the
shoulder flashed upon them.
Hall made a straight shoot for the
saloon, but he was handicapped by his
hat, which collided with the door-jam.
He thought someone had hit him with
a brick bat, and while he looked to see
from whence the missile had come the
objects of his wrath effected their escape.
Hall Strengthened out his tile and
meandered off toward l. street.
