RAISING TUSKERS.
A NAN WHO PROPOSES TO START
AN ELEPHANT FARM.
Mr.. Newbuary and His Novel Plan-Ele-
plants as Cab Animals and Orange
Pickers.

California proposes to "bear" the Afri-
can market, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. She now has broken in upon the
the ostrich feather trade, and one OF her
CITIZENSHIP. Newbuary-proposes to
establish can elephant farm" Mr..
Newbuary, in an interview, thinks great
practical uses could be found for the
elephant. He thinks as an article OF
food he is better than the horse. All
African explorers speak highly of eie-
plant steak. The full-grown elephant
weighs about 1000 pounds, and Mr..
Newbuary estimates that he can count
on some 5000 pounds of first-class meat
from each animal. In twenty-four
wears he expects to see elephant meat
for sale in all markets. Steaks as big
as bed mattresses will hang up on all
sides, and French elephant chops with
handles on them six feet long will lie
on the counters. Elephant hides, he
thinks, will be found valuable for
leather, slightly thick, perhaps, but it
can be split. Then there is the ivory,
always in good demand. The clip of
wool from an elephant will, OF course,
he admits, be small, but there were
formerly woolly animals OF the elephant
kind, and he does not see why careful
breeding may not revive the species.
Fine all Californian elephant wool cloth
ing he considers a possibility OF the fu-
ture.
But it is not alone in these ways that
Mr.. Newbuary expects to be able to
teach California to profit from the ele-
plant. 1t is powerful and intelligent
animal, and as beast OF burden will be
as successful in California as in India
1t can be readily broken to harness and
can draw enormous loads. Nor does he
despair altogether of the elephant as a
driving animal. He thinks it not un-
likely that the California trotting ele-
plant may be evolved as the American
trotting horse has been. Cabmen may
vet call out: "Keb, sir kebl Nice
closed keb and rapid elepbantW Of
course, as a saddle beast the elephant
has already proved its superiority in the
orient. Its gait, however, at present, is
irregular, bat Mr.. Newbuary sees no
reason why it may not be taught grace
full canter and swinging gallon. But
the most practical place where the
elephant can be put to imme-
diate usefulness Mr.. Newbuary con-
siders to be in the orange groves. "In
picking oranges" says Mr.. Newbuary,
1.-THE trained elephant would be great
success. He would come as boon to
orange growers. He could readily reach
all over the trees with his trunk and
carefully pick the fruit and place it in
bag hung around his neck, or in bas-
ket tied on his back. He could pick
more oranges than ten men, and would
never strike for higher wages or firt
with the hired girl. If 1 were asked to
name in three words the hope of Cali
fornia for the future, should answer :
'Elephants, elephants, elephants.'"

.LAGBANDR, Ore, Oct. 9.-News has
Just reached here of a daring robbery
which was perpetrated upon the Ma
tional bank, of Enterprise, in Wallowa
county, Wednesday afternoon.
Cashier Holmes was in the bank
alone, when man entered and asked
how much money John Smith, of Port
land, had on deposit. Upon the cashiers
saying that no such man had any de-
post there, the visitor drew a pistol,
and, covering the cashier, said: "You're
a liar ~
At this juncture two confederates came
up on horseback. One Of them, sitting
on his horse with pistol in each hand,
warned the people back. The other
entered the bank and poured into sack
all the money on the counter, about
$500.
The three men then escaped to the
mountains in the direction of Cornuco-
pia. A posse is in hot pursuit. but as
the country is sparsely settled, their
capture is doubtful.
Four thousand dollars in the till,
under the counter, was not found by the
robbers.

TOO MUCH SCIENCE
And not Enough Common Sense Used
in Fur Seal Treatment.

And not Enough Common Sense Used
in Fur Seal Treatment.
New York, Oct. 9.-"There has been
been too much science and not enough
common sense in the treatment of the
subject of seal life in Boring sea-" The
speaker, according to a Washington
special printed today, was Special Agent
Williams Of the treasury department,
who was sent to Alaskan waters last
spring to superintend the killing of seals
on the Pribyloff islands. The correspon-
dent had been speaking with him about
the report made by Prof. Elliott, of the
the Smithsonian institution. whereupon
he contended that the method of killing
seals on land is more destructive than
deep sea poaching. ''There is no trouble
about killing on land" Williams went
on. cit is deep sea pelagic sealing, as
it is called, that is SO rapidly decimating
the animals"
Williams did not think the price Of
seal skins had advanced within the last
few days, or that there was scarcity of
skins.
With regard to the methods necessary
to prevent poaching, the inspector said /:
ssTt can only be prevented by some sort
of an international agreement, that will
permit us to seize not only any vessel
found sealing in Boring sea. but any
vessel having skins on board. Armed
with these instructions few vessels
could patrol those waters successfully.

The Wrecker of Two Banks In a Difficult
Situation.
CLEARFIELD, Pa, Oct. 9.-The pre-
liminary hearing of President Dill, of
the defunct banking institutions of
Clearfeld and Houtzdale, took place
this afternoon. Bookkeeper Blum
recognized an entry in the journal July
18th, as being in Dill's handwriting.
This entry was an "extra" to the credit
of Dill, amounting to $12.664, of whic h
one item was for $4,000 marked
philadelphia exchange" The discount
clerk of the Chestnut-street National
Bank of Philadelphia, created a sensa-
ton by stating that Dill had no credit
there of $4,000 on July 14th, or any
where near that time. The bank exam
liner then pronounced the entry false.
Pending further examination, the de-
tense asked for time, and the hearing
was continued until next Friday, Dill
being bound over in $1,000. Another
warrant was then served, charging Dill
with embezzling $4,000 from the First
National Bank of Clear6eld, and he was
required to give an additional bond of
$50. 900.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ct is expected
that there will be postponement of all
the very important cases before the su-
preme court which are expected to
come up at the beginning OF the Octo-
Der term, which opened Monday. The
reason given for this is that there will
be at least two OF the justices absent,
and possibly three. Justice Gray, who
has been i'll with typhoid fever, will not
be able to attend, and the chief justice
is expected to remain away on account
of the serious illness of his daughter, in
Chicago, whose condition is critical.
