Panic at Independenes Han.

Philadelphia Times.
The crowd that surged around Independence
Hall NJ midnight was the most disOrderly in
tie local history Of New Years Ewes. Chest
nut street from Fifth 20 Sixth, was an impas-
sable mass Of struggling men and boys, women
and girls. the iHieTseetlug streets themselves,
for a square on either side, being similarly
blocked.
The authorities had been thoughtful enough
to station p or 30 Of the biggest and strong
est police reserves at this point, and il was Ow-
ing TO this pTecaution alone that serious panic
was ayerled.
When the bell in the lofty steepie struck the
initial note Of the new year strange freak
seemed 10 take possession Of the crowd.
A humber Of men and boys drew revOlvers
from their pockets and began firing wildly
into the air. Some were too drunk 10 be care
ful. and several bullets whistled through hats
and bOuuets. Women shrieked and tainted
and were carried ont Of the hurrying, tramp
ling crowd by stalwart policemen.
The reserves charged right aud left, and
didn't hesitate to knock down and collar every
man Furnishing q gun. Far while things
looked serious, for half the crowd was raging
mob Of drunken men and boys.
The policemen drew their blacl.jacxs in some
cases before they could intimidate their pris-
oners, and when il was all over astonishment
was expressed on all sides that no fatalities had
occurred.
Not one Of the Reserve Corps was without a
prisoner or a captured revolver. aud the cells at
the City Hall were crowded with these injudi-
eious ce!ebrators.

EniIreIY Dead.
Ism Dienan. |


While the gently falling rain was doing the
best business that could be done for San Diego
County today group Of Old-timers gathered
in an mp town office and fell TO telling old-time
stories. One of the stories told was in the
form Of a joke on Julian, as Julian was in the
old times Of course.
An old miner named Tim was found dead in
his cabin one morning, said the story-tsler.
There appeared to he a lingering idea that
something official ought TO be done, but nobody
knew exactly what until stranger in camp
said an inquest ought TO be held to determine
whether the man was dead or not.
/" Bot how shall we find that out? " asked the
Justice Of the Peace, whose position forced him
10 the front.
"Why, by holding regular inquiry" was
the answer.
"All right" said the Justice. "We'll hold a
regular inquiry. Bring in the body"
The body was brought in and the court was
called 10 order. When everybody was quiet
the Justice arose with commeudable dignity,
walked over to the side Of the deceased, and,
leaning down. shouted in the dead mans ear
Say, Tim, come take a drink"
OF course there was no answer
The inquiry was repeated three times.
Then the Justice returned 10 his bench 20
make his announcement
I'VE find that Tim is dead" he said. ANY
man in Julian that won't get up and take a
drink when he's asked to ia dead. This in

Peaencks for Dinner.

What roast swan is to roast goose, such il
roast peacock to roast turkey. Many owners
of country houses who keep peac0cks, and LET
them run wild and nest in their woods aud
strawberries, take little trouble either to fatten
or cook the pea-chicks. If they did, they
would perhaps take more pains 10 rear these
birds for the table. The meat Is very white
and of exceedingly fine and close grain, and
has the true game flavor, with none of the
stringiness Of the common turkey. The Amer.
lean wild turkey is, however, an even tnei
bird for the table than the peacock. Those
which appear in the poulterers' shops Of Lon
don generally arrive in such bad condition
from careless packing and refrigeraiing thai
they are inferior to the domestic bird. but
when allowed to run wild and nest in English
woods, as is done on some estates, on its merits
and apart from any tricks of cookery, il ID
perhaps the very best land bird that is avail
able for food. The game favor is not too pro-
nounced, but gives a character to the whole
which is altogether absent in the tame black
turkeys of the farmyard.

The Elephants Of King Alexander.


Alexander was proud Of the huge elephants
Of his court and fond Of showing their in telli-
gence; and the trainer who succeeded in max
ing the elephant accomplish the most wonder
full deeds was highly hOnored.
On one occasion some elephants were being
shown 10 an eminent General, when the latter
remarked that evidently they could perform
any service that a man could. They might
even bridge a stream" he added.
No sooner were the words uttered than a
signal was given and the herd was marched
into a stream that rushed by the camp.
The well trained animals waded into the
water. which was four or five feet deep and
arranged themselves side by side, some head
ing upstream and others down. Men now
ran forward with Dlanks which were placed
against pads upon the backs Of the animals,
while others were continued from back to back,
and in a remarkably short space of time an ele-
plant bridge was ready, over which the sol
dier5 passed, while the huge animals trumpeted
and sent streams Of water whirliBg into the
air.
On another occasion one Of the Generals oil
the army, who had displayed especial bravery,
was ordered before the Chief, who publicly
thanked him.
Even my elephants" said one Of the sls-
phantarehs, can distinguish the hero"
At this the crowd fell back, and gOrgeously
ornamental elephant approached, bearing in its
trunk a wreath Of Oak-leaves. Walking up to
the hero Of the hour, it dropped upon its knees,
placed the wreath upon the officers head, and
then retired amid the shouts Of the admiring
soldiers.
Undoubtedly the driver who sat upon the
animals head had much TO do with this per-
formance, but we must admit that the elephant
exhibited wonderful intelligence in so exactly
carrying out orders.
