A RAT IN AN ELEPHANTS TRUNK
The reason for the strange acting of
Jess, the circus elephant which went
on a rampage in San Francisco early
Saturday morning, and after breaking
her fastenings and nearly wrecking the
circus, roamed through the streets of
that city, has been discovered. Jess
has always been perfectly docile; and
could be handled by any of the circus
people. While she was being pursued
through the streets that morning
by her keepers they noticed that
the animal acted as if ffenzied
by fright. Finally, when she al
lowed them to come near, one of the
keepers noticed something prot.udin ,
from the end of her trunk. He pulled
it out and found that it was live rat.
The elephant had been lying on the
ground asleep, with her trunk stretch.
ed in front of her, and it is supposed
the rat ran up her trunk. The ele-
phant contracted the muscles Of her
trunk and held the rat fast. When
the rat had been removed the elephant
gave signs of great satisfaction, and
made no further resistance to being led
back to the circus tent.

A ToRPEDo's TERRIFIC WORK.

A TORPEDO'S TERRIFIC WORK.
In press and about to- issue in the
course of a week is the volume annual
ly compiled by the Bureau of Naval In
telligence, entitled "Notes on the Years
Naval Progress" This year it is of par
ticuiar interest, in view of its including
an article on the revolt in Brazil. con-
tributed by Lieut.. c. c. Rogers, and
giving an account of the sinking of the
famous ironclad Aquidaban, details Of
which have not before been made
known in this country.
1t seems that after DeGama's sur
render at Rio the government sent a
considerable squadron in pursuit of the
Aquidaban. The vessel was discover
ed at anchor in the northern entrance
of Santa Catharina strait, about nil ;
from Fort Santa Cruz. Vessels of the
government squadron began vigorous
fire on the fort, and meanwhile the
topedo boats Sampiao, Silvado, Ivo and
Alfonso steamed along the western
shore
This was on the night of April 16. A
heavy rain was falling and the COM
mander OF the Sampiao reported it so
dark that he was less than 200 yards
from the Aquidaban when he discovered
her. The crew of the latter were ex-
pectipg a small steamer from Destorro
that night, and, mistaking the Sampiao
for her, did not fire at once.
The Sanpiao, turning under the stern
of the Aquidaban, steamed slowly along
the port side, probably not more than
20 yards from her. In this remarkable
position, however, it was not until the
Sampaio was nearly past the battleship
that the starboard after torpedo was
fired. 1t struck with terrific effect about
20 feet abaft the mizzen mast of the
Aquidaban, lifting the bow considerably
out of the water.
Before the first torpedo was launched
the Aquidaban opened fire on the Sam
piao and her consorts. The Sampiao
was hit 35 times in the upper works
and three in the hull by, Nordenfedt
steel projectiles. The torpedo fired was
of the Schwartzkoff type, containing %
pounds of gun cotton.
The attack on the Aquidaban was not
renewed until next day, when it was
discovered that she had been abandon
ed by her crew, who escaped to the
mainland. The big battleship, drawing
20 feet aft, was found in "a feet of water
with terrible hole in her. She was
noated and taken to Rio under her own
steam.

DELICATE OPERATION ON A BRAIN
A remarkable operation on a mans
brain at St. GATHERINGS Hospital, Will
liamsburg, n. Y, is greatly interesting
the medical profession. The skull of
Frank Schum was badly shattered by
murderous blow from manure fork
in Lewis Woderglass's hands. The man
was taken to the hospital unconscious
and it was at once seen that only heroic
measures would save his life. The
tines had penetrated the tissues of the
brain, in which also pieces of splintered
bone and bits of the victims felt hat
had been imbedded.
DR.. Peter Hughes had charge of the
operation, assisted by the entire medi-
cal staff. The trephining was success
fully accomplished. All the extraneous
substance had to be removed with the
greatest care, while the medical men
watched every move with breathless
interest. Schum rallied and seemed to
be notably improved in condition. 1t
is thought that he has good chances Of
recovery.

The only contingency in the ac-
tion at Dallas is to reconcile the
utterances of Culberson on the
stump with the declarations OF the
platform on silver. He will have
to straddle as usual.
The Democrats OF Texas have
at last come to the conclusion that
the two-third rule is a delusion
and a snare, trotted out for the eff.
fete minority to conjure- with at
the expense OF the majority.
The House has hustled its tariff
business to close, but there is no
indication whatever that the Sem
ate will acquiesce in the acts of the
lower chamber. The sugar trust
is leading the dance.
If the Legislature that is to be
elected this fall will only work up
to the civilized measure of the
Dallas declaration on convict labor
it will deserve honorable mention
for that much at least.
The inglorious end of an inglori-
Gus Congress is gloriously near.
Let it end as suddenly as it may,
it will not outrun the earnest de-
sire Of the country to see the last
of it.

SATURDAY, AUGUST IS, 1894.

Few men of Charles CulbersOn's
age in this country have had a
more conspicuous honor paid them
than he has just received at the
hands of that immense assemblage
at Dallas. 1t is such a tribute as
he may recall with pride and
graduation to the end of his life.
It were as unjust as it would be tun-
generous to attempt to detract
from the worth of such a recogni-
ton. 1t was an honor strongly
contested for by strong men and
the victory won over them was a
signal one. 1t is no small thing to
be able to grapple convention to
ones self with hoops Of steel as
CulbersOn has done, and the man
ner of the doing stamps him today
as the most popular man of the
state Democracy.

Grover needs the retirement and
quiet and soothing influences of
woods and waters to enable him to
meet the situation and decide upon
his course as to his treatment of
the tariff bill that the House and
Senate have placed in his hands.
How to bless what he has already
damned, command into being what
he has already cursed as noXious,
create into law what he has de-
nOunced as destructive, is the
problem before him. This would
be easy of solution were it not that
if he leave undone that which in
its doing damns himself, he de.
stroys in that non-doing all that
for which himself and his party
were elected two years since. Well
may he pray to be delivered from
his friends. Or, if these be friends
then to be saved from falling into
the hands of his enemies.

Culberson got his two.thirds to a
hair. Anything less and he would
have fallen short.
Hogg acknowledged to eating
crow, but denies that there is any
buzZard in his menu.
Growers skedaddle for Gray
Gables has let loose no end Of
Washington gable.
The veto of Cleveland by the
Senate will discount any veto of
the Senate that Grover can give.
There is but one party to which
any man can owe political alleg-
lance at the same time.
He that bolts and runs away
may live to veto smother day. So
Grover goes to Gables Gray.
Cleveland has succeeded in put
