"Divide Your PITY

Editor Morning News: Within a stones
throw of each other live the wives OF
Messrs. Keenan, and Ponder. each strick
en- with sorrow and misery by the recent
sad event which occurred in our mids-.
The sympathies of our generous citizens
seem to have been enlisted in behalf Of
Mrs. Keenan, and contributions are being
raised for her benefit. This is as It
should be; but it seems to me that Mrs.
Ponder stands almost or quite in the same
position, She too, being deprived Of the
husband whose salary was the only e'io-
port OF his family. Is It right or just that
all the mercy and sympathy should be
bestowed upon only one of these wives
In my humble opinion the money now be-
ing contributed for the benefit of Mrs.
keenan, should be divided between the
two. Remember, friends, that there is a
Father Of Mercy who would not give all
to enc stricken child and leave to the
other only suffering and sorrow

Conseauences of a Frogs Error.
From the Denver Republican.

Salt Lake.-Jess, the big elephant be-
longing to Sells & Renfrows circus, was
slumbering quietly on the ground in the
nenagerie tent al l O'Clock this morning
when a frog, installing the nozzle of her
trunk for a hole in the ground, jumped
into it. Nothing so terrorizes an ele-
phant as the presence of a live insect
or animal in its trunk, and the big brute
broke loose and went on a rampage.
The keepers were eating their lunch
at the time, and the menagerie tent was
entirely deserted. A great crash was
heard, and the men rushed back just in
time to see Jess go through the side Of
the tent and amble off toward the bust
ness center of the city. A scene of wreck
age was presented within the tent. The
big brute had broken her chain, apparent
", and amused herself by tossing the
cages about before leaving -Four cages
were thrown over on their sides, as though
they were so many toys. and then the
elephant walked right through the side
of the tent The cages were those con-
tanning the badgers, hedgehogs, monkeys
and kangaroos, but fortunately none of
the animals were injured, and very lit
tie damage was done to the wagons.
Fifteen mounted men were sent in pur-
suit of the elephant. Jess came straight
down town and astonished a few pedes-
trains on the street by promenading up
and down Main street, occasionally strik-
ing the curb with her trunk and utter
ing cries of distress.
Mr.. Sells was with the men who over
took her and soon discovered the cause
of her discomfort. BY COMPRISING the
trung the frog was forced, down, and
finally blown out by the elephant. She
then became doc.le and was taken back
to the tent,

WE have been pestered with
questions in regard to the late
horrible murders in San Fran
cisco. Newspaper men are sup
posed to read everything
printed and imprinted, but we
confess that we have not been
able to wade through the mile
long reports of the California
papers dealing with the
murders. To accommodate our
interlocutors we print in an
other column a concise and
correct report which has APP
peared in the Argonaut. And
hereafter we hope that the
matter will be given an eternal
rest and left to oblivion, as all
other nine-day wonders.

Novelty in Brakes,

w. w. Wright, whose wor in
the carriage-making line has long
been a credit to local industry
has just brought out something
new in brakes. 1t is a brake
that he's shaft motion. At Mr.
Wright's carriage shop on For
Street rough brake with the new
shaft attachment is on exhibition.
IT has been tested Oh the road
and proved to work with perfect
satisfaction. The inv ntion con-
s;sts in fastening a spring to the
upper as we'll as the lower side
of til ataft.
Not only is the shaft meotion
abolished, but there is not the
rattle to the two springs which
there was to the one. Mr.. Wright
will furnish brakes of the cheapest
as we'll as the costliest styles with
this admirable attachment. 1t is
an Improvement that will & AXE

SERIOUS QUESTION.
Hawaiian Jurisdiction
/. Over Foreign Cor
porations.

There is a prospect of tussle
between wealthy American
corporation and tho authorities
Of the Republic of Hawaii.
The corporation is the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New
York, which does a large bust
ness in these islands. Lately
suit was brought against this
corporation on a life insurance
policy by the administrator of an
estate. 1t is learned that the
Mutual Life Insurance Company
has instructed its attorney here to
do nothing that would commit the
corporation to recognition of
the Jurisdiction of the Hawaiian
Courts over its affairs. A prom
inent lawyer was asked by an
INDEPENDENT reporter If it would
not be in place. in case foreign
corporations doing business here
monkeyed with Hawaiian juris-
diction, for the Legislature of
