many who would otherwise have sign
ed his petition IL asked to do so.
But Biggerstaff has still further evil
dence of the hoodoo that is upon him.
Not entirely discouraged at the deser-
tion of his friend Johnson, he put an
other petition in the hands of another
dusky friend Friday and gave him IS,

the signatures of every one he could
persuade to sign the petition. The
friend took the S. and the blank petit
tion and started out. He got as far as
the nearest saloon, and then wet his
whistle" He kept wetting his whis-
tie until. by evening, he was uproar-
iously drunk. The condemned man as
yet has seen no trace of his friend with
the petition, but he thinks that he is
trustworthy He is sure to come
around" he said to-day. in speaking
of the matter.
And so the days go by with the man
who will be hanged April 6. Every
hour brings him nearer to the scaffold,
and yet he unconcernedly spends his
time drinking beer and whiskey, eat
ing limburger cheese and playing crib
bage with his death watch.

DIsfranohISsm mrnt of the Socialist, ..

Speaking of the reactionary govern
ment election scheme in Saxony, the
correspondent i'm Berlin of the London
Times. points out that IL will virtually
disfranchise the working classes. I'm
der the present system the members
of the lower house are elected by di-
rect suffrage on a moderate property
or rating qualification. The new law
not only proposes TO introduce the
Prussian system OF indirect election,
which Prince Bismarck himself once
admitted in an unguarded moment 10
be absolutely the worst under the sun,
but Il couples the exercise of the fran
chise. except I'm the lowest class. with
the enjoyment of an income of $500
marks a year. an income which. IL is
needless 10 say. scarcely a single arti-
san i'm SaNony possesses. nor even. as a
rule, small officials. elementary school
masters, clerks. petty tradesmen and
the like. The representatives returned
at the first election by the vast ma jor-
ity OF the Saxon electors Jumped to-
gether in the lowest class must there
fore invariably be outvoted in the final
election by the representatives OF the
small minorities qualified to vote In the
two higher classes. In some OF the
minor details there may be a slight inn
provement on the Prusslan system. but

type. an essentially plutocratic system.
and its avowed object Is solely TO keep
the social democrats out OF the Saxon
diet in which they now hold IA seats

seems to have altered his mind on this
as on many other matters. for he is
stated TO have congratulated his friends
in Saxony on the Introduction OF the
new franchise law; but the National
Zeitung the organ OF the national lib
eral party. which generally worships at
the old chancellor's shrine. is unable TO
share his enthusiasm and declares
roundly that IL is dangerous to disre-
gard the rights Of large majority OF

Drilling Great Dance.

Everyone knows the dog-the tricks
he can be taught and the intelligence he
displays in obeying the commands of
his master. IL is but recently, however,
that any attempt has been made to
train the massive Great Danes, savage
by nature, yet susceptible of a high
grade of proficiency in the art of anus
ing Colonel Magnus Schult of Han
over. Germany, has a number of these
animals in New York which he is train
ing for the variety change. They were

drill room recently.

Nine heavy. massive-limbed Great
Danes rise upon their hind legs and toe

Forward march,
With heads erect and eyes front these
unwieldy brutes march across the room
with the precision Of a squad Of in
fantry.

They resume their natural position
and gaze intently at their master,
whom any one Of them could tear TO
pieces.
A Great Dane is about as pliable and
The Anaconda standard., 1896-03-24

manageable as a young elephant. This.
Colonel Schult says, is the first time
that any attempt has been made to
teach them tricks. Promptly at 10 a.
m. every day the animals are released
from their kennels and are put through
simple military tactics. Then. one after
another. they are taught to turn somer-
saults, make fiip-fiaps, walk the tight
rope and dance.
When you consider that the heaviest
of these dogs weighs 176 pounds and
the smallest no less than 154 pounds,
you can imagine how graceful they
must look when they dance. Each one
of them, when he stands on his hind
legs, towers above his masters head.
The Great Danes are the most power
full dogs in the world, and are abso-
lutely fearless. Colonel Schult controls
them entirely by kindness. In addition
to these dogs, he is training a sturdy
German brindle bull of exquisite ugli-
ness to dance the coochee-coochee wrig

sPIRITUALISTS CLAIM THEM.
Edwin Booth Was Believer and Joe
Jefferson Has Faith In the Greed.


From the Philadelphia Times.
It Is a rather singular fact, although
one not generally known, that Edwin
Booth was and Joseph Jefferson Is a
confirmed spiritualist. 1t is not meant
by this that they trembled on the prec-
ipice of that misty belief, but that one
was and the other Is an enthusiast up
on the subject OF that creed. To such
an extent is this true that Jefferson
frankly tells his most intimate friends
about the spirit OF his first wife, Mag
gle Lockyer. visiting him in a material
form and sitting upon his knee Booth
even went further than this and in
sisted that he himself was a medium
and in that capacity had frequently
sat at the center of spiritualistic cir
cles. Fraudulent mediums" he often
said to a friend. may fool me, but l
can't fool myself" The first commune
cation from the other world which he
claims 10 have received concerned the
death of his father.
The elder Booth made HIS last ap-
pearance in New Orleans as Sir Ed
ward Mortimer in the play of The
Iron Chest" He left the Crescent city
for Cincinnati on the steamboat j. II.
Chittenden, and during the trip sud
denly died. Edwin Booth was then in
San Francisco. There was no tele-
graph in those days. and the postal
service was so slow that II was six
weeks before the news OF the great
tragedian's death reached the golden
gate. Yet Edwin Booth claimed then
that at the very hour his father died

the honesty and goodness of his life or
the innate nobleness OF the man. He

early days, when life was a constant
contest against savages. he fought
bravely and successfully the hardships

He had an extensive acquaintance

but had fallen into convivlal habits, and
when drinking was very hugly. Time
and again he had made threats against
the man who killed him. Friends of the
latter told him OF the threats. and begged
him to avoid a meeting. which he did
whenever possible. At last II came TO a
question of killing or getting killed, and
he obeyed natures first law.
"A jury would have cleared him be-

Ten years have gone by and the old
father has never relented. He stands
