THE ELEPHANTS AND TINE RAT.
Further Details of the Test at
bridgeport Recently,
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The visit of the scientists to the Bar
mum & Bailey's menagerie at Bridgeport
Friday is thus described by a New York
paper: The professors from the colleges
had been especially invited to study two
things-frSt, the extraordinary fear
shown by the herd of elephants at the
sight of a rat or a mouse, and, sec
ond, to observe elephantine intoxication
produced by large quantity of wllis-
Ky 1t was eventually decided that the
whisky experiment should not be tried,
not only because 1t might cause need
less suffering to the animal, but also be-
cause it would take nearly a barrel to
opinion of "Tody" Hamilton, was the
stronger reason of the two. He thought
that TO waste such am enormous quantity
of liquor upon an animal that could not
appreciate IL was little short of crimi-
nal. At all events, there was not an ele-
plant in the 80 that could be induced
to take even a gill of whisky. simply
because OF the burning sensation caused
in the delicate membranous lining Of the
trunk when the liquor was sucked up.
The experiment with the rats and mice
was a complete and wonderful success.
A dozen of the rodents had been caught
in traps, and long strings tied to their
tails. The scientists and the reporters
distributed themselves in bales of hay
and other convenient points where they
would be safe in case of a stampede;
and at one time it looked very much
as though this might happen. The han
dicapped rat was thrown in front of
a huge Asiatic elephant which was Sc
curely hoppled with heavy chains. There
was a shrill trumpet of terror and the
great beast tugged at his bonds. At the
same moment all the other elephants set
up a low rumble, the sound coming d.
rectIy from the mouth, and not through
the trunk. 1t sounded not unlike the
continuous roll of a bass drum. The rat
scarnpered between the elephants fore
legs, and this seemed to increase his
fright
With his trunk he followed the direction
taken by the rat, and blew a mighty
blast Of air. The sagacity and accuracy
of this action was at once apparent. The
rat was blown five or six feet away from
the elephants hind legs, one of which
was lifted and kicked to push still further
away the tiny cause of annoyance. The
low rumble from the other elephants had
then Increased in force, and in a few
minutes the whole place was in an uproar.
The elephants were chained in such a
manner that their ponderous feet did not
have more than eight inches play; other
wise they would have pulled up the stakes
to which the chains were made fast.
They trumpeted and tugged and strained
and waved their trunks in the air. Sew
eral of the spectators began to edge to-
ward the doors. But every precaution was
taken, and. not an elephant broke away.
A white guinea pig was released, and 1t
ran toward big eNphant, who kicked it
and sent the little creature flying. The
guinea pig did not create anything like

AdOwa Defeat Will Strengthen

More Particulars of the Recent

LONDON, March IA dispatch to
the Times from Cairo says: 1.-THE
Abysslnians, or the dervishes, have
ext the wires betweec Cassala and
Massowah. and it is feared that they
have isolated Cassala by occupying
the intervening territory. The latest
advices, which were of Saturday, state
that 2 ,oOO Italians had left Asmara to
reinforce Cassala, which had already
a garrison of 1900 Italians and ma
tives. 1t is feared that the dervishes,
who are within rifle shot of CassaIa,
have intercepted the Italian reinforce
ments.
1.-The Adowa defeat must diminish
European prestige and strengthen the
Mahdist power"
The Times also has dispatch from
Rome. which says: THE Tribunals
Massowah kilograms clear General
Baratieri from the charge CT diSloy
atty and show that the retreat of Adj
dicale was begun three days before
the battle of Adowa, but was delayed
on account of the reported movement
of the Shoans. The troops were short
of rations, and went into the action
fasting after a nights march. Gen
era1 Barteria telegraphed on Saturday
that the Shoan positions were impreg-
nable."
Dispatches from Massowah to the
Italian papers show that the Italians
Tough bravely at Adowa and obeyed
orders wherever they were well led.
But they were badly organized and
there was no direct control over the
distribution of the forces.
The men lost heart when they saw
their officers fall Several desperate
rallies were made, which might have
saved the position if they had been
properly supported.
The Italian officers Redeemed with
shame and anger when the Shoans
demanded their surrender, and fought
to the last with sword in hand.
General Arimondi and Colonel Gal
1iano, with 300 white soldiers, are now
reported to be prisoners in the hands
of the Shoans.
1t is reported that Cassa1a is now
surrounded by the dervishes.
According to the Italia Militaire,
the Italian losses amounted to 1890,
of whom 5000 belonged to General
Albertone's column.
1t is positively ascertained that Cen
eral Dabormida is dead. The only
thing known OF, General A1bertone is
that he fell wounded in the attack.
The Opinione states that General
Baldissera has telegraphed the gov
eminent that the situation is very
serious and that he can do nothing to
relieve Adigrat. He wants means to
strengthen the position of Asmara.
The government has replied, leaving
him liberty of action, but begging
him not to engage the enemy except
in case of extreme necessity.

Sullivan Claims the Championship.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March John
L. Sullivan, in an interview with a re-
porter here, declares that he is the
champion of the world; that he won
his honors legitimately in a bare
knuckle contest, and that he was one
of the last men in America engaged in
a bare knuckle fight. Sullivan says
that COrbett had no right or authority
to give away the championship. The
ex-champion believed that the man
claiming that honor should win it in
the manner in which he had won it.
Sullivan frankly admitted that Cor
bett had whipped him in glove con-
test, and said that while he was still
champion of the world it was merely
a technical claim, and that he was not
bothering himself about technical1ties.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS.

Everything Considered, the Market Elk
hibited Remarkable Strength.
NEW YORK, March 7.-R- G. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says;
The Cuban resolutions and the ap-
pointment of receivers for the Balti-
more & Ohio were events of sufficient
Importance to affect almost any gen.
uine market. especially for securities
1t, therefore, argued other remarka-
BILE strength of conditions or an en-
tire want of life and genuineness in
the market that the prices of the sixty
most active railroad stocks, which
averaged $43.74 per share February /,
have never fallen since that date
lower than $40. 80, nor risen above
$50. IS per share.
The Tndustrials all report a slightly
lower range of prices, except for iron
and steel products. Prices OF wool
have declined an average of "a per
cent within the month of February,
presumably because of the failure OF
the proposed tariff bill, which included
duties on wool. Reports are frequent
that many of the largest mills are
about to stop production for time,
in order to give the market Opportun-
ity to clear itself.
Speculation in breadstuffs has not
been particularly active, nor has the
change in prices been important.
Failures for the week have been 285
in the United States, against 234 last
year, and 6s in Canada, against SO last
year.

teen years she has been badly broken
out all over her body, causing her I'M
told suffering, and frequently rendering
her unable to attend school. Her arms
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then dry up and scale off by the hand
full, and at one time an awful sore ap-
peared on her ear, which became severe
ly iuaamed and almost dropped off.
The disease also broke out on her head
and her hair was a continuous mass of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
BILE.
ssOf course we have done all we could
to relieve her, and have given her al
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various sa1ves
and external applications by the whole
sale, and almost every so-ca11ed blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be we'll. 1 was advised
several times to send her to Hot Springs,
and also to a celebrated spring in A1ichi-
gan, and was told that this was the only
chance on earth of her ever being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines.
"a few months ago, someone recon-
mended S. S. s., and as soon as her sys-
TEN had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
t1nued to improve in every way We
were delighted to see her so much bet
ter and for the first time felt that she
would get well. The medicine was con-
t1nued while longer, and now she is
cured sound and we'll, her skin is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened to blight her life for
ever. The cure is all the more remark
able because she inherited the disease,
which has been in our family for several
in s. S. S. cure for a diseas which
all the specialists in the world fail to
cure. I consider S. S. S. most wonder
full remedy, and it certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch.''
This experience is like that of all others
who seek relief from the many so-cal1ed
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged.
1t is but folly to expect cure from this
dreadful disease by the use of sa1ves,
lotions, or any external application
The disease is in the blood, and
only a blood remedy can eliminate it.
S. S. S. is a real blood remedy, guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and for real deep
seated blood diseases, has no equal. It
cures permanently Scrofu1a, letter,
Rheumatism, and all of the many blood
diseases 1t has made some truly re-
markable cures of Cancer, full accounts
of which can be had on application; our
valuable books on blood and skin dis
eases will also be sent free to any adj
dress. Swift Specific Company, Atlanta,

Eczema
All Her Life.

Here is another case Showing that
there are few remedies which cure deep
seated blood diseases. Eczema is one
of the most obstinate blood troubles.

WEYLER TALKS.
In Speech at Havana "the Butcher" Ex-
presses Pacific Sentiments.


HAVANA, March On the occasion
of visit which General Weyler paid
to the Casino and Opera house yester-
day the president, Francisco Santos
Guzman, in receiving his distinguished
visitor, made short address.
General Weyler in reply said he re-
GREETED the hostility some United
States Senators exhibited toward
Spain, especially, he explained, as the
Spanish authorities on this island
treat citizens of the United States
with more consideration and assign
to them more prerogatives than any
other people. In spite of this, he said,
hostility was manifested toward Spain.
In conclusion the captain general
remarked: "There is no reason why
the good friendship between the two
nations should be altered, and for
that reason 1 am trying to follow the
example of the illusErious Canovas
Del Castillo, chief of our government.

where to die if the country requests
this extreme sacrifice for her in
tegrity and honor"
