And That at the Veteran showman's Own
Game, Advertising.

One of the elephants with the Barnum-
Bailey circus was the means of making
the fortune that Mr.. Bailey is credited
with possessing. 1t was as n baby phenom
enon that the pachydcrm did the good
turn for the successor OF "the great and
only Barnum."
Columbia is the name Of the creature.
and of tho hundreds of rare animals in
the aggregation none is treasured moro
highly than she, now huge, ungainly
and overgrown creature with not half the
wit posse ssed by the smallest elephant CON
nectcd with the circus.
II was away back in 1880, when the
news got around that the first elephant
born in captivity was living and travel
ing with the Bailey show Mr.. Bailey was
struggling young circus owner then,
battling against fearful odds. Barnum
was at the height OF his most remarkable
cGrcer-at the very topmost notch of cir
Gus fame.
Mr.. Barnum, quick to see the advantage
OF having so important an attraction as a
real American baby elephant, telegraphed
to Mr.. Bailey as follows:
"Will give 800, 900 for your baby elc-
phant. Must havo it. Z"
Mr.. Bailey wired in answer, "Will not
sell at any price. "
This seemed daring thing for Mr..
Bailey 90 do, for 100000 would almost
have purchased the entire show. Even Mr.
Bailcys best friends whom no consulted
in the matter, advised him 10 accept the
Offer. Instead of doing that he refused il
and hustled cast with his circus 10 meet
Barnum on his own ground.
BY the time that the Bailey circus
reached the cast tho whole country was
billed with posters on which was printed
what Barnum Thinks Of the Baby Ele-
phant" Underneath that heading was
printed Barnum's : telegram 10 Mr.. Bailey
AS the Bailey show followed in the wake
of tho Barnum circus each town in which
tho Barnum aggregation appeared was
billed with the Bailey poster.
Probably the Bailey advertising did not
affect tho attendance at the Barnum cir
Gus. Mr.. Bailey has since said that he
thought that it did not But the adycr-
tsemcntS staring tho veteran Snowman in
the face everywhere be went worried him,
and finally 20 dodge tho huge posters no
changed the route OF his circus, although
that routine had bcon determined upon
nearly IL months in advance. He jumped
from New York 20 Kansas City and sur
rendered the whole eastern field 60 tho
Bailey show. The next year the two
shows were consolidated and have been
ono show ever since.
Mr.. Barnum's one joke with Mr.. Bailey
ss long as the shrcwd old circus manager
was alive was, "Weil, have you any more
baby elephants that you 10 not want TO
sellY'--Now York Press.

GRAND JURY PREsENTMENTs.
Judge and Solicitor of County Court
Recommended for City Court.

Waycross, Ca, Nov. 13.-Albeit the
grand jury, at the April term of Ware SUI
perior court, recommended that in the
event a city court was established for
Waycross and Ware county Hon. John c.
Mcdonald be appointed judge and w. M.
Toomer solicitor Of the court, the grand
jury for the fall term of court recon-
mended that Judge ]. S. Williams judge
of the present county court, and Col. j. L.
Crawley solicitor of the county court be
appointed judge and solicitor respective
ly, for the city court. In view of the fact
that Hon. John c. Mcdonald has been
prominently mentioned recently for the
judgeship of the Brunswick circuit to
succeed Judge ]. L. Sweat, and it is be-
lieved that he will have such strong sup
port that he will consent to be a candi-
date at the proper time, the present rec
ommendation of the grand jury does not
reflect upon him at all, The people of
Waycross and all over the Brunswick cir
cult, except Brunswick, where Hon. Joe
w. Bennett resides are anxious for Mr..
Mcdonald to enter the race for judge of
the Brunswick circuit, and, had the pres
ent grand jury recommended him for the
city court, there would have been some
misunderstanding of the situation. The
friends of Judge Williams and Col. Craw-
ley are pleased with the grand jurys rec
ommendation. There is no doubt but that
the bill for the city court will be adopted
in the general assembly, and the grand
jury's recommendation is regarded as sig
nifcant.

The weather has been delightful for
wheeling purposes for the past few weeks.
and the riders have been enjoying it to
the utmost. Southern riders, and especial
" Savannah riders, have the edge on
northern wheelmen in that they can ride
all the year round. About this time the
northern rider puts his wheel away, and
it will be the latter part Of March or may
be early in April before he will haul Il
out again Here it is very different. All
of the severe weather or that in which it
not make up a full month. There are
cold spells of few days duration dur
ing the winter in which the rider finds 1t
better to walk or take the street cars,
but they are few and do not last long, as
a rule. All during the winter Savannah
wheelmen use their wheels, not only for
business purposes, but for pleasure riding
as we'll
The number of riders in Savannah seem
to increase daily, and the bicycle dealers
report fairly good sales, Notwithstanding
this is considered the dull season. The
wheels being sold now are all for new
riders. Those riders who intend purchas-
ing new wheaIe nrafar In WORRY alopor will,

of the '9S models. The new models viii
