CAPTURING AN ELEPHANT.
Something About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel Sport.

Something About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel Sport.
When the two sons of the Prince Of
Wales were on visit to Ceylon, grand
elephant hunt was projected to show
them how the animals were captured.
Here is an extract from Joseph Moore's
description of the hunt:
After long maneuvering the trained
elephants managed to separate large
cow from the herd and SO ranged them
selves about her that she was forced to
stand. This was the opportunity wanted,
and in fash an agile native slipped
under one of the friendly bruses, rope
in hand.
Waiting until the restless prisoner
lifted her hind foot, he deftly placed
the moose about her leg and withdrew.
Another venture fettered the second
limb, the decoys meanwhile warding of
with their trunks several wrathful
strokes at the man. The ropes were now
firmly secured to stout tree and the
captive left entirely alone save her calf.
Then began a titantic struggle for
liberty that no few words can justly
portray. Finding herself baffled in un-
tying the many knots or in uprooting
the tree, she writhed, screamed, tore at
the foliage, paved the earth, tossed
clouds of dust over her back, flung her
trunk about fiercely and planted her
head upon the ground for leverage to
rend asunder the bonds.
At length she fell in exhaustion, an
guish and despair and lay motionless
and resigned. The natives we'll knew
that these symptoms forbode the loss Of
their prize. She painted for an hour or
more, sighed deeply and died-of "bro-
ken heart"
A male somewhat above medium
size was next submitted to the exciting
ordeal with minor variations. While he
stood jammed between two of the tame
elephants, away from any tree, the
nooser induced him to raise his hind
foot by touching it gently, drew the
running knot about his leg ard retreat
ed. In this case the rope was attached
to the girth cf one Of the tra...4>i ami
mails, and the sagacious brute, knowing
exactly what was expected of him, be-
gan to drag the captive toward tree
facing the spectators stands.
The wild one resisted violently, but
without avail, as the tame allies stead
ly pushed, butted and pulled him across
the inclosure. When the tying was COM
plete, his contortions to free himself
were astonishing, though in the end be
Gained down, hopeless and covered with
soil.

A Broom FACToRY.-E. III. Elmore
and ?. Boudreaux, both of this city,
have announced their intention of
starting broom factory in Crowley.
This will be located in the east part
OF town near the residence of T. J.

plant that will have daily capacity
of twenty. dozen, and will increase
the capacity when demand for their
goods justifies it. They expect to
open mp and be in running order by
October !.
A broom factory Is an establishment
that Crowley has room for, and since
they lave no competitors located here
these gentlemen should do we'll .
They should be able to entirely sup

FACTS AND FIGURES.

xuterestine Excerpts from the Annual Re-
port OF the Commissioner OF Anternah
Revenue-MoOnshIne stills Seized show
considerable eIncreAse-Increaaet In cigar
and Cigarette Manufacture, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of internal
revenue says that the seizure OF illicit
stills within the last few years has in
creased greatly, and that the matter
should receive serious consideration.
In 1894. 1,oI6 unregistered stills were
seized. Since that time seizures OF
this character have increased gradual
ly. until during the last fiscal year they
reached the unprecedented number OF
2,27S.
The cause of the increased illicitpro-
duction of spirits no doubt in great
degree is attributable to the increased.
tax on that product The suppression
of '.moonshinlng" is very difficult.
Stills are operated illicitly in many
parts of the country, but they are par
ticularly numerous in the more remote
localities and in the mountain regions
of several of the southern states. On
this account extraordinary measures
must be taken to discover and seize
them. Collectors allege that the means
at their hands are entirely inadequate
for this purpose, hence the appropria-
tions for the discovery of violations OF
internal revenue laws must be depend
ed upon for this work. The appropri-
alton for the last three or four years
has been insufficient for this and other
purposes for which it is provided.
The following shows a list OF stills
seized and number of arrests made:

{ The total for the country was $146,
619, 593.47.
The estimate made by the commits
sioner year ago was a total of $780,
900, 900, and it is estimated that there
will be n slight increase for the current
year. Probably this year will produce
$3.50, 100000 from internal revenue, al
though the estimate is Sl56, 900, 900. As
a rule the result falls below advance
calculation.
In the raids on illicit stills $40 per-
sons were arrested, one was killed and
three were wounded. During the last
ten years ten officers were killed and
16 were wounded by moonshiners.
The commissioner recommends that
the expense of storing spirits in gener-
al bonded warehouses be borne by the
owners of that spirits, such charge to.
be levied by means of stamp tax.
This, he says, would greatly lessen
the objection to the use of the
warehouse by any class Of spirits The
commissioner also recommends that
existing laws be modified so as to au-
thorize the commissioner to prescribe
by regulations what statutory package
of tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes
may contain, or authorize him to pro-
hibit the packing in such packages of
articles which appreciably increase the
bize and weight of the package, under
penalty of seizure and forfeiture.
