WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY.

Washington Star: Head Keeper Black
burma of the national zoo, is probably as
we'll acquainted with animals as any man
of his age in the world. He was what
is known as keeper OF the cats" with
circus and has had q great experience
with all kinds and varieties. He does not

aware of the fact.
Recently in conversation with Star re-
porter he said that in order to handle ami

They have much more sense and under

given credit for. They can tell in an in
slant when any one is afraid of than, and.

the same time, he says: nerve is not
everything requisite in going among wild
beasts with impunity. Their moods and

will be well received one day, will prob
ably invite an attack another

BISHOP LEONARD ON THE NOR
MONS.

Rt. Rev. Abel Leonard. Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Utah. Nevada and
Western Colorado, is in Baltimore
where he made an address last Sunday
on matters in Utah. Among other
things the bishop said:
Are we making much progress in the
conversion of the Mormans? am sorry
to say We are not There is a great
school established in Salt Lake City
that was erected at a cost OF 500, 600,
all of which sum was raised within the
borders of the state. Here numbers of
young men and young women are being
educated and are being daily returned
to their homes to take up life as trained
nurses or to seek livelihoods in other
occupations. 1t is true they so back as
they came-Mormons-b they are in
telligent Mormons.
1T is owing to educational influences
that conditions among the Mormons are
different from what they were 80 years
ago. 1t is a fact that the power of the
church is just as strong, but the Nor
mons deal kindly, gently and gener-
they are content with their own re
ligion. do not see where we can find
any fault with them OF course. we
are sorry, but with the advance of civil
lization these difficulties and differences
may adjust themselves and all may be
WELL
This is all said in the kindliest of

this state. What Bishop Leonard says
about making converts among the
0Iormons is probably what the bishops
and elders Of other churches in Utah
would say on the same subject. Con-
vert work among the Mormons is a
difficult thing, it being almost as IN
promising as convert work among
Catholics. A truly remarkable thing in
this regard is the fact that quite a
number of Mormons have become
Christian Scientists in the last few
years; and Christian Science is about
as nearly opposite to Mormonism as
possible.
Bishop Leonard makes a very philo-
sOphical remark when he says that if
the NIormons are contented with their
religion he does not see how anybody
can find fault with them. Can religion
do more than to make a man con-
tented? II no doubt makes men who
have it better and gives them higher
spiritual aspirations. but after all the
great blessing that religion confers
upon men is to make them contented

PROSPECTIVE TARIFF TINKER
ING.

A Washington dispatch to an ex-
change says that tariff amendment to
get more income is to be the surprise
at the coming session of congress- The
deficit under the Dingley bill is a ser
ious worry to the Republican leaders.
To some extent it was expected, owing
to the heavy advance importations.
Some believe that income will catch up
to outgo before the end of the fiscal
year in June. Others see a deficit i'm
pending of anywhere from $40, coo, 900 to
$50, 100000 Treasury officials, it is stat
ed, have made most careful estimates
for President McKinleys information,
but what they show has not been di-
vulged. 1t is generally admitted, how
ever, that a continuing deficit at the
time of the next congressional elections
may prove disastrous to the Republican
party, and the presidents advisers real
ize that the coming session of congress
is the time to get Uncle Sam on a pay
ing basis, especially as the army and
navy people intend to make an unus-
ually heavy raid on the treasury for
warships and Notifications.
Should the administration decide to
bring about some tariff amendments it
could far more easily accomplish that
end than bring about any currency re-
form, though the latter is what a large
portion of those who supported Major
Mckinley for president will urge; es-
peciany Will this be the case with the
gold Democratic and mugwump press,
but it is a matter that there would be
far less likelihood of receiving such
consideration from congress as the
president might desire than would any
proposed tariff tinkering.
Nothing can be palmer than that a
continuance of monthly deficits under
the Dingiey law until the congressional
elections next year would be most dis
astrous to the Republican party, and
would insure its defeat. To attempt
any amendment of the present tariff
for the purpose of providing sufficient
revenue to cover deficits, and this at
the first regular session of congress
after its passage, would be an admis-
sion of the failure OF the tariff as a
revenue producer, the very object for
which it was enacted. If any attempt
at amendment should be made for the
purpose Of supplying additional reve-
nue., it would almost of necessity take

SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES.

The nominations made Thursday
night for candidates for members Of
the board of education are a guarantee
that our school system as established
viii not be impaired in any respect
It is not likely that any other candi-
dates viii be placed in nomination,
and there is no necessity for any. The
only possible platform on which they
could stand would be one of opposition
either to the public schools generally
or to the high school in particular, and
il is not likely that any citizen would
care to be raised TO that bad eminence.
At least half of the candidates are
college graduates, and graduates Of the
leading institutions of learning in the
country.
For the past two or three weeks the
people have been discussing the school
question and taking more interest in it
than ever before. They have realized
that there are those in the city who are
not in full sympathy with the high
school, at least, and that they would
abolish it if they could That it will
be abolished there is no danger But
the people should take d greater direct
interest in the schools and then there
would be no danger Of any attack on
them.
When the new board shall be elected
and indicted into office it should IA
miliarize itself with the condition of the
schools in every respect. 1t is not i'm
probable that various economies can
be effected in one thing and another,
though that they can be effected so
that any very considerable sum can be
saved to the taxpayers we do not be-
heve; still, a saving of a few thousands
a year would aid in reducing the
bonded indebtedness. It is needless to
say to those Who viii compose the next
board Of education that there must be
no lowering Of the present standard OF
the school, but we do urge that they
raise it if they can, and that by MAX
ing the teaching more thorough and
eXacting.

There is a difference in the caste of
animals even. Dunk, the large elephant,
IS much higher caste animal than Gold
Dust. That can be told almost from look
ing at the two animals. Dung is tractable
and dociie. He seems to understand that
It IS much better for him to be SO than
otherwise, not because he is afraid of pun
ishment. On the other hand, Gold Dust
Is apparently dOcile because he is afraid
that he viii get the worst of it if he does
anything wrong. The other has naturally
no desire to oy9rSteD the bounds. Gold
Dust is more of scrub elephant, and he
looks it. No matter how much he is fed
he will not become heshy. There is al
most the same difference in their manner

EXTRAORDINARY LOSSES
BATTLE.

The recent dedication of the Pennsyl-
vania monument at Chattanooga has
awakened q renewed interest in the
fighting qualities of the American
soldier and the percentage of killed and
wounded IN some Of the engagements
where it was remarkably great.
The charge of the Light brigade at
Balaklava is usually regarded as hav-
ing resulted in greater percentage of
loss than in any other charge or battle,
but it is not. The loss in killed and
wounded in that charge was only 56.7
per cent of the total number of officers
and men. The remarkable thing about
it, when everything is considered. is
that the percentage of loss in killed
and wounded was so small for the
valley through which the brigade
charged was almost like a tunnel with
the top off. Let that loss be compared
with some that various regiments sus-
tanned in the civil war
IN his work entitled "Regimental
Losses in the American Civil War. -
Colonel Fox says that at Gettysburg
the One Hundred and Forty-f1rst
Pennsylvania lost 75.7 per cent, the
First Minnesota lost 80 per cent. while
the Twenty sixth North Carolina
(Confederate) lost III per cent, Colonel
Fox gives a list of sixty-three Union
regiments in the civil war that sus-
tanned losses in single battles ranging
from SOL to 50 per cent. The regiment
al nn hi lot Of
loss was the First Minnesota at Gettys-
burg.
These are terrific losses and had there
been an American Tennyson to sing of
the va!or and heroism of those who
composed these regiments there would
have been many poems as stirring as
1.-The Charge of the Light Brigade. -
The charge at Balaklava was a
blunder, but Tennyson has given indy
ing fame to all who were in it How
many sacrifice their lives for fame who
never achieve it, but not SO those of
whom the late laureate sang. The
American soldiers who did such great
deeds of valor must be content to live
in statistics instead of song.

esting to give some statistics of the
losses on both sides in the Franco
German war. They have been COM
piled, fully and accurately from official
sources, by Signor Bodio, director gen
eral Of the Italian statistical bureau,
and recently published According to
Signor Bodio France lost 1876, GOO men, of
whom $4,000 were either killed or died
of wounds received in battle, $4,000 died
of disease in France, and 10000 died as
prisoners of war in Germany. There
were also All, 400 men rendered unfit for
service during the war, namely, 1873, 900
by wounds in battle, 11,400 by wounds
and other injuries on the march, and
32S000 by disease, privation, exposure,
and similar causes. The losses of the
Germans. as compiled by Bodio from
official and thoroughly authentic re-
ports, were 17255 men killed in battle
and 21.O23 deceased in ambulances and
hospitals, making a total loss of 49,
27S by death. The loss of the French
was therefore 97,722 more than that of
the Germans.
These statistics are surprising in
that they show the loss in killed to be
, much less in the German army than
popularity supposed. What calamity
