ELEPHANTS IN INDIA.

No Ono Allowed 20 Shoot Them Without
special Permission.
Nobody may shoot an elephant, Gays
the LONDON Telegraph, on the Anna
mule or Tipperah hills or anywhere else
throughout India and Ceylon without
permission unless it be a rogue" "
or plainly dangerous and destructive.
The capture Of the wild elephant and
his careful training are things carried
out under an admirable and scientific
system, which gives TO the administra-
tion in all its branches and to the native
courts a superb staff of massive and
faithful servants, the oommissariat and
artillery elephants
Although they will seldom or never
breed in captivity, the grand creatures
are easy to keep and manage, invaluable
for many special purposes, and at their
demise whatever tusks they may carry 60
TO the worlds stock Of ivory. The older
it is the better generally its quality. But,
in any case, how senseless it seems TO eX-
tirpate the living source Of this beauti-
full commodity, as the reckless hunters
and ignorant native chiefs and mer-
chants are still allowed to do in central
Africal When shall we see the govern
ments Of these various regions sensible
enough to perceive and proclaim that
live elephants are very much more valu-
able even commercially than dead ones,
and that the preservation of these state
ly and serivceable animals shall be
henceforward a fixed policy for African
benefit?
1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly the native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant is
worth dozens of tusks they will be as
keen to preserve the animal as they now
arc to exterminate him. We might plead
earnestly, even upon the ground Of es-
theticism and natural science, for the
protection in future Of the noble beast,
whose majesty and tranquility of mieu
so well become his silent haunts and
philosophic, harmless existence. The
ears of those, however, who massacre
the innocent giant to cut from him 20
or 80 pounds Of material for paper
knives and shoe horns would be closed
TO such remonstrancos The best hope Of
all who understand the value of the el
ephant for Africa is that even the most
ruthless of his assassius may come tC
learn that they are destroying their OWL
markets. The rest is for official authori
ties to do. But certain it is that if de-
cided measures be not promptly taker

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TOUR,
VIA PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.
AT S.13 a. m Wednesday, January n,

dining, sleeping, compartment, and OBJ

railroad, bound for San Diego, CalifOr-
mia, and conveying the first of the

plished ohaperon, this party, without
fear of missing train connections, and

comfort and ease as it would spend a
week at the Waldorf, stopping, too, at
St. Louis, Kansas City, Las Vegas Hot
Springs and Santa Fe. and visiting
their principal points of interest. A
bath ROOM barber shop and an upright
piano will be found on the train, and
every other convenience and luxury of
first-class hostelry.
The great object of this tour is to
escape the insalubrious climate of the
East and to sOjourn for time amid the
transcendcnt beauties of California,
breathe its invigorating air and bask
beneath It's matchless sky. A grander
attraction could not be offered, nor a
more perfect method of reaching it.

Paradise of the Pacific" during which
! tourists will visit Los Angeles, Pasa-
dena "Ye Alpine Tavern, Santa Bar
bara, San Bernardino, Mt. Hamilton,
and the garden spot of the earth, Del

ITS SPLENDID CAST RETAINED.
The Gay Parisians," which comes TO
the Opera House on Tuesday night, was
first produced in this country at Hoyt
Theatre, New York. After it had been
running there for over half the season,
Charles Hoyt insisted that his object in
acquiring a New York theatre was 70
produce his own comedies. Mr.. Froh-
man yielded TO the wish of the play
wright to give "A Black sheep a met
ropolitan production, and took me
Gay Parisians" away. Though 1t was
Lent. the success of the funny French
farce was uninterrupted. Thence the
comedy went to Chicago and ran
throughout the Summer. Since then IL
has been to the Pacific coast and back
and now a prosperous run in Phlladel-
phia has just closed. The retention OF
such a splendid cast shows the desire
of Mr.. Frohman to take no possible
chances on marring a perfect perform
ance OF so entertaining a comedy.
