A camel's Fatal Obstinacy.

Barnam & Bailey's circus and me
nagerie reached New York the other
day from Bridgeport, preparatory to
the annual exhibition at Madison
Square Garden. When the animals
were unluaded from the cars at One
Hundred and Third street and Lin
coin avenue one of the biggest of the
camels became obstinate and refused
to march with the procession. He
lay down in the street and for an hour
his keeper poked him with long
stick and twisted his tail.
When all means of influencing re-
factory camels had been exhausted
ed the keeper went over and had a
short talk with the elephant trainer.
The result was in few minutes the
elephant was brought to the spot. Be-
fore the camel could make any objec-
ton a rope was thrown over his head
in a knot that was not intended to slip.
He did not protest.
A moment later the other end was
fast to the elephant. This was a
surprise for the camel. The elephant
was told to march and he did so.
There was Jerk. but the camel still
refused to bulge. He braced him
self and let the elephant pull. The
cameps keeper was angry and urged
the elephant on He did not notice
that the rope around the camel's neck
had slipped and that it was choking
the beast Still the camel remained
obstinate and the elephant continued
to pull When the keepers at last
realized that something was wrong
with the rope they We're too late.
The animal was dead and his neck
had been stretched until it looked
like that OF giraffe. His value was
about $500. The museum of Natural
History will get his body.
Most Of the animals on reaching
the garden appeared to recognize
their old quarters. Headkeeper
Newman said the elephants entered
with loud trumpetings and marched
to their places almost without word
of command

that he had become member OF that
party Senator Aldrich also stated
that the subcommittee would well
come the most searching investigation
of the manner in which the sugar
schedule was prepared. The Senate
will decide, probably this week,
whether the Tillman resolution, di-
recting an investigation by special
committee of five Senators. shall be
adopted. 1t is probable that il will
be, although nothing was accomplish
ed by the other sugar investigation
by the senate three years ago, and
the head Of the sugar trust walked
out of Court last week on verdict of
mot guilty" when he was tried for
contempt in refusing to answer ques-
tons asked by members OF the Sen
ate Committee
Senator Morgan made an exhibit
ton of himself. and was compelled to
take his seat by Senator Gallinger,
who was presiding over the Senate at
that time. Mr.. Morgan has bad
case OF Reed on the brain. He vio-
lated one of the rules of the Senate by
specifically referring to the other
branch Of Congress and its failure to
act as Mr.. Morgan thinks it ought to
act upon legislation that has been
acted upon by the Senate.
1t is denied at the State Depart
ment that the Sultan Of Turkey has
refused to receive Hon. James b. An
gell, formerly President Of the Uni
versity of Michigan.a as u. S. Minister.
The stories to that effect probably
originated with those who are inter
ested in having that very thing occur
and who have been trying to fill the
Turkish Minister'S mind with distrust

has engaged passage on steamer
which sails from New York, June III,

temerity to attempt to help Jerry
Simpson get periodically tumbled
over by Speaker Reed, is about as
near to being the talking machine

hundred words a minute is about his
gait. The House stenographers dread
to see him start to talk.

They seem to change their tone
Trouble, sorrow, pain and death

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES.
Pushing the Tariff May Investi.
gate the Sugar Trust.
lFrom QUE Regular correspondei

(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, MAY 3I--President
Mckinley attended the Memorial day
ceremonies at Arlington cemetery,
where addresses were delivered by
Representative Deliver. of Iowa. and
Hon. Webster Davis, Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Interior. Mr. Tracey L.
Jeffords was orator of the day at the
Soldiers Home Cemetery, and the
address at the special services at the
tomb Of Gen. John A. Logan was de-
| livered by DrsJ. S. Naub. At Con-
gressional cemetery orations were de-
1ivered by Senator Cannon, of Utah,
and Hon. J. A. Frear, of Wisconsin,
and President Lincoln's Gettysburg
address was read by Capt. w. o.
Pretsinger, of the Department of Tex
as G. A. r. At ST. Elizabeth's Gene
terry Mr. T. J. Putnam was the orator.
At Oak Hill cemetery the Grafton was
by Representative w. II. King, and
at Harmony cemetery by Rev. Geo.
w. Lee.
The Senate has made good pro-
gress in considering the tariff bill by
paragraphs, and the rule adopted by
the Republicans to have the steering
committee agree each night upon the
nature of the paragraphs that are to
be voted upon the next day is work
ing like charm. The Committee
has been sustained in every vote tax
en- by the solid Republican vote and in
every instance has also been support
ed by some Populist or Democratic
votes. The tendency of the steering
committee has been to raise the du-
ties above what they were in the
amended bill reported to the Senate,
and it now looks as though the bill
would not differ very widely from the
Dingley bill as passed by the House
when it becomes law.
There has been so much Republican
objection to the increase of the tax on
beer and to the proposed duty on tea
that both may be struck out of the
tariff bill and the revenue that they
would have realized be provided for in
some other way, probably by tax on
bank checks, deeds, mortgages and
other conyeyances, but this has not
yet been fully determined upon; it is
only being discussed.
Senator Aldrich, speaking for the
sub committee that prepared the
amendments to the Dingley bill, in
clading the sugar schedule, in reply
to Senator Tillman's sensational in
situation, made the most positive
denial that the subcommittee was in
fuenced by the sugar trust or its
agents, and stated that only one man
outside OF the three members Of the
sub-committe, himself and Senators
Allison and Platt, of Connecticut
knew what the contents of the sugar
schedule were before the bill was re-
ported to the Senate. That man was
Senator Jones. of Nevada, who is
member OF the Finance Committee,
having been originally put on the
committee as Republican and left on
as Populist, alter his announcement

Sins Of the tongue. Jas, q: 1~is.
Read the whole chapter. Golden
Text. Keep thy tongue from evil,
and thy lips from speaking guile. =
Pisa. 81: u.
This chapter seems to caution us
against much teaching, in view Of its
responsibility, and the danger Of con-
demnation for false teaching, or Of
Tending God by our own words, A
little bride controls strong horse;
little helm turns a great ship; little
member-the tongue makes big
boast, and builds great FIRE, and is
set on fire Of hell. Even wild beasts
are tanned, but who can tame his
tonguep The lesson says no One.
II defiles the whole body which God
has declared to be His temple, and
says He will destroy any who deIile
IL See Cor. 5: I6-i7. 1t gives
both blessing and cursing, unlike
the inanimate creation which does
not yield both good and bad. Let
wise man see to his conversation,
whether it be in heaven, according
to Phil !: 20, or Of the Bible, teach
ing 1t, talking it. doing it as seen Ia
Deut 6: 7-I7. Most Of rs have DEM
onstrated that worldly wisdom cannot
do this How them Only with the
armor mentioned in Eph. 6: IL.
There is such thing as being wise
in our own eyes and not wise toward
God.j The lessons Of last year gave
us this thought Be wise; be reason-
able; consider. And il any Of you
lack wisdom, let him ask Of God, who
giveth to all men literally, and up
braideth not; and it shall be given
him" James i: S. The whole ques-
ton is one of mans utter weakness
and Gods ability, and the believer
must plant himself fair and square on
this double fact, for "other founda-
ton can no man lay than that is laid
which is Jesus Christ. Build on
Him. And depend on this He il
able to keep that which have CONF
mitted unto Him. I" See Tim. 4: IA.
In view Of the utter impossibility, as
taught in this lesson, Of controlling
the tongue by human power. how
shall we observe the golden text?
Pisa. T4i: ) tells ms. "Set watch.
o Lord. before my mouth; keep the
door Of my lips. The lesson indi-
Gates guiding hand on the bride
and the helm; even so, one greater
than man must be found to control
the tongue. And such strong
one is found. God says in Psa.
80: Io. | have laid help upon one
that is mighty" Even Jesus. He
is our refuge and strength, very
present help in trouble So no one
need be without abundant help. Ev-
eryone may be "more than conquer
ors through Him that loved u.s."

The illuminations Of the Brooklyn to-
night reflect the very greatest credit
upon all concerned. Along her rail was
a row Of electric lights, while between
her tunnels were large letters, "V r."

conspicuously. But the most striking
feature was old glory flying from a
yard arm and on which from time to
time the rays of a searchlight were
thrown, all the other lights Of the
cruiser in the meanwhile being ex-
tinguished, thus giving the flag the ap-
pearance Of floating in the air.

What Does the Kaiser Mean :?
Significant Speech by Emperor William Apparently Aimed
at the Spanish Policy o United States

LONDON, June 26.-The Spectator
publishes long leading article on En-
peror Williams remarks, as recorded by
the Paris correspondent of the Times
on Monday. The correspondent re-
ported a conversation affecting to rep
resent the views of the emperor. in the
course of which, speaking of his anx-
iety as to the future of Europe, he
said that he did not fear Chinese am
bition, but he did fear the expansion
of one of the great powers and the
intervention of the United States in
the affairs of the old world. The Spec
tator says This is so important
that we would give much to know
precisely what is in the kaiser's brain.
The kaiser has displayed at times sim
gular CLEANS of insight. The facts of
the moment appear to justify his enig-
matte saying. The Americans are ex-
hibiting tendency to depart from
their policy of seclusion and interfere
very strongly in the affairs of the old
world
