An Elephant That Would Not Eeglsas .,
 Haby 1t wns Caring For.
 Marie A. Blillie, in St. Nicholas. tells Q number of Stories of Elephants " Mrs Millie says:
 Some time before the elephant hnnA ! have described my husband was at station in Bengal. His work kept him out nearly all day, and, being i'll, I used to lie for hours in long garden chair on the veranda, too weak to read or enjoy any more exciting amusement than my eyes supplied to me
 We had three elephants for our tenEa and baggage, and one dear creature used to feed from my hands every day and seemed us gentle as any pet dog or cat.
 One of our government ohaprasis WAS particularly devoted to her and invari- ably shared bis meal of fruit or flour cakes with his dumb friend. On par. tieularly hot day the chaprasi, to my surprise. placed his tiny child of 6 months at the elephants feet, warning her expressively that tue infant was in her charge and was to be cared for till his return. myself was an eyewitness of her wonderful sagacity. Large ha- mana trees and fig trees grew around, and, to my surprise, the elephant broke off one of the former's spreading leaves, held it 1ike fan in her trunk and from time to time gracefully waved it over the slumbering child, whether to tenn. per tho heat of the atmosphere OF to keep off files, am unable to say. The gentle way in which she moved her feet over the child and across to each side astounded me. I sent for white Loaf and some oranges, and, calling her by name (she was never chained), tried in vain to tempt her to my side on the low veranda, Nothing would induce her to leave her charge. The warm mir and monotonous wave of the swinging fan overpowered me with drowsiness, to which yielded, and, after sleep of some duration, I was awakened by Qniet, subdued snorts beside me To my surprise found that the chapraH had just returned to his offspring, and the elephant stood near the veranda be- aide me, patiently waiting and geatly asking for the tempting dainties so hrayely withstood for over two hours

Bruts Instinct.

Natural laws pertain to all things, and certain laws govern the conduct of brute society But that the actions of the lower animals are over prompted by a sense of duty is not only extreme. ly hypothetical, but altogether doubt ful. The hen has strong maternal affec. tion, but that she has the least idea of the virtue of that affection any more than of the virtue of doing good for evil is in the extreme conjecturaL It is often hard and even impossible to ae- count for tho likes and dislikes of ami mals. The hen will sometimes destroy certain of hcr brood and the SOW de vour her own offspring. Much of the cruelty is practiced upon the brutes for the lack of thought that they are not morally responsible. They are treated as if they are conscious of wielzedly selfish acts. l once saw some men look ing at a drowning mouse in a pail of water. Irebuked them, and one of thom "a man pc, Japs 40 years old-turned to me and said, ''The mouse deserves it. Why deserved it? Pray tell us Shall we say it was conscious of the sin of thieVing2 Others may try to view it in that way. do not l knew another man who would hold rats with tongs and roast them alive in the fire. If he could not provo that they deserved their torture, he certainly wished to be. lieve they did If we recognize a Crea- tor, is it not most rational to suppose that he has created tho brutes morally irresponsible and would have us thus regard them, that our inclination to tor ture them would be held in restraint?- Forest and Stream

posits are placed in circulation again by the banks, but goodly part re- mains in the vaults. The degree or extent of deposits indicates the de- gree or extent of the surplus funds of the respective sections, and it is easy therefore to see why the East should continue to talk of "a plethora, 2 suficiency, of money, or of "too much money" in the country.
 One of our chief financial ills is this unequal distribution of the cir culation medium. We were assured by the Mckinley following last year that a goldbug success would result in large enterprises and investments of Eastern capital in the South and West and consequently the wider distribution of money, but these bright and seductive promises have not been kept. The release of the funds has not yet occurred. Nor will the equal distribution ever oc- cur under a system that permits and encourages the accumulation of funds in the hands of those who hold money for big speeulations, render ed possible and profitable by the conditions of a trust-ridden trade and an embarrassed treasury. Un- der the present financial system and industrial status of the Nation mon ey us naturally seeks Eastern vaults as water runs down hill The post master generals figures are another demonstration of this truth.

JOHNNY JONES SENTENCED
Thirty Days and a Small Fine
for Killing His Brother.
PLEA OF GUILTY ENTERED
The Boys Quarreled About a Piece
ing-Justice bingham Hears the
Evidence and Imposes Light
Sentence.

John G. Jones, colored, the thirteen-year-
old slayer of his brother, entered plea
OF guilty of manslaughter, in criminal
court, No. ! yesterday afternoon, and was
sentenced to thirty days in jail and fine
OF So.
The facts Of the killing are that on May
8 last, the two boys quarreled in thc
house OF DR. Morris, their employer, No.
S15 Fourteenth street northwest, over
a piece Of bread Robert. the dead boy,
who was several years older than bis
brother, struck the latter several times.
John then went upstairs and procured
DIR. Morris pistol, he says, for the purpose
OF frightening his brother. But when he
pointed it at the latter's head the pistol
went off and the bullet entered the skull
causing almost instant death.
The grand Jury III the January term in
dicted the boy for murder, to which,
through his counsel, Herbert NJ Locke, lie
entered plea OF not guilty.
Yesterday, however, when the case came
up for trial before Chief Justice Bingham,
Attorney Locke stated that he would with
draw the plea OF not guilty and substitute
one OF guilty OF manslaughter Assistant
District Attorney Shllingt ton, for the Gov
ernment, favored heacceptance Of the plea,
but the court decided to first hear the evi.
dence in the case.
A number of witnesses We're theTeupun
examined, who gave the little defendant
an excellent character, and, while no one
was present ut the shooting, all the circurn-
stantial evidence pointed To an accidental
killing
Chief Justice bingham, in reviewing
the trial said that the duty of the court
was to Sift the testimony to find whether
there was generalization whi ch would neces-
state a Jury trial for murder, whether / {
had been negligent, which would justi-
fy the court in accepting the plea as
rendered, or whether il was in self-defense
or an accident, in which case the court
would permit the defense 10 withdraw
the plea OF not guilty and enter one of
guilty OF manslaughter, 10 be tried by jury.
From the evidence brought out in the
case the court would hold that the defend
ant was guilty of technical manslaughter
lie had no right to point the pistol toward
his brother n doing that he was doing
an unia wful act and was guilty OF negii-
gehce. The court would therefore pass
Judgment that the defendant is legally lia-
bic fer manslaughter.
THE boy" the court continued, ''is suf-
fering from the results Of his foolish act,
and is probably the most sincere mourner
for the death Of his brother. | do not think
the ends of justice call for long term.
''Under ali the circumstances think there
should be a sentence imposed but in view
of the youth and previous good character
of the boy, and as the boy has already been
confined for period of three months, a
short term should be imposed -
The prisoner was told to stand up to
receive sentence, and did so, trembling
with nervousness
The court then imposed the light and
almost nominal sentence stated above.

LIBERTY MARKET CLAIMS.
Commissioners Wight Confers With
Committee Rega riding Them.

Commissioner Wight went TO the Capitol
yesterday 20 confer with the members of
the District Committees regarding the in
tention Of Congress in the act providing for
the relief of the stall holders and others
of the Northern Liberty Market which
was approved in January last, and as a re-
suit of which many claims are now aw ait
ing adjudication. Several of these claims
were sent TO the Commissioners last week
by Auditor Payne, but on account of the
vague provisions of the act of Congress the
Commissioners decided not to issue the
drawback certificates provided for until the
sentiment of Congress had been expressed
The obstacle seems TO be allowances made
for loss Of good wll'' sustained by the
claimants, and iii held by the Commission
ers that good will'' is not physicalinjury
of property, and therefore not worthy Of
remuneration.
Commissioner Wight talked with different
members and Senators, and it is quite prob
able that no further steps viii be taken in
the matter of adjudication until the wishes
OF Congress have been made known.
