company,a heavy stock holder and director,
is dead. Mr.. Andrews was born in Boston
Jan. 20, 1884. and after his graduation from
the English high school began his Journal
istc career in the office of the New York
Pathfinder, a weekly journal, as assistant
editor. He was then II years old. In 1852,
ut the age of IL, he began his service on
The Herald as a compOsitor, and in January,
1855, was promot ID to the position of re-
porter. In the following year, the owner
ship OF the paper was vested in Mr.. Z. G.
Bailey, and Mr.. Andrews was retained in his
former capacity.
In 1857 Mr.. Andrews and his brother JUS
tin were entrusted with the management OF
affairs, and by their efforts the circulation
and the general tone Of The Herald were
greatly improved. The reportorial force
was increased, more attention was paid to
the editorial columns, news from suburban

the course OF the paper was onward
and upward, the result of the efforts of the

concern. During this time Mr.. Justin An
drews and Mr.. Bailey had disposed of their
interests to the three other partners and re-
tired from the firm. In the latter part OF
1888 Mr.. Andrews sold his interest in The
Herald, but upon its reorganization as a
stock company resumed his interest, and re-
manned stakeholder and director until his
death, the new organization having for its

gave his whole life, interfering little with
the management Of the other departments.
He was genial, generous, compapipnable,
and the printers respected him because hs
knew their craft from the foundation up.
His home life was irrcproachable. For the
last live months he had been confined to his
house with lesion OF the liver, which
finally killed him.

AN ELEPHANT DUEL.



KILLED by Human Hunters.
Hearing sounds that indicated seri-
our trouble in shed of wild elephants
on the Upper Congo river, II native
hunter named Keema and n sportsman
named Robard fled precipitately to a
tree near by.
"They had scarcely reached their
pcrchcs when II second division of the
herd come rushing down the path
which the men had just left, shrieking
and trumpeting in anger and fear.
The tree shook as the tornado of brutes
swept by. On the left the shrieking
was varied with cracking and lashing
as of ropes against mast. keema
climbed higher in his tree, and through
break in the forest discovered the
cause Of the trouble. In an open
space two bull elephants were fight
ing. One of them was II leader of the
herd, the other IN old warrior bull
tramp who hal lost tusk.
So II is the rogue llunga, whispered
kccma, and he will kill the other
beauty no use to try to stop him.
1.-The hunters watched for chance
to fire rs the brlltes drew back little
and sprang together with lowered
heads and big ears outsprcad, the
skulls coming together with stunning
force. On recovering, they came to-
gether again, rising on their hind legs
and striking down with their tusks as
with sword, shrieking with rage,
and using their trunks like whip
lashes. The men came from the tree
and drew near to the fight through the
bushes.
So Shoot the lear said Keema, it
is no use to try for the other
"Then it dawned on Robard that
the savage deemed the wanderer an
evil spirit not to be tried for, since it
possessed magic power. The men
came into sight of the leader of the
herd behind Ilunga, as the native
called him, and the beast drew back
startled at the sight of deadier
enemy than the wandering bull. The
shrinking of the leader gave the tramp
a chance, and, like fencer he gave II
sharp thrust with his tusk. The
lender staggered, but shot behind
Ilunga's ear killed the other elephant.
The leader leaned forward as if to
rush to attack Robard, who had fired,
but Keema was just behind the ele-
plant, and with keen, heavy knife
hamstrung the beast with single blow,
disabling it. A bullet above the eye
finished the creature. Outing.

Indians in Ball.

The most recent contract signed by
the Cleveland Base Ball club intro
duces to the National League the first
Indian as professional player. Sock
alexis the newest Spider, is a full
blooded aboriginal. The American
Indian always had love for games of
ball, and the most expert lacrosse
players on this continent are of that
race. There is every reason why In
dians should be good ball players. As
rule, they are swift-footed, natural
athletes, who need little training to
get into the "pink of conditions" and
are noted for their acute cyesight.
These qualities go far toward giving a
ball player success on the diamond.
Base ball to the Indians is as yet a
venture, but within the last year he
has demonstrated that in other games,
especially foot ball, he has the power
to give his Caucasian brother a ''run
for the money" The success achieved
last season by the Carlisle foot ball
eleven against some of the strongest
college teams of the East demonstra-
ted the fact that these descendants of
the former lords of the forest, if given
equal opportunities, would in few
years take the foot ball champion
ship from their white competitors. 1t
is only the advantage which the big
college teams have of selecting players
from greater numbers which gives
them their present superiority. What
the red race will do in base ball re-
mains to he seen. If Sockalexis
achieves any success with the Cleve-
land team, he will undoubtedly open
the gates of the profession to others of
his people. Sporting Life.
