IHE STAMP COLLECTOR.

The clerk in Washington who amused
his leisure hours by selling thousands
Of dollars worth of postage due" and
'periodical' stamps seems to have
slipped through the meshes of the law
in some mysterious way.
Another real-estate stamp deal
has been consummated, this time in
Philadelphia. One man had lot of
ground, valued at $4,000, and the other
man had lot of stamps, valued at the
same figure. 1t was an even exchange,
and each man appears to be satisfied
with his end of it.
During the first IS years since the in

ELEPHANTS ROLLED ABOARD.
How the Big Beasts Embarked on 9
steamboat at q Chicago Wharf.

now the Big Beasts Embarked on q
Steamboat at Chicago Wharf.
A group of elephants made up the
cargo which was shipped for Milwau-
kee the other day on the steamer City
of Fremont. 1t is seldom that such IA
consignment of freight is shipped on
the lake boats, and the stevedores do
not banker to handle such shipment.
1T knocks all the poetry out of the life
on the rolling wave to tackle the cir
Gus elephant and drag him over the
gangPlank by the tusks.
There were five elephants in the
party. When they arrived at the docks
the question arose as to how they were
to be loaded. They were too tall to
walk aboard the steamer in the low
gangway, and the sailors were not
husky enough to wheel them on board
Had they been anything but trained
elephants they would have had to swim
TO the Cream City or else go by land.
The captain of the steamer was in
clined to believe that he had contracted
for an impossible undertaking, as the
animals were not sufficiently skillful
to climb rope ladder to the upper
deck. He was sorcly disappointed, as
his ambition had always been to haul
mcnagerie out on the pillows, and then
he could use them to trim the vessel
But the trainer was not so easily dis
couraged. lie knew his beasts better
than the captain did, and was, there
fore, equal to the occasion. He ordered
the smallest of the troupe 10 lie down
on the gangplarlh, and the animal com
piled without whimper The ele
plant was then asked to roll on board
which command was also obeyc6
promptly. The monster brute madt
but two revolutions and found himself
bound for Milwaukee.
In telling of the novel occurrence one
of the dockmen said
eve got them On board safely by
rolling them down the gangplank, but il
was tight squeeze for the two biggest.
When the steamer felt the weight OF
the elephants on one side she listed
some, but was properly trimmed at
last, when the keeper ordered them to
lie down amidships. They did as they
were bid without making any bones
about it. l suppose they thought they
were going back to Africa. I've seer
horses make more trouble than those
elephants did when being loaded"
When the boat got well under way
and felt the swell of the water as the
east winds blew, the elephants proved
themselves good sailors, and trumpcted
their delight. They looked out at the
broad waste of seaand sky, and watched
the distant sails with as much interest
as the two-legged passengers above
them did.
The smallest one, however, when the
city had long been left behind, felt
somewhat uncasy. He rubbed his pom
derous stomach with his trunk, and de-
ivered a shrill trumpeting sound,
which drowned out the sound of the big
whistle. The captain tried to make
dlcker for the animal, as he said that
his vocal strength far exceeded the
power of the vessels deep-voiced fog

LITMPED THE FARE.

Four soldiers late last night engaged
Chas. johnson, the driver of hack No.
IS from the Washington theatre, TO
carry them to the upper post, Fort
Sam Houston. When they were near
the post three of them gave him the
old trick of jumping out of the hack
while it was in motion. When he dis
covered his loss he returned to the
Sunset depot to complain to an officer
when he found M. j. Connant one of
the four asleep in his hack. He drove
him to police headquarters and the
luckless soldier was locked up on a
charge of drunk and disorderly
This morning the recorder fined him
five dollars, but later reconsidered and
RENTED the fine, upon hearing that
the soldier was detailed on the map
making expedition which left today
However he did not go on the expedi'
ton, another man being selected IL
his stead before he returned to thu
post.

In a walk ? Not with Galveston.
Nobody walks with that gang. oh,
the company is desirable enough, but
they are little too fast to walk, that's
all. There are none of them too fast
for the Bronchos, however, for quick
work is right in our line.
For clean, sharp fielding, yesterdays
game is not to be surpassed. Although
there were five errors in the game
and that's all there really were-the
fielding of both sides was beautiful.
Both teams hit hardin fact, Calves
to hit harder and oftener than our
boys-but the Bronchos' superb work
in the field won the game. Looie Knau
at short especially distinguished him
sci by some marvellous work. He had
no less than seven chances-and all
hard ones-and accepted everyone
without even as much as a tumble.
They were all assists" two being dou-
BILE plays to Weber and O'Connor. Win
Clark's work at third was also of a
high order and his throwing was ac-
curate and right to the bag.
At the bat O'Connor carried off the
honors-three hits out of five times up.
The visitors got only six hits off Her
bert, while we found Sparks for nine
safeties, but Herbert's support was
perfect, while Third Baseman Klopf
cost the visitors the first two runs,
which were made in the fourth inning.
Up to that time both sides had ci-
phered. In the fourth Weber went to
first on balls, Keefe flew out to first
on an attempted sacrifice and O'Con-
nor singled past third. Clark then
drove one to short, but Klopf interfer-
ed, and the ball got away, while We
Der and O'Connor came home amid en-
thusiastic applause. The spell was
broken, and we succeeded in shutting
out the visitors in their fourth. Two
to nothing is anybody's game. The
visitors steadied down, and we were re-
tired in the fifth without run or a
hit In the sixth it looked as If the
visitors would yield a run. Klopf
walked to first on balls, and Kid Nance
walked to the plate with his big bat.
The kid is a dangerous hitter and he
wouldn't sacrifice. He tried to hit it
out, and instead drove II to short just
fast enough for nice double play,
Looie was the boy to do it-only anoth-
er illustration of the advantage of a
sacrifice with a runner on first and
none out. Huston went out from
pitcher to first and again the Sand
Crabs failed to score.
1t continued this way until the last
inning, when Kid Nance got the hit he
needed in the sixth inning. 1t was a
drive to deep center and Nance reached
third on it. He scored on Huston's
single, after which the visitors were
quickly retired.
