Lockhart Comedy Elephants.
A Marvellous Feature With Ringing Bros BIZ
Show.


In adding the marvellous Lockhart
comedy elephants TO their already stu
pendous enterprise Ringing Bros. have
offered to the American public novelty
that has created more genuine interest
than any event in the amusement world
during the past half century. None of
the familiar tricks and numbering, I'M
calmly acts performed by other ele-
plants are included in their repertoire.
They are literally animal actors. They
present complete comedies, properly cos
tuned and with appropriate scenic eff
fects, and they perform their artistic
work with sense Of its value and an
appreciation of its humor such as no
human comedian could surpass. In one
OF their ludicrously funny comedies,
the clown elephant becomes intoxicated,
and, Keeling about apparently in the last
stages of inebriation is apprehended by
an elephant policeman, armed with a
great club, and marched away to the
office Of the nearest magistrate. This
legal dlgnitary, ensconced III his high
judicial chair, and gowned and be-
wigged as BELTS his high office, sits in
judgment upon the offender, and hav-
ing heard the evidence and wisely pom
dered upon the enormity of the offence,
declares in unmistakable pantomime
that the culprit is guilty and is commit
ted to Jail. The policeman elephant i'm
mediately acts upon the orders of the
court, seizes the commitment papers,
catches the offender, now fully sobered,
by the ear, and hustles him off to Jail.
All the actors in this Imaginable comedy
are elephants. Not a word of command
is spoken and so we'll have the ele-
plant comedians learned their difficult
lesson that they never falter for mo-
ment in their unspoken lines. The police
court scene is, however, only one Of
several intensely amusing comedies per-
formed by these elephant actors, and, in
addition, they present a complete vaude-
Nl4lt pIbSldLillAiN' CllAbA hNlhS JiS buhNlhE,
waltzing, playing on musical instru-
ments, intricate military evolutions and
other feats that are creditable only TO
those who have actually seen these
marvellous elephants comedians. Ring
ling Bros, stupendous institution will
exhibit in Alma, Friday, Aug 10, when
Lockhart's famous comedy elephants
and hundreds of other wonderful arenic,
geologic and hippodromic features will
be presented here for the first time

Revival of the InquisitiOn.

Senator Thurston is his recent sneecb

vehemence his horror of Spain, writes
Edgar Saltus in Golfers Weekly. In
the address of Senator Gallinger.
which preceded it, as well as that of
Senator Proctor, there was less vehe-
mence, perhaps, but the horror was as
marked. To these gentlemen it was
abomlnable that Spain be allowed to
act as she has. But when has she not?
The butchery which has been going on
IN Cuba is but the continuance of
practice, not immemOrial perhaps,
but sufficiently historic. 1t lacks the
pomp of the auto-da-fe, it lacks, too.
the smoke of the fagOt. Otherwise it
is the same thing, the determination
OF those whose views differ from her
own, the policy of the Inquisition. The
birth of that institution occurred in
Provence. 1t originated in the heresv
known as that of the Albigenses. The
Duke of Burgundy set out to destroy
1t. The problem arose how the here
tics were to be told from the ortho-
dox. The duke solved it in minute.
Deciding God would know his own, he
killed everybody. The simplicity of
the proceeding appealed to Spain.
There were a number of Jews there.
There were also a number of Moors.
Of both perhaps a million. They were
not wanted. Torquemada, Ferdinand
V. aiding, saw to it that they went
Under penalty of communication, it
was forbidden to supply them with
anything, to give them even bread.
AT first they were permitted to leave
the country provided they left their
possessions behind. The majority of
those not starved to death were, Lilo
rento says, garrOtados y quemados,
strangled and burned to death. The
oven at CordOVa is legendary. The
condemned marched up in files. The
people sat about and applauded them
to die. 1t was a festival, function
like the bull-fght, one in which the
crowd delighted. The utility of it
being proved, it was maintained. Pres
emily it was exported. Wherever Spain
appeared so did the Inquisition. She
established it in Mexico, in Peru, all
through South America, and in the
Philippines. Abolished sixty or sew
enty years ago, it took Weyler to re-
vive it. The garrote and the fagot
have been lost on the way, but method
which Senator Thurston denounced
are otherwise as effective.

The Delaware National Volunteers.

Another evidence of the nearness we
are to war is the fact that authorities
are aroused and the TIMES Office hasre-
cieved from Gov. Tunnel quantity of
membership blanks for the National
Volunteer Reserve, the object of which
was stated in these colmns last
week. The blanks are at this office and
will be given to any who desire them.
The object is to encourage the enrol
ment of volunteer reserves and the
Governor asks that all good citizens
consider the matter, as he would like
to see as large an enrolment as possi-
BILE from this State. After the blanks
are filed out they should be sent the

The Democrats in Congress are
ready to vote the government all the
money that will be needed to thor
oughly thrash Spain, even to the
extent of an issue of from $780,
100000 to $5OO,OOO,O 900 in coin
bonds, but they have made it plain to
the schemers who have been sounding
Congress on the subject that even if
every gun owned by Spain were train
ed upon the Capitol building, in
easy range, they would refuse to vote
for the issue of one single gold bond.
