Explorer Cavendish's Thrilling Escape
From Death In Africa.
From the London News.
II. s. III. C~avendish gave an interest
ing account of his recent trip to Africa
before the Royal Geographical society.
Among the incidents he related was the
following account of "a fight with q
wounded elephant. i'm which ne narrow

II tried to lodge him. hut he was too
quick for me. and as l neared the thin
mimosa bush / saw him just over me
with his trunk in the air, SO l threw
myself to the left on my face and kept
still. thinking that the elephant might
go on. He, however. stopped immedi-
ately and. spinning around. knelt down
behind me, with his head right over me-.
and took a drive at me with his tusks.

me under with his trunk and tried to

ers. who were shooting and shouting

ment he lay on me n / expected

SAFE BEHIND IRON DOORS.

Protected Prom Thieves.
1t is generally accepted as a fact that
the most expensive and elaborate tab
ernacle for the services in this country
is that belonging to St. Augustine's
church, Brooklyn. Formed entirely or
gold and silver and studded with pre-
cious stones, IL would prove a rich haul
for the daring but s~atrilegious maraud-
err. This fact was fully appreciated by
the church authorities, who have de-
vised a plan of protection which is as
near perfect as can be. 1t Is an cleo
trio system. unique and effective. and
now when the congregation arrives the
tabernacle Is in full view. but as soon
as the congregation is dismissed the
tabernacle disappears completely, APP
parently without human aid.

FULLERTON WINS.
The Jury Returns n Verdict in His
Favor.

Favor.
Great Falls, March 20.-The Jones'
Fullerton case is settled at last, n
settled in a manner which seems, to
judge from comments. to be eminently
satisfactory to the public. The jury
was charged by the court yesterday
evening and sent to their supper. The
general expectation on the street was
tina they would not be absent more
than Is minutes after they returned to
the jury room, but when the evening
wore away and they had not sent in
word of an agreement, II began to be
feared that they would not draw the
same conclusions from the testimony
as the public. Finally Judge Leslie
called them n the court room and
instructed them that If they arrived at
a verdict at any time during the night
they might seal IL and deliver II to the
court at IL o'clock this morning, the
court being empowered especially to
receive verdicts on Sunday, though
that day is a non-judicial one.
At 1850 o'clock they found a verdict
and turned II over to the officer of
morning at the prescribed hour, and it
made Fullerton a free man. Really
II was an acquittal more than a civil
Judgment. for had the jury found a ver-
dict for the plaintiff. no matter had 1t
been only for 81 and costs. a criminal
charge would have beer preferred
and Fullerton would have run the risk
of losing not only a large sun of
money. but his freedom. The jury was
polled and eight said yes and four said
no, showing hat the defendant had

Charity Received Many Dollars
From a Charming Entertainment.

Charity Received Many Dollars
From a Charming Entertainment.
An entertainment that easily claims
rank with the best amateur presentations
that Savannah has recently seen was
given last night at Masonic Hall. A large
audience derived the keenest enjoyment
from the rise of the curtain until its fall
The proceeds are to be devoted to char
ity. These were so considerable that sew
eral deserving persons will be greatly ben
Gifted through the efforts of those who
so highly entertained their audience.
The opening number of the programme
gave promise in its excellence of those
that were to follow. This was the recita-
ton of "Bingen on the Rhine" which was
delivered with excellent dramatic and
evolutionary effect by Mr.. Catherwood.
Following this came the first perform
ance of the Mandolin and Guitar Club,
consisting of Messrs Clarence Connerat
Stoddard, c. d. Melton, Charlie Wake
man, Fred Saussy and Frank Papy. These
young gentlemen always have their selec-
tons received with every evidence of
pleasure, and those of last night were no
deviation from the rule. Upon the con-
clusion of this and their second response
they were given rousng encores.
1t was announced that Mrs May Silva,
whom the audience was in expectancy of
hearing owing to a severe cold, would be
unable to sing. Two little girls danced the
butterfly dance gracefully and tripped
from the stage amid applause.
The piano solo by Miss Bessie Cooper
was one of the events of the evening The
audience insisted Upon an encore, and this
was rendered no less successfully than the
original number.
A bright and catchy farce comedy was
effectively played by Miss Beckwith, Mr..
Edwin Ryals and Mr.. c. D. Melton. The
talents of each of these are of a high or
der, and the laughable situation in the
short sketch was shown with an under
standing that would have brought joy to
the heart of the author had he been pres

applause, giving the play, "Courtship I'm
der Difficulties" the reception il so richly
deserved.
The next play, though longer was en-
joyed no less than its predecessor. This

moral that one had not to search very
deeply to discover. Its presentation was
excellent, those taking part displaying rare
ability for amateurs. The cast was made
up of Miss Marian Cooper, Mrs. Rollins,
Mrs. Lovelace, Mr.. Green, Mr.. c. d. Mel
ton and Mr. Oemler.
Upon the conclusion of the programme
dancing was INDUCED in until a late hour.
This and the refreshments that were sery-
ed proved a pleasant sequel to the admir-
able presentation of the early evening

THOUGHT HE'D SEEN HIM BEFORE
Recorder Hartridge Remarks to
Nick HangicOs.

Recorder Hartrfdge Hemorks TO
Nick HangicOs.
Nick Hangicos Greek who has kicked
a good many splinters off the floor of the
Police Court room, just in front of Re
corder Hartridges desk, was again in
court yesterday.
Nick's face looked familiar when he
presented himself for trial, ana the judge
said he thought he had seen the prisoner
before.
The charge was fighting with Piano
Dedeno, a Greek who showed that he was
seldom up for any offense. 1t appeared
in the testimony that there were many
more difficult things in the world than
making Hangicos angry. 1t was also ap-
parent that when angry he invariably ex-
pected a fight with the one who provoked
him. Dedeno seems to have used I'm
guage which Nick thought unbecominS,
and a fight followed, in which 1t is charg-
ed Hangicos drew knife
Recorder Hartridge showed that ne OK
pected the prisoner to keep out of court
for time at least. by imposing fine OF
$25.
Hargicos was not foiled by this, however,
as he went to a fruit stand and obtained
the necessary amount, and was released.
