ROPE SKIPPING.
The Famous Watts Has Not Yet Entered
the Contest.


Messrs. Woods and Murphy are the
only entries to the rope skipping con-
test, the famous Waits not yet having
been heard from. If the LOndOncr does
mot enter the match Wills take place
just the same, probably some time in
February.
A committee of enthusiasts informed
the Standard yesterday that John Mar
ion, formerly of Scranton. Pa. has
been in the city for some time endeav-
SOring to arrange a loop skipping match
with Billy Woods, but. they say, Woods
would not consider the proposition. The
following card was yesterday received
fn this office, signed by J. 4. Bradford,
Ed Padden, Mike Lafy Michael Rock,
David Kelly and John Gleason:
Mr. John Marion, formerly Of the
high works, Scranton, Pa. has been
endeaVoring to got up match with
mir. Woods, the celebrated loop Jump
er, who has been performing at the
Casino, and has several times offered
to put up $50. but Woods would not
show him any recognition. We. par
ty of Marion's friends, hope that Woods
may yet be induced to accept the Of
fer
Billy Woods could not be found yes
tfrday, therefore his views on the
above matter are not ohtaina Bile. It is
specifically stated. however, in the ar
ticles governing the pending contest
that no one is barred from entering.
Mr.. Marion could probably get salts
faction by enlisting in the match now
being arranged.

Elephants Teeth.

From the Humane Alliance.
Elephants have no front teeth, and
they never eat flesh, or any food that
REQUIRES tearing apart, Eight teeth are
all they have. two above and below
on each side, huge yellow molars as
wide as a mans hand, and about two
inches thick.
over these hay or fodder is shifted
by the queerest, ugliest tongue in the
whole animal kingdom. tongue that
is literally hung at both ends. having
no power or movement except in the
middle where it shifts back and forth
from side to side, archng up against
the roof Of the big mouth like an i'm
mCnse Wrinkled pink serpent.
There is nothing stranger than the
working of an elephants tongue. I'M
less it be the working of his breathing
apparatus when he sleeps.
Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets of teeth-the milk teeth, which
are smaller than the permanent
molars, fall out when the animals are
about IA years old.
These baby teeth, which are never
theless, enormous are occasionally
picked up by circus men among the
fodder, and preserved as curiosities.

ESTABLISHED AN Al |B|
The Grocery Store of Crowley
& Holland Attached.
PROPRIETORS ARE MISSING
The Books Cannot Be Found--The Own
ers of the Business Are Supposed
to Be in Idaho-All the
Stock Attached.

Quin L. Crowley and Stephen N. Hol-
land did, up to about the It'll of this
month. conduct grocery business in
Centerville under the firm name of
Crowley & Holland. Since that date
they have succeeded in establishing an
alibi Their stock of groceries, fix
lures, etc, were attached by A. F.
Bray of this city. The account was
assigned to Harry w. Richards, Bray's
bookkeeper, and the levy was ordered
by Richards, who, among others was
cited to appear before Referee Camp
bell of the United States bankruptcy
court to tell what he knew about the
business. There are other creditors of
the defunct concern, and there is also
a conviction existing in the minds of
many that the company kept set of
books of account. and these are also
missing, as well as Crowley and Hol-
land themselves.
Mr.. Richards testified that he di
rected the sheriff's office to levy the at
tachment. He said that he told the Off
Ger to attach everythi~-. in sight; but
he did not know whether or not the
company kept books and did not know
where the members of the company
We're. He had. however understood
that the company employed woman
DOOkKeepef, OUT ola not KNOW nef
name.
A. F. Bray also testified that Crowley
had once told him that the company
was in good condition financially. and
that Holland kept the books Mr. Bray
explained that as Richards attended to
his outside business and collections. he
usually assigned such accounts to him
for collection by process of law. He
did not know where Crowley and Hol-
land We're.
Martin Gilligan. secretary of the Gro
Gerry association and collector. was also
cited to appear. He had had dealings
with the firm: had collected accounts
for it, but did not know anything about
their books or where the men We're
Lyman Hall, an attorney, testified
that he went with the sheriff's Officer
to the store when the stock was at
tached. Mr.. Holland was in the stora
at the time and he understood him to
say to the officer that the company
This is all I've got. Let the creditors
kept no books. He heard Holland say:
have it. I have nothing now but the
clothes on my back" He had not seen
the return on the attachment made to
the sheriff.
1t is believed that both Crowley and
Holland are somewhere in Idaho. The
matter will be more thoroughly investi-
gated by Referee Campbell.

TELLS ANOTHER STORY
Mrs. Schneider Says Her Hus-
band Abused Her.
HE TREATED HER CRUELTY
She Has but One Arm and She Allege
That He Made Her Take in Wash
ing-Threatened Her With
knife and Beat Her.

Jacob Helfenstein and Mrs. John
Schneider. who were arrested Tuesday
on complaint of Mrs. SChneider's hus-
band, told a story to the county at
torney yesterday that will probably end
in a dismissal of the case when it
comes up for trial, as it puts very
different phase on the matter and
places Schneider in a bad light. The
woman said her husband had treated
iher cruelty. had beaten her and thrown
her out of the house, and on one 0c-
casion he had threatened to kill her.
and she believes he would have done
so if some one had not interfered and
taken a knife away from him. Mrs.
Schneider is One-armed woman and
says that Notwithstanding her cOndi-
rion. her husband compelled her to take
in washing to earn living. His cruel
treatment of her became SO bad that
in fear of her life, she had to go to
her brother for protection. and was
there because of that when her hus-
iband. through malice, caused their ar
rest. Mrs. Schneider also said her hus-
band had served a term of six years in
the penitentiary a Deer Lodge for our
glary.

Sucz Canal and the Pessimists,

From the Engineering Magazine.
1t was shown that from an engineer
ing point of view the Suez canal was
impossible. while from commercial
point of view it was proved, up to the
hilt. that, even if the canal could be
made. it would, 50 far as traffic went
he failure as melancholy to the phil
anthropist. as it would be disastrous to
the inventor.
The great authorities who spoke with
50 much assurance are all dead; and
it is well for their comfort that they
are.
In 1869 traffic between the West ana
tn" East via the Cape of Good Hone
was about 3,500000 tons. In 1897 the
traffic through the Suez canal was
'NAh.9Hl tons, while that round the
cape Of Good Hope was at least $780,
600 tons
In other words, one direct result of
IN" construction Of the Suez canal has
hrcn that in IS years the commerce. of
the world has been increased 5000, 600
tons annually.

that knew how could cut into about

well, says the man, I want to get

tomorrow morning. or this morning,
rather, at so-and-so, at 10 O'Clock.

in 10 minutes: but l said yes, | could
open it, l thought
well, now says the man, you

You certainly are a handy man
with tools. eh?' says the man and
then he asked me to look through the
safe and see that there was no money
in it. which was quite right. There
wasn't any. You'd have got nothing,
says the man. But you've saved me
lot of bother and trouble he says,
getting those papers for me in time
and I want to pay you for it. How
much do you think I ought to give
you?'
And 7 said I'd leave that to him.
How much do you make day?
he says.
And I told him my earnings varied:
that sometimes I made nothing AMI
sometimes I made a good deal, but |
thought I didn't average more than
$50 a day. He seemed to have his own
ideas about that too; but he handed
me over a 20-dollar note, and said the
work was worth it to him.
and then he escorted me to the
door. And he didn't ask me to come
back nor threaten nor warn nor any
thing: he knew that my knowledge
of his habits about money insured him
from any further visits from me, as
far as that was concerned. and he
wasted no words over it. He Just let
me out the door and didn't even say
good night.
Courteous things happen in my bust
ness? Yes, they do, sure: no doubt
about it. A man may go for days and
weeks and nothing whatever happen;

there is to it, but when anything does
