every morning on the 8:30train. I don't

IN town. He just radiates cheerful
ness as far as you can see him. There

Elephant Conedians

Lockhart's eleph q comedians
which will be seen with Ringing
Bro others circus when that famous
big show exhibits in Little Falls,
Saturday July q, are undo ub tedly
the most remarkable trained troupe
OF animal performers in the world.
Lockhart's elephants have been the
most pronounced sensation OF Eu-
rope for Iseveral seasons, and the
amount of money paid by the Ring
ling Brothers to. bring this wonder
full troupe Of animals to America
would be sufficient to equip and in
definitely operate a dozen good-sized
circuses. These elephants are not
simply TRAINED animals" They
are veritable animal actors, display
ing as much good sense and judy
ment, as great an appreciation of
the humor Of their several roles and
as sincere a desire to please and en-
terrain the audience, as any human
performer in the great exhibition.
Probably the most amusing comedy
presented by these elephant actors is
one portraying the arrest, trial, con-
viction and Incarceration OF an ele-
phantfor intoxication. The spectacle
OF the clown elephant, rolling from
side to side, apparently in the
sportive stage of intoxication, is
ludicrous in the extreme In the
midst of his revelry, the policeman
arrives, armed cap-a-pie with a huge
official helmet and jauntly twirling
club in his trunk. The offending
elephant attempts to escape, but the
policeman is too quick for him. The
offender is seized by the ear, marched
away to the magistrates Office,
solemnly tried and sentenced by an
elephant Judge sitting in his judicial
dignity upon his judicial bench, and
finally hurried away, a condemned
prisoner, to suffer durance in the ele-
plant jail. The Lockhart elephants
are, however. only one OF three
trOupes of elephant actors. They
are an English Importation. From
Germany comes Herr Sonder's Won
derful elephantine brass band. In
credible as it may seem this COM
pany of proboscidian musicians not
only play upon huge helican horns,
but they actually master a popular
air in a way only possible to such a
mammoth tWenty-ton band. France
is represented in this triumvirate OF
elephantine wonders by Marchand's
pugilistic pachyderms. a company OF
clever elephants carefully schooled in
the manly art of self-defense. In
every kind OF trained animal exhibi.
ton, in the size and completeness OF
it's geological collection, in the mum
Der of the high.class performers, in
the hippodrome, and in the magnifi
cence of it's professional displays
Ringing Brothers famous circus is
without rival on earth.

Rumors of Eagan,s Wealth.

When General Eagan was giving his
testimony at the court-martial in Wash
ington his attorney asked him If he had
ever received any profit or benefit out OF
the large contracts he let for army sup
plies. The general answered: mo, on my
honor and before God, not cent of profit
did I ever receive; and yet my office dis
bursed millions of dollars: and I am now
so poor that cannot even pay your fee. -
1t would seem from the foregoing state
ment that General Eagan is almost pow
erty stricken, or at least he desires that
impression to go abroad There are men
in this city who could never be convinced
that General Eagan is a bankrupt. His
son, Charles E. Eagan, is reputed to be
quite wealthy. He Is treasurer of the
Olaa Coffee Plantation Company, an enor-
mously wealthy corporation, owning sew
eral thousand acres of fertile land In the
vicinity of Hilo, Hawaii. Young Egan is
said to be one of the heaviest owners OF
stock in the company.
Rumor has it that General Eagan re-
ceived 100000 not long ago from wealthy
California bonanza king. The general is
said to have invested the money in his
wife's name in coffee plantation in
Hawaii

was the rather unexpected decision of
the court:

Beerstecher asked that the defendant
/ be admitted to ball. which was opposed
by Bell Here the court again found
an opportunity to make a faux pas,
and did not neglect it.
Under the decision of the Supreme
Court" said his Honor, Il refuse to ad-
init Mr.. Walters to bail 1 am for it,
but l am obliged to do it according to
law, although as Mr.. Bradford l be-
1eye the man ought to go free"
Ih1s caused murmuring in the court
room, and the Justice endeavored to
relnstate himself in the good opinion of
( his hearers.
NO, don't mean that" he quickly
added. L take those last words back"
The commitment was duly made out
and Walters was returned to his cell.
After court adjourned Attorney Beer
stecher said he would Immediately be-
