HAGENBACK's WILD ANIMALS.
War in Africa Interferes With His
Plans.
Especial Correspondence.

BUFFALO On. ", Oct. 22.-It has
probably not occurred to a half dozen
men on the Western Continent that
the war which the doughty old Pau
Kruger is at present attempting to
wage against that great mailed knight,
Great Britain, in the Transvaal could
possibly have any effect upon the Pan
American Exposition which is TO be
held in the city of Buffalo in the sum-
mer months of the year 1901, but Car.
Hagenback, the greatest animal pur-
veyor and tanner in the world, was
caller at the office of Chairman
Bleistein of the Publicity Department
a day or SO ago, and he was much wor-
ried at the possibilities.
Mr.. Hagenback, who is venerable
gentleman, resembling very much the
lamented Lincoln, had, as many people
know, the greatest collection of wild
beasts exhibited at Chicago during the
Worlds Columbian Exposition that the
world has ever seen. His great 20
illogical gardens at Hamburg, Ger
many, are the wonder of the animal
world and the despair of circus men
and geological garden curators, for
there he has thousands and thousands
of wild beasts from the interior OF
Africa, South America, and, in fact,
from every spot on the globe where
the untamed original inhabitant is wont
to roam.
Besides the thousands that he has
at those great gardens he keeps con-
stantly in his employ the bravest
hunters of the Allan Quatermain type
I tnf ScS g. OF
ploy. From January to December of
each year these fearless men, accom-
panied by bands of trusty blacks, scour
the jungles and plains of Africa, catch
ing lions, tigers, elephants hippopo-
tami, rhinoceri, and all the savage an
| imals and venomous serpents which
abound in the Dark Continent, and
shiploads of these hard caught speci-
mems are transported to Germany and
! there placed in the gardens of this
mammoth purveyor of rare animals.
The circuses of the world buy from
him, and the geological gardens of the
universe would go out of business were
he to stop collecting.
| And now Dom Paul and Joseph
Chamberlain have stepped in, and in
the very heart of Hagenback's collec-
ton territory they have started war
| that promises to be one of the bloodiest
and bitterly contested in history, and
Mr.. Hagenback is worried in conse-
quence.
Il must hurry back to Germany and
! get in immediate communication with
my men in Africa" said the venerable
gentleman Friday, when urged by the
management of the exposition to re-
main week. II had intended when L
sailed TO spend some months in Amer
lea, but the affairs over there have put
so bad light upon my affairs that
must hurry back. / want to place with
the Pan-American the greatest show
ever seen in the animal line. and
hope to get a collection of 1,500 or
even 1000 animals from the wilds OF
Africa for the show. I want herd of
elephants, dozens of great forest lions
The record-union., 1899-10-24

and hundreds of other specimens, and
though l have many magnificent speci-
mems at home at the present time. I
had hoped to send a couple of ship
loads from Africa especially for the
fair of 1901. If the war between the
British and the Beers continues, and
at present it looks as though it would
be long-fought and a bitter contest.
there will be little probability of my
being able to get any specimens in
Africa. and still less chance of being
able to get them safely away from any
of the seaports.''
Mr.. Hagenback's words were a sur
prise to his listeners. All had figured
that the war between the British and
the Beers was so far away that it was
merely an interesting detail to read
about in the dispatches. but the thought
that it could in any way mar the great
| project in which all were so much in
terested had not before entered the
| head of a single man present.

Last evening an electric wire set fire
to the cloth and paper booth in the

the Buffalo Brewing Company at the

HISTORIC OLD Z. TOWN.
For Years Cumberland Was the Out
post Of Civilization.
Now 1t Il Busy City, But Material
Progress Has Not Robbed 1t of
Its Truly Picturesque En-
virOnments.

Especial Cumberland (Md.) letter.
The national capital is surrounded
with summer resorts, many of them by
the seashore and many others in the
mountains.
There is no more beautiful, attractive,
healthful and entertaining resort along
the Blue ridge than this historic place.
For many years, in fact until the close
OF the revolutionary war, this was the
outpost of civilization. Fort Cumber-
land was named after the duke of Cum
berland, who was the communicating
chief of the military forces of Great
Britain. Upon the site of Fort Cum
berland to-day there stands an Episco-
pal church which is model of ecclesi-
astical architecture. ..,..-
1t was from this point that Gen. Brad
dock marched forth with his splendid
army to meet defeat and death near
Connellsville, Pa, and back to this
. point Col. George Washington success
fully conducted the surviving members
OF that unfortunate expedition. Upon
the advance and upon the retreat they
marched through the "Narrows," a
rugged mountain defle and gap, both
sides of which indicate that by some
CONFUSION of nature the backbone of
the mountain range was broken, and
that through the gorge there must have
rushed some mighty torrent full thou
sand feet in depth, because the rugged
assures of the rocky walls until this
day manifest evidences of the work of
the water.
He is fortunate who can have oppor-
tunity to visit this historic place, en-
joy the scenery, and remain for rest,
recreation and healthful recuperation.

have made Cumberland and the

The .sNarrows," Wills creek and
Wills mountain have ever had attrac-

bearing near the verge of veneration.
Especially may this be said Of that part
of the scene lying to the right as we
stand at the entrance of the ''Narrows"
looking westward, and which bears the
name of Wills mountain, or as it has
been named of late, "Baehr's heights"
Many of those who are not at life's

subsequent to the civil war, in the time
of their youth and early manhood, they
climbed to the summit and visited the

rock. Here for some years had been ac-
cumulated the missives which had been
deposited by the more venturesome of
the visitors. This collection, however,
has been destroyed, but among them
was found an effusion, evidently writ
ten by bibulous creature, which has
been preserved in one of the local news
papers. It runs as follows: 1T is
sweet to climb this hill; IT'S sweet to
have this view; but sweeter, better
still, afterward to drink your fill of

Element of this section of Maryland a

Some 20 years ago, however, German

hut near the cliffs and worked for sew

in making other improvements. He
