Elephant Brass Band.

An elephant brass banda musical
organization composed entirely Of
probOScidlans-this is the latest train.
ed animal sensation introduced by the
famous Ringing Brothers, sole pro.
prietors and managers of the Worlds
greatest shows. There are five of
these big, unwieldy elephantine wind.
jabbers, and the way they blow great,
blue blasts out of their long helicOn
horns is a caution to the musical
fraternity. Their repertoire is not an
extensive one, but they have so far
mastered the intricacies OF musical
notation as to render "Comin'
Through the Rye" with such a thun-
derouS volume of sound as to rattle
neighboring windows and cause the
lions aud tigers to roar protest in a
deep feline bass. But the real point
the act illustrates, and which in Itself
excltes wonder, is the fact that ele-
plants can play music and, incident
ally, that their lung power IS several
hundred times greater than that OF
the largest circus band, even when
playing double fortissimO passages.
Herr Souder, the trainer of this
twenty-one ton brass band, is a Ger
man. WhObut a German would have
the patience to work out such a gro.
tesque musical conception? When e
conceived the idea Herr SOuder's first
experiment was to find out an ele-
plants lung power, For this pur-
pgse he secured a lung tester, and i'm.
DicviSed a mOuthpiece which enabled
the animal TO Uiow lnGu the machine.
The result fully satisfied the trainer
a. to an elephants wind.furnishing
capacity The Indicator climbed up
10 the top notch 10 twinkling, and
then the mechanism gave way under
the pressure Of the fOur-t0n beast, and
collapsed. From that moment the
elephant brass band became adistinct
future possibility, which is realized 10
the funny elephant band which will
be one Of the many great feature,
with Ringing Brothers great show

day, October 10. Souder's elephant
bIass band is not, however, the only
remarkably trained elephant act with
this great show. L3ckharl's elephant
comedians and Marchand's pugilistic
pachyderms vie with the elephantine
musicians in sensational iGterest.
Another notable clever trained animal
novelty is 0'Brien's famous sixty-One
hlrse act. The areniC part Of the
show is bewilderiDgly comprehensive.
The greatest American and European
aerialists and acrObats, the most SEN

riders, keep the three rings, double
stages and aerial spaces in constant
kaleidoscope motion. The free street

Among the many comments upon
De"ey'S unexpected arrival 10 New

than this from the 81. James Ga
zette: admiral Dewey must have
heard rumOrs Of the reception prepa'-
ing for him, and very probably drew
his own conclusions as to their ap-
prnpriateness. Whatever tue nation,
which is totally unaccustOmed W

Atkinson was appointed in 1871 by Secre-
tary Chandler. Since that time he has
served each successive Secretary of the
Navy. He says day never passes with
out bringing some cranks to the Secre-
tary's office. Atkinson says that of all
the men he has served Secretary Whitney
had the greatest power of discerning
scoundrels, and never once was he mis-
taken.
"On one occasion" he said. "a man
came to me and demanded an audience

the time. He insisted in a very indig-
nant manner and /, thinking he must

something inaudible. WhereupOn the Sec
retary, with another searching look, said,
