all is that of Carl Hagen
beck. The London News, describing
the great garden where his stock in
trade Is Kept, says that it is crowded
with Wild beasts of every kind; for
MI. Hagenbeck is collector of wild
beast for almost every menagerie in
the world, and has dealings with ev-
cry savage land. When the News
man visited the place, eighteen polar
bears were to be seen in one part of
the grounds, and not far off were
dozen elephants, newly arrived from
India. Half Il dozen condors from
south America We're waiting to be un-
packed, and scores of allgators were
playing together as if in their native
Florida; while lions, tigers and panth,
ers We're slowed away in great num-
bers.
Speaking of the narrow escapes he
had had in the course of his dealings
with wild animals, Mr.. Hagenbec!i
said:
'One or the narrowest was from q
young elephant. We were dispatch-
ing some beasts in vessel and | was
at the dock experimenting their en-
Darkation. A young elephant had been
worried on its journey down. 1t was
tied up with a chain long enough to
permit its moving about somewhat.
and l was standing with my back
to it, near the wooden side of the
compartment.
suddenly, without warning, It
turned and rushed at me. 1t pinned
me to the wall, it's tusks going on
either side of me. My men ran up
and dragged me from between the
tusks, and l tainted away. In a mo-
ment | opened my eyes and told them
to lift me on my feet and see if 1
could stand, for l was afraid my back
was broken. They found l could stand
and l was helped home. The ele-
plants tuslls had just fitted me, graz
Ing the skin on each side, but not
even tearing the flesh"
Another adventure was perhaps
even more dangerous.
1T makes me hot and cold when
recall it," Mr.. Hagenbeck said. "a
case of rattleSnakeS came to me, and
noticing an unpleasant smell, l put
my arms over my face for shade and
peered into the case. | saw that
there was dead snake there.
Just then one of the rattlers jumped
up, and threw itself against the iron
bars i'll an endeavor to get at me,
splitting in its rage. l took no more
notice of it at the time, but next
morning my wife drew my attention
to the sleeve of my coat The sleeve
was covered with a great patch of
Greenish stain, the green crystals glis-
tening on it.
1T was hot summer, and my face
was COY cred with heat eruption.
Had little Of this poison gone on my
face l must inevitably have died the
most horrible of all deaths"
Mr.. HagenDeck was once dragged
through the streets of Suez by a
giraffe that had got free from all it's
ropes except one that was round Mr..
Hagenbeck's body.
In spite of all his adventures, how
ever, he feels at home among his an
imals. Jenny" the walrus, is his
especial pet. She comes clumsily out
of the water when he calls her, and
waddles up to him. She performs on
bells, and can summon attendants to
give her her meals. Her food is an ex-
pensive item, costing nearly four dol
lars every day. 1t must be fish of the
best kind, with no skin or bones. A

EX- GOVERNOR SHEPHERD
A SUGGESTION THAT A STATUE OF
HIM pc ERECTED.
without His Great Work the Recent
Centennial Celebration Could
Not Have Been Made.

The following communication, addressed
to the editor of The Evening Star, has
been received:
''Is not this a good time to revive the
project of erecting statue to Alexander r.
Shepherd, the man to whom We owe all
that we are as a city, and without whom
the grand celebration of December 10 could
not have been? Let us show our sappreci-
alton of the man while he is alive. To this
end l will renew my subscription of $500
made through your paper some five years
ago. j. E. F."
The sentiment of gratitude to Governor
Shepherd expressed above was doubtless
felt by large number of people who par
ucipated in the recent centennial celebra-
ton. Tributes to MIR. Shepherds great
work in the development of the national
capital We're offered in some of the ad-
dresses that were made upon that OCCASION
and il is believed that nearly every COM
mltteeman. when the preparations for the
event were in progress, thought of the
part played by Governor Shepherd in the
regeneration of this District of Columbia
and regretted that he could not be present
to participate IN the ceremonies.
Every citizen of Washington reveres Gov.
Stepherd for his labor in the improvement
OF the city, and in his visits to his former
home the governor has been made to real
ize the warm place he occupies in the
affections of its people. The younger gen
Grafton growing up is taught that the new
Washington, the city of smooth streets. Of
handsome trees and parking, and of beau-
t.1u. residences, was made by Gov. Aiey.
K. Shepherd and that to him belongs the
hGrOr and giory of its beautilica ton.
The project of monument to Shepherd
has been several times suggested, and IS
now revived by The Stars correspondent rs
a cCnspcuousy suitable memorial of the
centennial year.

ny MIR. Marcus Notes.
In the leasing Of the extensive six-story

establishment there of his auctioneerlng and
storage business, Mr.. Marcus Notes has
inaugurated enterprise which is among
the largest and most ambitious of it's char
acter south Of New York city. The opening
Of Mr.. Notes new place Of business the
past week marked the wonderful develop
ment which has been made by his enter
prise since he first entered the local field.
about eighteen years ago. Mr.. Notes has
been remarkably successful in all Of his
undertakings, and feels assured now that
Washington is large enough and sufficient
ly progressive to warrant the establishment
of such a big enterprise as he has under
taken The sales which have been con-
Quoted at Mr.. Notes house the past week
have been attended by record-breaking
throngs of buyers all of whom have been
enthusiastic in their praise of the handsome
furnishings and conveniences of the place.
The first four floors of the commodious
building are given over to auction sales,
the fifth and sixth floors being subdivided
into one hundred modern storage rooms.
Two elevators reach to the upper foors..
Just now Mr.. Notes has on hand an i'm
mense lot Of consignments, covering goods

LIGHTS ON SUBURBAN ROADS.
Matter brought to Attention of the
District Commissioners.


At the last regular monthly meeting of
the East Washington Heights Citizens AS
sociation It was decided to invite the at
tention Of the District Commissioners to
the lack of much-needed light at night on
the Bowen road and Branch and Pennsyl-
vania avenues. The association in doing
SO requested the Commissioners, so far as
rests with them, to take steps at the earli-
est practicable moment to extend the gas
main and lamps along Bowen road to it's
junction with the Suitland road, and to
furnish electro. gas or naphtha lights from
Twintng City along Pennsylvania and
Branch avenues to Bowen road
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners to the electric department, and
Thos. ]. Fisher, the Inspector of electric
lighting, has recommended that the asso-
clatiOn be advised that, under the approved
schedule for the erection of lamps, it is
the intention Of the Commissioners to have
erected at an early date twelve additional
gas lamps on the Bowen road from the last
existing lamp on said road east to its in
tersection with Branch avenue, but that
owing to the limited balance remaining in
the street lighting appropriation it will be
impossible to grant the further request for
lamps on Bowen road to the junction with
Suitland road, and on Pennsylvania and
Branch avenues from Twining City to Bow
en- road.
