Robin Taylor was healthy boy and
he had a healthy boys love of mis-
chief. but during the stay in London
with the Animated Wax Works he be-
haved himself admirably except in the
case of the big elephant. Lena.
After that little affair of the turning
of the rats into horses by Cinderella S
godmother for the benefit of the poor
people around Drury Lane, Robin often
said to her that he wished she would
turn some other animals into various
shapes. but as a fairy does not take
any special pride in doing tricks of that
sort she always said no, until the day
that they visited the London zoo.
The company stopped in front of the

particularly strong. Suppose you try

But the verger had never carried an
elephant any distance in his life and
he said so.
She could jump down." said Mr..
Spratt.
Yes, but she wouldn't be much use
to the Zoo If she did. It's that last mo-
ment that is the trying one in a jump
like that" answered his wife with a
wise air.
Can't you get stout rope and make
sling and let her DOWN." asked Gin
derella, but this did not seem to be
feasible.
Robin now felt that he had had far
too much fun. II, owing to his thought

the brave Chinaman's life went out
and bloody feet trampled his body, the
mule suddenly started and off went the
cart, swept at a gallop down the mar
row passage. in the only direction in
which it was possible to go-straight
away from the legation quarter. Above
the rumble and clatter rang the cries
of the Boxers, as they pressed in hot
pursuit. From some distance to the
left a crashing, thunderous sound
indicated that the imperial troops were
storming the main gateway to the Pur-
pie Palace.

of course his wife suggested the OPP
posite. pretty Cinderella wrung her
hands and wished in vain for her fairy
godmother and Robin wondered how
soon the great dome would cave in and
let the monster down to the church be-
low.
But they knew how to build in the
old days. and while can not say posi-
lively that Sir Christopher Wren con-
templated making a perching place for
a big Indian elephant on the dome of
his most famous church, yet Lena was
really as safe there as she would have
been on the Thames embankment.

own business. You can dress yourself
up in brown paper and walk on your
head from Charing Cross to the Bank
of England, and no one will hinder
you, but the spectacle OF an elephant
on the dome of st. Paul's was so out
of the ordinary that people stopped in
the street to look at it, and at last one
of the vergers came hurrying up TO say
to Robin that he must take the ele-
plant down.
"Helephants amt allowed up ere,

During his address at the mission
meeting in the Old Swedes Church
last evening Bishop Coleman used
the investigation of charges of alleged
bribery being made by legislative
committee as an illustration of his
sermon. The bishop was speaking
about truthfulness as an integral part
of the confession of sins and to Illus
trate the lack Of truthfulness in the
present generation referred to the
bribery investigation.
He said that two men elected as
representatives of this commonwealth
have told stories diamctrically oppo-
site each other.
''Of necessity" the bishop added,
"the two cannot be equally correct
and there must be lie somewhere.
Is this the kind of men you are will
ing to style representatives of Della
ware
Bishop Coleman said he did not I'M
dertake for moment to Judge be-
tween the two men or to say who
was more likely to tell the truth but
according to their own statements,
there is lie between them.

closed this evening with a service be-
ginning at eight O'Clock. There will

ASK CONDITION.
AL PASSAGE.

There is much agitation over the new
city charter bill and its advocates are
anxious that it should come up in the
General Assembly. The bill has becI
in Dover for some time but has not YET
been reported. To the asscmbymer
representing Wilmington those interested
in its passage are looking for the sue.
cess'or failure.
This bill to which its advocates have
given much time and attention has its
conception in the Legislature of 1895,
which body afeer having been Emporium
ed to make many amendments to and
repeal sections of the present city char
ter, appointed commission to draft a
new charter. The. committee reported
in 1897 and at the special session in
1898. In 1899 the Board of Trade took
up the matter and urged the Legisla-
ture of that year to pass bill. In
the last hours of the session bill,
but not the one proposed by the Board
of Trade, was urged for passage but
failed.
More than year ago committee
set to work to draft the bill which is
now before the Legislature. This bill
has been the subject Of much discussion
and has been under consideration and
under the supervision Of the joint Board
of Trade and CITY Council committees
One night recently committee ap-
peared before the Legislative Commit
tee and urged the passage with the pro
vision that it become effective only after
the people have approved of it. Should
they so approve Of it at the June cleo
ton the officers named in the charter
shall be those elected at the coming
city election.

Existed. r.
No New Cases of the Disease Report.
cd Yesterday-Howard School
Fumigated,

| No new cases of smallpox were re.
ported to the Board of Health yester-
day but every effort on the part of the
health officers to find Mrs. Dora Carter
and Cornelius Robinson, both colored,
who escaped from the house No. 1882
West Sixth street on Tuesday afternoon,
has been without avail. While Mrs.
Carter and Robinson are said to have
shown no symptoms Of the disease they,
however, were living in the same house
! where a bad case existed and being at
large they are considered dangerous.
The case at No. 1882 West Sixth street
whence the man and woman escaped,
was that Aiathcs Brockson, culored,
who was sent to the pest house on Tues
day. The health officers on hearing Of
the case early Tuesday afternoon pro-
cecdcd to the house at once but Mrs.
Carter and Robinson evidently heard Of
the proposed visit of the officers and
left the house several hours before they
arrived. There are now four eases of
the disease at the pest house and all Of
the occupants Of the infected houses
are confined there with the exception Of
the two now being looked for.
Yesterday afternoon officers of the
Board of Health fumigatel the houses,
