LAST OF THE GIRAFFES.
Only Specimen Known to Exist
with Ringling Bros

The only giraffe known to exist in
the world is feature of Ringing
Brothres' menagerie, and will be ex-
hibited in connection with their great
geological display when the show
comes to Florence lafternoon onlyl
Friday, August l. There was u time
when giraffes were comparatively
plentiful, but today the SPECIES is
practically extinct. The traveller in
Europe may visit every noted zoologi-
cal garden on the continent without
finding single specimen of this cur
ious animal, while the giraffe hunter
of Central Africa has become IA mem
ory. Ruthlessly hunted. as the
Buffalo on the American prairies was
hunted, to the point of decimatiou,
there are no longer wild specimens of
the giraffe to take the place of those
that have succumbed to the effects of
captivity and the western climate, and
when this last lone representative of
noble species is gone, the giraffe will
be extinct. Commercially the value
of this animal cannot be estiamted in
figures. 1t is doubtful whether any
sum of money could be named that
would induce Ringing Brothers to
part with it. Its great value and
interest, however, is not soley the re-
most interesting and remarkable of
wild beasts. Its great neck and lofty
reach give it distinct individuality.
it is the most timid and delicate of
animals, and requires the constant
care and companionship of its keeper
1t feeds on hay, fresh grasses, herbs
and fruit, but so far as known, it new
er touches water. Its thirst is slaked
with milk. 1t never utters the least
vocal sound, and yet expresses its
affection in the most demonstrative
way. 1t is an animal that repays
study. and naturalists and scientists,
as well as the public, come hundreds
of miles to see it. Ringing Rros. ;
menagerie is "A colossal exhibition of
all that is most interesting and cur
ious in the geological world. The
magnitude of the collection is suffic-
iently indicated when the statement is
made that, in addition to the giraffe,
it embraces 30 big and little ele-
phants, with scores of other led ami
mails, and q hundred deIs, cages and
lairs of rare wild beasts. There IL an
aquarium with hippopotami, seals, sea
lions and other water frequenting ami
mails; an aviary with hundreds of
gorgeously plumaged birds; child
rem s menagerie, vastly enlarged this
season, with scores of tiny cages con-
tanning monkeys, apes, chimpanzees
and other animals dear tc childhood,
and many other geological displays of
superlative interest. The menagerie
is magnificent vestibule to the main
hippodrOme pavilion, where, under
the largest canvas canopy ever erect
ed, there is given great triple ring
circus performance, introducing hun
dreds of the worlds greatest arenic
stars, and presenting the grandest
spectacular displays that the human
mind has ever conceived. A magnifi-
cent free street parade preceedes the
exhibition in this city.

MIXED.UP
a Gas ExpIo sion
Lively Experience Of City Clerk
Mahar.

City Clerk John V. Mahar had an
experience with gas explosion Friday
morning. His injuries, although not
serous, are quite painful. His face is
blistered, eyebrows gone, hair singed
and moustache shortened. The accident
occurred at Mr.. Mahar's residence
shortly after a. m. Not long after he
had lit the gas in range he heard an
unusual sound within the stove. I'm
mediately upon his lifting stove liu
to investigate. the explosion occurred.
The range was blown to pieces. but
none of the flying fragments struck Mr.,
Mahar, nor was the building set on
fire. The theory is that the gas being
weak and irregular two of the three
burners lighted went ont, and that la
ter the gas came back and was ignited
yby the flames of the third burner.

which worked out as follows:
When the son was placed upon the
stand, he started out to give some in
eliminating evidence against his faith
er. 4 technicality WAS introduced
which gave the attorney for the de-
fense an opportunity TO get up and
talk to the court for about an hour,
during which he berated the heart
lessness and cowardice of the boy for
attempting to unshoulder crime in
a way which would send his poor
old father TO the penitentiary."
The effect was as desired. Jurors
were moved TO tears, and the attorney
went ut the son point blank. One
question he refused to answer
Answer it," said the court.
The law does not require man to
give evidence which will incriminate
himself replied the young man.
That settled it, The old man was
acquitted, after the jury had been
out only Il few minutes.
Then the son was arrested, and
placed on trial He said lie was not
guilty. and clung TO the statement.
FINALLY. his father WIS placed on
the stand. The old man forthwith
broke down and cried. When his sob
bling ceased, he confessed that it was
he who committed the crime. This
cleared the boy. And the court held
that the old man, who had been acluit-
ted, could not be arrested again for
the Same offense.

The hot time promised John 7. by
saloonkeepers of Springfield will prob
ably not scare him very much. He
was once face 10 face with hotter
proposition. This was nearly ~ years
ago. John T. had taken part in the
strike among miners in the Hooking
Valley. working in the interests of the
mine owners.
He is said To have gone into Il crowd
with shotgun and ordered strikers
TO disperse. Instead. they caught him
and run him into small building.
Burn him alive yelled the crowd,
and a committee started off to get u
barrel of oil near by.
But the militia rescued him
Another story recalled was that
John Il. purchased piano. and
neglected to pay for it. The seller
was about to reclaim the piano. when
he ran against snag. John 7. had
fastened the piano TO the floor in a
corner of the room, with strong bolts.
BY virtue Of its being fastened here,
you can't take it, was Johns defiant
answer to tue constable. 1t is now real
estate. and the law doesn't allow you

piano free of charge.

of about forty varieties of fencing.
and cost John only few cents. He
