ELEPHANT WITH A HISTORY.
Secret of the Far-Famed "SncBed
White Elephant of the Old
Barnum Circus.

The enormous tusker now called
Othello, one of the Shakespearean-
named elephants with the Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers circus, has his
tory of more than ordinary interest,
says the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. He was purchased by the late
Adam Forepaugh from the prince of
Wales gardens, Liverpool, and
brought to this country in the year
1851
At this time Tiny" which was then
his name, was a very intelligent and
playful Juvenile of six years of age.
1t will be recalled that Barnum d
Bailey, in the season of 1854, intro
duced what they termed the 'Royal
Sacred White Elephant" to much
interested and befuddled American
public.
Adam Forepaugh was not going to
be left in the rear, and, as matter of
course, he went the immortal Barnum
a point or two better by introducing
not only sacred white elephant"
but also a numerous collection of ST.

Slamese White Elephant" 1t cannot
injure or offend the deceased Snowman
to state that Tiny" direct from Liv-
erpool, was pressed into service imme-
diately on his arrival in America, and
converted into his Sacred joblots
from Siam.
Several barrels of pink calcimine
and half dozen husky calciminers did
the job in a single night, and poor
Tiny was perforce compelled to look
solemn and dignifed for season as
the great and only rival to Barnum &
Bailey's more or less sacred pachy-
derm.
When the sacred white elephant
gag had run it's course, Forepaugh
sent out report that his Siamese i'm
portation had died during the winter,
but as Tiny is still alive and fully as
sprightly as ever, it is evident that
Forepaugh simply got mixed in his
dates; the "dyeing" had taken place
merely one year previous to the an
nouncement, via the calcimine bucket
and brush route. Be that as it may,
Tiny, who has developed into very

1t will be recalled that the elephant

Thompson We're for several years one
of the leading features of Adam Fore
paugh's circus, and more than an off
set to Jumbo and other stellar fea-
lures brought into being during the
same period by Barnum & Bailey.
The elephant was growing larger and
stronger all the time, and, good-na-
tured and playful as was his DISPOSE
ton, the blows became more and more
dangerous to his sparring partner, so
John L.. in his turn, disappeared from
the arena.
For the past few years Othello, the
natural successor of Tiny and John
L., has been a valuable trick elephant.
He is now 26 years old, of fine growth,
and accounted the handsomest ele-
plant in his class.

 Field To-Day-The Yale Players.
 The first baseball game of the season in this city will take place this after noon at the Yale field between Yale and Manhattan college. It is expected that a large crowd will be in attendance, as the int terest in the first game seems to be great. The baseball fans will have a chance to sit on the bleachers and yell after keeping quiet for six months, and the crack of the bat and the voice of the umpire will be welcome sounds to hundreds in this city.
 While it might not be a wonderful game from a baseball standpoint, the fact that it is ball game will please all who take the trip to the field The Manhattans are explained by Duff the former New Haven player, and he has @ good team with him, it is said The Yale team will be a queer one, Guern- sey and Winslow being the only veter- ans on it.
 It is expected that the Yale team will take the field in the following order: Catcher, Winslow; pitcher, Garvan; first base. Chittenden; second base de- Saulles third base, Guernsey; short stop Thompson: left field Ward; cen- ter field. Barnwell. right field, Wear. Many new men will be given a trial be- fore the game Is finished. It will be called at 2:45 o'clock and will be umpir- ed by Gruber.

 1T believe that the cold took such hold on me because was run down iD health, but Peruna restored me to per feet health. ."-Patrick Devlin.
 Catarrh is an old cold. Even the strongest, most athletic men are liable to colds during the winter months. A cold, if neglected, is almost certain to cause catarrh of the head, which rapidly spreads through the system, setting uI catarrh of the throat, lungs, stomach ol pelvic organs. What a host of winter ailments would be prevented by a pre-. ventive as well as cure for colds.
 Peruna is such remedy. If taken al the first sy ynptom of catching cold it. heals the catarrhal condition before ii { becomes established and makes impos sible spread of the disease. Should the cold be neglected and result in catarrh. Peruna will cure, but it will take much longer and will result in much unneces sary suffering.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving s full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad, vice gratis.
