A LIVELY COMBINATION,
Drunken Keeper Mt COney Island
Causes Considerable Excitement
with His had Elephant.

Frederic At, keeper of Topsy, bad
elephant borrowed from liarnum IL
bailey. terrorized Coney Island the
other day by running amuck. AIT had
been drinking, and, mounting the
beast, he sped through the resort,
brandishing pitchfork. Crowds
poured from all the resorts along the
line and followed the elephant and her
wild driver. The police were notified,
and soon half dozen, afoot and on
horseback, led the pursuit. TOpSy out
footed even the horses, and At laughed
mockingly at his pursuers. Down near
Sea Gate, however, the elephant
stopped and the driver jumped from
her neck. Man and beast faced the on
coming crowd, the man swinging his
pitchfork and the elephant slowly
swinging her trunk.
You are under arrest" said Police
man Conlon, rs the crowd halted in
front of the big animal.
"Get out" said Alt, with a laugh.
"lf you don't go away I'll sic the ele'
phant on you"
Conlon's pistol was out in flash
and leveled at the head of the animal
trainer. "If you say word to that
brute I'll blow your brains out" he
said. "Come along now"
AIT looked at the elephant and then
at the pistol. and said: ".All right"
At the station Alt spoke to the ele-
plant. In an instant Topsy was in
motion, and the courthouse shook as

NO MORE "SERVANTS."
National Housewives Association nj
Chicago Decides to Dignity Them
with High Sounding Title.

Hereafter in Chicago there will be
no such person as Servant" for the
National Housewives association has
decided to elevate houSework to the
dignity of a profession. "Spinster Of
dishwashing" or "mistress of cooking"
or even "doctress of general house
work" for attendants on the new
school of technology the association
is to found, will, however. be eminently
proper terms with which to designate
housemaids.
1t was Mrs. Howard S. Kretschmar,
of the Chicago Woman's club, who pro-
posed the new departure. She declared
that the only way to solve the house
maid problem was to insist that en-
ployes in every department of house
work should have a technical cduca-
tion before they got employment. She
also thought that diplomas should be
given huusemaidS after one year of EN-
ploymcnt in family, such diplomas TO
be signed by the executive committee
of the association.
Mrs. Kretschmar's ideas met with in
stant favor, and Mrs. Augusta Levi,
president of the association, appointed
a committee to see that they were act
ed upon as soon as possible. The com
mittee will also consider n plan out
lined by DR.. Mary Seymorc for erect
ing clubhouse and hospital for house
maids.

Leslie is much chagrincd over the
nature of the accident. "To think"

posure to all the dangers of frontier
life, should be nearly killed by my
own gun--it's enough TO make a man

ATTENTION. MINING MEN.

We will sell or bond the Old Guy nopa, an old developed property, full of gold and silver, for $S,ea0.
 This property has a tunnel 100 feet in ore. and winze that we do not know the depth; it is filled with water.
 On the property we have a dump. from which we can show you s1 300 assays in gold and silver. We will guarantee that you can get fifteen thousand dollars out of the dump as it stands today. and it will probably show you a great deal more than we can assure you in it. We do not ask a cent, but want you to investigate the property; it is there to prove itself.
 This mine is the greatest offer that has been made for some time. The reason is that it lies in a section of Mexico where few white men have been until recently. There is plenty of water, and water power on the ground. There are no assays to show, on any part of the main ledge, that will not warrant shipment.
