That company took it to Chicago and
then on a Western tour, but finally re-
turned it to Graves. Shortly afterward

name and with number of features
alleged to tally exactly with the Graves
article. The Cleveland man declares
that several managers to whom he first
submitted the opera will bear him out
in his assertions.

PRESIDENTS BIG CHAIR.
TACOMA (Wash), June S.-The box
and presented to President Roosevelt,
revealed an unexpected dilemma, the
box being too large to pass through
| the door of any ordinary express car.
The express agent was the first to
solve the difficulty without mutilating
the beautiful horns. He had heard
! somewhere that one of the Northern
| Pacific express cars had a very large
door. The records We're looked up and
| this was found to be true. 1t was also
| discovered that the door of this car
was ample to admit the Presidential
chair Then a tracer was sent out
after the car and information came
back that the car would pass through
Tacoma today. The chair was accord
ingly expressed tonight to the Presi-
dent at Washington.
| Accompanying the box was letter to
the President acquainting him fully
with the interesting particulars of the
chair, how the deer bearing the horns
was raised in Tacoma from bottle,
the species was named Roosevelt by n
distinguished naturalist, William Il.
I Hornday, president and director of the
Bronz Park. New York, the name hav-
F., ing been chosen five years ago after
the battle of San Juan. The particu-
lar deer bearing the horns from which
the chair is made was himself named
Roosevelt"
