Goats That Fight.

A species of the wild goat, the Capra ruppeli, haunts the rocks of the Abys- sinian highlands. and manages to hold its, own as to flight against all enemies, with the exception of the fleet footed jackal, an adversary whose co-opera- tive tactics and keenness of scent make flight unavailing and have led the ca pras to the conclusion that under cer- tain circumstances valor may be the better part of discretion. The yelp of an approaching horde of jaclials is therefore a signal for instant rally on the part of the goats. The nannies crowd around their kids, and the bucks rush forward en masse. putting away with a rage that lays out a yelper at every spring and makes the survivors stand back bowling and covering.

A BriIIinnt Retort.

After dinner speaking is an art, and, like many otherarts, its excellence has much to do with the mood of the artist Some of the best of our after dinner speakers sometimes fail, but it is not often that failure results in the enrich ment of the worlds store of epigram as it did in the case of Lord Erskine many years ago.
 When Lord Erskine was made q member of that highly honorable body, the Fishmongers Company of London, he made an after dinner speech on the occasion of his first appearance among them as member. Upon his return he said to friend: q spoke ill today and stammered and hesitated in the opening"
 "You certainly fioundered," was the reply, but l thought you did so in compliment to the fishmongers."

else the beliefs of others. The misrepre-
sensations in the News and Sentinel have
caused us trouble and we want the jour
nal to give a statement of the truth about
the matter and the true translation OF the

From the translation furnished the Jour

circular extends greetings to the jewish
people. announces the mass meeting IN
Parnell Hall for Thursday evening OF this
week, which is TO be in honor or Mayor
Bookwalter and quotes what the mayor
said regarding Count Cassini's state
ment to the Jews in kishinen. The cir
cular says that Mayor Bookwalter has ever
been the friend of the Hebrews, and con-
tnues:
Therefore brethren is il not our duty
to be proud of such a noble man and 10
see that this good friend OF the Jews ana

OF such a noble man and to see to IL that
this Jews friend should run the city of In
dianapolis and that IL should not be turned

The circular goes on to speak of the pros
perity which the people of indianapolis
have enjoyed under the administration OF
Mayor Bookwalter. and closes with the FOL

Should the great p. T. Barnum come to
life to-day and look down on the tented
city and all it contains, picturesquely set
on the circus lot on West Washington
street, he would scarcely recognize the en-
terprise that he launched more than half
a century ago. It's a world in itself
and the more / see of it the more l am
amazed said the polite and clever young
man who is at the head of what might be
called the Barnum 4 Bailey Press Bureau.
The great aggregation, with it's army
OF men and horses and the wealth of Monte
Cristo behind it, arrived in town at
early hour yesterday morning. Since its
last appearance here the Barnum show
has exhibited in many countries. 1t has
been the fad OF London's exclusive set;
1t has been applauded by the fashion and
beauty of the French capital and it has
spread its tents in the Orient. Since
hibiting in Indianapolis the show has de-
lighted twenty-nine different foreign peo-
pies. The German Emperor has interested
himself in the big enterprise sufficiently to
inquire how so many tons of canvas and
poles and other paraphernalia could be I'M
loaded and got into shape in SO short time,
and an interesting story is told of how
the Emperor sent a detachment of men
from the German army with the show for
several days to learn how the trick was
done.
CIRCUS'S GROWTH.
An elderly man, with white beard and
silvered hair, stood watching the erection of
the big tops yesterday. "All this makes
me realize L am growing DID,, he said,
little sadly. Fifty years ago L saw the
Barnum show at Gosport, this State. 1t
doesn't look like it did then. There was no
circus feature those days-only an animal
show and few sideshow attractions Those
were the palmy days of General Tom

was one elephant

that filed past into the animal tent With
them was Coco, the youngest of the troupe

good to-day" said the swarthy young
Cingalese. showing his white teeth in a
smile He came from the elephant coun:
try with the mother of Coco. He is the
keeper of the pair and he is proud of
them as if they were his own family.
To a worn but apt old phrase there
was ''bustling activity on the show
grounds yesterday. Under expert hands
the work went on till nightfall. At 6
o'clock everything was in "shipshape' for
to-day's performances. Already there was
the smell of sawdust and one could almost
imagine he heard the blare of the circus
band.
DRIVING THE STAKES.
All afternoon the "sledge gang got in
its work. These are the men who drive
the stakes. Its almost the poetry of
notion said woman who watched the
work. \ gang of negroes pulling and haul
ing on a heavy rope reminded one of steam
boating. They chanted little rhymes as
they pulled in unison, and seemed happy
