Gossip of Consolidation.

There is u renewal of the gossip
that consolidation of the principal
beef packing concerns is to be eff
fected as soon as financial condi-
tions warrent. In Chicago some
of the brokers have the report that
the packing interests are buying
into certain banking institutions
with view of consolidating them
and making them large enough to
handle the financial end of the
merger. Officers of the institu-
tions concerned in the report claim
to have no knowledge of such an
intention.
In the present condition of the
financial markets, the beef pack
ing interests can hardly float such
a deal, as probably 800, ,OOO
could not be raised now for such
an object.

How to Celebrate the Fourth.

Los Angeles Examiner.
The efforts made by some
superstaid people i'll the eastern
cities to have what they term a
"sane" Fourth of July celebra-
tion have failed. 1t may not APP
pear sane to hypercritical minds
to have celebrations which entail
a certain number of fingers being
blown off, and increased activity
of the fire department; logically,
perhaps, there is no sensible ex-
cuse to be offered for spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars
for firecrackers and skyrockets,
but what appears as logic is some
times, when Analysed, found to
be an ldealistic therein carried TO
a conclusion which may be ac-
cepted in the thirtieth century,
but not in the twentieth.
The frecracker and skvrocket
demand is here, and must be met.
The best that can be done is to
put the toy pistol under the ban
and insist that fireworks must he
displayed under the best care and
most eXacting.
To make an effective occasion
requires money There can be no
doubt as to the result of the re-
quest of the committee for funds.
Paying for bands, flags and fire.
works is not as impressive
patriotism as subscribing to q
war fund, but it Is none the less
the part of the good citizen.
The reading of that ineXpress.
IDLY grand paper, the Declaration
of Independence, to thousands OF
people, and more thousands OF
the boys who will be the men OF
tomorrow, even if it be but once
a year, is invaluable to the re-
public. 1t implants IN the minds
OF the hearers the traditions ant
the spirit that have made thu
nation.
If the reading must be punctu
ated by crackers and rockets, anC
fleeing fire pictures, let it b.
we'll done.
If the JOY of the people at the
annual realization of what they
are and who they are is so grea
that it must express itself b.
noise, let it be good resoundini
noise.
Keep the sticking plaster ready

CATTLE and BEEF
Agricultural Department Gives Beef
Cattle Scarcity as Cause for
High Prices.

General scarcity of beef cattle,
a condition which is declared to
be expected and usual at this
time of year, is all off-hand
opinion of the Agricultural De-
pdrtment of the cause of present
prices of beef
II do not know that cattle are
any more scarce this year than
they have been liz former years at
the same season." said d. +. Sal
mon, chief of the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry tonight. Cattle are
usually scarce at this time of the
year, and this year is no cNcep-
ton, but should like TO investi-
gate further before / say that the
present scarcity Is as great or
greater than of other years. "
Mr.. Salmon says that as cattle
get scarcer the price at the stock
yards naturally goes up, and that
this would of course effect the
price to the consumer. He said
he knew OF no reason why the
present prices should be higher
than ut any time since the war,
and added that he was not adj
vised as to the truth of this state
meut.
Mr., Wilson, secretary of Agri-
culture, is out of the city, and
both Mr.. Salmon and Prof.
Moore, the acting secretary, re-
fused to talk on the subject of
high prices at length until the re-
turn of their chief.
Mr.. Salmon said that the de
partment knew nothing whatever
about charges that the large pack.
ing concerns were operating tC
keep up the price of beef. If
however, there were natural con-
ditions over the country sufficient
to bring about an unusual high
price for beef the department
would probably know of it.

The animal started to run, and the

unable to free himself At a break

and succeeded in stopping it about
mile from where it started. The boy
was dead before his brother reached

Years ago when the red Indian pad

ment of a normal school to furnish
teachers for the district school from
among the students in attendance to
teach the children of the district, even
though such students may not have
passed the regular teachers examina-
ton provided by law and licensed to

The attorney general is of the opin-
ion that such an arrangement would
not be according to law, in that teach
ers must be employed by school boards.
This is one of their duties. He also
cites that such boards may authorize

such teachers must have legal certi-
ficates, and that such certificates must
cover the entire time of the teachers
service, and must specify all the
branches taught. Such certificate can
neither directly nor indirectly be made

If a teacher who holds a certificate
is permitted to send a teacher who
does not hold a certificate to do the
teaching, then the certificate is made
to legalize another teachers service

ELEPHANT DRUNK; SWAN MILES
Sambo Broke Loose at Coney Island,
and Started Home to Africa,


NEW YORK, June 9.-Sambo, a
baby elephant performing at Coney Is
land, got drunk, tore loose from the
compound and, reaching the surf,
struck out for Sandy Hook. He came
ashore at daybreak off New Dorp,
Staten island.
Evidently he figured on swimming
back to Africa, but, going the wrong
way of the track in the channel, he
turned in between Swinbourne and
Hoffman Islands and was headed for
the CLASSY waters of the Kill Won Kull
when he was sighted at daybreak by
Frank Kesler, Jersey City, who was
in boat a mile from New Dorp.
Kessler thought he saw sea serpent
and was in great CONSERVATION until
Sambo lifted his trunk from the water
and trumpted.
Kessler recognized the strange appa-
rition as an elephant and threw out
all his provisions. Sambo gobbled
them, and, swimming up to Kessler's
boat, laid his trunk across the gun
vale. Kessler pulled for the shore.
Sambo calmly followed Kessler
ashore. He is not a formidable crea-
ture, standing only feet and being
gentle as a lamb kessler led him to
Adolph Eberers Speedway Inn, on the
boulevard, back of Midland Beach, and
mine host provided his strange guest
with a bale of hay. Sambo seemed
grateful. Then the police of New Dorp
| were notified, and they impounded
the elephant in the barn back Of the
station.
Sambo was tired after his night of
| adventure in the water and soon rolled
over and slept. He swan over ten
miles in his water journey from Co
| ney Island to Midland Beach. He will
thereafter be labeled as the only deep
