ELEPHANT FUND
 STILL CLIMBING Zoo Boys Expect to Have $1000
 by End of the Week MANY LETTERS RECEIVED Champ" Plckens and Mir. Loeb of New York Have Both Visited Animal
 Dealers In That City to
 Get the Best Prices.
MANY LETTERS RECEIVED

Leading members of the Children 8 Geological Park association estimated yesterday that they had collected be- tween $500 and $700 on the elephant fund and would have 5000 before the end or this week. When Mrs. Tolley's theatri- cal performance Is concluded on May 20 the boys expect to have the s120o neces- sary to purchase the elephant. Just as soon as this amount Is raised the voting contest will be held and the boys will start on the trip to New York In search of the much wanted elephant.
 Several letters were received yester- day from persons in New York interested in the Birmingham zoo. all of them bear ing on the subject of buying an elephant. One of these letters was from Emil Loebs of the firm of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb of this city Mir, Loeb has been to see several dealers, but as yet has obtained no definite propositions He says he will be in Birmingham in a few days and will by that time be thoroughly informed on the subject of elephants, and will be able to give the boys some information as to how to proceed when they reach New York.
 Champ PIckens on Elephants.
 Another letter Is from w. II. Plckens, better known in Birmingham as Champ Picltens. He Is at the head of the Dixie Purchasing agency. and while elephants are not exactly in his Inc of business he has takpu occasion to vfuit all fha aIa phant and other animal doalers in New York. One man, he says. offers to sell a young trick elephant for sisOO That price is considered too high. Mir Pickens let ter further says:
 "I went down to Coney Island, to Luna park where Thompson & Dundy have the largest herd of elephants in America. They did not wish to sell but said they would buy few more elephants if they could get them at the proper price. Mir Hagen back Is in the city and sails Saturday for the other side He offers to get an ele- phant five to six feet high and delivered fob, Hoboken for $500 This one will be shipped direct from Africa. Will be guaranteed sound In every way, will work, push wagons etc., and can be taught tricks. Neither cold or heat will affect him. Will also guarantee him not to be dangerous or vicious.
 "I can get you an elephant from Cal cutta the same size, for s11OO to $12O0. but as far as 1 can find out these ee- phants have never thrived in this coun- try They cannot stand the cold weather and have to be carefully housed during the winter months. Hagenback's guaran- tee on an elephant is just about like Tiff fany's on a diamond

Hard Work Necessary.

The boys will have to get to work hard this week selling tickets and raising money for the elephant fund if they ex- pect to be able to leave for New York by the first of June. The theatrical per- formance will probably net them nice little sum but they must continue to raise subscriptions to reach the neces- sary $l2O0.
 AS has been stated before the boys who sell tickets to the musical performance given by the pupils of Mrs. Tolley's school of expression, will get just as many votes for the money they receive for tickets as if they had received It as A contribution. When the boys have sold all their tickets or as many as they can sell they must turn In the money or the balance of the tickets to President Clabaugh and he will issue a receipt which will show exactly how many tickets have been sold by each boy These receipts will be counted in the voting contest.
 The pupils of Mrs. Tolleys school are arranging for beautiful production. The entertainment will consist of one-act farce interspersed with musical numbers by well known artists, and the beautiful cantata Snow White and the Dwarfs."

PATIENT NOW TAKES FOOD
Physicians Express Opinion
That 1t Will Be Necessary to
Let Disease Run It's Course

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senator
Hanna's condition tonight was a little
more encouraging. though the extreme
weakness. which has been the worst
feature Of his illness. continues. He had
fairly quiet day. rested a little bet
ter and there was less irrita bility Of the
stomach, so that the Senator was able
to take more nourishment than for
some days. For the past two days he
has talked very little. and has made no
effort, as at first, to bring up business
matters.
The physicians say it is a case of
waiting for the disease to run it's
course. but that they are hopeful. The
heart action continues good, and the
fact that the Senator is of a long-lived
family IS considered in his favor.

Representative ]. N. Gillette of Hum

ance in the person Of Representative
Esch of La Crosse. Wis, whom he has
not met since his schoolboy days. The
! two went to school together at Sparta,
| Wis. their teacher being Miss Anna e.
Smith. In the pleasure of their meet
| ing and the discussion Of their boy
| hood escapades and the devious roads
! by which they had Travelled from the
Wisconsin town to a meeting place on
the floor of the House of Representa-
tives it was developed that their teach
er, Miss Smith, is also under the roof
of the Capitol or at least under a roof
in the Capitol, being a clerk in the In
terror Department-the only clerk in
the service of the Government, it is
said, who may boast two full-fledged
members of Congress among her former
pupils.
The petition of the Northern Cali
fornia Indian Association, submitted
to Congress a few days ago, has met
with prompt and vigorous opposition
by the authorities at the Carlisle
School. Senator Bard presented the
petition and at his instance it was
printed for the information of Con-
gress.
APPEAL FOR INDIANS.
The petitioners beseech Congress to
grant lands in severalty to some thou
sands of Iandless and homeless In
dams in Northern California, substan-
TALLY as has been done for Indians not
only IN other parts of California but
in other States. The petition or pro-
test of the Carlisle School is signed
by twenty-four persons, who have
been in the Indian service from-0ne
year to thirty-nine years.
The protest declares that the wide
distribution in small communities of
the California Indians referred to
places them far in advance of any In
dams in the United States in point Of
advantage for self-support, civilization
and assimilation with other people.
The protest further urges that poverty
is a good thing and is not confined in
its blessings to the Indians, as many
white people enjoy its advantages,
which stimulates healthy effort. 1t
would be quite as just and proper for
the General Government, says the
protest ito do for them (the white
people) what the California society
asks to be done for the Indians, and
the pauperZing results would be
the same Whatever the
condition OF the California Indians
without land may be, they are In
nnitely more fortunate than those in
Oklahoma and elsewhere who are
heavily landed, and, therefore,
through their unearned resources,
borne down by idleness and its destroy
ing influences, exaggerated through
the usual demoralizing frontier condi-
tions."
The NortherR California Indian AS
sociation would seem to have met
something going in the opposite direc-
ton.

the case was dropped.
The mileage discussion which occu

especially by the game laws, which
