EULOGIES OF JOHN HAY

PARIS, April Is. This years presidential
campaign in the United States already ex-
cites keen interest in France. The Temps

the contest. explaining the situation lucidly

political career as that of an ideal minister
of foreign affairs and of one who stands
head and shoulders above all other Amer

LOVES PRINCESS LOUISE

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PARIS, April 16-Parisians have been
much interested in the pretty story told
of Grand Duke Cyril and his efforts to win
the Cars favor and thereby gain permis-
sion to marry the princess of his love. The
idea has appealed so strongly to a dram
atist Of this city that the incident will be
used the basis of a popular war play.
Indeed, the story as repeated here could
be successfully staged without much en-
bellishment or change a prince of the

intention OF making himself a hero if
chance opens and thereby gaining such in
fuence that the Emperor will relent; he
goes to the front, becomes attached TO the
staff of the naval commander; the enemy
appears and he goes out to give battle
his ship is blown up when he is standing on
the bridge and he is hurled into the wa

ELEPHANT CELEBRATED
BIRTHDAY WITH WHISKY
Trouble Followed When the Ell
fects of the Elephantine Jag
Were Wearing Away.
SODA AS A NEUTRALIZER

LONDON, April 16.-When an elephant
celebrates her third birthday with a bottle
of whisky, interesting developments may be
expected.
Such is the moral to be gathered from the
exploit of Vinegar, one of the troupe of ele-
plants that belonged to the late Mr.. Lock-
hart, who has now with her three COM
panions, been acquired by Captain Taylor
Vinegar's birthday was on Saturday, but
the effects of the whisky carouse did not
manifest themselves until Sunday, when
the animals were being removed from Hox-
ton to a stable in the neighborhood of the
South London Music Hall, where they have
appeared since.
''Viny," as she is affectionately termed,
is gifted with a sense of humor. and the
spot where the railway bridge crosses the
Lambeth road seemed TO her to be fit
place wherein to indulge in her passion for
comedy.
She had been taught to do the 'cake-
walk" and this dance she rendered with
much spirit. Her example was followed by
her companions, and a whistle from a
passing train added further to their ponder
Gus eXhilaratiOn.
''Viny'' set off down the Lambeth road
as fast as a man can run. She was joined
by her comrades in mischief each catching
the one in front by the tail (also stage
trick) The three covered a distance or
three-quarters of a mile before stopping,
and the escapade only terminated by
why's unfortunate difference of opinion
with a heavy lorry, in which the three-year-
old came off poor second with sore head.
She was quite sobered, and went through

changes recommended in the regular or

advised that the time for the annual cleo

curing biennial elections be changed, re-
quiring inspections once only in three years.
