Giraffe Nearly Extinct.

The most expensive animals brought to this country are said to De g1raffes. Few of these animals, which arc now almost extinct, ever reach this country alive. They have to be cared for as tenderly as a hothouse shrub. The larger animals like the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros are also very expensIve. Alligators are cheap though crocodiles are much more eXpen- sive. The difference between crocodile and an alligator is the working of the jaws. The former works the upper jaw and the latter the under jaw.
 The boys are urgently requested to hurry up their collections as there must be $l2OO on deposit before the trip to New York begins. In other words, there must he enough money on hand to make the purchase before definite negotiations are begun. No part of the fund raised by the boys will be used for expenses, as the Age-Herald proposes to pay the entire expenses of the boys who go for the ele- phant, as was promised when the contest began.
 A muskrat was received from a North Alabama town few days ago as con tribution to the zoo, but no letter ac- oomparied it. As soon as the letter is re- ceved the boys will be glad to thank the person who made the second contribution. The muslxrat has been sent to the South side fire department, and 'Mundy," the monk who is HOW in charge of one of the Age Herald editorial staff, may be sent there Tn a few days. The firemen have kindly offered to care for the anil mals contributed until a permanent home is established.
 The boys are very desirous of having contributions from Alabama, and all such gifts will be highly appreciated, Such ani- mas If forwarded to the Age-Herald Will be delivered to the proper destination.

The announcement Of W. E.
Kirchner, better known perhaps
as BILLY" Kirchner, appears in
the Oil Review as candidate for
Sheriff, subject to the will Of the
Democratic convention to be held
at Middlebourne on the 9th OF
July next. AS majority Of our
readers know, Mr.. Kirchner is a
leading merchant in the town OF
Middlebourne. For long time
he has been chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive committee OF
this county, and has always had
time or took the time to attend
to the duties of this position for
the good of his party, for which,
of course, he received no pay nor
anything else but worry and hard
work. He has never held any
county office, and he feels now
that he is entitled to some recog-
milton from the party for his long
and faithful services.

Mr.. Kirchner is sober, tenn

clever, congenial and one Of the
best citizens Of our county. He
has never been an offensive parti-

Democracy, but always comedies

the other way when they want
to do so. He assures us if he is
nominated the 9Th that he will 60

election in November. He is con-
sidered by many as a very strong
candidate, and will, if nominated,

MISS BECKWITH, THE
GREAT LADY SWIMMER

One of the most clever persons
at the carnival this week is Miss
Cora Beckwith, the celebrated
champion lady swimmer of the
world. She is known all over the
country as the champion lady
swimmer, and her appearance
here will undoubtedly draw large
crowds to the festivities. Miss
Beckwith was one Of the banner
attractions of the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. She won
fame by swimming the English
channel on September 25, and will
next attempt to swim the whirl-
pool rapids at Niagara. This is a
feat never successfully performed,
and a number of swimmers have
lost their lives in the attempt.
Miss Beckwith is accompanied
to this city by her manager, Jake
Rosenthal, who is also manager Of
the Trocodero theater at Omaha,
Neb., and one of the most ener-
getic and efficient amusement

managers of the West.
Miss Beckwith might be termed
the Queen of the Waves" She is
undoubtedly the most clever wa
ter performer Of her sex. Her
long distance swims and graceful
dives are feats thus far unequal
ed.
Miss Beckwith learned to swim
when 4 years old. She was given
her first lesson by her father, who
is a professional swimmer, ana is
now at the head of the Royal
aquarium in London. Miss Beck
with made her debut in this coun-
try in 1884 with the P. T. Bar
mum circus. Her exhibition is
most novel and entertaining. and
no one should leave the carnival
without witnessing her wonderful
feats. She swims in tank so feet
long, 7 feet wide and 5 feet deep,
containing 10000 gallons of wa
ter. Miss Beckwith will glide into
the tank at 80 tonight.

When legislators make laws
they would naturally be expected
to obey them, but so far as the
dog tax question is concerned, it
has been treated with utter con-
tempt by certain Councilmen and
ex-Councilmen in the past. 1t is
altogether unjust to compel a pri-
vate citizen to pay taxes on his
dog and excuse an office-holder.
The tax collector should show no
partiality.

went to the grounds followed by

The home crowd was some what

Atlantic though Extra was the
heaviest team. Our boys played
too high and we're afraid. Finally
after much exortation from

business and got the ball on lack
of gain. Then the tables turned.
The Atlantic could not hold Extra
any better then Extra did them.
Extra got good distance toward
their goal but lost distance on a
tumble but quarter back Gault
gained the ball. The next play was
punt by Larsen that went out
side the lines but Atlantic got the
ball. Time on the first half was
then called with score for neither
side. The second half opened with
