ELEPHANTS.
In olden Times These Big Animals

Were Used In War.
The circus elephant is almost as old
as the world, for the ancient Romans
had an eye to business as well as our
own circus men. Trained elephants
performed during the Roman gladia-
torial fights, just as the clowns do in
our circuses during the intermission.
But the elephant is also spoken of in
the history Of the Bible. King Lysias
Of Syria in 1853 B. c. led 100000 men
and thirty-two war trained elephants
against Judas Of Maccabee and won
the battle. Eleahar. the brother of Jul
das, killed one Of these elephants, but

Demonstrations in St. Petersburu.

Prince Troubetskoy was a reformer who acted on conservative lines. He desired a parliament and a constitu- tion, but he did not desire a revolu- tion, least of all bloodshed. The nobles throughout the empire are almost to man in favor of a wide extension of the suffrage, and the dead prince stood with them While he did not break away entirely from the bureaucrats and the autocracy, yet he stood un- finchingly for a new Russia-a Russia With constitutions Russia In which the people participated in the govern ment.
 Perhaps the most singular feature of the present movement in Russia Is the altruistic position of the nobles. Al most to man they are in favor of extending the suffrage to the peasants. It is difficult in fact to see what sup port the bureaucrats have at the pres ent time, unless it be the Cossacks.
 The removal of the body of the dead prince to the railway station of the line leading to Moscow was the occa- sion of a popular demonstration in the streets of St. Petersburg, but it was not serious except in showing the sen ,.ment that lies smouldering beneath the surface, ready to breakout at any time. This sentiment seems to be as prevalent among the students as it is among the operatives, and either are numerous enough to fill the streets of the capital with tumult and red flags.

September Iron Production.

The blast furnaces of the country in month of thirty days turned out 1, ; S98,873 tons, as against 1,S43,673 in August. October promises to do even better. All previous records stand eclipsed, and the years aggregate will be something that the country will be proud of.
 The great production will have the effect, 1t is to be hoped to prevent a sirable. In the present activity of all branches of business nothing less than an unprecedented production can ward off wild prices, and subsequent tum- ble.
 The country needs a vast quantity of iron, and the demand may not be appeased this year or even next year. Every heavy consumer of iron is reach ing out in desire to cover the needs of next year, but there will be enough Iron to go round IT the prQductlon con- tinues to be increased or even if it can be maintained throughout the cold months.
 Iron is enthusiastically a barometer of business. and the condition of the great industry is further evidence of tue deep, swelling volume of prosper carrying peace, contentment and hap piness on every hand Beyond all doubt this prosperity Is to be carried far into, if not throughout, the coming year, and 1t will be fortunate if no boom, no runaway market, crops out of 1t in any line of trade or In any in dustry.

Every night he comes
Politics in New York.

Mr. McClelan's plurality two years ago was only 62,O00. but his opponent at that time was Mayor Seth Low, who commanded a large degree of public confidence. MT. Mcclellan was at that time an untried man in executive of flee. He had been in Congress a long time, and no one felt sure be could handle the complex public business of a great city satisfactorily. It is now conceded that he has not only capacity for such service, but ample courage, and his vote will undoubtedly. go far beyond that of two years ago.
 his opponent Is MT. Twins, who was chamberlain under Mayors Grace and Hewitt. MT Wins Is an honest man, but so is Mayor Mcclellan. He is n capable man. but so is Little Mac, and the latter is popular and experienced and clever, tactful administrator. He has given the big city the best govern ment it is capable of. A stream can not rise above its source.
 There is really no contest in the present campaign except over the of flee of district attorney. MT. Jerome has not been endorsed by either of the great parties. He is the candidate of the Citizens Union, and is making an independent race. The triangular race Is about all the contest that the campaign in New York county affords, lan's majority will be large enough to elect the rest of the Tammany ticket.

Quarantine Costly.

George A. Edes, manager of Louis James, said last night that the quaran- tine had cost him many hundred dollars and caused much inconvenience.
 We had to change our route for a month on account of our inability to get into Mississippi and Louisiana We will have to make several long jumps which cost several hundred dollars each, as, for instance. the jump from Birmingham to Nashville, for which we will have to have a special train.
 "Other companies are suffering equally as much, and the quarantine is keeping many good attractions from coming south' We go to the coast first and to New or- leans next spring.
 MT. James celebrated his 63rd birthqay last Tuesday in Atlanta. He is the oniy one of the old time American tragedians left now, Frederick Warde having tor- saken the stage for the lecture platform So far as I know none of the younger generation are fitted to take his place. None have his physique or his ability. We decorated his dressing room last Tuesoay and presented him with token or our esteem"

Or. Hayes Report.

The report of Dr. Oscar Hayes on typhoid fever should not go unheeded. It should not be dismissed as mere passing event. but it's lesson should be kept in mind with a view to action upon it in the future.
 Practically speaking, Dr. Hayes at tributes the typhoid cases in this city to the number of honsetlies that we entertain in warm weather. The fever is scarcely known in this city in the fiyless months of the year. The few cases that do occur can be traced to well water or some other well known cause. There are just enough cases in cold weather to keep the typhoid germ supply from becoming exhausted.

First and Last.

'The Coal Barons" said James Bro- phy yesterday, "held first and last place in the batting record of the Southern league. No one In the league during the last season equaled Niles record at the bat-0 good hits out of 1s2 times at the bat, or Just about one trip to first base every third time he came to the bat His percentage is .32a.
 ''At the other end of the list Is Fitz- patrick, who scored but one good hit out of 40 times at the bat. His percentage is o.25 There is wide gulf between Niles and Fitzpatrick. There is no one the fans appreciate more than man who can hit the ball.
 'The Coal Barons had but three men who crossed the 300 line. The three were as follows: Niles, .S29; Deehanty, .s11 and TarIeton, 300. Carlos Smith and Dad Vaughn were close up to the 300 line. but could not cross it."

Four Waitinu Territories.

The Congressmen in Arizona, though republicans and standpatters, do not hesitate to say they will hereafter SUD- port Arizonas independent claim to statehood, and possibly the travelled members of the house will be able to turn the scale In the coming session.
 In all the broad mainland there are but four territories, each waiting to become state-each anxious to have statehood thrust upon it--each fully equipped for state sovereignty In pop ulation, wealth and enterprise. All, too are well equipped with public schools, Arizona and New Mexico hold ing an advanced place in the lists in that essential respect.
 The withholding of enabling acts fir Arizona. New Mexico, Oklahoma and the Indian territory is simply a political scandal, and it Is a scandal that is very scandaloLs. The party that, hurried Nevada, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming into the union, unit as they were for statehoood, either in population or in Mormonism-the party that did that will not let Ari- zona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and the Indian territory in, because 1t can not guarantee that they will be consist e1tly and cont ..ously supporters or Dingleyism. The benelciaries of the sacred tariff want no senators who will not vote to maintain their right to rob the masses through hidden, indirect Dingley spoliation.
 When the Di, -leyites become scared or ashamed of themselves they pro pose to admit the four territories by cutting down the senatorial represent ation due them in all decency one half. They propose to combine In one state Arizona and New Mexico, and ln another Oklahoma and the Indian ter ritory. This plan should be rejected by the territories. It has been thus far. and it should be In the future. Arizona and New Mexico would each make immense states in area, and 1t would be wrong to all in Oklahoma and the Indian territory to combine them. Neither the Indians nor the whites would be benefited under the proposed plan.
 It should be rejected, for in the long run justice will be done. Bold partisan iniustice will run its course, and the indications are that it's base career in relation to the four territories is nearly ended.

filthy that it is distasteful to the house fly. It began life as a maggot bred in dead animals, and as soon as it can fly it proceeds to plant it's feet in filth, transporting from that filth germs to the food or milk or drink consumed by the human race.
 Beyond all question this is the chief and great source of the typhoid scourge. '1f the people" says pr. Hayes, realized that the housefy is maggot before 1t is fly, they would no, stand for 1t as much as they do." Fly-breeding places should be abol- ished. so should dead rats, cats and the like. All other filth should go with them. When we breed flies we harbor somewhere near at hand filth, for they go together, and typhoid follows close behind them.

TRIBUTE TO IRVING BY

It is not too much to say that for twenty years the productions ito use the name applied to the ensemble plays-at the I,y- ceum were everywhere, in other coun trles as well as our own, regarded as ex- emplars of artistic excellence complete ness and taste. Certainly the public showed their appreciation of It. The records of Sir Henry Irving's manage ment show result of public patronage which has no parallel. The money test may be low one, but at least 1t is found to be accurate, and it is thus valuable. Since 1878, when Henry Irving began man. agement on his own account, the pubIio or Great Britain and America had maid more than e2,125,OO0 to see him play. can vouch for the figures, for the money mas passed through my own hands.

Should Give Holiday.


 "All of the big companies ana mer- chants of the city should give their eni- plo, es who are members of the Aiaoaha National Guard half holiday next 'iues- day when the President Is in the city, said an officer last night.

 Tt is nscd on the members of the Ma tional Guard when their employers VII no. let them get away for Jay or sn afternoon. especially when the orders to report for muster are so pereinpfory as those issued by General Clark.

ENRlcHlNe THE LANGUAGE.

From the New York Globe.
 The week has been a great one for the English language. Its richness in equiv- alent expression has shone forth with Shakespearian resplendence In the verbal skyrockets that have played about the gladiatorial contest between the Giants and the Athletics The following list (by no means exhaustive) gives verbs used to describe the thing entered by the official baseball scorer as base hit;
 Banged, batted, battered, based. pasted, belabored, belted, biffed, bumped, bunted, cataputed, cracked, crashed, drilled, drove, dipped, hammered. hit. hurled, damned, jared. jolted, knocked. laced, larruped, licked, lifted, mauled, missiled, pelted, plumped, pounded, pumped. ram med. rapped, razood, singled. slammed, slashed stung swatted, tapped, thumped, whacked, walloped, welted whacked, whanged, whipped, whizzed.
 Fifty-one words referring to the same thing. yet the user of the baseball vernac- ular could not spare one!

Chattanooga Progressing.


 Birmingham is setting pretty hot pace, but we are trying to keep in strik- ing distance,' said G. NJ Gilbreth, who Is connected with the Chattanooga. police department and is taking a vacation.
 Do not think l have reference to erime,' said Mir Gilbreth. While we have our share of the unpleasant things of life to contend with, such as shooting serapes, fights and minor things that con stantly keep the police of every city busy, l would dismiss them from my mind while away and speak of other things. In speaking of the pace Birming- ham is setting I had reference to the many Improvements on every side. Sure ly Birmingham is destined to be great city. 1 can see 1t on every hand. The tall buildings, the magnificent paved streets, the modern sewer system, the business men, the police department, all go to make up cosmopolitan community. When l come to Birmingham again I may find some of the streets extending all the way to Ensley, Pratt City and other suburban places. if the city keeps on growing like 1t has during the last few years.
 But I must not forget my own town. Chattanooga is keeping abreast with the progress of the times During the last ten years the city has undergone a com plete change and a person who has not visited 1t within that length of time would be surprised to see the new build ings and street Improvements that grace the town today I expect to visit Mem phis and several other cities before re- turning home to resume my duties.'' i
