story Of n Pelican.

In the gardens Of the Vatican there
has for some years been a small me-
nagerie composed Of rare animals
which were sent by admirers in vari-
GUS parts Of the world to the late Leo
XIII. In these animals Leo's success
sor, Pope Plus ", took much interest,
but as it costs great deal to feed
them he recently decided to remove
them from the gardens and to present
them to the various religious institu-
tons in Rome.
A beautiful pelican was among the
animals. and a day or two before the
menagerie was to be broken up 1t few
into the country, where it was soon
killed by a man who was shooting in
the marshes. Seeing that he had OBJ
tanned a genuine prize. he hastened to
present it to the king, but some Of the
court officials had heard Of the peli-
cans escape from the Vatican, and
therefore by the monarch's orders the
bird was stuffed and sent back to the
pope, who has placed it as an orna-
ment in one Of the rooms Of his palace

MEMoRIAL 70 eENERAL sLocuM
prs.Iasn. Roosevelt. Principal Speaker

President Roosevelt Principal Speaker
at dwelling In Brooklyn.
New York, May S1.-In a stirring adj
dress delivered at the unwilling of a
big statue Of General Henry w. Slocum
in Brooklyn. President Roosevelt paid
a splendid tribute to the men who COM
posed the northern armies, but did not
forget those of the southern hosts.
Most notable in his speech was an ex-
preston of his hope that as the nation
increased in strength there would come
a corresponding increase in its sense Of
responsibility, which would prevent its
people from either injuring or insult
ing other people; his declaration that
the surest way for a nation to invite
disaster is to be opulent, aggressive
and unarmed.
Significant, in the light Of recent
events, was his assertion that IF our
navy is good enough We have a long
career Of peace and prosperity before
us. and the only likelihood Of trouble
ever coming to us as a nation will arise
if we let our navy become too small or
inefficient. A first class navy. first
class in point of size, above all first
class in point of efficiency and the in-
dividual unit, as units in combination
is the surest and cheapest guarantee OF
peace. should think that any man
looking at what is happening and has
happened abroad and in our own his
tory during the past few years, must
indeed be blind if he cannot read the
lesson clearly"
The exercises at the unveiling began
with an invocation by Right Rev.
Frederick Burgess, Episcopal bishop Of
Long Island.
The statue of General Slocum was
unveiled by Gertrude Slocum. the IL
year-old granddaughter Of General Slo.
cum. amid the cheers of thousands. A
salute of 13 guns was fired as Miss Slo
cum drew aside the flags which veiled
the statue.

BIG ELEPHANT PUT TO DEATH
Took 100 Men Ninety Minutes tc
Stranule Beast.

Buffalo. N. Y. May S1.-Prince, a
gigantic trick elephant was put to
death here. The beast had shown
signs of madness. and his owners de
cided to kill him. 1t took 100 men,
with block and tackle, 80 minutes to
put the pachyderm out Of existence.
Stakes were driven into the ground
on both sides Of the elephant and
hawsers IL inches thick were fixed
to each stake with block and tackle.
The ropes ended in slip nooses, which
were placed around the elephants
neck. A gang OF 100 men then began
to haul on the ropes. Twice the haw-
sers broke, and the dangerous opera
tion of replacing them had to be un-
dertaken by the trainer. Prince offered
no resistance, submitting quietly to the
commands Of his trainer. The hide was
removed from the carcass and given
to the Buffalo Historical Society.
