TrappIna an EIephant.

'Elephants are easily trapped, said zoo keeper, ''very easily trapped and very easily tanned The trapper chooses spot popular with elephants and digs hole five feet deep and twenty feet square. He surrounds this hole with a nigh board fence except in one place, where he hangs swing gate. Next he finds herd of elephants, chooses the animal he wants, maddens it and makes 1t chase him. The man tears along on his nag the elephant thun- ders close after, and just at the gate way the man swerves to the right, but the elephant, too heavy to swerve bangs right on through into the hole. He's mad at first terribly mad. But they give him DO food or drink, they build around the pit fires of damp wood that almost suffocate him with smoke, and they daze and stupefy him with shouts and banging of brass pans. The elephant is completely broken and subdued in three or four days. He comes forth and follows the trapper humbly and dmidly, with tears in bis eyes.n

That Kcg of Sherry Again.

The investigation into the theft of a keg of sherry wine from the Starin Transportation company, for which two teamsters were arrested last week, took sudden turn in the trial yesterday when Joseph T. Hartman, one of the prisoners, implicated another teamster, Thomas Haokett and declared that he had been keeping mum on the case to shield him from arrest.
 Hartman, after denying his own guilt, stated that Hackett had met him on the street,and asked him to take the wine and sell it, and that he did so. Ci.y Attorney Simpson immediately halted the trial, swore out warrant for Hack ett's arrest, and then had the case put over until Wednesday, that he may be arraigned with Hartman, and the other teamster, Bernard Brady

MELLEN'S BRIDGE
 OFFER IMPOSSIBLE Bumps Up Against Stub born United States
 Law. SEN. BULKELEY TALKS. Bridge Across the Connec ticut Needed But Not
 Railroad.
SEN. BULKELEY TALKS.

Hartford, June 24.--No little interest will bs felt in just what Senator Nor gan c. Bulkeley thinks about the pro- posed plan for the State to acquire the old railroad bridge at Lyme. In con nection with his duties in Washington he Is naturally in way to know just what the attitude of the war depart ment is on the question, and, after all, the whole thing seems to be ultimately in it's hands. Senator Bulkeley was asked about the bridge.
 T am no more in favor of that than I would be of the State trying to dam up the Connecticut river at that spot" he said ennphatically. "This new scheme would really amount to the same thing, anyway he added, as he got out blue print of the two bridges as they are now. He showed how it would be very difficult for tug boat to get through the two bridges, even If the draw on the old bridge was made over a spot opposite the new draw, almost impossible for the big river boats and out of the question for tugs with barges in tow, which make up the greater part of the river traf- tic. He cut up blotter so that 1t would be the right size for a steam boat, according to the scale of the blue print, and showed how 1t would reach easily the whole distance between the bridges, 250 feet. Tugs with barges in tow would have to take them through one at a time, even under ordinary conditions, he said, and when the tide and wind we're against them he did not see how they could get through at all As 1t Is now it is all that the river boats can do when on the down trip with the tide going their way for them to get through the old draw after making a stop at the Lyme dock.
 But do not misunderstood me to think that the State should not have bridge near the mouth of the river" he added. T am heartily in favor of that. But think 1t should be farther up the stream, where it would be saf- CT, and 1t should be higher, wider and of a more substantial construction than this old one. The new bridge has a track base level that is fifteen feet higher than the old one. It is thirty feet above low water at low tide and twenty-five feet above it at high tide when the wind is northeast. That is the way the State bridge should be built"
 He also said he did not see how the State could get over the technical diff ficulty of the law of the war depart ment. The department authorized the building of the new bridge only on the stipulation that the old bridge should be taken down as soon after the new oneais put into operation as the secre- tary of war should see fit to order. TN'T law cannot be changed. The war

BISMARCK A FINE CAT.
A Terror to Tramps Who Invade the
 Zimmerer Farm.

 Jacob Zimmerer, a farmer near Brookdaie, N. J., is the owner of a re- markable cat. says special to the New York Times. Bismarck, in addi- ton to keeping the farmhouse free of rats, is a terror to hoboes who come to the village and annoy the farmers and their wives.
 If MT Zimmerer happens to be ab- sent, all his wife has to do is to call Bismarck, point her finger, and the cat will do the rest. The cat will leap on the shoulder of the intruder and claw at his head and face until the tramp is glad to escape.
 Bismarck's favorite drink it butter milk Instead of licking his paws and then rubbing them over his face and head, he walks to a pan of water placed at one side of the room by his mistress every morning and will there wash his face and paws.
