q.
FRANKFORT KY, October 15.-Not
desiring to sail under false colors. Mace
Lucas. candidate for TALLER, subject to
the action of the democratic party in the
November primary. describes himself as
being a horsethief on his candidacy card.
The card is embellished with but a few
words, which are the following:
Mace Lucas.

proud than that he was one OF Nor

the war.
Zoo Donkeys Belabor Each Other.
NEW YORK, October 15.-Many persons
narrowly escaped serious injury at the
Bronx Geological Gardens yesterday
afternoon. when two donkeys. used in
carrying children about the park became
enraged and attacked each other They
fought for more than ten minutes before
attendants could subdue them. In their
efforts to injure each other they rushed
against women and children, many Of
whom got out OF their way just in time to
escape being hurt.
The fight ended after one of the don.
keys had chased the other into a cor
ner near the new elephant house. Here
one of the animals was kicking the
other when half dozen keepers inter-
fered. Both of the donkeys were serious
ly injured.
The first intimation the attendants had
that anything was wrong was when they
saw the donkeys slashing away at each
other with their heels. One of the ami
mails. using his head as a battering ram.
tried to escape from the other. Women
and children ran to get out OF their
way The donkey that had used his
head ran away followed by the other,
who pursued him to the elephant house.
where the fight was resumed with greater
vigor than ever.

OF his sound waves being blocked or

biography and in distant control by
wireless impulses or waves, the rapid
and continuous sending Of a series Of
other waves will produce what is tech
rically known as interference" which
has the same effect that two people
speak ng rapidly at the same time have
upon a listener-there would be con
fusion and but little proper under

this difficulty that Mr.. Gardner discov-

Mr.. Gardner has recourse to two sim

metal which he can laughter just as

SPANISH BARITONE
CHARMS HEARERS
De Gogorza's Concert Proves
Treat to Large Gathering
of Music Lovers

Emilio de Gogorza's program yester-
day afternoon at Christian Science hall
proved even more popular than his for
mer efforts. The Spanish barytone, who
has captured music loving San Francis
co, was forced TO sing several encores
in addition to the exceptionally long
list Of set numbers. The program con-
sisted chiefly OF songs that had been
most acceptable at his preceding con-
certs.
Hampered as he was by the poor
acoustics of the hall, De Gogorza sat
isfied every one in his large audience
with his full. sweet voice. Each note.
whether forte or piano, carried its well
rounded volume of melody to every
part of the hall. He sings with an ease
and trueness, combined with an express
sion and fine enunciation, which wins
his audience from the start.
"Lockruf" "a. Ruckauf) and the aria,
Vision Fugitive" from "Herodiade''
tMasseneD, showed him in two differ
ents moods, each equally pleasing En-
cores We're demanded for each He re-
peated the first. and after the aria
sang Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes, favorite that will cause him
to be long remembered here
En- Calesa" (Alvarez) was another
of the gems of the afternoon, and SO
well was it rendered that De Gogorza
was forced TO sing another selection.
He struck a responsive chord by select
ing the prologue from 'TPagliacci"
The group of songs The Pretty
Creature, Mother o. Mine" 'sThe Com
placent Lover" "A Dream Oh. Brock
way) and Sing Me a Song" were most
refreshing and gave his hearers a good
idea of the barytones versatility.
Henry c. Whittemore, the pianist, ac-
companled De Gogorza most satisfac-
torily. but his solo numbers were rem
dered with but ordinary expression
