 in Africa, Besides Elephants.

Washington, Dec President Roosevelt will make q special effort in his African hunting trip to secure two specimens Of the white rhinoceros, which is probably the scarcest ami nal in all Africa. The national mus cum in Washington is especially an xlous for one of these, and If the president gets another specimen he will give 1t to the British National Museum
 The president too will not end his journey until he has secured two elo- plants. The advice recently given him that he will get no elephants on tho route he has decided to take has caused him to determine to go as far into the interior of Africa as neces- sary to get elephants The white rhinoenros will be found. if at all, on the headwaters of the Nile, which the president will strike after leaving Iako Victoria Nyanza.

rosentatives on the Exchange, the firm. of course, will be out of Stock Ex- change business for the three-year pe- riod Whether it will continue to be active through other exchanges Is not known.
 The investigation of Coster, Knapp S Co.'S business conduct resulted in the exposure of tho fact that the firm had been engaged, for some time prior to It's collapse, In running bucket shop Much testimony along this line was produced at hearings held in con- nection with the bankruptcy proceed lngs relating to the Coster firm
 When fl became known that Mar shall, Spader S Co had close business relations with the failed firm. the gov erning committee of the Stock Ex- change took up the matter, and for several months a thorough investiga- ton was prosecuted This inquiry term inated yesterday afternoon at the meet ing of the committee. Moorehead and Martin appeared, and were permitted to examine and cross-eXamine all wit Inesses. They were also allowed 10 present testimony fin the way of de- fense or explanation
 All the explanations, apparently were unsatisfactory. and the commit tee decided that both the floor mem bers were guilty of three specifications of tho charges made against them and their firm.
 For some years Marshall Snader X Co. have been one of the most con splcuous commission houses in the financial district. The firm was organ ized on April 20, 1904 There are six members, James c Marshall. w. B. Spader, John Marshall Langdon B. Wood, MT Martin, and Mir Moorhead.
 Besides their main office at No "A Broadway they have maintained branches at the waldorf Astoria, st. Denis, and Plaza hotels, as well as in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago and Hot Springs Va The firm holds mem bershlps fin tho Produce and Cotton Exchanges
 This statement was issued by the l firm immediately after the announce ! ment of the suspension;
 l "The governing committee has dis clplned tho firm by denying us the ! privileges of tho exchange for period of three years or charges of a violation < Of it's rules. The action has nothing whatever to do with our financial re- i sponslbllltes No fraud Is charged | ann hoe rttffarpI u logg 's
 MT. Moorehead joined the exchange on March 23, 1899, and MT Martin be- came a member in 1907 That the financial responsibility of tho firm was not questioned by the officers of tho Stock Exchange was admitted, and Il appeared certain that there would be no losses as the result of the action Of the governors Among the customers are many prominent traders, both here and in Chicago.

possible. has now changed his mind,

their escapade. He has always in

well up In the eyes of little Henry,
ignored both, and made an effort to lift
the little fellow into a waiting cab,

and kicked and struggled until his
strength failed him. Then he cried
out to his mother as the cab sped to
his fathers home, and size, overcome
with mother love, burst into tears, and
shaded her eyes with her hands as the
boy waved her q farewell.
There was an immense crowd at the
station. Young browne and his mother
