HOPE FOR
MAN WHO GUT
HIS OWN THROAT

The physicians of st. Barnabas's
Hospital hold out little hope today for
the recovery of Alois Magnus, the New
York man who cut his throat shortly
after he had engaged room and lodging
at 5 R~idgewood avenue yesterday.
Magnus formerly lived at Sc East
Fourth street, Manhattan. After break
fast yesterday the man went to his
room and cut his throat.
Mrs. Mollie Friedman, who conducts
the Ridgewood street house, found
Magnus lying in a pool of blood. Be-
side him on the bed lay a razor. Fried
man summoned the police and had the
mar taken to st. Barnabas's Hospital.
Magnus was unconscious when he
reached the hospital. When revived
a few hours later, he gave his name
and address to the physician, who at
tended him, in Polish. He said that he
was an engraver, but concerning his
reason for coming to Newark and at
tempting to end his life, he would say
nothing, though urged by physicians,
who told him he would probably die.

NEW JERSEY BANK
IS WRECKED BY A
DYNAMITE CHARGE
Calif0n National Raced When
Burglars Blow Open
Safe.

HIGH BRIDGE, Feb. 22.-Robbers
dynamited the safe in the National
Bank at Califon, a village a few miles
north of High Bridge, yesterday. There
were two very heavy explosions at in
tervals of about five minutes, which
completely wrecked the building and
reused he entire village, which has
a population of a thousand souls.
One of the double doors of the safe,
weighing 500 pounds, was torn from its
hinges and hurled twenty feet, smash
ing a ragged opening through the front
door of the building and landing on the
steps in front of the bank. All the
windows in the building We're shattered
and flying chunks of iron and steel
were imbedded in the walls and ceiling.
The second charge evidently had been
directed against the inner door, but
had only dented it.
There is said to be So, 900 cash be-
sides valuable securities behind the
steel door in the safe. Scores of armed
men are searching for the burglars to-
day. The bungling character of the
dynamiting indicates the work of am
ateurs. Suspicion a been directed
against men employed in the stone
quarries at Crestmore and Vernon.
There has been a great deal of law
lessness among them.
The bank was entered with sledges
and crowbars which were stolen two
nights ago from a Toulouse OF the
Central Railroad of New Jersey.
The bank building is in the heart of
the village. Nothing was seen of tine
robbers, although a crowd of men
reached the bank building within three
minutes after the second explosion.
The National Surety Company re-
ports that the Califon National Bank is
fully protected by the National Surety
Co.'S burglary policy in, the sum of
$4,000. A reward of $500 has already
been offered throughout the country for
the apprehension of the robbers. The
National Surety Co. policy covers the
money and securities in the safe, the
replacement of the safe in the same
condition as before the robbery and the
repairs to the building. The company's
manager, Arthur w. Rankin, will be in
Califon today to settle the company's
loss.

Gustavus Franklin Swift, the first of this commercial dynasty, was a Cape Cod Yankee, who bought a steer now and then and peddled the meat from the back of a certain gocart which has since become famous. He moved to Albany and went deeper into meats discarding one after another partners who had not the foresight and daring which he possessed. He located in Chicago at the beginning of those days of great possibilities in bringing into touch the new west and the older east It was he who invented the first re- frigerator cars. This was the one rev olutionary act which put his sons and few other sons in very fair control of half of the meat of America. He saw the market for dressed beef ex- tended only after the hardest of fights. All great revolutions are fought against.

E~~ Elephants Cross a River Ths
 Has Steep Banks.

T~W EIephants Cross River That
 Has Steep Banks.
 It is a great sight to see a line of elephants crossing a river with steep banks They go down slowly, striking the ground with their trunks before each step and never making a slip or miss, although you feel every min- ute as If they were going to take a header into the water. Then they wade or swim, as the case may be, and they swim beautifully, not hesitat- ing to cross half mile of deep water If need be.
 must say, however, that the sensa- tion of sitting on the back of swim ming elephant is the reverse of pleas ant. You fancy yourself on an enor- nous barrel which may roll round at any moment and take you under Be sides that, elephants swim so low in the water that you are sure of wet ting, which i'll India means an excel lent chance of fever.
 Having crossed the stream, they must climb to the top of the bank, and this is the most peculiar operation of all. Down on their knees they go and with trunk and tusks dig out a foot hold for themselves and so step by step work their way to the tol heir position being sometimes like th. of fly climbing up a wall. AS they reach the top they give a lurch sideways and shoot one leg straight over the bank, then give lurch to the other side and shoot out the other leg in the same way, which brings them into the posi- tion of boy hanging by his arms from the edge of roof. Then they come to their knees and finally, with great scrambling and kicking of their hind legs, bring themselves to level ground again.
 In spite of these perilous ascentS and descents never knew an elephant to miss his foothold, although there was a case where one of the herd got stuck in the mud aAAd sank gradually deeper and deeper until only his head and part of his back could be seen. The rajah ordered ten other elephants to be brought up, and they were hitch ed to the unfortunate animal and by pulling together at the given word brought their believing comrade out of the mud with a plomp like the pop of a thousand ton cork.-TimeS of Tn- dia.
