ELEPHANT TAPS HYoRANT.

"Jule," one of the elephants in the Central Park Zoo, demonstrated her. sa : gacity yesterday by turning on hy- drant near her cage and watering her self, after which she carefully turned off the water.
 The hydrant is just outside of Jules cage. and until Saturday it was fitted with a round handle, which the keepers removed after drawing water. But the Zoo plumber fitted new spigot on the hydrant and put on it a permanent T-shaped handle.
 Jule was seen to put out her trunk and feel the new contrivance as soon as it had been fitted.
 Yesterday, after much fumbling, ste turned it on and produced flow of water. She placed her trunk under the stream and drank copiously. When she had had enough she turned the spigot back.
 Several times during the day Jule repeated the performance. to the de- light of visitors. The crowds at the Zoo Sunday and yesterday were rec ord d-breakers.-N. Y. American.

CHICAGO PASTOR FRAMES RE oUIREMENTs FOR IDEAL
 FAMILY.

CHICAGO. July 23.-what Is an ideal family? Chicagoans tday dis cussed this question. which was solved" in a number of letters to the Rev. D. D. Vaughan. pastor of the Hal sted Street Institutional Church. sent in response to questions he asked in a series of sermons on "The Model Hus- band, the Perfect Wife and the Ideal Home." Here is a composite picture of the ideal home. according to Dr. Vaughan's correspondents:
 The wife has as much right to the money as the husband.
 Positively no credit must be con sidered.
 Parents must never sacrifice them selves to the point of indulgence.
 Force children to be obedient, with a hope of reward. and be free in express ing your love for them.
 Children should never be lied to in order to force them to be obedient: never burden the older children with the younger ones.
 The children should never be obliged to give up school for the brothers.
 Brothers and sisters should treat each other alike, and favors at home should not be governed according to their sex.
 Children have no right to be paid for the work they do at home.

 NEW YORK. July 22.-Convicted ot killing the woman with whom he Ina been living for several years, Cornelius Shea was today sentenced to twenty five years at hard labor in the Sing Sing prison.
 When the sentence was read to Shea he roundly berated the Court and prosecuting attorneys, and swOre a string of vile oaths as he was being taken out of the court room
 The crime for which Shea was con victed was a particularly brutal one, and when the body of his affinity was discovered it bore marks and bruises that indicated she had been beaten to death with some heavy instrument.
 Shea came to this city from Chicag }. and shortly after his arrival the woman, who was Alice Walsh, a waitress. presented herself as his wife.
 The couple had met in Chicago. where Shea had conducted the teams ters' strike in 1905. He met the girl in a cafe where he was wont to dine. and falling in love with her took her out and placed her in apartments near Thirty second and Indiana avenue.

The present supply of flour amounts flour IS expected to arrive on the Mon terey, which is due from San Fran cisco about Aug. 10.

 The above prices are by no means permanent It is my opinion that in case of a rush into the country the prices will soar sky high.

By Ivan Brostrom.

A flying trip to the Kuskokwim river. together with information gained through the courtesy of United States Commissioner Martin Heavey. Mis- sionary Adolph Stecker, and dozen prospectors who have spent from two to six years in the country, have con vinced me that this section of Alaska is the right place for prospectors to use their energy and swing the pick and shovel.
 Kuskokwim river and it's numerous tributaries comprise a watershed or thousands of miles. A few pros and there for number of years. but no real prospecting has ever been done, because of lack of funds to go ahead. One years outfit will finish up a prospectors best intentions and hopes of making a stake. and he must resort to trapping for another years outfit. Hence he is handicapped. and turns out a trapper; prospecting IS neglected and the discovery of gold and other valuable metals is retarded
 About year ago a few trappeis discovered gold on a tributary to Tu' luksak rfver. Through the primitive process of rocking. some 300 ounces were taken out up to the freeZe-up last Fall. During the Winter about thirty men were prospecting in that district. They built cabins, whipsawed lumber and sunk holes, but none was able 70 reach bedrock on account of water.
 At the mouth of Bonanza creek Fisher and Smith are working on hign bedrock with good results, and on tn" next claim below Con Bear creek) Kaf- ser. Lac, Erickson and Bankhart arc now sluicing. A short distance belo" them Sam Hennigan is working. At the mouth of Tiny gulch, opposite No. 26 below, Grant has some good pay. and below the mouth of Bear creek, on the main river, Zimmerman and Wood are suicing. ole Larson sank a shaft on the hillside in this locality. but could not reach bedrock on account of water. Owens, Teddy F'loren, Billy Stanton and a few others were prospecting their respective properties on Bear creek last Winter. Duncan McDonell and his partner, Rabidou, are the OWL CTS of Discovery claim on Short creek. This claim is considered by the miners the best yet found. On account CT shortage of provisions, however, they all had to leave their claims, and went several hundred miles further up Kus- kokwim river to trap for another years outfit How the clean-ups turned out for those working there now. nobody knows, as none of the miners from Bear creek had returned to Bethel be fore my departure. The gold found cn Bear creek, Bonanza and Tiny is coarse and worn, and assays over $19 to the ounce. On the bars of Tuluksak river the gold IS surprisingly coarse and heavy

SQUIRRELS ARE BLAMED
FOR SPREAD OF PLAGUE
Biological Bureau Asked to Devise
Means of Destroying Rodents
Which Carry Contagion

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The pos

squirrels to such an extent as to be-
come real menace to sections where
no cases have 50 far appeared has
been called to the attention of the
house committee on agriculture by
Secretary Wilson.
The public health service has asked
the biological bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture to devise some
means for destroying the squirrels,
through which. according to Chief
Merriam of that bureau, the infection
has spread. in Isolated cases over 500
square miles in California.
The bureau has been asked to make
a survey of the region infested with
the ground squirrels to find the extent
Of plague manifestations.
Secretary Wilson has told the COM
mittee that he regarded Il as impor-
tant to stamp out the buronic plague
as to make the campaign against the
foot and mouth disease, another fight
the department has had, but he has
made no recommendation for an ap-
preparation for the purpose because of
the close pruning of expenditures all
