Especial Cable to Herald Republican,
II ARTS. April 3O.-Former President
1 Roosevelt has enemies in Paris.
Not enemies. perhaps. in the sense that
they seek his life or would do him
bodily harm. but nevertheless a society
composed of individuals who do not like
the former colonel of rough riders.
These persons are banded together
under the absurd title of Friends OF
the Elephant Its membership in
cIudes such well known men as NJ. Ed
mund Perrier, NJ. Raphael Blanchard.

France: General Famin and NJ. Bour-
daire, the explorers
In explaining the objects OF the So
ciety and its dislike for Colonel ROose-
welt. NJ. Castor TOurnier, the secre-
tary said Il day or two ago: We are
the enemies of all big game hunters,
such as former President Roosevelt
Every year men like him make verita-
BILE hetacombs of elephants in Africa.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 ele-
plants fall annually before the guns
Of these ruthless NimrOds. That num-
Der does not include the animals killed
by natives. No doubt Colonel ROose-
Welt will not admit the full number Of
elephants he killed on his recent trip.
II is not to be expected that he was
satisfied with taking the lives of only
a few OF these animals, whose skins
and tusks are TO be sent to the Smith
sonian Institute at Washington, to be

Intend to stop Slaughter.
I'VE intend to put an end TO this
wholesale slaughter, no matter whether
former Presidents of the United States
or others are thereby deprived of the
opportunity to exercise their hunting
skill There are still about 100000 ele-
plants in Africa. One. dOmesticated
and well trained, can 90 the work OF
thirty men. Suppose you kill an ele-
plant It yields about 1.500 pounds Of
flesh and fifty pounds of ivory. A rapid
calculation will show that if all the
,OC0 elephants were massacred, only
about $4,000. 600 would be realized
whereas if they were kept alive and
profit made OF their work about 5000
900, 900 wuoId be realized"
All of which reminds us of the plan
of that interesting stage character.

ton plan to manufacture eye water to
be sold to the immense multitudes in
China who suffer from eye diseases
Colonel Sellers declared, on the stage
there's millions in it," but investors
could not agree with his promotion
plan.
Likewise, there are some persons who
do not agree with the idealistic beliefs
and plans Of the Friends of the Ele-
phant," among them Theodore Roose-
welt.

The expected visit to London of Mrs
Nicholas Longworth, otherwise known
as Princess Alice,'' to her women ad-
