in new QUARTERS
BuffaIoes at Gage Park Have
Shade and More Room.
Driven to New Home Without
Incident-JOshua Happy.

The herd of buffalo at Cages park
has been moved to new quarters. Fri
day afternoon the buffalo were driven
to the southwest corner of the park,
where they hive a ten acre paddock,
shade trees, tender grass, sweet clover,
a cool wallow, and everything to delight
their hearts. According to E. B. Stotts
the buffalo held a special session last
evening and offered a vote of thanks
to the commissioners for their new
quarters.
The change was made in half an
hour. Six men drove the eleven ami
mails like a herd of cattle, and the
march was accomplished with ease. One
calf, loath to leave her old quarters,
galloped back to the corral. but saw the
error of her ways and rejoined her
brothers.
Upon reaching their glorious new
home they broke ranks and started a
tour of investigation. Old Joshua, head
OF the herd, and one of the largest ami
mails in the United States, raced about
the field, examined every Granny, and
spotted the one weak stick in the fence.
He butted hopefully, but the pole held,
and he trotted dejectedly away to his
wallow.
The field is enclosed in a stout fence
OF woven wire six and one-haH feet
high. 1t has taken three weeks to COM
plete it.
Topekans will breathe a sigh of salts
action now that the herd is comfort
ably housed. There has been much COM
plant about their old quarters. mot
large enough worried the people, land
not enough shade" 1t really seems as
if the buffalo should be given special
attention. Kansas is one of their old
favorite haunts, and it is not every city
that can boast a herd of buffalo, for
the king of the plains, as everyone
knows, is fast disappearing. No one
can complain of the new quarters for
they meet expectations in every way.

SCORE BRASS BANDERS
Suppression of Vice With Blarc of
Trumpets Held Impossible.

Philadelphia, Aug. 17.-Spectacular
raids on haunts of vice by the police
are severely criticised by the August
here. The jury found that this policy
of suppression has been a failure,
while it depreciates the value of
property in the district and is de-
structive to business" Hence there can
be but one construction placed upon this
primitive method for the eradication
of the social evil, and that it is a valu
able adjunct to the secret system ex
police establishment whereby the for
mer is compelled to yield to the latter
its tribute for protection, and thus
