Training an Elephant.

In training the elephant to perform
tricks advantage is taken Of the fact
that the feet OF the animal are pecul-
iarly sensitive and he breads any in
Jury to them Many Of his tricks
are based upon this principle. Thus
he is made to place one foot upon a
low pedestal: then the other foot is
tapped gently, and he raises this and
places It beside the other-to get 1t out
OF harms way The hind feet are
treated similarly in turn. the front
feet being hit every time they are
placed on the ground. In this way all
four feet are finally placed upon the
tub. The trick OF inducing an ele-
phant to partake of a meal is very
simple Animals will naturally eat
anything placed before them, and it is
only necessary to open a bottle OF
pop" once or twice and present it by
hand when the animal may be trusted
10 find out for himself how to get at
its contents. In all such cases the
essence Of the training consists in inf
mite patience, kindness and constant
repetition. showing the animal over
and over again how a thing is done in
precisely the same way and then fore
ing him to do it himself.-Scientifc

HANGING And

The condition OF Leonard Cooper.
aged "a years. chauffeur, living at
COS Poplar stret, who attempted sui
eide in a cell al the police station yes
terday morning by slashing his throat
with the blade of safety razor. con-
tinues to improve. The young man be-
came so unruly when admitted TO the
hospital, the result of imbibing too
much that he had to be placed in
straight jacket before the wound in
his throat could be sewed.
The fact that Cooper attempted to
kill himself at the police station came
as a surprise as it was reported that
the attempt was made at his boarding
house. The police kept the matter
quiet due perhaps to the fact that the
prisoner had a razor blade in his pock-
ct which was not taken from him
when he was put In a cell.
There is record book at the police
station in which such incidents are
supposed to be recorded. but Cooper's
act does not appear on it.
Not only did Cooper slash his throat
with a razor, but he tied a necktic
tightly about his throat and was
strangling when House Sergeant
Tucker and Turnkey Keyser, attracted
by his means, ran to his cell.
Cooper had been drinking on Thurs
day and displayed a revolver, and
fiourishnig the weapon threatened TO
kill himself. Those in the place iok-
ingly told him to go outside If he in
tended to kill himself, Later Cooper
became so disorderly that Patrolman
Snyder was called in and placed him
under arrest.
Cooper has made several attempts
before to end his life. twice using a
revolver and once a knife.

riaancia ability is not alone the
iower Of getting moneyed mems ears

bank is the bulwark Of small business.
Given an enterprise that has a legiti-
mate excuse for being and available

port OF its bank for working capital.
Yet It is astounding how many small
businesses start without even confer

mistake. The man who wants TO
finance small concern successfully
should get acquainted with his bank
ers. keep them in touch with the busi-
ness and afford them every opportunity

Whereas, The present Governor Of

respectful manner about the immi-
grants, and particularly the Poles,
when, in the Fifth Volume of his
History of the American People" he
said: "Men of the meanest sort out
of Hungary and Poland"
whereas He further said, that they
poured into this country "as if the
countries Of the south of Europe were
disburdening themselves OF the more
sordid and hopeless elements of their
population
Whereas, I'm addition TO that he said,
yet the Chinese were more to be de-
sired as wOrkmen If not as citizens
than most of the coarse crew that
came crowding in every year at the
eastern ports"
Whereas. Because Of the derOgatory
manner of expressing himself about
the Poles, classifying them inferior TO
the Chinese, therefore be IT
Resolved That the delegates repre-
senting societies in Wilmington are OPP
posed to nominating such a person for
president of the United States

proclaimed at the meetings Of all the
