Gunda, the bad elephant Of the Bronx
Zoo. may yet be freed after being chained
for two years. Ghnda is the largest ele-
phant on this continent. and during the
two years his front and hind feet have
been chained he has constantly swayed
to and fro to free himself. The s. p. G.
A. declares that two years Of imprison-
ment chained fore and aft would wreck
the temper OF the most refined elephant.
and they will ight in the courts for his
release
The chains have rubbed sores on his
legs; his ears are full Of holes where
keepers hooks have pulled them, and his
forehead Is worn from two years OF rub

his tusks is broken, and yet Gunda 10
only eighteen years old.
1t must be admitted that the fault was
originally Gunda's own. for when he ar

Ex-LIeutenant Becker Is losing his

Sing Sing death house means anything.
He has become morose and suiky. In

In New York last week the Strong Arm
King delved into the classics for an In

word that Becker is losing hope. Never
al any time has he been in the mood to
treat his situation seriously. His iron
nerves have stood him well. but now they
are reported to be weakening.
]. Townsend Williams. one OF New
York's big investment brokers, was tray-
cling through the South recently looking
over some properties. He had occasion
to stop at one of the hotels in the smaller
towns where the service Is not what
might be called par excellence. After
the negro waiter had served his dinner
Mr.. Williams glanced over at the side
board eontemplatively and finally said:
Sammy. just get me a cut Of that
huckleberry pie there, will you!'
The negro looked In the direction Of the
sideboard and replied:
Boss, that amt no huckleberry pie
Shoo-oooo-oo."
1t is needless to say that Mr. Williams
finished his dinner without the custo-
mary dessert.
- A Greek policeman arrested a Greek
peddler in Union Square the other day
for cruelty to animals in selling small
lizards in chains. The police magistrate
ordered the peddler to liberate his stock
of 500 salamanders in Central Park, and
now the park Is overrun with lizards.
Next winter the lizards will freeze to
death, not being natives, but that will
not be cruelty to animals.

THE LAST WORD
IN THE CAMPAIGN.

There is little more to be said be-
fore the election tomorrow which
will decide the question as to whether
Virginia will have Statewide pro-
hibition or Local Option. Practical
ly every voter in the state has made
up their minds on this important
question and will register their con-
viction at the polls tomorrow. And
we are content to rest our case with
the people.
Frankly we will regret if our anti
cipations of the continued prosperity
of Alexandria and Virginia is to be
stopped by the menace OF state wide
prohibition. But whatever is the re-
suit we feel that we have done our
best for our city and its people. The
task has neither been a pleasant OF
profitable one. We have lost SUBJ
scribers and advertisers by our stand
for local option. We have felt the
unmerited and unjust attacks OF men
who, having little or nothing to lose
bv a radical change in our methods
of taxation have delighted III IN
flaming their supporters by pas
sionate uttaranccs against US because
we had the Courage to fight against
a principal which we feel would De
most injurious to this community.
Looking back over the campaign
we are gratifed that the friends OF
local option, have been temperate IN
all things. On the other hand the IN
temperate remarks, the revillngs ana
cursings, the abuse from unbrldleo
TONGUES, has come from pulpits or
from men who wear the cloth oil God'

DESTRUCTION OF THE
RHEIMS CATHEDRAL.

That men are no better now, after
the preaching;of the gospel for near
ly ninetee hundred years, is shown
in the lives of individuals as well as
nations. About five hundred years be-
fore the birth of the Prince of Peace
the beautiful temple of Solomon at
Jerusalem was RACED by the Baby
lonians and the vessels of silver and
gold carried awy The structure was
the pride of the :Isaaelites, and those
who survived the captivity of seven
ty years and returned to their own
country wept when they realized
that the new temple which was be-
ing constructed was to fall so far
short Of the original structure.
The beautiful Cathedral at Rheims,
which had been surveyed and studied
for years by tourists, with its price
less pictures and statuary, IS, we are
told, now a mass of ruins. 1t had been
the target of German gunners. This
structure was founded IN
1911, and was one of the most mag
inifcent specimens of early gothic
in the world. The cathed-
raj was famous as the edifice in which
the kings of France were crowned.
The great Temple of Diana at
Ephesus was destroyed by young,
man in order to achieve notorlety.
The cathedral of Notre Dame at
Rheims has been demolished in order
to show the skill of invaders and the
great power of the projectiles which
they can bring into play.
