The Avondale zoo has lost none of its
favor with the people of Birmingham as
a recreation ground.
Yesterday an exceptionally large CROWD

Keeper Hall announces that Miss Fancy
was never in a more perfect condition.
She has increased in weight 800 pounds
and, according to her keeper, there was
only one elephant with the Ringing Cir
Gus which even equaled her in size. Re
Gently she has been taught some new
tricks and now kneels for the pleasure
of the crowds of children who feed her
apples and peanuts, which she eats with
great delight
Two new bears have been added to
the collection and a den for them is be-
ing erected near the house of the big
bear Several young llamas serve to
swell the total of the collection, and in
addition some of these animals have been
sold to ZOOS in other cities.

he had received valuable assistance from
Captain Chichester at Manila at a time
of great anxiety. Admiral Dewey in
formed him that the presence at Manila
of German cruisers with heavier dis
placement than that of the American
ships caused him to realize the grave
haracter of the danger menacing his
country in the event of the German ships
beginning the hostile action, of which he
at the time had reason to he appre.
hensive. He described how lie whole
American fleet watched in silent anxi-
ETY. the visit of the German admiral to
Captain Chichester's ship, and the. in
tense relief with which they saw, shortly
after the German adniraPs return to his
own ship, his majestys ships under Cap
tain Chichesters command hoist their
anchors and shift their anchorage to q
position which placed them in the direct
line of fire between the German and
American ships. No action has ever done
more to promote the friendly feelings of
one nation to another than that action of
Captain Chichester, which believe to
have been absolutely spontaneous on his
part, and which action is well known to
every officer in the naval service of the
United States. I trust that the noble
Viscount may be able to assure the
house that the rumors attributing to
American officers action so different
from that of Captain Chichester are
wholly and absolutely without founda-
ton"
