number of those killed by the sword and
bayonet was frightful. The Jewish intel

great number Of women and young girls
having applied to the civil authorities fol
protection, were brutally driven away
They fled to their homes and jumped out
of windows in order not to fall into the
hands of the murderers."
The Priasowsky Krai, published in
Rostev-on-the Don, says:-"In the Poodle
quarter almost 14,700 Jewish victims OF
pillage during the pogrom were registered
in the Lybed quarter, 5000; in that of the
Jewish market, 5000. Other anti-SemitiC
massacres are reported i'll sixteen towns
In the vicinity of Kieff"
Meir Grossman, representative of the
Jewish National Council of the Ukraine

ton regarding pogroms in several cities
in which 10000 Jewish adults and children
were slain. He has supplied the loca
Yiddish press with a list of 1900 victims.

no GET OUT QUICKLY BECOME
WARDEN, SAYS MAJOR LAWES,
TAKING CHARGE OF SING SING
Prisoners Laugh at Joke by New
Official and Promise
Cooperation.
ESPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD.l


SING SING, N Y, Thursday.-While
the prison band played "Auld Lang Syne"
and twelve hundred prisoners cheered
wildly. Major Lewis E. Lawes. new war
den of Sing Sing. walked into the mess
hall while the convicts were at dinner to-
day and formally took charge of the
prison. According to old-time keepers no
warden ever received such a thunderous
demonstration of welcome as the tie-time
army officer and progressive prison man.
Major Lewis addressed the prisoners in
short, snappy sentences. Frequently he
was applauded by officials and prisoners,
but he caused laughter and cheering when
he said to the prisoners" you want to
get out of this place quickly you ought
TO come in as warden" The convicts,
who had read recently that Major Lewis
ds the thirty-ninth warden of Sing Snig in
seventy-five years and the average Off
cial life of a warden is less than two
years, quickly caught the point.
Every one in the prison was waiting
anxiously to see the man Governor Smith
personally sought and urged to take
charge of the prison. Soon as the pris-
oners caught siught of the young man
they conceded that Ma ior Lewis measured
up to all they had read in his praise. The
new warden arrived from New York city
reformatory which he had managed on
the honor plan for three years.
Charles F. Rattigan. Superintendent OF
Prisons, introduced Major Lawes to the
staff Of officials and then led him into the
mess hall. The prisoners caught sight of
the nattily attired young man. walking
with military carriage, behind Mrs Rat
tigan. A prisoner shouted, Here's Major
Lawes. regular fellow" There was a
deafening cheer and the band blared forth
its welcome. The Mutual Welfare League,
which had presented to the new Warden
a set of resolutions pledging the loyalty
and cooperation of the prisoners, had
erected a speakers platform. The Off
cials, however, did not mount it, War
den Daniel Grant. whom the Major re-
lieved stood a few feet away.
Superintendent Rattigan, in introduc-
ing Warden Lawes. said II think he is
capable of handling you fellows. Some l
know are little tough. daughter Some
are all right, some all wrong. want you
to give him every possible consideration.
He was represented to me as a regular
fellow who will give you a chance-every

NARROW ESCAPE FROM MAD ELEPHANT.

These are circus days and many of our Texas
boys and girls will go 20 the circus and look with
wonder again at the biggest of all four-footed
beasts-the elephant Here is a true elephant
story as told by British officer:
A British officer who was attached to one of
the military missions i'm this country tells of the
escape a friend Of his in India had from a mad
elephant relates a writer in the Sun and New
York Herald. The brute had been making mighty
efforts to wrench up the stake to which it was
chained and at last il succeeded With the first
desperate bound forward the heavy ankle chains,
frayed and worn in one link, had snapped asunder,
and with the huge stake trailing behind it the ele-
plant charged down on the camp with a scream
of fury.
The cry was raised, "Run, run. Sahibs, the
tusker has gone mad. lie has broken oose"
The white men started 10 their feet and ran.
The servants fled i'm all directions One man was
overtaken and killed, another was seized and
flung into the river, and then the maddened beast
vented his fury on the tent
From the other shore Of the river the British
crS could see the elephant who had thus scat
tered them i'm perfect frenzy of rage, kneelng
on the shapelcss heap of CLOTH furniture and poles
and digging his uSks with savage fury into the
hangings and canvas in the very abandonment
Of rage
Then they realized that their friend and COM
pauion, Mcintyre had been left in the tent. They
held their breath and dared not look into one
Others faces. Everything showed as clearly as
if it had been day. They saw an elephant tossing
the strong canvas canopy about. Thrust after
thrust was made by his tuskS into the folds of
cloth. Raising his huge trunk he would scream
in the very frenzy of his wrath, but at last he
staggered 70 his feet and rushed into the jungle.
And then TO the joy of the onlookers a muf-
fled voice heard from beneath the tent folds:
''Get me out of this, You fellows or II be smoth-
cred 20
In trying to leave the tent Mcintyre S foot had
caught in a rope and the whole falling canopy had
come down upon him, hurting the table and a few
cane chairs over him. His escape had been mirac-
ulous. The brute in one of his savage, purpose
less thrusts had pierced the ground between Macs
arm and his ribs, pinning his Afghan coat into
the earth.

EAGLE AND SALMON FIGHT
SEEN BY SCHOONER'S CREW

Every man aboard the schooner Roosevelt.
from the master to the cook, which recently sailed
into the port Of Seattle WASH said they would
take an oath that they saw huge bald eagle take
a wild ride on a salmon's back in the stretch of
water between Cape Nudge and Seymour Mar
rows, Gulf Of Georgia. And they brought the
eagle to prove it.
The Roosevelt was on its way to Seattle from
the fishing banks in Hecate Strait Shortly after
passing Seymour Narrows members Of the crew
said they noticed bald eagle flying close to the
water, near the vessel. As they watched the big
bird skimming near the surface, a spring salmon
estimated to weigh about 30 pounds leaped clear
of the swift-moving current Quick as a flash the
eagle drove his sharp taons into the fshs back
There was great splash as the big springer
dived, taking the eagle beneath the surface All
hands rushed to the rail to watch the struggle
Three times they said, the fish and the bird disap-
peared in the water while the Roosevelt steered
a course close behind them.
Finally the eagle loosened its hold on the sal
mon and Topped over on the surface of the water
completely exhausted. Ii had put up a game
fight but had lost its prey The crew of the
Roosevelt pulled the bird aboard with a boat
hook. The eagle was nearly drowned, but on
deck il soon recovered and showed fight
While the battle between the bird and the
fish was in progress two other eagles, the Roose-
welt s men said flew around the vicinity scream
ing loudly. Captain Barney Pedersan presented
the captured eagle to of the local public parks.

SUGAR FROM sAwDUsT
NOT FOR TABLE USE

The recent announcement that
sugar can be produced from saw

the housewife, for the kind Of
sugar which can be produced is
not the same kind as the ordinary
"table sugar" the "cane sugar"
or even the "beet sugar" of the
breakfast table, 1t is glucose, an
entirely different substance chem
ically, and will not help for a long

| OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

ors. Amethysts, red and yellow Jasper chalce-
dony of every tint topaz, onyx, carnelian and
other stones abound The logs, in fact, are a
blend of these stones. One of them 100 feet long
and to 5 feet in diameter, spans narrow can
yon and is called the Agate Bridge. 1t is chiefly
composed of agates and jaspers.
AS to the origin of the petrifcations it is sup
posed that in past times the trees were over
whelmed with volcanic ashes and hot silicious
waters from geysers. The timber is analogous to
pine or cedar and as it decayed the silica, dyed
with various salts of iron and manganese in solu-
ton, took its place.
