"Well sir, that's the question that's most agi tating the Big Top highbrow at the present time. To begin with he drinks seven dollars worth of distill ed water every day, and, added to that, five cans of Borden's Eagle brand. "Now, I am told by married folks (I'm a bachelor myself, you know) that one can will last a baby and keep him in condition so that he can squall the roof off, for five days. 1 don't know whether that dope is alright or not, but I do knoi that the baby elephant gets away- with six cans every twenty-four hours. Now, let's see, that's enough to keep six human babies alive and kicking for nearly a week, and you can fig ure out for yourself just about how much it's going to cost to raise him till he's a year old. "Of course, by this time I suppose everyone knows that he was born at Salinas, Cal., on Thursday, April the JIAIIiUOAl) A DOITS NEW POLIfY Hoards of Inquiry will hereafter be convened to ascertain the cause and fix the responsibility, where such Immediate cause Is not clearly manli fest, for all accidents on the South ern Pacific, according to information made public in the Reneral offices of the Southern Pacific today. Full publicity as to the findings of such in quiry boards will also be given. This is a new move on the part of the Southern Pacific, and is in line with its policy of full publicity for accidents, adopted several years ago. Following an accident that is not of minor consequence, the ranking of ficial on the division on which the accident occurs shall convene the board, which board shall comprise two disinterested persons not con nected with the railroad, and the division officers representing the op erating, mechanical and engineering departments. The board must visit the scene of the accident and must take the testimony of employes and eye-witnesse, persisting In the inves tigation until the causes are deter mined. Should a division board of inquiry fall to reach a conclusion, a second board, comprising higher offi cials shall be convened and if the findings of the second board be not conclusive the general manager will convene a third board. The Instruction to officers who shall convene Inquiry boards state upeclflcally that the responsibility must be fixed regardless of Individu als or Interest affected. The findings must be turned over to the general manager and from the latter' office to the press. Prominent business men from the neighborhood in which an accident may occur usually alt a member of auch board and of ev rral inquiries already held the find ing of these boards have all been unanimous. lUili Wanted.

' 25th, and we placed him on exhibi tion at Oakland the following Mon day. Thriller? , My dear . sir, he's a perfect riot. At every afternoon's performance we have him pushed around the hippodrome track in a glass cage. His mother pushes the cage. He's a sturdy little chap now and you should see him playing with two big footballs that the boys of the circus bought for him. "At the time of his birth his moth er refused to own him, and, in fact, endeavored to kill him, so we had to take him away from her. He is now being raised entirely by hand and bids fair to grow up and be as husky as any member of the herd. "When born he weighed 180 pounds, was 2 6 inches high, three feet long, and his trunk measured 10 inches. He is the only elephant ever bred and born in this country, which really presents one of the most remarkable cases known to naturalists. "Baby Hutch, for that's his name, will be exhibited when Our circus ar rives here on May 30, both in the menasrerle and during the regular performances." "AUTUMN." Titanic' Band Chose Fitting Hymn to Play Just Before Ship Went Down. In their accounts of the sinking of the Titanic the survivors told how. Just, before the ship went down, the bund on deck was playing "Autumn." "Autumn" appears In un Episcopa lian hymn book, and, as will be read ily seen, there are many things In It that would fit appropriately the situ ation on the Titanic in the last mo ments of pniu and darkness there. One line. "Hold nie up In mighty waters," particularly may have sug gested the hymn to some minister aboard the doomed vessel, who. it has been suggested, thereupon asked the "ACTCMN." remaining passengers to join In sing ing the byoin. In a last service aboard the sinking ship, soon to be ended by death Itself. Following la tbe hymn: God of mercy and compassion.

Neat Summer Resort. . Manager George Coad, of the Coad Confectionery, has ben remodeling his ice-cream parlor, and its patrons will now find it one of the coolest and most inviting places in the city. The place ndw represents a tavern or tree garden in the mountains, beautiful scenery, painted by Mr. Hayes of the Star theater, being .employed to bring out this effect. In each of the rocky crevices is a small table and four chairs, and over them are hidden electric fans. The whole is intensely green and will have an inviting as pect in hot weather. Jas. C. Dahlmann, serving his third term as mayor, Omaha, Nebr., again was successful in receiving the over whelming support of the voters in the primary election. He also success fully rid himself of a bad case of kid ney trouble by the aid of Foley Kid ney Pills, and writes: "I have taken Foley Kidney Pills and they have riven me a srreat deal of relief, so I cheerfully recommend them."
