MAT. SCOTT AND JUMBU‘ HOW HE CONTROLLED THE BIGGEST ELEPHANT. mu thc UK 11 o lh paug'h and Sells lll‘os.’ shows; Mr. Gardner has been around the World repeatedly. Continuing he said 2 "The general supposition obtains that. elephants may be handled only by the severest methods. In some respects that. is true. But there are some elephants that will not stand} any s-ort'of punishment. They know their strength and will use it if proâ€" x‘uked. One of the most, noted il- lustrationc of this fact was Jumbo. Mr._]3ailey purchased Jumbo from the ZoologiCnl Gardens of London He brought with him Matthew Scott. who had charge of him from the time he first, came from Siam to London. "Now. Scott was one of the gentlth little men ever seen. He has been working in Mr. Bailey’s monagerie since Jumbo’s death, tak- ing care of small animals and, by the Way, he is in Europe with Mr. Bailey now doing the some thing. Jumhovwas the only elephant he OVCI‘ handled. “When Jumbo arrived we all went down to the dock. There had been enormous difficulties in getting him «board the ship at London, and like difficulties were expected here in unloading him. Mr. Bailey sent Scott to see Jumbo. The little man went in and began to talk to the biggest; brute in the world since preâ€" historic times. HIS SOFT, GENTLE VOICE could scarcely be heard. W' hands empty Scott went. Jumbo in his room, which l‘ built upon the upper (lack ship, and walked up to hi1 frdently and said : “llollo, Jumbo ! Nice old Won’t you come with me, . Come on, Jumbo ! Come a' “And as he loosened th upon Jumbo's ankles the hi stepped out of the house : know that he had been superseded as well as we knew it. “One evening at Lansing, Mich, Pilot got loose from his chains, and, without making any noise, he workâ€" ed himself around in front of Jumâ€" bo’s place of honor in the 111enag'erie. Suddenly Scott felt himself seized and dragged backwards, and in the next instant he saw before him the enormous trunk of Jumbo. Lookine next instant he saw before him the enormous trunk of Jumbo. Looking beyond the protecting trunk he saw the maddened Pilot standing before him, shrieking: his anger at being prevented by Jumbo from wreaking his dislike upon Scott. But old Jumbo stood just there, holding Scott between his trunk and his fore legs, and Mr. Pilot knew it would be had work for him to come any closer. rI’ilot’s shrieks were. heard all around the show, and in a moment his keepers came running in from the cook tent, where they were eatâ€" ing their supper, and for a While they had a lively time of it getting Pilot back to his place and getting him "Another time, at Ottumwa Pilot, led the other elephants stampede. AL firsL it seemed Jumbo would join them. but old Scott said, ‘Horc. Jumlu ‘Elcphunts are very peculiar Us.

Stay here, Jumbo,’ and I am blessed if the big fellow didn't quiet down ln an instant. A few moments later the other elephants get beyond 'conâ€" trol of their keepers and bolted on‘ through an alloy at the side of the showâ€"grounds. Old Scott took Jumâ€" bo, and hurrying out to the end of the alley, where the elephants were shrieking a sort ol‘ :1 pow-Wow, as if they were deciding" what. they would do, Scott sent Jumbo into the alley ahead of him, saying", ‘Send them home, Jumbo. Make them go back, Jumbo.’ And back they Went.

Sologoob not only saved himself, but was suc- cessful in rescuing the Russian milâ€" lionaire tea merchant, S. I’opon‘. On Popoi‘f’s death, ten years ago, a will was found leaving Count Solo- g00b his Whole fortune. But the fam- ily of Popofi disputed this Will. say- ing that the signature was a forgery instigated by the Count. He was arrested and expert evidence was cal- led in. The experts were firm in their opinion that; the signature was false. and Sologoob Was sentenced to life imprisonment in Siberia. ‘ Last year a woman named Zooâ€" bova came to his wife and said that she had in her possession letters from Popotl‘ which would conclusively prove that the signature of the will was genuine. She asked a half share of the money to be gained if the case was successfully reopened.’ And so the an‘air has come before the public again with added interest, for ZOODOVa has been arrested, since it has leaked out that she was bribed to withhold the letters which would have saved Solog‘oob's reputation. Fifty thousand dollars and a further sum of $100,000 are said to‘ have been promised her for keeping the letters, and as she did not receive the money she turned to the princess and betrayed l’opoff’s relations, who will also probably be arrested. The innocence of Sologool) is beâ€" lieved everywhere, and the president of the court has obtained ail order for his release. _A much-talkedâ€"olâ€"case is at present, being tried in the Moscow courts. the result, of which will probably expose a gross miscarriage of justice ten years ago. Count, Sologoob, the son of the famous Russian author. inher- ited at, his father's death a huge forâ€" tune, which he rapidly squandered in gambling and at. the end of five years was practically pcunilcss. Later he married the Princess Che- looschova and received a dowry of $1,000,000 with her. St. Ilippolyto, Qua, May 12. (Speâ€" cia1)â€"â€"Mr. L.
