SUlOlDE OF A BUCK ELK.
A Chicago Beast That Chose Death Bathe: '
Than a. Trip to Philadelphia.
The keeper of the elks lost the most
essential portions of his trousers.
The elk lost his life in the melee by
breaking his neck. Hence the keeper,
who is a just man, feels that things are
about even and holds no ill will toward
the deceased animal.
It all came to pass one morning at
Lincoln Park. The park commissioners
having on hand a supply of buffalo and
elks larger than was needful for the en-
tertainment of visitors had made favor-
able terms with the proprietor of a wild
beast show. The Wild West man, who
wore his hair long and hinted that he
had hunted buflalo on the plains with
the Grand Duke Alexis, was to take two
bufialo bulls of the Lincoln Park breed.
paying therefore $400 each. The elks he
Was to get for $100 each. Keeper De
Vry prepared to cage the animals for
shipment to Philadelphia, where the
Wild West show is getting wilder every
day in anticipation of the summer’s
The buffalo bulls were quiet and docile.
They Walked into the traveling cages
with no undue or unexpected manifesta-
tions with their hoofs or horns. The
elk cow, too, showed a lady like and
tractable spiritand entered her travel- I
ing cage with a certain dignity resulting '
from long residence on the North side. I
But with the buck elk, which is a
scientific term and implies many at-
tributes, it was different. He pawed
the air wildly after being lassoed, and;
'when finally choked into submission dis- i
played a sulkiness of disposition which
cut the keeper to the heart. When the
entrance of the “shifting cage” was ‘
reached the innate viciousness of the‘
elk’s nature, long dormant by the genial ,
influences of North side culture, aw0ke '
in all its savagery.
Opening wide his mouth and display-
ing a double row of wicked teeth, he
gathered the keeper by the slack of his
trousers and shook him. with a vigor
worthy of a better cause. He slammed .
the tired German against either side 0!
the cage, ate heartily of his trousers and
rested only when he had removed the i
best portion of them. The keeper 1
crawled out of the shifting cage, and
told the elk that if the prospect of going
to Philadelphia afiected him that way
he had better not go. , The elk, moved
to a greater frenzy by these remarks,
continued to trash about the cage, and
in a final paroxysm of rage and wounded 1
vanity drove his head against the heavy I
timbers at the far end of the narrow 2
compartment. |

THE TRINIDAD COOLIES.
A Species of Slayery Ezisting in a British
Colony.
Notwithstanding British criticism of
, the manner in which the colored people
, of the South are treated by the whites,
fthere are some things about the treat-
4ment of the free labor problem in the
fBritish island colony of Trinidad that
seem curiously mediaeval in principle.
Soon after the negroes of Trinidad
were freed, now more than sixty years
ago, the planters, upon the plea, doubt-
lem just enough, that the freedmen
would not work, obtained from the
Government special legislation provid-
ing for the importation of East Indian
coolie laborers, When the importations~
of coolies began negroes- were demand
ing to the work they were employed to
do. The law authdrizing . the importa-
tionof coolies provided-that they should
contract to remain with their employers ,
for a term of years, working for 25 cents
a day, and that they should meanwhile
have medical attendance and be returned
free of charge to their homes. A special
export tax on the products of the planta-
tions was laid to pay for the transporta-
tion of the coolies between India and
Trinidad. The importation of the coolies
has been going on ever since that time,
until now from that source and from .
natural increase there are (50,000 coolies
in a population of 200,000. The white
population is small. so that by far the
larger part of the inhabitants are negroes
and coolies. The former, in competition
earn from 4.5 to 60 cents a day. Negro
mechanicsearn as high as $1 a day. The
negroes are a stronger race than the
coolies, and the heavier work still falls
upon them. They are the mechanics of
the island.

STRICTLY Psorsssmmu
A Doctor Who Never Mixes Social 'l'alk
With His Duties u a Physician.
“In my experience,” said awell known
doctor “1 have met with many curious
examples of distorted ideas of what pro-
fessional etiquette should be, but the
most marked case of any is to be found
in a Philadelphia doctor of high stand-
in . -
{iHe possesses considerable skill, and
this, along with many mannerisms and
affections, with a startling nicety of
dress always in the latest fashion, has
made this physician the pet of the world
of fashion, who are willing to pay ex-
orbitant prices for indulging in a social
fad. They all like him because he is so
difierent.
“The doctor is a great stickler on the
ethics of medical practice, and considers
his methods the only proper ones for a
physician to follow. He refrains when
visiting a patient from saying anything
to any person in the house, aside from
asking for information concerning the
case in hand, but a most polite ‘Good-
lieves that the doctor should be apart
from the man; so, in a well defined man-
ner, he conducts a dual life—Dr. Blank
as the physician and Dr. Blank as the
social man.
“You can imagine how this cool pro-r
fessional manner seems in the homes of
his friends, yet no matter how closely
he may be connected when called in pro-
fessionally he always maintains his ate
titude.
“I know of one case in which he was
called in by a college chum to attend his
wife. The two had been the warmest
sort of friends in college, having roomed.
together and graduated in the same
class. But, as such things go in this
world, they had not seen much of each
other in late years, their busines'skeepa
ing them apart and kind fortune having
favored the man’s home with health, so
there was no need for a physician. But
he called his friend in when he needed
him. At the door he met him with a
cordial greeting and a hearty handshake,
only to have a cold ‘Good morning’ and
an indiiferent grasp of the hand in re-
turn. '
"The man, thinking he must have
some cause for his apparently cool, in-
dilferent manner, said no more but con-
ducted him to his wife’s room, where he
answered all the questions put to him by
the physician. As he was going down
stairs he stopped in the library, and tak-
ing up a decanter, said:
“ ‘Allow me to give you a glass of
sherry, doctor?
“This the doctor refused, and proceed-
ed on his way down stairs, and with a
‘good-day’ went out.
“The gentleman was nonplussed by
is strange action. The friend of his
college days so changed! His medita-
tions was interrupted by the ringing of
the bell, and on going to the head of the
stairs found it was the doctor returned.
But it was not the doctor; it was the
man.
“The returned doctor did not wait for
his friend to come down and greet him
but rushed upstairs, and taking his hand
was most cordial. This puzzled the
gentleman more than ever, and he began
to think his friend had really gone in-
sane. But his old college chum dragged
him into the library, where, without
waiting for an invitation from his host,
he took up the decanter and poured out
two glasses of wine. Then, selecting an
easy chair, he sat down with the re-
mark:
“ ‘Well, J ohn, this is like the good old
days gone by.’
“Then he plied all sorts of questions
to the astonished man, who was so
amazed thateverything seemed jumbled
to him. Finally he recovered himself
to ask him the meaning of his actions
upon his first visit. The doctor explain-
ed how rigidly he adhered to a line of
ethics in medical practice, and how he
never presumed that a. professional 0611
was intended to he a social visit.
“ ‘Now,’ he went on, I "finished my
professional call, went outside and wait-
ed awhile; then I made my social call,
for I was anxious to see and talk to
you, John. I never allow any of my pa-
tients to say I overstepped the line of
professionalism even one iota.
“My life as a doctor and my life as a
man are two diflerent things altogether,
so that they are perfect strangers. It
may seem strange, but it is an idea I
have.’ ”
CH URCH INVITES BlCYCLlSTS.
They hilly Go in Their Riding T038, and
Their \Vheels W'ill Be Cured For.
Sunday bicyclists will be welcomed in
the Church of the Redeemer in Astoria,
the leading Episcopal church in Long
Island City.
Dr. Cooper began his address a recent
Sunday morning in these words:
“Yormg men. if you must ride bicy-
cles on Sundays, come to church. no
matter if you are attired in riding cos.
tume. We will make you welcome and
I will make arrangements to have your
wheels taken care of during services.
Two sons of a communicant of this
church went bicycling one Sunday re-
cently.
“Before leaving their mother told
them not to return until they had been-
to church. They arrived at the church
door here dressed in bicycle costume
shortly after service began. There
wheels were taken care of, and they
were escorted to the rectors pew. and it
pleased me to see them there. Do not
stay away from church Sundays be-
cause you ride a bicycle. Bring the
wheel to church with you.”
