PICK OUT 1 ROUTE
THE NICARAGUA CANAL DIGGERS
MAKE A REFORT.
EASY GRADES AND LOW HILLS
Cost Only $250,000.000—Looked Over
the Panama Route and Report Un
favorable—The Great Ditch Would
Be 181 Miles in Length—Three
Terminals Are Proposed
lBy Associated Press.)
New York. May 7.—It is understood
that the engineers who have been mak
ing test borings and surveys for a route
for the Nicaragua canal, some of whom
have just arrived here from Greytown,
in charge of H. F. Dose, division super
intendent, Chief Engineer Rubric Miller,
Mr. Reardon, superintendent of borings,
and about twenty assistants, the last of
the pai ty being expected here in about
two weeks on the steamer Alene, believe
that a canal across Nicaragua, costing
less than $250,000.000, is feasible.
The work would include about fifty
miles of embankment and cuttiifv on the
east side, the building of a 110 -foot dam
and a rock cut out of eighteen miles
from Rake Nicaragua to the Pacific
ocean The total length of the route is
181 miles. The highest ridge which it
would be necessary to cut through is
slightly more than 300 feet high. Great
care has been taken to avoid sand.
The work of the commission, of which
the surveying for a canal was a part,
included the investigation of the country
at Darien and a reinvestigation of tlie
Panama route. It was not found feasi
I hie to build a canal at Darien on account
of the mountains. The lowest gaps were
the Caladoni, longitude 77:42, latitude
55:00, with an elevation of 678 feet, and
Sarside gap, longitude 77:50:83, latitude
8:55:08, 1036 feet above sea level.
A route for a canal with three pos
sible terminals at Greytown was sur
veyed.

(By Associated Press.)
Poughkeepsie. N. Y.. May T.—An inter
( esting point has been raised here under
the pension laws. Lizzie Halladay, an
inmate of the Mattewan State Hospital
for the Criminal Insane, is an applicant
! for a pension.
Her husband was a soldier and was
murdered by her at her home near
Warwick, Orange county, New York,
more than three years ago. He had been
; missing for several days, when it was
discovered that she had killed him and
had hidden his body under a pig pen.
She was taken to the asylum at Matte
wan a raving maniac, and now claims
the pension of a soldier's widow, not
withstanding the fact that she became
a widow by murdering her husband
1 Col. V. L. Deiary, a local pension at
torney. says that under the law of June
j 27, 1890, she is entitled to her pension,
'as it excludes only the widows of those
who commit suicide.

ELEPHANT DISPLAYS WISDOM
Old Baidy, Monarch of the Ring
ling' Herd, Shows Great
Sagacity.
The biggest elephant known to be in
captivity is registered at the Coliseum,
in Chicago, this week. He is known by
the title of Old Baldy.
For a generation he has been ihe star
feature of a circus. He is probably as
I old as the Declaration of Independence
and weighs about four tuns. All ele
phants are said to be wise, but this
1 one is conceded by animal students gen
, erally to he tRe smartest of his specie
A'strange sight is the easy ami clever
I way in which Old Baldy gets "in and out
of the huge car in which he travels.
All his traveling mates, and there ar?
twenty-five of them, walk down a heavy
gang plank that inclines from the car
door to the ground. The car doors are
: ten feet high, which makes the big ele
j pliants stoop to get through as they step

out upon the descending plank. Old
Baldy is so tall and so wide that he can
not get out of the car door until tins
gang plank is taken away. He then
drops to his knees, and, wriggling his
great body forward, slowly manages to
get bis front feet out and upon tho
ground.
The floor of the car is about five feet
above the ties of the roadbed, but this
does not keep Baldy from reaching the
solid foundation of earth without mishap
or trying delay. Once bis forefeet are
on the ground he draws his body for
ward. allowing his hind legs to drag
along the ear floor. In this way he is
soon able to get one hind foot out, and
then the rest is easy.
All the other elephants of the herd
look up to Old Baldy as a sort of ad
viser and protector. He seems to feel
this and has quite as much to do with
bringing to book any of the family wlio
go out of the way of right doing as
their master and trainer. Herr Souder.
In fact. Herr Souder claims that Old
Baldy can understand English as well »
as a man. at least when it is spoken j
by him. At tRe winter quarters of the
show in Bara boo, \Vis., Old Baldy is
never chained and is depended upon tto
look after the herd. Last winter onfe
of tile wild girls of the elephant fam
ily, who has an unconquerable appe
tite for cigarettes, named Laura Jean
Libbey. got away while Old Baldy was
napping and made a trip to a cigar shop
in the center of the village. She had
been there before, and as soon as the
tobacco dealer saw her lie began to
supply her with cigarettes, which was
the wise thing to do to keep the shop
from being wrecked. As soon as Old
Baldy missed his charge he tore from
the building in double quick time for
tile tobacconist's shop, where he knew
the truant could be found. He grabbed
Laura Jean by the ear and twisted it
until she cried in pain. Then he picked
up a long iron poker and belabored ilic
truant all the way hack to the winter
barn.
Another member of this interesting
family, one of African origin, with big.
fan-shaped ears and a little head, had t
great habit of stealing. The keepers had
tried every way to break him. During
performances he would reach out his
tiunk and deftly take handkerchiefs, |
belt buckles, etc. from unsuspecting f
away every !
'rything- he
visitors. He would run
chance he got and steal 1
could from the villagers and hide the
stolen articles in all sorts of places about
the animal quarters. When Old Baldy
nas called upon to take the wrong-doer
in hand he let hint escape two or three
times and then furtively watched what
was done with the things purloined.
One frosty morning after the sinner had
returned from his stealing trip Old
Baldy ran him into a corner and beat
him fiercely with a small stake. Then
he took him by the ear to the place'
where the stolen articles were hidden
and made him take each in turn back
to the place from where it was stolen.
After that Old Baldy refuse 1 to let him
eat for several days any of the bran of
which the elephants are so fond. Since
this heroic treatment the African ele
phant knows the difference between
"mine and thine" and will not even
indulge the little dishonesty peculiar to
his kind of dipping into his neighbor's
luncheon.
Still another and possibly more re- »
markable proof that Old Baldy has I
something besides bone back of his ex- |
pansive forehead, or at all events a sort j
cf intuition that guides him rightly, j
is found in his keeper's story of the way
lie helped him to build up a fortune.
Two winters ago Herr Souder con
ceived the idea of having Old Baldy per
form upon a colossal piano.
Baldy seemed to have an ear for rhyme
and time and it was thought this could
he turned to account. After Old Baldy
had been practicing upon this big piano
keyboard for a time lie learned to pick
out a tune.
That an elephant should have the
toothache is one of the things that have
probably come under the observation of.
few people. One of the biggest elephaqts
with the Ringling show is paradoxically
named Babe. This huge animal
winter got very uneasy and troubled hpr I
keepers. She didn't >at mut h and looked
as if the way of things didn't suit her.
Now, while tRe elephant is usually
looked on by the crowd as a good-na
tured beast, as a matter of fact when.it
gets in a tantrum it is the hardest <of
all to manage and is more anxiously
watched by those in charge than aqy,
'other animal in the menagerie. There
fore it was that when Babe began to
sulk the management got worried and a
j good deal of time and talk were used
i in trying to find out the cause and bring
j the big beast back to her former placid
! mood. The Ringlings w inter their show
! at Barahoo, Wis.. which is the eher
| filled birthplace of the family, and a'
! humble barber of that town it was that
, solved the difficulty. He said that Babe
had the toothache.
This my have been a guess, but,
whether or r.ot, Mr. Alexander thought he
could find out. It took a lot of prodding
to make Babe open iter tnuuLli for inspec
tion. Then it was found that a tôotli
was really badly decayed and the gums
considerably inflamed. Several remedies
were applied without any apparent effect
and then it was decided to extract the
tooth.
As a last resort, however. Dr. Rich
mond, a dentist of New York, was ap
pealed to, as Babe had already lost, sev
eral teeth and a fut ther sacrifice of this
kind, of course, would not help her digtfc
ti-n. Dr. Ro hm md said the tooth could
be filled and immediately set about !tà
perform the ta-k. This brought him face
to face with one of the greatest jobs In
his expert: n e. To kill the nerve wires
almost ns thick as spiral springs, were
necessary. It was slow process and sev
eral of the animal caretakers had all they
could do under Dr. Richmond's directions».
The elephant was relieved from pain with
copious applications of cocaine
work proceeded, and. with the wonder
intelligence of her species, she seemed to
realize tile cause of this relief. She kgpl
her mouth open and the men had no
trouble in performing the work. Spec
tools had to be made for cleaning, gri
ing out and filling the cavity, and
trimming and digging out was done with
a keen-edged tool almost as large and
heavy as a cold chisel. Babe seemed to
appreciate the situation and its friendly
circumstances and made not the slightest
show of resistance. After the amalgam
was placed in position Babe's appetite
returned, her digestion improved and
free from pain, she recovered her former
: docility and even temper.

Its Place—Mayor Gamier Makes
His Appointments.
(Special to Inter Mountain.)
Livingston. May 7.—The new mayoi
and council took charge of the city at
la:-it night's meeting of the council. John
T. Smith, who lias maue this city a splen
did officer, albeit he is a democrat, re
linquished the reins of government to
Charles Garnier, who was almost unani
mously elected on the first Monday in
April to till the office.
William Jones was succeeded by Pehr
Wendel from the First ward. Herman
Wolcott took the place of John Harvey
as alderman from the Second ward, while
John Evert- tt succeeded «âmes C. Rob
inson from the Third ward.
Mayor Charles Garnier made his ap
pointsments as follows: Chief of police.
Peter Nelson; city clerk and attorney,
M. R. Wilson; first night watch. A. L.
Hansen: second night watch, John Fa
ber. Considerable interest had centered
in the appointees, and quite a crowd was
present in the council room when the
mayor announced his decision. Every
one appears to lie satis,fled with the ap
pointments. Every appointee is a good
citizen, perfectly competent to discharge
the duties of his office.
citizen, perfectly competent to discharge
the duties of his office.
Mr. Gamier evidently intends to be
mayor. That much was apparent front
the way he ran the first meeting. His
executive ability is splendid. There are
no long drawn out wait-, but he makes
things move with a snap. There is only
one democrat connected with the city
government at present. He is Alderman
Peter Donnait of tile First ward.
One of Ute features of the situation in
Livingston is the re-appointment of Pe
ter Nelson to the position of chief of po
lice. He lias nerved three terms in the
office and has escaped the decapitating
axe at every change of the administra
tion. Republican or democratic admin
istrations are all the same to Chief Nel
son. He manages to fall on the right
side of the fence and makes a very com
petent officer. His political influence In
city affairs in sufficiently strong to en
able him to win out in the contest for
the appointment.
