August 29, in the American Journal of Education:

The most colossal and ponderous pachyderm ever in captivity is now on exhibition at the Bostock’s animal arena at the Pan American Exposition, and is known as Jumbo II.

At the outbreak of the Abyssinian War Jumbo II, who was then called Rostum Single, was deported along with nineteen others. Although wounded severely, he stuck to his position whilst shot and shell flew in all directions, trumpeting shrilly and keeping the herd together, which otherwise would have stampeded.

September 4, in the Atlantic Monthly:

The Electric Tower is a great center of brilliancy. There are perhaps not a half million electric bulbs, but there are hundreds and thousands of them and you are willing to believe that there may be millions. Out of the city of beauty rises a massive pillar, like an overlooking flower in a gorgeous garden, a centerpiece in a cluster of gems, a venerable fabric of jeweled lace. There it stands, glowing with the lights of many thousand bulbs flashing its image in the basin at its feet, showing its gleaming dome to the people in neighboring cities.

The September 6 itinerary of President McKinley’s visit to the Expo:

8:15 a.m.—Leave the Milburn home.

11:15 a.m.—Arrive at Niagara Falls.

12:05 p.m.—Luncheon at the International Hotel.

2:00 p.m.—Tour of Niagara Power House.

4:00 p.m.—Arrive at the Temple of Music for public reception.

4:07 p.m.—He said he waited in line, that he had placed the revolver in his right hand and had covered it with a handkerchief, and that he put the hand and revolver in his right-hand pocket and kept it there until he came to the place in the Temple of Music where the crowds were sifted into single file. Then he took the revolver, concealed under the handkerchief, from his pocket and held his hand across his stomach and, when he was opposite the President, he fired the shots.
