Prof. Cummings lecture on Thursday
ON the origin and destiny Of man was
listened TO By larger audience than
greeted his previous efforts, and
was intensely interesting to those pres
ent, judging from the close attention
they gave his discourse. He showed that
the structure Of man and the higher
order Of apes was the same in bone,
muscle, nerve and brain, and the as
sumption that the lsttsr cannot reason
ID yet to be proven. In the interior Of
Africa there are certain tribes so little
above the ape in intellect and language
that they can scarcely articulate 80 as
to be understood and can't count the
fingers on their hands. And their high
est sense ofright and wrong amounts to
this: If l steal mans boomerang its all
right. If man steal my boomerang 1t is
all wrong. Though Judging from prac-
tice, he need not have gone all the way
to Africa TO find that stage Of develop
ment.
Indeed it was pretty plainly limited
that man had not yet left all the mon
key behind him. And in the fact that
1t is impossible to make the monkey
the second time sick or drunk on to-
bacco or whiskey we will have 10 score
oue in favor Of the monkey.
. Conditions, surrounding and necessi-
ties operating through long millions Of
years form and modify and direct the
onward march of man and animals, and
have resulted in the present stage OF
development.
In an attempt by scientific gentle
man of London to educate some OF the
brightest specimens Of apes he could
find, the greatest difficulty he encsun-
tered was to hold their attention any
length of time. But not any more
difficult than Horace Greeley found 1t to
retain human audience at An Agricul-
tural Exhibitionin Connecticut when the
Snowman raised the cry Of "Two head
ed pigs to be seen for ten cents" The
thousands scampered to more congenisl
surroundings, and left the great editor
alone in his glory, to tell what he knew
about farming. The naked savage Of
the dark continent sticks his ears full
of trifles which he calls his property,
and thus develops An ear that lays like
q flap over his shoulders.

witches the flies from his body would

! Without pretending ~ give in full
the facts and arguments advanced by
the Prof. we would invite thinking men
and women to hear him for themselves,
and however they may differ from his
conclusions they will find an entertain
ment far superior to the majority OF
those which draw such crowded houses
in the same blilding. The same sub
ject will be further illustrated on next
Tuesday evening and he wishes it par
ticularl y announced that he will speak
fifteen minutes before the regular lee
ture begins on the origin and develop
ment OF petroleum.

How to Water HOrses.

In cold weather give one pailful
at time three times day. This is
enough unless you are working them
regularly then give them little more
but not to exceed four pailsful day.
In warm weather when they are
brought in, first sponge out the mouth
and nostrils well with cold waters
After few spongings they will wait
for it to be done. Then give them
MOTTO exceed a pailful apiece, and after
feeding give one more pailful before
you commence working. Don't let
them go without long enough to make
them want more than this. If allow

in the cultivation Of any crop adapted
to it. The idea that the number Of
acres in crops indicates the fairness
income must be abandoned, and the
numbers of bushels per acre must be
looked for instead. There is cartain
ly less profit in blowing fifty acres, to
raise 1000 bushels of grain, that in
plowing but twenty-five to grow the
same amount, and trusting to good
seasons for fair crops will not be
thought of by the improved farmer. A

IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.

THE FIREMENs FUND INSURANCE COMPANY
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
The Board of Directors OF the Firemen's Fund In
surance Company, at No. 1877 Broadway have decided
to take no more business and to reinsure their
risks on the best possible terms This company has
been in existence about twenty years. having been
started i'll May. 1885, under charter by which they
promised to pay certain percentage of their profits
to the fund for the maintenance of the widows and
orphans of the members of the Volunteer Fire Depart
mcnt In 1866 that part of the charter abolished.
and, up to that time, the company had paid 5 500
into the Volunteer Fire Department fund.
Since the company was organized the receipts on
premiums amounted to 81, 467 800 and tue sum paid
out in losses amounted to Ss76,475. The company
has felt severely the depression in business on ac-
of their risks being scattered throughout the
country. About o month ago Insurance Commits
soner Smyth spent two weeks examining the affairs
OF the company. His report, which includes the
Sl50UO0 capital stock as assets. makes the gross
sets $lS1 160, and the liabilities $4,000. This gave
the company technical impairment OF S21 900, or
fourteen per cent. Ii it had been twenty-five per
cent the Insurance Commissioner would have wound
up its affairs.
The officers of the company say the cause OF this
impairment was the depreciation in government six
per cent bonds, and claim that they have lost since
1875 by such depreciation $50 900, of which $500
was lost during the past year. They of opinion,
If fair arrangements are made for rensuring the
risks of the company, that they will be able to pay
the stockholders ninety per cent.

OWNEY GEOGHEGAN'S SALOON.

Colonel Spencer yesterday appeared before the Ex
else Board to close the case of 'Owney'' Geoghegan
which has been for long time under investigation
and in which quite mass of testimony has been
taken. He said. in opening. that he desired to sum
up the case simply to show how groundless were
the charges brought against the saloon which his
client. Matthew Coyle, owned, and which Geoghcgan
managed Az to the Excise Boards having
cny power to revoke the license he could
speak confidently. The statute accorded them the
power 10 revoke licenses in of violation of the
Excise law. and under other circumstances. In
the of Geoghegan charge of excise violation
had been made or substantiatcd. The efforts put
forth by the prosecution had all been directed to
making the saloon appear disorderly house. Had
they succeeded in doing so the Board could
have applied to the Graud Jury to have the
place indicted, but they could not OF themselves re-
woke its license. The Colonel then went to show
that in all the evidence taken thorc not point
which any Court could sustain the charge that the
saloon disordcrly place.
When Colonel spencer concluded the Commission
crs announced their intention OF rcscrvng their do
