New York World.
Mr.. George Shelby, the friend Of
Ca4l Book, the European traveller,
arrived in the city yesterday, bring
ing with him an interesting little
girl, eight years old, who, lie says,
Is the last Of q race having the an
lmal Characteristics of a chin
panzee monkey and the intellect of
OF human being, The little girl
was exhibited yesterday before a
number of scientific gentlemen at
Central park. She was dressed in
a pretty terra-cotta dress, very
short IN the skirt SO as to reveal
the perfect symmetry Of her limbs.
A gold rope girdle dress. The
girl IS called Krao, and speaks
German and English. Her face
IS round and full and covered with
thick hair. The similarity to a
monkey is seen in the check pouch
cs, ID which she stores her food.
and in the absence of bone in her
very Hat ncse, in her ears and in
her projecting jaw. Over her fore
head her hair is thick and hancs
down her back MET black ringlets.
The hair on her arms grows up
ward. and on her back starts from
her sides and grows toward her sp:-
mi column.
The most striking condolences are
IN vertebr@, in with there are
thirteen ribs, and her fingers.
which twist and in any direc ion.
Her feet are as seryiceable as her
hands,
Mr.Shelby went two years ago to
The country OF Laos, in northern
Siam, where he had heard there
was a strange race Of men. With
the assistance Of the King and his
men he surrounded a village pithed
IN the trees, and with the help of
soldiery captured the child Krao
and Its father and mother. The
father died Of cholera on the voy-
age to England, and the mother
was kept by the King. When Mr..
Shelby took Krao she had the in
stinct of an animal and a man.
Mr.. Shelby began to educate her.
For a long time Krao manifested a
disposition to throw cups at her
governess in lieu of cocoanuts, and
to coil her hands around the neck
of that lady. BY perseverance the
little creature was brought around,
and Is to-day as intelligent as any
metropolitan girl Of her age. Mr.
She lby will exhibit Krao.

A TEXAS SENSATION,
A Young Officer and His Sweetheart
Kill Themselves.

DALLAS, SEpr. GA shock
ing double tragedy was developed
this afternoon by discovery in the
woods just beyond the corporation
limits, on the west front of Trinity
river, of the victims. When first
discovered they lay side by side, the
mans arm extended and partly ly
ing on that of his love, as If in the
agonies of death he sought to en-
brace her in his oonvulsive grasp.
She was apparently aged about
Is, wore a diamond brooch and was
dressed in excellent taste, which
bore no outward evidence Of pow
erty. He appeard to be a few
years her Sc ior. Between them
lay a revolver with two chambers
empty, telling the story Of murder
and suicide. Near by was found
a note writtenin clear, bold hand
srying; as we cannot be unitad in
life, we will be in death. George
Fousteck and Annie Manler. The
appearances and examination of
the bodies lead to the conclusion
that the note was written before
reaching the fatal scene, and that
after the final leave taking, he fred
thepistOl in her mouth. Thus Kill
ling her, he placed the weapon to
his right temple and again pulling
the trigger, and fell beside her.
Death was instantaneous with
both. Beyond the names on the
bit OF paper, nothing further is
known which might give clue to
their lndentity. The bodies, still
warm, were taken in charge by the
undertaken, and will be held until
claimant appears.
DALLAS, Sept 28.-The lovers
tragedy Of yesteday, wherein Geo
Foustech slew Miss Annie Manler
and committed suicide. has been
the all absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation to-day. The bodies have
been visited by hundreds. Fur
ther investigation as to the inden-
t;ty of the victims show that
they came from Fort
Worth, and that their
visit to Dallas was to consummate
their murderous ends. Miss Man
ler's body was claimed by her
brother this evening and taken to
Fort Worth, while thato Foustech
was buried here. Later davel-
opements reveal the fact thatF Gus
tech was young officer in the Ger
man army, visiting America on
years leave of absence. Foustech
and Miss Manler had been stop
ping at an obscure hotel for several
weeks. His parents in Germany
refusing to sanction his marriage
and his leave of absence about to
expire, they concluded to die rath

What a Kiss Really Is.

a kiss is paroxysmal contact
between the labial appcndages at
tached to the superior and inferior
maxillaries respectively of a maa
and woman or two women. The
Younger the parties are the more
paroxysmal will be the paroxism,
and in case it be observed by the
fond father Of the paroxyzed young
lady, there is also likely to be a
perigee between the paroxyzer's
pedalic junction and the pha-
langeal extremities of the metatar-
sus, tarsus, and other bric-a-brac,
depending from the old mans
right leg. The kiss itself is not
the paroxysm. Ii is merely the
vibrations of the superintendent
atmosphere resultant from the ex-
pulsion Of sweetness from each of
the pairs of lips engaged in Great
ing it.
The sensational dispatch lately
sent from Atlanta about the neces-
slty of an early sale Of the State
road, on account of the financial
condition of Georgia, which has
led some northern papers to make
the assertion that the coming
question in Georgia is the repudi-
alton of the state debt, moves the
Rome Courier to remark: "There
is hardly a northern state in the
union that can manage its public
debt more easily than Georgia can
hers, and there is not one in which
reputation is more improbable. /"

While re.visiting Donegal he met
Susan, who consented, under the ap

to marry. After her return to England,
she stated to Messrs. Pryor and Sullivan
that after leaving Cape Town she sat in

when Mr.. Sullivan approached the
critical point concerning Careys pistol,
Susan, realizing the tremendous i'm.

tense mental anguish, and trembled
like an aspen leaf.
Sobbingly she replied "My back
