FIGHTING AN ESCAPED GORILLA.
A Momentoms Quarter of nm Hour In New
Norlk Museum.

Messrs. Morris & Hickman, proprietors
of the museum at No. 210 Bowery, recently
purchased from Donald Burns, dealer in
wild animals, at No. 115 Roosevelt street,
six gorillas, the largest of which was named
Dick, and measured 10 feet from the tip of
his fore feet to his hind claws. They were
removed TO the museum and were to be
transferred to q cage divided into two apart.
ments, one for the five gorillas and the other
for Dick. All the animals but Dick was
successfully transferred 20 the cage, but
Dick refused to go. He was prodded with
poles until he WIS enraged, when catching
the bars of the cage in his fore paws he showed
.he immense structure and jumped into the
middle of the floor. Mr.. Burns, who was
experimenting the removal of the ANIMALS,
grasped large rock and spike with an
iron hook at the end, while Mr.. Clarke and
Mr.. Wilson, the latter 6arnum's former
animal keeper, armed themselves and nd.
vanced on the enraged animal, whose escape
had caused all the human curiosities to rust
from the building. The men were severely
torn by the animal before Mr. Burns sue
ceeded in striking the gorilla in the eye with
the hook. Although the animal was almost
wild with pain, it was then an easy matter
to throw the sack over his neck and he was
then thrown into the cage from which he
made frantic but unsuccessful efforts to es
cape. He soon calmed down, but ii was
grateful relief TO Mr.. Burns, whose life had
been in imminent danger.

SMALL COIN IN CALIFORNIA.

The absence of pennies and small bills
ure. The cause of the scarcity of all bills
under the five, is from the women mailing
them east for the return of small articles,
through the third-class mail. The smallest
change made is a fve-cent piece. Whatever
the prices are, the change is the multiple Of
five. This breeds brood of commercial
and moral ills. The Yankees complain at
first. One must pay five cents for a shoe
string, or box of matches, or mouthful
of candy or fruit, also for poor newspaper.
When the Yankees resist this they are called
mean, but notice the westerners are quick
to take the extra amount. A glass of beer
will be bit ;" in price, which is twelve
and a half cents. Lay down quarter and
you receive back ten cents tho dealer keep
ing the two and a half cents. This is not
only small and mean but it is dishonest,
and breeds general commercial looseness
and shiftlessness. Multitudes of poor men
and boys float the streets without reading
advertisements, because they cannot afford
five cents for an evening paper. If every
man, poor as well as rich, would read the
daily paper it would put life into business
through the advertising. The richest coun.
tries in the world have their pence, sous,
and centimes. Our East is rich and NUM-
ficent and has its pennies. Why not the
West2 After all, few railway trains OF
coppers dumped down along the Pacific
coast, might be the homeopathic dose that
would turn the tide of the present lethargic
disease, and bring back hoalth, honor, and
smartness to the commercial body.

Rev. Dr. Daniel Curry, for twelve

favor of womans rights among other
things, to which he was opposed; that it
had men on the National ticket who
would never have been there had there
been the remotest hope of securing
an election" In reference to the
so-called Mulligan letters" he said :

making great mistake in pushing those
letters to the front SO much. Since they

"A st. John Prohibition meeting was

it is addressed will do we'll to heed:
" The young men who receive promotion
are the men who do not drink ON the sly.
They are not the men who are always ut the

they the men who watch for the clock to

growl if they are required to attend to some

whoilook continually to see whether they
can do any better or not. This class Of
men are never out of a job. They are
scarce. They never strike, they never loaf,
and they do not ask for their pay two or
three weeks before pay day.

1t is stated that there is one regiment in
The Russian army made up entirely of
American commercial drummers While
fighting in Central Asia they met one tribe
that still clings to the old Chinese method
Of fighting by beating gongs. The regiment
was on the run when the gong corps came
on the field. The result was terrible sur
prise to the Chinese. The drummers had
not been well fed, and they hadn't heard a
gong since they left America. The sudden
and desperate rush they made in the direc-
ton from which the sound of gongs came
was irresistible. II was such rush as they
made for hotel dining rooms They swept
all before them, turning defeat into victory.
But they were awfully disappointed when
they found out why the gongs were rung.

Last Friday evening, the Democrats
of this city had parade. 1t was pref
ty and creditable affair, and our Demo
cratic friends have reason to be pleased
with it. About one thousand, including
musicians, were in line at the start, but
as the long route was passed over, num-
bers dropped out. There were clubs
present from Trenton, Trenchtown, Stock
ton, New Hope, and Upper Wakefield,
and delegation of about forty horsemen
from West Amwell. The credit of best
marching was carried off by the Trenton
Clubs, the marching of the Young Men q
Pioneer Club Of that city, being especially
excellent. The line of march was not
begun until $50 and the parade was not
completed until toward 10 o'clock
Everything passed off nicely so far as we
have heard. Many houses were hand
somely decorated and illuminated, the
most beautiful being the residence and
grounds of Mr.. r. Mcdowell, on Cottage
Hill.

Mrs. Catharine Craft, residing on
Franklin street, in this city, celebrated
her 9Sth birthday on Monday last. Her
numerous friends and relatives, with her
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Clark, of Mt. Airy, filled
the house in the evening and left her
many tokens of their esteem. She is now
in her Goth year, is sound in mind and
body, and walks around with vigor. She
recalls the things that happened from
her childhood. She was born on Oct. 27th,
1856; consequently she was just past IS
years at the presidential election in 1904,
when the law allowed all unmarried
women from Is years and over to vote
who were worth Go, or $25. She then
lived in Amwel township, where she was
born, near New Market, and in COM
pany with another young lady and two
gentlemen, went to the polls of old Am
we'll township on horseback and she cast
her vote for Thomas jefferson for Presi-
dent at his second election. She was the
daughter of George Shook, Esq, who
raised family of ten children, on the
farm near Woodsville, now owned by
Richard Shook. She married Noah Craft,
who died in 1860. She is the mother of
nine children; five of them still living.
She has been consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church, at Mt. Airy for
more than fifty years, and is much re-
spected by all who know her. sss4z
