THE AFRICAN PYGMIES.
Their Visit to the Hoosier Capital and
the Reception Accorded Them.


FaTini's African Pygmies, or dwarf earth
men, the first of this extraordinary type Of
the human race ever seen on these shores,
reached indianapolis yesterday, and in the
evening held private reception at Drew &
Co.'s Dime Museum, where they are to
exhibit during the present week. The
family, which consists of six persons, is &C.
compsnied by Mr.. w. A. Healey, who went
to Africa expressly TO procure them for Mr..
G. A. Fsrini The family consists of chief,
NCO y. Qui thirty-fve years old, who,
although four feet six inches In height was
looked upon as q giant IN his own country;
his wife, Marley, four feet and six inches
In height sn4 forty years old; three sons re-
spec',YoIy twenty four, nineteen anG six years
age, and all exceedingly diminut-ve, and
N'lcy, twelve years old, the daughter OF
parents who ran away and left her alter they
had agreed 10 leave their country and 60 to
England. Mr.. Healey introduced the little
strangers to the select company OF gentlemen
and ladies invited TO the museum, and gave
an interesting account OF his trip TO the in
terror of Africa in search of his human curl
osities. BE claimed that his proteges were
OF the race of pygmies spoken of centuries
ago in the legends of the Orient, and who
had furnished food for the fantasy OF the
poets and the literature of the Greeks. They
were Of the 'sme race Of little beings that
Herodotus & Aristotle called attention to
as existing the Lybian Desert, and later
described and spoken OF by travellers who
have attempted to penetrate what is known
as the dark continent in all ages.
They are referred to by Kolle, Stanley,
Schweinfurth, Du Chaillu, Bsttel, Dapper,
De Zanture and other travellers, and they
appear to belong to one of the series OF
dwarf nations which, although now on the
decline, extend nearly across from east to
west and from north to south of Africa.
the strange family appeared very happy
with those present, although they could not
speak word of English. as well as the fact
that they appeared With little covering to
hide their nakedness. they preferring their
natural dress to that of more civilized or
modern socistvs They furnished a very
interesting exhibition for about fifteen
minutes.

Death of DR.. A. J. Paine.

The news over the wires, Saturday
morning, announcing the death of
DIR. Andrew j. Paine, at Jasper, was
very unexpected and produced gen.
eral feeling of sadness and sorrow in
this community. Just week before
he had returned from a short visit to
his sisters at this place. He was not
well when here, in fact, was detained
one day longer on account of illness,
but no one thought that in so short a
time his illness would terminate thus.
DR.. Paine was well known in this
community, having been born and
raised here, and after the completion
of his medical education, practiced
his medical profession here for sever
al years. He was naturally intelli-
gent, and having received literary
and business education, he was well
prepared to begin the study of medi-
cine, which, under the tuition of his
father and uncle, Drs. Alfred and
Bird Paine, two very eminent and
successful physicians, he was well pre-
pared to enter the medical school at
Louisville, where he graduated. Few
young men were better qualified to
begin the practice of physic than DR..
A. j. Paine.
For honesty and integrity no fami-
ly ever enjoyed a better reputation
than the family to which he belong
ed, and he was no exception. What
ever may have been his faults (none
are without them) he was strictly
honest, upright and kind-hearted-a
true friend and Christian gentleman.
He died at Jasper on Saturday
morning, March 2Sth, about 5 o'clock,
of inflammation of the stomach, after
an illness of one week.
His remains were brought to this
place Monday for interment, accom-
panied by his brothers, William, DR..
John, and Victor, and other friends.
The funeral service, at 10 o'clock,
was conducted by the Odd Fellows,
of this place, from the residence of
DR.. j. B. Ritchey. Many friends
and acquaintaintances from town and
county were present to take part in
the service and follow the corpse to
its last resting place in the new GEM
etery, there to remain until the morn
of the resurrection.
