CUT HIS THROAT.

Joseph barber, Of Near Cedarville, Ends
His. Career While on a Protractsd
Spree.
Word reached here this morning from
Cedaryille. by telephone, that Joseph Bar
Der, farmer living some four miles east of
that place, son of S. G.. Barber, the hotel
keeper in the village, had been found in the
hay NOW of the barn at his place with his
throat cut He Is said to have been drink
ing heavily for some time and had not been
seen about home since Wednesday morn
ing. At that time he left the house, saying
he was going TO make hay, and when he
did not come to his meals or return in the
evening, he was supposed to have gone to
town and stayed all night, as he frequently
did. But this morning when the hands fed
the horses and found none missing, they
suspected something wrong, and search was
made.
4 cOlOred man on the place named
Brown went into the barn and found the
body of Mr.. Barber lying in the hay NOW
with a gnastly cash in his throat from
which his life's blood had flowed. He was
dead, and evidently by his own hand, but
the knife with which it was done was not
found. but likely slipped down in the hay.
1t looks mysterious, and a little like foul
play, that the knife does not appear. 1t is
not certain just how long he had been dead,
but probably since yesterday morning.
The alarm MAS given to Mr. Barber
wife and family and the neighbOrhood, and
there is great grief over the unhappy end
ing of his life. Mr.. Barber was about thirty
two years old, and was not known to have
any family trouble. He leaves two chill
dren. His wife is a daughter of John
McLain, the contractor and builder at Ce-
darville. Fred Smith. of this city, is a
brother-in-law of Mr.. Barber.-Xenia Ga

MONKEY COMEDIANS.
Into Ecstasies over Two Trained Mon

The Orphans at the ChiIdrens' Home 60
Into Ecstasie. over Two Trained Mon
keys.
For several days past two Italian organ
grinders, with two performing monkeys,
have been playing TO big business" at the
street corners of the city. Yesterday Drs.
J. W. Morrison and Kennan very kind
heartedly engaged the quartette TO 60 out to
the Children's Home, north of the city, and
give the little people out there an hour of
childish pleasure in watching the antics OF
the simiddT. The result was even more
than was anticipated. The children fairly
went into ecstasies over the marvelously
cute and clever antics of the
half-human, half f-animal, wholly irresist-
ible little rascals, and the place rang with
their delighted shouts of pleasure. The
day will live in the minds of the orphans
forever, when more serious matters have
been forgotten.
As soon as the sons of Italy arrived and
had ground out Sweet Violets" sausage
for one brief round, dinner was announced
and the children came trooping in with
radiant faces. But what was their
amazement and delight to see demure little
monkey, Tom" seated grayely at the
table, looking around him with a bIdse air
that would have honored professional
diner-out. The children stopped and
gazed for a long, delightful moment
in utter silence, and then with
a wild impulse, they abandoned all restraint
together and let out shout of joy that
made the dishes rattle. From that instant
Tom" was the center Of absorbed atten-
ton. He was literally helped" and got
away with his bread, potatoes and other
vegetables with an air of profound gravity
and appreciation that nearly killed the rest
at timetables. Jennie, " the clown monkey,
who has a propensity for leaping wildly
and madly at everything she sees and fan
cies, was not allowed at the table for fear
she might make some objectionable break
not down on the printed programmes.
After dinner the children had an hour or
two of the purest fun. The monkeys are
really trained to a marvellous degree, and
fenced. shot guns, played drums, fiddles
and tambourines, caught money thrown to
them with all the expertness of a League
baseman, smoked pipes, and did everything
else imaginable. The Italians own three
more monkeys, and will do" the coming
fair

Washington Notes in Pittsburg Dispatch.
Some Qneer things can be seen about the
capital during the last days of the session.
one Of the queereSt is the crowd OF collect
Ors. Coming to congress may be an honor,

ble. The average Of dead beats in congress
is quite as great as outside. On the last
days of the session you will find swarm
of florists, livery-Stable men, hotel and
boarding keepers, cOnstables and pro-
fessiOnal collectors swarming the corridors,
looking after delinquent members and try
Ing to catch them i'll the halls There are
members who systematically rob hotels and
haberdashers and ali sorts of tradesmen
right and left. Nothing can be legally done
with member OF congress for obtaining
money under false pretenses, though it is
! jailable offense when committed by common
people. The only remedy is to make the
transaction known. If the records of the
congressional dead beats could be printed

such honorable positions must of necessity

plenty of carriages, but he's dead beat

Are there many such men in congress-
Yes, quite number; we've been stuck
Often-beaten out of hundreds of dollars
by both senators and members. They are
the worst customers in that way, because
you can't force collections. They hardly
ever have anything more than their clothes;
you can't arrest and punish them; you can't
collect their salaries. And the airs they
