The glove contest between Kelliher
and the Black Pearl. to have occurred
at the Twin City Athletic club, Mime
apoiis. next Tuesday night, has been
postponed until. the evening of Nov. 8.

reason that OH Friday Kelliher slipped
and sprained his thigh. Rather than to
have the contest off the directors of the
club at meeting held yesterday de-
cided to postpone the match. The con-
test of these two men promises TO be one

The Death of the chimpanzee, Kittle.

The death of Kittie the last of the
chimpanzees in Central park, New York,
probably decides the question of securing
these interesting and intelligent animals
for exhibition. They cannot stand the
climate, and it seems almost like murder
to export them from their native wilds.
They inhabit a limited area of the Congo
country, and can only be secured alive
when infants, and then by the slaughter
of the parents. The "babies' are nursed
by African women until old enough to
eat, and then sold to traders But exile
means death, and they are costly and
improbable investment.

The Imnortance of Occunntion.

There is nothing that adds more to the
zest of life than an interesting occupa-
ton; even if it means hard work, there is
recompense in the enjoyment Of we'll
earned rest. No work ought, however,
to be overpowering or so exhaustive that
ones energies fall below their aspira-
tions. On the other hand, no life is so
thoroughly wretched as one where the
necessity and desire for work is entirely
wanting; and this is particularly true. of
persons of education and intelhgencewho
allow themselves to fall into that unset
tied condition of mind where nothing Sis
of interest. Herald Of Health.

Executions in France are still sur
rounded with lugubrious mystery. The
condemned do not know when they are
to die, and almost any morning after
conviction may be rudely awakened at
daybreak and conducted to the guillo-
tine. This was the case recently with
two lads who were under sentence for
murder at Paris. They went to sleep one
night, confident of q communication of
sentence, At dawn they were told to
prepare for the end, and ten minutes
later their heads dropped in the execu-
toners basket. The French are nothing
if not sensational, even in the manner of
Furnishing criminals.

of the potentates who have succeeded
King Agaja on the throne.
The corps of amazons consists of 1000
women who are sworn to chastity. No
female of the country can marry until
she has the kings consent, and if, upon
view, he decides that she is better suited
for war than for wedlock, her engage
ment is annulled, and she is entered on
the roll of soldiers From that on till
the day of her death she is more closely
guarded from temptation than the fair

civilization. 1t is death for her to violate
any of the rules to which she is subject
ed, and she is more isolated from the

amazons approaches, does SO at the peril
of his life. The tinkle of the amazon
bell warns all males to retreat or dodge
down some byway until the warrior
women have passed on. Only the fa-
vored few who are allowed to carry the
lion stick of the king dare meet his ma.
jesty's body guard face to face.
Although the amaZons can never wed.
married women who enter the regiments
are allowed to keep up their domestic re-
lations, but all their female children are
amazons from birth, and the only future
before them is the celibate life of the sol.

that 100 of his amazons had entered into
matrimonial relations in violation of the

guilty women were killed at Agbome,
and their husbands shared their fate.
On their march inland the French will

Gently NJ. Etienne stated the cause of
the disagreement between the two ma
tions, He said that the king of Da-
honey had refused to recognize the
French protectorate over the slave coast,
and had invaded that territory, but had
been repulsed. He also said that if the
king refused to satisfy the demands of
France it would be necessary to take
vigorous measures, not with a view to
the conquest Of Dahomey, but for pur-
pose of giving salutary lesson to the
king and people,
