tn. Death Of tn. Ch,mp.o.... ki..,..

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 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
unprOfitable investment.

The Central school Crowded with visitors
to witness the Chiidren's Exercises.
Memorial day exercises Of most appro-
pirate character were carried out In q
worthy manner ut the Central school yes
terslay afternoon. The rooms of the
higher grades were decorated In charm
ing and most artistic manner. The stars
and stripes were displayed at half-mast
ON the flag staff during the day, and
within the building innumerable flags OF
various sizes, besides a profusion of red,
white and blue bunting, were caught in
unique and beautiful designs about the
walls and ceiling. Pots containing all
kinds Of handsome house plants were
placed here and there, while wreaths OF
handsome flowers were intermingled with
the other decorations, filling the room
with fragrant perfume. The largest
number of visitors ever in the
and were greatly pleased with
the excellent work ofthe children. Ex-
crcises OF an appropriate character were
held among the lower grades, and the
programme as published In the STAND
ARD few days ago was carried out as an
nounced i'm fltting manner by the pupils
of the older grades. In Miss Batterton's
room the rendering Of "After the Battle"
by Grace Vincent was of exceptional
merit. In Miss Gillies' room. after the
Battle" by Daisy Tracy, "A Crimean Incl
dent by Allie Kempland, and "The
Evils Of War" by Clarence Davidson were
exceedingly well rendered. The entire
programme was quite entertaining and
the children all did finely, showing thor
ough training and hard study. Professor
Stone and the teachers are entitled TO the
highest credit for their efforts in making
the occasion SO pronolnced success.
