Prot. r. l.. Garner of Washington,
who made a special study of the Ian
guage Of monkeys, says 81 have
given eight years of my life to the
study of this subject, and have con-
WINGED myself Of the existence of a
monkey language. reason from the
basis of evOlution-that if man is only
the Development Of the monkey, they
must have among other characteristics
10 common, the faculty of speech, and
preceding upon this theory record
ed the utterances of various monkeys
on the photograph and caused them to
be repeated in the presence of other
monkeys of the Simlan tribe. The
latter evidently understood them, and
by investigating further found that
the word food, which, as spoken by
monkeys, is hardly translatable into
English, was spoken by all of them.
I also discovered that their language
has but three consOnant and two VOW
ell sounds. My experiments have
been chiefly conducted with a brown
Capuchin South American monkey in
Washington, and two chimpazees in
the Cincinnati geological Garden.
l propose making trip to Africa next
year to take down the speech of the
monkey in bic native wids, and am
confident of deriving important results
from the investigations which l shall
make there.D

The following from the Verubn,
CAla.,) Courier, in regard to arresling
Beasley ID Mississippi and carrying
BIN 70 Vernon, and lodging him in
jail, without fret procuring a requisi-
tion, is in answer 10 the dispatch sent
from Columbus to the Age-Herald.
Whether il fact Beasley was allowed to
choose between Columbus and Vernon
we cannot say, but if not, the fact re-
mains, it was a gross violation Of the
iaw: 1.-The party lhataFrested Beasly
gave him choice between Columbus
and Vernon, aud he chose the latter.
This clearly disposes Of the lawlessness
Of the arresting party. As to the triv-
iality Of the ofense, the charge was
burglary, which is quite a serious Of
tense in Alabama. When be was
brought here il developed be was want
ed for murder also. The matter hiss
no doubt been called 10 the attention
Of the authorities ofeach state and will
be investigated. The states have not
been jealous about such things in the
past and if there any such fellows in
Alabama that Mississippi wants, We
say come over and get them. Beasly
had told several parties in this county
that he was one Of the parties who took
the negro, Monroe Walters, off the
train at Hudson, last Spring. A war
rent was sworn out charging Beasly
with that crime, and he now awaits a
trial on the charge of murder, which
will be before Judge Young. Also
charge of carrying a concealed weapon
will be added to the list.D

The following telegram was sent
out from st. Louis on the 23rd inst,
and will be Of interest to many at
this place who through business and
other causes narrowly missed taking
advantage oftheremarkably cheap p
rates for a visit to Chicago:
"a Southern Express car at the
union station is the present abiding
place Of an odd assortment of white
and colored excursionists from Biz
mingham, Ala, and elsewhere, who
are packed in the car like sardines in
box. The excursion originally
numbered about 400 people, who
paid $40 and S. for tickets to Chi
cago and return and st. Louis and
return. "The excursion" was engi-
neered by a white man named
Packet and the notorious doc"
Kennedy, a negro who has received
considerable renown in the South as
the originator of financial hoaxes.
When the party got to West Point,
Miss, 5000 additional was required
to continue the trip, as was SO more
per person for those intending to 60
on to Chicago when the party
reached St. Louis. About this time
the mental eyes of the majority of
the dupes of Kennedy and his part
ner were Unsealed, and they refused
to pay anything further. A few,
however, paid the required So, and
they started for Chicago. Those re-
naming here until they can get suf-
fcient money to return home will
make any locality pernicious to the
health of Kennedy and Packet
should they come across them. The
excursionists were induced to leave
home under the understanding that
work would be furnished them in
Chicago and st. Louis at large
wages"

The star of DR.. Koch, the great
physician, whose discovery of an anti
consumption lymph set the world a
wondering only a few months ago, is
soon to rise again, says the Philadel-
phia Record of Monday: DR.. Ear
nest La Place, of the medico-C hiruFgi-
cal College said yesterday that within
a very short time the world will hear
again from Koch, that he will make
important scientific revelations and
that he is on the right road toward a
cure of consumption. This statement
from DR.. La Place is of the utmes.
Importance, for he keeps fully inform
ed Of all that transpires in the studies
and laborities Of European scientists,
and enjoys as we'll close personal ae-
quaintance with DR.. Koch,p DR.. La
Place, in response to a question as to
whether he was not a great believer
in DR.. Koch, added II think that
he is on the right path, and if his in
vestigations are pursued results Of the
utmost importance to the medical pro-
fession will be reached. You see,
when Koch made his first announce
ment some months ago the whole
world went crazy, and the lymph was
heralded as a oure-all. An unscientifc
public said Immediately that it would
accomplish lots Of things that Koch
never promised. And what was the
resul,f Persons dying of consumption
we're not cured, and DR.. Koch was
blamed for it. This accounts for his
apparent eclipse of late. When be is
heard from again the world will see
that he is a benefaetor of tue race af-

yesterday'morning the American says:
1--WE have followed him and the
lines Of his defense with patient, pains
taking care, and with the steady, ear
nest and pitiless purpose to paint the
truth upon his name and character in
letters which all men could read.
4 ~ We invite the scorn and con-
tempt Of every honest man in Tennes-
see; we respectfully ask to be kicked
from every mans door, we beg to be
spurned and spit upon with loathing,
and to be loaded with the excavations
of all decent people, if we fail to de-

sweep it utterly from the face of the
earth, and leave not a rack behind
We undertake to sustain the further
charge that, though every thing We have
said of Mcdowell is true; and though it
we're ten times worse than we had pre-
dioted it, the worse thing he has ever
done in his notified and malodorOus
career is a cardinal virtue compared
with the degree of business and the
depth of moral turpitude displayed in
his so-cslled 'Viadication. y

The band will not play this afternoon
at Emma square, as previously an
nounced because the Minister of Foreign
Affairs has ordered it out to the ball
ground. This is entirely contrary to
general expectations, it having been ex-
pressly understood, and announced in
the press that the band will play in
future at Emma square on Saturday
afternoons. The band concert there last
Saturday was attended by very large
number of persons and was highly
appreciated. The band is not needed at
the ball ground The concert is yirtu-
ally given up for nothing for the playing
in snatches between innings is not a
concert. The band is doubtless sent to
the ball game because His Royal High

This truly enchanting location for SUBJ
urban homes must be seen to be appre-
ciated; a lovely grove of algeroba trees
covers the entire grounds, streets 80 feet
in width are laid out, and 6-inch pipes
are being laid to conduct water from a
10-inch artesian we'll which is pro-
nounced by McCandless Bros. to flow
the sweetest water of all the wells they
have bored on this island. The Railway
20. have constructed two reservoirs with
storage capacity of over two million
gallons, and built fume extending 80
miles into Waiawa Valley, which in
years of ordinary rainfall will supply an
abundance of pure water for a large
population; to guard against such
droughts as we have experienced during
the present year, the Company have or
dered Blake Pump with capacity of
450, 900 gallons per day, which will be
replaced by one or more of larger capa-
city when needed. This pump now due
from the manufacturers will he placed at
once at the artesian we'll from which
water will be forced into the reservoirs,
when not supplied from the mountains.
A block containing an area OF five
acres has been reserved for Hotel, and
another beautiful lot of the same area is
also reserved for a Public Park, which
the Company propose to make one of the
most delightful and attractive resorts to
be found anywhere.

THE DARDANELLES.

The most exciting canard from Europe
by the Mariposa's mail is the reported
seizure of Mitylene by a detachment Of
bluejackets and marines from a British
ironclad (name not given) accompanied
by battery Of light field pieces and
several Calling guns on the 18th Sep
tember.
Mitylene, the ancient Lesbos is a
beautiful island on the coast of Asia
Minor about forty miles south of the
entrance to the Dardanelles, and lying
between the Cults of Adramyti and
Smyrna. It has an area of 276 square
miles, and a population estimated al
about 10000. 1t was formerly cele.
brated for the excellence of it's wine, but
little is known of it now except that in
1924 the Greeks nearly destroyed a Turk
ish feet off its coast. 1t is said that there
is good harbor at place called Sigri and
that there the British landed, took pos
session of the island in the name of the
Queen commenced to fortify it, and sur
rounded the harbor with torpedoes.
The Turkish Minister OF Interior tele-
graphed to the British Ambassador at
Constantinople asking an explanation
of the reports of the landing of British
forces on Turkish territory, and the Am
bassador in reply said that he was en-
tirely ignorant Of the whole affair, but
thought it possible that the crews OF
some British war vessel might have
landed in Mitylene for drill and landing
exercise, and assured the Turkish Minis
ter that no Notifications had been con-
structed on the island.
This view of the case was confirmed
during the night, when dispatches were
received stating that the force which had
landed had been re-embarked and that
the ship or ships had left the island for
Marmorito - probably Marmar, a
little town on the Lyrian coast further
south.
However, the more alarming edition
of the story seems to have been current
for at least twenty-four hours, and singu-
larry enough was never accompanied by
any accounts of the whereabouts of the
British Mediterranean feet, or any por-
ton of it, and no name or names of the
ships reputed to have been concerned,
appeared at all.
1t is stated authoritively that COM
plete " entente" had been arranged be-
tween Sir William White, the British
Ambassador, and the Sultan, but the
terms of the restored harmony were not
given.
A New York dispatch of September
14th, says: A prominent Wall street
and London house has received g tele-
gram to the effect that { the market has
been sold on rumors of political COM
pications and preparations for war. The
reports are sensational and untrue, and
were started by jobbers endeavoring to
get cheap stocks.'"
