CAN TALK WITH THE MONKEYS.
A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed
TO Have Mastered the Simian Lingo.

A San Francisco Man Who Is Believed
to Have Mastered the simian Lingo.
A mvsterious individual haunts Wood
wards gardens to whom is attributed
the gift of conversing with monkeys in
their own language. He is a little old
man who has seen about three score
years and ten, but as he is always alone
and speaks to no one very little is known
about him. For nearly a year past the
old gentleman has daily visited that
former popular resort, deposited the en-
trance fee, and as quickly as his feeble
strength viii allow and with eagerness
depicted on his scanned and weather
beaten countenance proceeds at once to
the monkey cage.
The monkeys recognize him and set
up a chattering and bowling that would
CRATE on a sensitive persons nerves, but
the old man does not mind it a bit. He
enjoys it, and beams on the quadrumana
that make every effort to reach him
through the IRON bars with an expression
that would lead one to think that his
soul was wrapped up in them.
Finally, the noise subsidies and the old
man gazes into dozen comical expect
ant faces pressed against the bars, with
twenty-four pairs of bright eyes looking
at him, and utters few cultural sounds
that astonish and please the monkeys.
He perfectly initiates the sounds of most
of them, and all arrange themselves in a
semicircle and with great seriousness
listen to all he has to say. Sometimes
his tone is serious, when all the monkeys
put on very abject expression and look
as sorrOwful as a monkey can.
Then again, when the tones are differ
ent. the monkeys will dance about with
every evidence of delight, and all begin
to jabber at once, until the old man
points his finger at one Of the largest.
All remain silent while he seemingly
carries on a conversation with one of the
older ones, initiating all the grimaces
and actions of a monkey as well as any
human being could.
Sometimes the conversation lasts an
hour or more, when the little man bids
his friends adieu until the morrow.
1t is said by some that the little man
was once a sea captain, whose crew was
murdered by the natives on the coast of
Brazil, and he made his escape to the
| forests of the interior with no COM
panions but the monkeys for many
months. and subsisted entirely on the
wild fruits and other food berries that he
could gather It is supposed that he OBJ
tanned some knowledge of their method
of communication during the months of
his enforced residence in the wilderness
that enables him to engage the attention
of the monkeys at Woodward's Gardens
When accosted the old man will not
reply, and his mysterious behavior is a
source of much comment.-San Fran
! cisco Examiner.

THURSDAY, NOV. 12, 1891.

A STARTLING discovery is said to
have been made by party of govern
ment engineers who have recently been
locating the boundary line between Ohio
and Indiana. The statement has been
advanced that a strip of Indiana, twelve
miles wide at the northern end and mar
rowing to a point at the southern end OF
the State, belongs to Ohio. This strip
is 200 miles in length, averages SIX
miles in width, embraces the cities OF
Fort Wayne and Richmond, and claims
100000 population. When Ohio was
erected into State, it is asserted that
Indian traders in the two cities men
toned, foresaw the loss of their occupa-
ton and bribed the engineering party
who ran tie line to start at point
twelve miles east of the proper boundary
But the bearing on Ohio's territory IS
not the most interesting part OF the
story. Should Ohio's right to this strip
be established. Indiana would contain
less territory than her grant calls for
and to fill out her measure would slice
off Illinois. To take from Illinois a
strip of these dimensions would include
the site of the Worlds Fair and good
part of Chicago. In that event Chicago
would be in two States, would be two
cities, have a divided population, and
the Hoosiers would have the Worlds
Fair. For Chicago to be thus split NJ
and for Indiana to thus secure the
Worlds Fair, would be catastrophe toe
dreadful to think Of, and, therefore, LEI
us turn our thoughts away.

Live PACKAGE III tfle Deau Letter OHlce'
Is it to be expected that an ordinary
clerk, without special remuneration,
shall expose himself to the dangers Incl
dent to the opening of the multitudinous
and mysterious packages that are left as
metaphorical foundlings upon the figura-
tive doorstep of the postmaster general:
Lest these perils be deemed imaginary, it
may be appropriate to refer to seventeen
snakes that arrived together on one oc-
casion in parcel of the sort described,
although they were all very much alive,
especially rattler, eight feet in length
and one of the biggest ever captured,
that ratified its nine rattles and showed
its fangs to the unaffected dismay of the
young gentleman who undid the bundle.
So great was his embarrassment that
ne failed at the moment to keep accu-
rate count of the reptilian consignment,
and three weeks later the entire Office
was set in a stir by the unexpected ap-
pearance from beneath his desk of a
three foot adder speckled in yellow and
black. Owing to the fact that adders of
other than the arithmetical variety are
discouraged in government Offices, this
particular serpent is now enjoying a
perennial spree in a bottle of alcohol on
shelf in the postoffice department.

Nothing adds so much to the beauty of

complexion, and to secure this pure

so-cailed blood-puriliers sold to improve
a rough, pimply, muddy skin, only drive
the scrofulous humors from the surface
to-some internal vital organ, and disease
and death is the inevitable result. On
the contrary, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery strikes directly at the root of
the evil, by driving the impurities en-
tirely out of the system, and with fresh
stream of pure blood flowing through
the veins, nothing but the softest and
fairest of compilations can result.

HOW THE BRITISH VIEW IT.

HOW THE BRITISH VIEW 1T.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The London papers show better con-
ception of the significance of Tuesdays
vote than do some of our Democratic
contemporaries. They admit that the
Endorsement of Mckinley means protec-
ton; and they are candid in saying that
British manufacturers can extract no
comfort for it.
Meanwhile, there are some Democrats
like Mr. Cleveland at New York so in
fatuated with the phrase tariff reform"
that the victory of the protectionists in
Ohio only moves them to shout that
they will never surrender their pet idea
This enthusiasm is very fine just now.
But the rank and file of the Democracy
will begin to inquire if it is not time to
revise the position of the party upon is
sues affecting business of the country,
and to cease stalking everything upon
fad which, when twice squarely pre-
sented to the public, has each time been
emphatically repudiated.
The New York Sun for several years
past has seen the folly of this antago-
nizing of protection by its party. 1t
sounded timely warning to the leaders
long ago to cease their foolish pursuit
of fanciful economics and adopt the
conservative protectionist stand of the
late Samuel J. Randall. The Sun and
those other Democrats who believe in
protection will now gain more respect
full hearing. 1t is too early to expect
an ostentatious withdrawal of the flag
which Mr. Cleveland foolishly sent up
to the masthead in '0S. But between
now and the assembling of the next
Democratic National. Convention we
may look for an eager attempt by the
wiser leaders to develops other issues and
to relegate anti-protectiOn to an ex-
tremely subordinate place in the plat
form. if indeed they do not eliminate it
entirely.

WHAT IT WILL DO.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
The result will be: The raising of Gov
Mckinley to the ranks of formidable
presidential candidates, the election of a
Republican United States Senator and
the repeal of the infamous gerrymaEdel
which legislated Major Mckinley out OF
Congress. Besides, the Ohio campaign
as the only distinctly national one of the
year will shape the Republican lines OF
battle for 1892. The tariff and sound
currency were the two overshadowing
issues, just as they will be next year in
every State.

PUBLIC OPINION.
M'KrNLEYIsM INDICATED.

MKINLEYISN INDICATED.
Cleveland Leader.
McKinleyism has been triumphantly
yindicated in Ohio. The Democrats
will attempt to obscure the fact, but they
cannot do it. 1t will be great comfort
to the Democratic and Mugwump free
traders to attribute the success of the
Republicans in the Buckeye State to the
position Of the Democratic party on the
silver question, and that is what they
are certain to do. They cannot, howev-
er, escape the issue. The Republicans,
it is true, fought as earnestly for an
honest dollar as for the principle of pro
lection, and they forced the fighting for
both all through the campaign. The
Democrats. however, refused to accept
the silver issue they had made. Camp
bell repudiated that portion of his party
platform before he went on the stump
and nothing could induce him to dis
cuss the free coinage in any of his
speeches. He insisted and the Demo
cratic press of the State took the same
position-that the tariff was the only
issue "McKinleyism" and the 'robber
tariff " was the Bourbon refrain during
the entire campaign. A more vigorous
and vindictive campaign against the
protective system could not be made
than that which the Democrats have
waged in Ohio. They lied about wool,
they lied about tin plate, they lied about
farm products, they lied about the
prices of manufactured products, they
lied about wages, and, in fact, they lied
about everything affected by the tariff
directly OF indirectly. They made the
same kind of campaign one year ago,
and they made the mistake of thinking
the people would believe in 1891 the
same lies which they told in 1890, and
which twelve months experience had
proven to be false. Every man who
voted for Mckinley on Tuesday voted
for him as the preeminent champion of
the protective system, and when the
full returns from the manufacturing
cities of Ohio most benefited by the tar
iff are received, this fact will be empha
sized in a striking way.

The Western Settlers Chosen Specific

With every advance of emigration
into the far West, new demand is
created for Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters.
Newly peopled regions are frequently
less salubrious than older settled locali-
ties, on account of the miasma which
rises from recently cleared land, partic-
ularly along the banks of rivers that are
subject to freshets. The agricultural or
mining emigrant soon learns, when he
does not already know, that the Bitters
afford the only sure protection against
malaria, and those disorders of the
stomach, liver, and bowels, to which
climatic changes, exposure, and unac-
customed or unhealthy water or diet
subject him. Consequently, he places
an estimate upon this great household
specific and preventive commensurate
with its intrinsic merits, and is careful
to keep on hand a restorative and pro-
moter of health so implicitly to be relied
upon in time of need. 1l5-4t

Origin of an Old Fad.

A practice was common about fifty
years ago of rubbing the eye in peculiar
way from the outer to the inner corner,
the result being, as was supposed, to
strengthen the sight. The practice orig
mated with President John Quincy
Adams, who had what is called "a
weeping eye," disease having caused the
closing of some of the ducts, so that he
was forced to wipe away the overfowing
moisture about once in every five min
utes. He always wiped his eye from the
outer to the inner corner, and some one
noticing this peculiar action, and know
ing also that, although he had passed his
eightieth year, he never used spectacles,
connected the two facts and started the
theory that rubbing the eye in the way
indicated prevented the changes insep-
arabic from advancing years. For time
all the old people in the country spent
half their time rubbing their eyes, but
the fad soon died out, and is now scarce
ly remembered, save by some old man
who saw people practicing it when he
was a boy. Interview in st. Louis
