Eugene Robinson's For
tune.

Manager Eugene Robinson re-
turned here ina double capacity.
He is not only the proprietor Of
"Paul Kauvar," but heir to a
large fortune. A portion of the
story is told by the New York
Herald Of last Friday as follows:
Mr.. Eugene Robinson, a men,
Der Of the ''Paul Kauvar' Com
pany. has fallen heir, il is beIiev-
cd, TO 800, 600, left by hiS--unc!e,
Colonel David Robinson, of Colo
RADIO.
Colonel Robinson was born in
Mount Vernon, Me-, in 1914.
When young man he started Il
stationery store in New Orleans,
which he conducted for two years,
leaving it, rs he wrote to Il rela
tive, to go to Texas. Nothing

''In the early mining days Colo
mel Robinson made lot Of money.
which he wisely invested. He
settled IN Trinidad some years ago
and purchased much property
there. He celebrated his seventy
eight birthday in July last and died
on Sept. -. He left no will, and
for awhile it was thought his
property would go to the state Of
Colorado.
"On his dcathbcd Colonel Rob
inson sad he might have some rel
atives in Mount Vernon, Me. A
lawyer visited that city and dis
covered that brother and sister
of the deceased had moved to New
York. This brother turned out
to be deceased, but it was learned
that he had left son, whom the
lawyer discovered to be Eugene
Robinson.
THE young man has been APP
priscd of his good luck. and his
lawyer has visited Colorado and
verified the story brought cast by
the western lawyer
Mr.. Robinson is well known
here, having conducted the Dime
Museum for number of years
before cmbarking in his theatrical
venture. He was seen at the
Grand Opera House last night and
admitted that he was an heir. He
never saw Colonel Robinson. who
amassed the fortune, portion of
which will fall to him. When the
deceased was boy his father
whipped him and the boy swore
that he would never look at his
t"ce again. The boy ran way
and was never heard of more.
Mr.. Robinson and the rest of
the family knew this story, but
thought the hayward lad long ago
among the dead. The first news
of the death they received was
through the Denver lawyers, who
also stated that the estate was
worth over n million dollars.
From what has been learned
since, Colonel Robinson lived IN
New Orleans several years, end
then drifted out to the west and
resided at a number of places.
Mr.. Robinson's aunt, a sister of
the deceased, falls heir to half the
fortune. The other half is to be
divided among the five children
of Mr.. Robinson's father, so that
Mr.. Robinson's share will be
about 800, 900.
MIR. Robinson says that he has
been making inquiries, but has so
far failed to learn any particulars
of his uncle's residence here.

Where do the monkeys come from?
asks the Toronto Week. Doubtless
thousands of people have asked them
selves this question. Yet it is ono
easily answered. Nearly all one sees
in the United States come from Geor-

from the Panama railroad. Once u

who do not mind the fever-laden
atmosphere. This region is the para
disc of monkeys. They travel in
groups around the woods. led by an
older monkey. When the people re-
ceive information that the group is
near the village, they repair to the
woods in crowds to capture them.
Their plan is very simple. They
cut hole in cocoanut large enough
for monkeys paw. The nut is now
followed out and piece of sugar is
placed inside A string Is tied to
the nut and the trap is placed in the
way of the approaching monkeys. The
animals are the most inquisitive
known next to man. and when they
spy u nut in goes hand and grasps
the sugar. but the hole is too small for
the hand to be withdrawn with the
prize, and so the monkey holds on and
is dragged along by means Of the
string. and is followed by crowd of
his fellows toward the ambuscade At
the supreme moment large net is
spread over the animals and they are
made prisoners before they know it.
They are sold to the employees of the
Panama railroad and they reach the
North through commercial dealers.
In South Africa the baboon was.
until late years. considered a vege-
tartan, and his worst offense was steal
ing mealIes from the garden when he
got chance. Now he seems to have
joined the carnivora-at least he is
not above tearing open the young
lambs He also robs all the beehives
and steals the honey. doing the work
by night when the bees are drowsy
and dull. The baboon is % blessing
in that he attacks the wild aloe and
pulls the pith out for food. 1t was
hoped that he would rid the country
ofthe prickly pear, but as the substance
of both leaf and trunk is nothing but
water there is not much likelihood of
it. The baboon has made himself
such nuisance in civilized Africa
that shooting and poisoning clubs are
fast destroying him. The poison has
to be taken with palatable surround
ings to fool him, but he is not proof
against temptation. and so he dies.

How the People OF Rome Scented Their

How the People OF Rome Scented Their
Bodies and Clothing.
The amount of perfume used in the
paimy days of Rome was enormous;
the wealthy patricians were most
prodigal in this respect. The per-
tuners were called unguentaril, as
they principally compounded UNI
guents. and must have done an i'm
mense business. In Rome they con-
gregated in a quarter called the xvi

quently mentions. At Capua there
was such a number of perlumers that
the principal street Of the city, named
Seplasia, was almost entirely occupied
by them. For the most part these
tradesmen were Greeks and. as at
Athens. their shops (taberna) were
the rendezvous OF the rich idiers OF
those days.
The perfumed oils and ointments
were made in great variety. The basis
of the oils was generally the oil of
Ben and that Of the unguents was @
'bleached and partly purified tallow.
They were used not only for the hair,
but to annoint all parts of the body.
especially after the BATH which was
quite complicated process. 1t was
also customary at banquets to honor
the guests by pouring costly perfumed
oils over their feet Some of these
were simple oils. such as rhodium,
made from roses; molium. made from
ounces; metopium. from bitter al
monds; narcisslmum, from the mar.
cissus.
Perhaps the most fashionable oil
after the oleum susinum was that
called crocinum. made from saffron
(crocus). which communicated both a
fine color and odor to the person;
Heliogabalus never bathed without it.
Butter is noticed by Pliny as used by
the negro and lower classes of Arabs
for amounting their bodies.
The natives OF India prefer strong
perfumes for this purpose. and use oil

ages also grease their bodies, but prob
ably with the idea of being enabled to
escape more easily from the grip of ar

The Romans were not acquainted
with the use OF regular soap. but they
employed an alkali with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out of their
clothes. This alkali, called nitrum,
is referred to by Pliny; but the cheap
est solvent was urine. which was most
ly used. The clothes were put in this.
mixed with water, and then stamped
upon with the feet. This process wa:
performed by old people. while boy!

APARTMENT HOUSE BURNED.
West Supporters Narrow Escape
From a Catastrophe,

West Supericr's Narrow Escape
From a Catastrophe.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, March e
The most disastrous confagration In
Superior's history came to an end at
1920 today, when the Allouze block,
corner of Eighth and Tower, the finest
apartment house in the city, was COM
pletely wiped out and nineteen families
rendered homeless.
The block was four stories high and
contained twenty-eight apartments, all
of which were occupied with one ex-
ception. All the tenants rooms opened
OH to the central corridor, and when
the house was thoroughly alarmed some
dozen WON ell and almost as many
servants found their escape cut off IN
that direction. There were not three
men in the house, and the women grow
ing panic-stricken, took to the fire eS--
capes, where they were huddled with
children in their arms when the fire de-
partment arrived. The fire escape was
a clumsy affair, and the women would
not 60 down it until the flames bursting
through the windows forced them to.
Mrs. G. M. Gillingham, who, with her
baby, was cut off from the fire escape,
was saved after she had thrown herself
from fourth-story window by fire
man, who made desperate leap from
a ladder and caught her.
The losses will reach $4,000, the
tenants saving nothing. The building
was owned by Mrs. r. L. BelkRap, of
New York, and was valued at SOS. 600,
and was insured in eleven companies
for $4,000. The total insurance held by
tenants is $1,000. The st. Paul Fire
and Marine was caught for $4,000.

DULUTH, Mimi, March mayor
pAutremont delivered his inaugural
address before the common council this
evening. The council chamber was
crowded to listen to what the new
mayor had to say. 1t will be remem-
bered that prior to his election, during
the heat of the campaign, he was ac-
cuSed of running upon wide-Open pol
icy. His address was, therefore, great
surprise to those who believed the CAM
paign stories, for he re repudiated in no
uncertain words the so-called wide-open
policy. The designation houses, said
the mayor, would be raided and the in
mates and house owners be punished.
He recommended Imprisonment rather
than fine for all sellers of liquor without
license. The social evil will be con-
fined to narrow limit, and all the
gamblers, with their paraphernalia.

listened to with deep attention, and
