Hunting Chirnnanzcc,.

The relations OF the late Mir Crowley

they are quite young, the hunter VINO
undertakes to capture them alive is apt
to be severely hurt. A good many
chimpanzees live in the forests along
the upper welle-Makua, where Dr.

dislike the proximity of human beng.
and hide themselves among tie thick
foliage of giant trees. along the bank,
of watercourses. There may be hun.
dreds of them in the forests, though ior
months the natives may never see one
of the animals.
One day the natives told DIR. Junker
they had found some chimpanzceS in
the neighborhood. The explorer and
his native friends accordingl Y went on

THERE HAS been decline in all the
"trust" stocks since the election, espe-
cially in sugar, in consequence of the
fear that the new democratic Congress
will remove the duty ON refined
sugar and other trust products.
The advance in cotton is attributed to
the agricultural report, which states
that there will be a reduced crop. All
other stocks have remained as they
were or been strengthened since last

A Hatlcss Community.

LADoNIA, No., Nov. 15.-The demo-
ocrats of this place on Saturday night
celebrated the democratic victory with
a great bonfire ending up with casting
their hats in the flames. Not content
with that they seized the headgear OF
all the spectators on the scene and
burned up. Then parading the
streets in squads, they robbed every pc
destrian of his hat, and carrying it to
the fire, consigned it to the flames.
The result is that the entire male popu.
lation of the town is hatless.

ACCORDING 20 Mr.. Edgar Allen,
the republicans and third partyites in
this State are to combine and make a
united contest for the legislature and
the gubernatorial chair next fall. But
they recently combined and made a
united contest for Presidential electors
and congressman, which resulted in
sigma! and disastrous defeat. Indeed,
it seems, by the election returns, that
the republicans would have been strong
er if they had made the fight single
handed, and that the third party, so far
from helping, really weakened them.
The alliance between the republicans
and the unpopulists was unholy, and
only met with its just desert-thc prac-
teal destruction of both its elements.

MASS IN EPISCOPAL CHURCHES.-For
the first time in many years solemn
high mass was sung in an Episcopal
Church in Brooklyn on Tuesday with
all the ceremony customary in Roman
Catholic churches, English being used
instead of Latin. st. Martins Episco-
pal Church on President street, in which
the mass was sung, has had rituals
tic leanings for some time, and Tues
DAYS service was in honor of st. Mar
tin, after whom the church was named.
Bishop Littlejohn of the diocese OF
Long Island has always had the repu-
tation of being low churchman, but.
according to the rector of the church,
the Rev. Henry o. Riddel, the bishop
has sanctioned the innovation. Father
Riddel. as he called himself. said Tues
day that while Bishop Littlejohn may
have been opposed to ritualism former
", he has changed his views. Father
Riddel took charge of St. Martins
Church two years ago, and introduced
the ritualistic services, and since then
he saws the church has been crowded.
AT lucSuay IuoTulHS SCI VIC 'ied'
Riddel acted as celebrant, the Rev. j..
NJ. Hill of Trinity Church as deacon,
and the Rev. G.. Yamall of Passaic as
sub-deacon. The procession was led
by an acolyte in red cassock swinging
incense. Father Riddel wore chas-
uble of white cloth and all of the cler-
CIV present wore cassocks. The Roman
Catholic mass with all its ceremonies
was then said. Wednesday there was
a low and high mass, the former at I
o'clock and the latter at u o'clock in
in the morning.
The are two Episcopal churches in
Brooklyn where similar ritualism in
the services prevails, st. Mary the Vir-
gin and st. Ignatius.

THE GAZETTE is glad to see that its
long entertained and oft expressed ideas
in favor of the abolition Of the entire
foreign diplomatic service of this coun-
try. are spreading in influential quar-
tiers. The New York Herald of yestcr-
terday devotes several columns to the
matter. Since lightning was chained
and made the bearer of messages, there
has been no use for diplomatic corps
abroad, for the American Secretary of
State. ever since that time, has been
enabled to have direct and immediate
communication with the governments
of foreign nations. Consular agents at
foreign ports are the only officials this
country needs abroad. American min
listers abroad have nothing to do except
to appear at the tail end Of the diplo-
matte professions at foreign courts, and
as they are only appointed as pay for
partisan work. great expense would be
saved and the country spared much rid
icule by keeping them at home. That
they do more harm than good is APPLY
shown in the Egan case.

ty would have that party remain in
control of the government for long
term of years, they will have an extra
session of Congress as soon as possible,

peal the statute by which Davenport
ism is maintained, repeal the Mckinley
bill and remove the tax on the necessa

TIE New YORK Times, the head OF

the returns of the recent election, MINI
Der 29l in New York, is opposed to an
extra session Of Congress and an early re-
moyal of the tariff tax on the necessa-
ries of life and says 'the country should
have time to prepare for such a rev.
sion and those who do the work should
have time for due dcliberation. careful
inquiry, and well-considered action"
The country has had twcnty-seven
years to prepare for tariff revision, and
those who will do the work have had
all the time they require for due de-
liberation aud careful inquiry. Senators
Carlisle, Mills and Vest, and Represen-
tatives Wilson, Breckenridge, and Me
Millin. and their democratic colleagues,
who would do the work, know as much
about the tariff now as ii is possible for
men to know, and they could prepare
such 81 bill as is desired, as we'll in a
month as in two years. The people
want relief, and they want it for them
selves, not for their children.

There will be IS other guests. The

Many have jumped to the conclusion,
therefore, that Mr. Willard will be found
in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, both as a
representative of the German element
which contributed so largely to the
democratic triumph, and as represen-

whom Mr.. Willard has attained such

STEAMSHIPS engaged in the transport
tation ofpassengers across the Atlantic
are compelled to carry large number
of boats. These are so rarely used that
they cannot always be relied upon to
float when it is necessary to launch
them. Heat from the smokestacks and
the sun causes their seams to open and
planks to warp. This difficulty with
the small boats of steamships has led
an English shipbuilding firm to con-
struct seamless metallic lifeboats, which
are designed TO replace the wooden
ones now in use. These boats are con-
structed of two thin sheets of steel,
which are pressed into the desired
shape. Buoyancy cases are placed in
the bow and stern to insure tiotation,
even though the boat be filed with
water.

Mrs. HAMERsLEY's PRESENT Posi-
TIoN.-The suddenncss of the Duke of
Marlborough's taking-oll' this week
was not the only cause of the
frs, rumor that his death had not been
natural one. The truth is that he
had not altogether abandoned the i'm
moralites OF his youth. Certain re-
cent excuses may or may not have
been the indirect cause of his untimely
demise. His was the most striking ex-
ample in England of great natural
genius cursed by wealth. Those who
know both men will say that Marlbor-
ough's natural gifts were greater than
those of his brilliant brother. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill. 1t is by no means I'M
possible that Churchill will succeed
eventually TO the dulledom. The new
Duke, who attains his majority to-mor-
row. is not robust youth, either phys
ically or mentally. His is the only life
between Churchill and the title. The
Duchess, formerly Mrs. Hamersley, is
left in most embarrassing stu
alton by her husbands death
The young man who takes the
title and Blenheim Castle and the
entailed estate is stranger to her,
and will, undoubtedly remain so. She
must leave the palace which her for
tune has rehabilitated. Her social po-
sition. under the circumstances, will be
rather II dubious one. She no longer
has her own great fortune at her COM
mand. She has spent nearly one mill
lion dollars in permanent improve
mcnts and adornments mt Blenheim.
The splendid treasures OF art and his
tory which Marlborough sacrificed be-
fore his second marriage, of course
could not be replaced, but the new col
lection which has gradually been accu-
mulated could hardly have been sur
passed in the same length Of time.
The Duchess has been obliged, it is
said, to draw against her income for a
long time ahead in order TO accomplish
this. Even if her personal resources
were exhausted, however, she would
not be poor, for she will be entitled to a
liberal income from the estate. 1t
would not be surprising under the cir
cumstances if she should return to

A GOLD STORY Iron ECUADOR

sible for a story about the mineral
wealth of Ecuador which promises to
develop second California gold craze.

dust from the Napo country, with an &C
count of its origin. He writes that it is
specimen taken from q quantity sent
to Quito in payment for stores by an
American who has lived hermit's

The Consul adds that gold abounds
in region inhabited by Indians, who
bring it to Quito on certain days in the
year, when they purchase corn of the
Government. They grind up nuggets
to dust and throw the surplus into the
river to avoid exciting suspicion and
pressure to reveal the source of the
wealth The Consul further says
that all that is necessary is the con-
struction of road from Quito to the
Napo district, when sit is possible that
