JOCKO AT A FIRE.
A Clever Monkeys Behavior During a
Conf1agration in His Own Gage.

A Clever Monkeys Behavior During q
CONFEDERATION in His Own Gage.
FROM the Neto York Sun.
Prof. Garner, in hi, endeavor to acquire
knowledge of the monkey language, could
learn something to his advantage by visit
ing Fort Hamilton, where he could observe
and, perhaps, commune with one of tbs
most intelligent aud interesting specimens
Of the monkey tribe in captivity. This
monkey is small and black, and betrays an
unusual amount of curiosity, even
for a monkey. Associated with the
agile creature are little Skye terrier and
a monkey of light complexion and open
countenance. The three comrades are con-
fined In a cage near the electric railroad
station. Ali of them are exceedingly active
even the dog occasionally resorts to tricks
in imitation Of his companions. The black
simian however Is the observed OF all OBJ
servers as he skips about indulginR in his
pleasantries, or seats himself before a crowd
of spectators and chatters with eXtraordi-
nary volubility, to their intense delight
One Sunday recently the black monkey
was more than ordinarily mischievous, and
the concourse of sightseers was therefore
| large and attentive, almost surrounding the
cage. On the floor of the cage lay a pink
programme Some one threw a parlor
match into the cage, and itafell in the saw
dust. Jocko, as quick as flash, seized it
and instituted an Investigation. He shifted
it, took a little bite Of it. and sputtered,
looked steadfastly at it, and then, with I'M
mistakable disgust, threw it down. Its
| flavor evidently did not suit his fastidious
palate. 90
After blinking at it for a few minutes, he
/ made a grab for the match and it was ig-
nited on the floor of the cage. The monkey
was astonished, but he held the burning
match for a second, then flung it down on
the pink programme, which Immediately
caught fire. Then ensued scene which i'm
pressed beholder with the idea that this
monkey was worthy of q medal for his
bravery aud promptitude.
The paper famed up quickly, and the
| monkey fairly danced about in his excite
ment. Then, with remarkable rapidity, he
ran around to a part Of the cage where
there was a basin of water in which lay
tin spice box. The wiry little animal quick
| ly filed the box with water, hurried back to
| the blazing paper, shook the water out OF
the box directly on the fire, and 1t was
| speedily extinguished. Then. fearing the
| fire was not entirely out, he jumped on the
! partly charred fragments and stamped on
them, but still unsatisied, and to make
assurance doubly sure. he picked up what
| paper remained and tore it into many pieces,
making certain that not spark was left.
His impromptu fremanic performance
elected shouts of laughter. and also ex-
J pressious of wonderment regarding the1n-
telligence and presence Of mind displayed, ,
but the little monkey, like all true heroes,
| bore his honors modestlv and with becom-
ing gravity.

went down Third avenue, running over the
sidewalks, narrowly escaping collision with
trucks and surface cars, leaping over boxes
| and other obstacles, overturning barrels
and pavement signs and kicking up their
| heels aud a great hullabaloo slmultane-
ously.
The main division continued on its way
through Twenty-fourth street until it
reached the east side Of Madison square.
There IL broke into smaller troops and de-
ployed over the entire park. The horses
galloped over flower beds and lawns. leap
ing tAe benches like Irish hunters, cIatser-
ing over the asphalt paths and terrifying
the women and children with which the
square was thronged.
John Z. Eustache, an old man, was walk
ing westward along path when the first
column OF horses dashed into the park He
heard their hoot-beats too late to escape.
As he was running across the lawn a big
cart horse knocked him down and trampled
over him. He was not badly hurt, now
ever. Two boys were also knocked over
but not seriously hurt
More than half of the 200 horses that ad
run into the park wheeled to the north and
rushed up Madison avenue. Some of them
tore through the cOlonnade on the west side
OF the garden and one colt tried to get into
the lobby OF the theater, but turned around
with frightened neigh as one of the swing
ing doors few back and hit him on the nose.
Just before the horses entered the avenue
the fashionable thoroughfare was bright
with many fair pedestrians and the usual
large NUMBER of perambulators in which
rode future citizens OF the metropolis. As
the CHATTER Of hoofs we're heard, women and
girls, after one hastY glance at the ap-
preaching stampede, ran up onto stoops and
rang strange door bells to beg for admit
| lance. Several girls vaulted over the rail-
lngs OF an area just in time to save them
selves from the hoofs OF the foremost horses.
The gray gelding that had led the main
troop westward along Twenty fourth street
galloped across Madison square and headed
straight for the plate glass doors of the
Fifth Avenue hotel A sleepy hack driver
was aroused just in time to get himself and
stock in trade out of the gelding's way.
The runaway horse would have gone smash
bang through the glass doors of the hotel if
he had not run into the iron post which up
holds the well-known clock. The shock
dazed him for a moment but he quickly re-
covered his wind and tore up Fifth avenue
to Twenty-seventh street. Through that
street to Broadway he went at a mad gal
lop. A policeman jumped for the horses
halter, and although he was dragged several
yards, hung on until he had brought the
beast TO halt.
The horses were scattered all over the ups
per part of the city by the time the fire was
under control, and Mr.. Doerr was in a
QuRndary for some time how to get them
back. A man from the west came to his
aid. however, and under the latter's SUPER
vision four gangs Of cowboys succeeded
after a long and hard chase in rounding
up" all but few OF the animals at Madison
avenue and Twenty fourth street. whence
they were taken back to the stable.

A Poser for Biologists.
Frorl az HamiLton Spectator

The members of the medical profession Ia
Hamilton are greatly Interested in a re-
markable surgical operation which took
place in the west end of the city about a
week ago. 1t is said that the case is, in
some of its features, so curious as to be un-
precedented.
A little girl, years OF age, was troubled
with what appeared to be a tumor rapidly
growing out of the small of her back. The
growth was soft, and had all the character
istics of a fatty tumor excepting that there
was a well-defned bone of triangular shape
EMBEDDED in it, The supposed tumor was
the shape of a sugar loaf, with an indenta-
tion at the crown. II was about six inches
IN diameter, and stood out from the back
fully five inches. IT was decided to have it
removed. Seven city doctors were present
at the operation. II was not successful: the
child died thirty-six hours afterward.
The dissection of the mysterious growth
and the post mortem held on the child's
body revealed some remarkable facts A
portion of the spinal column was wanting
and from the cavity the growth proceeded.
There was IN the supposed tumor evidence
Of the beginning of another and independent
life, rudimentary organs having already
been formed. IL no operation had been
performed this independent life would have
continued to grow until. no doubt, it woul d
have developed into a monstrosity and ultl-
mately caused death.
