The modern scientific theory that animals have
a language Of their own which may possibly be
learned by man, is by no means novelty, as
Ex-Dpomat' shows in a chatty article printed
elsewhere. The peasantIy of every country in
Europe have always believed that animals talk
10 each other Mose than that, they have al
ways looked upon animals as having some part
in the work of the Christian Church, because OF
their relationship with man. And hence arose
the many popular religious ceremonies OF mediae
val times, some Of which are observed to this
day. in which certain animals are made to JON.
Such conceits may seem puelile enough to mat
ter-of-f fact people of to-day. But the inyestsa-
tons of modern science may yet show that the
lower animals are worthy of more serious con-
sideraton than we are won't to give them some
tines though not always. the intultions OF the
unou!tured are vindicated by the more scientific
deductions of the scholar.

"TURNED TOWARD THE WALL"

Gray's Picture Reminded His Followers

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 22.-At the
Democratic state convention yesterday
large sized portraits OF Gray, Cleveland
and Hendricks had been suspended in q
row above the stage. Suddenly the por-
trait of Gray Begin to swing, probably
impelled by slight draughts OF air, and
finally turned with the face to the wall,
resting in that position.
Instantly there was wild yell Of APP
plause from the Cleveland men who re-
garded this a an omen OF the retirement
OF Gray from tho presidential race. Fran
tic attempts were made by the Gray men
to restore the picture to its original posi-
tion, but it persisted In repeatedly swing
ing back with the face to the wall, while
the Cleveland men continued to cheer.
The Gray men finally desisted and the
governors portrait remained for an
hour with its face to the wall, until some
thoughtful genius inserted guy rods to
keep II steady.
While the attempts were being made to
preserve the Gray portrait in positioL..
another draught OF air caught Cleve-
lands portrait and 1t, too, began to
swing to one side. Immediately there
were deafening cries Of delight from the
Gray men, but the portrait only swung
half way round and stopped facing the
ladies' gallery. Then there was another
enthusiastic Cleveland denomination.
Claude Matthews, the "Farmer Candi-
date" was nominated for governor and
the announcement was wildly received.

says that her husband pushed her over

Capt. Farrier sent detectives to the boat
with instructions to arrest all hands.

his wife, but denied pushing her over
board. He said he had not seen her since
the night of the quarrel, aud had no idea

Dougherty, the dentist rooms Of DIR. y. II.
Bowe, and the rooms occupied by Il. IL;
Moore, the Standard Hat Company, and
A. l.. Anthony. trustee Of the Barnaby
estate, all suffered.
The fire was far more serious than was
at first supposed. The damage done TO the
stock in the various rooms is extensive,
and thorough renovation OF the entire
building will probably have to be made.
The blaze originated in the tailor shop
owned by Edward Doughertv, and is sup,
posed to have caught from an overheated
stove. One Of the workmen employed in
this shop came to work shortly after 8
o'clock this morning When he opened
the door he was met with rush or smoke
and Immediately sounded the alarm. The
fire was extremely difficult of accession.
and was stubborn. The great efforts OF
the department, however, soon quelled
the flames.
The fire started in the floor of the tailor
shop which is on the fourth floor in the
northwest corner of the building. 1t ate
its way through between the floor and
the ceiling and when discovered, had ex..
tended nearly to the opposite corner OF
the building. The rafters and partitions
were badly burned aud large plate glass
window in the rooms occupied by the
Standard Hat Company was broken. The
fire gained considerable headway in the
walls next to the Gaiety Opera House,
but did not burst through.

The rooms Of DIR. Bowes, dentist, were

damaged by smoke and water and the
water from this shop leaked through into

The entire damage has not as yet been
estimated but it is thought that 5000 viii.
cover the loss. The greater part is covered
by insurance.
