A Clever Pet Monkey.

Commander Il. D. Evans has on board
his ship pet monkey. The greatest
dainty which can be given the monkey
is Malaga grape, and in order to test her
agility all sorts Of devices are resorted to-
On one occasion grape attached to a
slender string was dangling from a yard
arm Mt distance Of eight feet above the
deck. After several futile efforts to bridge
the distance by jump, the monkey retired
to corner and apparently gave up the
game. The officers laughed and declared
the commander would be a heavy loser by
his bets wagered on Ginny. Finally one
of the number, six footer, passed under
the swinging fruit and paused moment
to look up. Like an arrow from the bow,
the monkey darted from the corner, jumped
on the officers shoulder and with one Ay-
ing leap upward had secured the prize-

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 26.-At yes
terday's session of the American Bar as
sociation, the report of the committee
on international law as to whether
''any legislation by congress is desir-
able and practical to give the courts of
the United States Jurisdiction over
criminal prosecutions for acts of Yio-
lence to the persons or property of
aliens committed by citizens of the
United States was read. Tho commit
tee recommends that it is unnecessary
and inexpedient that there should be
any legislation by congress to give to
to the federal courts jurisdiction of
crimes against persons and property of
aliens; that the punishment of crime
must be left to the ordinary and orderly
administration of justice by the courts
under the constitution and laws in like
manner as in similar cases affecting our
own citizens.

COMING AND GOING.

swat q minute, grandpa; the Little Ones are
coming"
Chorused voices shouted from merry rounds
of play;
Chitchat, pltpat and little feet drew nearer,
While CHEEKY smile lit faces appeared along
the way.
Ruddy cheeks and rosy lips, bright eyes grow
ing brighter;
Nervous feet and tireless tongues kept up a
merry strife;
Gun Drowned hands stretched eagerly to arms
held widely open
Hands reaching out, arms reaching back-tha
story brief OF Lifo. ..
Told In pantomime SO plainly, so clearly set In
picture,
That even he who runneth, In letters bold
may read;
The Little Ones are coming, but the Older Ones
are going;
The story is o true one and the lesson we
must heed.
The Little Ones are coming-coming faster and
still faster.
With flrmer step and surer. with no uncer-
tain tread;
The Little Ones are coming, and the Older Ones
are going,
For the Little Ones grow older and the Older
Ones are-dead.

A Letter Which May Have Importan
Bearing on the Case.

Bearing on the case.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 28.-In the
preliminary examination yesterday in
the B1rden murder case Surveyor Kee-
nan gave testimony regarding the con-
dition of the room when the bodies were
discovered, and DIR. Dolan gave similar
testimony, and explained the position Of
the wounds on the bodies. He asserted
that Mr.. Borden died from shock.
Mr.. Jennings, counsel for Miss Bor-
den, gives out for publication letter
received by Miss Emma Borden from
Samuel Robiuslty. q jew peddler, dated
Waltham, in which the awriter states
that on the day Of the murder he was
accosted by a man who was covered
withj blood ,Eanda Who'll stated that he
had had fight with his employer, q
farmer, over wages. The man made
some purchases from the peddler and
went his way. Robinsky states that he
knew nothing of the murder until some
days later and refrained from relating
the facts to the authorities for fear of
arrest for peddling without license.
He says l-o would know the man If he
saw him again, and is now willing to
testify.
A telegram was sent to Mayor Ma
berry, of Waltham, and in response the
mayor telegraphed that Robinsky was
known in that city.
Colonel Adams, of counsel for the de-
fense, said the telegram from Mayor
Maberry satisfied thep that Robinsky
exists and that he is known in Boston.
"We have made and are still making
active search for him. He probably
goes out to Waltham, as he does to other
cities. We shall find him if it is pos
sible thing. Had the mayor of Wal
than returned different answer we
might have termed it a fake, but it is
evident that Samuel Robinsky is be-
ing, and it ought to be easy to find him.
1t is a valuable thing for us. and we be-
lieve it . most important clew.'

Tho English style of razor is not gener-
ally used by the natives in India, but a fiat
blade is favored. 1t is very much like n
chisel, and marvelously clean work is
done by this apparently clumsy blade. As
a rule tho Indian BARRIERS are quick and
light fingered and shave under most ex-
traordinary conditions. Many a young
officer is shaved in bed aud when fast
asleep, SO that he can snatch few more
moments repose before appearing upon
tho parade ground. To be shaved in bed
and when fast asleep is luxury which
even the all luxurious American does not
yet allow himself, but which many
wretchedly paid subaltern in India enjoys.

West Water, Utah, just over the Colo

as the Brock Gang of thieves. AS
far as learned Davis killed three of the
gang and fatally wounded Brock, the
leader. Davis evidently escaped un-
harmed. He used Winchester in his
unequal fight 1t is not known whether
the gang attacked Davis or whether he
got the drop on them.
