FEATURES OF THE "FREleHT."
Gus, the OuranG Outang, Gets Hungry
The Dancing Firls.


The ourang-outang is in the second bag
gage car. 1t was captured in Java while
a baby and is now five years old The
beast is the biggest of his species now in
captivity, standing over four feet tall VIXEN
erect His name is Gus. Ever since he
left San Francisco the huge monkey has
been sulkily covering his face with mat
and refusing to be comforted. One day,
while on shipboard, the animal was per-
mitted to leave his cage He had been out
a few minutes, when he was smitten with
a desire to eat something
Tried to Eat a Mans Leg.
He chewed away on Mr.. kalffs leg, and
this proving unsatisfactory he fell upon
Mr.. Mundt, who is a stout man. The up
roar brought the natives on deck and they
finally succeeded in subjecting the beast
and pounding him back into his cage.
The orang-outang will not be feature of
the Javanese village in midway plaisance,
but will be kept with the rest of the ami
mails on exhibition. The first three coaches
are filled with families and old men. Two
venerable high priests in greasy turbans,
who have been to Mecca and know all
about the Koran. sit close together.
They Aren't Exactly Pretty.
The priests who with tie party are
a sort of religious chaperones. They will
also marry any of the couples who con-
clude to pool their issues. There are six
teen dancing girls, none married, but they
may have been, although they are aged
from II to 20 years 1t can scarcely be said
of them that they are pretty and yet they
possess much OF. the Asiatic beauty of the
Javanese women, the long, coarse, blue
black hair; mellow. laughing eyes, and the
dark. yellow complexion being particularly
pleasing.
Couldn't Wear Underc1othes.
Until the Javanese placed foot on ship
board they had never worn stockings shoes
or Undertaking. These they found uu-
bearable before many hours. and during the
rest of their voyage they tramped around
in their native costume. While In San
Francisco they were induced to make an
other trial in brogans and stockings, but
these were again discarded as soon as the
party took seats in the cars, with the ex-
ception of the coach containing the dane
ing girls, whose negligee dress and little
bare feet and arms are sufficiently pictur-
esque to attract attention.
