How the Gorilla yyalks.

Tho usual pictures of the gorilla do
not represent him as have seen him.
He has not only n crouching habit, but
he walks on all four of his legs and has
she motion of most quadrupeds, using
his right arm and left leg at the same
time, and alternates with the left arm
and right leg. 1t is not exactly walk
or trot, bat kind of ambling gait,
while the chimpanzee uses his arms az
crutches, but lifts one foot from the
ground u little in advance of the other.
They do not place the palm of the hand
on the ground, but use the back of the
fingers from the second joint and ut
times the one | have described above
seemed To touch only the back of tho
nails, but this was when she was scarce
ly moving at all. am now preparing
TO photograph some of them, and think
/ can give more reliable picture OF
this animal than have ever seen here.

Gloves OF the Season.

We find in the shops gloves from France,
Germany, Italy and Great Britain as well
as gloves made in our own country. The
pelts of numerous animals are contributed.
For driving gloves reindeer and antelope,
goat and dogskins are employed. For or
binary walking wear men patronize largely
the dogskins with heavy black points cut
on the same principle as driving gloves, but
having smart appearance. Many of the
fur topped, knitted and lined gloves are Of
English make. Next in importanceandf for
preference as regards quality many place
the French goods.
From the French metropolis the gloves
are Of a fanciful nature, those known as
the Louis Quinze having bracelets of
stitchery matching the points, either the
glove being colored with black stitching,
or Of black kid with colored stitching. For

evening wear up to 16 button length there
are mousquetaires in pale shades of suede
and kid, stitched with any color to match
the gown. The evening gloves of French
kid include some Of the rarest and most
beautiful tints now being worn. From
Paris, too, come the perfumed suedes, such
as the Princess OF Wales always wears.
Also those in real Russian leather.
The chrevettes are among the best and
most expensive gloves In the market. They
are of the finest baby goatskin, and are soft
and flexible. The very best hands in the
factories are employed to cut these The
kids and suedos from the same center of
the glove industry are worthy Of notice.
In the case of the latter there are gussets
between each of the fingers, TO insure a
more perfect fit, but none at the thumb.
The colors include some dainty grays,
mushrooms and fawns. stitched and point
ed with thick white silk
For day wear there are gloves in reds,
russets, tans and browns. Some of these
have two rows in the narrowest stitching
in black, red or white There are some
very fine kid In four or six buttons in lovely
tones of ochre, beaver, tan and mushroom,
stitched with black. For evening wear the
same glove is sold with the back of the
hand quite plain.

ALLEGED BRUTALITY.
Children OF Clergyman Said to Have
Died From Neglect.

Children OF n Clergyman Said to Have
Died From Neglect.
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Dec. 27-Rev.
Edward Bell, editor Of The Weekly Flag,
and his wife, were arrested last evening
on the charge of neglecting and ill-treat-
ing Arthur Bell. 10 years old, child by n
Bells former wife. The boy was taken to
the hospital a week ago, following the
death of his 16-year-old sister, Edith
She died of pneumonia and diphtheria
She had no medical attendance, and her
body was exhumed for chemical analysis
The neighbors assert that the girl was
shockingly treated, and was found dead
in room unattended by anyone. Several
weeks previous to that another child in
the family, Harry Bell, 10 years old, was
found dead under similar circumstances
The autopsy showed that he was suffering
from typhoid malaria.
Agent Meyer of the Brooklyn Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
swore out the warrant on which Bell and
his wife were arrested. Meyer says he
has evidence enough against both to have
them indicted for manslaughter in con-
nection with the death Of the two children
named.
Bell is known all over the west and
east, where, it is said, he travelled under a
score OF aliases while in the ministry.

of the most striking Of this seasons visiting

A skirt OF black satin, not over full, with

pie of persuaders leveled on him, and hs
caved. We sat down aud had little talk
with the colonel and found that he had
been laboring under great mistake~two
of 'em. In the first place, he felt it his
duty as patriot to bring the population of
this territory up to the point where she
would be taken into the Union as a state,
and his plan was to offer real estate at bed
rock prices. In fact, he was Offering bed
rock itself. In the second place, he was a
cuss who never fully appreciated the power
OF the press. His idea was that when an
editor got cantankerous he could be bought
up for about $3.50 or scared out of his boots
by a libel suit. He was hugging the fond
delusion that our hair was standing on end,
and that we were waiting for dark night
to skip the county. 1t was almost painful
to witness his awakening to the true facts
in the case. He had been here two years
without even knowing thatw had pri-
vate graveyard with II mounds in It'll He
had passed the spot two or three times and
seen us ut work cutting the grass and
training the vines, but supposed it was a
field in which we planted such dead half
breeds rs got drunk and froze to death on
the streets in the winter
We had something to say to Colonel
Smiley about his assets, and that stone
mountain. and his libel suits, and we found
that he was quite anxious TO agree with US.
We suggested change of climate and fixed
the date of his departure at o'clock in the
evening, and he favored the change and
thought he could get ready by Z. We
don't know the exact minute of bis going,
but we are sure he went. For reasons OF
his own he didn't 60 round bidding the
public goodby, and he probably stepped
very high and very softly as he went down
the alleys. While it is true that Colonel
Smiley seems to have vanished off the face
OF the earth, there is no particular mystery
about it. He has simply vanished from one
spot TO appear in another. No one blew
him up with a bomb or enticed him to a
lonely spot and cracked his skull. Wecan't
say that he was in the best of spirits when
we last saw him, but bis general health was
never better, and il nothing interfered he
walked at least 90 miles that night. We
have no objections against correspondents
of eastern papers making as long string"
as they can, but in case Of sudden and mys-
terious disappearances in the future it will
be as well for them TO call around at THE
KICKER office and get the inside facts. II
can be depended on that we are always
more or less mixed up with such cases

Sherman and Morgan BelrlendinS the
ElCsraSuan Canal.
UNCLE SAM SHOULD SEND AID
Toward Building Great ntor-Ocsanic
Highways-Friends of the Eads Ship
Railway Urging It's Claims Say Il IL
Cheaper Than Canal.

WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-The house COM
hittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, which has under consideration a
measure authorizing the appointment of
"a joint commiss ion to inquire into the
practicabiiity of the proposed Nicaragua
ship canal to connect the two oceans, has
been giving the question careful atten-
tion.
The same subject is also under con-
sideration by the senate committees on
foreign relations and commerce. Senator
Morgan, who has taken the deepest inter-
est in this great work, has prepared an
elaborate report showing the Importance
of the construction of the Nicaraguan
canal. Senator Sherman. who is mem
Der of the same committee, Is also an
earnest advocate of government aid in be-
half of this great work.
Governments Should Help.
Both Senators Morgan and Sherman
maintain that it il the duty of the
United States to lend all proper aid to the
construction of this great highway to the
Pacific. They especially regard it of
great Importance, as the French Panama
scheme has totally failed, entailing great
loss upon all its holders of securities.
They do not think that it will ever be re-
vived. Therefore they regard it as incum-
bent upon American capitalists with the
encouragement of the government, To
construct some great inter-oceanic high
way which, while affording all facilities
for commerce, Will be the least expensive.
Eads Ship Railway.
The friends Of the old Eads isthmian
railway through Mexico, by way of the
isthmus of Tehuantepec, have appeared
before both committees of congress, and
have asked that the scope of the measure
under consideration, which is the ap-
pointment of joint commission, be so
enlarged as to include an examination
and report upon the isthmian ship rail
way project, which was devised by Cap
Gain Eads, and the practicability of which
was established before his death
ship Railway Is Cheaper.
Ex-Representative Rice of Maine, and
General Andrews, who constructed under
Captain Eads' direction the st. Louis
bridge and the jetties at the mouth of The
Mississippi, have made arguments before
both committees OF congress in support of
the investigation Of the practicabiity of
the ship railway project. The committee is
disposed to enlarge the investigation SO
rs to include both the canal and the rail-
way. 1t is claimed that the ship railway
: can be built for one-quarter the estimated
cost of the canal.

Joel Hodgdon, an eccentric character of
the town, living alone in rude dwelling
about mile from the center Of the town,
was foully murdered, robbed and his re

questions. He was noticed late last even
ing at the village postoffice in company
with stranger, and that was the last

together, and today nothing can be
learned of the stranger who is badly
wanted by the officials. He is described

moustache and wearing long ulster, be-
ing very fluent talker

kept in the house. About two weeks ago
he received registered letter IN which
was considerable amount of money, and
this letter was folnd upon his person. 1t

No one knows the amount of money
which was in the envelope, but some Of
the citizens, who were personally ac-
quainted witt the old man, say that IL
was large amount, as his investments in
the west were large.
