ALCOHOL AS AN APE CATCHER.


The Joeko Tribe as Fond of Booze as Is
the Human Race.
1.-THE ape family resembles man in
more than one respect" remarked a
citizen of jackson, Miss. to a St.
Louis Globe-Demoerat man. 'sThey
love liquor, and this love, as is
the case with mankind, often causes
them to fall. The natives of central
Africa make a fermented beer of which
the monkeys are very fond, and, by
using 1t as bait, capture a great num-
Der of these animals. The natives go
to the parts of the forest frequented
by the monkeys, and set on the ground
gogrds full of the enticing liquor. AS
soon as a monkey sees and tastes It he
,ntters loud cries of joy that soon at
tract his comrades. Then an orgy be-
gins, and in short time the beasts
show all degrees of intoxication Then
the negroes appear. The drinkers are
too far gone to distrust them, but ap.
parently take them for large species
of their own genus. When negro
takes one by the hand to lead it off
the nearest monkey viii cling to the
one who thus finds support and en-.
deavor to go off also. Another viii
grasp at him, and thus in turn till the
negro leads staggering line of ten or
fifteen tipsy monkeys. When finally
got to the village the monkeys are Sc
eurely Gagged and gradually sober
down, but for two or three days linn
tied supply OF liquor is given them SO
as to reconcile them by degrees to
their state of captivity

FINEST PARKS IN THE WORLD

Australia Can BOAST OF Finer Public GAR
dens Than Any other Country.
In no country in the world do people
pay so much attention to their city and
country parks as do the Australians,
says a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer AS none of the large cities is
ever visited by frost or snow all have
great advantages over the cities of our
northern states or of northern Europe.
Adelaide, the capital of South Aus
tralia, has park with botanical gar
dens which for beauty of situation, ar
rangement of grounds and variety of
trees and plants is unequaled by any
city in the world, unless 1t might be
by those of Melbourne, Sydney and
Brisbane in the same country. These
Australian parks are not simply orna-
mental, they are useful; the people
use them, and, as they are free to all,
their one Objectionable feature Is the
fact that they are made the resort Of
"sun-downers," or tramps, and of
other disreputable characters One of
the largest of these city parks, and 1t
promises in time to be the most beauti-
full is Centennial park, of Sydney, New
South Wales. This park was purchased
and surveyed four years ago, to com
memorate the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the founding of Sydney, which,
ut tho beginning, was penal colony
of England The municipality has
gone to great expense to adorn the
park with scores of replicas of famous
statues or the statues of famous men
from all parts of the world.
It is very pleasant to an American,
driving through this park, to see, near
the entrance, a huge marble statue of
Abraham Lincoln, which is a fac smile
of the one in Union square, New York
city. One of Washington is also to be
seen, a little further on there is a
heroic figure of Garfield, looking to-
ward that of England grand old man,
Gladstone, across the way. There are
also busts of Longfeliow, Bryant and
Sheridan, as we'll as life-size copies of
many of the Rogers groups, such Rs
f'fhe Wounded Scout, The Advance
Picket Guard and THE Last Car
fridge" But it is not only America
that is honored in this way In driy=
ing through the Centennial park one
sees Napoleon and Bismarck, tho duke
of Wellington, Gen. Hayelocl5 and King
John OF Abyssinia. The Australians
have not only the parks in their large
cities, but every town and village has
its pleasure grounds, and the race track
is to be found in every settlement. All
the colonies also have large areas like
our own Yellowstone and Yosemite set
apart as national parks. The wisdom
Of this course will become evident as
bhe population increases and land be-
comes more valuable.

JUpGE john S. LITTLE, who, as in
dicated by the returns from Arkan-
sas primaries up TO date, will sue
coed Hon. c. r. Breckenridge IN
Congress, resides at Greenwood, Ark.
He is native of Sebastian county,
and was its Prosecuting Attorney
for eight years. Fol four years he
was Circuit Judge. He is candi-
didate for the Second Cogressionnal
district of his State, which district
comprises the counties of Sebastian.
Scott, Polk, Montgomery, Garland,

Dallas, Bradley, Drew. Cleve and

will consist of eighty delegates, and
Judge Little already has a majority
of instructed votes. Judge Little
is an out and out free silver man,
and has had prepared q handsome
badge representing that principle.
His aaherents claim that he will get
80 per cent, Of the total vote, and
hold that 10 general election he
would be almost unanimously

Ia the above, the esteemed Mem

Battle With Burxiars.

WATERLOO, Ia, Aug. 29.--Two bur- glars entered the residence of Frank Heckei here and held revolvers at the heads of Mir. and Mrs. Heckel, threaten ing to shoot if any outcry was made. Mrs. Heckel, however, gave an alarm, snd the men lied. Mir Heckel followed with his revolver, and eight or 10 shots were exchanged, but as it was very dark none were effective. Before entering the house the burglars had taken of their shoes, and could not find them when they came out. They then broke into two other residences and got shoes. the officers were soon on their tracks and captured them with the stolen shoes on. They had two gold watches, diamond rings and other jewciry. They gave their names as Williams and Ryan, and said they came from Aurora, Ills.

4 Cotton Picking Machine.

NEW HAVEN, Aug. 29.--Eh Whitney of this city, grandson of the famous in- ventor of the cotton gin, has invented a cotton picking machine, which he calls the Whitney harvester. It resembles an ordinary grain harvester. The mech anis,n is operated by an endless chain at- tached to a rear wheel. A series of ver- tical cylinders, suspended from the bot tom of the wagon with hooks and rolls attached, gathers the cotton into bas- ket as the harvester drives over the field. By means of this machine two men and two horses can harvest as much cotton as 100 workmen. Experiments show that S5 per cent. of the cotton in g field can be harvested.

 ANOTHER BAD DEFEAT.

The French Forces In Africa AEmost
 Annfhiiated by Taurags.
 PARIS, Aug. 29--AIost startling news has reached here from Senagsl, in West Africa. According to 8 report at St. Louis on the coast, the French garrison at Timbuctoo, after three days desper- ate fighting with the Tauregs and other hostile tribes which have been invest ing that city for long time, made a sortie. The beseiging forces were oyer whelming in numbers and elssupon the sortie party, fairly snnihilasng them.
 This news has caused constexnation in many circles, as it is the second serious disaster the French have met with in the vicinity of Timbuctoo since that impor- tant Soudanese town was occupied by the French. early in the current year.

session when the senate was without a quorum Chairman Blackburn tried to have 8 resolution adopted authorizing the committee to consider 4 revision of the rules during the recess. tut it has been steadily objected to by Senator Blanchard. The motive of the Louisi- ana senator is not concealed He says he does not want the rules revised so that debate may be cut off and vote forced upon the bill repeating the sugar duty. The Louisiana senators still light s change in the rules, as will other sen ators opposed to the removal of sugar duties. Added to these are senators who do not believe that under any circum- stances should there be a change in the rules which would curtail liberty of de- bate. Consequently an effort to change the rules when the session begins in De- cember will probably not meet with any success

 Iii seems that the name of Col. Knox was not the only one forged ta checks by this slick swindler. It now transpires that the name of Dr. JP. Stanley was also forged. but thai no money was realized upon if because it was left "on deposit" with M. Fred Senyard.
 It also appears that gang of slick rascals are plying their trade Throughout the State. In the Fort Smith Times of the 18th inst. is given at. account of similar f0rgeries in tleat city. man giving the name of pJ. Murphy passed several forged elecks bearing the name of Joe F. uainn on merchants in the Border eity. He would go into q store, pufchase small lot of goods and then present check for Sl5 or S25 and ask for thea rest in money. In this manner Murphy secured about sl0O and then disappeared as myste- riensly as Johnson disappeared from Iiae Bluff Now the question arises, are Murphy and Johnson c0nfeder= atas in the bnsiness9 It seems so. and we would advise the other towns !. in Ihe State t0 look out for them.
