A VAULT TO COST $4,000
Now Being Erected at Baltimore to
Hold Mr.. Mays Remains.

The foundation is being laid in Bonnie
Rrae cemetery, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can, for a handsome vault that will cost
when completed, not less than S3o,OO0. be-
cause of the fine materials used in its con-
struction. 1t is being built by Mrs. Cecilia

late Frederick Decorrsey May. Mr.. May
died while travelling in europe last winter
His remains were brought to Baltimore
last Christmas and placed in temporary
vault in eonnie Rrae.
The new vault will lie made for two
caske:s, both of which will rest in solid
ma rble rcceptacles. The vault will be Of
soli1 marble, ee? antly carved, after the
Grecian style. Paltlmore county limestone

will be of bronze, and they will be double.
The vault will stand about fourteen feet
above the level of the roa lway. Its dimen-
sions will be twenty-three and a half by
seventeen feet In the rear will stand u

trance there will be a statue of a large
watch dog. Two heavy glass windows,

GARNER HERE AGAIN,
Full of Anecdotes of His Experiences
While Studying Monkey Talk.

Prof. Richard L. Garner, formerly of the
Smithsonian Institution, who has passed
nearly a year in Africa studying the Ian
guage of the monkeys is back on Ameri-
can soil. He arrived at New York from
London by the Etruria, with his head full
Of the strange words of the Simians.
"My trip he said. was great sue
cess in spite of the fact that was serious
ly handicapped from the very outset i
was compelled to go to Africa without a
phonograph, on which instrument 1 had
placed my greatest reliance. In the early
spring of '93, after landing in Gaboon,
decided to ascend the Ogowe river about
250 miles for the purpose of locating the
habitat of the gorillas and the chimpan-
zees.
Finally settled upon the southern shore
of Lake Fernan Vaz, which is about de-
grees south of the equator. Back about a
mile from the lake in a dense jungle.
pitched my cage. For nearly six months
lived in this cage with a native boy and
a young chimpanzee named Moses. that
had captured.
"Moses often dined with me, but he could
never learn the table etiquette of the eau
casian. 1 tried to teach him to speak Eng
lish. but he made little progress. He did
succeed, before he died, in learning some
simple problems with blocks, and 1 dis
covered that he could count.
soon after / was in the bush l saw my
first gorilla. My face seemed to interest
him most, and he regarded my features
critically, as IL studying my character. A
few mornings later l vas awakened by a
gorilla shrieking near my house. He would
vary these shrieks. which were almost like
those of human being. with the most aw-
full roars l ever heard. The gorilla's roar
is unlike anything l ever heard or .maSin-
ed. 1t is one of the most awful sounds in
the world. 1t almost makes ones bleed
stand still in the veins. There are several
notes in the crescendo roar which resemble
the bray of a donkey, but incomparably
harsher and louder.
After / had been several weeks in the
jungle l attempted to make a number OF
photographs, but to my disgust found that
my camera would not work. During my
stay in the cage 1 recorded about twelve
words of the chimpanZee language, and
about half as many of those of the gorilla
tongue. 1 found that the two were entirely
distinct"

prepared, for he has no opportunity what
ever, and can have none, to ascertain Vheth-
er his ballot was correctly prepared or not
He must depend entirely upon the election
officer who marks 1t for him. Such was the
condition of the iliterate voters who voted
at Altamont precinct, which was presided
over by an election board that, the PROOF
shows, and the contestee confesses, made
false return.
In view Of the different plans and meth
DDS now in use in the conduct Of elections
from those employed when the rule that the
ballot, If properly preserved. is the best
evidence was adopted. the committee sug-
gests whether that rule ought not now, In
some degree, at least, to be relaxed.
THE committee submits that the testi-
mony Of the electors who voted at Alta
mont precinct Is admissible for all purposes
of the contest"
The Minority's Side.
The minority report in the case is signed
by the five republican members Of the COM
mittee. After stating the points Of the case
concerning which there is no difference OF
opinion the minority report holds that
there can be no question that the ballots
were presented as cast, the manner Of keep
ing them, the unbroken seal and the fact
that the elections officers had marked their
initials on the backs, all going to prove
their Identity. The minority report then
says:
when the ballots have been safely pre-
served, as required by law. they become the
best and primary evidence as to how the
elector voted, and the testimony Of the
voter Is secondary and inadmissible. The
ballots are not only part of the election
returns, but are of a higher grade Of evil
dence than the tally papers or a summary
made from them. To permit voters to come
up after an election, as in this case, and
swear they voted differently from what the
ballots show would open up field of un-
ending perjuries and frauds. If such should
be the rule, every election might be tried
over a second time by the oath Of the voter
instead of the ballots deposited in the ballot
box. mistake in the count or in tallying
the vote, or an impeachment of the re-
turns or tally papers, even for fraud, do
not, Of themselves. discredit the ballots. To
them the law points as the source to cor
rect all such errors and mistakes. They
commit no perjury and cannot be bribed.
These general principles to which We have
called attention are fundamental, and are
fully recognized and followed by the law
and the decisions of the supreme court of
California"

The CriminaI's Dread of His Record

From McClure's Magazine.
Since the service was organized in Paris
ten years ago upward of 5000 old offenders
have been recognized by means Of Il. In
1888 the number was forty-nine: In 1892
ii had risen to ESQ. OF course. there is a
considerable economy in the prompt recog-
milton Of former delinquent, for when
an individual attempts to conceal his iden-
tity he is detained as a caution on an aver
age of loo days. at an expense Of about
franc day. Five thousand persons ideTti-
fed promptly means. therefore a saving of
about 100000 francs.
But there are still more practical results;
the maiefactors Of a country where the
system has been adopted are the first to
realize the impossibiity of escaping its
records. Naturally they seek new terri
tory. Thus the pickpockets ot Paris have
been materially decreased since anthrOporn-
etry began its reign in the Palais de
Justice. From siXty-five in 1885 their num-
ber fell TO fourteen I'm 1890. This exodus
felt I'm the police courts of the neishboring
countries. especially in Belgium. and when
the latter country adopted the BeTtillOn
system Switzerland at once followed. She
saw that otherwise she was going 10 re-
ceive all the incorrigibles and vagabonds
of both countries. The professor Of penal
law at the University of Berne said in
1890:
There is no more powerful motive for
not committing crime than ;he assur-
ance that IT will be followed by punish
ment."
So powerful is the method considered by
penal authorities that there has been a re-
peated demand that il be made jnternation-
al in all civilized countries.

The Colorado supreme court has sent the
fire and police board case back to the dis

The unanimous opinion of the court is that
this question must be determined by the

The governor is no more charged with the
duty Of seating them in case Of a contro-
versy than he is with seating a councilman

arisen
The governor was seen Immediately after
the opinion was rendered, and in reply to
question. said: ''I have absolutely nothing
to say upon this subject"
Considerable uneasiness in The city was
caused by the fact that the supreme court
having decided against the governor he
threatened II is said, to take the matter
into his own hands.
The unanimous opinion of the court was
adverse to the action of the governor in all
things except that the court recognized his
right to remove and appoint members of the
board. 1t was declared his power ended
there, and that he could not induct his ap-
pointees into Office, and his employment Of
the militia for this purpose was greatly in
error and unauthorized by law.
The committee of safety asked the gov-
ernor to grant them an interview. The gov
eronr sent a reply that he would meet
committee of twenty or twenty-five but re-
fused to see forty or fifty.

Prepared to Enforce His Request.

There was considerable excitement about
the offices of the Philadelphia Traction Com
pany yesterday when unknown crank
brandished a revolver and threatened to
take the life of Supt. German. The man
first made his appearance in the line of ap-
plicants for positions as gripmen and con-
ductors one day last week. Lately this line
has been very long, and the men are obliged
to wait some time before their turn comes
to meet the man in charge of this branch of
the service. Yesterday, while waiting in
line, the crank whispered to the man next
to him: "Gorman won't employ me, and 1
going to kill him.
With these words he whipped out a large
revolver. Officers were promptly notified,
but before they could reach the spot the
man had disappeared.
