AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

The ssHappv Family Gave a Red Hot
Reception to Their Visitor.
II saw an amusing incident in Cen
trail park one day last summer said

happened to be standing in front of
the monkey cage watching the antics
of the Happy Family when keeper
came along with a big doll dressed up
in a bright red dress, which he placed
in a corner of the cage. The advent
of the new conner into their abode at
first seemed to fill the monkeys
with aston1shment and fear. They
huddled themselves together in
remote corner and keeping their
eyes on the doll, chartered away at
great rate. Finally one big monkey,
little Drawer than the rest, began to
advance cautiously upon the intruder
When within about three feet of the
doll, the monkey proceeded to stamp
the floor and chatter, evidently in
tending to brighten the visitor away
Finding that the doll did not move
and that there was nothing very
keys began to approach until they
were all collected around their mys-
terious guest. At last after cycling it
and smelling around for several min
utes, one of the largest monkeys sud
denly bounced upon the doll and in
an instant had torn the bright-colored
dress from its body, whereupon the
other monkeys immediately fell upon
the poor doll and in less time than it
takes to tell it had torn it to snreds. -

Professors to Do the Same

Professors to Do the Same
ITHACA, n. Y, April 1.-THE late DR..
W. l. Brenizet, who committed suicide in
this city last Saturday, before he died
left his brains to Cornell university, in
the interest of science.
In connection with this, it may be of
interest to state that DR.. Wilder, who has
charge of this department in the uni
versity, has secured by written agree
ment the brains of some twenty Cornell
professors and prominent Ithaca citizens
at their demise, in the interest of sci
ence.
When DR.. Brenizet was discovered
dead, a bullet wound was found in the
temple and one in the forehead This
lead to the belief that but one shot had
been fired by the suicide, the doctors
claiming that it would have been an Ut
ter impossibilitv for the suicide to have
more than one shot in his brain.
When the brain was removed by the
University two bullets were found i'm
bedded in the brain and destroyed the
learned doctors theories. They claim
that this is an important discovery and of
great interest to the medical world and
criminal authorities.

WHAT is the use of giving downtrod-
den and oppressed WON the right to
vote if downtrodden and oppressed
woman won't exercise the privilege?
Down in Kansas, where the women have
been enfranchised, they no longer take
any interest in the elections. 1t was all
right for a time, but the novelty has
worn of and now the men have things
their own way as before. At Leaven-
worth, where 1900 women were regis
tered last year, only 1000 registered this
spring, and of this number but 300 or
400 voted last Tuesday. About the same
state of things exists in Fort Scott
The women don't care anything about
politics, even in Kansas. They don't
want to be bothered with it, and as a re-
suit the tyrant man is running things to
suit himself again About the only en-
couraging thing in connection with the
Kansas woman suffrage system is the
fact fact that the women who do vote
usually vote the Democratic ticket
which shows that they would be a vaIu-
able and elevating factor in politics if
they could be got to the polls.-Chicago
Herald.
This is the kind of foolish talk we
hear from newspaper editors who don't
know what they are talking about, i'm
mediately after every inconsequental
election in Kansas. Very few women
voted in Kansas this spring and it is
noteworthy that very few men voted
also; but nobody pretends to say that the
men ought not to have the ballot .sbe-
cause they don't want to be bothered

A FuIl-Fledged Ranch Carried ON In .
Montana City Block.
People passing the Realty block in
Anaconda, Mont, were attracted by
novel sight in the window of one of
the vacant store rooms In shallow
wooden box, less than three feet
square, their downy bodies in con-
slant motion and their shrill pipings
sounding even through the glass, are
seventy-two chickens, apparently as
happy as If they were in a barnyard
under the care of busting hen. The
box is '.broodern and is the only
mother that the seventy-two fluffy
youngsters have ever known, and in
it they have lived for the week that
they have been alive. Prompted by
curiosity reporter sought out Mrs.
Childs the 1andlady of the
building, to learn if possible
whether or not she intends
to start a poultry ranch in a three
story brick block in the city, and if
she is, to learn how she proposes to
run it. Mrs Childs demonstrated
very easily that she knows what she
is doing, and that she can do it sue
cessfu1ly. She has started to raise
broi1ers for the market and intends to
do it in her block. Mrs. Childs' apar,
ments are on the third story and In
one of her rooms she has two incu-
bators, one containing 100 eggs and
the other 200. Here the chickens are
Matched, and as soon as they get the
use of their legs they are transferred
to the brooder and taken to the base
ment, which has been divided into
pens Of convenient size. Here they
live in the brooder until they are two
weeks old, when they are placed In
the pens and allowed to run about and
grow. When they are eight or nine
weeks old they are ready for market.

any way other than in the interests of
the entire nation. Railroads appear
to be the means of controlling and
centralizing all wealth and all power.
Around this gigantic octopus the
branches of which ramify to all por-
tions of the Union, cluster all the
trusts, monopolies and combinations
known to the financial world; and it
is difficult to conceive of scheme
better adapted to centralize wealth or
more destructive of the rights and
liberties of the masses than the pres
ent system, which, under favorable
conditions and from a small and
harmless commencement has devel-
oped into monstrous evil which in
the language of Southey has grown
too big and strong for law or shame.
Railroad companies know NO opposi-
ton. They make and destroy cities,
ruin homes, impoverish whole COM
munities, defy the law, shape tho
course of legislation, and by oppos-
ing the just demands of labor engen-
der strikes, create national distress
and paralysis of trade. Can there be a
more certain or positive means of
centralizing the wealth of nation
than this? Would the people of the
United States, should they assume
control of the lines of transportation,
adopt sinister and thieying means of
operation and openly rob them
selves?
The possibility of the party in pow
er having an opportunity in case of
Matchmaking of railroads, of so
strengthening its position as to make
it's deposition impossible could be OBJ
waited by stripping the Executive
Department of certain amount of
the appointing power and placing it
with the people, where it rightfully
belongs.

pointed to have Mayor Hopkins make

The proposition of nominating Unit
ed States Senators by State Conven-
tions is becoming more popular each
year. Such nomination must nee
essarily take the nature of an indorse-
ment, and the State Legislatures
would be expected to accept the nom

act accordingly. Senator Palmer of
Illinois was Endorsed by the Conven-

F." ETE RNAL VIGILANCE Is THE
PRICE Or LIBERTY

The present strike has demonstrat-
ed that the laboring forces throughout
the United States are becoming more
thoroughly organized each day. Where
short time ago labor Unions were
separated into disconnected and dis
cordant factions, they now present
a solid front and move with a firm
conviction that their action is just,
and clearly forecast that sooner or
later the two great forces capital and
labor must decide their differences
amicably or otherwise, but decide they
must.
There is a vital principle behind
this great uprising of the la boring
classes. 1t is mighty protest against
oppression. The movement is but the
clashing of two great ideas. 1t is the
idea of capital in conflict with the
idea of labor. Capital entrenched
behind oppressive privileges, and high
handed prerogatives, insolently de-
mands the complete surrender of
labor; while labor flashes back de-
faint protest, and asserts it's independ-
ence. Capital with it's customary av-
arice and domineering exclusiveness
seeks to strip labor of it's freedom
and reduce it to condition of per-
manent subsection; while labor re-
alizing that without unremitting
watchfulness and firm determin-
alton to defend their freedom with
their lives, that the awful doom of
SYNONYMOUS slavery is the inevitable
destiny of the laboring classes. The
old idea that has prevailed since the
dawn of history, that the natural
divisions of society are the aristocra-
cy or moneyed class and the common
atty or laboring class is struggling
for supremacy and to make its exist
ence permanent and invincible. It is
against this principle of special privi
leges and class distinction that the
laboring men are rebelling. It is
against the unjust and dangerous
principle of the strong plundering the
weak and the rich robbing the poor
that the workingmen are protesting.
The dangers of to-day, says John
Fisk, care not that we need fear

and bogies of the nursery, but the

Judge Ross in the United States
Circuit Court for the Southern District
of California, has just decided that
some 700, 600 acres of land lying in
Los Angeles and Ventura counties,
and claimed by the Southern Pacific
Company, are not the property of that
corporation, but revert to the United
States Government. These lands were
originally granted to the Atlantic &
Pacific Railroad Company, and sub
sequently forfeited for noncompliance
with the terms of the grant. Between
the time of the original grant and the
time of forfeiture, in July 1886, the
Southern Pacific Company obtained
an Act of Congress purporting to con-
vey these lands to that company, but
Judge Ross holds, very properly, that
when the forfeiture occurred, it hav-
ing been made for the benefit of the
United States, the Atlantic & Pacific
grant did not pass to the Southern
Pacific Company, but reverted to the
Government.
