THE GORILLA PROFESSOR.

Prof. Garner. the scientist, who ha.
been studying the domestic habits and
manners OF the gorillas in Africa, and
who got himself shut UP In an iron
cage In the jungles for the purpose OF
being near enough for observation, but
not too near for comfort, is at present
on q visit to his home In the United
States.
The Professors experience is not &C
cepted with unlimited confidence in
Europe. A man named Mclaughlin. who
processes to know all about 1t. tells the
Paris Figaro that Garner was only in
the Jungle two nights, whereupon Labou-
chere makes fun of the Professor in the
London Truth.
When these facts were made known
to Prof. Garner in Cincinnati. his COM
ments were brief and very much to the
point, II want to be emphatic right at the
start" he said. "This fellow McLaugh-
lin is a liar. and I will simply slap La
bouchere's face when i return to Eng
land
The remarks OF the Professor will
probably change some OF the opinions
of his two critics. Mr.. Mclaughlin may
now be willing to admit that the Profes-
sor was among the gorillas long enough
to catch some OF their manners. while
Labouchere may be OF the opinion that
It would be better to confine Prof. Gar
ner to his iron cage a little longer.

want a bill Of fare like Delmonico's or a palace

superintend scrubwomen, boil eggs till they get
tender. cook beef stew (Bowery style) and buck

good enough for those dainty gentlemen. 'Tis
mean to be kicking about what you get to eat
anyway. And here we have thousands OF bache-
lors earning from IS to $50 a week looking for
elegant wives. Can't 1t be hammered into their
heads that our city girls want only milionaires
and our millionaire heresses only titled foreign

The RuckIe Fad.

The variety in style and texture Of the
dainty Summer blouses and shirt waists
is responsible for the buckle fad. which
will prove a heavy drain on the ordinary
pocketbook.
The silver buckles are most popular.
They are long and narrow or round and
much ornsmented. Some are OF filigree.
while others are plain or oxidized-
Buckles of black enamel inlaid with SILL
yer or gold are effective upon q DELI
cately tinted ribbon belt.
The gold buckles are beautiful enough
to warrant the price at which they are
sold. Plain gold buckles have the
owners monogram engraved upon them
Among the newest silver buckles are
those inlaid with pale blue enamel. Deli
cate buckles OF tortoise shell are also
seen this year. inlaid with gold or en-
amel. The buckles which adorn the
tennis belt are sure somewhere. to show
racket.
A new buckle to be worn with yacht
ing gown is of Roman gold shaped like
an anchor, with bronzed cords coiled
about 1t.
A dainty buckle attached to a wide rib
bon belt was formed of a wreath OF blue
enamel forget-me-nots.

The Income Tax.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Sir: The wealth OF this city held a meeting
In Carnegie Music Hall last Friday evening to pro-
test against the income tax One OF the speakers
protested against this tax on the grounds that
1t affected the workingman who has a few dollars
In a savings bank. What humbug! Another that
tho working people, or the poorer classes. would
have to pay this tax in an Indirect way. More
humbug. The poor people know better than this
and therefore are not protesting against this tax
They know this is a fair and Just tax and will tax
the people that can best afford to pay 1t. a
great many of the newspapers to the contrary
Notwithstanding The newspapers and Senator's
that opposing this measure simply work
ing in the interest OF themselves and the classes
that this tax will fall Let Congress pass this
Tariff bill with the income tax. and follow this
up by enactng such laws that will restrict immi-
grafton to about 100, 900 immigrants a year. and
the people will give the Democratic party a much
longer lease of power than they gave the Repub-
licans. A. II. DESBRoW,

A WORD 10 THE POLICE BOARD.

The Police Commissioners are naturally
Indignant that their inspectors and cap
tains and ward detectives should be
charged with levying blackmail on places
of evil resort in the city and that the
charges should bear SO Enthusiastically the
Impress of truth. No doubt the revela-
tion Is q great shock to them, and their
desire to cleanse the Department Of such
wicked people Is creditable.
But we would respectfully suggest to
the Commissioners that 1t is always bet
Ter to attend to one thing at a time, es-
pecially when that thing is being well
done and Is likely to prove a grand sue
cess.
The Lexow Committee is very rapidly
and very effectively bringing to light alb
eolute proof of the guilt Of the accused
officers. When the Committee gets
through with Its work. as 1t looks now.
there will be little need Of further inves-
tigation. There Is no necessity for haste.
The people have borne with the evil for
70 many years that they can readily sub
init to its endurance for a few weeks or
months longer. Besides. II the Police
Commissioners are SO impatient for the
purincation OF the Department they can
accomplish their object much more speed
NY and certainly than by starting sort
OF counter investigation. which can only
have the effect OF embarrassing and In
timidating the witnesses under q cross
fire Of examination and suppressing vol
sznteer testimony altogether.
''TEe Evening World" suggests to the
Commissioners. and especially to Supt.
Byrnes, the expediency Of enlisting aa
aides to the Lexow Committee instead OF
starting q sort or opposition trial court
In antagonism to that body. Let them
\ at once suspend the accused police off,
GERS from duty pending the Committed q
Investigation. II they have the power un.
der the law to do 30. That will remove
the terrorism that now keeps witnesseI
> out OF the way. Let them then issue Z
! formal notice that no one win be allowed
10 suffer who may testify before tn,
\ Committee and back UP the appeal o
4 DIR. Parkhurst to the members Of the
force to come forward and tell truth
fully all they know Of the methods thai
have prevailed for years.
8 In plain language, let them help the
Y Lexow inquiry instead Of hindering 1t.
This IL the more desirable because the
Lexow investigators have already beer
peeping into the Police Commissioners
private Offices. and It will be very unwis,
OF the Commissioners to betray a dispo
sition to shut the doors In their faces.

The BEAR A WRECK.
United States Revenue Gutter on
the Rocks at Sitka
Struck While Entering the Harbor
at Night on May 29.
No Lives Lost, but Naval Station
Supplies Are in Danger.

SAN FR.-CISCO, June - The
United States revenue cutter Bear Is
almost n total wreck, and possibly by
this time is battered to pieces. A
despatch from one OF the officers OF the
well-known vessel says she is fast on
the rocks at the entrance OF the harbor
at Sitka
The steamer was ploughing her
way into the harbor at good
speed on the night of May 29
when she struck on rock, and
all efforts to get her relief were unavail-
ing. She went on at high water, and
the officers state that they have very
little hope of ever getting her or.
Her stern was the part to suffer most,
and the despatch says that her rud-
der, propeller and sternpost were gone,
and in sea the vessel must surely
break up, as 1t would be impossible for
her to stand any amount of pounding
on the Jagged poipts OF the rock on
which she rests.
The Bear left San Francisco about six
weeks ago to join the Behring Sea fleet
to protect the seals. In her hold she had
about 200 tons OF freight for the naval
supply stations at Point Clarence and
Point Barry and II 1t Is lost the cutters
VIII necessarily ne SHUT VI suppilts
less another vessel Is sent UP with the
necessary cargo. No lives were reported
lost.
The Bear is the largest cutter in the
service and was built by an English
company In Nova Scotia In 1882 fol-
use as a steam whaler in the Arctic
She was purchased by the United states
and was utilized as one Of the Greely
relief vessels, and transferred to the
Treasury Department soon after the
return OF that expedition. She Is 7O'

To the Editor:
Though neither an American nor an English
man, l cannot help making a few remarks on
that letter OF "Johnnie Bull's' and the replies
1t called forth. Though harsh and unfair to
America as a nation. yet It seems to touch a
tender spot in the character OF Americans as
regards political AFFAIRS. The English may be
critical and boastful. but they would not toler-
ate for moment, as history proves. to be ruled
and ridden over by class such controls the
arairs OF this and other cities in this country
To which fact would advise True American
to direct the attention OF the Revolutionary
spirit OF which he 80 proudly speaks. In my
opinion, before this shameful corruption which
THE Evening World is manfully exposing
every day is crushed out Americans must adopt
a higher standard OF education-make II Rbso-
lutely compulsory, and inculcate in the rising
generation higher and more wholesome regard
for honesty Justice and Christianity. ALIEN.

While It is true that many OF our great men

more honor to them as they look back upon the
