THE GORILLA PROFESSOR.

Prof. Garner, the scientist, who hh.
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 a visit to his home In the United
States.
The Professors experience Ia not nc
cepted with unlimited confidence In
Europe. man named Mclaughlin, who
processes to know all about II. tells tn,
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.
boucheres face when | 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 tina,
II would be better to confine Prof. Gar
ner to his iron cage little longer.

A WORD TO 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 unmistakably the
impress Of truth. No doubt the revela-
tion 10 a 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 IT is always bet
ter to attend to one thing at 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
solute proof Of the guilt OF the accused
officers. When the Committee gets
through with its work, as It 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
30 many years that they can readily sub
NIT to its endurance for few weeks or
months longer Besides, II the Police
Commissioners are so impatient for the
publication of the Department they can
accomplish their object much more speed
lily and certainly than by starting sort
OF counter investigation. which can only
have the effect Of embarrassing and in
timidating the witnesses under a cross
fire Of examination and suppressing vol
unteer testimony altogether.
The Evening World suggests to the
Commissioners, and especially to Supt.
Byrnes. the expediency OF enlisting as
aides to the Lexow Committee instead OF
starting sort Of opposition trial court
In antagonism to that body. Let them
at once suspend the accused police off,
GERS from duty pending the Committee &
Investigation, II they have the power un-
der the law to do SO. That will remove
the terrorism that now keeps witnesses
out Of the way. Let them then issue q
formal notice that no one will be allowed
to suffer who may testify before tbs
Committee and back up, the appeal OF
DR.. Parkhurst to the members OF the
force to come forward and tell truth.
fully all they know of the methods that
have prevailed for years.
In plain language. let them help the
Lexow inquiry instead Of hindering 1t.
This Is the more desirable because the
Lexow investigators have already been
peeping into the Police Commissioners
private Offices, and 1t will be very unwiss
of the Commissioners to betray a dispo.
sition to shut the doors In their faces

Scented Baths.

A bath Is all the better for a little
scent. A cupful Of eau de cologne
thrown into thirty-gallon tub OF water
Is very fine. Other things carefully
considered. the bather will be sweet
and agreeable for an entire week. This
Is the sort Of bath one gets in Paris
for 25 cents. A postal note sent to a
bathing firm will be answered by "a
carriage" at the appointed hour, con-
tanning the portable tub. fresh towels
and material for hot, cold
spirit. scented or milk bath. The Paris
ienne pays only a franc for warm
bath, but the warm milk for her skin
Is extra; for the virgin bath, made with
few ounces Of benzoin. there is no
extra charge. After the toilet, tub.
towels, carriage and servants go off, to
return when called for. Rents are
high and room is as precious in Paris
as In New York. Only the rich can
AFFORD the luxury of a private bath.
The modern apartment houses are built
with bathrooms, but usually they are
converted into service rooms or pan
tries. from which the morning coffee
and roll or the o'clock tea and biscuit
Is served

The Ruckle 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 ana
much ornamental. Some are of filiaree.
while others are plain or oxidixed.
Buckles Of black enamel inlaid with sill
yer or gold are effective upon a DELI
cately tinted ribbon belt.
The gold buckles are beautiful enough
to warrant the price at which they arc
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
