MIMICRY AND REASON.
indication That This Monkey l. En-
dOwed with "A Share.

THAT the monkey possesses intelii-
gence 10 a considerable degree is prob
ably true said hotel proprietor who
has a small nenagerie on his premises.
L believe. however, much OF the intelh-
gence with wAich that animal is credit
ed is due to his love of mimicry or
imitation.
Ihe other day two young men with
two girls We're at the monkeys CAGE
feeding him peanuts. One of the glrls
was chewing gum, and one of the men
suggested that she give the monkey
some, expecting tnat if he took il in
his mouth j., would stick to his teeth
and he would make sorry work OF try
ing to chew it. The girl at once parted
with the sweet m0rsel she was so in
dustriously chewing, extending it to-
ward the cage. The monkey grabbed
it instantly and put it into his mouth
but instead of chewing it. or attempt
ing to. began pulling it out in small
ribbons. as children are frequently seen
to do When ne had it al, out OF his
mouth he rolled it into a compact ball
between his hands, threw it into HIS
mouth and began the operation again
He appeared 10 enjoy the performance
as much as his visitors. That was imi-
tation"
That's all right" rejoined another.
"but I had an experience with that
same monkey wherein he displayed in
telligence. l was by the cage smoking
one day, and thought 10 annoy him by
blowing smoke in MS face l was much
surprised to find that instead OF being
annoyed he enjoyed it, as was evi-
denced by his edging up as near me as
possible to receive the smoke in larger
volumes. Soon he began scratching
himself at the point where most of the
smoke came against him. When l had
smoked one side for a few minutes, he
would turn squarely round to have the
other side treated in the same way.
Then he sat up directly in front of me
and received the smoke squarely in the
face and neck. | don't know whether
he held his breath, but he did not cough,
sneeZe, or vince a particle. To COM
plete the job he then sat with his back
toward me, and it would have done you
good to have seen him throw his hind
feet over his back and scratch. 1t made
me think Of the bickers Of hay tedder
in motion. Now that monkey knew
through some sort Of Intelligence, that
nothing will send fleas and other in
sects to the surface or stupefy them as
effectively as tobacco smoke. ."-EX.

SACRIFICE TO HIS STATE.
Gov. Brown Sells His Homestead at
Less Than Half Its Value.

Less Altfu ttcli It's Nalue.
Springfield. the homestead of Gov
Frank Brown. in Carroll county, near
Sykesville, Maryland, has been agreed
upon by the Board of Managers of the
second Hospital for the Insane of the
State of Maryland as the site for the
new hospital, to be erected under the
act of 1894, apropriating $4,000 for a
site and buildings and S25,000 as a
maintenance fund. The purchase price
is $4,000. The area required is $50
acres or more, including the historic
old Patterson mansion and other build
ingS, which, it is estimated. could not
not be duplicated for less than 500, 900
The buildings include the Patterson
mansion, another spacious dwelling
with all outbuildings, granaries, green
houses, and barns, which are supplied
with water from a stone reservoir on
the property. The roads through the
property are all macadamiZed. and the
estate is thoroughly fenced with post
and rail fence. The property was for
merly owned by George Patterson, de-
ceased, uncle of Gov Brown. who was
lavish in his expenditures, and made
the property what he termed it, "a sheet
Of living green 1t is one Of the finest
estates in Maryland and, perhaps. in
the country. Gov. Brown said that
nothing would have induced him to dis
pose of the property, but the recent
death of Mrs. Brown which. in large
measure, broke up his plans for the flu
ture. Springfield is one Of the historic
estates of Maryland. Over the soft
lawns and in the picturesque woodland
walks once strolled Elizabeth Patter-
son, wife of Jerome Bonaparte who was
the daughter of William Patterson, and
a Maryland belle in the present cen
tury'S early years. From Springfield's
doors she rode on horseback to Balti-
more to attend the party where she first
met the young naval officer who after
wards became the King of Westphalia.

MurderOusly Assaulted.

Richard Ridgeville, of Linkville, was
murderously assaulted on his own prop
erty last evening by his half-brOther,
Schuyler McBroom. The attack seems
to be the result of family feud, Nc
Broom's mother being the third wife
and surviving widow of Ridgeyille's
father
Ridgeville, who had lived in Chicago
for some time, came out and took pos
session of his property about a year ago
and since that time claims to have been
constantly annoyed by the McBrOOms.
Mr.. Ridgevile asserts that last evening
he was coming home, keeping to the
right of the road in little foot path
when he saw McBrOOm approaching
from an opposite direction and feared
trouble, but made up his mind to keep
his own side of the road, saying nothing
unless he was assaied but that when
McBroom came up to him he clung to
his, Ridgeville's, side of the road and
they came into collision. This infuri
ated McBroOm, who, with an oath de-
clared heS would teach him to give
man half of the road With that he
turned and went to the house and Sc
curing a revolver started back, but
Ridgeville, to avoid trouble, took a
course across his own property, leaving
the road so as not to meet him. He
says that McBroom, seeing his inten-
ton, ran down a cross road and headed
him off, and that when he came up to
him exclaimed, "D-n you. I'll kill
YOU At the same time pulling a re-
volver, but instead of using it, threw
two heavy stones at him-one striking
him on the side of the head making Il
fearful wound, while the other struck
him on the left hand badly bruising it,.
"A brother of McBroOm's also came out
with ball club to reinforce him, and
Mr.. Ridgeville believing that it was a
case of get away or get tkilled, took to his
heels and succeeded in getting away
from them.
The matter has been placed i'll the
hands of Judge w. B. Hess as attorney
and will be brought before the grand
jury.

THE HORSE IN HISTORY.
Many Things Recorded in Honor Of
the Noble Steed.

Now that the horse is losing its i'm
pOrtance as factor in the travel Of
the times and all the world is at peace,
so that he is not needed in warfare. il
Is worth while to east a retrospective
glance over his history, and recall tea-
lures of past greatness, which must al

he viii suffer a temporary eclipse only
that his record may show all he
brighter when he emerges from the aa-
forced retirement now imminent. nu5
that he should disappear altogether
from the face of the earth, is an u,ti-
mate possibility which takes on the
nature OF a calamity. Surely few 10

The cable was crowded and when a
passenger boarded it he was nearly up

politely; but the man of the hurt toe
scowled and in an undertone muttered

Abstainers from Meat.

A vegetarian diet does not mean liv-

potatoes. but simply abstaining from
the flesh of birds, beasts and fishes.
Bread, fruits, nuts, peas, beans, and

Hose Wrenches from the Fire Engine
House.

BREMEN, Ina, Oct. IL, IS95.-At >
o'clock this morning the Il. X o. Ry..
operator at this place was startled on
looking out of the window by discover
ing a small blaze in the Radiator Works
at this place. He Immediately turned
in an alarm and the fire department
responded promptly but were unable to
do much owing to their discovery at
this point that the hose cart had been
robbed of all wrencheS and other tools
to work with.
The night gang left the shops at 1
O'Clock a. m. and there were no signs OF
fire in any part of the building at that
time. 1t was about o'clock When the
operator first discovered small blaze,
but before the department arrived at
the scene it had spread to every depart
ment, showing that all arrangements
had been made for rapid destruction
of the property, and the whole plant
was destroyed. Nothing was saved but
the books which were in the Office. The
office was a small building adjoining
the works proper and withStoOd the
terrible heat for long time but finally
it too was consumed, but not until the
books and all valuable papers had been
carried out and taken to place Of
safety.
There is much Indignation felt here
as large number of men are thrown
out of work just at the time OF the year
when they most need it.
On further investigation it has been
found that entrance was gained at the
fire department building through a
window and the fire apparatus was
robbed of all tools before the fire was
started showing that the work was
carefully planned. The loss will aggre-
gate $125,000, while the only insurance
was $500 on the building.

Radiator Co., held a meeting this morn
ing at which it was decided to rebuild
at once. There will be a citizens meet
