London Was Responsible for the Higher
Ronua in VrIcas


Range in Prices.
New York, May 14-Dullness was the
predominant feature at the stock ex-
change to-day, but the market while
quiet was decidedly firm throughout
London was mainly responsible for the
higher range Of prices, foreign houses
having purchased between ten and
twelve thousand shares of various
stocks and fair amounts of railway
bonds. The reduction in the posted
rate for sixty day exchange induced To-
cal operators to buy while the commu-

effect on foreign traders
A BELIEF that sound money candi-

SCHOOL FOR MONKEYS. (
They Are Taught to Spell with Let.
tered Blocks.

There has just been founded at Cal
cutta an institution for the education of
monkeys A young monkey is taken
and before him is placed a set of blocks
on which are painted in capitals the let
ters OF the alphabet. These blocks are,
in fact. exactly similar to those which
children play with in every civilized
country in the world and they are used
in precisely the same way as If the
monkey were a young specimen OF the
human race
There Is one professor for each mon
key and the monkey Is taught by means
Of blocks to spell certain words. If the
word Is fruit" for example. the mon
key. after having been taught to ar
range the blocks SO as to spell the word
quickly and without error, receives a
bit of fruit as his reward. The same
exercise is repeated with other words
and 1t is hoped that in time the SIM
ians will learn how to read and spell
and understand English II they can not
speak it.
Only young animals are taken. There
Is no danger of this queer school lack
ing for scholars. for there are thousands
of monkeys to be found in that part of
India where Calcutta Is situated. An
effort will also be made. 1t Is said, to
educate these beasts so that they may
become fairly efficient domestic SER
wants. The school Is so young as yet
however. shat what it will accomplish
is entirely a matter of speculation. Its
professors are enthusiastic about
their novel work and seem to think that
a new field of usefulness will be opened
up for these chattering little beasts

WILL NOT DlSBAND.
We Expect to Head the List Mt the
End Ofthc Season,


The report that the Carbondale base
ball team will disband Is entirely with
out foundation and the probabilities are
that we will have a club representing
this city throughout the season. York
disbanding will necessarily bring about
a new schedule. but IL we can help 1t
We do not intend to be thrown out Of the
league. OF course. II we are voted out
It cannot be helped. but it is thought
now that Shamokin and Hazleton will
combine and thus keep the number of
clubs even. This seems to be the only
way Of solving the question at present,
for we don't intend to get out.
= The people have gone too far In this
city to let the club go now, and it only
needs the carrying of a club through
safely this season to assure us a posi-
tion in the league next year. The direc-
tors have sent two men to Shamokin to
learn the true state of affairs.
