The picture of one OF these s.de-whiSkercd

existing is; that is. it is not so high an
art. The man who seems to live, while
in reality he only exists, is an artist who
really ought to be sufficiently wen off
to live.
The art of living is simple enough if you
have an income and can keep a length
ahead of your expenses. The hardest and
most uphill art OF living is the art OF
making a living and not living beyond it.

This departure should mean much for the
future of the monkey, not only in inte.
lectual development, but in politics, in
which field he may become an important
factor when he has become educated to
the point at which the right OF suffrage
cannot be denied him. In a short time
there may be more monkeys in positions of
public trust than there are at present.
The monkey is today learning to read
with big lettered blocks. From this small
beginning it is difficult to say Just how
rapidly he will progress, but it is fair to
assume that his education will shortly
become fad here, ard that wealthy So
cety women will couutenance the move

the leading cities, even if they have to i'm
port the monkeys TO educate, until they,

and Edgar Gardner, who were arrested late
last night at Girard, Pa, on the charge OF
poisoning the womans husband, Peter Me-
lis. had hearing to-day. when both pleaded
not guilty. Mrs. Nellis is said to have been
under the influence of Gardner, who is
alleged spiritualist medium. Letters are in
the possession of county detective Sullivan

lieves will connect the former with the case
Indirectly at least. Gardner is said to have
been predicting there would be a case Of
poisoning in Girard within two years. Last
summer he sent word to Mrs. Nellis that
the spirits directed her to go to Cassadaga
and occupy cottage there. She went, and
is said TO have entertained the medium as
well as her husband there for a long time
at cost of several hundred dollars. Card
ner is, also said to have told Mrs. Nellis
that in order to get closer relations with
the spirits she must buy two diamond rings,
presenting one to him and wearing the other

notice of his intention to ask the Senate to

are, however, some indications that objec-
ton may be raised by some of the anti
silver Democrats. Senators Villas ana Hill
to-day intimated that they might interpose
opposition to the agreement. There has
been considerable effort TO prevail on them
to desist in this course, but the friends of
the bill did not feel assured of success
in this direction when the Senate adjourned
to-day. The anti-silver Republicans gener-
ally say they will make no objection to the
vote being taken at the time suggested.
The reason for the objection made by Sena-
tor Allen Friday developed to-day

THOSE STOLEN ANTIQUES.
Arrest of Two Men on the Charge of
DesnolIing n Valuable Collection.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Some of the an
tiques stolen out of the Seschille collection
on Saturday night and the two men who
are suspected of stealing them. were on
exhibition in the detective bureau at police
headquarters to-day. The prisoners are
Ewal1 Schmolz and Charles Lefebre.
Schmolz is a nephew of Richard Seschille,
a colonel in the German army, who owns
the collection. Lefebre is a saloon keeper.
Young Schmolz was cadet in a military
academy but he did not do very well there,
so he was taken out and sent to America
His uncle had sent his valuable collection OF
antiques here TO be sold by DR.. Ulrich Vain,
an expert who had shown it at the worlds S
fair and other places and finally lodged
il in East Thirteth street. When Seschiile'S
nephew got here he was made watchman
under DR.. jain and Charles Merninghoff.
Schmolz slept in room over what was
called the gold room, and he was not sup
posed to leave the house without the ex-
press permission Of DR.. jain or Mr. Wern-
inghoff. DIR. jain sailed for Germany a
few weeks ago and his assistant was in
charge.

"OficiaI" Account of Battle That

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The Spanish
minister has informed the State Depart
ment that last Friday night the steamer
J. w. Hawkins left New York with an
expedition of $50 men, arms and ammuni
ton and stores, in command of Calixto
Garcia; that she may go south and take
more men and arms at Palm Beach, Fla,
or elsewhere: that she will pass in the United
States waters near Key West; that the
arms and ammunition confscated at Cedar
KEYS. Fla, are ready to be embarked on
a schooner to join the Garcia expedition at
sea, and that the steamer Commodore. at
Wilmington, N. c., still in port, is in the
conspiracy The Secretary of the Treasury
has telegraphed this statement to all col
lectors Of customs along the south Atlantic
coast, with instructions to consult United
States attorneys and take whatever action
may be found necessary to prevent any
violation OIL international law. Captain
Shoemaker, of the revenue cutter service,
will also give the necessary instructions
to commanders of revenue cutters and
every precaution will be taken to inter-
cept the Hawkins.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va. says: ''The
cruiser Montgomery, of Admiral Bunce's
feet lying in Hampton Roads, passed out
the capes at 1890 o'clock last night. She
was followed by the Raleigh, which left
at 1906 o'clock" From the fact that some
OF the officers of the cruisers have not
yet joined their ships, 1t is evident that
the outside cruise will not be of long dura-
ton and therefore it is surmised here that
the purpose of the Navy Department is
to use the Montgomery and the Raleigh
to lie in wait off the Virginia capes to
pick up the Hawkins, with the party Of
alleged filibusters under Garcia aboard and
place the ship under detention and the
party under arrest for violation of the
neutrality laws.
