resenting a river would be seen one

Eso.plnr the Duty OF rhe xsw DInrl-y

Escaping the Duty of xhe xsm DIngl~y
Law.
a number Of monkeys has recently
been seen running al large in the
marshes along the Delaware ana
Schuylkill river. in the vicinity Of Cir
ard Point and Psizs Breeze. with the
result that not only has the novel cir
cumstauce greatly excited the resi-
dents Of the neighborhood, many Of the
younger ones having taken to monkey
hunting, but the special treasury
agents have started an investigation TO
discover the cause Of the unusual pres
ence Of the simians. says the PhiIadel-
phia Record. The new Dingley tar
Ii Law imposes duty Of 20 per
cent on all such animals, and the
treasury officials are of the opinion
that the monkeys escaped from small
boats as they were being landed sur
reptiuously AZ night During the last
month a number Of vessels have ar
rived Al both Girard Point and Point
Breeze from the Philippine islands and
Java, bringing not only monkeys and
deer, but large collections Of parrots
and other rare birds. In every case the
masters Of the vessels were notified on
their arrival that both the monkeys
and birds were dutiabie and that per-
mits from the custom house would be
necessary before they could be brought
ashore.
Several Of the monkeys have been
seen during the present week. They
were hiding in the marshes opposite
Girard point and appeared TO be weak
from hunger and exposure during the
recent rains. Chief Officer Rogers Of
the British steamship whitefield,
which is loading at Girard point caught
large one. which had evidently come
from Java, and proposes taking 1t with
him as pet
1t is common practice among SAIL
OTIS to have monkeys and parrots as
pets. and one of the theories of those
familiar with the circumstances is that
the animals escaped from their own
ers and wandered of or that the sail
ors, becoming tired Of the bother and
expense Of keeping the pets, had re-
leased them and turned them loose into
the marshes.
The customs officials have recently
seized several lots of these animals
which we're being struggled into the
country, and they are determined, IL
possible. TO find out how the foreign
wanderers get into the Philadelphia
marshes.

HIS Mouth wa. saved.

The political orator dragged himself
ont of the railway wreck and took ac-
count Of the damages. One foot was
twisted out Of shape. something was
the matter with his right hip, his left
elbow refused TO work, one of his
shoulder blades appeared to have slip
ped over the other, his left knee was
bruised and swollen and part of his
scalp was gone. He emitted a loud
groan- Then his face frightened.

TWO DEAD, TWO DYING.
Bloody Work of a Farm Hand Who Is
Thought to Re InsaEe - The
Murderer's Escape.

Milwaukee, May S.-A double
and what may yet prove quad
ruple murder occurred at the
farmhouse Of Alexander Harris,
who resided about five miles
south of Waukesha, at an early
hour this morning, the victims
being Mr.. Harris, his wife,
hired girl and hired man.
The crime was committed, it
is supposed, by a farm hand
named William Pouch, who
had been sheltered by the
farmer over night.
The dead and wounded are:
Alexander Harris, aged about
IS, killed outright; Mrs. Harris,
aged A, killed; hired girl, fa-
tally wounded; hired man, fa-
tally wounded.
Inc man IS InOuSnU 10 Oe IN
sane, although the house was
robbed.
After finishing his bloody
work the murderer mounted a
bicycle and rode away. He
started in a southwesterly di-
rection over the Mukowan road,
and the supposition is that he
has headed for Burlington. 4
posse of farmers is in hot pur-
suit and the chances are that
he will be captured. TT pur-
suers openly vow that they will
lynch the murderer.

Denison, Tex, May S.-Par-
ties from the Indian Territory
express the opinion that Coy.
Harris will call a special ses-
sion of the Chickasaw legisla-
ture the latter part of this
month for the consideration of
the treaty between the Dawes
commission and the Choctaw
and Chickasaw commissioners.
The Indians generally, so far
as can be learned, are in favor
of the adoption OF the treaty.
1t may be that Gov. Harris
will wait until later in the sea-
son, to observe the action of
congress III regard to the treaty
before he calls his legislature
together to consider it.
