The Baby Had to Go, Too.

A man, o woman, and a baby-the
man and woman on tricycle. and
the baby sleeping in basket swung
from two arms in front of the ma
chine-were going up the west drive In
Central Park yesterday morning, says
the New York World. Several pack
ages were strapped to the machine
and the man and woman were dressed
as If for an outing. 1t was quite
early, not yet O'Clock, as they came
up Eighth avenue and entered the
park at 59th street. The few people
who were on the street turned to
gaze at the queer outfit, and smiled
as they caught sight of the infant In
its swinging basket. Above the
basket was. a canopy like that of a
baby carriage. At the entrance to
the park the man stopped to tighten
the straps on a package. He was a
sun-burnt, athletic-looking young fell
low with pleasant gray eyes and q
full dark beard. His wife, who sat
behind him, looked pale and thin and
was dressed in blue flannel. "Yes,
ne SalQ, IN answer 10 an inquiry, Il
had this machine made to order.
My wife's health has not been good
lately and we decided to take our va
cation in this way, and" turning to
his wife with a smile, "of course we
couldn't leave the youngster behind.
Wife said he would have to go too, SO
l had the basket rugged up for him.
No, we shall not camp out. We ex-
pect to travel morning and evenings
and rest In the middle of the day
when it is hot, and at night we shall
put up at some farm house or country
hotel. We expect to be gone about
two weeks, and have no particular des-
tination, but shall travel about in q
leasurely sort of q way and try to get
back my wife's health. Name? Oh,
no, never mind that; but don't you
think 1t Is good idea?"

St. Augustine, Fla, June 16.-While Lieut.. William W. Hart, engineer officer in charge of the work of placing mines at the mouth of St. Johns river was, dic- tating letter in the mining room office, J. J. O'Rourke, employed as an expert electrician, unaccountably connected the battery wire with the firing plug instead of testing the plug, causing a terrific ex- plosion. O'Rourke was killed instantly and his assistant, Houstan, torn to pieces. Lieut.. Hart was struck in the back and head with pieces of torpedo and was injured severely. MT.

s2O,oOO FOR LOBBYING.
Col. Ayres' Suit Against the Heirs of
 the Mister Brothers.

Philadelphia, June 16--The operations of Col Edward w. Ayres of Washington, D. C., newspaper correspondent ana "claim collector" to bring about change in the location of the new United States Mint structure in Philadelphia, are again aired in the Orphans Court here. Col. Ayres is suing the estates of Richard and Lewis Mister for balance of $2O 900 for his services in preventing a government condemnation of their pro Derty at Broad and Cherry streets, in 1893. which at that time had been selected by the Treasury Department as the pros pective site of the new mint. The ground was liberally appraised at s24O,- GOO.
 The Mister brothers, who died a year after within a month of each other, at a cottage at Atlantic City, were two of the most eccentric real estate owners in Philadelphia. They were bachelors ana were popularly rated as fabulously wealthy, much more so than the settle ment of their estates by the local courts has since disclosed. They could never be tempted by any offer to part with their holdings of real estate. Many tracts of land and available building sites in Philadelphia, of which they held the title, were boarded up and remained steady barrier to improvement. The only titles that passed from them for years were taken by public condemnation
 When the Treasury Department fixed upon the Board and Cherry streets site, the Mister brothers protested. Through a well-known cigar dealer in this city. the influence of Col Ayres of Washing ton was enlisted in their fight. He se- cured what is described in the testimony as "a preliminary payment of $5,000.' to get to work and defeat the proposed mint site in favor of another one upon which the work of erecting the new mint is now in progress. The task having been successful, Colonel Ayres is suing for an additional claim of S20,0O0 against the Mister estates, which he said was to have been paid to him under an agree ment.
 Papers and correspondence in support of the alleged agreement were produced

NORMAL COMMENCEMENT.
The Browning Event of a Year {: Study.

Fifteen hundred people witnessed the commencement exercises at the terri torial normal school last night. It was an outdoor affair. There was a large rostrum erected against the rear of the new normal building which act ed as splendid sounding board, mak- ing it very easy for the solid mass oi humanity between the new and old buildings to hear. Japanese lanterns \ were hung around the campus and on the buildings. The rostrum was as pretty as a picture and like a picture framed when the graduating class of sixteen were seated. A chair was dec oreted with the stars and stripes in honor Of Wesley Hill, who perhaps at this time Is in Cuba with the Arizona Rough Riders
 The programme opened with an in vocation by Rev. Daniel Kloss of Tempe, which was followed by music by the normal Glee club.
 The first effort of any of the class was that of Walter H. Wilbur, presi dent of his class. The subject of his oration was American Freedom" He told Of the rise and growth of Ameri- can liberty.
 "A Divided Responsibility" was the subject of an essay read by Charlotte E. Perry She ably demonstrated where the responsibility lay in the bringing up of a child. She showed clearly that the home and school should cooperate.
 "The Revel of the Naiads," by nine young ladies of the physical culture class, was an exceedingly pretty ser ies of phantasma and won continual applause and an encore from the audi ence.
 President M M. Parker of the terri torial university then delivered an ad- dress to the graduates. He said he felt like cat in a strange garret be- cause of the presence of official dig nifty and the beauty and chivalry Of the class. He referred to the magnifi- cence of the Salt River valley and then launched out on the subject of education.
 An address by Governor McCord fol- lowed the singing of "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground"
 Dr. McNaughton then presented the class for graduation in brief address, in which he told what the class had done to win their diplomas.
 Col 0. W. Johnstone in accepting the class paid fitting compliment to it, saying it was the brightest he had ever seen.

BIG APE FROM BORNEo..
Nearly Six Feet Tall and Has Reach
 Longer Than .Lanky Bob's.


 New York, June 16-The wild ape o1 Borneo has just come to town. He did not come in the cabin or the steerage but in a plain. slated box on the main deck of the British tramp steamship Be nalder, which arrived yesterday from Japanese, Chinese and East Indian ports. He was not designated on the ships manifest. except as one of a trio or ou- rang-outangs, the youngest of which, mere infant, died just as the ship was Cap. J. D. Sarchet. and his officers called the big anthropoid "Rube," chiefly be- cause he has long. chin whickers and guileless, suburban countenance about a foot and half wide and nearly of the same depth.
 Rube was accompanied on his long trip by seven pythons, also from Borneo, which. if placed end to end. would cover. nneally, 126 feet. When the voyage be- gan there were 152 feet of python, but succumbed to the changes of tempera- ture incidental to long sea voyage and were cast respectively into the Indian ocean and the Mediterranean sea.
 Rube's travelling companions of his own kind consisted originally of big male and his mate the baby that died yesterday, and an unmated female, but only Rube and the unmated one surviv- ed the voyage. He Is somewhat feeble from seasickness, but she is all right. HC dpc6 WCA0 OdpluIcQ oOIucO Oy Q party headed by Dr. Furness of the Zo- ological Gardens at Philadelphia, who have been in Borneo about a year. Rube is one of the biggest, If not the biggest, anthropoids ever captured. Standing up right he is five feet eleven inches tall. His arms are surprisingly long, measur- ing, when extended from tep to tip of the middle fingers, seven feet eleven inches Rube's female companion is covered with red hair. and is not a bit handsomer than Rube, whose expression Is not in- tellectual from human standpoint, how ever attractive hA may apear in anthro- poid circles.
 Among the other passengers on the Benalder were twenty-eight monkeys, in ciuding pink-faced, dog-faced and ring tailed varieties. The ring-tails were per mitted to roam about the ship at will and made the life of the Chinese cook, Chang somewhat of burden. They lay in wait for him at the door of the galley and stole the food as he came out with it. Sometimes they merely took the food, and at other times the plates also. They scrambled up the rigging with the plates and when the cook was not looking they threw the china on his head, making ac- companying remarks in their peculiar dialect The skipper thinks that the ten- or of their chatter may have been Chi na for the Chinese" or something simi- lar. e..
 The 126 feet of python belong to the skipper; also the monkeys and seven crowned ground pheasants and two cas- sowaries.

WASHINGTON, Feb. eat was stated
yesterday that it will be the policy of
the house leaders to prevent, as far as
possible, auy agitation of matters re-
lating to Cuba or the Maine disaster in
the immediate future. Pending the
result of the official investigation,
they believe it is wise and the part of
good policy to maintain silence. AS
Chairman Hit, of the foreign affairs
committee, is confined to his home by
a bad cold, it is probable that no
meetings of that committee will be
held until he returns to his seat
in the house 1t is understood
that the report of the state de-
partment to be made in answer
to the house resolution of inquiry re-
garding the situation in Cuba will not
be made for week or ten days. 1t is
explained that the work of preparing
the consular reports, which will be
transmitted, will require considerable
time. Besides, these reports, it is
stated must be scanned by Assistant
Secretary Day in person, and the de-
mands upon his time at present are
very great, and he has httle'leisure to
give to this work. Members of the
cabinet are expressing the fear that
the revelations may precipitate crisis.
