MONKEY HUNT ON BROADWAY.

Gotham Turns Out to Chase an Es-
capped Simian.
From the New York Herald.
1t isn't often one gets a chance to see
monkey hunt on Broadway. One
usually associates such sport with palm
trees and tangled Jungles and the 9TH
er accessories Of a tropical scene. But
nearly 1000 persons witnessed mon
Key chase in Broadway last evening.
TO be exact, it wasn't right in Broad
Way-just around the corner in Forty
nth street. The monkey was one Of
those used to add life to the decorations
OF the Olympia roof garden. Having
formed a close attachment for Mr..
Hammerstein, the monkey, fearing pos
sioiy he might be compelled to work
1or MI freedman, should that gentle
man as receiver succeed in his efforts
to GUST Mr.. Hammerstein, made a bold
Dash for liberty about six o'clock last
evening. At least that was when his
escape was discovered, and immediate
Iy there was great hue and cry.
"A little later small boy rushed
preathlessly into the lobby and an
nounced that the monk" was doing
stunts on the fire escape on the Forty
fifth street side Of the building. Sew
eral able-bodied men, employees Of the
threater, hurried forth to capture him.
They found a small crowd Of boys
watching the little animals antics, and
g few minutes later the chase began.
Forty-ffth street was literally packed
with men, women. children and bicy-
cles.
The head usher said he knew the
monkey and he'd go up and get him.
That was lots more easily said than
done, though. For the monkey evident
~ didn't intend to be captured He
d1sclaimed all acquaintanceship with
the head usher, or anybody else UP
one stairs and down another he ran,
until everybody was out Of breath, and
then he took up seat on the sheet
iron roof Of the fire escape and grinned
and chartered trlumphantly while the
crowd In the street cheered him Justify.
Every effort was made to dislodge
him. One man even proposed to beat
him into insensfbility with club, but
the monkey was too quick for him. At
last-it was 1880 then, and he had kept
his would-be captors at bay more than
an hour-he lost his hold on the steep
roof and slid clear down into the street,
where two policemen were waiting for
him. Mr.. Monkey had no idea of be-
ing arrested, however, and up another
fire escape he fled straight into the
arms Of the head usher, who grabbed
him by the neck and held him fast
Then the tickle spectators cheered the
usher and dispersed. A new chain was
fastened to the monkey, and he grin
ned and chartered as usual in the roof
garden last night.

NAL developments, rather than from
any other points, provided its pedigree
was satisfactory.
1T is questioned whether a dog can
reason and understand speech. Lady
Trevelyan's Skye terrier Peter demon
strated that they can, to my satisfac-
ton at least. Dogs are also able to
show human thoughtfulness In the
form of reminding their masters Of
things they have forgotten uninten-
tionally. One day when Lady Trevelyan
was about to take a carriage drive
Peter was to be her companion, but he
hesitated In getting into the carriage,
at which Lady Trevelyan wondered.
Presently he ran off into the house.
She asked him what was wrong, and
he brought back from the lobby one Of
her overshoes, and then went back for
the other She had forgotten to put
them on, when they and the chair

HORSE DIED OF GRIEF.
Left Behind a Caravan, 1t Could Not
Bear the Pang of Separation.

From the Washington Star.
Speaking of the emotional life of
horse, said an old trainer, who had
been listening to a story about an ami
mails death that was directly traced to
grief, II recall one remarkable instance
OF sorrow shown by a horse belonging
to g circus with which 1 was travel
ing three years ago. We were perform
ing in the little town of Unionvile, Pa,
when one of the trick horses fell and
sprained one Of his legs so badly that
he could not travel. He was taken to
livery stable and put in a box stall.
the leg was bandaged, and he was
made as comfortable as possible
He ate his food and was apparently
contented until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out of town.
Then he became restless and stamped
and whinnied. AS the caravans moved
past the stable he seemed to realize
that he was being deserted, and his
anxiety and distress became pitiful. He
would stand with his ears pricked in
an attitude of intense listening, and
then as his ears caught the sound OF
the retiring wagons he would rush as
best he could with his injured leg from
one side Of the stall to the other, push

Some canary birds can be bought for
as little as twenty-five cents each.
These are small, young birds, which
have not yet begun to sing, but may
turn out to be good singers. A wooden
cage may be bought for ten cents, or
small wire cage for the same price, so
that it is possible to get a bird in
cage very cheap.
Half-grown rabbits may be bought
for fifty cents each. Rabbits cost frora

can be bought for fifty cents each.
Mexican squirrels cost 81 and S150 Kit
tens of imported stock may be bought
for fifty cents each. Fine cats run up

Dun horses are somewhat rare, but
when they can be picked up 1 would
advise that they be bought, especially
when the question Of wear and tear is
considered. They are, as said before,
not strong as far as looks are involved,

The Senate committee on naval affairs
had under consideration today the resolu-

a vote of to ) 10 postpone action for the

This action was preceded by a sharp ex-
change of words between the advocates of

active investigation should be deferred in
order to permit the administration full OPP
portunity to press its own investigation
through the naval board of inquiry. After
the decision was reached not to go on with

witnesses, it was suggested that steps
