How Rubc. the Giant Orang-outanS
Counarcs with John l.. sullivan


The biggest orang-outang ever IN cap
fiyity. the most wonderful ape ever seen
by civilized man. has just been brought
to this country
lie is now i'm tho Philadelphia Ioologi-
cal Gardens. "Rube' BIS the name they
bavo given him IN philadelphia, on ac-
count ~ the length Of his whiskers ana
other features supposed 10 Doe peculiar
fo the inhabitants Of remote country dis
.rcts.
Imse's size = -normous and astonish-
ing. ID is convenient 10 compare him
with John L. Sullivan, who is TO most
Americans an ideal Of wcll-grOwn
man.
Rubo stands feet II ihohos I'm his
bare feet John l.. sullivan IS only 8
feet. 1912 inches.
Ruhe measures eight feet from tip 20
ip of his outstrctchod arms. John i.
SulIiyan's measurement is only six feet
and one inch.
Rubo weighs 2o0 pounds. John l. Sui
lvan. I'm his best condition, weighed only
l3D pounds
These measurements are 10 n certain
extent deceptive Rubo Is little bigger
than Sullivan. but his strength is meal
culabiy greater. a dozen Sullivans could
not knock him out with heir bare hands.
Give Rube a good. solid hold for his
hands or feet and he can pull 100 men 20
him. Probably Sullivan could pull three.
10 Is not alone as q creature Of size and
strength that Eubo SIS interesting. He
IS one Of a rare race that Is fast disap-
poaring from the earth. He is one Of
the nearest relatives Of man among the
beasts.
Rube came 10 the United States on the
British steamer Ben Alder, which sailed
from Singapore on April 18th. Her voy-
age occupied forty-fve days She brought
her cargo TO Piorrepont stores. I'm Brook
lvn. where she arrived a week ago. The
cargo included RUDE and three Of his
family. dozens Of common monkeys, and
large assortment OF pythons and Wild
animals from southeastern Asia.
Rube is fearfully human in appearance.
IIo resembles an unspeakaby Jgly man.
His age is estimated nj thirty. it is said
that the orang-outang IS full grown AZ
twenty. and that under favorable cir
cumstanccs he may live 10 be 100. Scien-
tidc observers believe that Rubes intel
lectual capacity is far superior 10 that Of
the ilustrious gorilla Crowley and the
famed chimpanzee Johanna. The prob
lem IS 10 induce him to exhibit a little
OF his capacity. Philadelphia Record.

THE PENSION FRAUD

I'm view cf existing conditions IL
may be gratifying to the people of
tins country 20 learn that the army
OF pensioners has reached nearly H.
OOO.OuO and stil the applications
roll 10. From a recent Washington
dispatch il is shown.
"In sending TO congress a dehcien-
cy estimate Of ss, O7O, ,572 for pen-
sions for this year, Secretary Bliss
makes an interesting statement on
the general subject Of pensions up
10 date. In this connection the APP
pended table showing the number
of pensioners on the ROLAND the
value of the roll annually since 1857
is significant. From this it appears
that the pension roll has substau-
TALLY doubled since a quarter of a
century after the close Of the war.
In 1890, twenty-five years after the
war closed, the number of pensions
ers on the roll was j379H At the
close Of the current fiscal year the
number on the roll viii approximate
996 600, an increase of nearly 80 per
cent since 1890. In that time the
value Of the roll has increased from
$72. .O56. 1919 in 1890, to approx.
mately Sl42, 100000 in the present
fiscal year,
"The roll is now larger than
any former time, Notwithstanding
that thirty-three years have elapsed
since the cessation of hostiIities. 1t
contained about $500 more pension
ers in 1897 than it did in 1896 and
approximately 10000 more in 1898
than in 1897, and the value of the
roll has also increased in the same
period.
If this thing continues the United
States will eventually possess a pau
per pension army, of those who had
no connection with the war, of such
proportions that the resources of
the country will be unable to main
tain them. What a burning shame
and disgrace on the honor and hon
esty of the American government.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is caused by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbHug sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an iniamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

A GOOD FIGHTER.

Gen. Miles, who will have COM
mand of the army Of the United
States in its war against Spain, has
a fine military record. With the
single exception of Gettysburg,
Gen, Miles participated in every
battle of the army of the Potomac
from Yorktown to the surrender at
Appomattox court house, From
September, 1862, until the close of
the war he commanded in battle his
regiment, brigade, division, and for
a short time the army corps to
which he belonged, having been
wounded four times. He was per-
baps engaged in more hard-fought
battles than any other general Off
Ger of the army, including thirty
five distinct battles, and over one
hundred serious affairs in which ar
tilery, cavalry and infantry were
engaged.-Arkansas Gazette.
