which has been known to scholars even
longer than the Acts of Paul and The
ella. 1t consists of a couple of letters
!! the first from the Corinthian church to
Paul, and the other his answer. The
theory, advocated some years ago by
Professor Zahn, that they were an ex-
tract from the Acts of Paul, is now con-
firmed by this discovery of them as an
integral part of the Coptic text
The concluding portion of the book
tells of Paul's return to Rome-most
likely from Spain-and his decapitation
at Nero's command. 1.-The story implies
a release of Paul from his first imprs-
onment and a further missionary jour-
ney; and this, together with the fact
and manner of his martyrdom, is in all
likelihood HISTORICAL The writer of
1.-The Acts of Paul the Apostle if Ter
tullians testimony is to be accepted,
was not the champion of some heretical
view, as the authors of the Apochry

"Biblia" states that 'the net gains to

International Beauty Show.

II is rather an unusual announce
ment which comes from Paris in regard
to the International Beauty Show to
be held there during the latter part of
March. 1t is said that a number of
American women enjoying a social po-
sition in the French Capital will enter
the competition for the 81 900 prize.
Beauty shows have been held in many
large cities, but they have not included
American society women among the
car didates for the prize. Gable dis
patches state that Mrs. George Law
of New York and Mrs. Collins of Bos-
ton have already decided to enter, and
that other American women may follow
their example. Sarah Bernhard is to
be the President of the jury. She seems
to think that the entrance Of women of
fashion may discourage other candi-
dates, for she assures the latter that
"a peasant girl will have the same
chance as a patrician of winning the
5,OOO-francs prize" The jury will in
clude painters, sculptors, poets and
dress esigners-Harper's Weekly.

Monkey Music.

In the recollections of Fifty Years
With Menagerie," by the late Dan
Rice, published in the February I'd and
9th issues of the youths Companion"
occurs this story:
ut may surprise many persons to
learn that monkeys, despite their clev-
to the influences of higher education
for infinite is their innate depravity
1 found them ready enough to learn
but persistent in refusal to display their
knowledge when required to do so by
their patient teacher. This peculiar
side of monkey nature was forcibly i'm
pressed on me when tried to form an
orchestra, or string band, among the
simians of my menagerie.
I'VE were in winter quarters, and as
it was my custom to devote m yspare
time during the cold term to tanning
and training wild animals for the next
season, had a family of monkeys con-
fined in an apartment adjoining my
reading, smoking and music room.
"One morning upon nearing the cot
tage my ears We're greeted by the sound
of my cello. I paused wondering what
visitor had provoked my rich-toned IN
strument to such unseemly discord
Then 1 approached closely, and through
window saw laughable scene.
Seated upon chair with smoking
cap ON mis- head, spectacles on his nose,
and meerschaum pipe in his mouth, was

erie, saving away at the cello, with

room, and that accounted for the IN

little monkey, who notified its fellows
of my presence with a sharp cry In

Trunks That Come in

The purpose of this notice is to announce the
arrival of stock of trunks that is decidedly out OF
the ordinary. The trunks came to in a tull car

An AIRED Royal Parrot.

One of the longest-lived birds on record
died recently in London. 1t was a par
rot named Ducky and it's age was put
at more than 125 years. Ducky was a ma
tive of the United States of Colombia,
whence he was transported to England
in 1888 and bought by. Prime Minister
Pitt, who in 1900, presented him to his
master, George III. From this date on
the bird was recognized as part of the
James Ducky, however, developed amaz-
ing conversational powers, unaccompan-
led with the power leaven of discretion,
and in 1850 he was sentenced to banish-
ment from st. James on the. charge, 1t IS
said of divulging family secrets.
In his new dwelling place. Windsor Cas-
lie, Ducky acquired even worse habits.
Windsor accommodates a small garrison,
and the parrot was quick to acquire the
vernacular of Tommy Atkins: The result
was considered unsuitable to the we'll
known deeorum of the British court and
sentence of banishment to Australia WAS
passed on the offender The aniable
Princess of Wales however. came to the
rescue and Ducky was removed to Sand
ringhafn where he remained until the day
of his death.
Great age though it be. 125 years is not
considered by scientific men as the abso-
lutte age limit of a parrot So reliable an
observer as Humboldt, whose statement
lion by Darwin, tells of parrot THAT
must have lived 200 years. The nations
alist came across the bird in South Amer
lea ana his reasons for craditing ii With
such extraordinary longevity were that he
heard Ii use some words of a langua ge
spolSen only by a tribe OF Indians which
had been extinct more than 200 years.

BRISK FENCE WAR;
Neighbors Object to Mr..
Lawless' Revenge--Pull
Up the Spikes.

A fierce war is raging on Third street,
between the residents and John L. Law
less, who owns the vacant lot at NO.
1S4 Third street, in front of which has
been erected an unsightly fence. Several
months ago Mr.. Lawless petitioned the
Board of Aldermen for permission to
erect frame building on the property.
The neighbors, thinking that the struc-
ture was going to be used as an addition
to the Belle Meade Stables for the stor-
age of wagons, sent a protest to Mayor
Hoos, who vetoed the resolution passed
by the Board of Aldermen granting the
requested permission
The building Of the frame stable was
defeated and the matter forgotten until
yesterday morning when the residents
saw the unsightly fence that had, been
erected in the night. A murmur of dis
approval Immediately went the rounds and
several even threatened to pYithe struc-
ture down.
No action was taken until about one
o'clock this morning, when three men,
armed with crowbars, appeared on the
scene and proceeded as noiseessly as pos
sible to raze the fence. They found the
task hard one as spikes nearly six

After an hours hard work, when only
seven or eight boards had been removed,
the men were evidently frightened away
by the appearance of Reardon's milk
wagon drivers, who were about to start
off on their morning delivery.
This morning a News" reporter, visit
ed the home of former City Treasurer
Patrick H Nugent, who lives in the
house adjoining the property. Mr. Nu-
gent seemed greatly put out at the sight
of the fence that had shut off all view
of Grove street from his home. Mr..
Nugent threatens that unless the
obstacle which is built out to the fence
line is removed he will appeal to the
authorities and have the. owner compelled
to tear it down.
number of wagons could be seen
on the property through the opening in
the fence.
Mr. Lawless was not at his office when
the reoprter called this morning.

cratic candidateI for Alderman. One of
the stories in circulation is that Mr.. Rit-
ter is Socialist. AS a matter of fact he
has been nothing but Democrat since
he entered politics about twenty-five years
ago.
The story probably originated in the fact
that Mr. Ritter has always been endorsed
by the Labor party, to which he was al
ways friendly. 1t will again give him its
| loyal support
Mr.. Ritter has held many offices in his
political life, and he has always acquit-
ted himself creditably. His success this
time is certainty. The Democrats of the
ward will work hard to roll up a large
majority.
The Grant Association seems afraid OF
the new Republican club, organized Mon
day night by the dissenting faction of the
Grant Association and few others. The
following resolutions were passed at a
meeting of the association held last even
ing
.'Whereas, 1t is currently reported that
there are some local differences manifest
ed in party circles of the Fifth and Sixth
precincts of the Seventh ward; therefore
be it
~
be appointed by the President to inves-
tigate the truth thereof, and should any
difference or dissatisfaction be found, that
said committee hear such differences, with
a view to cementing party lines, whereby
harmony may exist to the interest and
benefit of the party; said committee to
submit report to the Campaign Commit
tee."
President Reed appointed the following
committee:-.Charles Heany, David Jones
and William Van Buskirk.
President Reed then delivered long ad-
dress In which he made a strong plea for
harmony. laying particular emphasis on
the fact that the ward is now Democratic
and that the Republicans can never win
with disruption in their ranks. He added
that he hoped the committee would be
successful in concentrating plans where
by an amicable settlement could be made
between the dissenting faction and the
Republican party.
Several speeches of the same tenor were
made by other members, who said they
feared the recently organized club would
prove detrimental to the interests OF the
Republican party in the ward.
The majority of the members are in
clned to think that the club was perfect
ed simply for the purpose of turning down
Alderman Fry, the new Republican leader
of the ward. Just what their grievances
are against the Alderman could not be
learned last night. 1t is thought. how
ever, that it is because of his action in
opposing the organization of new
club at a recent meeting of the ward
association. Mr.. Fry at that time said
that new club would injure the chances
of the party in the ward
1t was thought that the dissenters
might spring an opposition ticket at the
primaries last night. but there was no
trouble and the regular ticket went
through without a hitch, many of the
Burns people voting for it,
Interesting developments are looked for
in the ward this spring, and not few
clashes are expected.

FOUR FUNNY DRUNKs.
Varied Assortment of Jags All In
Court.

Justice Nevin, this morning, had four
peculiar drunks before him. The first
was Joseph Rice, 50 years old of No. 105
York street, who insisted upon being ar
rested. Patrolman Hawkins advised him
to so home, but he refused, and ne was
accommodated. He was fined So for the
accommodation received.
Thomas Mccarthy, Of No. ia East
Twenty-second street. Bayonne, amused
himself in Exchange place last night by
running in front of trolley cars and an
noying pedestrians in front of Taylor's $
Hotel His fun cost him $3.
Arthur Perry, of No 315 Sixth street,
got drunk and thought himself prize
fighter. He started to lick every one on
Coles street. He met Patrolman Glynn,
of the Second precinct, and tried to give
Glynn a fight. He was locked up and was
fined So this morning.
Jacob Young, who has no home at pres
ent, managed to accumulate a religious
jag. late last night and was picked up
by Patrolman Reilly, as he was on his
knees at the corner of Grove and Sixth
street, praying in a loud tone. He at
tracted quite a large crowd.
Young claimed to be waiter in Dem
nett's restaurant on Park Row, New
York. He told the court he was crazy
drunk last night and did not know what
he was doing. The court promptly inn
posed a fine of So upon him.

SALVATION LAsslE IN COURT.
Complained Of a Deceitful Man
Who Went on Spree.

A pretty Salvation Army lassie ap-
peared before Recorder Stanton in Ho-
boken this morning and complained
against man named John Beberdick.
The young woman is a member of the
German branch of the Salvation Army
and she required the services OF an in
terpreter.
From the story the young woman told
1t appeared that Beberdick, about two
weeks ago, attended an open air meeting
of the Army. He told the Army lassies
that he was impressed and expressed an
ardent desire to be saved He said that
he had been on a protracted spree and
that he had pawned all his carpenter
TOOLS
On his representation the young woman
who appeared in court this morning went
to Pawnbroker David Mayors establish
ment and secured the release of the ools,
promising that she would pay for them in
time. Berberdick then went on another
protracted spree and has not been near
the Army barracks since.
Recorder Stanton said that he could
not accept criminal complaint He adj
vised the young woman to tell her story
to the pawnbroker, who probably would
relieve her of any obligation incurred by
Beberdick's conduct.

Railroad will Be able to get to or from

is said, will include seven trains each
