HAM. JR.. AT THE EXPO.
Educated Durango utang Holds Reception
For Medicine Men and Reporters.
l. Uncle Nat Puzzled Over
New Annex on the

Esplanade.
Philadelphia, Nov. Ham, Jr., an
educated ourang outang. arrived in
Philadelphia Sunday morning, having
made the trip direct and unbroken
from San Francisco. He alighted from
the train In dignified silence, gave but
a casual glance at the crowd which
had assembled to greet him and ac-
companied the reception committee to
the Hagenback establishment on the
exposition esplanade There he gave a
brief audience to some of his human
friends and few of his animal ac-
quaintances. particularly Mr.. and Mrs.
Rooney of the monkey contingent, and
asked about baby Rooney, of whose
birth he had received information just
prior to leaving San Francisco. After
bath and breakfast he mutely re-
quested that he be permitted to sleep
off his travel worn feeling, and at
once retired to the privacy of the
quarters that had been prepared for
him
Just after he had retired. The vener-
able Uncle Nat" of the "Old Planta-
tion," was by special permission ad-
mitted to his presence and there en-
sued conference of a pair of phil
osphers of the old school. When Uncle
Nat" departed he showed that he was
deeply impressed and soon afterwards
on the esplanade the following colloQuy
was overheard: Hello! Uncle Nat,
how are your" "Well, boss, dunno,
for has just seed somethin' the like
of which l never seen a'fore, but tell
you. boss, he's folks, part white and
part black; but he's folks sho's you
born" What kind of folks, Uncle
Nat?" Dat dunno, but he's folks"
The following day Ham, Jr. held a
reception in the parlor of Green's hotel.
at which were present invited guests
from the medical profession and news
paper circles. He was perfectly at
home with his guests and emphasized
the fact that he is the most unguess-
able conundrum of the age The affair,
which was conducted by Mr.. Louis J..
Beck, of the Hagenback management,
was of highly entertaining, interesting
and scientific character Among those
present were Director Montgomery
Biggs, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania; DR.. Condory, of San Francisco;
DR.. F. P. Vose. of Chicago, and Drs
Vessels and Hedding, of Philadelphia.
These physicians examined Ham, Jr,
closely, and demonstrated in a most
interesting way his human anatomy
and characteristics. From the hotel he
returned to the exposition grounds,
where he may be seen at Hagenback's
until the close of the exposition.

The farmers institute which was
held at Pollock on the 7th inst. was
called to order at IL q. M, with an
attendance ofabout seventy five farm

with their families prepared for enter

by Mayor W. P. Guynes, who welcom-

was responded to by the institute
conductor, Col. Chas. Schiller, who
favored the audience with an inter-

discussing what to raise, fertilization

home attractive and full OF pleasure.
Following this was an address on

The School Fund Shortage.

In the report of the school board
proceedings, which we published last
week, will be found the report of the
committee appointed to examine the
books and reports of Mr.. j. E. Dunn
treasurer of the school funds. The
committee has discovered and point.
ed out several glaring errors and i'm
proper entries, amounting in all to
$S41 40, which the treasurer has been
instructed to place to the credit OF
the school fund.
The schools have been deprived of
the use OF the greater part of the
$S4l 40 referred to for about two
years by Mr.. Dunn's failure to per.
form his duty, and, whether it be the
result OF ignorance or Indifference to
the public interest, he is alike respon-
sibleand culpable. Heis particularly
blameable, for the reason that he has
arrogated to himself the right to
harshly criticise his predecessors for
improprieties that he could not point
out, although he tried hard to do so.
