MONKEYS ON A RAMPAGE.
An Exciting Night Riot in the Shop
of IA Local Pet Fancfer

There was a monkey and a parrot time
In the store of Washington pet fancier
Friday night. A big Congo monkey called
Commodore, which is possessed Of more
that ordinary intelligence. unclasped the
spring lock OF his cage and escaped with
two female companions. They began to
vent their resentment against the parrots
in the store and settled a long standing
feud to the disadvantage of the latter. The
next morning the cages in which the par
rots were confined were scattered, twisted
out of shape, all over the shop. while the
floor was literally strewn with green
feathers. Twenty glass globes that had
contained gold fish were smashed and
about every small bird and animal in the
place suffered.
The monkeys ate most OF the gold fish
and then breaking open the cages contain
ing mocking birds. proceeded to make a
meal of these noisy warblers. There are
several cases in the store filled with gar
den seeds and bulbs OF valuable plants
They mixed up the seeds in such a way as
to make them valueless, and pelted the
other inmates Of the store with the bulbs.
The cage OF a big white cuckatoo was
thrown to the floor and the door knocked
open by the conclusion. The bird was
chased and caught by the monkeys, but
managed to escape with a few feathers.
ABOUT tne time tne eAciteIneHt III the
store was at its height the proprietor ar
rived on the scene and chased the mon
keys away from their victims.
1t took considerable strategy to capture
the three mischief makers. They were
finally cornered in back room from which
they were afraid to emerge because the
only means of escape was over the cage OF
boa constructor which had become
aroused by the noise and was in high
state of excitement. One of the female
monkeys was captured by means OF net
and chained to the cage which the three
had occupied. Her cries induced the gal
liant Commodore TO enter the cage and the
proprietor. by a quick movement, shut the
door When she found that her compan-
ions had been captured the other monkey
lost heart and was taken without diff

AN INTERESTING FAMILY.
4 Firm of Six Brothers That Has
AptIy Demonstrated the Axiom,
.In Union There Is Strength"

Among the thousands of people who pass
941 Pennsylvania Avenue every day and
admire the handsome suitings displayed in
the window OF the Six Little Tailors, prob
ably very few know the history OF this
firm or the magnitude Of its business AS
the name would suggest, 1t is composed OF
six brothers. who for twenty years and
more have worked harmoniously together
in a common cause, the object of which
was to build up the greatest merchant tai
loring business in America
The annual business of these stores is
enormous, and the large consumption OF
high-class woolens used in their suitings
enables this firm TO buy everywhere at low
est prices, and in many cases to control the
entire output of the mills. This accounts
for the fact that they can sell a suit of
clothes for $3.50 which would ordinarily
cost nearly twice as much elsewhere.
Their latest offer to make a blue serge
suit to order at $3.50. giving the pur-
chaser n choice of six different weaves and
shades of blue, has met with the greatest
success. Shrewd clothing buyers are TAX
ing advantage OF this unusual opportunity
to suit their tastes as we'll as purses at
so small an outlay. The style of coat and
vest does not affect the price, either. You
may have a double breasted coat and vest
or a cutaway coat with double breasted
vest at same price as for single breasted.
The offer is certainly one well worthy OF
consideration, coming from so reputable
house.

ALMOST A RIOT AT aRAvEsENp.
The Talent Greatly Wrought Up over
n Bad Start


Bad Start.
New York, June 1O-What would other
wise have been an enjoyable outing at the
Brooklyn Jockey Clubs track was marred
today by one of the most unpleasant
scenes connected with metropolitan racing
this season. 1t was brought about In the
sixth event on the card, a selling race for
three-year- and upward, at a mile and
a sixteenth. Betting on the issue was un-
usually heavy, with Rhinelander an odds
on favorite, and Rice second choice among
the dozen candidates. Dan Rice was in one
OF his worst veins, and some of the others
were inclined to follow his example.
Rhinelander was one of the most conspicu-
Gus, and when Starter Fitzgerald dropped
his nag, Pagets colt and Rice remained at
the post. The voice OF the speculative ele-
ment was at once heard in wild protest
ana when the horses passed the post a
noisy mob surrounded the stewards stand
bowling unprintable epithets against the
starter and everyone Else concerned
Their attitude became SO threatening that
the Pipkerton men lined up between them
and the stewards enclosure, but they held
their ground stubbornly until the starter
turned homeward across the infeld. Be-
fore leaving Mr.. Fitzgerald made an expla-
nation TO the stewards, with which they
were apparently satisfied
The great American Stakes, one of the
most important events for two-year- olds
on the circuit, was the main event of the
day. Vulcain took the honors after SEN
sational stretch race, in which the issue
hung in the balance up to the last stride
The race was worth $4,000 clear to the
winner. Summaries:

THE ELEVENTH STREET STRIKE.
There Was No Change Reported in
the Situation Yesterday

No visible change in the Eleventh Street
strike situation, caused by the workmen
along the line of the new underground cleo
trio railroad on that street laying down
their tools and demanding higher wages
and shorter hours, was noted yesterday.
The threatening weather prevented any
work along the line of the railway. and no
workmen were in the trenches. 1t is not
known just how many OF the men will re-
turn and accept the terms of the con-
tractors. Contractor Saxton says that he
is willing to pay the men $1.35 a day OF
nine hours, but they are holding out for
more. Some OF the strikers say they will
not return to work unless given more
money and fewer hours. Others say they
will follow those strikers who returned
to the trenches on Friday on the old
terms. Contractor Saxton said last night
that existing conditions would not permit
him to pay the men more than S1.S5 a
day. If they would work for that, he would
willingly take them back. and If they would
not, he would engage other men. He said
there was no immediate hurry in digging
the trenches and relaying the water and
gas mains -..-.e .at

GAMES TODAY.
cleveland at Cincinnati.
ST. Louis mt Chicago

The game scheduled between Washing
ton and Philadelphia at the latter place
yesterday was called of on account OF wet
grounds. Captain Cooley and his Quakers
should congratulate themselves, for the
Senators were determined to win and more
than likely would have carried off a vic
tory.
The two clubs will play tomorrow after
noon at National Park and again on Tues
day. Wednesday the Orioles will be the
opponents of the Senators here and on
Thursday the two clubs will go to Balti-
more for one game, returning here for a
game on Friday. After the series with
Baltimore the Senators go West for four
games each with St Louis and Cincin-
natl.
The Senators should win one of the
games from Philadelphia and two OF the
three from Baltimore. This is not expect
ing too much of the team as now arranged,
and it is probable that it will do even bet
ter than this.
