He preserves complete silence when alone,
using the sounds only to convey some in
formation, want or desire, and not as u
pastimc.
These sounds arc made with the vocal
organs, and are modulated with the teeth,
tongue and lips, in the same manner that
man controls his vocal organs.
The fundamental sounds appear to be
pure vowels, but faint traces of c~onsonants
are found in many words, especially those
OF q low pitch.
There is no universal language among
monkeys. Each species has its own pecu-
liar tongue slightly shaded into dialects.
The radical sounds do not appear to have
the same meaning in the different tongues
Like ali pioneers, Professor Garner has
had many difficulties in carrying out his
work. He has made few converts, aroused
considerable anita gonisnl, ana has had lit
tie help from scientific societies in his for
mer expeditions.
Previous to his first trip in 1S92-during
which journey he lived for over 100 days in
his cage in the heart of a gorilla country
he applied to several societies for assist
ance. Those devoted to geography referred
him to ones making q speciality of philol-
ogy, while the philologists thought it was

most interested.
Though science coldly turned its back on
the professor, the residents of the Congo
country Were most anxious to help him and
We're more than kind with assistance, both

One result of Gamers researches is that
he is convinced the chimpanzee ranks
higher mentally than the gorilla, though
most naturalists hold to the contrary opin-
ion. His unique plan, however, OF living IN

AT THE OLIVER.

An extraordinary musical event is
the appearance in this city Of the
world famous Nine. Sofia Scalchi and
her company Of grand opera stars at
the Oliver theater on Monday night,
January o.
Nine. Scalchi has sung before more
of the nobility than any artist Of her
time. She was associated so closely
with the triumphs of Patti that she
became too much of a rival for the
capricious little soprano, who became
insanely jealous Of the great contral-
to and refused to sing with her again.
Associated with Salchi are several
artists of the first rank. Mile. Helene
Noldi the past two seasons has sung
with remarkable success in London
and Paris. She possesses a strong and
particularly dramatic voice of unusual
sweetness. She is native of Chicago
and the first great singer that the win
dy city has produced. Signor Albert,
the baritone is an accomplished ar
fist. The tenor, Signor Canzio, has
not been heard in America before this

the young romantic actor who created
so many roles under Mr.. Charles Froh-
mans direction, heads large organi-
zation of competent actors. That tine
popular demand for romance is not
wanting is apparent in the success
which "Under the Red Robe" has
achieved ever since "The Prisoner of
Zenda" set the fashion. In response
to many requests Charles Frohman
gave several revival performances of
Under the Red Robe" at the Empire
theater recently and the furore created
was tremendous. Prompted by the re-
ception given these REVEALS he deter
mined to repeat the piece in few
other cities, and the performances
here will no doubt be thoroughly ap-
preciated. This is going to be the

CHAINED THE TRAIN.
Athens Sheriff Collecting Rail-
road Taxes.
OTHER CREWS WERE TOO SHARP.


BIsHoPvnILE, o., May i6.--The To-
ledo and Ohio Central Extension rail-
road, which passes through here, owes
the county about Sc, 900 back taxes. AS
a southbound local was passing through
Amesville, few miles south of here,
the sheriff of Athens county and his
deputies held it up and attached it.
Strong chains were procured and the
engine and cars securely bound to the
track.
The crew of the north bound, how.
ever, knew thing or two, and gettip g
wind of the proposed hold-up, stopped.
The mail car was taken from its usual
place at the head of the train and
placed at the rear, and so the train pro-
ceeded to its destination without inter-
ruption.
An excursion train was due in few
minutes, but the conductor, getting a
tip as to the proposed scheme, shot
through the station at the rate of a
mile a minute, and pulled into Morgan
county where the sheriff could not fol
low him.

STRIKE ON AT BUFFALO.
Carriers Accused of Violating the Agree.
ment-Bishop Quigley Advised
Men Not to Work.

BUFFALO, May 16.-The dock situa-
ton was worse last night than at any
time since the opening of the season.
The monthly men, the men who work
inside of the elevators, are out, and
have agreed to remain ont until the
grain shovelers and the freight handlers
strikes are settled. Today every eleva.
tor here will be idle unless new men
can be secured to take the places of the
monthly men, which is said to be i'm
probable, owing to the fact that it re-
quires considerable experience in oper-
ating the machinery of the elevators.
Bishop Quigley and the leaders Of the
grain shovelers held conference. The
grain shovelers claimed that Mr.. Con-
nors had violated all the essential pro
visions OF the agreement that the Lake
Carriers association had made with the
union. The bishop summoned many
witnesses before him. At the conclu-
sion of the conference the bishop ad.
dressed big meeting of the grain
shovelers. He told them that in view of
the course adopted by the contractor,
he would not advise them to return to
work.

MISTAKEN SIGNALS.
Believed to Have Been the Cause of the
Fearful Wreck on the Read
ing Railroad.

READING, Pa, May 16.-Coroner
Rothermel announced his intention of
beginning the inquiry into the cause of
the wreck on the Philadelphia and
Reading railway at Exeter on next Mon
day. He spent some time In Philadel-
phia subpoeauing witnesses and making
general inquiries concerning the wreck.
1t is believed that the district attorney
may assist in the investigation. The
coroner saw Harry Orrell, the engineer
Of the Inflated second section of the
wrecked train, and his fireman, Everett,
and notified them to be present. 1t is
said that United States Senator Penrose
will also be witness.
Train Dispatcher Rourke, it is said,
ordered the tower man below Reading
to turn the red light against the second
section and when the train came in
sight to give him the green or caution
airy signal. This was obeyed, but Or
rell running slow, saw white signal
about mile north of Exeter and put on
high speed, which was the fearful re-
suit of 30 killed and 80 injured.
All but seven Of the injured have
been discharged from the hospitals in
this city.

TO WELCOME VOLUNTEERS.
President Mckinley Expects to BE In the
West When They Return From
the Philippines.

Hot SPRINGS, Va, May 16.-It is the
intention of President Mckinley to be
in the western states at the time of the
return Of the volunteers, who have done
heroic service in the Philippines. 1t is
expected that the necessity for the re-
tention of volunteers in the island of
Luzon will not exist much longer, and
when the volunteers reach their native
states for muster out Mr.. Mckinley
hopes to be there to greet and honor
them. If the trip to the west already
planned should not occur when the vol
unteers are returning another journey
will be made to carry out this purpose.
President Mckinley practically prom
ised to make a visit to Minneapolis and
st. Paul this summer or fall in connec-
ton with a western trip. Congressman
Fletcher of Minnesota arrived and pre-
sented to Mr.. Mckinley an invitation
to visit that state. Unless conditions
beyond the presidents control prevent,
he will include st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis in his tour.
A number of colored employees of the
hotel entertained Mr.. and Mrs. McKin-
ley with an .impromptu concert in the
presidents apartments. A quartette
sang, banjos were played, and there was
some old Virginia darkey dancing. Mr..
and Mrs, Mckinley were much amused.
In the morning they took short drive.

Troops Called Out.

ClENFUEoos, Province of Santa Clara,
May l6.-A gang of Cuban laborers
called upon Captain Barker, captain of
,the port, and made demand for back
pay. AS they were violent, Captain
Barker drew his revolver. The laborers
retired, but returned soon after with so
others and made a similar demand,
using obscene and profane language, in.
sulting Captain Barker and Offering
threats.
The Cuban police were ordered to ar.
rest the malcontents, and general
street figt followed, in which one la
borer was killed and seven persons were
wounded, including three members of
the police force.
AS the Cuban populace became very
insulting and threatened revenge an
outbreak was expected, and the Second
United States infantry regiment was
ordered into the city. The troops were
patrolling the town.

MONNEYr TO TESTIFY.
day-McNulta Predicts Market Con-
troll by Trusts, ~ Not Checked

WASHINGTON, May 16..--Hon. John
McNulta, receiver of the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding company, was witness
before the industrial commission.
General McNulta began his testi.
mony by giving some of the details re-
garding his receivership for the whisky
trust.
1t was found, he said, that one dis
tillery at Nebraska City, Neb., had been
sold for $4,000 at private sale, and later
was bought by the Distilling and Cat
tie Feeding company for $40, 900. There
was another case in which one who was
later an officer Of the company, had
purchased a distillery and sold it to the
company for $2S0,000 more than he
gave for it. These and other things re-
suited in the witness filing bill against
a number of individuals, including some
officers, TO recover 100000. There
were other items to make up this total
growing out of stock speculations in
New York by officers Of the company.
General McNulta showed that the COL
lapse of the trust was due to the ex-
treme advance of prices for the products
and that the speculation of officers of
the trust in its shares on the stock mar
ket demoralized the organization. He
also admitted that as receiver of the
company, he had entered into general
understanding or agreement with its
leading competitors throughout the
country, to maintain prices.
Going into the trust, he testified, had
proven detriment to all but few.

standards of the church, but of essen
-tial Christianity. 1t is understood that
DIR. McGiffert will present reply to the
minute and thus the matter may come
up; or it may be forced upon the atten-
tion OF the assembly by petitions from
various presbyteries, some dozen in the
land having voted in favor of doing so.
The presbytery of New York, how
ever, will not figure as one Of the petit

sioners from this presbytery who will
be relied upon to second the attack will
be Rev. DIR. G. w. +. Birch and Rev.

and determination of their assault upon
the orthodoxy of DR.. Briggs. They left
for Minneapolis Monday
1t was said by prominent Presby-
terian minister, who voted to acquit DR..
Briggs, that in an address delivered
since the descent of criticism upon his
"Apostolic Age" DR.. McGiffert had
stated that his book was purely his
torical work, that history was not the
ology, and that, therefore, he was, or
ought to be, beyond censure for hetero-
doxy. 1t was inferred by this minister
that this distinction would be DR.. Nc
Giffert's principal explanation and de-
fence. The minister added that the
last assembly had also shown fine dis
elimination in carefully distinguishing
the man from the book, and in direct
ing it's condemnatory minute against

In the case of mayor the expenditures

mite information on this point, how
ever, cannot yet be obtained, though

was in close communication with the
leaders of the rebellion was doing it's
utmost to secure peace.
Ten members of Major General Law

Young, the old indian fighter, entered
the town of San Miguel, about Is miles
north of Norzagaray, not aware of what

there, but the rebels, taking the scouts

army, fled, after firing few shots.
Young and another scout were wounded
