MRnkeYS Fearless.

Until monkey is beaten he has no
fear. He would as soon attack lion
as a gnat, and as long as he can look
into your eyes he will not submit. He
considers himself the master. Avert

recognized fact among animal train
ers. The ringtail monkeys taken about
by Italians are very gentle and are
never whipped.

MURDER IN ROCHESTER.
Young woman Assaulted and Choked
TO Death.

Rochester. Nov. 22.-This city has new
er had deeper murder mystery to solve
than that disclosed by the finding of the
dead body of Miss Theresa Heating be-
hind a billboard a short distance from
Davis street yesterday morning. The au-
topsy which was held at the morgue by
several physicians yesterday afternoon
showed that the girl had been criminally
assaulted and choked to death. There is
up to the present moment absolutely no
clew, although the whole detective force
of the city is working on the case. Nei7
ther is it known whether the crime was
committed by one or more men.
The murdered girl was % years of age
and was employed in Brownells factory
on State street. This factory turns out a
part of the material used in kodaks. The
girl was at work Tuesday. She was in
dustrious, and while she was unusually
attractive and popular with both sexes
she never remained out late nights. Tues
day night Tessie, as she was known, left
her home, Ill University avenue, after
supper to go to 127 Davis street to look
for servant who had advertised for en-
ployment She got there at about $50
O'Clock and had only short conversation
with the people at the door. She left, say
ing that she was going to take short cut
home by way of Union street.
The Heating family became alarmed
when the girl did not return, and they
notified police headquarters. Detective
Mcclure started with a carriage, but be-
fore he had ridden very far word came to
headquarters that the body had been
