Denver, Aug. 6.-The Republican
says:
In an effort to prevent Mrs. W. d.
Harger OF 1347 South fremont street,
Denver, from being robbed, William j.
Fay, former superintendent of the Den
yer Gas Company, was Instantly killed
by w masked men who were robbing
the passengers IN Union Pacific train
No. 4, near Hugo, Colorado, at 1890
o'clock yesterday morning. So true was
the aim of one of the bandits that Mr..
Fay sank back dead in his berth in the
Pullman sleeper Lebo, shot through the
head.
The two desperadoes fired four shots
more to alarm the other passengers,
and then went calmly on to rob the oc-
cupants OF the sleeper. In n few min
utes, however, realizing that they had
killed n man, desperate Efforts were
made by the smaller of the desperadoes
to stop the train, and as the train drew
into Hugo and stopped, both men ran

NJ. Ende has recently compared the
figures for the motive power used at
the different expositions which have
been held in Paris. In 1867 the total
horse power was S54. furnished by ff-
ty-two engines averaging 16 horse
power each; in 1878 the total was
2.533 horsepower. given by forty-one
engines OF 60 horsepower average.
The figure for 1883 is $500 horse-pow-
or; only thirty-two engines were used,
with a mean of 166 horsepower. In

and dynamos used to supply the ener-
gy is 3G,0S5 horsepower, supplied by
thirty-seven machines, giving a mean
of 975 horsepower. The French sec
tion has eighteen machines, with a to-
tai of 14,4S5 horsepower. or S02 per

PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
DRATED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.

This pure cider is served on steamers ON
the American line. and at the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family grocers in New
Yosk city.
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice OF hand picked apples from
his own. mill on the premises. 1t is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the efter-
Vescence is natural. and we guarantee Il
to be the choicest cider in he world
Leading physicians IN New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients its perfect purity Is guaranteed.
In Pauldng's Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton's Pippins ale used. The APP
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room TO ripen.
Paulding says 1.-The apples are thorough
~ crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed app es and ground apples II you
take some stems and chew them. YOU will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russet
cider. and everyone will find the Pauld-
'ngs Pippin cider just right to take with
dinner. LfPPMAN BROS,

through the captains and mates of trading
vessels, who import them as a private
speculation. The Germans. however, also
carry on a definite and systematic trade
in monkeys, and men are sent to Asia and
Africa every year to collect the animals.
Some Of the dealers have arrangements
with the natives by which the monkeys
are captured and held for them. and the
Dyer makes only a comparatively short
trip to inspect the animals and take them

by consistent and iucorrig1ble viciousness
and intractability. Thousands of the tribe
fought, bled and died in the cause, and
like the old guard, they died but never
surrendered. There should be monu-
ment to those mandrills who made way
for liberty in Winkeltried style, and
showed the big gra sping balloons and the
frightened chimpanzees and the smaller
Asiatic hordes that the tailless Invaders
might capture their bodies, but couldn't
subdue their proud spirit. Now, as re-
suit of ancestral heroism, innumerable
mandrills are sportively swining by their
tails in African forests, serenely sure that
they will not be disturbed.
They're a bad lot, the mandrills. It
don't pay to bother with them" say the
dealers: but the Banderlogs know that the
mandrills are heroes.
The balloons and chimpanzees are Zero
cious and hard TO handle, but bring good
nrices and there is always a demand for
them. The opening of new geological GER
dens throughout the United States has in
creased the trade in monkeys, but the
American circus has always offset the
greater number OF ZOOS in Erope and has
made this country good monkey market.
The clown and the monkeys are the two
INDISPENSABLE circus adjuncts. The rest OF
the outft may be thin spread and unsat-
isfsctory. but if the monkey and the clown
are in good workIn order'the children at
