Pocket
Monkeys

The latest tad in the way Of pets Is
the pocket monkey. It is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance in this country in
his present capacity, and he might be
said to have taken the hearts of pet
lovers by storm. Now his popularity
has become so great that the men who
make business of catering to the
whins of the people who like pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is Ave times as great as the sup
ply. They predict a bright future for
the new tavorite Just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what a good commercial
article they have cad thus be induced
to make regular business OF captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here.
The pocket monkey dweIls so far in
the interior OF Brazil as to be almost
out of the reach of traders. He is.
perhaps, the smallest member OF the
monkey family known, being about
FIVE inches long, but with a tail that is
sometimes three times as long as his
body. He belongs to the marmot fam
lily Of monkeys. and is extremely neat
in person and cleanly OF habit II it
wasn't for those characteristics. he
would not be holding the place he does
in the hearts of those who have in
vested In him.

Striking Steel Workers Are Not

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 17.-Matters
steel strike are in an unsatisfactory
state. While the Geographic notice
was sent out last night by Secretary
Williams to all vice presidents decar-
ing the strike at an end, it cannot be
learned definitely that the official or
der hos been issued by President Shat
fer. Some of the local strikers declare
they have had no such notice, and
many OF them say they will not return
to work, order or no order, unless they
are recognized as union men. Presi
dent Shaffer arrived home at an early
hour, but denied himself to all callers.
A member of the advisory board said
that the official order calling the strike
OFF has gone out and that the men gen
orally will be at work tomorrow or
within day or two later.
What are considered the real condi-
tions of the settlement, though not Of
ficially announced, are that the settle
ment was made only for the three com
panies in dispute-the American Tin
plate, the American Sheet Steel, and
the American Steel Hoop-and those
companies are allowed to retain as
non-union all mills started in any kind
of shape since the strike order went
into effect, the mills that were COM
pletely tied up by the strike are to
remain union under the Amalgamated
scale. Nothing was said concerning the
National Tube, the Federal, or Ma
tional Steel company. The settlement
means a big loss to the Amalgamated
association, but leaves 1t still a strong
organization.

Memorial to the Man VINO opened Up
the Japan Civilization.
The amity existing between Japan
and the United States was recently
emphasized at Kurihama, where a
monument, erected to Commodore Per-
ry, the American naval officer who first
opened Japan to the civilization Of the
western world, was unveiled The me
mortal marks the place where Com
modore Perry landed, in 1853, prepara-
tory to signing the treaty which has
resulted in the phenomenal progress
made by Japan since that time.
The monument is a simple though
enduring one. The shaft is a solid
block of stone weighing 10 tons and
the whole monument, the face of
which is suitably inscribed, is S3 feet
high. At the dedicatory exercises the
off1cialdom of Japan was generously
represented. The United States vessels
the New York, New Orleans and York
town, were represented. One of those
taking part in the ceremonies was
Rear Admiral Beardslee who served
under Commodore Perry at the time
of the landing.
