why Ape. Cannot TAX.

The latest r~etouching of Darwin's
theory of the descent of man from
monkeys has been given by DR.. Ne
Namara in a lecture before the Royal
College of Surgeons in London Re
said it had been proved that man and
the anfhropo;d ape were derived from
the same stock, but that the nerve
center which controlled mans faculty
of speech was absent IN the ape, SO
that the latter could not learn to
ak. The anterior lobes Of the apes
brain, containing the part controlling
speech. are defective, he said. because
the skull is ossified during the crea
lures first year, into a rigid closed
case that keeps the brain from ex
handing. The skull Of man does not
consolidate until adult age, and so the
anterior lobes and speech nerve cen
4ers can go on developing until vac

TROOPS USE BULLETS.
Albany Merchant Killed and Two Other
Men Fatally Hurt.


Albany, n. Y, May 1S.-Obedient
to orders to shoot if assaulted, guards
men of the Twenty-third regiment
opened fire at dusk Thursday upon a
mob of strikers, sympathizers and in
nOcent bystanders. The hurting of a
stone against the soldiers was the sig
nal for the attack. When the ambul-
ance arrived the following victims
were picked up: The dead-William
Walsh, mechant, fatally shot by ma
tional guardsmen while sitting in front
of store on Broadway, removed to
hospital, where he died during the
evening. The fatally injured-Leroy
Smith, merchant and prominent citi-
zen, shot while sitting in front of his
store in company with Walsh, removed
to hospital, slightly improved at mid
night; William Marshall, non-union
motorman, skull fractured, removed in
an ambulance. Others injured
George Booze, citizen, cheek slashed
open by bayonet; Gilbert Hall, nom
union motorman, shot by mob: Will
lam Rooney, citizen, shot by national
guards.
During the day there had been some
minor disturbances III NOftn Albany,
but the mobs had been quieted and
driven back at the points of bayonets
and the butts of guns, and not a shot
had been fired. Toward evening, while
workmen We're pouring out of the fac
tories, the last of the street cars was
making its way toward the barns on
the final run of the day. 1t was on
Broadway street, moving northward,
while rapidly increasing crowd gath
cred near the Union depot. AS the
car and its armed guard turned into
Columbia street a truck blocked the
way, and the driver, urged on by the
crowd, did not move promptly.
Suddenly some one threw stone,
and although it went wide of the mark
it had the effect of stirring the crowd
to increased noise and demonstration.
Finally the car moved forward into
the next block and another stone was
hurled at it. This was enough to
warn the soldiers that serious trouble
might be expected, and the officer in
command ordered the motorman TO
slow down while he and his men fired
four shots toward the crowd, with the
above result.

even powerless to help the sufferer.
One such husband thus relates his ex-
perience:
III take pleasure in writing you to let
you know about your Favorite Prescrip-
tion,'" says Mr.. E. E. Fricke, of Peters
burg, Menard Co., Ills, Box 367. Why
wife had been sick nearly all her life,
and after trying everything could think
of l made up my mind to try Favorite
Prescription l sent to Chicago and got
six bottles, which my wife took, a table
spoonful three times day, until the
baby came. She felt better after taking
the first bottle, and when baby was born
he weighed nine and half pounds.
To-day he is six months old and weighs
twenty-five pounds. He is as good
child as any one could wish. The doctor
says he is as healthy as any baby could
be, and also the doctor says your Favor
lite Prescription was the cause of such
healthy baby. I felt I owed you this
much for the good you did my wife and
for my own happiness"
HIS cBETTER HALF"
The reference to the wife as the
rbetter halfn is made sometimes half
humorously. But in his heart every
man feels that the old phrase expresses
fact. When the wife is sick the whole
fabric of home totters to its fall. When
the wife is confined to her bed the hus-
band leads half life, life from which
the sunshine and laughter have been
taken away. 1t is not to be wondered
at therefore. that husbands express their
gratitude for the cures which follow the
use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
What change from sickly bed-ridden
wife, helpless and miserable, to wife
who is once more able to "guide the
house" in health and happiness.

Catholic church having parish at
Hazleton, Pa, and man of great in
f1uence among the miners of that
region and prominent as pacifi-
Gator in strikes, has been missing since

An autopsy was held on the corpse
yesterday and absolutely no sign Of

MYSTERY IN AYREs' DEATH
Two Witnesses See a Woman Leave Hi
Room by the Fire Escape.

Washington, May 1.-THE Ayres
murder mystery is claiming the atten-
ton of almost the entire detective corps
Of this city. One of the detectives
asserted yesterday that the mystery
would be cleared up soon. A second
witness to the descent of woman on
the fire escape Immediately after the
shots were fired was found yesterday In
Willie Wolfe, a 14-year-old boy, who
lives opposite the hotel. He says he
heard the three pistol shots. and i'm
mediately went to the window, whence
he saw woman clad in a dark skirt
enter the escape from the window of
young Ayres' room, and after descend
ing to the second story, disappear
through the parlor window.
The story corrobOrates that of Mr..
Baker, who yesterday claimed to have
seen a woman descend the fire escape
shortly after the shots were heard.
The woman, who is described as of
small staure and with dark hair de-
scended slowly, and evidently was
afraid of falling.
