The pygmies of Uganda are confined
to a belt of forest lying to the east and
west of the Semliki river. They pre-
sent two somewhat distinct types as
regards skin color, one of the types
being a reddish yellow and the other
biz <. r bodies of the former are
covered " short, fine black hair and
this is prr"ent in the cases of both
sexes. One r-mmOu feature to all pyg-
mics is the shape of the nose. There
is not much bridge to this organ. the
lower end of which is large and fiat
tened. but the remarkable size of the
cartilage above the nOstrils and the
fact that these CaEtilagos rise almost as
high as the central part of the nose
differentiate the pygmy from all others
of the negroid type. The mouth is
large and ape-like. the chin weak and
%reCeding and the neck short and weak.
The pyGmies are adroit in climbing
and to a slight extent make use of
their feet in grasping branches be-
tween the big toes and the rest of the
toes. The average height of the men
is 4 feet 9 inches and of the women
4 feet 6 inches.

TAYLoR'S RECORD BAD.
The Police Say He Usually Fights
When Arrested.

Frank Taylor. colored, who was ar
raig1ed in Police Court yesterday for an
assault upon Mr.. and Mrs Scagneli, who
conduct a fruit stand near the corner OF
Fourteenth and Sampson Streets, was
sent to the Emergency Hospital by order
of Judge Scott, result of number
of severe wounds he received while en-
gaging in a fight with Policeman Yates,
of the Second precinct. Before going.
however, Taylor made charges against
the policeman, saying that he had been
beaten without a cause.
According to the police Taylor always
makes a fight when placed under arrest.
4 year ago, during a struggle with Po-
Iceman Goldman. who had attempted to
place him under arrest for having struck
the daughter of MAJOR Sylvester. he
broke the patrolmans arm.
Policeman Yates claims that when
he arrived on the scene Taylor had Mr.
Scagrclli by the throat. and after having
taken the negro on, the prisoner turned
on him. Finding that the prisoner was
bound to do him injury if he did not
protect HIMSELF. he struck him several
times with his baton. Tay lor has asked
for jury trial.

CROWDED FOR SPACE.
Need of New Building for Pension
Office Records.

The Senate has received letter from
the Secretary of War on the need for a
new building FOR the Record and Pension
Office. 1t is held therein that hall of
records would not relieve the need, as
the records have to be referred to very
frequently.
This is especially true OF the records
of the volunteer armies from the ReyO-
lutionary war to the present time. an Of
which are being arranged, card in1eXed.
and reported upon, Secretary Root says.
mo part of these records could be placed
in storage without stopping the work of
the office as to the records so stored.
They take up a great deal. of room which
is very much needed for other purposes,
but they are too valuable to be removed.
except to a fireproof building. In the
present location they are crowded, and
should have for their proper accommO-
dation 10000 square feet OF additional
floor space.
There is no space available for this or
other demands. and. therefore, TO perma-
nently relieve the overcrowding 1 recon-
mend that an appropriation of 5000 be
made at once for the preparation of
plans. specifications, and estimates for
the construction of a thoroughly fire
proof building to accommodate the Rec
ord and Pension Office of this department
The War Department occupies 17S 194
square feet of floor space in The State
War. and Navy Department building. OF
this the Record and Pension Office occu-
pies 5i.627 square feet, nearly one-thrd of
the entire amount available
Besides the space occupied by the Rec
ord and Pension Office in the State War
and Navy building, an aggregate of near
ly as much more is occupied in the Army
Medical Museum building, the Ford s
Theatre building. and in two rented build
iugs. 1Gl0 Seventeenth Street and 17l2 q

AMERICAN THRIFT.

In the increase of crude materials i'm
ported for manufacturers in this coun-
try during the year 1900, the ingenuity
and forwardness of the American work
men are shown in 4 remarkable degree.
According to reports of the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics, 100000 worth
of raw material was imported, while, IL
to this be added the total of articles
wholly or partially manufactured for use
as materials in manufacturing, the
grand total would be $500, ,000, 900, equal
ing A. per cent Of all impOrtatiOns. This
is the largest in the history of the United
States, both in volume and in relative
percentage.
Peter Curran, a fraternal delegate
from England to the conference recently
held at Arlington Hall in New York,
gave one of the principal reasons for
this wonderful increase in the impOrta-
ton of raw materials when he made the
statement: Your employers are getting
more work out of the wOrkingmen than
are the employers in the Old Country.
and the manner in which you rush in
this country would not be tolerated for
single moment in England
AS yet, no one has heard American
workingmen complain about the mau-
ner in which they rush" Inc Ameri-
can spirit Of commerce is rapidly con-
quering the world, and the workingman
is behind it all. If the manufacturers in
Great Britain were awake TO the fact
, that American workingmen rush be-
cause they take pride in their work,
they would not now be introducing Into
Parliament bills 10 drive products OF
the United States out of competition.
England has not had the increase In
this class of importations which has
marked the rise of the American work
man with his improved methods and
better brains. On the contrary, the in
difference OF the British workman has
borne fruit in q decrease of importatiOns
in that country that has been CALLING TO
the nation of a departed commercial
prestige Great Britain can study the
tables given by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics and find In them the results
of American thrift and application ex-
pressed in dollars and cents.

administration 10 a degree surprising

termined TO smash the machine now in

solved TO have local administration
composed of men of integrity and known
character: men who will serve the COM

1t will be wisdom on the part OF the
