The departure of Thomas Rain Walk
err, of II. H. Davies and Company to
take up his permanent residence in
England, will be a matter of regret to
many warm and dear friends. Mr..
Walker Joined the firm of Davies and
Company as far back as 1867 AT that
time the whole staff consisted of him
SELF the late II. Fl. Davies, George Mac
farlane and Damon Kellet. From such
modest beginnings has grown the large
firm which is now known as Davies and
Co, employing a small army of clerks
and statesmen. Mr.. Walker, during his
career here has won for himself an ami
able reputation for hawless integrity
and uprightness, while in a social
way ne has endeared himself to num-
berless friends both rich and poor. The
Star wishes Mr.. and Mrs. Walker "God
speed" and trusts that the evening of
their days viii be spent in complete
happiness in the land of their birth.

PRc 81 or EVOLUTION.

Darwin's Theory Sustained by Compare
son of Blood.
The latest proof of the correctness of
Darwins assertion that there is near
relation between man and ape is fur
nished by a discovery of the cores
pondence between the blood of man
end the ape. Blood exposed to air
coagulates- a jelly-like mass.
After time the coagulum contracts
and expels perfectly clear fluid called
serum. Lately experiments with this
natural serum showed some queer re-
suits. When the serum of a rabbit was
mixed with the blood of an
animal not closely related to it,
for instance a guinea pig, the
blood corpuscles of the guinea
pig were thereby dissolved. But the
serum of the rabbit mixed with the
blood of a closely related animal. a
hare, for instance, did not affect the
blood of the hare at all. The serum of
the horse works no change in the blood
of the donkey, but destroys dds
solves) the blood corpuscles of the rab-
bit. lamb or man. The dog, fox and
wolf readily permit exchange of blood.
while the blood corpuscles of the dog
are dissolved by cat serum. This. then,
seemed to furnish a new and sure
means for establishing blood relation
ship between animals. Experiments
with human serum showed that it dis
solves the blood corpuscles of all YER
tebrates. also those of the lower ape.
But the experiments with the higher
apes gave different results. Neither
the blood corpuscles of the orang-ou-
tang nor those of the gibbon were dis
solved by human serum, and human
blood was carried into the blood course
of a chimpanzee without in the least
affecting the latter's condition. Thess
experiments serve to show that the
blood of man and that of the higher
apes must be looked upon as identical.
1t is absolutely sure that none of the
tested serum of animal resembles the
human blood as closely as does the
blood of those three apes-the oran-
sutang, chimpanzee and gibbon. This
highly interesting scientific discovery
furnishes new proof of the probability
of mans evolution from lower animals.
1t throws some light on the sorry ex-
perience had with TRANSMISSION of ami
NAL blood in the blood of suffering hui
man beings. Some scientists maintain
that the sheep and man, the calf and
man stand too far apart in the order
of descent to permit intermixture OF
their blood without harmful results.

Tale CT Maryland Railroad.

One of the most unique railroads in
the country said a travelling sales
man to Baltimore Sun man, was en-
countered by me on recent trip
through southern Maryland.
The road is twenty miles long and
runs from Brandywine, on the Pope's
Creek branch of the Baltimore & Po-
tomac railroad, in Charles county, to
Mechanicsville, in st. Mary's county.
Its corporate name is the Washington
& Potomac railroad company. The
single train which runs each way daily
is made up of the engine, one freight
car and one combination baggage and
passenger car. The schedule seems to
be a very liberal one and no hurry
is manifested in train movements.
The conductor of the train, who
also acts as baggagemaster upon oc-
casion, is general manager of the road.
He issues orders as general manager
and obeys them as conductor. When,
as conductor, he thinks the schedule
should be changed, he notifies the gen.
eral manager (himself), who, if he
thinks it advisable, makes up a new
schedule, and issues running orders
accordingly to the conductor (also
himself) and the latter obeys. There
are no ticket agents along the route
that 1 could learn of, and the conduc-
tor collects fares as on a street railway
here, punching a hole for each fare
in a slip of cardboard. Then he goes
into the baggage car, sees that the
trunks are properly delivered and
looks after express and mail packages.
Il was obliged to take long drive
in the country from one of the stations
and was anxious to get back in time
to catch the train on it's return trip. I
told my driver of my wish.
oh, that's all right he said. If
we are pushed for time we will stop
the train four or five miles up the
track
But, will it stop? There is no sta
ton there
That makes no difference the
driver replied. All you have to do is
to appear on the track at any road
crossing and hail the engineer
although the road cannot boast the
accommodation of trunk lines" con-
tinued the speaker, lit is really great

How TIN. Alligator Wa. N.m,a


When the Spanish discoveries first
saw the American crocodile now known
as the alligator, they were so astound-
ed and impressed by its size that they
called it eel lagarto.'' "Lagarto" means
lizard and ''eP' means the The
Spaniards laid especial stress upon the
first word to signify that it was the
king of it's kind-"the" lizard" When
Sir Walter Raleigh sailed up the ORR
noco river the natives still called the
reptile -legarto" and he used the word
in his book, Discovery Of New Guia-
ma His English sailors caught the
name, and never having seen it writ

by mispronunciation. ''El' became

sion to write of the creature he used

word and put it away in their books,

very much like that of letter carriers.
Strangers in the city often mistake
these hustling laundrymen for govern

asking any questions, gave him let

Forty-Si1th State.

During the next session congress will
probably be asked to grant statehood to
Oklahoma and the Indian territory
There has been talk of making them
into two states, but the present feel
Ing seems to be that the two should
be united in one strong state, which
will be about as large as Missouri will
have not far from million inhabi-
tants and will contain wealth valued
for taxation at more than a hundred
million dollars. The growth of Okla
homa, which was mainly carved out of
the territory set aside for the Indians
in 1884, has been phenomenal, even for
the West. The movement to open the
territory's public lands to settlement
began about 1879. Then arose the ok
lahoma boomers''-would-be settlers
who, when arrested and expelled, only
waited until the troops were out of
sight, and then calmly moved back into
the coveted country. The boomers
campaign lasted ten years. The CEN
trail portion of what is now Oklahoma
was finally opened in April, 1889. AT
the blast of a bugle at noon on beau
tiful spring day began a stampede
which hardly seems to have ended yet.
More than fifty thousand persons en-
before nightfall number of town sites
had been laid out for several thousand
persons each. Another tract was opened
in 1891, and the Cherokee strip or out
let in 1893. The census of 1890 showed
a population of not quite sixty-two
thousand. The current census fixes
the present population at about four
hundred thousand. A year ago there
were still nearly seven million acres OF
government land open to homestead
entry, but that is being rapidly taken

Old-Time Indian Hunt

Charles Gipson relates the following
interesting account of an old time In
dian hunt in the Creek Nation, says
the Dallas News.
Some fifty-five years ago the Creek
Indians would go on camp hunts that
lasted from November until May. On
these hunts it was common for them to
go as far as the Rocky mountains.
They tell of seeing people who travelled
on their hands and feet, and in this
way ran very fast. The young men
tried to overtake them, but were al
ways left far behind in the race. They
tell of seeing species of wild chicken,
the little roosters being a size smaller
than the little bantam of today The

The Players Story

Il was playing once with the elder
Sothern when he was doing the hero
in a romantic play which required his
.eaping from a window in a tall tower
to the stage below, where he alighted
en- a mattress behind a wooden rock,
and Immediately made off rapidly into
a forest said an old actor who was
telling some theatrical anecdotes to
party of friends recently, says the
Washington Star. ''One night, in per-
forming this bit of acrobatic business,
he hurt his ankle and vowed he would
leap no more. Accordingly the next
day the manager hired a professional
circus performer to do the actual leap,
while the actor had to slip back under
one part of the tower wall and descend
by safe but unromantic ladder to his
dressing room. The manager provid-
ed the circus man with a costume
precisely like Sothern's to the end that
the illusion might be kept up with the
audience, and sent him to the theater
to practice. The man made the jump
and set up loud complaint.
Whats the row. inquired a young
member of the company who happened
to be at the theater.
Why, see here explained the pro-
fessional acrobat, this ere drop is
dead easy A man with a wooden leg
and two glass eyes could do it. Now,
if they let me turn a somerset in the
air l wouldn't make any fus.'
Capital said the young actor. Do
it,
"'You think Mr.. Sothern wouldn' t
mind?' said the athlete, doubtfully.
'Mind,' returned the young player,
why, he'd be tickled to death and
probably have your salary raised as
well. Besides, it would bring down

That evening, when the part of the
performance was reached wherein the
hero took leave of the heroine Sothern
was gratifed to see his substitute
crouching in the shadow of the case

cried Sothern.
'Stay, pleaded the heroine, cling

Landscape gardening, in the eyes
of Miss Beatrix Jones, has attractions
superior to those of society. She has
adopted it seriously as a profession,
and finds it ever SO much more stlmu-
lating than dances and dinners MISS
Jones is a daughter of Mrs. Cadwala-
der Jones, and belongs to the -Four
Hundred of New York, but she es-
teens it a far greater distinction that
she is the first woman landscape gard
ener in this country, and that she mas
been chosen a member of the execu-
tive committee of the American So
ciety of Landscape Architects
Landscape architecture is the modern
name for this fascinating pursuit, ana
it is really more fitting than the oloer
term, since gardening implies the cul-
tivation of plants, rather than the lay
ing out of parks and grounds accord
ing to artistic standards.
In the two years that she has de-
voted to her calling Miss Jones has
achieved notable results, says writer
in the Home Magazine. She has de-
signed the grounds for several new
residences at Bar Harbor and other re-
sorts of fashion. One of her most re-
cent patrons was Edgar Scott OF Phllas
delphia, who has established himself
next to George w. Vanderbllt's estate.
Miss Jones does her designing in

self in her mothers home in New York

and lawn and shrub land so that they
