Monkey Cut Its Throat.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press


Jerry, the pet m nkey of the thirty-fourth
district. has a trick of initiating anything
and everything he sees. The trick got him
into trouble yesterday The sight of his
master shaving himself was too much for
the animal to resist, and in endeavoring to
initiate him the monkey gashed his throat
badly.
When Sergeant Yardell went for his shaw
ing implements yesterday Jerry followed
him and was an interested spectator Of the
operation. After the sergeant had finished
he left the room for moment and did not
put his razor away. That was golden
opportunity for Jerry.
The sergeant heard a cry from the mon
key and went to him. Jerry was sitting
on the table with the razor in his paw and
the blood flowing from wound in his neck
The cut was not serious.

CHAPTER TX.

The first train that left Detwitch for
Lcndon next morning had for its pas
sengers Sir Vivian Devereux, Godfrey
Henderson, and Victor Fensden. In-
epector, Griffin was also travelling by it,
rot little elated by the Importance of
his errand On reaching Euston, after
promising to Meet them at the inquest,
Fensden drove off to his club, while Sir
Vivian. and Godfrey made their way to
Lincoln's Inn Fields, where they were
to have an interview with Mr. Cornelius
Bensleigh, of the firm of Bensleign and
Bensleigh, solicitors. That gentleman
he'd already received letter from God
frey, written on the Saturday night,
giving him an outline of the affair, and
acquainting him of the part the latter
had played in the mystery.
2 IT am afraid this will be calculated
to put you to a considerable amount of
Inconvenience, Mr.. Henderson" said the
lawyer, after they had discussed the
matter for a few moments. From
what I can gather, you were the last
person to see the poor woman alive,
and as Sir Vivian Devereaux says, for
that reason we must be particularly
careful that no breath of scandal at
taches itself to your name. Now, as
cases like this are somewhat foreign to
our experience, I have made UP my
mind, always, of course, with your per-
mission, that / will introduce you to
gentleman who makes them his partic-
ular study. Of course, should you de-
sire it, will put precedent on one side.
and do all can for you; but, if you
will be guided by nae, you will place
your case in the hands of Mr.. Cooley.
the gentleman to whom / refer and
whose name is doubtless familiar to
you. His Office is not far from here.
and If you will accompany me, shall
be only too pleased to escort you to it,
and to introduce you to him."
This course having been agreed upon,

respectable girl. When asked why she
had received her notice of dismissal, Vic
tor answered that it was because his
friend, Mr. Henderson, had suddenly
made UP his mind to travel
Il understand you to say suddenly"
said the superintendent in charge of the
case. why was it Mr.. Henderson sud
denly made up his mind to go abroad?"
II do not know that this question is at
all relevant to the case" said Victor. APP
pealing to the coroner. 1T was purely a
private matter on Mr.. Hendersons part"
But anything that bears on the ques-
ton at issue can scarcely be Irrelevant"
said the coroner. Il think it would be
better if you would answer the question"
Fensden paused for moment while the
court waited in suspense.
II repeat my question said the super
insendent. why did the deceased so
suddenly lose her employment
Once more Victor hesitated. Godfrey
looked at him in surprise. Why did he
not go on?
I'VE decided to travel on account of a
conversation Mr. Henderson and I had
concerning the girl
What was that conversations" in
quired the coroner.
Once more Fensden seemed to hesitate.
Did the conversation refer to the de-
ceased?"
1T did,"
Il gather from your reluctance to an
swer that you were afraid Mr.. Hender-
son might become attached to her, so
you used your friendly influence in Or
der to hurry away as quickly as posi-
BILE? Am L right in so supposing?"
Another pause. during which victors
face was seen to express great emotion.
That was So"
you are sure that Mr.. Henderson was
attached to the deceased"
II am sure of it,
Did you know that Mr.. Henderson was
aware of the deceaseds return to Ma
ples?''
81 was aware that he was in corre-
spondence with her. said Victor: but
he said nothing to me of his intention to
visit her in Naples
Had you known this, would you have
endeavored to dissuade him from such a
course?"
Il do not know what 1 should have;
done; but 1 should think it very probable
that l should have endeavored to prevent
their meeting
When did you become aware of the de-
ceaseds return to England?''
When Mr.. Henderson informed me of
it on my arrival at his home at Detwich
Hail.
You were naturally very much sur
prised to hear that he had met her, 1
suppose?"
Very much" Victor replied
Did you say anything to him upon the
subject?"
Il warned him against the folly of be-
ing drawn into anothe ENHANCEMENT with

dence, there IS absolutely nothing for us
to argue upon. The two strongest points
in your favor are the facts that you were
at Detwich when the box containing thu
dead woman's hands was sent OF at Eus-
ton. and that there would not be sufficient
time between the wonnent when the pe-
lioeman saw you in Burford street and tbs
time when you arrived at your hotel. for
YOU to have committed the crime. What
we have TO do is to find the person who
despatched the box from London. and to
make sure of the han porter. In the
meantime, SO back to Detwich, and be
sure that you don't stir from home until
you hear from me-
One more question. Mr.. Cooley. I
should like you, before we go any fur
Their, to tell me honestly whether in your
own heart you believe me to be innocent
or guilty?''
Il believe you to be innocent" said tina
lawyer; and. YOU may be sure 1 shall
try to prove it,

A Victory for Free Silver.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A West Virginia woman has found an
effective use for the cartwhee1 silver dol
lar. AS most Americans know, this metal
disk has weight and substance In It, 1t
is SO heavy that so cents worth of 1t
weighs dollar. 1t can be used to drive
nails, to wear holes in vest pockets, to
sink man who has fallen overheard, to
tack down carpets, to make great noise
in the collection basket, to play the game
of quoits. to take the place of a paper
weight or to do a hundred and one things
for which general heaviness and clumsi-
ness are required, including the filing of
treasury vaults. But this lady went fur
ther and achieved the only really complete
victory that free silver has yet won. She
had forty of the silver dollars before her
on the table. A quarrel arose-as it usually
does when a silver question comes up
and a man said something disagreeable,
which also generally accompanies a silver
discussion. The lady believed that the
best way to convince an opponent was to
use hard arguments. She proceeded to do
so. Taking a handful Of the properly In
scribed cartwheels, she trusted to fate and
let them go in the direction of the enemy's
Uranium. They landed fair and went deep.
Five gashes in his face and forehead had
to be sewed up by the doctor, who wants
his bill settled on bold basis.

ing:
NEW BURNSIDE, Ill, July 8.
The report is substantially correct, hut I
do not care to discuss the details at this
time. W J. BRYAN
This dispatch from Mr.. Bryan confirms
the article printed exclusively in last Sun
days World describing how Filipino agents
OF Aguinaldo tried to take a hand In the last
national campaign.
Mr.. Bryan had Just been nominated at
Kansas city, and was here a the Hoffman
House Two accredited agents of the Phil
ippine revolutionary government appcared
al the hotel and asked to see the demo-
cratic leader, Mr.. Bryan declined to re-
ceive them, though they declared their busi-
ness to be of the greatest urgency.
The visitors persisted, and later We're re-
ceived by one of Mr.. Bryan's friends hav-
ing been warned that they were to be re-
garded as private individuals and not as
agents of Agutnaldo. They announced to
Mr.. Bryan's representative that, with M.
Bryan's permission, Agunaldo would at
once issue proclamation announcing that,
in the event of Mr.. Bryan's election to the
presidency, the Philippine army would
without condition, surrender to the United
states and trust to the Bryan administra-
tion for a reasonable form of government
founded on the principles of the Constitu-
tion Of the United States.
The delegates also announced that they
were authorized to offer a contribution of
100000 to the democratic national cam
paign fund.
They explained that the Philippine people
were convinced by the utterances of Mr.
Bryan and his principal supporters that
their only hope of Justice and freedom Law
in democratic success. On the other hand
the policy pursued by the Mckinley admin
istration, they said. had satisfied Aguinaldo
and his people that the republican party
had no intention of governing the Philip
pines in any other way than as subject col
onies
Mr. Bryan's representative Informed
Aguinaldos agents that the democratic
party could have no dealings or bargains
directly or indirectly, openly or covertly
with men bearing arms against the author
ity of the United States. They were told
that the Philippine question was being
fought out as an issue of domestic politics
and that the American people could thresh
II out and settle 1t among themselves with
out any outside suggestions or interference
The ENJOYS were advised to leave the coun-
try at once, and 20 inform their government
that the democratic party would have moth
ing to do with them.
The offer of the money was again made,
and then the ENJOYS were told that their
proposals would be considered offensive by
Mr.. Bryan If persisted in further. They
then left the city for Toronto, to cable the
answer they had received to the Filipino
leader.

VALUE OF EXERCISE,
Development the Result of Heredity
Environment and Activity.

From the Honolulu ial-Advertiscr
Physical exercise like all other things,
has had its ups and downs. When Greece
and Rome had the upper hand, the physi-
cal was most cultivated. In the seven
teenth century things physical had a down
fall. The reaction toward physical mac
tlvity was as great as was formerly its
strivings after an ideal 1t was early In
the eighteenth century when more interest
was taken in these things; this interest
increased until now physical education is
recognized in the school, college and uni
Versity as an essential part in the cduca-
ton and all-around development of the
youth.
Since 1t Is through the physical that we
come in contact with and influence our
fellow-beings, and as so much depends
upon physical conditions, 1t is not entire
~ out or place to discuss such a subject
before body of this kind.
Development and an approach toward
perfection are results of exercise. If a
growing nerve cell never sends an i'm
pulse over It's axon it cannot become an
efficient nerve cell. growing muscle
fiber which never contracts fails to de-
velop into a healthy adult fiber. A grow
ing gland which never secretes it's fluid
does not become a perfect gland. With
out exercise there is no true growth. and
when exercise ceases degeneration sets in.
Activity Is the law of growth.
Development is the result of three fac
tors-heredity, environment and activity
These terms hardly need defining here,
yet for our purpose we will say a word
concerning each.
Heredity IS the expression of the struc-
ture and character of the fertilized ovum
from which all the cells of the body are
derived. 1t gives us the living material
upon which to work. and at once deter
mines the possibilities, the limitations and
to a certain extent the course of training.
Environment, both of the body as
whole and of each of it's units, the living
cells. This includes the external condi-
tions Of life as well as the chemical and
physical character Of the blood. Under it
are included the food supply, surrounding
temperature, clothing, the care of the
young by parents, hygienic condition of
the dwelling, etc.
Activity of the individual cell Of the body
as a whole. By activity is meant not sim
ply muscular activity that is merely activ-
ity of one kind of cell-the muscle fiber. A
nervous impulse from a nerve cell is an
other case Of activity. A gland cell per-
forming it's function normally is still an
other case

GAME OF BOWLS.
Coming Into Favor Again an Eng
lish Outdoor Pastime.


lish Outdoor Pastime.
From the London Mail.
There are signs and symptoms OF re-
vived interest in the game OF bowls, one
of the Oldest outdoor pastimes. In it's hey
dey bowls ran archery very close-so close,
indeed. that in the interests of national de-
fense 1t was deemed essential to discourage
the game. Thus it was probably, that the
pastime came to be looked upon as having
something Of an Illicit character, and for a
houses OF entertainment which were not
always Of the best repute. But. in spite
of the ban of bygone centuries, the bowl
ing green has survived, more especially in
the north OF England and in Scotland. Nor
can there be any more delightful game
especially for those who have attained to
an age when such lively physical exertIons
as are involved by cricket and tennis be-
come little unwelcome.
Golf there is no question, owes much of
Its recent popularity in England to the cir
cumstances that 1t is an old mans as well
as a young mans game. In this respect
bowls is a distinctly competitive pastime,
for in village bowling clubs-and, for the
matter OF that, on municipal bowling
greens, for such places eXist-it is tnvari-
ably the older men who are the more eX-
pert, as well as the more jealous players.
OF all historical games Of bowls the most
celebrated was that which was in progress
on Plymouth Hoe when news came of the
Spanish armada. Such is the confidence
which the pastime begets that Sir Francis
Drake continued to bowl at the Jack mere
ly remarking that there was time to finish
the game and to beat the 6paniards
well. The incident is worth recalling IL
only as showing that the northern counties
had no monopoly of the game.
