CANNOT BREED SWANS.
All Efforts ut the New York Zoo Have
Resulted in Fall

All efforts to breed swans at the zoo
have failed. Frequently the females
have deposited eggs in their nests, but
it takes a long time to hatch swans
egg, and there are SO many people and
SO much excitement to distract the
BIRDS attention that the Maternal in
stinct has not proven sufficiently
strong. -
Superintendent Brown, in speaking
of this the other day, drew COMPARE
son between English and American
people which was not fiattering to the
latter, says the Philadelphia Record.
I'm England" he said, "the people in
general, even the small boys, seem to
feel great interest in the lower order
of animals. In America it is just the
reverse. Here the spirit of destruction
seems dominant. Take, for instance,
swans nest. Instead of being nur-
tured and wa tched and carefully guard
ed against harm, as would be the case
in England, it would be the target for
mischievous and destructive persons
1t seems to be characteristic of the
American people," :.

The Booker Washington
episode shows that the South
feels just the same on the
negro question as of old. Call
it prejudice or sentiment, the
fact remains, and one that's
obstinate. Yet the republican
press cannot fairly complain
of the attitude of the Sou tn,
which is carrying to its logi-
cal conclusion the doctrine of
inferior races applied by the
republicans to the Fi1ipinos.
The only difference is that
the Filipino is brown, the ne
gro black. It is noticeable
that the, Southern papers
which most STRONGLY denounce
the president for asking ne
gro to dine with him, are the
papers which favored the ad-
ministration's policy in the
Orient.

The Taft com mission is
doing we'll in the Philippines,
for the commission, anyway.
They voted to the governor,
who is member of the COM
mission, a salary of $4,000 a
year, and SIS a day for SUBJ
sistence, making a yearly SAL
airy of $40, 375, a salary larger
than that received by any Of
f~ial of the United States ex-
cept the president. The 9TH
er commissioners get $4,000
each, the secretary 81, 800,
the six associate judges each
$1,000, the auditor $4,000, the
director of posts $4,000, the
treasurer $4,000, etc. These
are all paid in gold. Such
salaries would never have
been voted by the people.
Says Congressman Shafroth,
who has just returned from
the Philippines:
1.-The aggregate area of the
Philippine islands is $4,000
square miles, a little less than that
of the territory of New Mexico,
yet the governor of New Mexico
receives only $4,000 per annum
and is not allowed anything for
subsistence nor furnished with an
executive mansion. Think of a
commission appointed from Wash
ington "a place 10000 miles from
the Philippine islands), composed
of men who never saw the land
they govern prior to the Spanish
war, who do not speak or read
the language of the Philippine
people, who are not even Of the
same race as their subjects, voting
to each member salary which is
nearly double that of cabinet Of
ficer of the greatest nation of the
world, and three times that of q
senator of the United States, and
voting to territorial governor q
s:lary more than double that of
the governor of the wealthiest
state in the Union. How must
such action appear to the Filipino
laoorer. who, furnishing his own
food and lodging, earns but Is
cents in gold a day? It must be
remembered that wealth is moth
lug more than stored labor, and
that in the last analysis labor in
one form or another pays all the
taxes. Such action cannot but
make the little brown man doubt
the ability of one nation to give
good government to another.''

STOLEN MONEY ALL. >GoNE.

Missing Messenger Of New York
Bank Surrenders to the Police.
New York, Oct. 20.-George Ami-
tage, the missing messenger of the
Bank of Amsterdam, walked into the
Tenderloin police station during the
day and gave himself up.
Armitage had only $31.40 on him
when arrested. He was the messen-
ger for the Bank of New Amsterdam
and after he disappeared drafts and
collections representing many thou
sands OF dollars were returned to the
bank by mysterious colored woman,
who has not yet, been found by the
police. This incident gave rise to a
theory Of foul play which the police
later discred1ted. Armitage's &C
counts, according to the bank officials.
show a shortage of $500, OF which
sum $4,000 is covered by a fidelity
bond.
Armitage subsequently made a re-
markable confession, which sent the
police scurrying after four supposed
aceomplices who, as alleged, had in
turn robbed the dishonest bank mes
senger of practically all the money he
had stolen. Armitage said that he had
met woman, whom he knew only as
Marie, at a roadhouse which they both
frequented. She was friend of the
piano player in the resort. The wife
Of the piano player and a. violinist who
also furnished music in the place were
also introduced to Armitage by Marie,
and he became friendly with all during
2 months intimacy. Armitage said
that after he stole the money he got
drunk and was unable IT,. return the
checks Marie and the we Of the pi-
ano player agreed to do it for him and,
taking the banA wallet to Brooklyn,
hired a negro woman to return it to
the bank. Armitage said that as the
women left him: Marie suggested that
she had better take charge OF the sto
len money for safety. Armitage said
he gave up the money and the women
never came back. It is believed thai
the police have the names OF the en-.
tire party and will arrest all four. ~

Evansville. Ind. Nov. 13.-The mys-
terry of the two murders near this city
yesterday remain unsolved. The fact
that both of the victims were women,
that both were killed in the same man
ner and evidently by the same person,
adds TO the mystery.
What possible motive existed for
either crime no one is able to explain
Neither woman was known TO have
had an enemy and nothing Is known
t. link the two of them in any afralr
likely to furnish an excuse for one
man TO attack both.
The body of Mrs. Georgia Reilly was
found near the city beisde q public
highway. There were finger marks on
the throat. The neck was broken The
supposition is that the woman was
checked to death by some one in a
buggy and then, when she fell out. her
neck was broken. There were evidences
of the body being dragged some dis
lance and thrown into ditch
mile outside the city. but in an
opposite direction, the body OF Miss
Lena Renner was discovered Dy search-
ers. Her throat also had finger marks,
showing the manner Of death 10 DE
/ similar to that of Mrs Reilly.
John Kifer, who was seen with Miss
/ Renner, was arrested, but proved an
alibi and was released.
! The similarity of these two murders
/ to two others in this city during the
! last three years, forms another strange
( incident in the case. In April, 1898

with a stranger. The next morning her
dead body was found in a ditch. The
man who took her life was never dis
covered. Mrs. StOrk was a prominent
young woman and a great sensation
followed her death.
II April the following year Miss
Nora Kifer of Elberfield, Ind, while
visiting here suddenly disappeared Her
body was found weighted down in a
creek the following month. Joseph ID.
Keith. a wealthy farmer. VIII be
hanged next Friday for the crime.
The only clue found that gives ground
for any hope of clearing the mystery
tends to bring under suspicion man
who for several years has kept com
pany with Mrs. Railey. Friends OF th6
woman told the police that this man
mad shown a jealous disposition, and
had gone so far as TO send her letters
threatening her with death if she re-
ceived the attentions Of any other men,
Interest in this line Of investigation
is increased by the fact that some time
Monday night a strange man went TO
the Railey house in Clark street dur
ing the absence Of the woman, and de-
stroyed all the letters in her posses
sion.
The stomach of the Benner woman
has been examined by the coroner
physicians and traces of morphine
were discovered. although not I'D
quantity sufficient to cause death. This
leads the police to believe that the
woman was drugged by the murderer
and that after the victim became un-
conscious he chOked her to death
