SENSATIONAL SUICIDE AT czA.
sImlans Mutinled on the Good Ship
"Mlnnie X"


Savannah, Sept. 14.-The British
steamer Minnie X" arrived at sa-
vannah yesterday after one Of the
most remarkable voyages ever record
ed.
When "Minie K" sailed from Sing.
apore. she took on board lot Of
twenty-eight monkeys.
These monkeys caused the trouble.
When the steamer was two days out
from Singapore the monkeys got
loose, ran up the rigging and all over
the vessel. The whole crew Of seven
ty-two men, except those needed to
man the ship, turned to" and chased
monkeys for a week. Ten days elapsed
before the last one was captured.
There were monkeys everywhere, cab
in, staterooms and rigging. One Of
them ascended the foremast and COM
mitted a sensational suicide by jump
ing into the sea. Two others also
jumped overheard, but in a less sensa-
tional manner
Tom, Jerry and Wall-Eyed Pat were
in the cooks galley enjoying them
selves. They had eaten lot of sweet
potatoes and were rapidly going to
the bani, when Captain Frank. the
trained police monkey, caught three
Of the culprits himself and led them
TO the mates cabin. Frank is a very
intelligent monkey and never fails TO
salute the captain every morning. He
has been taught to eat with fork.
The monkeys are consigned TO the
great Sells-Downs shows, which exhib.

AERIAL POLO.
A aueer Kind of Amusement ON n
Pacific ocean Island.

PnClnC Octnh AaAhnus
Writing on "our Equatorial Islands"
in the Century, James ID. IIaguo says:
II became an amusing diversion TO
overturn the large fnt stones beneath
which tho rats were hiding 10 solid
masses and watch them as they scam.
pered In all directions, pursued and
quickly snatched up by the man-o'-war
hawks. These crafty birds were apt TO
learn that the appearance Of a man
walking on the island, especially with
O dog, meant rats for them, and any
one thus going forth was usually fol-
lowed by a lowering flock, ready and
impatient for the sport they had
learned to expect. a rat brought TO
hand by the dog was quickly tossed'in
air, where the birds were ready TO
snatch II, sometimes with n contest on
the wing for the disputed possession.
One form OF this sport, sort OF aerial
polo, which seemed 10 be as good fun
for the birds as for the observers con-
sisted In tossing two rats into the air
at the same moment, not singly and
apart, but tied together with about
six feet Of strong twinc.
Instantly the birds made n dash for
the rats, and the successful winner OF
the first prize went sailing OF with
one fat IN his bill and the other swing
ing in the air beneath until snatched
by the second winner, when, after a
quick sharp struggle and n taut strain
on the cord, the bird with the weaker
hold was compelled to let go. This
then went on as continuous perform
Ance, with somewhat Jonah-like but
rapidly repeated dlsappearances and
reappearances OF the little rats, swal-
lowed and reluctantly disgorged by
the birds In quick succession until the
flock. thoroughly exhausted by their
impetuous fight and extraordinary
exercise, allghted on the ground for a
short truce, when the two temporary
Stockholders would be found sitting
face TO face. keenly eying each other
from opposite ends OF the string still
connecting them, each anxiously on
the sharp lookout for sudden Jerks and
unpleasant surprises. while all the 9th
or pursuers gathered around In n ring,
waiting for the two prize birds to fly.
The general aspect OF all participants
seemed 70 verify the familiar adage
that the pleasure Is not in the game,
but In the chase.
