of metal into his cage The monkey seized 1t and tried to chew it. The re- suit was disastrous to his front teeth, which were broken off short.
 As the monkey is valuable speci- men it was decided that the broken teeth should be replaced. A dentist who makes a speciality of caring for the jaws of animals first took a plas- ter of paris impression of Mir. Dooley's" maxillaries, and had the false set all ready for insertion. When "Mr. Dooley" recovered his senses at the end of half an hour he at first made frantic efforts to pull out the strange things that he felt in his mouth, but he soon desisted when he found that he could not budge them, and he is now reconciled.
 The monkeys false teeth are much like human teeth, but are made sharper on the crowns in order to en- able the baboon to crack nuts and masticate all kinds of food.

MT. Tucker accompanied her to the rehearsal of her fathers wedding, and when it was finished they slipped away and got married. Some of their friends learned the secret, and provided 8 double supply of rice and old shoes.

 At the home of Clarence Duncan, a candy manufacturers, the elephant broke through a window and, with his trunk upset bed in which Mrs. Dun can and her children were sleeping. One of the children the elephant picked up and hurled across the room. He then mounted the porch and broke down the door of the house. Before he had done further harm his keeper succeeded in prodding him into sub mission and drove him to his stable.
 Mrs. Duncan became insane from fright and is in critical condition.
 In the afternoon the same elephant demolished the novelty stand of Sam neI List, on the carnival grounds.
 The company should have given per formances until midnight, but the management at once pulled up stakes and at midnight started by special train for Owensboro. Ky.
 The manager, Victor D. Leavitt, said his company would endeavor to com promise these cases, but that hewould fight a s1O,O0O damage suit filed late on Saturday by Otto Brocksmith, a telephone lineman. who alleges that he was permanently crippled in run away caused by an unruly- bear be- longing to the show.

PERFUMES AND HEALTH.
Essences That sooahe and Those That Irritate. and How They
 Arc SIaGe.

Pure violet essence is said to be especially suitable to nervous peo- pie, but it must pe obta;ned from the flowers themselves, not from the chemical limitations. Chemically de- rived perfumes are irritant, poison ous, even, to persons of especially sensitive constitution. True flower scents are obtained in three ways first by spreading fresh blossoms upon glass thickly smeared with pure grease, letting them stand in the sun and as they wilt replacing them un- til the grease is as fragrant as the flowers; second, by repeatedly in- fusing fresh petals in oil, and third, by infusing them in ether, which is then distilled to a dry. solid. reports the Pictorial Magazine.
 As this solid sells for about $500 an ounce, it is easy to understand why the ether process, though far away the best, is not commonly used. But the scented grease and the es- .sences. made by sleeping it in pure spirit are never cheap After all the scent possible has been extracted from the grease it is still fragrant enough to make the very finest per fumed soap. All the citrine scents, bergamot, nerol. orange flower wa ter, are refreshing and in 9 degree stimulating if properly prepared. To make lasting perfume some animal base is essential-muslz, civet or am- bergris.

Magistrate O'Brien, of Philadelphia, Pa, one of the most dignitied of the minor judiciary, was more than shocked at the Ninth district police station the other day when woman was brought out in raiment that was more than deshabille. Her garments consisted of two coffee bags, cut a Ia Filipino.
 The. woman was Ellen Reed, who was found the night before lying in the gutter in drenching rain. She was taken to the station house, where the matron kindly undressed her, but } had no dry clothing for her. A search through the station house resulted in the production of two empty bags as the only pieces of clothing fit for g. woman to wear.

SOAE QUEER PEOPLE.
Inhabitants of Different Parts of tho Globe Who Are Unknown to the
 Rest of Eu12a Rlty.

If a person were confined to one text book, the best one to choose would be dictionary, since it gives an inkling of every art, science or profession known to mankind. A study of the dic- tionary is always interesting and in- structiye, and a simple turning of it's pages will acquaint- US with many things of which we have never pre- viously heard. Notice what fund of Information is contained in the follow ing definitions: ~.
 Amphiscians are the people who in- habit the tropics, whose shadows in one part of the year are cast to the north and in the other to the south, according as the sun is north or south of their zenith.
 The Antiscians are the inhabitants of the earth living on different sides of the equator, whose shadows at noon are cast in contrary directions. Those living north of the equator are artis- clans to those living south of that line, and vice versa. The shadows on one side are cast down toward the north and upon the other toward the south.
 The Ascians are the people who live in land where, at certain time of each year, they have no shadows at noon. All the inhabitants of the tor rid zone are Ascians, they having a vertical sun twice a year.
 The Periscians are the inhabitants of the polar circle. whose shadows, during some portion of the summer, must in the course of the day move en- tirely around and fall toward every point of the compass.

II Seems Probable That the two
Companies viii be Merged Soon
Everything Points That Way at Pres
ent-would Be a Most
Gigantic Affair.
MANY THROWN OUT OF WORK

It seems to be the general opinion
among the local telegraph men, who
keep informed on such things, that
the Postal and Western Union tele.
graph companies are shortly to con-
solidste, as published several days
ago In The Sun.
Nothing definite has of course been
received here, but it is expected that
the consolidation, IL there is one, will
take place Immediately after the cleo.
tion OF a president to succeed the late
Mr.. John Msckey.
One reason 1t seems to be the prev
alent belief that the consolidation will
be contaminated is that Mr.. Clarence
Mackey, son Of the deceased presi-
dent, is in favor OF 1t, while his faith
er was opposed to il, and had kept the
consolidation from being effected for
several years past.
A consolidation would result in vast
and almost inoomprehensible changes.
Il would greatly reduce the cost Of
operation. There would be only one
office in cities where there are now
two or more, and only one set Of en-.
ployes. In New York city it is esti-
mated that $500, 900 annually would
be saved by the sweeping reduction in
force that would follow, and as the
same thing would take place in every
other city touched by the two lines,
only on = smaller scale, the effect
would be far reaching.
Many of the telegraph managers
and operators throughout the COM
psny are feeling mighty uneasy over
their Jobs.

SUP'T. ANNETT HERE
He Is Pleased With Work on the
Long Distance Line.
Says the Phones Are to Relieve OPP
orators of Much Report Work.

Mr.. O. f. Annett, the assistant sup
erintendent of telegraph of the l. @. {,
passed through the city this morning
from Chicago en- route to the Louis
willie division of the road to inspect
the work being done on the long dis
lance telephone lines.
Mr.. Dugan, the superintendent of
telegraph, passed through only q few
days ago to Louisville. The linemen
on the Louisville division, under the
supervision of Mr.. John O'Bryan, are
making great progress with the lines
and the work meets the approval Of
both Mr.. Dugan and Mr.. Annett.
AS to the placing Of the long distance
phones Mr.. Annett said that this
would have to be attended to after
the lines had been completed and it is
probable that the local passenger de-
pot will get one, contrary to the first
decision. II the business demands it
then the phone will be placed in,
otherwise not.
The object Of the phones is to as
sist the yardmasters and officials in
eending reports and transacting bust
ness and thereby relieving the tele-
graph operators and dispatchers of so
much work outside of their regular
train dispatching duties, which have
been greatly interfered with by hsv-
ing to send engine reports and tele-
grams pertaining to yard business aud
the private official business between
the division officials.

Mr.. Jesse; P. Adams Yesterday Hurt
by Calf.
He Is 10 Years Old and Was Butted
Down and His Spine
Hurt.
LITTLE HOPE FOR RECOVERY

Mr.. Jesse p. Adams, q farmer OF
the Loves cross roads locality, was
fatally injured yesterday afternoon
and although better this morning will
not last, in the opinion of DR.. l. O.
Young Of that place, more than few
days.
He was out in his barn lot yesterday
afternoon when vicious calf only
nine months old charged on him and
butted him down. He fell in such a
manner as to injure his spine and is
now lying at his home paralyzed and
unable to move. He is 75 years old, a
widower, and one of the best known
and most popular farmers of the
county.
The accident will be regretted by
his many friends both at his home and
in the city. He fell on his neck
which was forced back in such a way
as to sprain the spine, an affection
that is impossible to remedy with
medicines. DR.. Young says that he
will last not longer than Saturday.
