noux, until the latter married a few
weeks ago.
The bride visited the Zoo often, and
the gorilla was very sensitive about
the attention she showed him.
When heperceived that she undoubt-
edly preferred his keeper Francisco
became more and more jalOus, and
finally Journoux found it impossibl,
to approach the gorilla, especially if
Nine. JournouX was in sight.
Two days ago Francisco was so surly
and quiet that the keeper thought he
was sick and entered the cage to COM
fort his former pet.
The gorilla Immediately sprang upon
his'hated rival. JOurnoux held a short
tamer's fork, which alone accounts for
the fight lasting so long.
1t being dinner time, all the Other
keepers had withdrawn to a distant
shanty. Only three child.rQ witnessed
the terrible fight. and they were so
terrified they failed TO fetch help un-
til JOurnOuX had succeeded in escaping
from the cage
The gorilla followed before the door
could be shut, and the duel continued
outside from one end of the building
to the other, as is shown by the blood
stains.
Finally the children ran away yell
ing.
BY the time help arrived the gorilla
had been killed.
The keeper was found with one eve
torn out, rapidly losing blood from
many wounds and laboriousIy trying
TO crawl away on all fours. One hand
had been completely chewed off anC
the lower lip and part of the chin had
also been bitten.

Fire Him.

The recommendation of W.
c. Allen. the Electrical Engineer
of the District to discharge one,
Augustus Gerhardt, for refusing to
Work along side Ambrose Cook,
eOlOred employe, is one worthy OF
Mr.. Alien and upon which the
Commissioners have every reason
TO act promptly. 1t is indeed al
unfortunate state of affairs IN II
free country when, because a man
differs merely in complexion from
another, invidious discrimination
should be made in the labOring
force, One of the contentious Of
many of the enemies Of the race Is
hat the Negro is shiftless and VIII
not work This shArge is of course
false; but there is nothing which Is
more calculated to make q shiftless
race than the humili2 ion 10 which
it is subjected by the refusal on
the part of another race TO wOrA
side by side on equ i terms. Cen
sidering the population of celOred
pc pie in the District, they are but
poorly represented in the various
Departments of the Di.trict and it
would seem right to rebuke any dis
position on the part Of the whites
to lessen such representation by IN
christian and undemOCratic meth
DDS. This man Gsrhardt may not
like the colored brother; but If he
is not willing to coneeds to bin the
rieht to make an honest living he
should be fired iRstanter. A lesson
of this sort weu.d 60 far to break
down foolish distinc ions based on
color and do much to encourage
or people to become industrious.
We have but little doubt as to the
action of the Commissioners in tie
premises and would be little sur
prised if the foolish man in ques-
t on h S not by this time ruminat
ing upon the injustice of his act
and the Commissioners in remov
ING him. 1t is just such speci
mems Of humanity that Sow the
seed of dlscord and tyranny against
the race. Fire Him.

in the history of the church The

residing at long distances from Rome
have rarely any hope of being in time

Especial to News and Observer

(Specldl 10 news ana observer
Durham, N. c., Oct. 2.-Congressman W
w. Kitchin spoke to a goodly number Of
people in West Durham last night. His
speech was preceded by a short talk by
Mr.. Jones Fuller, nominee of the Demo
cratic party for the Legislature.
Mr.. Kitchin discussing trusts declared
that Democracy is not opposing wealthy
men and corporations that are engaged
in honest business with money honestly
acquired. 1t is not a contest of poor
men with rich men, but of right men
with wrong men.
TRUSTS involve monopoly, or practical
control over some article which people
must buy or sell" he said. "Such control
gives the power to fix prices. Such power
used against the people in putting up
prices on what the public must buy or
unduly putting down prices of what the
public must sell, is robbery. All natural
monopolies should be controlled by the
government-such as railroads, street car
lines etc. and the law should fix the
prices"
Speaking of secret attempts to knife
the Democratic party, Mr.. Kitchin said
that a man has legal right to be a Re-
publican. but that no Republican has the
right to fly the Democratic flag. There
is vast difference between one who
scratches a ticket and the Independent"
organization.

THE NEW YORK OUTLOOK.

1t Is not in the power of mortal to

can deserve it," The same is true Of
political parties.
The Democrats in New York have
shown that they deserve to win. They
have dominated for Governor a clean and
able and Independent man, and the whole
ticket is of like character. The plat
form rings clear upon the live issues. The
outlook is good for success. The party
deserves to carry the Empire State this
year, ard the leaders believe that Coler
will win. The exclusion of Devery from
the convention is triumph for decency
and will win the approval of right think

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.

A Remedy Which Has RevolutiOnized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery nor yet a secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia. indigestion
and stomach troubles with which nine
out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure asep-
tic pepsin Government test), golden seal
and diastase. The tablets are sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting
experiments to test the digestive power
of Stuarts tablets show that one grain
of the active principle contained in them
is sufficient to thoroughly digest $500
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food.
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which irritate and infiame
the intestines without having any effect
whatever i'll digesting food or curing in
digestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
SlSLCu III Tie WOl N VI hlfSolioh IL WIZ
very soon recover it's normal vigor, as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any Sc
cret, of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon it's merits as digestive
pure and simple because there can be no
stomach trouble if the food is promptly
digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entire
ly on the food eaten, digesting it com
pletely, so that it can be assimilated
! into blood, nerve and tissue. They cure
dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach,
gas and bloating after meals, because
they furnish the digestive power which
weak stomachs lack and unless that
| lack is supplied it is useless to attempt
! to cure by the use of 'tonics', pills"
, and cathartics which have absolutely
, no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
| found at all drug stores and the regular
use of one or two of them after meals,
will demonstrate their merit better than
any other argument. 10-1-3-5
