A RARE
Sent from Island of Sumatra to Lon,
don Geological Gardens.

The London geological gardens
have secured, says. the Scientific
American, an excellent specimen Of
the exceedingly rare black-crested
monkey (Semnopithecus melanolo-
phus) first described by Sir SIAM
ford Rafles in 1921 in the Transac-
tions of the London Linnean society.
This species, the "Simpai" of the
Malays, is confined to the island of
Sumatra. The color of the fur Of
this monkey is chestnut red, darker
on the outside of the limbs than else
where. The under surface is whit
ish; the palms and soles are black.
The long slender fingers seem all the
longer by contrast with the tiny
thumb. The face is blush black; a
dark line runs from the eyes to the
ears. The crest is prominent. On
the tail is an orange tinge. The tail
is nearly twice as long as the body,
and shows indistinct traces Of barring
near the root. This kind Of marking
is are in monkeys, though there is a
striking example of it in the ring
tailed lemur ("Lemur catta''), the
only one in which the tail is not uni
formly colored. This specimen Of
the black-crested monkey is housed
with a hoolock gibbon, and thus af-
fords an opportunity Of comparing
the different modes Of progression in
the two animals. The b~lack-crested
monkey leaps, while the gibbon
swings and lets go, the impetus thus
obtained enabling it to cover a wider
space.

A FAMOUS cHOCTAw CHIEF.
Portrait Added to Collection Held by
State OF Mississippi.

The Mississippi department Of
archives and histOry. received ayslu-
able contribution to the gallery Of
portraits Of distinguished historical
~personages of the state, says the New
Orleans Picayune. 1t is an elaborate
oil painting of Greenwood Lehore,
the Choctaw chieftain. The paint
ing was done by a granddaughter of
the old chief, Miss Florence Ray. Le-
fore was the last Of the great chiefs
Of his tribe who ruled the tribe of the
ChOctaws before they migrated to
the western reservations. LAHORE
was the son of Louis LIE Fleur, a
French Canadian, who came to the
Mississippi territory in the earlydays
and settled and married an Indian
maiden, daughter of the then chief
Of the Choctaws. He was born in
1900.
As soon as he was old enough Lee
flores father sent him to Nashville
to school, where he remained until
he was II years of age. He returned
to Mississippi in 1917. At the age Of
"a he was chosen chief Of his tribe.
One of his most important acts as
chief was his advocacy Of the cele-
brated treaty Of Dancing Rabbit
Greek. In return for his valuable
services in peaceably adjusting the
differences between the Indian tribes
and the government, Ledore was
granted several large tracts of land
by treaty with the government.
These lands we're located in what is
now Leaore county, which takes its
name from the old chief. AT one
time he represented Carroll county
in the legislature Of the state.
He decided not to follow his tribes
in their migration from Mississippi,
and settled down on his lands in Le-
fore county, where he built a most
elegant home, nine miles from the
present town of Greenwood, 'lIal-
maison," a historic old landmark that
is pointed out with pride by the citi-
zens Of that community to this day.
Greenwood LeAore is one of the
most picturesque and interesting
characters in the history of Mississip-
pi. One of the heirlooms of his fam
lily is a magnificent sword that was
presented to him by the president of
the United States when he was made
chief Of the Choctaws. 1t was Lee
fore who had a clash with Andrew
Jackson, then president of the Unit
ed States. He was protesting against
the acts Of some Indian agent in Mis-
sissippi. After a lengthy going over
of the matter Old Hickory said: 81,
Andrew Jackson, President Of the
United States, say that the agent is
an honest man." To which Lefore
replied. "And I, Greenwood Lefore,
chief of the Choctaws, say he is a
thief"

New Method of Lighting Fires.

A new method Of lighting the fire
from the top so that it may burn
downward is said to economic the
fuel. This is arranged by laying the
coal at the bottom-always leaving
spaces for air. Mix with a few good
cinders, then put the wood at the top
with another layer Of coal, and some
paper over it. Light the fire in the
usual way, and it will soon burn down

GERMAN WILL NOT
Be REINSTATED
School, Board Decides Against
Making 1t a Study in St.
Paul Schools.

German will not be taught in the
public schools the coming year.
This is the decision of the board OF
schol inspectors expressed in their
adoption of the report Of the commit
tee on text books and course of study
presented at the meeting Of Wednes-
day last. At that time the committee
reported without recommendation, but
setting forth, as quoted in T h e
G o b e of the following day, the many
obstacles which it considered would
make it impracticable to install the
study of the German language in the
schools at this time. The report was
laid over, and in the meantime the
committee amended it by adding the
recommendation that, considering all
the circumstances, the petition asking
that the study of German be introduce
ed into the higher grades of the schools
be not granted. This report was
adopted.
Estimates in favor of E. ]. DAILY,
amounting to $6,105, for work done on
the Irving school addition, and $4,000
for work done on the new G. K. Davis
school, were allowed.
The board adjourned to Wednesday
next at $3.50, when the question Of SAL
aries of principals and supervisors will
be taken up.

new CANDIDATE
FOR QUEEN ENTERS
West Company Employees Enter
the Carnival Contest-Vot-
ing Goes MerriIy On.

At o'clock last evening 1920 votes
had been cast in the contest for cleo
ton as queen of the carnival. For the
second day of the contest this was con-
sidered good showing.
Miss Louise o. Turtle was perhaps
the most active of any of the contest
ants, for when the day closed 429 votes
were credited to her. Miss Turtle is the
talented young woman who took a
prominent part in the amateur enter
tainments conducted under the au-
spices of the Elks and the Modern
Woodmen, circumstance that eVI-
IDENTIFY had it's influence.
Perhaps the most marked feature or
the contest so far was the caucus at
the West Publishing company as to
who should represent that company In
the race. There were six candidates,
Misses Merle Bennett, A. ]. Cohen,
Mary Greer, Alice Lindstrom, Lecta
Mcdowell, Gertrude Theisen and jose
phine Buckley. ).
The balloting began at 3 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, and at o'clock
yesterday afternoon Miss Josephine
Buckley's name was filed at the ST.
Paul carnival headquarters as the
West Publishing company's candidate.
Every employee of the firm is pledged
to her and she is expected to make
strong fight for first place.
AS one of the prizes in the queen Of
the carnival contest E. w. Kahnert &
Co., the Sixth street furriers, yesterday
offered $50 marten boa.

TRADE CHEERFUL

sibIe = Analysis of Failures
for Six Months.

& NEW YORK, July 3.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say: A new fiscal year has COM
menced under more favorable auspices
than appeared possible short time
ago, the improvement being due in no
small measure to the greater conserv-
atism that was an outgrowth OF unset
tied conditions. Seasonable weather
has also contributed to the better dis
tribution of merchandise, beside en-
couraging buoyant sentiment in the ag-
ricultural districts Railway earnings
and output Of pig iron were larger,
while inSolvencieS were fewer. Earn
ings Of railways thus far reported for
June surpass last years by 10 per
cent, and those of 1901 by 1914
More inquiry for pig iron has ap-
peared. and although the actual con-
tracts are for comparatively small
quantities, the tone is distinctly better.
Bessemer iron is not offered for the
third quarter by the association and
orders accepted for early delivery are
taken by middlemen who have stocks
on hand. The situation has been COM
plicated during the past week by the
strike of coal miners in Alabama
which threatens ito restrict output of
Southern iron. / Insofar as quotations
are concerned this is a strengthening
factor and is also calculated to bring
out considerable business that is being
held back in expectation of better
terms.

TEN THOUSAND DEFY
THREATENING RAIN
TO SEE THE CIRCUS
Despite Weather Forepaugh-
Sells Combination Gets Big
Crowd and Gives a Fine Per-
Torrance.

Ten thousand people defied last
nights rain storm and took advantage
of the only opportunity afforded them
of attending the Adam Forepaugh ana
Sells Bros circus.
ON account of the late arrival of the
circus trains in the city but one per
Torrance was given, but the people
who attended the evening snow maze
M in numbers for the loss at the after
noon performance, which had to be
cancelled Inside the big tent was one
sea of human faces. The rain, which
was falling steadily, found its way
through the canvas at places, put the
spectators did not seem to mind TINS,
and women, attired in white dresses,
showed no hesitancy in sitting down IN
a seat in which there was small pool
of water.
But regarding the circus. The enter
tainment last night was circus in all
that the word implies. The horseback
riders, the trapeze performers, the ariel
performers, the cycle whirl, the Jug
glers, the artists who performed oar
ing feats the cloWnS-they were all IN
eyidence-and from the time the wh1s-
tie sounded for the opening act,
grand spectacular prelude, introducing
a military representation OF several
epochs in the nations history until
the maj accession ndu peeH ''iliio
in the closing races, there was no time
that one pair of eyes could see one
third of what was transporting in the
three rings, the elevated stage and the
hippodrome.
The loop the-loop, the ascending and
descending of an aerial platform by
rider on one wheel, and the dash by a
bicycle rider down a stairway from the
top Of the canvas, were features which
were watched with much interest, but
the feature of the circus, without
doubt, was the exhibition given by the
Aurora Zouaves. These international
champions gave the most wonderful
military drill ever beheld here, and the
grace and ease with which they made
the various formations was something
wonderful. The act received more ap-

plause than any other on the pro-
gramme.
With performers, and good ones, too,
vying with each other in three differ
ent rings and on an elevated stage for
the attention and applause of the null
titude OF people present, it was impos-
sible to see it all, but to the credit of
the management it may be said that
the exhibitions in any one of the rings
was worthy of attention, and all the
performers were accorded an applause
which indicated that the people who
had bid defiance to the threatening
clouds and inclement weather appre-
ciated what they were able to see.
The animal display was up to the av-
erage, and while not as good as has
been seen in st. Paul in the past, there
were features which pleased the peo-
pie and caused them to forget what
the menagerie lacked in numbers.
The four cake walking horses came
in for liberal share of the applause
bestowed upon the entertainment, and
deservedly, too. AS the music changed
time the horses changed also, and as
they passed in front Of the thousands
of people in the reserved seats to cake
walk time the applause was almost
deafening.
But there is so much to be said of a
fair to say that the exhibition given by
the combine formed by Mr.. Forepaugh
and the Sells Bros. is worthy of the
patronage of any one who enjoys this
sort of entertainment.
"St. Paul is certainly great show
town." said a representative of the
show last night, when he gazed over
the multitude of people present. There
isn't one town in a hundred that
would turn out a crowd like this on a
rainy night"

practically all of the other seats in the
tent were filed. By the time the cir

hard task to find seats for 200 more
people.

"This rain will have the effect of pre-

of Thursday night" said Capt John
Clark last night.
Roofs have been thoroughly dam

are any serious fires. There Is. how
ever, nothing to prevent accidents to
men and children. Not even rain
would keep them from enjoying them

Notwithstanding the drizZle and rain
of yesterday afternoon and evening
impatient men and boys kept UP con-
tinual firing and did not cease even
during the small hours of the night.
On the downtown streets as well as
in the residence districts the deafen-

Though there is prospect of a
showery day it is certain that there
will be no abatement of noise.
