MENTALITY OF, MONKEYS.
Aecordinn to Professors Garner Ht Is
Mnch ths sEms ns That 81
che Human Being

Prof. L. L. Garner told recently hof
his latest attempt in the study of
monkey or animal speech Ia hiasre-
cent trip to- Africa. He reviewedshia
early effortgto master the mysteries
of monkey speech with captive ami
mails, the growth of his interest and
his observation-disclosures seek out the ari-
NAL in h;a native w.ilda and under ma
tural conditions. His first trip in
1892 was largely exploratory and
much of the time friutleag for his
special purposes. The last trip was
hampered by faulty supply arrange
ments, but was more fruitful OF re-
suits, says q Boston exchange.
The chimpanzee and gorilla were
choser for study as being nearest
structurally TO man and possibly the
highest developed in speech, or 80
least In intelligence. Contrary to
general belief, the gorilla is confined
20 an extremely small district and Is
rarely found ut elevations OF more
than 25 feet above the sea level in
habiting low, ,.marshy, fiat regions ex-
ciusively.
Gorillas never build huts, as has
| been said OF them. They are very rare
animals even in Africa, and only one
living specimen was ever exhibited
| In the United States and that in Bos-
ton, for about day and a half, dy-
ing FIVE days after its arrival. The
gorilla has been abandoned, virtually,
by Prof Garner as an object Of sys-
tematic study, owing TO the infre-
quency of suitable opportunities.
The chimpanzee IS more tractable
animal, much more numerous than
tho gorilla, and has much wider
range, though how wide Prof. Garner
has not been able 70 determine. The
best region for finding them Is
| around the ogowe river, where the
professor purposes 10 return in a
few months with supply arrange
ments permitting uninterrupted at
tention to the object Of his trip. The
lecturer gave a graphic recital of his
experiences in the jungle and the diff
ficulties attending travel along the
African equator. His famous cage
was on the platform. It's details were
explained and some idea given of the
native and foreign residents and Gus
toms of the region. A special WORD
of praise was accorded the Porlu
guess residents he met with there
and their sympathetic aid In hii
work.
One Of the conclusions he has ar
rived at is that monkeys mental pro
cesses differ in no respect from
mans, except in degree. especially
In the matter of speech. A remark
: able instance was related OF q tam
chimpanzee in Africa which had beei
trained 20 know all the keys of
plantation and TO use them. One o
the keys was a simple affair-llttl
: more than square steel plug-but
opened a cabinet containing eatahle
and was the first key he used whei

ri After time It was learned tina
: the animal was opening the cabins
on his own hook and It was foun
that he would nibble a stick down I

DAUGHTER OF 1.-THE SPY"
 STAR OF COMPANY.

To the ex-Confederate veterans of the community there will be an added interest in the forthcoming produc- ton of "Darkness and Daylight" :" which opens the Newport Opera House on September II, because of the fact that the particular star of the organization is Miss Sarah Boyd, a daughter of Belle Boyd of Virginia, who was known to fame as "The Con federate Spy" These same people will be delighted to know that Belle Boyd's daughter now is one of the most prominent of the younger ac- tresses of the country, and that her present tour of the South has been almost social triumph, as well as the usual hard grind of theatrical life, as the ex- Confederate veterans every where along the route, as well as thelr wives and daughters, have vied with each other in extending their hospi- tality to the daughter of their late sscomrade in arms"

LICENSE QUESTION
 STIRS TEXARKANA.
Prohis on Arkansas Side Seek to Take Advantage of Three Mile Law ,
 and Bar Saloons.

Texarkana, Sept. 9.The temper ance question is greatly agitating Texarkana this week on both sides of the state line. The antis have em- ployed able lawyers and these have sued. out an injunction before Judge Talbott of the district court on the Texas side restraining the commis- sionerss court from declaring the re- suit of the prohibition election which was held in the county August 27, and which showed a prohibition majority.
 Judge Talbott will give the injunc- tion petition hearing on Saturday. The antis will on tomorrow also file formal notice of contest, alleging irregularities, illegal voting and some technical defects of the order under which the election was held.
 Meantime the partisans of license and prohibition are lining up for a test of strength on the Arkansas side, and a decidedly interesting time is in prospect. The friends of license are working to get the city council to raise the city license on saloons from it's present figure of $700 to $2,000, while the temperance folks are out ir force circulating petitions to the county court, under the three mile law, asking that the saloons be done away with entirely. Many men and nearly all the women are signing the petitions and the temperance people are sanguine of success.
 Rev. E. A. Tabor, editor of the Searchlight, has been in the city sew eral days engaged in efforts to work up an anti saloon sentiment on the Arkansas side. Several MEse meet- ings have been held at which Mir. Tabor and others made strong appeals for temperance and prohibitions Many business men are opposed to local option, while others strongly favor it.

A NATURAL CURIOSITY.
Some of the. Wonderful Things About the Blowing Cave, Five Miles
 From Batesville.

One of the several natural curiosities in which Independence county abounds is cave situated on the bank of Polk bayou, about five miles north of Batesville, commonly known as "Blowing Cave"
 On one of the hot days last week when the thermometer registered 115 in the sun, the writer had occasion to go by this place and before starting placed in his pocket a small ther- mometer to really see what difference in temperature there was between the outside air and that of the cave. Im- agine his surprise when the mercury began falling rapidly, and finally stopped at 55 degrees, clear drop of 60l
 A peculiar feature of this cave is that it blows out for half the year or through the warm season, and in the opposite direction during the other half.
 Another remarkable fact is that at the entrance the draught is amply suf- ficient to extinguish candle or even a pine torch, while back in the cave some 75 yards the air is perfectly still and the flame burns steadily. Where does this strong current of air disap- pear? Surely not through the bottom, sides or roof, for these can be plainly seen by means of light, and no open ing is revealed in eitber. Yet this strange breeze which blows at the rate of 20 miles an hour must origi- nate somewhere, but as yet no one has been able to find out whence 1t comes. In the winter it is the same way. You follow the draught going in for some 200 feet, when suddenly il leaves you, going you know not where.
 It is asserted that about one and half miles from the mouth there IS g swift stream of water which no one has been able to cross, running in direction parallel to the bayou, but the writer will not vouch for this, as it is second hand.
 We earnestly recommend this cave to all who are seeking cool place these hot summer days, but we take the liberty of advising them to gC prepared with wraps, as the difference in temperature is great and the change a little more than has likely been bar gained for. A Cool SPOT HUNTER.

POPLAR BLUFF BOY
 DROWNED IN BLACK.
Lyman Croy Drowned While Bathing in Black River Wednesday-Com- panions Attempted to Con-
 ceal Death.

Lyman Croy, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. c. Croy, living in Poplar Bluff, was drowned while bathing in Black river Wednesday morning, says the Citizen. He in company with his brother, Gale, years old, and John Clevlen, 10 years old, had run away and gone into the water, although none of them could swim. They went to place near the trestle on the Iron Mountain track just south of the pumping station, where the current is very swift and the river abounds in deep holes. In some way young Croy got beyond his depth and was swept away to his death by the swift cur rent.
 His companions hid his clothes ill a bramble patch about two hundred yards from the scene of the drowning. They then came to town and told a wild tale of how mysterious stranger had struck the boy and kidnapped him. The whole city rang with the tale and searching parties went out in every direction to seek the miscreant. Gale Croy was taken in charge by the sheriff, but stuck stubbornly to his tale.
 A systematic search for the body was made and after half an hour's diving and dragging it was found.
 When questioned as to their motive for telling the tale about the kidnap- ing, the boys stated that they feared to tell of Lyman's death because they feared the news would be too great a shock upon his sick mother. The probabilities are that they expected that the boys disappearance would be credited to the stranger and their own part in the affair never suspected

As for myself I would prefer that Auburn and Tusca- loosa turn out one lad with his bright face turned to the old farm, filled with an abiding faith in it's future and en- thusiasm for it's plants and pleasant fields, than dozen doctors, lawyers and engin- CTS. That legislator shall win honors enough who points the way to the erec- tion of a respectful school building in the center of every township, a smooth clean road leading up to it, and prepares to renew the flowers in the garden oi the deserted farm house. Until that fruition is come what we mean by pros. perity is prosperity for the few not for the many.
 That the day may come soon, let us work and pray.
 Cunningham Also Speaks.
 It was determined only this morning that the inauguration of Lieutenant Gov. ernor Cunningham should form part oi the public ceremonies on the capitol portico, and he was sworn in and made an address immediately after Governor Jelks had taken the oath. Dr. Cunning ham congratulated the state and the people on the new era on which they had now entered under constitution that secured fair elections and made other happy reforms. He paid a most grace full tribute to Governor Jelks personally and then said: "The office to which I have been elected was created by the new constitution. The reason of it's exist ence is to provide a successor elected by the people to the office of governor, if in the providence of God there should occur a vacancy in that high office, which providence I pray God to withhold. The fixed duty of the office is to preside over the senate It is not the duty of the lieutenant governor, nor should he be per- mitted. to appoint the committees and officers of the senate.

DAKOTA DIVORCE
 LAWS ARE SHAKY
U. S. SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DECISION OF MASSACHUSETTS COURT ON THE QUESTION OF LEGAL DOMlCiLE.

Washington, January 19. = The United States Supreme court today again passed upon the validity of divorces granted in South Dakota to non-residents in the suit of Annie Andrews vs. Kate H. Andrews over the estate of Charles s. Andrews, whom both claimed as husband Andrews secured divorce from Mrs. Kate An drews the first wife, in South Dakota, after remaining there six months, as re- quired by the statutes of that state. The Massachusetts courts held that the de- cree had been fraudulently secured ana recognized the first wife the legal widow of the deceased MT. Andrews. To- days opinion which was delivered by Justice White, affirmed that holding. He said that Andrews residence in the state of South Dakota did not constitute legal domicile. Justices Brewer, Shiras and Peclxham dissented.
 In passing on the case Justice White held that the federal constitution was not involved in any way in the case; that there is no power that congress could ex- ercise to regulate or prohibit divorces, and it must follow that unless the severai states were permitted to control the sub ject of divorce among their own citizens the subject would be entirely uncon- trolled, in which case the destruction of society must be the result. As MT. An drews had been a citizen of Massachu- setts the courts of that state had juris- diction, and not the courts of another state. It was evident, he went on, that Andrews six months residence in South Dakota had been taken up for the sole purpose of securing a divorce; that tenn porary residence did not amount to domicile nor to a change of citizenship. For this reason he held that the South Dakota court was without jurisdiction in the divorce proceedings and it's decree wholly void
