IL is also suggested that he take the
lecture platform and raise funds for

ing his services n the movement. In
discussing the plan, he said:
innovations and novelties in the
methods Of government are proposed

administered as gigantic corporation,
OF which all members OF the society
would be stockholders All lands, IT,

PAUL DU CHAILLU.

Paul Belloni Du Chaillu, who hai
Just died of apoplexy in st. Peters

half century he had been before the

ment on the Gaboon river. Africa,
where his father had a consular ap-
pointment.
In 1885 he explored territory up the
west coast of Africa on both sides Of
the equator, accompanied only by ma
tives. He made a journey Of eight
thousand miles in a country which
was practically unknown, and, al
though he made no pretensions as a
scientist. he added sixty species of
birds and twenty of animals to the
known zoology of Africa.
His most important discovery in 20
illogical research, viewed in the light
of developments, was his discovery of
the gorilla His vigorous description
Of the ferocious apes brought down
upon him many attacks, and, although
there were persons who compared him
with Bruce, the Abyssinisn traveller,
and with Baron Munchausen he in
sisted that the gorilla existed and
wrote book to prove it. On his re-
turn from his Dark Continent travels
he leetured throughout the United
States. -St lected.

JEFFERSON DAVIS FUND.

Richmond, Va, May 6-The bazaar
which has been held for the benefit OF
the jefferson Davis memorial fund is
expected to net about SEE, 900, and
this amount, with the s4s, 900 in the
treasury, will practically complete the
sum which the ladies having the mat

The defense in the case of ex-Mayor
Ames Of Minneapolis, who is now on
trial for bribery and extortion will
not attempt to deny the charges made
but will put in the plea of insanity.
The story of the ex-mayor's life re.
veals 3 career of dissipation and Of ia
miliarity with crime that is almost un
paralleled. His career as mayor was
simply that of man who had utterly
lost the sense of self-respect, of man
from whom the last spark of manhood
had departed. If it be possible that
the last vestiRe Of self-respect and hon.
or can be eliminated from the heart OF
man then that man is A A.
Ames. He is not insane. He is sim
ply moral pervert and for the sake
of mankind should be given the ex.
treme penalty of the law.

gold shipments are repotred within

fiscal year will show approximately 1
per cent earned on the entire capital
and as the preferred is limited to 4 per

good showing, both the gross and net
increases are considerably larger than
the average gain for the nine months

The pistol carrying habit is respon-
sible for many accidents that become
tragedies. Unless a man is bent on
committing murder CT has cause to be-
lieve that assassins are on his track,
there is absolutely no excuse for carry

his grip. Thousands of young men

MAINE FOREST RESERVES.
Private Ownership Discouraged by
Local Hunters.

Maine and New Hampshire do not
yet suffer from the tendency of the
times among millionaires to purchase
the great forest tracts and set them
apart for their private uses. However
much this may be so in the Adiron-
Gacks, and however much it may be
becoming so in western Massachusetts
and Vermont, the two eastern states
have thus far escaped. And the hunts

and they We're the only ones who were
allowed a free hunt in the wilds. No
matter how big the game might be or
how tempting the chase might prove,
even the Maine guides who had roam
ed without restriction through the
great woods were forbidden to enter.
This stirred uphostile feelings through
out the state, and eventually when the
promoter died the vast tract again be-
came the hunting ground for Maine

Since then both state and individuals
have zealously guarded their interests
against any syndicate which would try
to repeat this experiment. Hunting
