MONKEYS CAN THINK
MENTAL PROCESSES MUCH ALIKE

Professor Gamers ConcIusions-Has
Found chimpanzees That Talk
Tame chimpanzee Carries Keys of
a Plantation.
Professor r. l.. Garner told in lee
ture at Steinert hail. Boston. OF his
latest attempt in the study of monkey
or animal speech in his recent trip to
Africa. He reviewed his early efforts
to master the mysteries of monkey
speech with captive animals, the
growth of his interest and his deter
mination to seek out the animal in his
natives and under natural conditions.
His first trip in 1892 was largely ex-
ploratory and much of the time fruit
less for his special purposes. The last
trip was hampered by faulty arrange
ments, but was more fruitful of re-
suits
The chimpanzee and gorilla were
chosen for study. as being nearest,
structurally, to man, and possibly the
highest developed in speech, or at least
in intelligence. Contrary to general
belief, the gorilla is confined to an ex-
tremely small district and is rarely
found at elevations of more than twen-
ty-five feet above the sea level, inhab-
lively.
Gorillas never build huts, as has been
said of them. They are very rare ami
mails even in Africa, and only one liv-
ing specimen was ever exhibited in the
United States, and that in Boston, for
about day and half; dying five days
after its arrival.
The gorilla has been abandoned, vir-
tually, by Professor Garner, as an OBJ
ject Of systematic study, owing to the
infrequency of suitable opportuni-
ties
The chimpanzee is a more tractable
animal, much more numerous than the
gorilla, and has a much wider range.
though how wide, Professor Garner
has not been able to determine. The
best region for finding them is around
the Ogowe river, where the professor
purposes to return in a few months,
with supply arrangements permitting
uninterrupted attention to the object
of his trip. The lecturer gave graph
ic recital of his experiences in the jun
gle and the difficulties attending travel
along the African equator. His fam
GUS cage was on the platform. Its de-
tails were explained and some idea
given of the native and foreign resi-
dents and the customs of the region.
special word of praise was accord
ed the Portuguese residents he met
with there and their sympathetic aid
in his 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 mat
ter OF speech. A remarkable instance
was related of tame chimpanzee in
Africa which had been trained to
know all the keys of a plantation and
to use them. One of the keys was a
simple affair-little more than a square
steel plug-but 1t opened a cabinet con-
tanning eatables, and was the first key
to be used when given the bunch In
an impromptu exhibition of his pow
ers.
After time 1t was learned that the
animal was opening the cabinet on his
own hook. and it was found that he
would nibble stick down to the prop
er size and shape and with it would
open the cabinet. Professor Garner
promises to bring back as a result Of
his coming trip group of chimpan-
zeeS that can talk to some extent

Come, friends and neighbors," said
Joris cheerily, II will sing you song;
and every one knows the tune to It,,
and every one has heard their vaders
and their moeders sing it-sometimes,
perhaps, on the great dikes Of Vader-
land, and sometimes in their sweet
homes that the great Hendrick Hud-
son found out for them. Now, then,
all, song for
MOEDER HOLLAND.
We have taken our land from the sea,
Its fields are all yellow with grain.
Its meadows are green on the lea
And now shall we give 1t to Spain?
No. no. no. no!
We have planted the faith that Is pure,
That faith to the end we'll maintain:
For the word and the truth must endure.
Shall we bow to the pope and to Spain?
No, no, no, no!
Our ships are on every sea-
Our honor has never stain.
Our law and our commerce are free:
Are we slaves for the tyrant of Spain?
No. no. no, no!
Then sons of Batavia, the spade
The spade and the pike and the main,
And the heart and the hand and the blade.
Is there mercy for merciless Spaing
No. no. no. no!
By this time the enthusiasm was
wonderful The short, quick denials
came hotter and louder at every
verse; and it was easy to understand
how these large, slow men, once
kindled to white heat. were both IRE
sistible and unconquerable. Every eye
was turned to Joris, who stood in his
massive, manly beauty very con-
en- fu1
OF feeling and purpose, his large blue
eyes limpid and shining; and. as the
tumult Of applause gradually ceased,
he said:
my friends and neighbors, no poet
am l.; but always wrongs burns in the
heart until plain prose can not utter
them. Listen to me. II we wrung
the Great Charter and the right Of
self-taxation from Mary in A. d. 1477;
II in A. d. 1872 we taught Alva, by
force of arms. how dear to US was
our maxim, No taxation without rep
resentation,'
Shall We give up our long cherished right?
Make the blood of our fathers in vain?
Do % we fear any tyrant to fight?
Shall we hold out our hands Tor the
chain?
No. no. no. no,
Even the women had caught fire at
this allusion to the injustice Of the
Stamp Act and Quartering Acts, then
hanging over the liberties of the Prov
ince; and Mrs. Gordon looked curious
ly and not unkindly at the latent
rebels. England will have foemen
worthy Of her steel, II she turns these
good friends into enemies" she re-
fected.
The emotion was too intense to be
prolonged; and Joris instantly pushed
back his chair. and said, Now, then,
friends. for the dance. Myself | think
not too old to take out the BRIDE
Neil Semple, who had looked like a
man in a dream during the singing,
went eagerly to Katherine as soon as
Joris spoke of dancing. He felt
strong enough" he said. "to tread a
measure in the brides dance, and he
hoped she would so far honor him."
mo. will not, Neil. will not take
your hands. Often have told you
that"
Just for tonight. forgive me. Kath-
crime"
81 am sorry that all must end so;
I cannot dance any more with you:"
and then she affected to hear her
mother calling, and left him standing
among the jocund crowd. hopeless and
distraught with grief.

she must grin and exercise ingenuity to
place her fullness where it will do the least

is to have them fashioned into a rounded

A Prosperous Organization That Has
Survived the Thirteen HoOdOO.

The William Mckinley Club gave a lawn
fete on East Michigan street opposite its
clubhouse last night which 800 people ct
tended. The proceeds of the affair are to de-
fray the expenses Of the club and to pur-
chase new furniture. A special programme
had been arranged by acting President
George Snyder. consisting of music, recita-
tons and history Of the club, by Attorney
NJ. L. Clawson.
Mr.. Clawson said that the club was or
ganized three years ago under the name of
the East End Republican Club, but the
name was changed last year to the present
one I'm honor of the martyred President. In
the beginning the club numbered thirteen
members and any ordinary club could not
have lived under this handicap, but the club
at the present time numbers 800. He said
the club stood for all that was good in poll
tics and was organized with the aim in
view of building up the Republican party in
that ward, to bring the voters together and
make recruits, and to put good men in Of

BREAK Her ALL UP, LORD
HOLINESS AUDIENCE SHOUTED AS A
WOMAN STRUGGLED.
Pessimistic Sermon Preached by the
Rev. j. e. Miller, Who Gave a Vivid
Picture of HelI-Fire.
The members of the Holiness Association

The members of the Holiness Association
continue to hold sway at Greenwood Park
and the attendance at all the meetings is
constantly growing. There are over a hum
dred people in camp and the tents are fill
ing SO rapidly that the managers are won
dering what to do with the new arrivals.
The meeting last night was led by Rev. J..
L. Miller, Of Indianapolis, who discussed
'.Sin," and the results of wrong-doing. The
service took on some OF the fervor char
acteristic of the meetings In charge of Mr..
Hatfield, and while the enthusiasm was a
tribe more stinted than at those
gatherings. there was much shouting.
George Hitz, candidate for mayor on the
Prohibition ticket, occupied a seat. on the
platform at the meeting last night and
shouted and clapped his hands and sang
with the vigor of a Methodist preacher of
the forties.
Rev. Seth c. Rees. of Chicago. presided
and made a few remarks prior to the Open
Ing Of the service. He advised those on the
grounds not TO visit too much but to pray
good results from the session. He explained
that certain books had been a great help
TO him ever since he had become sancti-
fed. Just before introducing the speaker
of the evening, Mr.. Rees asked that no
conversation be held during the service
either inside or out of the pavilion. and as
he looked at crowd of boys who were
seated on a stand complacently watching
proceedings the evangelist asked that no
one smoke within 200 feet of the tabernacle,
as. he declared, 1t was very annoying.
MADE A STRONG APPEAL.
Rev. Miller. who is in charge of a mis-
sion in this city, made a strong appeal to
the large audience to harken unto the
word and drew numerous word pictures OF
the sad end to which men and women had
come through sin. "You can see marks
OF sin the faces of men and women
everywhere" declared the speaker, land
you don't have to go to the slums alone
See what sin has done for Indianapolis
which was once one of the finest cities
I'm the country. 1t is just the same I'm the
colleges as in the slums. and just as bad In
the country as towns God has his eye on
you and unless you become filled with
the spirit you will be lost"
The sermon of Mr.. Miller was pessimistic
In the extreme. He related his own per-
sona1 experience OF what drink and other
vices had done for him and became greatly
wrought up as he pleaded for converts In
concluding he said that God had kept him
from wild fire and fanaticiSm and in the
