HORSE POSSESSES
WONDERFUL SENSE
WONDERFUL ANIMAL is MASTER
OF ARITHMETIC, CAN DlSTlN-
GUlSH MUSICAL TONES AND
FORM ORIGINAL SENTENCES.

Berlin, August 13.-Wilhelm Won osten,
who has for long time made .investiga-
lions of the intelligence of animals has
reported results In an Orfelan stallion that
has caused amazement among scientific
men, Some of those who have tested the
mental powers of the animal are DIR.
Studt, Prussian minister of education.
Prof. George Sehweinfurter,' the famous
African traveller, Prof Karl Stumpf, of
the Berlin university and Herr Schllllngs,
the naturalist.
The horse besides adding, subtracting.
multiplying and dividing sums, does ex-
amples involving several of these opera
lions, finds square numbers and not only
simply repeats what is taught but does
fresh problems put to him by examiners
in the absence of his master, showing a
grasp Of the peeuliarities of arithmetic.
The stallion also forms little sentences,
remembers them next day and diserimi-
mates twelve colors and shades, giving
their corresponding names. The animal
distinguishes musical tones, indicating
their situation on the chromatic scale
and picks out discords. designating which
tone to omit in order to restore harmony
The horse communicates by system of
hoof beats representing the alphabet
When the questions are prolonged the
horse becomes nervous and inattentative
and mistakes become more frequent. Pro-
fessor Won Osten affirms that the horse
is as well educated as a boy who has
gone to school for the same number of
years and the professor desires that
committee of specialists be selected to
take the horse under observation for four
weeks. This probably will be done with
view of determining whether the So
called animal instinct and human intel
ligence are essentially different.

ACTION EFFECTS
$4,000 PRINTERS
ACTION ON EIGHT-HOUR PROPOSE
TIoN is PRE-EMINENT IN WORK
DONE BY INTERNATIONAL TYPO.
GRAPHICAL UNION.

ST. Louis, August 13.-(Worlds Fair
Grounds 1.-THE work of the fftieth annual
convention of the International Typo
graphical union which adjourned sine die
today resulted IN the complete revision of
many of the general laws embodied in the
constitution that will have far-reaching
effect on the printers trade.
The action favoring the eight-hour day
stands out -eminently bold If the
referendum, on which this proposition has
been placed for final decision concurs
with the convention, as the delegates be-
lieve 1t will. 45O 600 union printers through
out Canada and the United States will be
affected 1t is provided that the law shall
go into effect January 1, 1906, and a fund
Is to be raised by assessment to stand the
expense of a strike, II It should be found
After lengthy discussion today In which
the internal affairs of printing offices fig
ured as prominent factor, the conyen-
tion sustained the decision of the execu-
tive council, which decision upheld the
action of New Orleans foreman in dis
charging a certain printer on the ground
of alleged incompetency. The delegates
who opposed the decision asserts that the
printer in question had been discharged
by the foreman because of personal feel
ing.
Thee onvention's action establishes a
precedent which 1t is said will make 1t
necessary for a man working In any de-
partment of union printing office to be
absolutely competent to perform the work
required of him.
The convention then adjourned sine die
to meet In Toronto, Canada, in the Sec
ond week of August, 1905.

HON. ADAM BYRD
Is RENOMINATED
FIFTH MISSISSIPPI DISTRICT GOES
ON RECORD AS BEING OPPOSED
TO THE NEGRO POLICY OF PRES
IDENT ROOSEVELT.

Meridian, Miss, August 13-The Fifth
congressional convention of Mississippi
met here today, renomnated the Hon.
Adam Byrd for another term in congress,
adopted resolutions touching national af-
fairs, endorsing the course of Judge
Byrd In congress and the administration
of Governor Vardaman and condemning
the negro policy of President Roosevelt.
That portion of the resolutions relating
to the race question met with opposition
in the committee. a majority favorins
silence on the matter. Gen. w. d. Cam
eron, the author of the race issue resolu-
ton, insisting upon its Incorporation, but
was voted down. AS a result a minority
report was submitted to the convention
and a lively debate ensued, General Cam
eron advocating the minority report and
Hon. A. B. Amis the opposition.
The minority report was adopted and
the fifth congressional convention is
therefore on record as regarding the
Roosevelt negro equality policy as Az
issue in the impending campaign and as
strongly opposed to the Presidents course
concerning the negro. Those who oppos-
ed the resolution took the position that
IL would not be wise on the part of south
ern democrats to push to the front the
race problem, holding that the demo-
Gratis of the north and east held diff
ferent views on the subject and that con-
tinous agitation of the question might
result in a loss to the democratic ticket
in November.
Congressman Byrd had no opposition
for the nomination and will have things
all his way at the polls in November
The county democratic convention met
today at noon for the transaction of rou-
tine business and the election of congress
sonal committee members.
Sam Davis, a colored switchman. fell
from a freight car in the yarcs here this
morning and had both legs broken just
above his ankles.

Henderson, a we'll known negro of Bes-

car tonight at 1870 o'clock near vining
