Yesterday was the first day Of the 90

and many persons who went out to the
grounds thought that the day for the new
rule to go into effect had fallen very ap-
propriately on All Fools Day.
Gatemen at the stiles had their hands
full all day explaining to indignant visit
ors. that It required twice the amount OF
money To enter the grounds yesterday that
It did the preceding day. Many of the
visitors seemed to think that the demand
for half-do!li.r was sort of April fool

petrate on them.

admission the beautiful weather proved
an incentive to many to visit the grounds

Representatives Who Feel Like
Having q Good Time.

There are Is men who began their
service in the house in the Fifty-third
congress and who have served contin-
uously since and are now entering upon
their sixth term. For ten years they
have been associated with each other.
and the fact that SO many beginning at
that time should be reelected for five
successive times has started some talk
about the formation of club, some
thing like the Tantalus club, which
should give a dinner once or twice dur
ing the winter. The difficulty with the
Tantalus club is that It continues to
grow on account of new members.
The Fifty-third Congress club cannot
grow and is bound to decrease in num-
bers. Those who are eligible to the
Fifty-third Congress club are Adams, OF
Pennsylvania; Babcock, of Wisconsin;
Bartholdt, Of Missouri; Cooper, of Wis

seated to Philadelphia Academy
OF Natural Sciences.

The Darwinian theory of the descent
of man may soon be studied at close
range, owing to generosity Of promi-
nent Philadelphia, DR.. Thomas Biddle,
who has just returned from Europe with
what is believed to be the most COM
plete collection of anthropoid apes ever
owned by one person. The specimens
were obtained from various sources aid
prepared by the German taxidermist.

strength and ferocity when cornered 1t
has been most difficult even to obtain
a dead specimen Of the gorilla family,
it being necessary to risk life in order
to track it to its lair in the interior OF
Africa. The specimen secured by DR..
Biddle was SHOT by a venturesome Ger
man, George Zenker, near the Yaunde
station, Western Africa, little to the
north of the equator.
The New York Tribune says that the

To some monkeys, despite their lack OF
good looks, the expr sssion "cute" may
apply, but it is no. possible to so de-
scribe the gorilla. with his fiat nose
enormous jaws and Hotruding teeth
the thick neck and bullying chest. this
ape is far from the human ideal OF 8
handsome animal.
When he can, the gorilla will run
from a man, and as no one has been
particularly anxious to come to close
quarters with him, it is not possible to
speak with assurance of his mode OF
life. 1t is said that he travels for the
most part on all tours, and only rises
on his hind legs to resist attack. 1t
is also said that he builds himself q
home in the trees.
The collection contains three speci'
mems of the chimpanzee. One Is the
ordinary chimpanzee, another the bald
chimpanzee and the third a variety
called the Koola Ka.nba.
The chimpanzees are more intelligent
than the gorilla, and have been trained
in captivity to do tricks. Naturalists
have been long 1T odds as to the number
of their species, as we'll as those Of the

RELIC OF THE PAST.
TIE Talamancans a Forgotten Peo-
pie of the Isthmus.
Their Ancient Usages and Customs
Have Not Been Affected by Four
Centuries Of Medieval Span.
ish Civilization.

Within less than 100 miles Of where
the United States intends to complete
the greatest interoceanic ditch the
world has seen, in territory where the
newly created republic of Panama is
situated, there dwells an Indian nation
that is to all intents and purposes
identically the same to-day as it was
when Columbus first discovered the
western hemisphere. These are the
Talamancans, who inhabit few square
miles in the mountains almost midway
between the two oceans and but COM
paratively short distance from the
Panama railroad, though it is much to
be doubted if they have ever seen it or
are aware of it's existence. The Scien-
tiflc American says that although for
upward OF four centuries the medieval
civilization of Spain has surrounded
them on all sides, they have neither
been contaminated by its influence nor
exterminated by it's kindness, as was the
case in Cuba and other Spanish colonies.
Their language is still their own, and
seems to have lost little of it's original
character through contact with the ex-
ecrable mixture of English, Spanish and
French spoken by the lower classes
throughout the West Indies and along
the Spanish Main. Living in virtually
an unknown region, at least three days
journey from the nearest settlement,
their solitude is seldom broken. The
visitor is received with the greatest hos
pitality, and is welcome as long as he
desires to remain. Their visits to the
outer world are infreQuent, rarely ex-
tending beyond the nearest port, and are
undertaken only in quest OF luxuries.
Extra fowls and porkers are bartered on
these occasions for tobacco, gewgaws
and ammunition. The spear and blow
gun are used more than firearms for
various reasons. The former are not
only infinitely cheaper, but usually more
effective in the hands OF the Indian than
the cheap Misunderstanding fowling piece
of French or German origin with its pa
per-like barrel-the only arm he can
afford to purchase besides the machete.
Their language and customs in some
respects resemble those Of the score or
more of widely differing peoples that
are scattered over the territory lying
between the Mexican border and the
isthmus. Their ancestors doubtless
