WOMEN FIGHT OVER MONKEY.
Row Stirs Longacre square; Ends
in Police station.
From the New York Sun.


woman, young, yellow haired and
dressed in close fitting, black silk
princess gown, sat in a hanson cab in
front Of the new Hotel Astor, on Long
acre Square, about 10 o'clock last night,
with a monkey in her arms. defending
herself from the frantic rushes from
the sidewalk of another young woman
attired in white.
The girl in the cab Rugged the mon
key tightly to her breast, evading skill
fully sudden snatches made for the
covering little beast by the woman in
white. The monkey--it was a lady
monkey-was gowned in a Japanese
kimono, whose gorgeous reds match
ed the bloom on the nose of the stolid
cabby who did not attempt the role Of
peacemaker.
Stop. you hateful thing!" screamed
Princess Gown, as the woman in white
made one more fruitless effort to grab
the monk.
"She is my own, dear, sweet Evelyn.
l will not let you have her. I'll die
first"
You know that's a lie" said White
Dress glazing from the sidewalk.
She's my monkey, and her name is
Margaret. If you don't hand the child
over, you'll stand pretty good chance
of dying"
Attack and defense began again. Both
women screamed. The terrified monkey
chartered and gibbered. The CO bby
lost something of his stolidity and
clambered heavily down from his seat.
People rushed to the spot from up and
down Broadway Trolley cars stopped
in front of the hotel and curious folk
jumped out to see what was doing.
Along came Cop Rodihan Of the West
Forty-seventh street station, elbowing
the rubber necks aside
What's the row here?" he demand
ed, one hand restraining White Dress
from another assault upon Princess
Gowns defences. The difficulty was
explained in a torrent M fevered adiec-
tiVes and improper nouns. Rodihan
was puzzled. White Dress had an in
spiration.
"TH tell you what" said she. "If
you'll promise to keep our names secret
wen settle this whole thing by going
TO your police station and asking your
boss to artbitrate."
Rodihan said he was willing, provid-
ed no charge was preferred by either
woman. Detectives Martineau and Ba-
ker arrived at that juncture. They
regarded the monk with unfriendly
eyes as a disturber Of peace and traf-
hc.

are being closely watched by DR..
Nichols, who has made photographs
of one of his patients.
The effects of this poison are re-
markable and the symptoms frightful
in the extreme. The herb is a green
plant, grows to about twenty-four
inches in hight and when mature is
about thirty-six inches across the fat
top and yields an abundance of green
leaves, DIR. Nichols says.
1.-THE leaves are surrounded by light
err green and margfned with silvery
white. On breaking the twig a thick
milky juice Oozes out abundantly. This
milk it is that creates a disturbance
in the vasso motor nerves, or circu-
latory system.
This disturbance is characterized
by an inflammatory and feverish con-
dition and a development of purplish
crimson welts on the body, accom-
panied by itching and a sensation of
tightness of the skin. This condition
is constantly changing. but the worst
stage of the malady sets in about
twenty-four hours after contact with
the herb. One of the symptoms is the
nervous trembling of the fingers and
lips. The eruption which appears in
the form of little red ovals extend all
over the body, irritating and infiam-
ing the throat and ears.
THE symptoms are alarming and
produce feelings of fitful anxiety and
distress. The suddeness and unique
ness of the symptoms are a surprise
to everyone. Certain Indian tribes tip
ped their arrows with the vegeta Bile
poison.
There are 612 varieties of this plant
distributed through the temperate and
torrid zones, many of the varieties be-
ing seen in Savannah. A garden on
Jones street is full of the poisonous
herb. The south avenues In Laurel
Grove Cemetery are bordered in many
places with this plant.
1.-THE symptoms, white alarming, 8"
said DIR. Nichols yesterday, ARE never
fatal; sedatives internally and exter-
nally generally relieve the more dis
tressing symptoms"

BY r. NJ. Larner.

Washington. Aug. 16.--Among the
Presidents callers yesterday was Mai.
G. NJ. Ryals, a, good old-fashioned
Democrat from Savannah. A son of
Maj. Ryals, Edwin c. Ryals, is a re-
porter on a Washington paper, and he
is assigned to chronicle the days doings
at the White House.
While the major was making a call
upon his son, at the executive mansion.
it was suggested that the major go on
and pay his respects to the President.
The interview was easily arranged and
the major was introduced to the Pres
ident.
The President said he was always
glad to see visitors from Savannah. and
recalled the fact that he is related to
the well known Bulloch family of Sa-
vannah. In the course of the CONVEX
sation the major mentioned that he
was a friend of Col. A. L. Lawton.
who is a personal friend of the Pres
ident, in Savannah.
Instantly the President recalled a
story Col. Lawton told him a long time
ago. about a speech that Mai. RIVALS
once delivered in West Virginia. dur
ing an exciting campaign in which
the race question was a burning issue.
The President at once formed the con-
nection between that story and Mai
Ryals, and expressed his pleasure at
meeting the major.
In his West Virginia speech Mai
Ryals deplored the fact that so many

White Dress took up the tale.
Both she and Princess Gown lived

moved away, and simultaneously she
said, she missed her monkey Marga-

Of Broadway and Forty-fifth street,
she saw Princess Gown in a hanson
fondling a monkey she recognized as
her beloved Margaret. She was angry.
She lost her temper. She said things
and strapped.
Then Princess Gown told her story.
The name Of the monk was Evelyn,
she declared, and White Dress had no
claim to 1t.
The sharp-eyed sergeant saw the
monkey reaching out its skinny little
arms once or twice toward Princess
Gown during the flow of explanation.
