Preferred suIeIde to pIsgrnee.

New York, Aug. l5.-Broodlng over
undeseryed disgrace due to charges OF
treachery during the South African
war, James Currau, a sIlyersmith aud
a veteran OF the South African war for
merly with the Boer army, has COM
mitted suicide IN his Brooklyn lodging.
Curran was native Of Ireland When
the war between Great Britain and the
Beers broke out he was at work IN the
Kimberley mines. he had saved a
small competence ana contributing this
to the Boer cause, raised a company
of scouts Of which he became captain.
This company was successful for a
time, but In skirmish before Lady
smith, the whole company was wiped
out, all of the members being either
killed or captured by the British,
Capt. Curran was made a prisoner,
but within a week he escaped and re-
turned to the Boer army There he was
accused Of having led his men into
trap He was found guilty and was
sentenced to be shot but escaped two
days before the proposed execution.
Making his way TO Cape Town, cur
ran took ship for America and secured
employment.
few weeks ago Curran gave away
his sword, remarkng to a friend that
he could not bear the sight Of it long,
er. as It continuously reminded him Of
undeserved disgrace.

Displays a Wonderful Intelligence
That is Almost
Human
HE IS AT HOME IN ARITHMETIC.
Can Discriminate Twelve Different
COlors--AlsO Distinguishes
Musical Tones.

Berlin, Aug. l3.-Wilhelm Won Os-
ton, who has for long time made in
vcstigation OF the intelligence Of ami
mails, has reached results IN educating
an Orion stallion that caused amaze
ment among scientific men. Some OF
those who have tested the mental pow
ers of the animal are Dr. studt, the
Prussian minister Of education Prof.
George Sweinforth, the famous ART
can traveller, Prof Karl Stumpf Of the
Berlin university; Herr Schillngs, the
naturalist, and Ludwig Heck, director
Of the Berlin geological garden.
The horse, besides adding, subtract
ing, multiplying and dividing sums
does examples involving several OF
those operations, and not only simply
repeats what Is taught but solves fresh
problems put to him by examiners In
the absence OF his master showing a
grasp Of the principles Of arithmetic.
The stallion also forms little sent
onces, remembers them next day and
discriminates twelve Colors and shades,
giving their corresponding names The
animal distinguishes musical tones, in
dlCatlng where they are situated on
the chromatc scale and picks out dis
cords designating which tone to omit
In order 10 restore harmony. The horse
communicates by system OF hoof
beats representing the alphabet.
Prof Seedlings has taken much in
terest In displaying the horses &C.
cOmplishments TO other scientists. Or
Studt says Herr Won Osten would have
been burned at the stake in the earlier
ages OF the world. When the exercises
are prolonged the horse becomes nery-
Gus and inattentive, mistakes being
n equent.
Prof Won Osten aflrms 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 q
commission Of specialists be selected
to take the horse under observation for
four weeks. This probably will be done
with the view Of determining whether
the conventional idea is true, that ami.
mai instinct and human intelligence are
essentially different,

REPUBLICAN
CAMPAIGN BOOK.
Party Feels Justified in Asking
Support Of People on Four
Great Facts,
HAS REDEEMED ITS PLEDGES.
1t Also Contains a Sketch of Life of
President Roosevelt and Of
Senator Fairbanks

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Repub-
lican campaign text book OF 1904 is just
about to be issued, The following is "A
synopsis % the book prepared by the
Republican campaign committee;
THE four great facts" It says,
(which justified the Republican party
in asking the support Of the public in
1900 We're: First, that It's pledges Of
1896 had been redeemed; second, that
prosperity had come as a result third,
that developments since 1896 had
shown the falacy Of the principles up
on which the Democracy then appealed
for public support and fourth the
condition which had come to other
parts Of the world and their people as
a result Of promise fulfilled BY the Re-
publican party I'm the United States.
These assertions made IN the text book
OF 1900 have been fully Justified by the
added experiences OF another -four
years, The pledges of 1896 and those
made IN 1900 have been redeemed. The
protective tariff has been restored, the
gold standard made permanent, Cuba,
lIttQ ana given lnuPptlucllttt lht
Panama canal assured under the sole
ownership and control Of the United
States, d department " commerce and
labor established rural free delivery
given to millions Of the agricultural
community; the laws for the proper
regulation Of trusts and great corpor-
ations strengthened and enforced;
prosperity established commerce de-
veloped labor protected and given am
pie employment and reward intelli-
gence, prosperity and good government
este blshed in distant islands and tho
flag Of the United states made the en-
blem Of honor in every par, NJ the
world. Al OF these great ACCOMPLISH
ments have been the work of the Re-
publican party. In each of them 1t has
met the disbursement, the opposition
and the hostilities Of the Democracy, IL
is upon this additional evidence Of the
past four years, evidence that the Re-
publican party is the party NJ progress
and the Democracy the party Of mac
ton, retardment, fault finding, that the
party again confidently appeals for
public support In the presidential cleo
tons Of 1904"
The hook also contains a sketch OF
the life and works Of President Roose-
Welt and Of Senator Fairbanks.
