MONKEYS MAKE
TRIP A HORROR
SHIP LOOTED, COOK DRIVEN To-
SUICIDE AND CREW TORMENT
ED BY ONE HUNDRED SIMIANS.

NEW YORK, september 9.-An I'M
usual story of the sea was brought
here by the steamer Montrose, just in
from Yokohama on her maiden voyage.
For a week a hundred monkeys made
life a living horror for everybody, and
finally drove the Chinese cook, Hoy
Sing, to suicide.
Two hundred monkeys, in wicker
cases, twenty in each cage, were
brought by the ships officers to sell
here. The monkeys were placed in
charge of Hoy Sing. He carelessly left
one cage open on August 10th. Twenty
monkeys escaped and undid the fas-
Jennings to other cages until they had
released nearly a hundred more of the
beasts. Hoy Sing appeared at this
juncture.
The liberated simians scattered and
pandemonium broke loose. The ships
captain ordered the Chinese crew and
all officers out to try and round up the
runaways, but the animals took up the
rigging and the men were forced to
give up the chase.
That night the monkeys came down
from aloft and looted the ship. They
sacked the galley and attacked every
Chinese that wasn't hidden in a
locker or cabin. Hoy Sing, the keeper
was singled out for special attention.
This kept up for a week, before the
end of which time Hoy Sing, half
crazed, leaped overheard and was
drowned. Every one else suffered, as
sleep or rest was impossible. Finally
the monkeys were starved into submits
mission, Over forty died of starvation
or fell overheard in attempting to es-
cape their pursuers.

Boom Your Town.

The following card, sent out by a
Detroit commercial club, is worth read
ing and pasting in your hat: ''If there
is any chance to boom business, boom
it. Don't pull long face and look as
though you had sour stomach. Hold
up your head, smile and look for better
things. Hide your little hammer and
try to speak we'll of others, no matter
how email you know yourself to be.
When a stranger drops in jolly him,
tell him 1t is the greatest town on earth.
Don't discourage him by speaking i'll
of your neighbors. Lead him to believe
that he has at last struck a place where
white people live. Don't knock. Help
yourself along by becoming popular
and push your friends with you. Be
good fellow and soon you will have a
procession of followers. No man ever
helped himself by knocking other peo-
pie down in character or business. No
man ever got rich by trying to make
others believe he was the only man in
town who knew anything. You can't
climb the ladder of success by treading
on other peoples corns."

Letter to Sheriff HemphilI.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: You are so well known
that the people have put you in office.
They knew what they were about: They
didn't do it by accident.
Wouldn't it be handsome thing to do
to paint your house? 1t is nice house,
has good substantial commodious look
and it isn't rusty at all, you know; but a
fresh coat of paint would make it so
bright! it's pity not to.
Devoe is beautiful paint, but the beauty
of it is: it lasts so long, and does so much
more than adorn an already interesting
and attractive edifce. House, outbuild-
ings and fences There isn't man or
woman in town, who wouldn't see them
and make some pleasant remark.
OF course you will paint the town
property; nothing would make your ad-
ministration more, in the eyes of the peo-
pie; and having done the same thing at
home, it is the most natural thing in the
world to do it for them.
Yours truly

TO CATARRH SUFFERERS.
Hoymei Guaranteed to Cure by
L. TapPart or Money Refunded.

Hoymei Guaranteed to Cure by
L. Taggart or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
mails Of medicine Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remedy
that the proprietors have authorized L.
Taggart to sell every package of Hy-
omei under an absolute guarantee that
it will cure catarrh. If it does not, the
purchaser can have his money refunded
by L. Taggart.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, a bal
samic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs in the breathing organs, enriches
and purifies the blood with additional
ozone, and makes permanent and
complete cure of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket a medi-
cine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei.
The inhaler lasts lifetime, and if one
bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of
Hyomei can be obtained for 90 cents.
1t is the most economical of all RENE
| dies advertised for the cure of catarrh,
and is the only one that follows Nature
in her methods of treating diseases of
| the respiratory organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for few
minutes four times a day, and your
| catarrh is cured. That's all.
If not cured, L. Taggart will refund
| your money.

The Mans Life Story.

Thru this proceeding the interesting
story of Smiths life% came to light.
About fifty years ago George Smith.
then called Schmidt, came to the. United
States from Hamburg, Germany, and
settled in New York. Shortly before
the war he met l5-year-old Magdalena
Schmitt and fell in love with her. On
account of her age her parents made
many objections to Smith IS keeping
company with her, and he finally en-
listed in the Thirty-frst regiment, New
York volunteers. After he had en-
listed he and Magdalena were married,
it is alleged, and after the war he came
back to New York and lived with her
for about eighteen years. Eight chill
dren resulted from their union.
About 1879, it is alleged, he left her,
and was not heard Of again until a
few months ago, when Mrs. Smith made
application to the pension bureau for
a Widows pension. The bureau took
up the case, and, after making rigid
investigation, located Smith in McKees-
port, where he has been living for
many years. He married a second wife
and they have large family, some of
whom have gained their maturity.
When the pension bureau brought the
matter Of the first wife's existence to
light, Smith made an affidavit in Nc
Keesport to the effect that he was
never previously married. The pen
sion bureau followed up the case, and
