An Odd Competition

| An intelligent animals competition has been held in Paris by a society whose members believe that dumb ani- mals have reasoning faculties. They believe that animals while acting me- chanically in some cases and instinct lively in others, are also capable or
 forming associations of ideas, which one philosophical school holds to be the foundation of reason. In the late contest trained learned" animals were not rewarded. The judges consider that trick performing creatures. taught by laborious and often cruel methods, do not thus show read intelligence. Dozens of dogs which lwent through hoops, and fowls which danced the polka were sent up to the show but, much to the surprise of their owners, took no prizes. The silver gilt first medal went to Japanese dog, which gave a different bark and made a dif- ferent gesture to express various wants: for instance. putting Its paws to it's jaws with a peculiar yapping when it was hungry. 1t thus showed unbounded capacity for forming asso-
 ciations of ideas. The silver second medal was bestowed jointly on dog. a cat and hen, which played absolutely like children with their mistress. She had a game of football with them in
 the presence of the judges. and the an
 imals enjoyed it thoroughly. whereas the idea of play and make believe is often supposed to be peculiarly human.

 There are evidences of a, studied movement to create the impression that Lieutenant Governor Cunningham may withdraw from the contest for Governor in favor of some other candidate. Of course this is all for purpose, but 1t will fail to accomplish what is intend- ed.

When Prince Charles-or Karl of Denmark, agreed to become King of Norway. he paid a delicate compliment to the old independent sentiment of the little kingdom by assuming the title of Hakon. or Haakon VII. The last King of Norway while it was an independ- ent Kingdom, was Hakon VII, who died in 1880. more than a century before Columbus discovered America. Then the kingdom was united to Sweden and ceased to be independent. Now, after more than five centuries have passed, Norway again becomes a separate and independent nationality and the new King goes back to the old title of a for uler period.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1905.

The Baltimore Sun, commenting on Bishop Turner's latest impassioned ap- peal to the negroes to go back to Af- riea and build ,Hp nation of their own, asks why the Bishop does not .'show them the way over, if he is so anxious for them to go. We'll, as 8 matter of fact. says The Savannah News. ''the Bishop has shown them the way over, and the way hae1Magaip' If we remember rightly he went t9 Africa-to. Liberia some years ago, and then speedily came back to Georgia again. The Bishop thinks he can do more good by telling others to go than by going himself. If he were in Africa there would be none left behinI to preach the emigration with so much force and earnestness."

 Fra Diavolo is abroad again, striking terror to the hearts of travellers and home keepers in Spain.

In broad daylight they recently footed business man at Seville. That un- fortunate gentleman, threatened with death in his shop, was. compelled to give the scoundrels 5000 pesetas Where were the police? That is what the Spanish public are asking with anything but good temper
 It is curious. too, says The Boston Transcript, how cool Fra DiaVolo can be. An illustrated newspaper, The Madrid Nuevo Mudo, lately sent one of its reporters to take photographs of band of brigands. led by one Vi villo. who had been terrorizing the countryside in Andalusia Vivillo well comed the reporter with charming cordiality and got his brigands to nose for the group. The picture was actu- ally published, with star to mark Vivi1lo, and the readers of The Nuevo Mundo are asking louder than ever, where are the police?'

Services Of MT. smith.

"The people of Montgomery who are music-lovers," declared musician yes- terday, should be grateful for one thing, and that is the good work now being done by James Smith, the well known musicisa. who is directing the Montgomery City Band. It is purely out of generosity that he is giving his services as band conductor. He does not get cent of compensation, l un- derstand, but manifests probably more interest than a paid leader. don't see how paid conductor could make much more progress than he is making and has made with the band he has taken charge of. He is energetic, pa- tient and communicative, and his stu dents in the band tell me he knows all that is necessary to turn out an ex- cellent set of instruments. He works hard and continuously. It's true that he has brought together about the best amateur talent in the city, but simply assembling this talent is not all. The music has got to be extracted and be- fore it is extracted the players must be taught carefully every single piece that is offered. Out of the band which has advanced as far as this one Mont gomery can expect a rival of any anna teur aggregation in the Sopth. Let's all give it a pull and make it the best"
