eEN. BAKER 70 RErIRE.
From Huntington Herald and Haworth
to Be Sole Owner
Huntington Advertiser.

Huntington Advertiser.1
For several weeks past various deals
for the purchase of controlling inter-
est in the Huntington Herald hate
been in progress, and even those who
were familiar with the situation have
been in doubt as to Just what hands
the paper would finally land. A deal
has now, however, been definitely COM
pleted, whereby the one.half interest
which was owned by General s. B. Ba-
ker has been sold to his partner,
Dr.. C. E. Haworth, who now controls
the destinies of the paper. DR.. Ha-
worth will be in sole charge Of the pa
per after next Monday. General Baker
will probably for a time at least de-
vote himself to the work Of the adtu-
tant generals ONCE, which position he
now holds. No immediate changes
will be made on the stan Of the paper
so far as is Known.
The Herald will support Elkins and
probably oppose Hughes.
Negotiations were under way for a
time by which the Hughes and anti
ukins people were to obtain control
Of the paper, but these fell through
some time ago, and for the immediate
future at least, the Herald will support
the State administration, Elkins for
Senator, and probably Hite for con.
gress.

THE STAGE.
ToNIeAr
The Much Discussed and Highly
Praised Production Of "Ths Black
Hand.

. H ! b. a
Much has been said in praise Of
kathryn Purnell and her company pf
twenty clever people that WIN hold
forth at the Grandd for both mAtines
and evening to-day presenting the
newest Of melodramas "The Black
Hand" The subject around which the
play Is written is not new to readers
Of this paper and which seems likely
to furnish abundant material for .
stage story, and in this particular case
it Is said the author has made the
most Of the opportunities offered and
an intensely interesting production Is
the result. The star, company and
play comes here with the genuine ap-
proyal from the press in different cities
and it is but fair to predict that large
audience will be in attendance this
evening, and while the play itself
seems to be of sufficient merit, 1t is
said that numerous specialties intro
duced throughout the evening go q
long way toward making the perform
ance thoroughly enjoyable.

The British Consul General at Genoa
advocates the establishing of a Brit
ish chamber Of commerce at that port
for the purpose Of strengthening Eng
lish trade relations with Italy and to
successfully compete with other coun'
tries. He claims that such an institu-
ton would be very useful in selecting
agents for British export firms and
safeguarding them against swlndling
agents and firms in Italy.

: The pigmy broaght to America
by Rev. Samuel Phillips Werner and
told about in The State some time
ago, is causing endless trouble.
Preachers have raved about it, stu
dents of natural history have studied
it and the pigmy is picking up
enough knowledge of civilization to
acquire money to buy wife when
he goes back to the wilds of Africa.
The little fellows name is Ota Benga
and he was found in 1904 on one of
the southern tributaries of the Congo
by Mr.. Werner, the African explorer,
who is connected with the American
&eum of natural history, but his
Sezzing to New York was an acoi-
don't. He was in the hands OF the
hostile cannihsl;stic tribe of the Bas-
ohiide. He was slated to be the
chief Wand at feast. Mr.. Werner
rescued him by paying price in
calico and beads, and Ota Benga be-
came willing servant. He was the
son of chief of the pigmy tribe.
He had been twice married, though
only %. His first wife was eaten up
by cannibals. His second wife died
from the sting of an African viper, a
very beautiful snake, of which Ota
e<scted later q terrible vengeance
by bringing him to the New York
Geological park to pass his days in
captivity. 1t was the intention of
Mr.. Werner to return the pigmy to
his own land, but ne could not do it,
And finally Ota wanted to come to
America with him as his servant, the
understanding being that he should
return TO Africa later with Mr.. Ver-
ner and to his own country. He was
turned over to the museum of natu-
raj history until Mr.. Werner returns
to Africa and that is where the trou-
BILE started.
HIS LOVE FOR MONEY.
One of the New York papers, in
speaking of his love for money, al
ready acquired, says:
elf a photographer wants him to
pose he must first produce money.
He will not show himself on special
occasions unless he is given coin.
Reporters have to shell out quarters
every few minutes or he becomes
absent. The general crowd in the
park sees him, however, as he haunts
the monkey-house. He is saving the
money religiously to buy a wife
when he gets back to Africa. There
is no sign of native cruelty about
him. He will probably treat the
little black girl that he buys with
consideration far above what she
could expect from lord and master
who had not travelled as Ota has.
"When the sun came up yesterday
morning Ota Benga was missed from
his room in the Primate's house.
He had gone out clothed in his uni,
form of army khaki, for few hours
in the jungle of woods back of the
monkey house. There he has made
African traps for squirrels of twigs
