The Smallest Kangaroo.

1t is authoratively stated that the
smallest Kangaroo ever exhibited in
America is to be seen in the imperial
triple menagcries with Cole Brothers
United Shows. which will exhibit
Friday afternoon and evening Oclob-
er II. in Ncwberry. "NIitc', the name
by which The baby is known, al
though five months old is not as large
as a gray squirrel and rs may be en-
pectcd passes nearly all of It's time
concealed in It's mothers pouch.
There are moments whcnt the tiny fcl-
low ventures out upon the floor Of
the cage and to watch it attempt to
initiate the parent is most amusing.
The latter keeps Il watchlul eye upon
the infant and, whenever any person
approaches close to the guard rope,
will hastily gather up and place the
little one back in its sack. A few
minutes clapse and then "Mite" may
be seen thrustin" its small head into
view and pceping around with the cut
est expression imaginable upon it's
face. So far as known this is the
only baby marsupialia ever seen in
This country and il is needless to add
that Messrs. Cole Brothers regard it
one of the prizes in their colossal
travelling ZOO. Especially interesting
will "Mitc' prove to school children
and all students Of natural history.

Wild Bactrian Camel.

One OF the rare and strange curl
osities in the tri pie menageries of
Cole Brothers United Shows, which
are scheduled to give an afternoon
and evening" performance Friday Oc-
tobcr - in Newberry is wild black
l}actran camel. Taller than a full
grown elephant. and as ierociouS as
any four-to"ted man-eating animal,
the beast is justly called the most IT,
tantir bumped marvel ever exhibited.
Agents for Cole Brothers made the
capture near the Lake Of Lob Nor, u
section sometimes termed "the uniin-
isl"d REGIONS on the roof of the old
w"rld. AS far back as the subject
can be traced this is the first wild
camel ever brought to this country
and the only black one ever seen any
where in public. Made captive last
December it is just as wild to-day
as ii was when at liberty and expert
enced animal tanners unhestitatingly
voice the opinion that no amount Of
kindness or harsh treatment will ever
subdue ii. 1t is an exceptionally fine
specimen, lis huge towering" body be-
ing covered with Il heavy growth OF
long hair as black as the feathers Of
the blackcSt crow. It's limbs are large
and powerful and II mad elephant can
not cause more trouble and damage
than this giant when its temper is
aroused. 1t already has Il record as
disahcr of men, having recently sent
three "f its keepers in one day to
the hospital in birmingham, Ala.
Every prccaution, however, is taken
to guard visitors against harm in Cole
Brothers menagcries. the camel being
kept alone in secure and strongly
built enclosure around which armed
guards are ever on duty.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

M UGH is being said and written about the
a mpracteablty OF municipal ownership.
Those who are opposed to the principle assure us
with degree Of complacency, that it is doomed
to failure and they always quick to cite in
stances OF reputed failures. 1t is never wise to
draw hasty conclusions, especially in the absence
OF reliable data lin many cases, those charged
with the dut yoi carrying ont these proposed re-
forms have been more interested in their failure
than in their success, and this may, to a large
extent account for past results
a majority Of our cities own their own water
works and of the largest cities, the ratio is IS
out of so. There are other public utilities which
might prohtably be owned by the municipalities,
or at any rate il these privileges arc be turned
over to private concerns, it ought to be done only
upon the basis Of receiving some adequate com
pensation in return. In many cities the corpora
tions pay a certain fixed sum annually for the
privileges they obtain, and in this way the city
some other municipalities different rule obtains
Complaint is based upon the fact that corpora
tions get the franchises for nothing, and then
after watering the stock TO the highest limit they
levy upon the people an amount sufficient to pay
dividends on fictitious values II is practices such
these that have brought about the existing
demand for municipal ownership, consequently
the corporation managers have no one to blame
but themselves.

EVIDENCE on QUE PROGRESS.

/ there remained any doubt in the minds OF
- anyone as to the prosperous condition Of
the manufactures Of Wilmington, and the very
material growth our commercial interests is max
ing, only reference need be made to the statistics
recently compiled by John w. Lawson Jr, Sec
retary of the Board of Trade, which covers all
grades OF merchandise shipped from and received
III our city during the last year. According to
the government report the total valuation of the
merchandise passing in and out Of Wilmington
harbor for the year 1904 was $3I255S54 where
as the official report of the Board OF Trade shows
the total for the year 1905 70 be $5S,a71 $1,000
an increase Of nearly 100 per cent While the
report deals only with the commerce of Whining
ton that has come and gone by water, it never
theless speaks eloquently for city and its
ufacturing interests According to the report the
receipts and imports exceed the shipments and
exports by $I2oooooo This difference doubt
less is attributable the fact that the receipts and
imports cover largely raw material and which,
after being converted into manufactured products,
were mostly shipped by rail instead of water Viii
mington is progressing very rapidly and no
stronger evidence Of it could be produced than
the very favorable and carefully prepared report
OF the Secretary of the Board Of Trade

80 pAN-AMERIcAN CONGRESS.

~T~HE conference Of Latin American delegates
4 which IS 70 take place at Rio de laneiro
the zsth OF this month, should be productive Of
good results There is every reason for strength
ening. in all possible ways the euEdial relations
c,istina between us and our sister republics IN
the South For eighty-three years it has been the
established policy Of the United States to brook
no interference in South America the part Of
any European power John Quincy Adams, who
wrote The Monroe Doctrine, and James Monroe,
who incorporatedit in his message bulded more
wisely than perhaps they knew, when in 1923
they announced to all the world that no more
European colonies should be planted in America
and that we would not view with indifference IAN
attempt by any nation Of Europe 10 reduce an in
dependent nation OF North or South America to
the condition OF a colony Who shall say what
would have been the fate Of our Southern re-
public had there been no Monroe Doctrine TO
stay the hand of European greed. Engand's
threat against Venezuela only a few years ago
IS case in point; and there is little doubt that
Mexico ere this, would have been a French de
pendency, had the action Of our Secretary Of
State, William II. Seward been less prompt or
energetic. He it was who put an end to the at
tempted Maximillian dynasty.
castro's newspaper organ states that he is un-
willing sto encourage dominance OF the United
States over the smaller republics OF the conti-
nent' We give Venezuea's president credit for
at least enough sagacity and foresight to appre-
ciate that his country has more to fear from for
eign encroachments that it has from the domi-
nance of its northern neighbor. Castro is willy
politician who is bidding for support lie realizes
that some of the South American countries have
many foreign born citizens, particularly immi-
grants from Germany and he is trying to make
capital out Of that fact, but Castro will meet con-
siderable difficulty in manufacturing anti United
States sentiment AT all events, the coming con
ference promises to be full Of interest and we
are fortunate in having among our representa-
tives, 50 able diplomat as our Secretary OF State
