GORILLA ESCAPES AGAIN.
Another Exciting Episode at White City
Climbs Electric Tower.


rhe big gorilla with Leon Morris
pony, dog and monkey circus at the
White City caused a great deal of ex-
citement shortly after IL o'clock last
night, when for a second time since the
present engagement the missing link"
escaped after biting one Of his keepers
The animal has shown unusual fero-
ciousness since it came here, and Mr..
Morris, the trainer, believes it due to a
change in keepers. He gave the keeper
nasty bite last night when the latter
was attempting to feed him, and, jerk
ing away dashed away to the electric
tower, where the lights had just been
turned off, and climbed to the very top,
breaking in his ascent over one hundred
electric light bulbs. AS soon as the es-
cape became known every employe then
remaining in the park surrounded the
tower and gazed upon Mr.. Gorilla way
up on the summit of the tower. Elec-
ttrician Johnson, Assistant Superintend-
ent Anderson, accompanied by Profess
sor Morris, climbed the tower and got
his Iordshfp after perilous trip.
People should not forget that this is
the last week of the famous Igorrote
Village. Monday, which is ordinarily
Irather quiet, found the White City and
the village crowded. The people show
no lack of appreciation of the fine free
|outdoor attractions which Manager
Ispeck is offering them. The Leon Nor
ris circus, with its wrestling ponies
wonderful jumping greyhounds,
lgrizzly bareback rider, gorilla bareback
rider and athletic clown, is considered
the best of it's kind i'll the world.
| The Igorrotes last evening wen
through the laughing gallery, and
Twas a circus to see them.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARK III
Evidence for Time of Some Efforts at
Benevolent Control.

New York, June 25.-The stock mark
ct to-day gave evidence for time OF
some efforts at benevolent control Ihls
had been the effect of putting restraint
upon the pressure to sell which was SO
prominent last week. The tone never
theless was one of dull depression and
there was no attempt to inaugurate any
actual rise in prices. The principal in
fuenee in the market in its effect on
sentiment was the evidence of support
for stocks which are reputed to be the
favorite medium for market operations
by capitalists in the so-called Stand
ard Oil group. Movements In the gen
| eral market responded quite closely to
! the action of the stocks thus regarded
Eby the common speculative opinion of
professional traders. st. Paul, Amalga-
mated Copper, and Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific are conspicuous ex-
amples. Southern Pacific and st. Paul
showed evidence of aggressive support
advancing at one time point or more
and Amalgamated Copper was lifted
again and again to above par where 1t
closed on Saturday. This reated an
| impression that the Standard Oil
group Of capitalists intended to offer
support to the market against the de-
pressing influence Of the hostile inten-
ton of the ADMINISTRATION. The period
of strength in these stocks was iden-
tical with that of the greatest resisting
Epower in the general market and the
whole list went off to the lowest Of the
day when Amalgamated Copper gave
way late in the day and showed signs
of an abandonment of support. The
comparative firmness of United States
Steel and of Pennsylvania were of
sympathetic benefit to the rest of the
market. While sentiment was effected
by these speculative considerations
there was no change in the actual con-
ditions affecting stocks. Saturday $
rumors of a proposed steel combination
to rival the United States Steel corpo-
ration had some elaboration but stiff
fleming tendency in the foundry iron
market was of more influence Inter-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT made another
downward plunge on account of the
call made upon members of the syndi-
cate IOT pdyI tO-u"y VI " p0L
cent. of their subscriptions. Interest
rates for time loans continued to ad-
vance and for the six months period
bids were raised from 8 to ia per
cent, while for seven and eight months
5 3-4 per cent, was the asking rate
with 3 1-2 per cent. strongly bid. The
weakness of the copper metal market
in London was believed to have some
special effect on Amalgamated Copper
The break in AmalSamated Copper
weakened the whole market and the
last prices were near the lowest of II
day and showed general declines fo1
most of the active leaders of 1 to
points and in a few cases more.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales pal
value, S1,165,OO0.
Il United States bonds were all un-
changed on call.

NOT HIS AGE.

The oldest youngster in the Senate of
the United States is Pettus of Alabama.
The Southerner says that a man who
does not grow old as rapidly as do his
friends is at certain disadvantage in
their presence. The senator is moved to
this reflection by an incident occurring
at the recent ceremonies attending the
Toying Of the cornerstone of the new
Senate Office building.
A venerable old fellow, much bent
and broken, approached the Alabaman,
whom he took by the hand, affection
ately inquiring as to his health.
81 am in excellent health briskly
responded Mr.. Pettus, not recognizing
the old gentleman.
''Why, don't you know me, PettusY'
came in surprised tone from the other,
who gave such clear evidence of the
flight Of years, 1--WE were classmates.
Whereupon Mr.. Pettus remembered;
and the two had friendly chat
When the old chap had departed, Mr.
Pettus turned to a colleague, observing;
81 knew that gentleman was Just my
age, but, God bless me, l didn't dream
that was his!"-American Spectator.

atnre of the Celestial Empire are enti- tied to the honor of originality or not. Here are three specimens:
 A careless barber, trimming a GUS toner's ears-Chinese barbers pay par tieular attention to this part of the human anatomy-put his patient to great pain and uneasiness. Are you doing my left ear now?" asked the vic tim No, sir; I've not quite finished the right ear yet" "Ahl I fancied you were trying to pass through to the left without going around"
 A portrait painter without clients was advised by a friend to paint a likeness of himself and wife and hang it in some conspicuous place, so that would-be customer might judge of his skill. He did so, and his father-in-law the next time he called Immediately saw the picture. Pray" sad the vis- itor. what woman have you represent ed there?' Why. sir. do you not rec ognize your own daughter?" My daughter" was the indignant answer. If you intend that to represent my daughter, how dare you paint her thus intimately with a man whom I have never seen before, and who must be an entire stranger to herr" The paint CTS feelings need not be described.
 The gibes at doctors are innumer- able. The following Is a typical ex ample:

When" the imp was in. structed, you come to the house of q doctor before which yolhdescry no com blaming ghosts you will know you have found man of the kind wanted The messenger set out, but in front of every doctors door he came to there was an immense throng of angry spir- it's procaiming the wrongs they had suffered when in the flesh at the hands of the medicine man. Finally, how ever, he reached a house where there was but one solitary ghost Hitting backward and forward This is my man." he said to himself; "he must surely be clever fellow" When the imp came to make inquiries. however. he learned that the practitioner had barely been in practice for a day.

IMPROVEMENT IN

MILITARY PREPARATIONS TO PRE- VENT TROUBLE HAVE DONE MUCH TO CALM THE UNEAsl- NESS FELT IN ALL CIRCLES.

Paris, April 9. D. m.-The strike sltua- ton has improved before the government preparations to crush disorder and public uneasiness has been considerably relieved. Alarmist reports, however. continue to circulate concerning what may possibly happen May 1. One report says that Span ish and Swiss anarchists have succeeded In bringing forty bombs into Paris The police are exercising extreme vigilance and are shadowing the chief agitators and watching the centers of disorder. The elaborate military precautions include sta tioning two thousand troops in the base ment of the Grand Palace where the na- tional art salons are being held. Infantry and cavalry are also strongly posted at other important centers.
 The government appears to be fully aroused to the necessity for adequate pre- parations. Frequent conferences are being held between President Fallieres, mem bers of the cabinet and the military and police chiefs.
