in the history Of the Institution which
augures we'll for the educational ad-
vantages there afforded. The attend
ance is made up largely of old stud
ents. that is, students who have pur-
sued courses OF study at the institution
during the past and several new ones
who have been enrolled during the
past year. A very small proportion,
according to President Swain, are en-
rolled in the preparatory department
and he states further that this de-
partment is not being run as Ii
val to any high cshool. The enroll
ment for the year just closed was
273--30 more than re2otred last year.
An estimate for the >'ear totals the
sum of s29,SO0, and this includes sal
aries, improvements Of grounds and
buildings, additional Laboratories and
apparatus, The report is exhaust
i've and withall furnishes docu-
ment which will be satisfactory to the
taxpayers of the state in consideration
of the work being performed and the
number Of pupils receiving the al
vantages afforded by the institution.

suitable for the purpose, where he dis
ported himself, made nets and ham
mocks and arrows, counted his money
and played with chimpanZee. It was
this latter feature which proved objec
tlonable. 1t was noised abroad that
man was being exhibited in cage
with a monkey to show the supposed
close connection between the two spe-
cies Of beings, and this led to protest,
particularly on the part of the colored
people of New York, who regarded the
matter in the light CT a special insult
to them. The director Of the park de-
MED that the pygmy was placed on
view with any such idea.
The incident raises many interesting
questions respecting the comparative
development Of different branches of
the human race and the time man as
human being, supposing he was ever
anything else. has been on the earth.
Though there are interesting and curl
GUS points Of resemblance between a
member Of the simlan tribe and any
member Of the human race. black or
white, red or yellow. 1t is yet far cry
from Ota Benga, the pygmy. to the
chimpanzee with whom he plays. Ota
Benga is twenty-three years old and
four feet eleven inches In height. 1t
might be supposed that he and his
tribesmen, being so small, are more
nearly related to the apes, granting
that any relationship between the hui
man and simian species exists, than
men of races which attain larger Size
But Ota Benga Is not representative
Of the lowest order of savage. There
are larger tribes which are less devel-
oped than he and his tribesmen. He is
bright and has mastered q good many
English words already and Is skillful
at manual work. How long the pyg-
mics have lived in Africa. where they
| came from and how they came to be
smaller than the tribes around them
are questions the scientists have not
yet been able to answer.

historical accuracy of the stories re
garding the services rendered by Pc

association so that 1t now embraces
some TOO members, including many
who admire the character Of the brave
red woman, but make no pretensions
as to having her blood in their veins.
The society has $4,000 In hand for the
purposes Of the memorial and will

William Ordway Partridge has been
chosen to execute the statue, and III
October pilgrimage will be made to
Jamestown island by many members
Of the society to select site.
1t has been decided that the pedestal
Of the statue shall bear four tablets.
three Of which will contain scenes In
bas-reliee. The first of these will be O.
reproduction OF the famous painting
by Chapman, '"The Baptism Of Poca-
h0ntas," in the rotunda Of the capitol
at Washington. The second will de-
plct the marriage Of the Indian prin-
cess as portrayed in the Brueckner
painting. The third will be relief
showing Pocahontas and her servitors
bringing supplies for the aid of the
starving colonists. The fourth is to
reproduce part of the old parish reg
lister at Gravesend, where Pocahontas
died after being taken from the ship
which was to have conveyed her back
to her klnsfolk in America. The entry
reads, "Rebecca Wrolfe, wyfr Of Thos.
Wrolfe, gent, Virginia lady borne.
here is buried in ye chancelle."
The statue of Pocahontas Is to be in
bronze. AS contribution to the prof
ect the sculptor chosen for the execu-
ton Of the figure gave the preliminary
work he has done on tlsa subject. His
choice for the task is recognized as es-
pecially fitting not only because he Is
one of the foremost Of American sculp-
tors, but also because he has devoted
his talents with exceptional enthusi-
asm to Interpretation of subjects ASST
ciated with patriotism and national
history. He has portrayed Nathan
Hale, the patriot spy and the hero of
Yale, and Alexander Hamilton, states
man and scholar and hero of Columbia
university, Of which Partridge was
himself student His Hamilton
statue stands in front Of the Hamilton
club, Brooklyn. Another cf his patri-
otto works Is his equestrian statue OF
Grant, erected by the Union League
club of Brooklyn. Mr.. Partridge was
born in 1861 in Paris OF American par
ents, but was brought up in America.

THE HAND OF THE MACHINE.

While Senator Carter is declal ing
in a loud voice that he is keeping his
hands off in the senatorial election
soon to lie settled at Helena, it is
noticeable fact that every office holder
who owes his position at the federal
trough directly or indirectly to the in
fluence Of the oily-tongued senator,
is for the election of Mr. Mantle. 1t
is also noticeable that a large numb
ct of the machine newspapers are
strongly in favor Of the protege of
Senator Carter, Mr.. Mantle, and while
they admit that Mr.. Dixon is "splen-
did fellow he Is not quite the equal
Of Mr.. Mantle, SO they say To the
Herald, it looks much like a battle
between the political boss and tie
people with the sentiment strongly
in favor Of doing away with the rule
of the former. The very cry being
put up by the opposition to Mr. Dix
on by the adherents of Montana's ma
chine boss, Senator Carter, demon
strates that they are a little afraid of
the outcome of the election and are
making loud claims in order to boil
ster up some weakened brethren
who have not been any too sanguine
all along and to whip into line the
rank and file, if such a thing is pos
:sible. The election of either Mr. Man
tie or Mr.. Dixon would, under ordi-
nary conditions, insure Montana an in
tellgent and faithful representa- ion
in the senate but when the hand of
the dictator is shown in such SUBJ
tantsial ways in favor OF the one a.
gainst the other, it locks as though
Joe" Dixon had become a thorn in
the flesh to the powers that be, or
rather that We're, for conditions are
changing in Montana as we'll as in
North Dakota, Wisconsin and other
states the outlook points to a very
stiff fight OH the hands of the ma
chine and its cohorts if the defeat
of Dixon is accomplished, in fact it
looks like Dixon at this writing.

that he has had nothing to do with the

"A UGH interest attaches to the
presence at the New York
I'VE Geological park Of little
fellow from Africa named
Ota Benga, a pygmy Of the tribe
known as Bachichi, meaning bush
men. He is the only specimen Of the
African pygmies at present in the
United States, though six little black
people from the same part OF Africa
were part Of the exhibit in ethnology
at the st. Louis worlds fair. But the
fact that little Ota is here all by him
self and is rare specimen of the hui
man race does not account altogether
for the interest taken in him.
Ota Benga was brought to this coun-
try by DR.. Samuel P. Werner, the ex-
plorer and ethnologist who had charge
OF the pygmies at st. Louis. After re-
storing the latter to their homes in the
African wilds DR.. Werner came across
Ota Benga on one of the southern trib-
utarfes Of the Kongo, where he was q
captive in the hands of cannibal
tribe. Knowing that he was liable to be
eaten by his captOrs, DR.. Werner res
cued the little man and tried to send
him back to his tribesmen. This prov
ing impracticable, Ota begged to be
taken to the United States.
On arrival here the explorer tried to
put him in an orphan asylum, but was
unsuccessful. It thus happened that he
was placed under the care Of Director
William L. Hornaday at the New York
Geological park. Here he was quar-
tered in room vacated for him by a
keeper containing a bed and running
water. He took bath every morning
and was allowed to run about the
park, but in the afternoons to allow
people to see him was placed in a big
open air cage, there being no platform

Well, the suspense is over anG-

circular sent out by the Great North

received in this sanctum the past
week. One short clause OF Il tersely
written circular letter reads thusly:

les in exchanging transportation fol

Inter State Commerce Commission
and they have ruled that such an ex-
change is not permissible under the

associated with career which the peo-
| pie Of America ought to remember
with gratitude. Had it not been for
Pocahontas the colony of Virginia
might never have survived the dangers
and hardships Of the first few years Of
Its existence. The statue is to stand
on jamestown island. Last year the
authorities Of the Jamestown exposi-
ton formed plan to bring her re-
mains from England and give them
burial with suitable honors In her ma
tive soil. But the vicar Of the PARISH
church at Gravesend, where her bones
were laid in the year 1916 or 1917, re-
ported that all trace Of them had dis
appeared. Last February some Of the
descendants of Pocahontas organic
ed in Washington the Pocahontas
Memorial association. Some Of the
members at first entertained the idea
that congressional appropriation
might be obtained for the purpose of
the memorial. A member Of the house
Of representatives was one day breach
ed on the subject. He poohpoohed the
idea and added that the Pocahontas
business was all a fraud anyway; that
the noble Indian girl was only a myth.
Now there are some leading citizens
who take considerable pride in being
descended from King Powhatan's line

daughter, and the worthy Thomas

Vurpillat by the hand, he said: How can 1 ever repay you for what you have done for me?"
 MT P. Mcclure of 54 Burton street had suffered with rheumatism for two years, and for the last few months it had been getting worse, until it was impossible for him to close his hand. The hand was swollen and very painful It only took three minutes use of the New Discovery to enable MrClure to open and close his hand as if nothing had ever been the matter with 1t. MT Mcclure stated that it was the frs time in months that he had been able to use his hand.
 MT John Burns of 43 North Main street found immediate relief for q sprained thumb through the agency of the New Discovery.
 Another gentleman wFo was re- lieved of rheumatism in the hand Was MT John H. Lafo of 1S0 South Elm street.
 Several other cases of deafness, etc, were demonstrated upon with equal good result. The testimonials of persons who say they nave OK perienced removals of deafness and paralysis by massage and applica- tions of Vurpillat's Relief and reports of the benefits victims of catarrhal and stomach troubles say they have received by taking Vurpillat's New Discovery have attracted widespread attention.
 Hundreds of people of Waterbury and vicinity have called upon Mr Vurpillat or his assistants and have investigated these reports; other; who live at a distance and do moi feel able to make the trip to Water bury are making inquiries concern ing the work Vurpillat has been do ing. Several we'll known people living in neighboring towns have learned of the testimonials of people afflicted. One wrote to a Waterbury newspaper as follows:
 "Mr Editor: Please tell nc how l can get MT Vurpillat's preparations and on what terms. Please answer at once so that I can get into com munication. I have heard of the work he has been doing and I am anxious to try his remedies" These inquiries are only few of the thousands which have followed MT Vurpillat in his work in different cities, and it is safe to say that aside from placing his preparations in half of the homes of the city, during his visit here, he will find friends for his remedies in all quarters of the state.
