CONGO PYGMY STUBBORN.
He Refused to Go to the Jungle Yes
 terday When Reouested,

New York, March 6.-Ota Benga the Congo pygmy, who has been liv. ing in the Howard orphan asylum Brooklyn, since he was taken from the monkey house in the Bronx zoo last September through the efforts of the negro clergymen of New York refused to go to the jungle yester- day.
 Prof S. P. Werner, who brought him to this country and turned him over to the park authorities until such time as he should return to Africa, started for the Congo yester- day with an American exploring ex- petition. Before he started he called on Ota Benga and told him he would take him back to Africa If he wished to go.
 The pygmy who is learning the English language, wants to become qualified as a missionary before he returns and told Prof Werner so.
 The Baptist ministers association of New York, it is stated intends to send Ota to the Virginia seminary at Lynchburg as soon as he gets a good hold on the English language. It is thought 1t will take about eight years to make good missionary out of Ota.

WATERS OUTFITS.
And Other Outfits Specially Designed
 for Men of Various Occupations.

The man who dined always in the same restaurant might suppose that the jackets worn by the walters there were the same as those worn every where, that walters jackets were all alike; but as a matter of fact such jackets, with other equipment for walters, are made in great variety, for use in different places and seasons and there are concerns that devote themselves solely to the manufact- lure of walters outfits, together with outfits for cooks, butchers, barkeep- CTS, soda dispensers, barbers, den- tists and surgeons.
 One such establishment that issues an illustrated catalogue of it's pro- auctions announces that its name is known in every public dining room and kitchen in this country and that it receives orders from Alaska, Can ada, Cuba, the Hawaiian Islands and Mexico and that the United States Government has adopted it's jackets and aprons for Government mess rooms.
 Walters jackets and coats are made not only in many styles but of various materials and vary as to manner of finish and are lined and unlined. They range from sim pie white duck jacket to the full dress coat and include coats and jackets appropriate for all engaged in the work, from head walters and captains down and are suitable for all sorts of places and occasions.
 Of course there is provided walters neckwear in variety, for various uses, and other necessary items of personal equipment, as collars and so on, and thus it is possible for any waiter to supply himself at one place with a complete outfit.
 There are half dozen styles of cooks caps, and as many varieties of cooks jackets, including jackets single breasted and double breasted, and there are trousers made for cooks use, and for cooks and for walters there are made aprons in many styles and sizes and of various materials.
 For barkeepers' use there are made coats in various styles, of drill or of duck, some of these being made with loop buttons, and there are made barkeepers' waistcoats in various styles, some without and some with sleeves.
 Of butchers gowns and coats and aprons there are made various styles in variety of materials; there is a variety of styles of coats designed for barbers, and there are coats specially designed for druggists and coats for dentists, and specially de- signed gowns and suits made for the use of surgeons. The manufacture of all these special garments for the various trades .and professions emu merated constitutes business by itself.

present is untrue. If the stone is clean and dry it will adhere when moisture is within reach till 1t be-. comes saturated. W
 For instance. new red brick will absorb one pint of water. After the venom has been taken into the cir- culation the maidstone is worthless; but as the victim is usually filled with whiskey or alcohol at the same time the stone is being used the spir- its may counteract the effect of the poison.
 'I know of stone which has a wide reputation, and makes a good living for the family owning 1t. They never let it go out of their sigh, and when the victim can not be taken to the stone one member of the family can be hired to take the stone to the victim. In addition to travelling expenses they charge 9B for the application and $2 extra for each hour that the stone sticks.
 This stone is busy large part of the time. Not long since the stone held to mans leg for over one hundred hours. yet the man died. His life could have been saved if de- pendence had not been placed entire- ly in the stone.

BOARD OF CHARITIES
Will Ask Republican 10 Retract
 Article Ii Printed.

The department of charities met last night and passed upon consider. able business. MT Murphy presided and all the other commissioners were present. The clerk was instructed to purchase two dozen new chairs for use at the Brookside home. A com munication was read from City Clerk Sandland notifying the board of the action taken by the aldermen rela- tive to increases in the salaries of the superintendent of poor and the clerk Of the board of charities. The com. muntcation was ordered on file. The bill of $208 from the insane retreat at Middletown for Miss Smith was ordered paid and the superintendent instructed to see the city attorney about 1t and have him collect the full amount from the town of Morris, where Miss Smith belongs. The claim of $13S of Michael Della for caring for abandoned children was settled on payment of $50.
 It was voted that a committee con- sisting of Commissioners Castle, Wolfe and Fitzsimons be appointed to wait on the editor of the Water bury Republican and get retraction of an article printed in the Sunday edition of that paper on March 3 rela- tive to alleged neglect of a patient named Hess at the Brookside home. If the paper should refuse to make such a retraction as the board thinks fair then the committee will ask the editor to furnish the proof. It ap- pears that somebody representing himself as the head man" of the de- partment of charities interviewed the Hess family and the Rev MT Lempke and then wrote the result of the talks for the Republican. In brief 1t was that old MT Hess was at his home covered with vermin which took up their abode on him while he was being paid for at the Brookside home. Now the son of MT Hess denies the imputation and declares that nothing of the kind was noticeable on his moval from the institution, and when the Rev MT Lempke visited the pa tient at the Brookside he congratu- lated Superintendent Brennan on his management of the place and was pleased to see everything so neat and clean. Another man who took possession of the bed vacated by MT Hess found it scrupulously clean, so that it is plain that somebody blum dered. The commissioners feel that the paper will do the right thing by all parties concerned.

LEFTY" BOYLE KILLED.
Alleged Slayer of Ball Player Ar
 raigned in General Sessions.

Alleged Slayer of Ball Player Ar.
 raigned in General Sessions.
 New York, March 6.-Alexander Deveux was placed on trial Monday before Judge O'Sullivan and a jury in part W of the general sessions court on charge of murdering James c'Lefty") Boyle, a former base ball player.
 Very little progress was made. As sistant District Attorney Ely, in plac. ing his case before the jury. said that he would prove that the defendant had grudge against Boyle, who had punched him in the face after crap game, and that he would further prove that the killing was premedi- tated, cowardly and inexcusable. Boyle, he said, was shot in the back. He would ask. he declared, for a yer dict of murder in the first degree.
 Deveux is being defended by At torney O'Sullivan.
 The doctor who performed the au- topsy was heard and he described the nature of the gunshot wound which caused death. He admitted on cross- examination that he knew the man was Boyle only from hearsay.
 Mrs Boyle testified to visiting her husband in the hospital before he died. and Policeman Sofsky told of hearing the shot and arresting the de- fendant.

MADSTONES
Of Some Use Because Absorbent Clay Pipe Makes a Good One.

Of Some Use Because Absorbent
 Clay Pipe Makes a Good One.
 Physicians are often asked whether there really is any virtue in what are called madstones. Ohe of them writing in the Medical Brief. declares that these stones are of value, but that they would be of more value if their limitations were understood.
 There is no particular variety of stones or substance which may be designated exclusively as the mad stone," he says. 'I have seen many of them. so called. and no two were of exactly the same composition, geo. logically considered.
 "Madstones act on the same prin- ciple that plotting paper does when absorbing ink. and there is nothing that makes better one than baked pipeclay. A new clay pipe procur- able for one cent at nearly any store where tobacco is sold, can not be excelled by any maidstone, no matter how great its reputation.
 "The action can be clearly demon strated by placing a common dry red brick in contact with the margin of a puddle of water and noticing what capillary attraction will accomplish. Therefore, to be efficient. the only necessity is for the stone to be porous and have strong adhesive and absor- bent qualities. Nothing mysterious about 1t.
 "I have seen several that appear to be concretions either vesical, renal or hillary and were found in the bladder, kidney or liver of some an- imal--those taken from the deer. suppose to be the best.
 When a person is bitten by a rep tile or dog supposed to be mad and the porous stone applied to the wo- und. the plotting paper action begins. and the blood. saliva from the mouth of the animal and whatever poison these fluids contain will naturally by capillary attraction, be absorbed by and into the substance applied, no matter what name you may give 1t.
