HAD HIS REVENGE
oRANe oUTANo GOT EVEN WITH
ToRMENToRs.
chatterlng Monkeys Pestered Biz
Brute Beyond the Limits Of His
Patience, and Tragedy
Was the Result.

When Pete, the big orang outang
took offense at the continual chatter
ing Of eight African monkeys which
occupied a cage directly opposite the
crate containing Pete between decks
on the big British freighter Schuyl
kill, which got in recently from Ma
nilla, Singapore and other parts OF
the far east, Capt. Anderson did not
pay much attention to his protests
says the New York Times. They
put him down as a crank, and let it
go at that. The vessel put into Bos
ton some days ago, but before she got
there Pete had found his chance to
even accounts with his tormentors.
The brute broke out of his cage, and
before he could be captured had killed
four of the monkeys.
The Schuylkill left Manila on Feb.
ruary IL, and her last port Of call be,
fore arriving on this side was Algiers.
The orang outang and the monkeys
were brought on board at Singapore,
as were a number of snakes and a
tiger The orang outang was rather
a docile appearing animal when the
Schuylkill got out into the Atlantic,
but he soon showed signs OF disliking
his travelling companions. The chat.
tering of the monkeys got on his
nerves, and his resentment increased
from day to day. Apparently the lit.
tie family became aware of Pete's
aversion, for they rather took de.
light in poking monkey fun at him.
1t got so bad that whenever the big
orang outang came within their view
they greeted him with chorus of
monkey chatter and laughter.
The climax came when the vessel
was about four days from Boston.
Pete, 1t appeared later, had for some
time been quietly working on the bars
OF his cage, and about noon he got
out and started in TO clean up his
Objectionable neighbors in the fat
next door.
The first the officers knew Of Pete's
escape was when a great hullabaloo
arose from the hold and out of the OBJ
scurity below shot up the forms of
three little black monkeys, their hair
literally standing on end. The Off.
GERS hurried below and there found
that Pete had torn of the front part
of the monkey cage, and was engaged
in making short work of its occu.
pants. Four he killed before he could
be driven from his task, and one who
had been unable to get out OF the
hold was covering in fear behind a pile
OF freight.
Such was the rage of the orang ou.
tang that before he could be cornered
he started after the escaped monkey.
Eehind him came two of the ships
crew, armed with stout sticks. The
double chase was continued about the
place before they cornered the angry
beast and forced him back into the
crate
The monkeys that were left were
put back In their cage and It was
taken out of Pete's sight. The rest
of the voyage Pete passed behind
double bars.

VILLAGE CHECKS col. AsroR.
Rhlnebeck's Citizens Fearful Of Being
Absorbed by Bic Estate.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.--Alarmed at
the prospect of Col. John Jacob Astor
buying the whole town OF Rhinebeck,
several wealthy residents and mer'
chants of the village have organized
the Rhinebeck Realty and Develop
ment company, and have begun the
work Of checking the colonels enter
prise by buying 300 acres of land
known as the La Porte farm. Around
this Astor has been steadily buying
farms until now he owns three square
miles of land, all of which is destined
to be part of Ferncliffe, his summer
home in Rhinebeck.
The leading spirit In the new com
pany is DR.. George N. Miller, one Of
the wealthiest men in the town, and
the papers filed here show that he has
associated with him Theodore La
Porte, whose land the company took,
and other residents Of Rhinebeck.
The village people have been com
planning that the farms bought by Col.
Astor are no longer used as farms,
and fear has been expressed that the
old families of the town would soon
be compelled to move away, the place
having become an Astor preserve,
The land purchased by the company
includes a race track and the prospect
OF a driving park and a big summer
hotel on the edge of Col. Astors prop.
erty is held forth by tncse interested.
Small dwelling houses, it is said, will
be built directly in Col. Astor's path
as a purchaser Of the town.

The Boomerang and Its Inventors.


The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfectlng of it..
The conyeXity on one side, the fiat
ness on the other and the sharp, knife.
like edge on the inside of the con.
vexity have the air of having been
carefully thought out. Yet the people
who invented this singular weapon
cannot count higher than five and are
destitute Of all the arts and amenities
of life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane OF human life Some people
have assumed that the boomerang was
the creation Of an older and higher
civilization, but for this there is no
evidence. II must be the product of
an age.long empirical use of throwing
weapons.
