MONKEYLAND IN
HAPPINESS NOW
"MrO" and kitty" Give Birth
to Little BdbOOn at Sci
bells Quarters.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Monkeyland is in happiness at Sci
bells winter quarters. 1t is all due
tu the fact that ''Kiro,' the celebra-
ted African baboon' and his wife
Kitty" are the proud parents of a
baby babuon, born yesterday after
noon. This is indeed rarity and it
is doubtful it there is a cIty in the
state of Wisconsin that can boast of
this distinction. The little one is
doing nicely at Sslbel's winter quar-
tiers and promises to be valuable &C
QUESTION IN their show business next
season. A representative of The
Leader paid visit to monkeyland
yesterday afternoon and witnessed the
new horn. No mother could have
fondled an offspring more tenderly
than kitty or appeared from ap-
pearances more pleased. This is one
of the rarest cases on record, as it is
very seldom that monkeys or balloons
breed in captivity, especially the lat
ter.

Salvation Army Here.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

A Salvation Army, consisting of two
ladies and gentleman, held forth at
the corner of Main and Third streets
last evening, drawing crowds that did
not number thousands or tarry in the
chilly atmosphere for any great length
of time. There were those, as Is
usual in such cases, who stopped to
scott and jeer these christian people
who are laburing in their humble way
tc uplift humanity and, who, by the
way, are doing grander work than
many of the aristocrstic churches,
many of the members of which use
their religion as cloak to perpetuate
their sins. The street corners should
be granted these worthy people for
carrying on their open air services
and the scotfers should be RELOCATED
and L ide an example of whenever
their sacreligious antics are detect
ed. The Salvationists certainly do
no harm. On the contrary, they are
doing good by reaching out among
class that the average church could
never reach and which many do not
wish to reach.

LITTLE TOWNS ARE
SUFFERING GREATLY
AS RESULT OF WITHDRAWAL
OF TELEGRAPH SERVICE,
Shut Out From the World So Far
as Code Communication is Con-
Cerned-Will Present Method of
Moving Trains in Event of Rush
Be Successful?

The little towns in this vicinity, and
in fact all along the lines from which
the 9. M. & st. P, Northwestern
ana other lines have withdrawn their
telegraph operators in order to dodge
the eight hour law, are suffering for
lack of telegraph service. They are
shut out from the world completely so
Tar as code communication is concern
ed. The roads have removed all their
Instruments with the exception of one
In each office which will be left for
lmmergency, and plugged the system.
All that remains is the depot and
ticket agent who works eight hours.
The Telegraph companies have been
using the wires of the roads to send
messages to the smaller towns and as
the roads abolished their wire system,
the telegraph companies are obliged to
quit the little towns altogether.
1t is not believed that the present
method of moving trains will be sue
cessfu1 In the event of a rush of bust
ness like the railroads have experlen-
ced in the past few years. Train dis
patchers must keep a close eye on his
schedule and it frequently occurs that
he must communicate with train and
issue orders at the smaller towns
where the service has just been cut
off. The change will have a tendency
to cause accidents in which nine
times out of ten the public is the
sufferer.
In some cases, roads have already
cut the salaries of all operators to an
eight hour schedule. Meetings of
operators will be held to take steps to
enter protest against the proposed
reductions, and if the companies refuse
to compromise, IL is very likely that
strikes Will follow.

Miss Blanche Louise Schutt Bride
of Benjamin w. Goodrich.
Courtship by Wire.

Dan Cupid stole march on unwilling
parents, it's said, when Miss Blanche
Louise Schutt of 1923 NJ street northwest
made a quick trip to Rockville yesterday
afternoon and became the bride of Ben
jamin Wilson Goodrich.
Throughout the winter the young peo-
pie have been devoted lovers. but as the
bride was only sweet sixteen -nd first
cousin of the prospective groom her
parents were opposed to any thought of
union between them. The bride for a
time during the winter was employed at
the Main" telephone exchange. and
much of Goodrck's courtship was per-
formed by wire. Finally he pleaded with
the girl of his choice to go to the Mary
land "Gretna Green and the quietly
planned elopement yesterday afternoon
was the result.
The youthful bride of today was at
her fathers office in his store near 18th
and Q streets yesterday morning for
several hours. and chatted merrily with
him without once mentioning the mo-
mentous event that was pending. Short
ly after / o'clock Miss Schultz said she
would go downtown on a shopping tour.
but she did not return until nearly 6
o'clock. Several hours later she again
went out and neither of her parents
has since seen her.
Mr.. Schutt thought his daughter was at
their home in Georgetown last night. and
on that account he was not greatly dis
tnrbed when she did not return to the
sleeping apartments. which are frequently
occupied. at the eth street establishment.
Similarly Mrs. Schutt. who has charge
of her husbands Georgetown store. was
of the opinion that her daughter was at
the nth street store last night with her
rather. Mr.. and Mrs. Schutt voiced the
belief today that their daughter is at the
home of her husband who resides with
