INTELLIGENCE OF MONKEYS.
Professor Haggerty Proves They
Have an Initiative.

New York City.--Professo Melvin
E. Haggerty of Harvard university,
who has been studying monkeys In
the Bronx geological park for the last
month, has proved to his own satisfac-
ton that some of them at least are
not merely imitators of the human
species, but have an initiative. In one
of his tests he had platform built
extending about five feet outside the
cages occupied by the orang outangs.
Mickey and Minnie. On one end OF
the stand he placed a bunch Of banan-
as and some lucious peaches. Then he
placed in the cage long stick with
a hook in the end and went away.
He had not been gone five minutes
when Mickey looked at Minnie, wink
ed and laughed. Minnie winked and
laughed too. Then Mickey got the
hook raked the fruit, and they had a
delicious meal
Later Professor Haggerty tried the
trick on Badly, the chimpanzee, but
he got the fruit within close range
before the hook was ready, and there
was no need to go any further. Badly
also had an enjoyable time. Thespro-
lessor had some other tricks in stock
which he believes will demonstrate
his theory beyond any doubt.

TELLER Under ARREST
Is Held for $4,000 Shortage
Found 1S Months Ago.
TOOK U. S. TREASURY NOTES
Which Were to Be Destroyed Bills
Were Of $500, $1,000 and $4,000
Denominations.

Chicago, Hl.-George w. Fitzgerald
has been arrested on a charge of
stealing s17S,OOO of United States
funds from Assistant United States
Treasurer William Boldenweck on
February 20, 1907
The mystery of the theft of $4,000
from the United States sub-treasury
a year and half ago, one of the
largest losses the government has
ever suffered in this manner, is be-
lieved to have been solved.
Fitzgerald was an asserting teller
under Assistant United States Treas
urer William Boldenweck Suspicion
at the time of the theft, February 20,
1907, rested on him, but so PLAUSIBLE
was his story and so intense his APP
parent interest in discovering the real
culprit, that interest ceased to center
on him. Much work was done on the
theory that the crime had been per-
petrated by a colored man.
Meanwhile Fitzgerald was discharg-
ed from the government employ for
culpable negligence in allowing such
theft to be consummated under his
very eyes. The money stolen had
been used and had been tied in pack
ages, some of it having been marked
for destruction at Washington. Any
of it would readily have passed any
where except for their large denomi-
nations None Of the bills were under
$500 and some of them $1,000 and
$4,000 denominations, the $1,000 ones
| predominating.
The theft created a sensation
throughout the country and congress
at the last session was asked, and re
fused, to release Assistant Areasurer
Boldenweck from liability, although it
was promised that congress would
again consider the matter at the next
session. Meanwhile Herbert F
Young, a former Chicago newspaper
reporter, and now head of a secret
service agency, became interested in
the case, but later as the agent of Mr.
Boldenweck.
Mr.. Young's attention was redirect.
ed to Fitzgerald The latter upon his
discharge from the subtreasury stated
that his whole fortune consisted OF
$500 in cash and a stock certificate
for $1,000 His wife had 500 inter.
est in the estate of her mother, which
was valued at about $4,000, and was
in litigation. Fitzgerald, however, &C
cording to Mr. YounA embarked in
speculation on a scale not consistent
with the size of his means and his ar.
rest was the result.

STOCK EXCHANGE DEALS
Queer Transactions in New York
to Be Investigated.
ORDERS WERE "MATCHED'
Over Million Shares of One Stock Were
Bought and Sold Without Az
fecting the Price.

New York City-A special COM
mittee of five members of the New
York stock exchange will conduct an
Investigation of the transactions
which took place on the floor of the
exchange recently, when more than
100000 shares were bought and sold
in enormous blocks in one day, and
in such manner as to arouse sus-
picion that the sales were so match
ed as to create a fictitious impress
sion of activity. The governing COM
mittee of the exchange took up the
matter, and in a brief session author
lied the president of the exchange,
r. H. Thomas, to appoint the investi-
eating committee.
The belief that the sales were man
ipulative had its origin in the fact
that shares we're bought and sold in
tremendous blocks without greatly af
fecting the market prices. Some of
the more conservatives members refus.
ed to accept the orders when they
became convinced that the sales were
matched" an order to sell block OF
given stock being followed by an or
der to buy, given through different
broker.
Some of the smaller brokers who
trade on the floor, accepting a reduc.
ed commission of 50 for 100 shares
gave the names Of three or four firms
as having done practically all of the
days enormous business. A single
firm was reported to have handled
transactions amounting to 100000
shares.
The main question before the in
vestigating committee will be the
identity of the prime mover in the
extraordinary market. If it is found
that the orders were matched" Sc
we're discipline will be applied, as ii
is a violation of the rules and pun
ishable by dismissal from member
ship Of the New York Stock Elk
change.

CORNER in COTTON FAILS.
Livermore Loses 100000 in One
Days Trading.

New York City.-There was col.
lapse in the October option in the
cotton market, which, according to ex-
change experts, netted the bull pool
a loss of upward Of 100000. The
October went to smash and the en-
tire deliveries up to May of next
year declined sympathetically The
day was a most exciting one on the
cotton exchanges of this. city and
New Orleans. At one time October
cotton showed decline of SO bale.
There was no doubt at the markets
close that big inroads had been made
in the profits of Jesse L. Livermore,
the bold young operator in the cotton
market, whose manipulations in the
October option had startled the cot
ton markets of this city, Liverpool
and New Orleans.
Acting for himself and for other
plungers, Mr. Livermore had accumu-
lated line of 100000 bales of the Oc-
tobeF option

The baron and baroness came here
from Hamburg at the end of last
month to consult with Professor Vim
cenz Czerny, a skin specialist, con
corning malady from which the am
Fbassador has been suffering for some
time. After prolonged examination
Of the diseased part on the left side
of the Baron Won Sternberg's head,
Professor Czerny affirmed that the
trouble was not cancer, but a lupus,
and that he could cure it. Both the
ambassador and his wife were i'm
mensely cheered at this opinion Bar
on Won Sternburg is described as hav-
ing felt that his long agony was near
ly over, and that soon he would be
well man again. His wife also
shared that hope.
The ailment that resulted in the
death of Baron Speck Won Sternberg
has been stubborn and Of long stand
ing. II has been described as lu-
pus, growing out Of an injury result
ing from an accident that occurred
while the baron was in the service of
his government in India
He made a brave fight against the
spread Of the malady from the start,
and his plucky effort to prevent the
disease from spelling his diplomatic
career aroused keen sympathy
Washington. D. C.--News Of the
death of Ambassador Won Sternberg
came not as surprise, but as a great
shock to his personal and official
friends in Washington. BY the off,
cials in the state department and by
those who were SO fortunate as to
enjoy his confidence and friendship,
the death Of Baron Won Sternberg is
regarded as a distinct personal loss.

were shaken up, and many were
thrown to the floor, but none serious
ly hurt.
The track was completely torn up
for distance Of nearly 200 feet
Three coaches were so badly damag-
ed they could not be moved. The
engine turned over on it's side, both
sets Of drivers were clear Of the
ground. The engineer had applied
the emergency brake and reversed his
lever before the engine capsized, and
the ponderous driving wheels revolv-
ed at tremendous speed in reverse or
der until the stream was exhausted.
Engineer Dewberry was found on
the floor of the cab, between the two
box seats. He had made no attempt
to escape The negro fireman was
also found in the cab SO badly in
jured as~to be unconscious.
After the first bump came there
was a series of jolts as the train ran
along on the crossties. Finally there
was crash that threw the passen-
gers in the dining car and the com
bination club and baggage car to the
floor. The train stopped and three or
four passengers, with greater pres
ence Of mind->than the others, rushed
forward to the engine.

heavy bolt under the wheels OF the
train, the bolt being found and turn.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds II thoroughly after using, and
gives it u sun bath to sweeten it. She
knows that If her churn is sour it will
taint the butter that is made in it, The
stomach is n cl urn. In the stomach
and digestive and nutritive tracts are
performed processes which are exactly
akin to the churning of butter. Is IL
not apparent then that If this stomach
churn is 'sour' it sours all which Is
put into it? The evil of foul stomach
is not the bad taste i'm the mouth and
the foul breath caused by it, but the
corruption of the pure current OF the
blood and the disseminat on of disease
throughout the body. DIR. Pierces

Sleeping with Shut Windows.

A man in neighboring city who
has formed a habit of going out for
for mile sprint In the neighborhood
of his dwelling during the earliest
II oments of the cold gray dawn says
there Is yet work for the ause OF
the open window. From morning
to morning his route Is changed
somewhat. but It always covers q
district inhabited by the well-to-do.
Scanning the sleep,ng apartments as
he runs, he finds surprisingly few
windows open. His excursions are
taken SO early that he knows the
sleepers are not awake. and that
they have slept the night through
breathing poor air. These are
proofs. he thinks. that many persons
intelligent in most matters, are stll
unaware of what fresh air might DO
for them. boston Transcript.

ALL. BARS CLOSED
IN ATLANTIC CITY.
t5o 900 Visitors to Famous Seaside
Resort Experience a "Dry" Sun
day-State Law Enforced.

Atlantic City. N. j., Sept. 3.--Gov-
ernrr Fort completely routed the de-
flant saloonkeepers Sunday. and bis
demand that the excise laws be obey
ed was carried out to the letter.
There was not saloon, cafe or ho-
tel in this city in which liquor could
be purchased. The anti-screen sec
| tion of the law was also obeyed, and
no curtains were drawn to shield the
barroom from public view. Some
cafes were open. but they seSved on
ly soda water ginger ale sarsaparil-
la, tea, coffee and cocoa with meals.
| There was no attempt made at sub
| terfuge.
Many persons famiiIar with the
history of this far-famed resort have
wondered whether the city would be
| as destitute of open saloons as 1t was
Sunday, when every one Of the two
hundred and twenty saloons and ho-
tel bars were closed They were
closed alike to bona fdc guests as
well as to strangers just arrived
within its gates. II was said that
this was the fourth time in the fifty
four years of its existence that a
in Atlantic City. A bulletin posted
at Police Headquarters stated:
Saloons all closed. No troops In
town"
Another bulletin officially signed
by the chief of police, consisted of
card on which was printed:

To-day It's Fort holds you
Governors proclamation contain
ing threat to send troops to the sea-
shore in the event of further vio-
lation OF the Sunday closing law had
it's effect.
Saloonkeepers and hotel men re-
luctantly accepted the advice of the
Mayor and of the more conservative
members of the saloon mems organ
ization, and closed their places of
business as tightly as they knew
how. Boardwalk cafes that on Sum
days past have been thronged to their
utmost capacity, serving liquors and
food, to-day were all but deserted.
White aproned walters stood idly by
the vacant chairs surrounding the
once cosey little tables, and thought
regretfully of the gala Sundays that
were gone.
AS spokesman for the affected liQ-
uor interests, and one of the local
political leaders. declared that the
loss by the days closing would
amount to S150,O0O. He said that
the saloons would close every Sum
day hereafter until some warrant Of
law will permit their remaining open.

USE CONCRETE POLES,
Pennsylvania Railroad Thinks They
Will Stand Storm Better.

Pittsburg. Sept. 2.-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has begun to install
concrete telegraph poles along its
right of way. The assertion is made
that they will not be so liable to de-
struction by storms, and will last
longer than the wooden poles.
The road has chosen a long stretch
Of exposed track between Pittsburg
and Chicago for the experiments,
which will be carried on throughout
the Winter. II found satisfactory
the entire system will have the new
concrete pole.
