L0NGWORTH AND
WIFE IN PANIC At.
WILD MONKEYS
Untamed Simians, Given to Mrs.
Meyer, Go on Rampage
at Dinner.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Broken
bric-a-brac, torn landings and badly
chewed Louis Seize furniture are re-
minders Of the visit of the two un-
tanned South American marmosets TO
the washington residence of Represent
ative Longworth and his wife. the for
mer Miss Alice Roosevelt.
: The two small simians were the star
feature of a dinner which Mrs. Long
worth gave for her house guests, Mr..
and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Mr..
and Mrs. Bourke Cochran. Represent
stive Longworth was in Ohio. The
Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Meyer
were asked to complete the party and
the hostess thaught that the two mar
mosets, q recent present to Mrs. Meyer
from q friend in South America, would
be amusing additions to the company.
AS soon as the monkeys reached the
Longworth residence one broke wildly
from Mrs. Meyers arms while the
other made a lunge at Mr.. Cochran,
who was treating him to some choice
baby talk.
Then the two simians started to
rough-house. The screams of the fem
mime guests drowned the excited chat
ter of the monkeys, which jumped from
one article of furniture to another.
Cherished wedding presenth we're scat
tered around the floor. Mr.. Meyer and
Mr.. Vanderbilt gave chase and a posse
of scared servants made p~erfunctory
attempts to capture the W South
Americans, which threw things at their
pursuers.
When at asst the Longworth butler
succeeded in bringing the monyehs un-
| der subsection it was almost midnight
and the nerves Of the feminine guests
were pretty well reacked. Mrs. Cock
ran was alarmed for fear she had been
bitten, but 1t turned out that her arni
was merely bruised.

LINIMENT TOO STRONG,
CRIES BROUGHT POLICE.

P~ITTSBURG, Feb. 16.-Cries for help
called the police to the home of Brady
Brown on the North Side where they
found Brown and his wife going
through odd contortions, screaming
with pain, and reviling each other be-
tween paroxyms. No explanation was
forthcoming, so both were arrested.
To the magistrate Mrs. Brown ex-
planned that both were burned in a
fire at their home two months ago. Her
husband had poured too much liniment
on her wounds, and h could not help
crying out. In turn, h had poured
some on Mr.. Browns sores and he,
too, cried with pain.
Mrs. Brown produced the liniment
bottle to substantiste her statement,
but Magistrate Crisis Sam, after dis
charging her husband. fined the woman
$40 because she had made the most
noise.

WIFE OF MORSE WORKS
HARD FOR CLEMENCY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Mrs. Charles
w. Morse, who returned here today
from a visit to her husband in the
Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, said
that he is in good health and cheer
full over the outlook for favorable dis
position of his appeal for clemency.
"The petitions for Mr.. Morse's pardon
are coming in wonderfully" she said.
''They are generally signed by profess
sional men who believe he has been
sacrificed"
Mrs. Morse said that the report that
her husband was organizing an ice
company to operate in the South was
absurd. She said that her son Henry,
now in Baltimore, had some interest
In the ice trade and that he will profit
by his fathers advice so far as he may
be able to give it.

er environment. and hence proper
heredity. for them" was the as
sertion of the Rev. DR.. Stephen S. Wise,
rastor of the Free synagogue in New
York city, in his address on "The
Rights and Privileges of CHILDHOOD be-
fore the meeting of tine active and as
sociate members of the Contemporary
Club. held in the large assembly room
of the South Park Presbyterian Church
yesterday.
1.-The child of today is the man and
woman of tomorrow" continued Or.
Wise, and as we safeguard h child
so will be the destiny of the nation. The
hour of the children has struck and
the nation that offers such a paradox
as laboring children and unemployed
men has something wrong with it.
Child labor mars its victims. If it
is p~reventable and we do not prevent 1t,
tier we are criminals; if it is not pre-
ventable, then we are doomed as q civ
ilization.
1--WE initiate England in building
dreadnoughts at an enormous expense,
but we might better emulate her IN her
social program" continued the speaker.
Congress appropriated $13, 5000 0 for
two ba%ttleships, while the National
Child Labor Committee doesn't receive
even one million dollars in thirteen
years for the protection of the chill
dren."
Or. Wise drew attention to the fact
that it is Northern money that is run
ming the factories OF the South.
1.-THE Southern people are being helped
financially by Northern capital. but at
the terrible sacrifice of their children.
The Northern mans conscience is eased
by the fact that he is divided from lis
dividends, but he cannot be divided
from his guilt, Child labor is tolerated
IL the South. and II is az the expense
Of these little ones that many New
England and New York fortunes arc
built up.
