SHOW MAN TELLS HOW
MONKEYS ARE CAUGHT
For SelIs-FOrepaugh'S Big Circus
Soon to Be Here.

A famous animal man was telling
recently how vii animals are captur-
ed for the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brother United Shows. Monkeys, he
says, are captured by wholesale in the
Soudan by a simple device. First,
all the drinking places in q given reg
ion are covered with thorny brushes,
EXCEPT one. In this way the monkeys
are concentrated. when thirsty, at one
spot. Corn is strewn on the ground
near this drinking spot, and after the
monkeys have grown partial to that
place, an enormous cage, similar to
the thached huts used by the native
.Soudanese, is carried to it in the dead
of night One side of tht cage is
prOpped up on a stake. The daily
allowance Of corn is then stTewn in
side the cage. This is repeated for
several days, until the monkeys have
no hestitanCy in entering the cage
Then, at night, a long cord is at
ltached to the stake. The cord is
covered with the desert sand, and ex-
tends to the hiding place of the hunt
ers. Presently a troop of monkeys ap-
pears, confidently enters the cage, and
begins to ca, the corn there. The hunt
Iers .hen pull the cord, the stake falls,
and the monkeys are prisoners. Ma
tiyes force them to the ground by
means Of long sticks, enter the cage
and bind the prisoners, and then take
them to the place Of shipment. There
is no cruelty in this method except
the mere act Of making the monkeys
prisoners.

tors.

CHICAGO MERCHANT
MAKES STATEMENT.

After Spending Thousands of Dollar
and Consulting the Most Eminent
Physicians, He Was Desperate.
CHICAGO, ILLS.-Mr. j. C.
Becker, of 1874 Van Buren, ST., a
weII-known wholesale dry goods
dealer, states as follows:
al have had catarrh for more
than thirty years. Have tried
everything on earth and spent
thousands of dollars for other
medicines and with physicians,
without getting any lasting re-
lief, and can say to you that |
have found Peruna the only rom
edY that has cured me per-
manentlY.
"Peruna has also cured my
wife of catarrh. She always keeps
it in the house for an attack of
cold, which it invariably cures in
very short time"

NEW BOOKLETS NEEDED
BY BOARD OF TRADE
Funds Are Also Needed To
Issue Them

There is need Of new supply
Of advertising booidats to be used by
the Board of Trade in carrying on
its work, as all of the old supply has
become exhausted.
This fact was impressed upon the
was sent in nf0r a number Of book
lets to be distributed along the route
OF the Seaboard Air Line. The re-
quest came from Mr.. J. A. Pride. one
OF the officials Of the road. whose
headquarters are in Norfolk, Va.
The large number of booklets that
has been distributed this summer and
IaIl has completely exhausted the
large supply that was on hand when
the work OF the present wear was
taken in hand by the secretary Of
the Board. Several automobile trips
have been used to give the city and
section extensive publicity and the
supply of booklets was soon disposed
OF in this and in ether profitable
ways.
There are no funds on hand for the
issuance of a new booklet, so it is
the desire of the officers Of the Board
that sufficient money should be raised
to meet this, as well as other expen-
ses that are long past due.

MARKET DECLINE
BRIEF; COVERING
SENDS LIST BACK
u. S. Steel Does Not Rally Pro-
pOrtionateIy With Other
Stocks.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA heavy tone
prevailed at the opening of the stock
market today. following the lead of the
London market, where prices Of the
international issues sold off sharply.
Selling was especially heavy in L. s.
Steel and the Hartman stocks. Can
adian Pacific lost ia, Union Pacific
and L. $. Steel Ii, and Southern Pa
cinc and American Smelling a point.
International Harvester sold at lo0s4
and broke its low price of the year.
II a. m.[The decline was of brief
duration, enough short covering and
new buying developing at the lower
levels to send prices back to yesterday s
closing or beyond. L. S. Steel did not
rally proportionately with the rest OF
the list. and met stock after It had
reached 81.
Noon.-Foreign Influences were
largely responsible for unsettlement of
the stock market today. The increase
in the German bank rate of discount
To ) per cent. although ii had been
forecast, served To emphasize the dis
turbed conditions abroad and presented
liz ppSClbiilAN vi Gil Nv -
bank of England's rate this week. The
unfavorable effect upon he Berlin
market of the change in the German
rate was accentuated by serious dis
tuf Dances in Spain and Austria, and
the %uneasiness Of foreign security
holders was a determining factor in
shaping the action of the market here.
The copper stocks were singled out for
pressure and Amalgamated Copper and
American Smelling declined over 4
point. Other stocks also displayed
heaviness at intervals, but the indiea-
tons of support manifested after the
early weakness repressed bear selling,
and prices recovered somewhat before
midday. Western Union gained 4
point. Bonds We're steady.
I p. m.-The market did not vafA
much between l. and ] o'clock. aside
from a further decline in Canadian Pa
cific to near pa. London sales footed
up $1,000 shares.

FOUR MEN
ON SUSPICION Of
KILLING C0LL|AGE
Staten Island Resident Said to
Have Been Beaten by
Gang.

WEST NEW BRIGHTON, 5. l., Sept.
19.-Henry Collinge died at his home,
1901 Richmond terrace, yesterday morn
ing at 7:30 o'clock, and in the after
noon the police arrested four men,
charging them with having killed him.
1T was discovered, further, that be-
tween $500 and $500 which Collinge is
known TO have carried in his pockets
was missing.
The prisoners are all well known
here. Three of them were arraigned
before Magistrate Marsh and held
without bail. The fourth was arrested
after court closed and was locked up.
lie win have a hearing today.
Collinge, Who was regarded as a man
of means, was a dealer in antique
furniture. lie attended the outing of
the Fred Hood Association in Mat
ling's woods, West New Brighton, on
Sunday. He was a liberal spender and
during the day displayed a large roll
OF bank notes.
Collinge did not start home until late
Sunday night. He had purchased wine
freely and was in a gay humor when
he left a party of friends at the juno
ton OF Broadway, West Brighton and
Castleton avenues. and started to walk
to his home. half a mile distant.
Instead OF going home Collinge is
said to have gone to a neighboring
saloon, where lie engaged i'm an argu-
ment with half a dozen men. A fight
resulted and Collinge was followed TO
tho street and beaten Two OF the men
under arrest are said to have admitted
this TO the police.
Two men bound from the outing
some time after midnight came upon
the unconscious Collinge half a block
from the saloon and carried him home,
where it was discovered he had a
badly cut head.
An autopsy showed that Collinge had
been beaten with some blunt instru-
ment. Further investigation convinced
the police that Collinge had been
robbed, but whether he was robbed be-
fore the assault or afterwards is a
question.
Detectives John j. Smith, Charles
McNally and John Lewis learned from
Mrs. Collinge that Collinge had more
than 5000 in his pockets when he left
home. Men who attended the outing
told of the display of money made by
Collinge there and OF his heavy expen-
ditures, and the detectives started
forth to make arrests. William Nc
Grath, a machinist; Fred r. Hood. a
clerk and a nephew Of the man who
gave the outing, and Joseph l.. Ora
ham, a meehinist, were first accused.
Two hours later Frank Norton was
taken to the station.
