OCELOT CAT COMES IN SuRLY MOOD;
BRIDGET, LITTLE MONK, FULL Of pep

Hundreds Of Richmond people who
are interested In the city's small but
varied and interesting collection of
birds and beasts which comprise the
ZOO" at Glen Miller park are invited
to visit the Glen this week and inspect
the two latest additions, which arriv-
ed today from Detroit animal deal
er.
One of the new members Of the zoo
family Is an Ocelot cat, a native Of
Central America and commonly re-
ferred to as the American leopard. /"
The other is Rhesus monkey, a ma
tive of far off India
The Ocelot cat gives promise of be-
ing the prize beauty Of the zoo. He
stands about three feet high and is the
possessor of q wonderfully marked
pelt. While ordinarily good humored
Mr.. Ocelot was in very bad temper
upon his arrival in Richmond because
he had been penned up in \ small box.
Those who tried to make up with him
were promptly repulsed by his vicious
snarls. AS soon as quarters are pre-
pared for him he will be removed from
his uncomfortable box.

her companion. Picking through the
bars of her box she chartered amiably

BRITISH SUBMARINE
PENETRATES HARB0R
At C0NSTANT|N0PLE
~ HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, July ga British sub
marine has eluded the Turkish war
ships in the Dardanelles and Sea of
Marmora, penetrated into the very
harbor of Constantinople, sunk two of
the sultan's gunboats and a steamer
and returned in safety to its base.
Details of this exploit, one Of the
most daring carried out by a subma-
rine commander during the war, were
received here today in dispatches
from Athens. According to a Nifty
lene dispatch, the submarine also
sank in the Sea of Marmora a Turk
ish transport
The Athens dispatches state that
the submarine fired torpedo at a
transport anchored at Tophane, a SUI
burb of Constantinople, between Gal
alta and Pera. The torpedo failed to
strike the transport but hit the wharf,
completely wrecking it, Athens re-
ports.
The Mitylene dispatch says that the
torpedo struck the transport while it
was discharging troops and it sank
within few minutes
This is the first time that the his
toric waters of the Golden Horn have
been invaded by hostile submarine.
The attack on the transport at To-
plane was made in the shadow of the
beautiful Mamudieh mosque.

Bridget" is a little larger than the
members of the ringtail family which
have been such great favorites at the
park but in appearance she greatly
resembles this branch of the monkey
family. One marked difference il her
tail. which Is shorter than that of the
ringtail monkey. She is just as handy
with this appendage. however. and is
as full of life as young kitten.
Bridget" was placed In the vacant
section of the monkey cage today
where she will remain until she gets
better acquainted with the ringtails
on the other side Of the cage. Then
she will be put in with them.
Another monkey, . young ringtail.
has been ordered from the Detroit
dealer and he Is expected to arrive In
day or two.
City officials, it appears, have final
ly realized what an excellent attrac-
ton the zoo Is and they declare that
from now on additions will be made
to the zoo annually. Supt. Ford would
like to have some Chinese pheasants
peacocks. swans and other beautifully
plumaged birds. He would also like
to have a buffalo or two.

land Victims Claimed by
Relatives-Pathetic Scenes
at MOrgue.

CHICAGO. July 26.-The line Of
searchers for relatives and friends
who went to their deaths in the steam
er Eastland was shorter today. Thou
sands had found the hundreds fol-
whom they sought at the big second
regiment armory which had been turn
ed into wholesale morgue, and had
been allowed to remove to their homes
the frightful objects of their fearful
search
All through yesterday and last nigh,
constant stream of stretchers follow
ed by weeping men and woemn had
moved out of the great home of the
states soldiers, and when dawn broke
this morning, there remained of the
long lines of sheeted figures only
seven identified and fourteen uniden
titled bodies. All the others out O.
total of SIG had been taken ava.
by the relatives and friends to sorrow
ing homes.
Among the searchers In the morgu'
early today was a big strong man
Frank Colombik. He made his way In
to the armory, walked straight to the
center of the remaining row ant
found his young wife, Celia. His AZ
hour search was ended.
Other strong men turned away al
Colombik knelt beside the body of hi
wife and wept like child. Twt
friends with him sobbed in their fu
tile efforts to console him.
Despite the fact that the line o
searchers had diminished there were
still hundreds at, the doors of thu
armory this morning. The shorter
row of bodies made the handling O
the crowd an easier matter and tn
row of seekers moved more rapidly.
Grief of a terrible sort showed OF
the faces of those who turned ava!
without finding the object of thei
quest. To them it meant another tril
through the morgue after more bodies
had been brought in, and another I'm
til the features of some loved ont
should be discovered. =.~4 ...---s
On the faces of others there was
almost happiness. They passed thu
lines of bodies without finding thu
ones they sought, and there was Still
a slight chance that they might We
be alive.
