COCHRAN OPPOSES
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Balance of Power in Bibb's Legisla'
tive Representation is Thrown
Against Ratification.

Macon. June 20.-The balance Of
power in Bib county was thrown
against woman suffrage yesterday
with the announcement of Thomas j.
Cochran, Representative in the Cen
,ral Assembly, that he is opposed to
the Susan b. Anthony amendment
which will come up in the Legislature
when it meets next Wednesday.
Mr.. Cnchran's announcement
throws three Bibb Legislators, one
Senator and two Representatives,
against the measure and leaves Har-
ry Stroller, the fourth, still undecided.
Mr. Cochran said some time ago, when
the amendment was passed by the
United States Senate, and thrown to
the Legislatures for ratification, that
he wanted more time in which to
make his decision.
He gives as his reason for opposing
the amendment the imposition by the
north and northwest of their princi-
pies upon us in what consider VIC
lation of the principles OF states
rights"
"The question has given me good
deal of trouble" said Mr.. Cochran.
80 many good women Of this day and
time have to work for a living that it
seems upon the first flash that every
avenue for the purpose of making a
livelihood open to man should be
opened to women, and if | believed a
majority of the good women of eGor-
gia really want to vote and wish a law
passed, without Congress and the
northwest forcing its principles upon
US in violation Of what | conceive to
be states rights, would support this
bill. But the strongest sentiment that
Influences me is that when our food
mothers, wives, SISTERS and sweet
hearts begin to agitate politics, they
will very largely lose the alteration
which the South has always paid the
woman. do not believe that woman's
influence on the nation, and the
South especially, will be increased by
her agitation of policies of state and
politics--if anything, it will be less
it will be the cause of the weakening
of that refined motherly and angelic
influence which has always welded
over manhood, for nothing is truer
than the poets sentiment: The hand
that rocks the Grade rules the world. >

of every kind are realizing in London
auction rooms. in the opinion of men
who have long been close to the trade.
The whole country is being searched
for treasures of all kinds which find
ready sale at prices which hitherto
have only been paid by foreigners.
A mysterious portrait which recent.
ly appeared in one actuion room and
was said by some one TO have been by
Franz Halls quickly brought 100000,
although its authenticity has even
now not yet been established. A
Reynolds portrait which to the pres,
was easily sold for $4,000, and pic
lures by much lesser lights brought
phenomenal prices.
Artistic furniture is in even more
demand. Six Chippendale Gothic
chairs recently sold at a country sale

modern artists are copying this par
ticular design with marked success
and only the trained expert can de
tect the difference At another coun

FINDS AN APE HE
CAN CONVERSE WITH
Naturalist Returns From Africa with
5000 Specimens for Smith
sonian Institute.

Professor r. l.. Garner, naturalist
and student of monkeys. has returned
with four tons OF specimens for the
Smithsonian Institution in Washing
ton, and description OF an animal,
cross between gorilla and chin
panzee, which, he AYERS, was OF such
hugh intelligence, that it could talk
to limited degree to natives iii the
French Congo He said he brought
with him two bodies of the strange
animals, after unsucessfully trying to
capture one alive.
The naturalist said he had spent
two years and seven months in the
Ere ich Congo in the interests of the
Smithsonian Institution, and had col
lectcd more than 5000 specimens OF
bird and animal life.
In al. my travels through the Jun
giles, have never come across such
strange animal as the talking go
rilla." h. SAID II first heard of the
hast from natives in the Como, who
sad that : certain region was in
tested with the animals, with which
they had learned to talk after a fash
ion"
Professor Garner said he induced
four ratives to accompany him TO the
habitat Of the animals. He said he
found they had told the truth, and he
himself set about to learn to talk &c
the monkeys. which in the dark, could
be takGr FIR natives, because of theil
uncaEny resemblance to man.
One night, several of the man apes
approached the edge of the village
and uttered a strange call which
sounded like "Waa.hooa," Professor
Garner said. This, he discovered, was
the call of the male for it's mate In
terpreted, it meant: Where are you -
The answering cali, given usually by
a female, is "Ahoo.ahoo," meaning
as Professor Garner said, Here
am"
Professor Garner said he spen
weeks perfecting himself in initiating
the call of the female. Then one
night he answered the call of the male
ape, and, to his surprise, the ANNA
bounded friskly over the ground t.
where he stood, with his rifle in hi.
hand. He said he shot the ANNA
and brought its body back with him
The ape. he said was more than sly
feet tall and weighed about 20t

William Monroe Trotter has done
even more. Will you do yours? Since
