Plflmy Ota Benga In Zoelofllcal fart. j? The pigmy bro ii<ht to America by Rev. Samuel Phillipe Verne; and told about in The State some time ago, is causing endless trouble. Preachers have raved about it, stu douts of natural history have studied it and the pigmy in pieking np enough knowledge of civilisation to acquire money to buy a wife when he goes back to the wilds of Africa. The little fellow'a name is Ota Benga and he was found in 1004 on one of the southern tributaries of the Congo by Mr. Veiner, the African explorer, who ie connected with the Amerioan ?tum of natural history, bnt his og to New York was an acci dent. He was in the hands ol' the hostile cannibalistic tribe of the Bas childe. He was slated to be the chief viand at a feast. Mr. Verner rescued him by paying a price in calico and beads, and Ota Benga be carno a willing servant. He was the son of a ohief of the pigmy tribe. He had been twice married, though only 28. His first wife was eaten up by cannibals. His second wife died from the sting of an Afrioan viper, a very beantifnl snake, of which Ota exacted later a terribie vengeance by bringing him to the New York Zoological park to pass his days in captivity. It was the intention of Mr. Verner to return the pigmy to his own land, but ne could not do it, Lud finally Ota wanted to come to ' America with him as his servant, tbe understanding being that he should return to Africa later with Mr. Ver ner and to his own country. He was turned over to the museum of natu ral history until Mr. Verner returns to Africa and that is where the trou ble started. HIS LOVE FOR MONEY. One of the New York papers, in speaking of his love for money, al ready acquired, says : "If a photographer wants him to pose he must first produce money. Ht will not show himself on special occasions unless he is given coin. Reporters have to shell out quarters, every few minutes or he becomes absent. The general orowd in the park sees him, however, as he hauntc the monkey-hon- e. He ?B saving thc numey religiously to buy a wife when be gets back to Africa. Then is no sign of native oruelty aboul him. He will probably treat th? little black girl that he buys witt consideration far above what sh< could expect from a lord and mastei who had not traveled as Ota bau. MWhen the sun came up yesterda] morning Ota Benga was missed fron his room in the Primate's house He had gone out clothed in his uni form of army khaki, for a few houri in the jungle of woods back of th? monkey house. There he has raadi Afrioan traps for squirrels of twig Foley's Kidney Cure will oure any casi of kidney trouble that is not beyon< medical aid. J. W. Bell. and strings.

"Delegations of negro ministe! from the oity have appeared at th park and remonstrated with the off cials for keeping Ota Benga "im prisoned" there. They say it i slavery. The answer is that Ot oan go when he pleases. And Ot himself looks at the civilized colore brethren with horror and vows tba he will not leave the park till Mi Verner comes in a month or so t take him home to Africa " Mr. Verner is expeoted to visi his parents in Columbia before goin baok to Afrioa and a statement frot him will be of peculiar intcrest.
