African pygmies. Tba numerous '( articles published recently In news papers all over tho United States, about the pygmy placed In Bronx Zoological Park, New vYork city, by Ir. Verner. are ao misleading,, and, in the. majority of instances, so untruev that it behoove one who -saw, the pygmy goon after, he was put tn the park .to ' correct to some ' extent the wrong Impressions given of hint and hi treatment. The New Tork. papers of' Monday, the 10th, gave, excited ec- counts of the African. Bushman, Ota ' Benga, brought from the Congo Free Bute and caged with monkeys; of bis wild and uncouth appearance, resein- i bling an animal to cioaty that he was placed with monkeys In order to illus trate and . emphaslae the Darwinian theory of the evolution ot man; f his , antics with the monkeys, who seemed to recognise In him a fellow-creature, etc. These accounts .of the pygmy Attracted the attention oforae South erner who were stopptnr in the1 city, so on the' afternoon of the loth; the party, of which , I chanced to be a munlMr. nt forth tn vlult tha lurk In. cldeutally and the pygmy,, especially. .Ko . aoojoglcal' park. could be more complete, or more ' interesting than the Bronx, .

'Interest in natural history cannot but .be aroused anew as one realises bis Ignorance of so , much pertaining- to this subject. . ,.. "But It was Ota. Bengs the Afri can pygmy on whom our Interest cen tered, so merely glancing at. the many Interesting creatures we hastened -to the monkey-house. Here with many ' Others, who. had evidently com for . thesame purpose, we went through - the wide, central hall-way, eagerly scanning. the cages on either side. But , among the many chattering monkeys, , chlmpahsees and ourang-outangs,- ao creature half-monkey and half-man was seen. Wire we. then to meet with dlsappolntmsntr Had Ota Benga been spirited away t - At the end of the hall we came upon a group of . five negro . tnen'ln . close consulta tion with a s policeman. t fYom their clerical dress, we at once concluded. . and rightfully, that It was the commit tee of negro preachers who had come out to take ateps toward freeing their 'African brother from the- Indignities 'to .which he was belnfc submitted. Thelrv faces were kullen i and gloomy with . suppressed indignation.. They, . too, were on the lookout for the pyg my, but received the same reply that rn all queries, 'He's somewhere In J the park, where he's been all day.' The crowd seemed of one mind,' re- i smivina no. 10 aerorc unui uui nn had been seen and every one was sat isfied to watch, for awhile the marvel ous acrobatlOv performances of the ourang-outang and the two cblmpan . sees In the, large outside' cage. In th next cage, which was empty, was to be seen a chair and table, on which rested a tiger akin and bow and ar. row, showing where, Benga had given '. his performance the day previous. Oc " th cage was also a sign, stating that he would be exhibited every day dur-. ' in1 September. W didn't wajt long before. Ota Benga appeared ' from a room In th end of the building. With ' hat In hand he hurried Into the crowd, j talking rapidly and taughlntr merrily, while he asked for money. . Instead of a half-naked, savage-looking creature, as pictured by the papers, w saw only an ordinary negro boy apparently IS, but in reality 21 years old. He ' was neatly- dressed In a white duck 'suit. Though hi forehead Is low and sloping, .'and his eyes rather close together, he Is by no means unusual looking, snd would not create any crtmment la a cotton-field down South unless', en account of being tatter dressed than an ordinary cotton-picker, and of course, on account of Ms brokr ,en Engllshr. His bright. Intelligent . face and merry laugh attracted the crowd, i Every ; one stood gitilng in silence St the little' stranger, whoxs very appmranc denoted . hnpplnns snl kindly treatment. Ashe advanced to the side .of the rage the .ourarnr- ' outsng and the rhlmpaniees, seeming to recoenizA in him a friend, rushed to him, extending each a long arm, snd graxped his hand In a hearty shake. The keeper had to. pull Ota lienga from them, for they evidently wanted to ,pull him Into their rage: Once Ton fls the "Jlliie Ttllihon YH' vor" voi will bIwv s.k for Wii T!ll Inn Vsniila nl ny It pUiln. Aluolutfly j. u i o .mi tuns s fjr. - he bf vt-tl to be allowed tn enter th ruga and ilay with Uie anlumls, but the keeper had evidently received In structions not to permit this eKaln.

Several persons talked with him and his friendly man ner and bright xprasion made friends of all present. '.' ' - , - "When-Ota Benga first appeared, I noticed the ' . negro : preachers closely ( and t;! the chang.-In their countenances "i wn : as sun shlnev after storm, Forgetting their grievance, in eagerness to watch every movement of the. pygmy, they seemed to be thoroughly delighted and charm ed.. Instead of the wild creature, pic tured, by newspaper writers, they nt held a happy young African, who was permitted to roam about the park at will. The only foundation for the wild and sensational stories had oome from the fact that Ota was allowed to en ter tho large cage and play with the ourang-outang 'and; the chlmpansoos, a, pastme which h thoroughly en Joyed, and a frolio not unlike that be tween a boy and his dogw . Certain New Tork papers are ever., ready to print, yellow- stories and . th pygmy gav them an opportunity. The re? porta started in New York, have" gone from paper to paper until the entire country has an erroneous version of Ota Benga and his life In Bronx Park. "Dr. Verner brought Ota to St Louis for th exposition , and put him In the ethnological exhibit. ' When the fair closed tha boy was Ukea back to Africa-. Recently Dr. Verner brought him to Nw York -snd placed him, temporarily; : at Bronx : Park, as he knew no other place, and, there," he was 'Certain that Benga would re ceive kind treatment, and would like ly prove of as much Interest. as In BL Louis, where he was exhibited at th World's Pair. . Th negro preachers were anxious to place Ota' Benga n a negro orphan asylum, but wished Dr. Verner to resign - all ligbjt to him, which was declined. Even against this plan for th pygmy welfare were ob jections raised, a many of those In terested in th orphanage feared' h might eat UP som of th dear little orphans. And ao th matter stands. - "Director . Hornaday, of ; Bronx Park, "has been greatly annoyed by this much ado about 'nothing'.' Enoughs enough aays he; 'I have had enough 0( Ota Benga, th African pygmy. Ring up the Brooklyn How ard. Colored' Orphan Asylum.

"But still Benga wanders about th parte playing with his bow and arrow. bouncing a rubber' ball and making uneartbful sounds with a mouth-organ, unconscious qf the manifest in terest of th crowds that throng about him. Forty thousand people visited Bronx Park last Sunday to view the star attraction the wild man from Africa! Benga enjoys thoroughly the letters that com to him from Dr. Verner,' tho .keeper.- to whom th words are unintelligible, reads to him phonetically, while .Benga laughs and noda with delight'. The little Bush man is oblivious of the great notoriety he has obtained, and la evidently en joying his stay in Bronx P'"; CAST.
