Gaston W. Ward,
PROF. QARNERS LECTURE.
An Account of tils Efforts to Study
Monkey Language.
Prof. Rjjp. Garner last night at the
Academy of Music delivered an inter
esting and instructive lecture descrip
tive of his efforts to study the langu
age ofsnonkeys and some of the results
he hoped to secure from his study. It
is to be regretted that larger number
of persons did not avail themselves of
the opportunity of hearing. Prof. Gar
ner. Prof. P. P. Claxton of the State
Normal, in a neat little speech relative
to the speaker's work and labor in the
interest of science, introduced Prof.
Garner.
The speaker began by Baying he had
found much incredulity among the peo
ple in regard to the speech of monkeys
and a tendency to sneer at all efforts
to study the subject. It is not at all
improbable, he said, as speech is any
oral sound that is made with the pre
conceived purpose of conveying an
idea from the speaker to his hearer.
That monkeys possess this precon
ceived purpose is proven by the fact
that they are perfectly competent and
able to follow a causer to its effect and
he has known them to produce a cause,
not in mere imitation of man, but to
secure the effect they know will' follow.
Why should not a monkey talk? He
and man lre and die under the same
conditions, have the same faculties,
similar habits and having these in
common, why should the monkey be
deprived of speech?
Prof. Garner gave an account of his
experiments with the phonograph in
recording human and monkey voice.
By retarding and accelerating the rev
olutions of the wax cylinders he was
able to make the two different voices
so nearly alike they easily fooled the
most noted linguists of the world. He
first began the study in Cincinnati and
carried records of the monkeys' "talk"
to the principal zoological gardens of
America and noticed the effect of what
a monkey in Chicago said would have
upon a monkey of similar species in
New York. In two years he collected
and determined the meaning of nine
monkey "words." His knowledge of
their meaning was so accurate that he
could foretell the effect they would
produce. This convinced him that
some language existed and he deter
mined to go to Africa where he could
more successfully study the languages
and habits of the monkey.
He secured a wire cage and neces
sary equipment and with these settled
in the heart of the African jungle. His
retreat he named "Fort Gorilla." For
two years he remained at the fort with
only a chimpanzee, named "Moses,"
for a companion. Moses was a very
intelligent "boy" and learned to pro
nounce three or four words of the hu
man language. Moses may be con
sidered the leader of his race for he
is the only monkey in the world who
has signed his name to a document.
During his stay he saw twenty-two
gorillas and seven chimpanzees and
secured the record of about ten words
and their meaning. He learned much
of the habits and life of the gorilla,
more than had previously.been learned
regarding these animals.
The perils he encountered, the dan
gers he met, the terrible storms he was
subjected to, surrounded by wild beasts
and snakes in his lonely fort, all
prove that Pref. Garner holds no sac
rific too great in his search for truth.
Prof. Garner now expects to return to
Africa before October and will spend
three years in educating a colony of
chimpanzees. He does not intend to
return to civilization until he has his
colony sufficiently educated to con
verse with human beings.

the president of the last hope that
there might' be peace with honor.
Spain will not make any concessions
looking to an avoidance of war. The
ultimatum was prepared by Secretary
Day, who went over it with the presi
dent before he affixed his signature to
it. Secretary Day said: "The ulti

Something New.
The bicycle drill Thursday night
will be the first thing of the kind ever
seen in Greensboro. I have had the
pleasure of witnessing two or three of
the practice drills and I can assure
pthe public that they will be fully re
paid for the trouble if they attend the
drill tomorrow night. The figures are
well gotten up and with one or two
practices under the management of the
captain Miss Stewart, the drilling
will be made perfect.
I hope the participants in the drill
will be greeted by a full house. All
wheelmen certainly ought to be pres
ent. A Bicycle Rider.
Close Tomorrow Night.
The registration books for the com
ing election will close tomorrow night
(Thursday.) If you have not regis

SAGASTA WAXES WARM.
Makes a Rousing Speech and is Vo
ciferously Applauded.
London, April 19 The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail tele
graphs that Sagasta today assembled
the ministerial majorities of the Cor
tes in the Senate, which was crowded,
He made a speech in which he declared
he did not intend Co declare a politi
cal parliamentary programme. He
added: -
"Acts, not words, are required to
crown all they have tried to throw
against us most infamous calumny,
which fills all Spaniards with holiest
indignation against the villany of
those who try to take away from us
our indisputable soverign rights over
a cherished piece of-Spanish territory.
We make an appeal to all sons of
Spain, to answer properly and repel
with all national might this most odi
ous outrage, the like of which has
never been seen in history.
Our resolution continues to be to
give no provocation, but we are also
resolved not to yield in anything
touching the national honor or the
integrity of Spanish territory , because
we admit no negotiations in questions
of honor, and we do not make traffic
of shame. We prefer to ruin our
selves and to be abandoned by all
rather than do that. The first steps
of the Cortes, about to be inaugura
ted, will be towards supplying the
government with all the means and
resources required under the circum
stances." His speech was received with frantic
applause. Deep emotion was pro
duced by some of Sagasta's words, and
tears were seen in the eyes of many
old Senators.
