ONE CENT la Omtw Wr Teefc. rTtaawl iKewarh JUMPED FROM A LINER, SWAM 8 HOURS AT SEA Then Along Came a Tramp to Pick Up Interpreter. A BLUE WATER RESCU YARN Which Proves, the Carpathla'a Officers fay, That Paul Soldier Wont Get Loat Anywhere. The Cunarder Carpathla, In from the Mediterranean ye.l.rday. brought to port a story of a rescue at which, they said, Is without parallel In tha history of ocean navigation, and everybody wno heard it readily agreed with them.

Hera la thm Hory a. the puraer told It: The Carpathla eaUed from New York for Naples, Trieste, and Flu ma last Aug. A tw hours before sailing time a neatly dressed young man appeared at the Cunerd pier. He told the gateman that be wanted a Job on tha Carpathla. ad asked how to go about catting- It.

Oq and see Mr. Hodgson, the Puraer. He hires fellows like you when they are needed," the gateman told blra. The man went- -1 apeak English. Italian.

and Hungarian fluently," he told the Puraer. and i I knew that this vessel carries great numbers of people of tba last two nationalities I thought I might get a chance to work my way home aa an Interpreter. My name la Paul Beldler and my home la In Flume, Hungary. A year ago I left there a young wife and two little children. Three weeks ago 1 heard that they were la straits, and that my wife had had to close our HtUe home.

Now want to go back and set things right, but If you don't give me a Job so that I can work my paa-aage I don't eee how I can possibly get there." Mr. Hodgson Uked tha young man's looks and hired him. Two hours later the Carpathla sailed for tha Medlterre neea, and tha happiest man on board, apparently, was young Beldler. He went about his work with a cheerfulness that attracted attention, and tha stswarda con. emulated themselves that Puraer Hodgson bad been able to pick up ao talented and accommodating an Interpreter.

But when the Carpathla waa a little under two days out of Gibraltar Beldler began to grow morose. He seemed to have remembered suddenly tha troubles at home, and how bad they were, and It waa Impoealble to ooneole him. He became mora and mora disconsolate, and by nightfall of Aug. 0 waa about tha most miserable-looking being the fOlke on ship board had ever seen. About 8:30 o'clock that night one of tha sailors saw Seidler walk to tha rail on tha starboard side of the quarter deck, look Into the water for a moment, and than Jump overboard.

Tha sailor threw a life buoy after tha fallow. Tb.n shouted jua overboard! and In leaa than aj minute tha great engines of tha liner had ceaaed singing and a lifeboat manned by its craw was half way to the water, Through a rift In the clouds tha moon was shining brightly, and by Its light tba msn In tha boat could see the struggling lorra of the interpreter In the water about twenty-five yards away from the Carpathla. They shouted encouragement mm. i 1 don't want in Ilva. t.at tn.

Aim. Please don't try to savs me." came back the Hungarian's voice. 1 But all the same the sailors urged the beat on. They were within about a dosen yards of him and the sailor In the bow of the boat had his hook out to drag- the interpreter In when a cloud obscured the moon. In the darkness Beldler disappeared, and when half an later tha moon again ahone throuwh a rift In the cloud he was nowhere In eight.

Unwilling to live up the search the lifeboat cruised about for an hour, but valnlv. Then the boat returned and the vessel resumed her way. Late on the afternoon of the next day the Carpathla arrived at Gibraltar and ins officers reportod to the port author! tie that on the day before one of the a company had committed aulolde by jumping into the sea. About the same time the British tramn steamahlo Ben- shew, on her way to Naples, passed Gib raltar. Bhe did not stop nor did she communicate with tha marine observer there.

That night the Carpathla sailed for Naples. Early the next day ahe over-htuled the Benshaw. As she came abreast of the trarao the officer on the bridae saw that the Benshaw was flying the International Code signal meaning 1 wish communicate. h.t la it you wish to aayT" an swered the Carpathla.

Domestic Trade of Packer Incrcaeed Enormously After Exposures. WAiHXNOTOK, Sept. Sv The beef scan dal revelations made this year failed to Interrupt the output of the Chicago pack- In fact, their domes tie business- In the first seven month, of this year, dur ing tha greater part of which time the country waa agitated by tha expos-ores of conditions la Packlngtown. actually Increased. This showing la mads la tha report of the Department of Commerce and Labor of domestla trade movements In July, and for the seven months of 1908 from Jan.

1. Shipments of packing house products from Chicago during July amounted to 203.253.030 pounds. In contrast with 400,724 to July. 1800. and 136,660.716 In 1004.

During the first aevea months of tha present year similar shipments aggregated 1.675.486,282 pounds, nearly 800.000.-000 In exceas of corresponding movements In U03, and over 250,000,000 greater than In ISO. The' three largest Itsma were 670,041,605 pounds of dressed beef. 183 pounds of cured meats, and 248,929,232 pounds of lard. SHtial Tk Nrm York Ttmts. CHICAGO, Sept Tilden, President of the National Packing Company, said that tha increased domestic trade' for July waa due largely to the big cotton crop In the South.

Tho South has had an enormous crop of cotton, and the country la full of money and prosperity," he said. There baa been considerable of a demand for beef, and a big demand for ham, bacon, and other hoar products. The South has never given us so. much trade before. There has been no yellow fever there, the factories are running, and the people are living off the fat of the tend.

la a general way. conditions are more prosperous than ever before. Tbe popu lation la Increasing, there la more money per capita, more money in the savings banks, more employment, and the same at better wages. It would be atrange Indeed if the meat Industry, even with the back set It received a few months ago, did not reflect this general prosperity. J.

Ogden Armour said: "The domestla trade has remained reasonably firm In spite of the attacks made upon the pack- era. What trade we loat la gradually com ing back. The exports are still pretty low, but wa hope to regain lost ground. The moral affect of the new Inspection service Is fast reoovering our trade for us." I am surprised." said Louis F. Swift, that tha domestlo trade had stood up so well.

Exports have dwindled down to such a degree that I have bea giving that situation my entire attention." TRAGEDY REVEALS SECRET. Mr J. D. Green of Woodbury Drowned with Charlea Hughes. ALLKNTOWN, Pernio Sept, Charles Hughes and Mrs.

IIIGGINS TO REPUBLICANS: PUT DOWN THE BOSSES Governor Summons Party to De feat Them In Fight for ControL SILENT ON RENOMINATION Tha Bosses, Ha Says, Unable to Rule, Have Turned In, Anger onHlm and Roosevelt trial to TU Nrm Ytrk Tim.

ALBANY. Sspt ft. Gov. Hlggina broke silence to-night by giving out a brief but pointed statement attacking bosses In this State whom he doea not mention by name, and in which he warns tbe Republicans of the 8tate against tbe danger of a return to the old system of boas con trol. He arrays President Roosevelt on his aide In the present factional struggle.

The statement gives no Intimation of the Governor's attitude on tbe subject of a denomination, but says there Is an abundance of capable, honeat men, who, If nominated, will carry; the State by 100.000 plurality ag-alnat frothy demonstrations of superior virtue and insincere promises of Impossible reforms." The statement la full follows: This la a critical period in the history of tbe Republican Party in the State. A struggle for the control of the party or ganisation and the party nominations Is on between the bosess, who turn angrily upon the President and the Governor, whom they have been unable to use for their selfish ends, and the Republicans who believe that to win auccess the party must serve the people. -t I am a firm believer In party organ isation and party leadership, but I have no faith In the boss whose loyalty to the people'e repreaentatlvea la measured by their personal allegiance to him. Such a one serves his party only when he can compel his party to serve him. Last Winter the Governor and the Legislature administered publlo affairs without the assistance of a boss.

The general welfare was not subordinated to the welfare of the party organisation. Legislation waa not a system of personal rewards and revenges. The result waa creditable, but It caused a slump In the value of bossism. which depends upon the ability to deliver the gooda. The danger now is that there may be return to the old system.

The "Repub lican Party has an abundance of capable. loyal, honeat men. any one of whom will. If carry the State tbht Fan by upward of 100,000 plurality, against frothV demonstrations of superior virtue and insincere promises of Impossible re forms, provided he comes before tbe peo ple as a Republican of character and prtactple untagged Soma politicians believe that the reason for the Governor's silence on his own candidacy is because the Governor be lieves the publlo as well as the bosses la taking hla oandidacy for granted. Others think that he Is leaving a loophole, by Dig silence, through which to escape should Chairman Odell make good hla statement that Hlggina cannot obtain a sufficient number of delegates to Insure his nomination.

There1 Is a story being- circulated among politicians here that a State Committeeman made the statement that Chairman Odell had admitted that Gov. Hlggins had majority of the delegates to the State Convention. Though no one will aay positively who the committeeman la, the belief obtains that It le John O'Brien of Plattaburg.

MacArthur the Exhibition Degrading. COLORED MINISTERS TO ACT Tha Pygmy Haa an Orangoutang aa Companion Now and Their. Antic Delight tha Bronx Crewda. Several thousand persons took the Subway, the elevated, and the surface cars to the New Tork Zoological Park. In tbe Bronx, yesterday, and there watched Ota Benga, the Bushman, who haa beea put by the management on exhibition there la the monkey cage.

The Bushman didn't seam to mind It and the sight plainly pleased the crowd. Few expressed audible objection to the eight of a human being in a rage with monkeys as companions, and there could bo no doubt that to the majority the Joint man-and-mon- key exhibition wae the moot tntereettng eight In Bronx Park. All the same, a storm over the exhibition was preparing last night News of what the managers of the Zoological Perk were permitting reached the Rev. Dr. R.

8. MacArthur of Calvary Baptist Church last night and he announced hla intention of communicating with the negro clergymen in the city and starting aa agitation to have the show stopped. The person responsible for thia exhibition degrades himself aa much as he doe the African," said Dr. MacArthur. Instead of making a beast of thia little fellow, he should be put la school for the development of such powers as God gave to him.

It Is tpo bad that there 1 not aome society like thst for the Prevention of Cruelty te Children. We eend our missionaries to Africa to Christianise the people, and then we bring one her to brutallse him. "Our Christian missionary societies must take thia matter up at once. I shall eommunlcats with Dr. Gilbert of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church and other paatora of colored oongregatlona, that we -may work tog-ether fn this matter.

They will have my active assistance." Colored Minister Will ProUat Gilbert said he had already decided that the exhibition was aa outrage and that he and other pastors would Join with Dr. MacArthur In seeing to It that 'he Bushman waa released fsom the mon key cage and put elsewhere. Any suspicion that the exhibition was tbe reault of error was contradicted by yesterday's developments. Benga waa removed from the enlmpanseea cage to the -rant-shaped eon at ruction la the was teca-sed'-of- iha Primate House. and oa the cage Was posted this sigm; The Afrlesa Pigmy, "Ota Benga."

Samuel P. Ks-hlblted eeoa afternoon during aapt.mbar. To laereas the ploturesqueneeg of the exhibition, moreover, an orang-outang named Dohong, which has been widely described as showing almost human intelligence, was put la the cage with the Bushman, and with them the parrot which Dr. Verner brought from Africa with Benga. The Bushman and tha orang-outang frolicked together moat of the afternoon.

The two were frequently locked ia each othera end the crowd waa de lighted. There, was always a crowd before the cage, most of the time roaring wits laughter, and from almost every corner of the garden eould be heard the question: Where is the pygmy M-And the answer was, In the monkey bouse." Perhaps as a concession to the faot that it was Sunday, a pair of canvas shoes had been givea to the Bushman to wear. He was barefooted on Saturday. He seemed to like the shoea very much. Over apd over again the crowd laughed at him aa he eat tn mute admiration of them oa hla tool la th monkey cage.

But didn't mind that He has grown used to th crowd laughing, haa discovered that they laugh at everything he doea If won dere why he doe not show It. Proprtl Rady for tha 8how. The exhibition of man and monkey waa scheduled by tbe park management for the afternoon. Even before that time there were Inquiries from the curious, but according to th sign put up th exhibition le to be a matinee. Some time) before 3 o'clock little Benga wae allowed to go into th arenallk cage, where already the appurtenances for his exhibition, such as hie bow and arrow, hi par.

rot, a new target made of malleable clay la a box, and his -net bad been placed. Dohong was let out later, and then the how began. Th crowd before th rage yesterday fluctuated la stse-frota hour to hour, but there wag hardly a time when there were not from 900 to 600 person standing there. The throng wa greatest la th. later afternoon.

Tbe performance of man and monkey Is pot easy to describe. Certainly Dohong is a very patient beast Many time Benga grabbed him by tha orepawa. swung- him as tboug-h he were a bag. and, then dropped him. Then man and monkey grinned.

On other occasions Benga pushed the monkey before him. la thia attitude the pigmy was aot much taller than the orang-outang, and one had a good opportunity to study their points of resemblance. Their heads are much alike, and both grin la the same way whan pleased. Sometime th man and th monkey bagged each other. That pleased the children, and they laughed uproariouety.

Next they did Individual tricks: the moo-key swung on ropes, the pigmy shot his arrow. Occasionally the plgny mimicked th htughter of th crowd. In on instance a boy yelled. Bhoot Shoot! Shoot! aped the Kttle Bush, maa. Soda for a Ruffled Temper.

From time to time It looked aa though the' little Bushman was growing out of patience. Then his keeper led him to the soda-water fountain. The money? Benga le a mercenary person already. He haa learned that money will buy soda. Testerday afternoon bands were often thrust between the bars, to giv th monkey peanuts and to give Ihl Bushman coins.
