ARETHEYBABESORAPES? AN AFRICAN NURSE HIRED FOR TWO LITTLE AFRICANS. They are Called He and It, and She, Their Sister, is Dead—They are Fresh from Haggard’s Wonderful Africa— If They’re Human, They are Wards of the Court or Pauper Immigrants or Chattel Slaves. From the Xew York Sun. The latest arrivals in New York from the heart of the Dark Continent are He and It. There was a She, and She was the sister of He and It. But She died so soon after arriving in England that she did not even have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Haggard. So He and It w, left sisterless orphans in a strange le.o l. But Mr. Herman Reiche, who was in London at the time, bought He and It of the trader who brought them from Africa, and he has just got them to his place of business at 95 Park row, where he has a large collection of everything odd in the animal line, but nothing in any remote degree so odd as the brothers He and It. Mr. Reiohe spurns the idea that He and It are monkeys or gorillas, or anything in the ane line, but insists, although he bought them’for cash on English soil, that they are human beings, and he tells a curious story about them, which he says he believes. There is in Europe, Mr. Reiche says, a certain German who is a trader, and' who goes every winter into the heart of Africa, starting from Cape Town and going as far as he can by rail, and then pushing in the great oxenslrawn wagons in which Mr. Haggard’s hei’oes trek part way to many curious places. On these journeys he col lects ivory, gold dust, and a liquid novi, especially rare animals, which he buys of the natives and brings back to sell at a profit. Last winter he went far up the Zambesi river, and when away beyond Victoria Falls, at a point where white men do not reach once in ten years, he fell in with a tribe of natives who treated him kindly. He bought a good deal of ivory, gold atid other trifles in exchange for suspender buckles, jewsharps, and similar valuables. Among this tribe he found He, She and it living an unhappy life with the prejudice of the community against them. Their mother (so the trader said the natives told him) was a member of the tribe. She was mysteriously stolen away, and after being absent several years suddenly made her appearance, carrying He and It in her arms, while She came limping along l)ehind. The mother was so worn out with making a long journey throHy the wilderness that she died, and was . -,y able to tell before she expired that she ha i been the prisoner of a strange people, and that He, She and It were her offspring. The tribe did not take kindly to the orphans, and they were sadly neglected, so that the traveler had little trouble in purchasing the entire family, paying two tomato cans down on the spot. The trader took the orphans to London, where Mr. Reiche, who had pur chased many curious things of him, bought the orphans too. Mr. Reiche came home on the Servia a few days ago. He wanted to bring He and It along with him, but he could not get a stateroom for them. So he left them with two men in his employ who were going to bring over a number of animals for him, and they took the two strangers with them to Hamburg, where they embarked the Wieland and arrived in this city last week. On the way over the queer little beings slept every night with the men in tneir berths, and conducted themselves with a gentleness and propriety which won every body’s heart. They are only about a year old, and are less than three feet high when they stand erect. Their sister She, who died in Lon don, was 4 years old, and was much larger. They are of a slaty gray color, covered sparsely with a thin reddish hair, their faces, though, being quite bare, with the exception of a sparse growth of Galway whiskers on their infantile cheeks. They are pot-bellied like little Bushmen. They have tapering fingers and polished finger nails, short, flat thumbs, long arms and no tails. Their heads are rather Caucasian than African, and the most remarkable fea ture about them is their large, gentle, and intelligent brown eyes. They are of an affectionate disposition, and when taken from their cage they will set content edly on Mr. Reiche’s knees with their arms thrown about his neck. They whimper and cry and cling to him when he puts them back in their cage, and when he leaves the room they wail and orj f after him like two veritable children. He (not Mr. Reiche) is somewhat larger than It, and It has a way of going and sitting down on his brother's knee and throwing his arm about his neck, while He supports It with his arm as an other would a child. They require so much more tender care than the employes about the store are able to give them that Mr. Reiche had this ad vertisement put in yesterday’s Sun: Wf ANTED, a good, reliable colored woman, IT experienced in the car. 1 bringing up of babies, as nurse for two wii,! children from Africa: must be tidy, clean, auu of kind disposi tion. CHAS. REICHE & BRO., 25 Park row. He (Mr. Reiche) was not long without an applicant, and .engaged a kind-hearted col ored woman as a nurse to look after the little waifs. They took much more kindly to her at flirt than she did to them, but after the first oinbarrassmcnt of the intro duction was over she held them both in her arms and they clung affectionately about her neck. They will have a room to themselves in tne upper part of the store, and there they will have a bed such as other people have, and the nurse will tuck them up in it comfortably and see them asleep before she leaves them at night. One fine day she will take them in her arms und carry them out for an airing, but they have got to have an interview with a tailor first, the airiness of the Central African costume not being adapted either to the dimato or the social prejudices of New York. He is not only the larger of the two, but the most vivacious and frivolous. He likes to hang head downward by his toes while It wraps himself up in a woolen blanket and watches He out of his round solemn eyes in a mildly reproachful way. It is wholly lacking in the delicate sense of humor which is one of He’s strong social points. They are to have a little table and choirs to match in a few days, and it is thought this will have a tendency to repress He’s unconventional geniality at meals. He rather likes to stand on his head, for in stance, while he eats a cold potato, but this he will get over, for lie is thoroughly tractable, aud will take his seat at table and handle his knife and fork as other peo ple do. It will be observed that if the children are human an interesting complication arises under the laws forbidding the im portation of human chattels into this coun try, aud that Coin.

From the New York Evening Sun. The remnant of a human body was found Wednesday in a meadow which the Raritan river washes about two miles below Bound Brook. It was possible only to recognize it as a part of what hail once been the body of a man. The flesh was almost all gone. The corruption indicated that it had been for many weeks in the water. It was proba bly a part of the body of Winkie Conover, though this conjecture rests merely upon what happened to Winkie Conover when ho was last seen. Then lie was swimming the iey river to escape from men and bullets, and before he reached the shore that would put the river between him and his pursuers he groaned, then sank, and his body went under the ice. Since then no trace of Conover has been discovered, and though at first men who knew him said that he was a cunning water rat, who was able to dive under the ice, swim a long way under water, and thus es cape, yet, when nothing was ever again heard of him, it w as regarded as certain that this disappearance was no trick, but that he was death Winkie Conover was a burglar, and he was engaged in a petty burglary on Hie night when he disappeared. On the night of Feb. 9, of this year, a night operator in the railway telegraph of fice in Bound Brook noticed that a light that was kept burning all night in the store of Albaugh & Butts was very bright. The night was dark and very cold. Everybody in the little village was asleep except the operator and ton or twelve railway em ployes. The light was so unusually bright that the operator, George Somers, watched it from the platform of the railway station. He soon saw what appeared to be the shadows of men in the store. He went across the street, that he might see better, and then he discovered that two men were robbing the store and the post office, which is in the store. Somers told the railway employes that burglars were at work in the store and the idea of capturing them was just the kind of fun the trainmen wanted to pass a waiting hour away. They started out to surround the building, but it occurred to them that the burglars’ pistols would be a strong de fense, for not one of them had any weapon but a stick. Very quietly Somers and the others went abotit the village aud awakened men who possessed firearms. The proprietor of the hotel, George Goddis, hastily dressed and came out with a double-barrelled shotgun. James Hogan was but a few minutes in dressing and loading his gun, and in a few moments a dozen men armed with all kinds of firearms approached the store. A face appeured at the window in the store. The burglars had heard the men outside, and oiie quick look revealed that there was no possibility of escape, except by fighting a way through the cordon. The burglars ran to the back end of the store, evidently meaning to get out by a back door. The men stood in front of the door with their arms cocked, ready to shoot when the burglars made the break. Of a sudden the door was burst open, and a man whose white shirt offered a good target in the moonlight rushed out. He turned toward the railroad track and was so fleet that not a shot was fired at him. The party followed him. however. One of them tried to head him off and trip him. Somers, the telegraph operator, who was not armed, was fleeter footed than the others, and was able in a moment almost to grasp the burglar. The men with the firearms dared not shoot, for Somers and another man were between them and the burglar. Land lord Goddis stood with his double-barrelled bird gun at his shoulder waiting for a chance. He is an expert shot, and believed he could bring down the burglar when he had fair aim. Somers and the other pursuer for the in stant ran to one side, leaving an opening through which Goddis took rapid aim and fired. The charge was a heavy one, and the report was very loud. Goddis was surpris ed to see the burglar still on his feet, but Somers saw him stagger a moment, as though about to fall. He must have had a large part of the heavy charge in his hack, but he recovered himself, and though firing was began, and several volleys from re volver aud gun were discharged, the bur glar seemed not to be hit. But he stopped for an instant and fired three shots from his revolver at the pursuers. Then he turned again. He scran I -'xi up the railway embankment as quickly as a cat. and went down the other side. The railway is fenced in by a barbed wire fence. The burglar throw his body against these barbs, and with such impulsion that he broke the fenco down. He must have mangled himself dreadfully, but he kept right on, making for a strip of marshy meadow that lay between the Raritan river aud the railway. No one thought he would try to escape by the river. The water was very high anil running in a rapid current, that carried driftwood and loosened cakes of ice along at great speed. But that was his plan for es cape. He was going to swim the river, not withstanding the ice, the current, and the cold. Somors was right at his heels, rush ing as rapidly as possible through the marshy meadow. On the brink of the river the burglar stopped a moment. Ho tore off a pair of rubbers which were on his feet, and then threw them at Somers, saying. “Come on, now. Follow me if you dare,” and then plunged into the river. He struck out for the opposite shore, and his vigorous strokes and the strong current carried him in a moment well in toward the other side. Then Somers heard him groan. Either the chill or his wounds had disabled him. aud the next moment Somers saw his head which had been bobbing up aud down with the current disappear, while his hat floated away with the current. The rest of the pursuers had seen all this from the railroad track, and they hurried down to the bridge and crossed over it. Thus they expected to catch the burglar when he reached the opposite shore. But they waited there in surprise that he did not come, and they called at the two men who stood on the bridge to head him off if ho decided to go dowu with the cur rent; but these men said he had not passed. Then one of them saw the hat, and was about to shoot at it, but the other begged him not to. “Don’t shoot him in the water.” he said, and his companion put down his gun. Homers came up and said that the man had gone down, and so the party walked up and down both banks and even searched the country far and near until daylight. But they saw no more of the burglar who went down under the ice cakes. Some of the party remained at the store to capture the other burglar. A man’s head was cautiously put from the door whence the other burglar had made his rush to escape. And when the eyes in that head saw a double-barrelled gun aimed right at them and heard the man who held the gun say, “Put up your hands!” he made no pro test whatever, hut yielded quickly, and only asked that the firearm that was aimed at him be put down. He held his hands up and pleasantly sub mitted to a search. A small revolver and a few postage stumps, a little money and some cigars wore all the searchers found. In half an hour he was committed to jail bv a magistrate who was route. 1 out of Bed for this purpose, and in a few hours was in the jail at Somerville, having treated the officer who took him there'to some cigars which it was afterward discovered he had stolen from that officer’s store. Ho said his name was William Rockett, a Bowery lodging house frequenter, and he had niet the man who disappeared in the river in the Coliseum lodging house. The man had suggested the burglary, and seem ed to know jusi whore to go in Bound Brook. He knew this man only as Frank Wilson. They made attempts to enter sev eral other stores iwfore they broke into the post office. j | The Raritan river was dragged up a >g down for two davs, hut the body of M > j burglar was not found, and some of tne | officers thought he had escaped. When it I THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST .10, 1887. was found that the burglar was Prank, or “Winkie," Conover, by the identification of a picture of him by the other burglar, then the detectives said that he had escaped, they were sure, for he was a splendid swim mer and a perfect duck in the water. The detectives knew him. They had nabbed him before, and he had served one term in the Trenton. State prison for arson. He was a wild youth, and a great sorrow to his most worthy father, who is a trusted em ploye of Baldwin, Cready & Cos., of Plain field. But Conover has never been hear! from since that night, and the place where the remnant of the body was found, and the circumstances of his flight and disappear ance that night, convince every one that the hotly is his, and that he escaped his pursuers that night because he was drowned. MARRIED WOMEN’S NICKNAMES. The Odd Way3 in Which the Idlers at Saratoga Address Their Wives. Mom the Nero York Sun. Saratoga, Aug. 27. —When a lounger on the veranda of one of the big hotels at this place heals a man say, “Hurry up, little one,” or “Come along, birdie,” he may be sure that it is a husband addressing his wife and that she is enormously fat. Apparently all husbands of fat women address their wives with diminutives, if not with nick names fit only for small women or little girls. “Daisy,” “Birdie," and “Baby” appear to be the pet names most favored by the husbands of mam moth women. In this haven of con jugal rest, for Saratoga is distinc tively for married couples and has less con veniences and attractions for lovers than aiiy place in America, one gets a deep knowledge of the wavs of wedded folk. This matter of nicknames for wives is one of the most interesting studies. To pursue this branch of learning it is necessary to sit for an hour or two, on any afternoon, while the music is playing in the inner garden either of the United States Hotel or of the Grand Union. All the rest the married couples will do for the student. They will talk unguardedly in his hearing, and he wilt soon be able to classify the couples and the pet names, for certain names go with cer tain sorts of couples as infallibly as pie goes with supper in New England. The very swell and exquisite young mar ried men, who dress vainly aud seek to give the impression that they belong to the F. C. D. C., dance at Delmonico’s and know' all the fellows who have yachts, call their wives with monosyllables, such as Puss, Chris, Hen, Fan, Loo, Tot. There seems to be only one marked exception in the list. You often hear one of these wives called “Popsy.” There are two Popsies at the States and there is one at the Union. Oddly enough the fathers of these same fellows, men so well kept that you can’t say whether they are 45 or 65, are fond of drawing out the full names of their helpmeets, as for instance, “Come heah, Francese,” or “Now, my deali Eleanor, you must have a wrap.” Equally fixed is the rule that thin ana sickly women, dys peptics. neuralgics, and the like, are addressed by their liege lords as wife, madame, or Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Brown, or whatever. The invalid husbands, and all the prim and precise ones as well, address their better halves as “my dear.” This, by the way, is the established custom with the Hebrews, though they usually are heard to pronounce the words “mine teer. ” The clergymen seem to have united upon the word “mother” as a title for their wives, and the men who are so common here, and who seem to be wrapped up in an only girl or boy, call their wives “ma." Other nickname* resist classification thus far, though perhaps the key to all can be found by diligent application. There is no end to the Dollies aud the “my loves,” while one hears a miscellaneous lot of passages by addressing their comrades as “Pet.” One plump little wife is gradually becoming known to everybody in one of the hotels as “Sugar,” the nickname her husband calls out assiduously and loudly all day in the parlors and on the promenades. The temp tation for others to call her Sugar is grow ing painful. She is not the only feminine confection, for, at the States, there is a dimpled brunette who answers to her hus band as “Sweetv;” and yesterday a prim-looking wife, somewhat the shape of a board, was ad dressed as “Sweetness” before all the crowd at the spring in Congress Park. It may be an oversight, but there does not seem to be a “darling” in town. A ruddy faced, corpulent man of 40, who looks as if he was born and brought up in the Stock Exchange, always addresses his wife as “Precious,” and in the same hotel a hus band, who appears to hail from the West, replies to his wife with “Yes, nigeon,” “All right, pigeon,” and so on. As it happens, there is something about the wife’s appear ance or manner, or perhaps it is her shape, that renders this oduost of nicknames ]iecu liarly appropriate. The young fellows who are spending their time in pulling the down on their upper lips we fond of pointing out “Sugar” to all their acquaintances, and in another week they will doubtless add “Pigeon” to their stock of fun. WOOLFOLK SEEN BY HIS SISTER. His Aunt Also Calls—Do They Believe Him Guilty? The Air Line train, which reached At lanta Saturday at noon, l>ore two passengers who wero dressed in model attire, and whose faces were concealed by heavy black veils, lawyer Walker was in waiting to receive them. He helped them into a hack, got into the vehicle, and the three drove to the coun ty jail. These ladies proved to be Mrs. Crane, Wootfolk’s aunt, and Mrs. Florence Edwards, his sister. Woolfolk was un unusually early Satur day morning, and lie took more than usual aire with his toilette. He told the turnkey that he hail slept well, and felt better tbun for some days past. He ate a hearty break fast. During the (homing several visitors desired to see hint, hut none were admitted into his presence. When the prisoner re ceived his dinner he nte it with a relish. Ho told Jailor Osborn that he expected to see some of his kin, but did not say who they were. Jailor Poole had been informed in advance of the coming of the ladies, and he prepared a place in which they could meet the pris oner. The cell near the door had l>eon ren dered as neat and clean ns possible, and several chairs had been placed in it. In ad dition to these chairs there was a small bed - stead in the cell. It was nearly 2 o’clock when the two ladies and the lawyer wore conducted into this apartment. ’ Shortly afterward Jailer Poole opened Woolfolk s cell, and let him out. He was taken to the front cell, and everybody except the pris oner, his sister, his aunt and his lawyer withdrew. When Wolfolk’s sister met him she did not kiss him. Neit her did he offer to kiss her and his aunt. They did not even shake hamls. The accused murderer simply said: “How are you, sister, and Aunt Florinef” They answered him kindly, and he took a seat on the lied near them both. Mr Walker occupied one of the chairs. There was a short pause, which was broken by the cul prit, who said: “Sister and Aunt Florine, of course you know what 1 am in here for. You know what a horriblo crime I am charged with. But I want you to look me in the face and say, do you think I am guilty I Before God and man. I am not. I am un innocent man. I did not commit that crime.” What answer the ladies made to this challenge is not known, but one of the pris oners, who was eavesdropping, told the re porter that he thought he heard Woolfolk'* sister say: “Tom, I can’t think that you did it!” Thl* same eavesdropper says ho is certain ho heard both visitors exprees the hope that Woolfolk would bo acquitted, and that they proffered him all the assistance in their power. The interview lasted about half an > r iour, but during this time little or nothing was said about the crime. The prisoner did not manifest much affection for his kins women, anti did uot show much regret at their departure. MILLINERY. Tvitr\ v' oi a i , iiv ebyTt KROUSKOFPS Mammoth Millinery House.
