ye ede 4 THE EVEN.NG STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C.; SATURDAY, JULY ¥8, 1889—-TWELVE PAGES: IN AFRICAN WILDS. ——_ AN IMAGINARY TRIP UP THE CONGO. Utensils and Weapons of the Na- tives in the National Museum. NE who believes in psychometry or who has an unfettered im- agination might stand before a certain case in \ the National museum }and with little effort }take a journey up the J) heart of Africa,through many miles of river broadened out like a inland sea, where the pent-up stream rushes madly along, through vast equatorial forests, past villages of little huts where tom-toms beat alarms and from which wild, half-nude, black savages with assegais and bows and arrows swarm forth blowing discordant horns and threatening with terrible death the intruder into their country. As this is only an imaginary journey, the im- aginary traveler can fancy either that his boat is speedy enough to outstrip the canoes of the savages or that he and his party are provided with a machine gun like Stanley's, which soon routs the daring but disorganized mob. But as the boat proceeds on its way now and then can be seen lurking in the tall grass on the river bank @ naked warrior watching the progress of the party. The sound of the war horns is notan effort of the Canco SArcnem WPBOVISIO BOK imagination, or was not when « 5. act reporter stood before the case, for Mr. Walter Hough of the museum had opened the glass door and taken out along horn or trumpet made of the tusk of a huge elephant. On the inner side of the curve near the point of the tusk was the hole to which the lips were applied. Mr. Hough put his mouth to the aperture and blew the horn. The sound that came forth echoed through the halls and startled people in distant rts of the big building. It was a hoarse bel- lowing and died away in aloud groan. There was another war horn made of a smaller tusk, but which produred, when winded, an equal amount of discord. These elephant-tusk horns are browned by age. In the case are many articles brought from the wilds of Africa, and especially from the Congo region, by Lient. Taunt, Mr. Tisdel and the Rev. R. R. Gurley. There is a drinking horn carved with considerable skill. The horn is that of a buf- falo and its black surface is highly polished, Near it is a gourd bottle, inclosed in a_wicker- ware case. The bottle, which will hold about a gallon, was used by its original owner for holding palm oil or some other oil, The neck and stopper are ornamented with small shells, turporocamys ory Another object near by is also made of a gourd. ‘This is a long and slender gourd with a cross- shaped opening cut near one end. The plug cut from this opening is attached to a cord which passes into the gourd and out through one end, where it forms @ loop. The plug is cut out so that its edges are beveled, = it will fit into the cross-shaped opening, but cannot fall in, so when a person pulls the loop outside he pulls the plug or cover over the aperture and sloses the gourd. This gourd receptacle is a sort of trunk or satchel into which the savage packs such personal effects as he wants to take with him on a journey. He carries the satchel by the loop of cord, and that holds the plus or cover in place. A small cylindrical box, made of bark, is used by the Kross near the coast for carrying supplies of provisions. There is a curious little musical instrument found among the people of a Congo tribe which shows much ingenuity in construe tion and an ear for music which would indicate that the descendants of Africans in this coun! came honestly by their love for melody. This isa little wooden piano, made with a hollow- sounding box, upon which are fastened a num- ber of pieces of wood like wooden tooth-picks, but varying somewhat in length. The row of sticks is secured to the top of the box by a cross- jiece near one end. Then another stick or ridge is forced under these sticks at their free ends and pushed under so as to bend them up and leave a length of an inch or two of each stick, which when touched by the finger will vibrate like a tuning fork, giv- ing forth a musical note. Each stick gwes forth a different note, and one with a quick ear would soon learn to pla atune on this rude piano. There are ttle wooden stools, hol- lowed out on top like the seatof a saddle. These are so low that the knees of the person sitting on one would be nearly as high as his chin. Aniron bell wi jaind in — icppet but has a cl that makes a good de: noise. Ther iss bell like this fastened on the end of along shaft similar to the shaft of spear. This is carried by the chief of a war party, who in ng through the long grass. which often is so high completely hide a man, ke ringing, so his followers can tel where he is, This grass is strong and coarse, and has so sharp an edge that the blades whipping against ‘a man’s face sting and cut the flesh. As a pro- tection inst this some of the savages wear masks, of these masks, a sorteof wicker basket into which a man thrusts his face, is shown in the collection. It is ingeniously con- structed, so that it closes like a ciam-shell by the tension of the twisted rattan, The wearer opens it and thrusts his head between the two halves and it presses against his head at the sides with force enongh to hold it on. An interesting object in the col- lection from an ethnological point of view is a drinking-cup with a handle like a beer mug. It is carved of wood with a tesselated pattern wrought on the outside. This wood is black almost as ebony, a color im- parted to it by burying it in the earth near a running stream, ‘The effect of the iron and other minerals in the earth produces the dark color. ‘There is another small mug or vase carved of wood which has not been colore The square patterns seen in the carving on the drinking cup bear a strong resemblance to the favorite patterns in weaving. There are eral specimens of the work of the Congo weavers in the case and one of the primitive looms with which the work is done. ‘The men do the weaving on the Congo. Their cloth is woven sometimes usually from fine grass, thongh it made of bark fibers, th Colored fi patterns, Diamonds and ions of such forms are chiefly The people who dw. re poke for clothiag. ctions are rich mw to variegate squares and ¥ used in the designs, the Congo do not « Houg) and poor in ciothi a of perpetual feud a nakedness, The grass or fiber cloth is coarse like sacking. but it is highly valied. A coarse cioth is made also of cotton, which grows in abun in this region, A Congo negro ma through life with so little clothing that his whole wardrobe might be put into a boy's pocket, but when he is dead his relatives swathe his body in many folds of cotton cloth, The only articles of wearing apparel in the mu- seum collection are a woman’s cestus and sev- eral specimens of caps and headdress. The cestus is merely a girdle to go around the waist, with dangling black strings that descend below the hips and short skirt like the fly-net ofahorse. A Congo woman attired in this gire dle would be considered as somewhat over- dressed. There are several feathered head- dresses, one with many plumes attached to a finely-woven skull cap. A tidy headdress, worn as a badge of rank by a chief, consists of three or four RWINOCEROUS, HIDE-WHIP nina Hi HT Hull black feathers stuck into a little bas.ci-work cap hardly larger than a thimble. This little cap sat upon the very topmost point of the chief's topknot. There are some curiously- shaped wooden spoons in the case. The bowls are as large almost as those of soup ladles, They are neatly carved, and in one case the handle is wound about with strips of brass, These spoons ar d to have been used in the cannibal feasts of tribes on the Aruwimi river. An elaborate spoon is one carried by a chief for his special use. It is made of ivory and has a deep bowl and a double handle, It is attached to a case made of finely pleated cloth, from which hangs, a8 am ornament, a bunch of the leathery ‘hairs from an ele- phant’s tail. These hairs are employed in a practical way as well as for ornament, as an effective-looking — fly-brush in the collection is made from them. It is upon their weapons that the Congo savages devote most work and skill. Nearly all the African tribes have learned the process of smelting iron. Mr. Hough suggests that from the ancient and a ce mother of arts sciences, came this knowledge of the use and manufacture of iron throughout the entire “Dark Continent.” The supplies the ore Process. The .

The shields made by Congo savages are i way as their blades They are made of fine basket work upon a frame consisting of an oblong hoop. Splints of rattan are stretched on this hoop, runmiug longitudinally on one side and transverse! on the other. Regular patterns are woven into the basket work, and the shields produced are models of lightness and strength. One in the National mnseum was taken as a trophy by Lient, Taunt from a huge savage who was killed while attacking Lieut. Taunt’s ASSEGAIS FRom THE CONGO SAASSAI WARRIOR, arty. Another interesting object in the col- jection is a specimen of Congo currency. This isa piece of copper weighing three or four pounds, and fashioned in the shape of a St. Andrew cross. One of these pieces repre- sents the value of a slave. When European traders penetrated the Congo region they soon learned the value of these copper crosses, and the next ships that came brought from England a big consignment of Congo money of English manufacture. The currency of the country could not, however, be inflated in any arbitrary way. The natives detected at once the slight differences between their own copper crosses and the counterfeit and refused to receive the latter. They use as a medium of exchange, also, pieces of iron formed in the shape of a spade, from which the money receives the name of “spade money.” os Saturday Smiies.

From the New York Mail and Express, A rather amusing incident occurred on one of the uptown cross-town cars the other evening. The car was packed with people who had just returned from Coney Island. Three young men were seated together and chatting in a lively way, when the car stopped at @ crossing and there entered a lovely young lady. Noone made a sign to give her a seat. She stood in front of the three young men and held a strap. The latter, in subdued tones, urged ther com- Fat fe eres | é vEitH E F i i i by and said, temerity: “The young logy iss ‘coat mane << by noise of laughter | NEW YORK WANTS THE EARTH, And Included With It the Exposition of 1892. BUT THERE ARE REASONS WHY IT SHOULD BE HELD IN WASHINGTON INSTEAD, AND THESE REASONS CAN BE SEEN EVEN BY A NEW YORKER—OPENING OF THE COLUMBIA COLLEGE ANNEX FOR WOMEN. Correspondence of Tax EVENING Stan New Yonr, July 12. There is one argument for the location of the proposed exposition of 1892 at Washington which should be sufficient in itself toneed none other. That argument is politics. There will be so much politics in the city of New York in 1892 that no voting man is going to care arap about whether Christopher Co- lumbus landed on these shore’ just 400 years ago or whether he didn’t; and you can't geta man interested in present issues in partisan supremacy to care a bag of beans about cele- brating issues 400 years old. In Washington, onthe contrary, there is fo Tammany, no County Democracy, no “Johnny O’Brien’s byes,” no voting, and hence no politics. With no outside engrossing daties on their hands and minds, the Washingtonians would devote themselves heartily to the exposition and to the entertainment of the visitors from every- where. But the above isthe weaker side of the argument. If the exposition should be held in New York during the year of a presidential election there is a dead certainty that it would be used as a means to further political intrigue, This is the stronger side of the argument. Pol- iticians are not angels, it isn’t necessary to say. And we don’t want the greatest American ex- position controlied or manipulated by poli- ticians, ‘TS FOR NEW YORK. But we have the best loca- tion in the world for an exposition, Look at our great parks.” Well, look at them. Where are they? Away off up in Westchester county, the nearest of them not less than a journey of an hour and twenty minutes from our city hall, Central park has been proposed, which would bring the exposition right down in the center of the city, but if the park commissioners at- tempt to raze to the ground the lovely shade- trees with which Central park is so beautifully supplied in almost every portion, or to level the ravines and sioping hills, the citizens would raise sucha howl about their ears as would soon stop the desecration. ‘The new parks are far to the north of the Harlemriver. New York's rapid transit facilities in this direction are even now inadequate to carry the population of the up- town districts to and fro dail Were the exposition held in Washington the buildings could be erected in the very heart of the city in a park already level and practically clear of obstructions. irom any of the lead- ing hotels it is but a few minutes’ walk, and one of the greatest railroads in the country lands its passengers directly on the grounds, ACCOMMODATING THE CROWDS, New York says it can accommodate the hordes of people that will visit the exposition better than Washington can. Now. New York in every person where it is built up is over-populated. t has more hotels than Washington, but when these hotels are filled the lodgings-hunter will find the boarding houses, the fiats, the tene- ments already tilled up to their limit. During the Washington centennial here visitors were ompelled to lodge at Jersey City, Newark, Elizabeth and in New Jersey; at Brooklyn, Coney Island, Rockaway, and Flush- ing. Long Island, and on Staten Island, Washington is accustomed to “doubling up” for the accommodation of crowds, as she has done it every four years for many decade The whole city transforms itself when neces- sary, into an immense boarding house. There is no over-population, hence there is plenty of room to spare, And if New York has suburban accommodations. 80 has Washington, easily ac- cessible and ample for every nee TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, New York claims that it is the great terminal point of through railroad lines from all direc- tions, and that vessels from all portions of the world bring their passenger: d their freight to its docks and piers. While all this is quite true, it is equaily true that every visitor to the exposition and every consignment for exhibi- tion that reaches New York by steamship can b ried to Washington in from five to ten hours after reaching New York. The great railroads of the south, southwest, west and north have thelr arteries flowing’ right into Washington city, with facilities ample to ac- commodate every carload that may be en route to the exposition, whether from Aroostook in Maine or Palestine in Texas, The difference in ease, rapidity and facilities for transporta~ tion is so slight that it really counts for noth- ing. NEW YORK WANTS THE EARTH. No matter where the exposition is held, New York, the metropolis of the new world, will be visited by the strangers who come from abroad to attend our exposition. New York will make more money out of the exposition than Wash- ington will, even if the cavital city gets the coveted honor. New York, with other manu- facturing cities, will get all the trade benefits of the exposition. Washington manufactures nothing. and is probably the only prominent city in the Union that will derive no future trade benefit from the affair. It therefore looks as if New York were indeed in want of the earth for her to so_ persistently badger and bully for still further benefits from the Three Americas exposition of 1892. But then any one who stops to think a moment will readily see that the exposition belongs to Washington as the national capital, no matter what might be the adventages of other cities, COLUMBIA'S ANNEX FOR WOMEN, New York women have capacity for great deeds when they choose to exercise it, A work of great importance to the education of women has been put in the way of rapidcompletion by New York women during the past two or three years, and their committee now announces that on October 7 next Barnard college, an an- nex to Columbia college, will be opened for women students, No publicity has been sought by the ladies who have labored quietly but earnestly to raise the money necessary to carry out this enterprise, but their work must have been as arduous as ithas been earnest, Not enough money has yet been subscribed to ac- commodate the number of students that would no doubt apply for admission; therefore this coming autumn only a freshman class will be admitted, the hope being entertained that by another year women pre- = for any grade may be accommodated. the college is named after President Barnard of Columbia, who was one of the first cham- pions of co-education. Its building is situated on Madison avenue (No. 343), near 45th street, not many squares from the buildings of Colum- bia college. The tuition fees will be the same as are paid by mail students in the college proper, and the entrance examinations are the same as for male freshmen. H. H. 8, — Written for Tux EVENING STAR.
