A WILD GIRL OF SUMATRA.
SHOWING AN UUANG-OUTANU AS THE
WONDER Of THE EARTH.
Tlie Veteran Showman Graves Talks of
tlie nearest Frleml et Ills Professional
Days Hew Tliurlew Wccu ltecame
Interested In Her Barnmn's
"What Is It."
Nev Yerk Times.
"New you're talking sense," said A. J.
Graves, or " Old Graves," as he is known
te showmen in this country and m Europe,
when a 2'imes' reporter yesterday suggested
that the orang-eutang was a wonderful
animal. " Wonderful," resumed the aged
but yet sprightly showman, " Is no tcrjn
far-reaching enough te cxprcsss the saga
city and learing of that, I may say, fellow
creature. Yeu will pardon my show of
allectien for them as a class, because my
recollections of them are all pleasant and
et the most, endearing kind. They are
mete faithful, confiding and honest than
men or women, and besides hare helped
me out of many a, scrape when I wanted
money badly. 1 quit the show business
two years age, and retired te a quiet life,
merely lleating through lifc.as it were, with
iny com and bunion wafers, but I am half
inclined at times te go into business again
wilii an orang-eutang and make seme
money. 1 am new 71 years of age a
pretty "old boy," perhaps but I am full
of life and fun. Years age Ilaywerth who
was a pattner of mine, aud myself had
a show where the Heward house, in
Chatham street, new stands and where I
new have rooms We were showing
snakes and had a line orang-eutang. Al
though I have handled hundreds of snakes
I don't fancy talking about them, but the
erang en tang always has a place in my
mind. I talked about the 'missing link'
long before Darwin ever thought of it, and
have an idea that I can explain iu my
common, homely manner mete about what
is new called Darwinism than the author
himself. I used te deliver a lecture wheu
I exhibited an orang-eutang, and I always
challenged the physicians and professors
of anatomy te prove te mc that I was
wrong when I claimed that the orang erang orang
outang was the ' missing link.' I am, and
have always been, open te conviction, but
I have failed te find any .man wlte could
successfully dispute the point with mc. I
would claim mat tlie ionization el an
orangeutang was exactly, similar te the
human form divine, with the exception, of
course, of the caudal appendage. I have
made the erang eutaug stand forth in
many cities and towns as the greatest
curiosity of the age, and I can de it again.
What de you say te that, Bunnell ?"
asked the veteran showman, who first met
Bunnell when he was peddling candy in a
circus in 1832. The stalwart showman of
te-day replied that' he had no doubt that
Graves could de what he said.
"Well, as I was saying," began the vet
eran again, "Hnywerth and I were in the
show business in Chatham street, and
when we sold our snakes I felt that we
ought net te part with that orang-eutang.
That little girl I mean the young orang erang orang
outang had found a place in my heart.
Ilaywerth was taken sick and our funds
were getting very low. I was down-hearted
myself, aud Ilaywerth and I talked ever
our future prospects while he lay in bed
deathly sick. I suggested that I should
go te Albany and discover a place, if pos
sible, where we might show the little
girl. Ilaywerth told me te go ahead.
When I reached Albany it was terribly
cold, the snow being three feet deep. I
began te skate around that wonderful city,
climbing up that ncvcr-to-bc-fergottcn
hill and sliding down en. my back, in
search of a place. I saw a man standing
iu front of a picture gallery nibbing his
cars. I asked him whether business was
geed. lie said that it' was very bad. I
told him I would like te have the use of
his gallery in which te exhibit the ' wild
girl of Sumatra' for a few days. He
opened his eyes iu astonishment and his
hair began te bristle up in alarm. He
showed me his gallery, and said that he
would be compelled te take the
carpets and pictures out, and that
would call for censiderab e work.
I told him that was just what
I didn't want him te da. ' Lcave tlie car
pets and pictures where they are,' I said,
'and what will you ciiarge a day for the
use of the gallery '." T wen ty-five del lars, '
answered the man, no doubt expecting me
te fall in a fainting fit. I'll take it,' I
said quickly. I had only a dollar in my
pocket. In fact, that was all the money I
had in thp world. I returned te New
Yerk te get the little girl. Wheu I told
Ilaywerth what I had done he threw up
his hands aud cried, 'You've ruined mc ;
you've ruined mc !' I replied.in the nega
tive as calmly as 1 could under the circum
stances. The next day the orangc-eutang
and myself were en our way te Albany. I
had her neatly and becomingly attired.
She were shoes and stockings, pautalettes,
white skirt and silk dress, and had a heed
and cloak which she put en when going
into the street te ride in a coach. When
I had placed her safely in the picture gal
lery I looked after iny signs and advertise
ments. I put an advcitiscmcnt in the Al
bany Knickerbocker calling attention te the
fact that the most wonderful curiosity in
the known world, the ' wild girl of Suma
tra,' had anived in Albany, and-would
held levees at the picture gallery, which
was in Main street, I think. I also put an
advertisement in the Albany Ecening
Journal, of which Mr. Tiiurlew Weed was
then the editor. I tried te get a notice in
that paper, but the city editor wouldn't
oblige mc, sayiug that ray ' wild girl of
Sumatra ' was some orang-eutang' or ether
fraud. I tried te assure him that the
' wild girl ' was the pure, unadulterated
'missing link,' but he said he had no time
te listen te lectures upon rats and mon
keys. On the first day of the show I took
in $40, and felt satisfied that I would be
successful in my venture.
"On the day following I called at the
office of the Evening Journal and requested
the honor of an interview with Mr. Tliur Tliur
eow Weed. I was rather dubiously re
ceived, but as I did net threaten te deliver
a lecture I found favor in the famous jour
nalist's eyes. I jaid, ' Mr. Weed, we think
we nave the greatest curiosity in the
world. I would like you te see " the wild i
girl of Sumatra.' " Then I told him that
a well known professor of anatomy of this
state, who lived in Albany, would be at
the picture gallery at 2 o'clock that after
noon, and he would no doubt be pleased
te explain the wonderful animal te him.
When Mr. Weed heard the name of the
name of the professor, who was his friend,
mentioned, he said that he would certain
ly attend. I offered te send a carnage for
him, but he declined the use of ene, saying
that he would walk te the picture gallery
and would be en time. I made tracks as
fast as possible te that professor's house,
and told him that Mr. Weed intended te
visit ' the wild girl of Sumatra,' and that
it would be a great honor te have him ex
amine the animal in Mr. Weed's presence.
1 offered te send a carriage for him but
he said it would net he required. I Te
would b3 delighted te ' meet
Mr. Weed, whom he much ad
mired. He lived in the Delavan house,
and said that he was se close at hand that
he would be in attendance at the time
fixed. He was in the picture gallery, how
ever, ahead of time, and was in raptures
ever the little girl. He was thus ab
sorbed when Mr. Weed entered. The
distinguished journalist merely glanced at
the orang-eutang, and, with a smile of
derision, turned away and looked at a pic
ture. He puffed his cigar in an angry way.
ana x ecgan te edge toward the room in
the rear. Suddenly I'heard the professor
say, ' Why. Mr. Weed, I'm delighted e
see you.' Then I saw the professor point
te the orang-eutang, and heard him gush
forth with ' That is the most weuderful
creature I ever saw. Charming, wonder
ful, my word for it, Mr. Weed.' The
professor then went into a minute exam
inatien of the animal, explaining with all
the enthusiasm efau accomplished anat
omist that it was one of the wonders of
the earth. ' Marvelous !' said Mr. Weed,
as the little girl took a seat at a small
table and began te eat cold rice pudding
with a spoon from a dish ; ' marvelous !'
and he surveyed her with such astonish
ment that I was almost paralyzed. Beth
Mr. Weed and the professor shook me
warmly by the hand, and they patted the
little girl Irem Sumatra en the head and
took their departure. The next day al
most a column appeared in the Evening
Journal about my girl. The article "was
evidently written by Mr. Weed himself,
aud the popularity of the wild girl of
Sumatra ' arese iu public estimation
about 300 per cent. Fer a week I took iu
ever $300 a day. I had made arrange
ments te go te Syracuse, and the fame of
my ' wonderful curiosity ? had preceded
mc. The hall which I had engaged was
crowded in the afternoons aud evenings,
and my receipts rese te about $500 a day.
I always believed iu Barnum's way of do
ing things, and when I went te a city or
town I took rooms at the best hotel, had
the fiucstceach I could secure, and had an
advertising wagon that was gorgeous. I
invited the most learned men in the place
te sec the wild girl aud at ence put myself
upon a footing with the aristocracy 1
" I had 12 different costly dresses for the
orang-eutang," continued Mr. Graves,
"and neat fitting shoes and fancy stock
ings. The principal of the high school of
Syracuse came te me aud said that his
pupils were very anxious te see the ' wild
girl of Sumatra' in the school house. I
was asked what I would ciiarge te exhibit
her there, aud, feeling that I should knock
off something for the cause of education,
said that I would show her for $100. The
principal-said that the fee was a little tee
high and offered me $75. That sum I ac
cepted after the principal had told ine that I
the school was net a rich one. I attired
the little girl in her best clothes, and en
tering a coach was driven te the school
house The street was crowded with peo
ple when I arrived there. When I get out
of the coach with Millie that was my
girl's name en my arm I had as much as
I could de te force my way through the
crowd. Millie were her cloak aud heed
and looked as wise as a Sunday school
teacher. She sat at a little table en the
platform, and was as calm and interesting
as she could be. The audience was de
lighted. Wheievcr I went with her the
receipts were large, and Ilaywerth and
myself coined money. In one city a crowd
get around my partner in the hotel Iato at
night, and wcre talking about the ' wild
girl of Sumatra.' Ilaywerth told them
that at that time she was asleep in the
saine bed with myself. This seemed te
amuse them immensely, aud a few in the
crowd begged him te permit them te leek
into my bedroom aud sce for themselves.
True te a showman's instincts, lie trilled
with their feelings by saying that it was
impossible, that the girl never liked te be
disturbed iu her dreams, and that I was a
regular raging wild cat if my rest was
broken. At length, after they had each
offered him $5 te witness the orang-eutang
sleeping iu the same bed with mc, he took
the money, and -they noiselessly crept up
te my room. When the deer was opened
they saw the ' wild girl of Sumatra ' and
myself in bed. She, with her black head
resting en the white pillow clese te the
wall, aud I, half awake en the outside, was
a scene that caused them te break forth
into uncontrollable laughter. Their sides
shook until the house trembled, and, of
course, the girl and myself sat up in bed,
aud rubbing our eyes looked at them. Peer
thing 1 she died en ray hands after two
years, and was accorded a decent burial.
I shall never forget the kiud manner in'
which she always treated mc. I never
saw her mad but once. I used te watch
her all the time, but ene day Hay worth's
wife said te me, 'Graves, why don't you
go down te the dining room and get a
geed dinner?' She premised te leek after
Millie, aud I started down the staircase. I
had net gene far, however, when I heard
a great racket. Hurrying up stairs into
the room, I saw Hay worth's wife standing
in the centra of it with a small whip in
her hand and as pale as a ghost. The
white bed-spread was covered with ink
aud Millie was sitting en the top of one of
the bed-pests. The little girl had picked
up my inkstand as seen as I had left tlie
room and had shied it at Hay worth's wife.
Then te avoid the whip she had climbed
up the bed-pest. In a few minutes I had
pacified the erang eutang, and she was
rubbing her ink-spattered head ever my
white vest.
" I tried ether oraug-eulangs and made
money, and could de it again if I had ene.
Or if I had the skeleton of one I could de
well." The old man's hearers', among
whom was G.'erge B. Bunnell, of the mu
seum, and his agent, Geerge O. Starr,
nodded their heads in approval. " Bar
num was great en his ' What Is Its,' "
said the veteran, who stroked his white
beard and showed hid bared breast (his
shirt never being buttoned at the top and
always without a cellar), " but hew did
he get them ?" He had a mau in his mu
seum whose feet were where his knees
ought te be, and he performed in plays
where an ape was the leading character.
Barnum conceived the idea of having him
fixed up se as te represent an animal as
much like a man as possible without be
ing one, covered with coarse hair, and te
I all appearances a beast with the strength
ei a nan dozen men. no would put mm
in a strong cage and advertise him
as Hitchcock, his advertising aent,
only knew hew te advertise, and style him
tue'wnatisic ine litue actor was
told about Barnum's plans and he at ence
reDCiieu, uccause no was- ei a religious
turn of mind. Finally Barnum persuaded
him and the little actor appeared in a cage
whose bars were of extraordinary thick
ness. All went well until some old show
men came into the museum ene day, and,
recognizing the actor, threatened te ex
pose the frauds. Then the What is it,'
mysteriously disappeared. Other 'What is
its' were tried by Barnum, but they
wouldn't last. One of them get drunk
and gave the whole thing away te a let of
merrjr men in a saloon. Give me an orang erang orang
outang aud I'll fill any house iu the city
withpeople who will rush te see the
missing link' in the way I will explain
it."
Mr. Graves has had much te de with all
kinds of animals, but lib preference is for
the orang-eutang. In 1813 he was with
Ogden, Weeks & Ce.'s great show, and
drove the first team of elephants ever
seen in this country. There were four
large elephants, two abreast, Hannibal
and Siam and Columbus and Yirginius.
Tbcy drew a big wagon in which was a
" Dutch band," as Mr. Graves spoke of
these festive people, with brass horns and
drums. Herr Dresbacb, the famous lien
tamer, led the precession. The show made
" barrels of money," Mr. Graves said, and
ene of the proprietors, Harrison Hepkins,
retired in one season and lived ever after
that en the profits of that season. Mr.
Graves believes that nearly all animals
have reasoning powers, but thinks that
snakes are devoid of such powers. He is
sure that they cannot hear, as he has
frequently tried te stir them up by mak
ing a great noise, and they would net
budge. Their eyes are immovable. He
was satisfied that a great many snakes die
because their owners de net knew hew te
handle them. (Ie learned hew te treat
snakes from Mr. Barrett, of the Zoological
Garden, Surrey. The handlers should
frequently try snakes with feed, as it was
hard te tell when they wanted te cat, and
they should have plenty of water. An An
other bottle was called, for, and the
memory of Millie, the erang eutang, who
had been one of " Old Graves's " truest
friends, was drank by the company.
A SAO HISTORT.
suicUle of n laerinan Nobleman la n New
Yerfc Tenement Meese.
A most singular suicide has been
brought te the attention of the New Yerk
coroner. The history of the tragic event
has all the elements of an interesting ro
mance. Henry C. von Hulda, aged 31, a
German of noble lineage though of modest
position, hung himself at midnight Thurs
day night en "the reef of Ne. 115 Dclancey
street, a tenement, en the top fleer of
which he occupied rooms with his wife.
The manner of his death as the
story of his life was unusual, no
was found kneeling" en the reef with
his neck in a uoeso of whip-cord,
the ether end of which was fastened te the
clothes line overhead. He had tttrauglcd
himself by resting with thecntiie weight
of his body en the cord. He had been
cheerful during the evening, and his wife
believed that he slept en the iloer. When
the true state of affairs was discovered he
had been dead an hour. Yen Hulda made
his living as a meat carver in a restaurant.
He had come from Germany when a mere
boy, and had always in this country
battled against pevcry and misfortune.
With the exception of an old.
unmarried uncle, who, like himself,
was an exile in this country, and
his aged father and mother, who live in
great poverty in the old German home, he
was the last member of an ancient noble
family that once possessed ample wealth
and property in the Grand Duchy of Hesso Hesse
Darmstadt, Germany. Its mill was be
gun by oppression, and finished by pTivcr
ty that weighed upon it like a cn.-.se in its
feeble battle for right agai'isfc usurping
might. Little of the i.tery of her husband's
family is known te his widow, who was
aware that. the lack of means prevented
him from asserting his right as heir te the
family estate, a fact which he bitterly de
plored and which probably played its part
iu the desperation which drove him te sui
cieo. The family estates were already
lest in the time of his grandmother, who,
left a defenseless widow, became an easy
prey of designing relatives, into whose
hands the property passed.
Her seu was compelled te earn his living
uy daily lauer, and never leund tue means
te assert his claim. He did net give it up,
however, aud it was with the hope that
their only son might cress the Atlantic
and rise out of the slough of poverty te
assert his rights that he was sent from
home when yet a boy te fight his own bat
tles in the world. The old folks waited
patiently iu their German home the
father working as a common laborer
every day in the eastle which he
called his own by right, and their
hearts were cheered by occasional small
remittances of money which Henry was
able te save, but he made no headway and
often spoke bitterly te his wife of the
hardships of a poverty that prevented him
claiming his own and be forever pnt be
yond want. Communication with per
sons in the old country who were cogni
zant of the facts convinced him of the
justice of his causa and determined him te
return te the old . country as seen
as he had saved the necessary
means te prosecute his claims. Itc
ccut disappointments made this a pros
pect efau indefinite future and Henry von
llulda's courage sank lower than ever.
His wife was found yesterday dissolved iu
tears. She was unable te say wluther her
husband had any papers te prove his right
te the estate he claimed and could net
even remember its name.. She believed
that it was Edclhef, but could net tell for
certain. The uncle's residence iu this
country is net known, and with the death
of Henry von Hulda vanishes the last
chance of the family te recover its alleged
lest property. Of its former rank, posi
tion am! wealth, nothing remains save the
distinguished ' von" iu the name, that,
like the French prefix " de," is a certain
indication of noble birth.
