According to this story the President sent for Clarkson to come out to the Cape May cottage, and told him when he got there that there was no occasion for him and other republicans to take sides against him in favor of Blaine, be- cause he might not be in the race at all next year. The story ran on that the President told Clarkson that before the meeting of the national committee he would emphatically declare that he was not a candidate for re-election, pro- Vided the opposition in his own party con tinued and provided Mr. Hlaine’s health was such as to aliow him to make the campaign and he would take the nomination. “There is uo truth in that story,” said Mr. Clarkson. “Did youdiscuss the subject of the Presi- dent's candidacy for re-election while at Cape Mr. Clarkson was asked. ‘I will not be interviewed on that point,” he -—+ Gco.

The idea of the Kansas Farmers’ Alliance to assess each of its members « penny will enable ite managers to get = correct centeus of its voters. “ve lost my footing again,” sighed the bookkeeper when the column of figures got away from him. “What did you say business ig, Mr. Yardskimp?" = “TI am the head of a department.” “It's odd that I never heard your name men- tioned. I know nearly all the people who are Prominent in the government service.” “Yes'm, you—er—you see, I refer to the rib- bon department.” How often comes the silent sigh For days of long ago, When all was brighter to the eye ath youth's reviving glow; When birds made music in the trees, Beside the sylvan fount; When nature only strove to please, And dollars didn’t count, There is a growing impression that the ship of state is to be guided to some extent by the tiller of the soil. He kissed her; a shock like the burst of a mine Unsettled his head and thrilled down through his spine. He felt of his jaw, and he vowed in his pain He would ne'er kiss that muscular maiden again. “We call him Jack the Ripper,” said the clerk in the dry-goods store. “He doesn’t look very fierce.” “Oh, he isn't. The name was due to his ex- traordinary success in tearing cotton goods, you know. Defeat him or let him Resign if he will, But the ex-politician Will never keep still. “I like Miss Cassington verwy much,” said Gus de Jay, “even if she isn’t such @ verwy bwilliant girl, don’t you know.” “What makes you think she isn’t brilliant?” “I was calling lawst night, and everwy time Imoved sho satd ‘you ahen't going so soon, ahe you?” Anybody could have seen that I wasn't.” = A correspondent sends the following view of “political economy at Long Branch: Their costume shows, its mode insists, Surfmaids no protectionist. But Fashion's progress will, no doubt, Revise their creed, and bring them out. Free trade fair bathers will oppose; No foreign stuffs their robes compose— For each will stand, ‘neath Freedom's sky Clothed in her native modesty ! ge A LOT FOR THE GOVEKNMENT. The Board of Assessors Decline to Fix a Value, but the Assessor Does. Some time ago the Commissioners received a communication from Acting Secretary Chan- dler.of the jInterior Department stating that by act of Congress the Secretary was required toconveyto Henry M. Baker and John Jay Sanborn of this city all right and title to lot 3, in square south of square 990, corner South Carolina avenue and south C street, upon the payment by them of such sum of money as the Secretary should determine upon to be paid. In March last the Commissioners forwarded several bills for unpaid taxes, with the request that the title be not granted until they were paid. The acting secretary in his letter asked that the Department of the Interior be furnished with a report of the District board of assessors as to the actual value of the land referred to in order to assist the department in fixing upon a sum to be paid by Messrs. Baker and Sanborn, Last Wednesday the assessors returned the communication with the statement that in the opinion of the board it would be a violation of the spirit if not the letter of the law, and be otherwise embarrassing,for it to make any such report upon the value of any piece of real es- estate prior to the first Monday of June, 1892, and that therefore it respectfully declined to comply with the request of the acting secretary of the interior. Mr. Matthew Trimble, assessor for the Dis- trict, to whom the letter was also referred, re- ported today that upon a personal view of the property and a careful consideration of itsloca- tion and surroundings he was of the opinion that 70 cents per square foot would bea fair cash price tobe paid iu purchase. On this busis the lot would be worth 86,723.50. B. Shepherd White's Money. Recently an order was presented to Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police department signed by B. Shepherd White for the money found on him when arrested ($364) to be turned over to Lewis Joknson & Co. Mr. Sylvester declined to obey the order without the assent of the court. On Saturday the matter was laid before Judge Bradley, who made the order. ‘There was noth- ing about the order to indicate where White is. gusiiad steven The Fish Market. The report of Inspector Harris for Inst week shows the arrivals at the river front of the fol- lowing: 10,502 bunches of fish, 2,775 Spanish magkerel, 11 sturgeon, 1 sea turtle, 203,000 clams, 56,000 crabs, 200 bushels of oysters, 57,900 watermelons and 39,040 canteloupes. ‘The condemnations were 432 bunches of fish, 9,600 clams, 18,700 crabsand 12,000 canteloupes. Among the’ arrivals Saturday were 19,000 melons, 100 bushels of oysters, 11,000 crabs and 27,000 clams. se The Order in Rosalie Geist’s Case. This morning Chief Justice Bingham signed the order in tho habeas corpus case in which the girl Rosalie Geist was produced last week by Mr. Burnett Trueworthy in the proceedings inaugurated by the German Orphan Asylum which he suggested on Saturday. ‘There were a number present, including the officers of the asylum, and Mr. Daniels presented a draft of the order. This draft was amended by the chief justice and signed.

A Chicago newspaper says: The object of the law creating the new United States circuit courts of appeals, which was intended to relieve the Supreme Court's crowded dockets, may be defeated by @ little clause in the law which United States District Attorney Milchrist dis- covered yesterday when looking over the latest federal statutes. Among the cases which the law says may be appealed direct to the Supreme Court are: *In cases of conviction of a capital’ or otherwise infamous crime.” Infamous crimes contemplate imprisonment in the peni- tentiary, and in this classof offenses is included the thousand and one violations of the laws. Certain infractions of internal revenue laws, and laws relating to smuggling and coun- terfeiting, all of which come under the head of infamous crimes, can be ap} preme Court under the little section above noted. Mr. Milchrist said it looked to him as though the great number of criminal cases that might be appealed to the Supreme Court might overbalance the number of other caves of wi the ‘courts of appeals relieved the Supreme Court, and thus leave the Supreme Court in as crowded conditon as before the law was 17. 1891. Entomologists Who Look After the Farmers’ Interests. ONE OF THE SCIENTIFIC BODIES THAT BEGAN ITs SESSIONS HERE THIS MORNING—THE ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT—HOW THE ENTOMOLOGIST HAS SAVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. It was not exactly a meeting of agricultural- iste that was held this morning in one of the rooms of the Columbia University building. The Association of Economic Entomologists is not connected with the Farmers’ Alliance. The labors of the members, however, have a direct and intimate connection with agriculture. In Popular parlance these gentlemen are known as bugologists, and despite their peaceful ap- Pearance one of the principal ambitions which animate their work is the perfection of methods for the extermination of in- sects. In other words, from the standpoint of grashoppers, locusts and other insects, these gentlemen are an or ganized band of murderers. Whatever will tend to the destruction of insects which fatten upon the industry of the farmers is of absorb- ing interest to the members of the association. They meet together to confer upon the progress that has been made in the sclonce of murder and to devise new methods which will tend to add to the number of their victims. A review of what bas been done in this direction was given in an opening address by the president of the association. Mr. James Fletcher, F. B.S. C., F.L.8., the presi- dent, holds the position of government entomologist and botanist to the domin- ion of Canada. Mr.Fletcher is an Englishman by birth, but has resided in ‘Canada for many years. He is the foremost economic ento- mologist in Canada and is ~ the author of many im- jortant contributions to branch of the science. He has published four an- F nual reports in his present PRESIDENT FLETCHER. Official capacity, which have proven of great value to the agricultur- alists of the dominion. Mr. Fletcher has been president of the Entomological Society of On- tario and two years ago was president of the Entomological Club of the American Associa tion for the Advancement of Science. His in- vestigations of the insect encmies of the wheat crop and his reports on the agricultaral grasses of ‘Canada have given him a wide reputation among scientific men. He isa man of some forty Sous of age and of athletic build. ‘Mr. L. 0. Howard, the ‘secretary, is Washingtonian. He graduated from Cor- nell University in 1 and has since been co: nected with the ento- mological work of the Department of Agri- culture. He has ‘weit- ten many papers upon entomological subjects, and is at present the entomological contrib- utor to the Century Dictionary. He is well known in scientific cir-_ SECRETARY TowanD. cles in Washington, and has been president of the Entomological Society of Washington. and now holds the office of secretary of the Biolog- ical Society of this city. He is co-editor with Prof. Riley of the periodical, Insect Life, is a fellow of the American Association, and lias been vice president of its entomological section. ‘THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. In his address the president said that these meetings of the association should give an op- portunity for workers to meet students in the same line of research and exchange experiences. ‘The same ground must be gone over, he said, so that members can learn for themselves the general principles of the structure and habits of insects, which effect so closely the choice and application of the proper remedies to arrest or mitigate their attacks upon crops. He spoke of the growing recognition among farmers and others of the importance of the work of the entomologists and said that it was coming to be regarded that the knows something after all. He said that there is no branch of natura! science or practical agriculture to which entomology is second in importance. The amounts lost and the value of the produce which might be saved every year in our staple crops alone by following the advice of the competent entomologist are so enormous and of late years have been so often proved that before long, the speaker thought, the value of these studi must cer- tainly be more generally recognized. The chief hindrance, he suid, is the widespread and in- comprehensible ignorance on the part of both growers and consumers of agricultural pro- ducte. ‘This ignorance is gradually being dis- sipated by meansof the various agricultural colleges and experiment stations all over the world, where the rising generation is being trained, and it will soon be seen that the scientific or accurate study of the habits of insects, by which the injury or loss of existing crops is prevented, confer far greater benefits on the community at large than the introduction or discovery of new products, of which as yet the necd is not felt. He spoke of the advantages of meeting in this city, as the members could meet the entomologists residing here and embrace the opportunity of examin- ing the various entomological machines, so many of which have originated in the division of entomology of the Agricultural Department, presided over by Prof. C. V. Kiley. He was convinced from numerous experiments that as much depended upon the apparatus used in treating insects as upon the insecticide used. He drewspecial attention to this because of the exceptional advantages offered here not only to have the machines to examine, but also the able members of the staff to explain their use. President Fletcher, in referring to the great loss to crops occasioned by the ravages of in- sects, suid that the value of agricultural pro- ducts of this country is estimated at about ¥330,000,000, and of this an average of about 10 per cent is lost; in short &38,000,000 is given up almost ‘without a struggle by the ple of the United States. Some remedies Pave come into special use.” Paris green, be said, applied as almost as much, as a matter of course, as manure is to potato fields. In Cal- ifornia and Florida orange trees are univer- sally treated with kerosene emulsions. Rem- edies are used against the cotton worm. In these and other instances the benefit is derived from the labors of the entomologist. PAPERS READ. After the reading of the prosident’s address a number of papers were read treating of the various topics of interest. Mr. Lawrence Bruner, who has made a personal visit of in-| spection throughout the west, gave an account of the appearance of locusts in this country and the chances of a locust plague next year. He said that he found areas infested with lo- custs in northwest Minnesota, northeast Dakotaand in Manitoba. Active steps arc being taken to destroy the eggs, Those are laid in fields of stubble, and the best remedy is to plow the eggs under. He said that unless this was done in all probability the crops would suffer next year. Other to be read during the meeting are as follows: “Standard Fittings on Spray Machinery Used for Insecticidal m7 We B. “Alwood; “Note on the White Grub Saccharalis in New Mexico,” ‘Some ‘Notes of Interest,” C.

At present the farmers deliver little or nothing; the spring wheat is not yet harvested and the supply of winte Wheat is exceedingly smatl. All commercial exchanges have an upward turn; so have the domestic markets Everybody seems crazy to get wheat. This was illustrated when the price atone time was bid up 2 ce and not a bushel of wheat could be bad at that. It is an open question on abe boards whether Jim Keene, B. P. Hutchineon, P. D. Armour of any or all of them are responsible for the big flurry. Many of the old-time brokers incline to credit Keeno with the manipulation of the mar- ket, The feeling is general that if the New York speculators are behind the present rush they are very strongly backed up by capital. Kobert Lindblom, on the other hand, thinks that the flurry will ‘not last over tomorrow. He does uot believe, he says, that the market is manipulated, because it would be almost im- Possible for any clique to control the entire Production. Mr. ‘Lindblom says he thinks that wheat will go higher, though it will not reach $1.90, as it did during the Keene manip- ulation in 1578, J. H. McCormick is another broker who does not ascribe the rush to either Jim Keene or P. D. Armour. He said: “It does not look to me as if any one were manipulating the market. The rise should rather be ascribed to a general buying in large quantities all along the line. Both gentlemen named may be buying, but not in large enough quantities to warrant the thought that they J. H. Doane feels inclined to lay the furry at the door of New York. He himself bought largely at $1.03 for some of his customers. “Ido not blame Jim Keene,” he said. “I hardly think he is behind this’ flurry, because the deal is altogether too large to be controlled by one man ora few men. if the New York end is guilty, the manipulators are certainly backed by strong capital, because that is all that keeps this thing up. 4 MISSING SOCIETY QUEEN, Mise Watts Was in the Swim Until Her Checks Were Dishonored. Miss Annie Watts, brilliant and dashing young lady who moved in the most exclusive social circles of Clarksburg, W. Va., has disap- peared. Miss Watts came there about year ago. She had no relatives, but was well iutro- duced and soon became a society queen. About two weeks ago Miss Watts made a trip to Cincinnati, and while there made beavy pur- chases, giving checks on banks in Clarksburg. The dealers became suspicious of the checks and reclaimed the goods, taking them from her rooms at the Burnett House. She returned to Clarksburg and the news of the incident quickly followed her. . The affair was hushed up, but it set some of her creditors to investigating. The result showed that Miss Watts had discounted re- cently nearly ¢200 in forged paper in Clarksburg and adjacent towns. Officers arrested her in her parlor while entertaining company, and she surrendered nearly $1,000 worth of jewelry to make good the claim of one bank. It is said that debts to still larger amounts are outstanding. —— rs = MARTYR OR MURDERER? Larry Corbett Brooded Over a Crime Until He Became Insane. Larry Corbett, a well-known Clintonville (Wis.) character, has become insane through brooding over oft-repeated accusations that he murlered a man named Smith thirteen years ago. He constantly protests that he bad nothing to do with the crime. A man named Leavitt gained the affections of Smith's wife and also gained considerable influence over Smith, who was a simple-minded farmer. With the assistance of two friends Leavitt got a deed of Smith's farm and pos- session of his personal property. Then Smith's death was decided on. To avert suspicion Leavitt and the woman went to Fon Du Lac, leaving Smith and a little child at home. A day or two after they departed Smith's body was found nearly naked in a grove of hemlocks near his home with the throat cut. Near by lay a razor with slight blood stains on it, but not having the appearance of being the instru- ment with which the cutting was done. Marks upon the body showed that Smith had been held by some one while another cut his throat. Leavitt and Smith's wife were arrested, con- victed of forgery and sentenced to the peniten- tiary. Leavitt became insane and died in au asylum. The woman served her time and is now in Chicago, it is said. ‘The supposition of the authorities always was that Leavitt had hired certain parties to com- mit the murder. Corbett always thought that he was one of the parti spected, and the matter so preyed upon his mind that he is now @ raving maniac. HARRY C.

Even the clerk whoslept last nightin the store below knew nothing of it until this morning. Mr. Cropley has for many years been prominent, and, a8 all believed, prosperous business man until several weeks ago, when the merchants of town were greatly surprised by his making an as signment. Since that time he has brooded good deal over his trouble. He failed to put in in appearance at his home last eveuing abd his wife this morning called on the police, who went into the place,and eearching the building, found him as above stated. He had apparently been dead several hour As soon as the body was discovered the coroner was notified, and after viewing the re- mains decided that an inquest was unnecesmurs, as there was no doubt that Mr. Cropley had committed suicide. Mr.Cropley was the son of the late Samuel Cropley, whe for many years carried on the grocery’ business in the same Louse to which the coroner this morning was summoned.
