WICCINS ACT CAUSES RUMPLS State and County Repre- sentatives at Fair Have a Sensational Meeting! EXPLANATIONSINORDER Commissioner Admits That He Turned Down Applica- tion of Associates to Parade FAFR A RS R Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. LOUIS, July 11l — The County Commissioners from California and the State Commissioners, who have not been on the best of terms with each other almost since the opening of the exhibition, had it out this afternoon and, after a sensational scrimmage, a better understanding than has hereto- fore existed was reached. It is be- lieved that harmony, or at least a state of peace, has been firmly established for the rest of the fair. To-day’s battle came up on an inci- dent that it had been supposed was closed. The County Commissioners, before the opening of the fair, re- quested the State commission to apply for permission for them to ride in the opening day parade, as a matter of court California being the only State represented by counties. Com- ! missioners Wiggins and Filcher agreed to make the application and later in- formed the County that their request had been down. turned It was learned later that the turning | down had been done at the request of the State commission, Charles Reeves, director of State and Terri- torial exploration, to this effect, which was kept on file by the county organization. Various small matters caused friction, and when Sec- retary Willis resigned the stories of his alleged ment of sympathy for him among the County Commissioners. To-day it was stated to some of the | county men that Commissioner Wig- | gins had deliberately telephoned to Reeves, telling him to ignore the re. quest that the county men be allowed | to enter the parade. Ome of the Coun- ty Commissioners demanded a final ex- planation of Wiggins. He admitted having told Reeves to ignore the re- quest and said he would explain the matter before a meeting of the county representatives. The latter met and Commissioner Wiggins told them he had asked Reeves to turn down the! request on the ground that it would be irregular for county representatives | to enter the parade. He admitted that he should have consulted with the County Commissioners as a matter of courtesy before doing so. He said fur- ther that he wanted to take all the blame on himself, as he had acted independent of Filcher and the latter knew nothing of the affair. There was considerable heated talk and Webb N. Pearce of Alameda in- troduced a resolution that the meeting thank Commissioner Wiggins for his explanation. Frank Kimball of San Diego moved, as an amendment, that the county organization accept Wig- | gins' statement in good faith. The amendment was adopted. Governor Pardee tried to prevent any final clash, but failed. Secretary Willis left for New York to-day. e MYERS ARRAIGNED ON A MURDER CHARGE Alleged Accomplice Who Confessed Attempts to Hang Himself in Prison.

Some people think that there are only two or three kinds of bees—the honey bee, the bumble bee and possibly one kind of smaller wild bee. So far is this from being true that no less than 1878 different species of wild bees have been described from North America, that is, including all of the country north of +Panama, up to the present day. When we come to study the habits and struc- |ture of all these bees, says the Colo- | rado College Museum Bulletin, it is possible to understand why they are so numerous in kinds. The pollen of flow- ers has to be carried principally by in- sects; that of one flower ta other flow- ers of the same sort, in order to bring about the fertilization and production of seed. Of all the insect carriers the bees are the most important. They visit the flowers for nectar and pollen, !to store up in nests for their young, and when so 'doing they carry the dus like pollen from flower to flower, leav- |ing a little of that previously gathered | each time they alight on a blossom. | Now suppose that all bees visited in- | discriminately every sort of flower, it would continually happen that the ! pollen of one species of plant would be left on the flower of quite a different | species, where it would be altogether e H 7 | He entered Amherst in 1835 and was useless, It is desirable, therefore, i crelore, that graduated four years later. He was valedictorian of his class. Then he ticular kind of plant, or at any rate should prefer certain kinds, find to be more or less the case, and there are many bees that never visit more than one sort of flower. The num- ber of different kinds of flowers is very great, and consequently it is not sur- | prising to find that there are many sorts of bees. Described North Amer- ican bees are so numerous, it is prac- tically certain that we do mnot know half of those existing. Indeed, it is not possible that the North American | ontinent, with the West Indies, pos- | sesses as many as 5000 species. Thus the opportunity for the student of | thege insects is very great. He is ab- soliMely certain to find in almost any part of the country specles wholly new to science during his first season’s col lecting. In Colorado I am sure that al most any spring and summer day de. voted to the search would yield new kinds. In New Mexico, up to to-day, 508 species have been found, and of jthese I have been able to describe 315 as new.—Exchange. e e The Thread Tooth. “I'll never be able to do much for you,” said the dentist, “till you quit biting your thread.” “Dear me,” said the woman, “that reminds me of the days when grand- mother threatened me with a whip- ping if I didn’t quit biting my finger | nafls.” ¥, | “One habit is just as reprehensible as the other,” said the dentist. “You ought to be able to see your own | teeth, then you would realize that you ,deserve a good scolding. The edges are as uneven as a saw. Now if you were a profesional dressmaker or a Ifactory hand you would know better than to bite your thread. They sel- dom do it. They have learned the art of snipping it off with the scissors without loss of time and don’t have to malreat their teeth. It is you women who do a good deal of sewing in a non-professional capacity that think the quickest way to break thread is to ‘bite it. That may be good for the progress of the work, but it s bad for the teeth. Fortunately, you can’t bite with the whole mouthful at one time, so most of them escape. ose that really do the work are the incisors on either side. They are in a terribly bad fix.

The elec- tors met, transacted their business and announced the election of Porfirio Diaz as President and Ramon Corral as Vice President. The election took place two weeks 'agq. The following day the President announced in a proclamation that in- asmuch as there was no opposition to himself “or Corral, they were elected by the people subject to the Board of Electors, which met to-day. The elec- tors were named last week by the va- rious States and met to-day for the purpose of announcing to the repub- ‘lic and to the world that for six years | President Diaz would be President and :Ramon Corral Vice President. The | election was received with general sat- | isfaction throughout the country. | The election is taken to mean that | Corral will in the near future be the | President, for President Diaz is failing ! rapidly and is going to retire in reality, | though he will nominally be the Presi- dent. In doing this he will be relieved |of the arduous duties of office and { will at the same time satisfy the peo- { ple, who love and honor him. It is believed that Governor Miguel Ahu- { mada of the State of Jalisco will be elected as Corrgl’'s successor as Minis- ter of the Intérior. oSt e s | WHY FRENCH COLONIES HAVE PROVED FAILURES ‘With an Explanaton of the Present Commercial Depression in Tunis. One of the chief reasons of the want {of success in French colonies Is no | doubt that the capitalists of the moth- | er country will not Invest their money in the colonies. Added to this, money made in a colony is not spent there. To begin with, the highly paid officials, from the Governor General down, all seem t0 economize the utmost possible | for eleven months in the year in order | to pass one month every year in the | mother country, where they leave their economies, to the detriment of the col- ony. Still in this instance the mother coumtry is not an actual loser. Turning to the European working class in Tunisia, the best part of which is Italian and Sicilian, these people live | very economically and send all_their | spare cash home, i. e., to Italy or Sicily. { Take, for instance, the Italian mason, | | who may earn 3% francs a day. Hel | nourishes bodily on macaroni and the| like at a cost of half a franc a day, | putting by the 3 francs profit on his | day’'s work to send home to his father- land from time to time. The French la-| boring classes are not sufficiently en- | couraged. The employers of labor en- ! gage the cheavest obtainable, regard- i less that a good French workman will | do 50 per cent more work than an Italian or Sicilian for his 25 per cent more wages. Then we come to the administrative or governing departments. There are numberless administrations. Without doubt they do give no end of work in making commerce as difficult as pos- sible with their restrictions and for- | malities in the way of all new enter- prise. The mistake is made by subsi- dizing such big undertakings as rail- ways, mailboat service, etc., by guaran- teeing their profits at a certain figure. The result is that these subsidized un- dertakings realize that the more they gain the less subsidy they receive, and consequently they are content to do just what they have undertaken to do for the subsidy, and give themselves the least possible “ennui’ without con- sideration for the commercial interest of the colony. Some years back the Ministry real- ized what a magnificent port agd naval station France possessed in WBizerta, and they started to make the most of it. Big credits were voted and there| was every prospect of Bizerta becom- ing the finest naval station in the Medi- terranean, but sudden changes in the Ministry bring about different ideas. ‘Works commenced at Bizerta are al- lowed to drag instead of being pushed | to completion with the least possible delay, which is, after all, the true econ- omy; nothing is done to press that all- important question for a naval port— coal stocks; but, on the contrary, no Government support was accorded an enterprising French company, encour- aged by the late Admiral Ponty and a former Minister of Marine, which opened a large coal depot and erected important fuel works at very great ex- pense, finally producing a first-class fuel, which fulfilled the exacting re- quirements of the French Government arsenal authorities at Toulon.—London Globe. t | i { | | | | | —_———————————— Weak on History. William Harris, the Boston theatri- cal manager, while eminent in his way, is not an authority on history, especially colonial history, as will ap- pear hereafter: It will be remembered that Clyde Fitch’s play, ‘“Major Andre,” which wak produced in New York last fall, was anything but a glittering success. In point of fact, it ran just two weeks. Some time after Mr. Harris came to New York and called on Frank McKee, who produced the play. In discussing the melancholy fate of the drama, Mr. Harris exoressed the belief that Mr. McKee should have known that it wouldn’t,_succeed. “Those spy plays never do go with | the public,” he exclaimed emphati- cally. “Well,” demanded Mr. McKee, “why on earth didn’t you tell me it wouldn't go? You'd have saved me a good deal of money.” “How on earth was I to know it was a spy play?’ demanded the Bostonian, indignantly.—New York Times. —_——————— A Lonz wait. ‘When Edward M.

The theatrical profession as a whole is”probably not more supesstitious than other classes of men, but there are cer- tain credulous notions which actors and managers collectively share or confess to as individuals. For example, Nat Goodwin considers it a bad sign to lose more than $15,000 at faro, especially if he has to sign L O. U’s. Certain parts of the stage are held to be unlucky by all actors. The center is not one of these. An actor’s idea of hades is a revolving stage on which/ there is no center. Oscar Hammerstein is a hard-headed man of dramatic affairs, yet he always has a sense of impending disaster when there are thirteen people in the audience. Although Joseph Murphy doesn’t care any more for a nickel than a far- mer does for a yoke of steers, he con- siders it unlucky to fall asleep in a cab and lose his valuables. Friday is regarded universally ~s an unlucky "’ day for - business ventures. William H. Crane will not even buy a drink on Friday.
