The Mormon Delegate CannOn's Case.
Srltfnofeld Repilhlicnn

The policy of using technicslity against
Mormonism in Utah works well thus far,
and justiiies itself against the men who
have worked for their own interest with.
out scruple. Governor Murray refused
a certificate of election to Delegate Can
non, the Mormon, on the ground that he
was not a citizen, and no court has yet
ventured to question the Governors de-
cision, which was rendered after judicial
investigation. Now, Mr.. Campbell. Can
mons competitor, has asked Judge Hun
ter, of the Federal District Court, to
annul Cannon's pretended certificate OF
naturalization. Cannon entered a de
murrer that the court cannot annul what
is in itself fraudulent, thus admitting the
very point at issue, and the Judge enters
decision on this very grOund-that the
court will not annual a naturalization
paper which 't:was obtained by fraud
and has been fraudulentiy used" Dele
gate Cannon, WHO has sat in two Con,
crosses, is thus convicted, not only OF
not being a citizen, but of having OBJ
tained ana, used fraudulent naturaliza-
tion certificate. No Congress should
admit him to seat after this exposure.

How to Destroy Insects.
A.sn.. N..IGs.nA

Slugs are occasionally seen eating large
holes or notches in the leaves of all sue
culents and begonias, They usually feed
during the night Cut potatoes, turnips
CT some other fleshy vegetable in halves,
and place conveniently near the plants.
The s,ugs will gather upon the vegetable
and are easily destroyed.
The white worm which infests Occa-
sionally all soils where plants are kept in
pots may be removed as follows: Sprin-
kle lime water over the soil, or sprinkle
little slaked lime on the earth and in
the saucer of the pot. Lime water NAV
be easily made by shaking large piece
of lime in pail of cold water, letting
this settle and then bottling the clear
wate- for use. Give each pot a table
spoonful twice a week,
To distroy the little bugs on the ole
ander take piece of lime the size of q
hens egg and dissolve it in about two
quarts of water Wash the stock and
branches of the tree with this water.
To destroy plant lice take three and
half ounces of auassia ching. and five
drachms Stavesacre seed in powder
place In seven pints of water and boil
down to five pints, When cold the
strained liquid is ready for use, either by
means OF watering-pot or syringe.
No insect which usually infests the
house, and crawls over the floors or
woodwork, can live under the applica.
ton of hot alum water. 1t will destroy
red and black ants, cockroaches, spiders
and chintz bugs. Take two pounds of
alum and dissolve it in three or four
quarts of boiling water; let it stand on
| the fire until the alum is all melted, then
apply it with a brush (while nearly boil
ing hoD to every joint and crevice in
your closets, bedstead, pantry shelves,
etc. If in whitewashing a ceiling plenty
of alum is added to the whitewash it will
keep off insects.
A safe rule for plants of any kind is to
allow half gallon of water to every
ounce of tobacco. Procure the strong
est shag, and make an infusion by pour
ing upon it boiling water.

that Pereno Brown, President of that insti-

The Sand Blast.
Journal Of Science,


Among the wonderfr, and usefnI I'm.
ventions of the times is the common
blast. Suppose you desire a piece of
marble Tar a gravestone, you cover the
stone with a sheet of wax no thicker
than wafer; then you cut in the wax
the name, date, ETC., leaving the marble
exposed. Now pass it under the blast
and the sand will cut it away. Remove
the wax and you have the cut letters.
Take piece of French plate glass, say
two by six feet, cover it with fine lace
and pass it under the blast, and not q
thread of the lace will be injured.
but the sand will cut deep into
the glass wherever it is not covered by
the lace. Now remove the lace and
you have delicate and beautiful figure
raised on the glass. In this way beauti-
full figures of all kinds are cut in glass
and at small expense. The workmen
can hold their hands under the blast
without harm, even when it is rapidly
cutting away the hardest cutting glass,
iron or stone, but they must look out
for finger nails, for they will be whitfield
off right hastily. If they pat on steel
thimbles to protect the nails, it will do
but little good, for the sand win whittle
them right away; but if they wrap a
piece of soft cotton around them they
are safe. You will at once see the phi
losOphy of it. The sand whites away
and destroys any hard substance-even
glass-but does not affect substances
that are soft and yielding, like wax,
cotton, fine lace, or even the human
hand.

WAR AGAINST CHEAP LODGING
HOUSES. The New York health authori-
ties are conducting a vigorous campaign
against the so-called cheap lodging
houses in the lower part of the city,
many of which are frightful nests Of
disease and filth. Wednesday the pro-
prietors of two of these places were
brought before the Special Sessions and
fined each $50 for violating the sanitary
code. In one of these cellars there were
no fewer than twenty beds, and that, too,
in a space not much bigger than an Ordi-
nary horse rail car. Another had
sixteen. The price charged for lodging
in these dens is five and ten cents.

1t seems that the report about the dis.
ability of Southern Methodist Bishops
was premature. Bishop Kavanaugh is
in perfect health, and has just returned
from twelve months tour of episcopal
labor in Oregon, California, Colorado
and Montana. Bishop Pierce did not re-
turn to Georgia con account of ill
health, but having held six conferences
between September 7 and October 10,
has gone home. He has two others to
hold-the first one November 30. If il
is true that Bishop Wightman is dis
abled, and Bishop Paine is aged and
feeble, Bishop Pierce does full work,
