Silver Spiders ON Fair Necks.

Baltimore American: Spiders are
the vogue nowadays, and spiders the
girls must have. Yesterday an Ameri-
can representa- tive walked up Charles
street and turned down Lexington.
Taking out his note book, the news
paper man began jotting down notes
on entomology, as studied on the cost
umes of the girls. A pretty little maid
en-, all gorgeous in crushed strawberry
and bright yellow, came jauntily down
the street, smiling ard chatting to her
friend. She wore spider. l. was a
delicate creature of silver, and rested
gracefully at her throat, its long limbs
wandering promiscuously about her
neck. The next subj ect rested on the
expanding bosom OF fat, middle aged
maiden. The specimen of the arach-
nida class was hideous monster with
an ugly looking head and forbidding
palpi, or feelers. 1t nestled closely to
the maiden's throat, and seemed SUI
premely happy. So did the maiden.
At times they came in tgos, resting at
the throats, and seemingly raising
their heads to make faces AZ each
other.

Kate Field and the Dude.

Kate Field has a vigorous way of ex-
pressing an opinion that leaves no
doubt as to her meaning. She says
something to the point about that new
anomaly, the dude. "The dude is my
horror-a creature who fills me with
disgust. OF all the social excrsscences
inflicted upon that peculiar American
bulb called society deem him the
most useless kind of fungus. Has he
one redeeming point? If he has, pray
tell me. for l cannot find it. He has
no individuality, no manhood, no quail
ity, even of the most incipient order,
and all that I can see that he is good
for is to nurse his cane and fatten his
nose at a club window"

pear on the bastle-felds to encourage
their husbands and sons fighting against

they would not have hidden themselves

strengthened their nerves by exercise?
I don't think that hereafter women

heart may be of much use to them,

A Terrible ScOurge.

La an interview last evening with Dr.
N. a. Paaren, State Veterinarian, a
representative of the Inter Ocean OBJ
tanned the following facts relative to
the disease of FLANDERS, more or less
prevalent throughout the state of Hi
nois. The Doctor said the counties
most affected were Jackson. Mclean,
Perry, Carroll, and Whitesides. He
was first induced to visit Caleta, White
sides county, owing to certain informa-
ton he had received from that place,
relative to the deaths of the two men,
already made public, the disease affect
ing them being known as CHAMBERS. He
| reIrained, however, from taking this
step until he had communicated with
DR.. j. III. Rauch, the Secretary of the
State Boa4d of Health.
THE LAW.
The state law was against his inter
| ference except in the case of the dis
| ease sfflicting animals. On hearing
from DR.. Paaren, the State Board of
Health Immediately communicated
with the town Board of Health of Gen
eseo, and out of this arose the appoint
ment of DR.. Paaren to visit and report
| upon the district referred to. He says
| that by virtue Of this appointment of
| the 11th inst, he made careful survey
| and inspection, occupying two days,
| and advised sanitary measures as fol-
lows: /. That the town Board of health
cause The dwelling house of the Conway
family, in the township of Geneseo, to
be Immediately vacated, end thor
ough disinfection be instituted under
the supervision of physician. 2. That
five of the horses owned and kept by
the Conway family be destroyed and
buried deeply in the ground, and forty
rods from the public highway. 3.
That the whole of the stable in which
the five horses were kept, together
with the harness and all utensils, be
burned. 4. That all the fencing, to-
gether with the fence and posts for a
distance of 400 feet along the public
highway, also the fencing around the
barnyard and all loose railing, be burn
ed. 5. That all hitching-posts and rail
ing Throughout the village be destroyed.
FURTHER PRECAUTIONS.
6. That the six horses remaining on the
Conway place, besides horses owned
by neighboring farmers and three other
horses owned in the village of Coleta,
be kept secluded during 60 days. or, if
necessary, beyond that date, and that
they be examined every tenth day by
veterinary surgeon.
These precautions were recommend
ed by DIR. Paaren because of the exist
ence of CHAMBERS among horses owned
by the late w. Conway, who, together
with his son George Conway, died from
CHAMBERS, or true "equinia." DR.. Paar-
en- adds that the prompest legislative
action is needed to stay this frigthful
disease. No city or town is safe while
it exists at any one point in State. 1t
spares neither men nor beast. Unfor-
tunately, the tendency on the part of
farmers and othersis to sell sfi cted ami
mails at the highest price they will fetch.
This the government must look to it if
they would save humanity from q
frightfu! scourge.
