The Precaution Taken to Prevent Its Prema-
ture Publication.


ture Publication.
WAsHNGToN, Nov. 27.--The Critic tells how
the Presidents message is being put into type.
The President sent for Public Printer Rounds
one day last week and asked him if he thought
he could put his message in type and so guard it
as not to let it get to the public before it was
submitted to Congress. Mr.. Rounds assured
him that there was no danger but that he could
keep it safe, and the President has been furnish
ing the copy in daily installments ever since. 1t
is now nearly if not quite all in type. The great
est precaution is taken at the Government Print
ing-ofice to guard against its premature promul-
cation. The copy is sent down in sealed enve-
opes by special messenger to the Public Printer
personally, who. in turn, hands 1t over to a
trusty person who never loses sight of copy or
type until both are locked up in a safe in the
chief clerks office. The type is set in the
room occupied by the Congressional Record No
one is allowed in the room but small corps of
printers chosen from among those occupying po
stions of responsibility, all of whom are known
TO tine Public Printer to be entirely trustworthy.
AS soon as the copy is put in type the copy is
turned over to the clerk in charge The type is
again taken out and the corrections made, an
other proof taken, and the type and first proof
put back in the safe with the copy and the cor
rected proof sent to the President.
Public Printer Rounds has succeeded in put
ting the message in type each year without its
getting into the press and it is safe to predict
that he will do it again this year The first two
years Mr.. Rounds and his assistants set all the
type on the message themselves. President
Grant always submitted his messages to Con-
gress in manuscript President Hayes had one
of his messages printed prematurely, the copy
having been stolen from the printing Office.

A Plague of Ants,
Atlanta Constitution.


Georgetown D. c., is quaint old town and its
history is of more than ordinary interest,". Per-
haps the strangest incident in its annals was the
terrible scourge of black ants in $780, 1t is I'M
known where the ants came from, but it is suS-
pected that they were imported from Arabia in
a cargo of Mocha coffee The ants proved them
selves formidable enemy, laying waste every
green thing in their progressive march. Every
thing that could be thought of was tried to stop
their destructive ravages but nothing sue
ceeded They came in overwhelming
numbers, constantly augmented by rein
forcements. Business was brought to a stand
still. Property was damaged to the extent of
thousands of dollars. Into every nook and
Granny of public and private buildings these
pests forced their way. Sugar barrels they
stormed and literally wiped from the face of the
earth. The bank was compelled to close doors
half the time the services of the clerks being
required the other half to fight the invaders
Citizens gave up their houses and the ants took
possession in solid black body. Nothing was
treated with respect. Even the American flag
was chewed up and swallowed. The town coun-
Gil at last took the matter in hand and offered
reward of dollar per pint for dead ants
Suddenly and without warning the mysterious
visitors disappeared and were never seen again.
