INSECT EATING.

Why Not Eat Insects? is the title of
book recently published by a distinguished
naturalist in favor of the consumption by
man Of insects as an article of food. There
has been discussion of long duration be-
tween Bible students in attempting to
reconcile modern ideas to JOHN THE BAP-
lists diet of locusts and wild honey. The
modern prejudice against insect eating has
been so strong that even orthodox believers
have had their faith shaken in the story that
as good man as JOHN would voluntarily go
out into the wilderness to satisfy depraved
appetite by subSisting on such an abOminable
insect as the locust. The naturalist who is
seeking to lead the world back to the mod
est taste of the days of the first century
says that the nOn-cOnsumptiOn of insects is
wholly due to prejudice Having made
personal investigation of the matter, the
author of the book affirmS that the insect Of
ferS the best and most nutritious food.
In support Of this argument he cites the
fact that all insect-eating birds are the most
nutritious and best favored, and that they
get this flavor from the insects they con-
sumo. The best fish are those that live on
insects. He sees no use in man enjoying
the insect flavor second-handed through
birds and fish, but thinks chat we ought to
eat the insects ourselves instead Of leaving
the superb enjoyment to the woodcock or
the trout. He has made one important dis
covery in this connection. He finds that
the insects of finest flavor and most nutri-
tious are the ones most injurious to vegeta-
ton. When our prejudices have been dis
PEELED and our tastes adapted to the use of
insect diet, what a pleasant sense of re-
venge, in addition to the luxury of it, we
will enjoy, as we can go out among our po-
tato vines in the early morning to gather a
mess of Colorado beetles for breakfast!
How the good people of Kansas will enjoy
their savory dishes of fried grasshoppers, or
the California vine dressers their locust
stews. Or what gamy, spicy, peppery
flavor cotton or tobacco worm pie will have
for the Southern epicure. Thinking of these
delicious mOrselS it is no wonder this emf
nent naturalist asks why we do not eat in
SectS.

Good Eve NTackin.

CHICAGO June S.-Renewed interest in
the election fraud case has been developed
to-day by the confession of Charles E. Gill
more, who was arrested for perjury, on the
trial of Mackin and Gallagher in the United
States district court. Gilmore's perjury
consisted in an attempt to show that the
tickets found in the Eighteenth ward ballot
box had been printed prior to the election,
while the facts were clear that they were
printed after the election and sub
stituted for ballots regularly cast.
Gilmore now makes an affidavit
that the scheme of perjury was prepared by
Mackin. Gilmore also confessed to-day
that he participated in the substitution Of
the ballots. and declares that the whole af-
fair was arranged by Mackin, Gallagher and
a New York fine worker" whom he de-
scribed to the authorities. Gilmore carried
the bogus tickets to the county clerks Of
fee early ON Monday, Nov. "a, and then
gave the envelope to Thomas Dwyer, cash
Ter of the county clerks Office, person
who has never hitherto been mentioned in
connection with the crime.

Sentiment at Chicago.

SpoCldl 10 Cno GlODo.
CHICAGO, June S.-East-bound freight
rates were in a badly muddled condition to-
day, no road having any particular stand
ard, the majority, however, claiming
that they are out of the market at anything
under 13c per 100 pounds to New York. A
liz cent rate was made by one road giving
the shipper the full benefit of that rate and
acting on the theory that it was better to
openly what it claimed the other lines are
doing secretly. Many prominent railroad
men are advocating the policy
of establishing an open 10
cent rate believing that some contracts
have been made on that basis. and that if
all agreed the rate would bring the presi-
dents and managers to their senses quicker
than the present confusion and half-hearted
system. By agreement between the Balti-
more & Ohio and Ohio river pool
lines, decentralization is kept out of
Virginia and Southern coast territory.
Rates are maintained to Lynchburg and
Richmond at II cents. and to Washington
IL cents per 100 pounds. Rates are still
badly cut into the Middle states on all
classes of freight and the fight is as fierce
over that traffic as over seabOard business.

Sunday Races at Chicago.

CHICAGO, June Sat the West Side
driving parks yesterday some advertised
horse racing occurred. Several members of
the Third Presbyterian church attended in
order to observe the nature of the sport, so
that they might give testimony in the pro-
posed litigation with view of restraining
Sunday races Other West Side churches
sent similar committees. After his sermon
last evening the Rev. DR.. Kettridge of the
Third church requested the members of the
committee to meet him in the church par
lors and report the result of their investiga-
lions. The committee was in session about
twenty minutes, during which time about
ten written statements were presented. 1t
was the intention to use the statements as
affidavits in suits for an injunction to be
brought. When asked what the results of
the conference were, Dr.. Kettridge said:
COMMITTEES were sent to the Chicago driv
ing park, Washington boulevard and Doug
las park, and the reports are all that we eX-
pected or hoped for. We cannot make
them public now, as it would be poor policy
to publish the testimony. We expect to
produce it in court in a day or two. We
have Leonard Sweet and j. G. Gould en-
gagged and in day or two we hope to bring
the matter up in court and can then publish
what we have learned"

an insurance receivership; 1t is still better
thing to be a receiver; and it is the best
thing of all to be the receivers
attorneys. There is $21,1S3 paid
to referees, $61, 1881 paid to the receiver for
salary and expenses, and ISL, $40 to attor-
neys. Of the SS1, $50 paid QUITO attorneys,
$50, 400 went to one law firm, $12, sos to
another, 81, 1913 to another, $4,000 to an
other, 81, S23 to one lawyer and $1,000 to
another; and as if that was not enough,
$13, SS1 more was paid out for miscellane-
Gus attorney fees. From these figures it
will be seen that it takes an extraordinary
amount of law of high order to perform
the simple process of settling up the busi-
ness of an ordinary life insurance company.
Or the receivership of such a company is a
very juicy lemon.

The Globes Chief Merit.

Foreman, d. T., Chronicle.
The GLOBE needs no recommendation from
the press as it is well known already as the
thriftiest and neatest paper published in the
Northwest. The GLOBE contains the essence
of the wire and the mail, and nothing of i'm
portance or public interest escapes it's col
umns. It has gained wide fame as being the
first paper to publish the account Of Riel's
capture, and not only this, but it contains
news that other contemporaries are tardy in
getting. So much for alacrity and get up and
git From it's infancy the GLOBE has adj
vanced until now it stands in the same rank
with metropolitan journals. The news is con-
centrated into space which does not require
an hours reading to get the whole substance
OF, and this one merit is sufficient. 1t is
sought by the business man and farmer as
the paper best adapted to his business.

numerous acts of highway robbery recently

Endictmeists Against Ward and Fish,
New YORK, June S.-Two more indict-
ments were found by the grand jury to-day
against Ferdinand Ward and James D. Fish,
charging them with grand larceny in the
first degree. Ward was arraigned in the
court Of oyer and terminer to-day. He
pleaded not guilty, with leave to withdraw
his plea and demurrer. The indictments
charge the theft of $4,000 from the
Marine National bank against them. The
larceny is alleged to have been committed
on April II, 1884. One Indictment is for
$50. 900 and the other for $4,000. The
district attorney moved that Ward be taken
from Ludlow street Jail and incarcerated in
the Tombs prison. This was opposed by
Wards counsel. The court decided to al
low Ward to remain in Ludlow street jail
until his trial was begun.

The Passenger Trouble.

Special 10 Une GlODe.
CHICAGO, June S. The regular weekly
meeting of local passenger agents of the
Eastern trunk lines was held at the Office
of Joint Agent Moore to-day. The situa-
ton was discussed especially in reference
to Chicago & Atlantic tickets, which
are selling at brokers' offices at from
$3.50 to So below the regular rates,
to the decentralization of the adopted tariff.
AS that road refuses to attend a meeting or
be governed by its decisions the problem of
keeping up rates in the face of its deter
mination is rather difficult one. 1t was
finally agreed that several agents
should collect all of the in
formation on the subject possible
and turn it over to the joint agent, who
will then call special meeting at which
the proper action to take will be considered.
Reduced rates are allowed to the Bible
