BADLY SMITTEN.

The Power Welded by Pretty Little San

how badly he was smitten. She was a
pretty little blonde spinster, and she

This was some weeks ago. The

raised her eyes, swept them gently
around the crowd, and as they met hts
she bowed. Instantly three men in

two or three more farther up raised
their hats. The eight men glared at
one another, and it was evident that

she would have no title as the wife
Of a Republican President. "AIl would
be well, only you viii have no title" she
said; ''you will only be called Mrs. Cleve-

WHILE ANTS.
A Farmers Buildings Attacked and De
strOyed by These Insects.
lBIoomington all) Dispatch.


Prof. S. A. Forbes, State Entomologist,
was in this city to-day, returning from
Mount Palatine, Putnam County, where
he was summoned to view the work OF
damaging insects. He visited the farm OF
John Wilson, near Mount Palatine, and
found that his premises had been almost
completely destroyed by white ants, a
species very uncommon in America, but
very similar to the white ants of India and
Africa. The insects first attacked an out
door cellar, working on the UNDER
side of the roof and tho inside Of
the walls. Their working is confined
TO the woodwork, and they so
followed out the roof and sides Of
the cellar that 1t collapsed. From the cell
lar they spread to the residence, and have
completely ruined a great part of the
building. Here they worked through the
sills, in the studding, in the weather.
boarding, window and door castings and
the rafters and shingles. They also laid
hold Of the granary, which was built of
hard wood, and SO worked on the stills and
oak plank floor that the floor of its own
weight fell in. The cellar is completely
ruined; part of the house viii be liable
to be torn down, as will also the granary.
The loss entailed is several hundred doll
lars. The professor advised that all the
wood affected be destroyed, and the re-
mainder saturated with gasoline. He
says that he has known ants to work in
rotten logs and in culverts and bridges,
but he never knew them to attack build
ings. He says that the light is offensive
to them, and that their work is not easily
detected. He suggests that railroad mon
should exercise great care that these ants

been there four or five years, but their
presence there he can not account for, I'M

Today is the day set apart for
the Democratic primaries TO select
delegates 10 the city convention
soon TO be held in this city. The
growing disaffections among the
members Of that party forms a sub
Ject for much speculation in politi-
cal circles. Aside from the party
strife between the ring and the re-
formers, there seems TO be a grow
ing discord among what are known
as leading ring bosses. The reform
erS have already been denied any
voice in the primaries and republi-
can politicians are firm in the be-
lief that this element is hopelesslv
eS:ranged and that a coalition will
be formed in future which will sue

is commonly known as ..ring rule

which have not been fulfilled, and
it remains TO be seen what their at

in the February Century, we quote as
follows, Jeb' Stuart was very dar-

America ever produced. At the Second
Manassas, soon after VIC heard of the
advance of Mcdowell and Porter, Stuart
came in and made report to General
Lee. When he had done so General
Lee said he had no orders at that mo-
ment, but he requested Stu9rt to wait
awhile. Thereupon Stuart ttulned round
in his tracks, lay down on the ground,
put stone under his head and instantly
fell asleep. General Lee rode away and
in an hour returned. Stuart was still
sleeping. Lee asked for him, and Stuart
sprang to his feet and said. Here l am,
general
General Lee replied, i want you to
send n message to your troops over on
the left to send few more cavalry to
the right

Stuart, and with that he swung himself
into the saddle and rode off at rapid
gallop, singing as loudly as ho could,

The Torch Again Applied by
Spitcful Negroes.

Several weeks ago we published an
account of the burning of the crib of
Mr.. s. II. Huey, together with about
600 bushels Of coin. Also an account
of the arrest of two negroes, who, on
their way to Jail confessed to having
done the burning to crafty spite
they had at Mr.. Huey. On Wednes-
day night last, about 8 o'clock, an
other barn on Mr.. Huey's place was
burned. When the fire was discover
ed parties ran to the wells for water
but found the ropes cut and both
buckets in the we'll. His COW, which
was tied under a shed near one of the
wells, was badly cut and bleeding, and
the rope, with which she was tied, cut
in several places. Tracks, made by q
person in stocking feet, were found
leading from the barn to corner of
MIR. HIS dwelling and back 10 the barn,
but, as yet, it has been impossible to
ferret out the guilty party. The

If Autumnal days are shorter, they ere

quickened with grateful memories, /
resume the study-chair and begin new
lease OF labor. No patience have with
that stale phrase about "the shady side
Of co." IL servant of the Lord gets on
tho side Of tho hill that faces heaven, it
ought to be the sunny side. Nor is that
other nonsense about ''thc dead line of
so" worthy Of respect. The Psalmist
did not believe such stuff, or he would

moro than half-century have been
bearing-trees are still "full of sap and

Blind Chaplain Milburn's Labor
Speech.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The chap
lain, in his prayer in the House this
morning, said:
Give ear, oh God of Jacob, and
awaken us to see the danger which
threatens the civilizedworld,a a revolu-
ton more tremendous than any of
which history tells, iG which the scenes
of the reign of terror may be enacted
in every capital of Europe and Ameri-
ca. For long the few have mastered
the many because they understood the
open secret---tools to them that can
use them; but now the many have
learned the secret Of organization, drill
and dynamite, Rouse the rich men
Of the world to understand that the
time has come for grinding, selfish
monopoly to cease; that corporators
may get souls in them with Justice,
honor, conscience and human kind
ness. Teach the rich men of the
country that great fortunes are lent
them by Thee for other purposes than
to build and decorate palaces, to
found private collections of art, to
stock wine cellars, to keep racing
studs and yachts, and find better
company than hostlers, grooms and
jockeys, pool sellers and book makers.
Teach them, oh, God that it is Thee
who has given them power to get
these fortunes; that it is to prove
them, to know what is in their hearts,
whether they will keep Thy com
mandments or no, and that those
commands are that Thou shalt love
the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart,
and thy neighbor as thyself;' that if the
rich men of our land keep these COM
mandments the poor will follow the
example, and we at least will be saw
ed from the days of tribulation that
are fast coming on all the world.
Help US, o God, and save us."
