Proctor's Last Essays.

a series of popular scientific articles, by
nent astronomer and author, will appear in
the MORNING NEWS on the dates announced
below.
The article in this series upon "Plagues
and Pestilence" was received only the week
before the authors death, and was written
apropos of the yellow fever in Florida.
Indeed, the whole series is Prof. Proctor's
last popular scientific work for newspaper
publication.
They are expected to attract great atten-
ton throughout the whole country, and will
prove a valuable addition to scientific lore
which no one can well afford to lose. They
were obtainable by the MORNING NEWS
only on account of its prominence in the
world of journalism, and have an especial
interest for the newspaper readers of the
southeast.
These articles, six in number, are upon
the following topics;
l. For September %.
PLAGUE AND PEsTILENCE.
?. For September so.
LEARNING THE STARS.
2. For October {.
Our Two BRAINS.
!. For October ii.

ANEW KIND OF JERSEY MOSQUITO.
1t Discards Stripes on It's Legs and
Seems to Have Stickers in Its Feet.

~ O4SCdIOS SGrlpeS on lUS Legs duu
Seems to Have Stickers in Its Feet.
From the Neic York Sun.
new brand of mosquito has appeared in
New Jersey and taken complete possession to
the exclusion of all the old varieties. 1t is larger
and more healthy than the old ones, and has
plain gray legs without any stripes. 1t seems
to have ''sticker" in each of it's feet, and an
additional one in its head. 1t can hold a very
large quantity of blood, and it does not drop off
the skin when it is full. 1t is estimated by COM
petent authority that several million are born
every minute, notwithstanding the cold weather.
When the cool wave first came all the old va
rieties emlgrated for the south. There was an
unusually large crop of them this year. but the
new variety outnumbers the old, at least two to
one, and, in consequence, life near any of the
Jersey salt meadows is almost uncomfortable
The new insect is more vicious than the old and
does most of its work in broad daylight. The
old ones worked mostly at night. Scientific
men are trapping several thousand of the new
variety, and will keep them in glass cases until
they die, when an effort will be made to ascer-
tam to what particular tribe they belong, and
how many 'stickers" they have. together with
other interesting information

The mystery connected with the $4,000
contribution TO the fever sufferers has not
been cleared up yet, but here we have
another mystery of somewhat the same
sort. A gentleman walked into the ma
tional democratic headquarters in New
York the other day, and handed Chairman
Brice a check for $1,000, with the request
that no effort be made to find out his name.
Col. Brice promised, OF course. Probably
the donor is some former republican who
doesn't want it known that he has concluded
to desert his party.

A Warming to Democrats.

The chairman of the executive committee
of the Democratic party of this county, In
communication published i'll another
column, warns the democratic voters of the
county, that an effort will be made in al
probability at the election tomorrow to de-
feat some of the democratic nominees for
the legislature. and be calls upon all demo-
Gratis of the county to be at the polls pre-
pared to cast straight democratic tickets,
and also to see that the interests of the
party are protected in every particular.
The chairman has reliable information
doubtless Of the movement to which he
calls attention. and proposes to defeat it,
There will be no difficulty in defeating it if
democrats heed his warning and follow the
course which he points out.
The county ticket is a good one. The
men upon it were carefully selected
at a mass meeting made up of all
the various interests in the party.
They are intelligent and capable,
and if elected-and there is no reason to
doubt that they will be-they will prove
faithful to the trust confided to them. Two
of them have had great deal of experience
in legislation. When they represented the
county in the legislature they met fully all
expectations entertained of them. They
were attentive to their duties and discharged
them ably and satisfactorily. The other
one of them, although he has not served the
people in a public capacity, is eminently
fitted for doing so, and it is safe to say that
he will make reputation of which his con-
stituents will have reason TO be proud
There is no doubt that the candidate
for senator for this district and the
candidates for the state offices will
be elected, and there is every reason
to expect that the candidates for the
legislature from this county will be elected,
but in order to make their election sure
democrats should make it point to vote,
and to vote the ticket of their party No
democrat is SO pressed with business that
he cannot spare the time required to go
to the polls and cast his ballot, and there
are a great many democrats who can stay
about the polls the greater part OF the time
on election day and help protect the inter
ests Of his party. The warning of the
chairman should be needed, and his sugges-
tions acted upon.

The Slaughter of Women.

Two more victims have been added to the
list Of women murdered by the mysterious
London fiend. The sensation caused by
these murders has been increased very
greatly, and is not confined to London.
In addition TO the murders of the same
sort in Paris some years ago, mentioned
i'll tho MORNING NEWS the other day,
similar crimes have been committed in
the United States. In December, 1884,
in the western residence portion of
Austin, Tex, colored woman
was killed, and her body fearfully
mutilated, by an unknown person. The
crime was followed by others of the same
kind until within a month six colored
women had been killed. The perperator
of tie deeds, which were committed on
moonlight nights, was not caught, or, if he
was, he escaped punishment, for, as is the
case in London, while several arrests were
made, in no instance was there sufficient
evidence to justify conviction. Austin
was excited to the last degree, and the
police were denounced for inefiicency.
Skilled detectives from other states were
employed, but they were rs powerless as
the local police to unravel the mystery. At
length, the horror eliminated in the muir
der, on the same night, of two white
women, after which the carnival of crime
came to an end. The murderer was never
discovered.
The similarity of these atrocious deeds in
Paris, Austin and London is very striking.
Each victim in each of the cities was
woman, and was killed in about the same
manner. In no instance was there any APP
parent reason for the murder, and in
almost every instance the crime was COM
mitted under the very nose, so to speak, of
the police. The Paris assassin was captured,
and it is not Improbable that the one in
London will be- 1t seems hardly possible
that he can continue his work without be-
ing caught or that he can escape punish
ment for tho crimes he has committed
already

Prof. Virgins says the cause of the yell
low fever IN the south is purely astronom-
ical ION June 10, 1851" he says, "the
planets were in the same line and the earth
yielded to the tendency to approach the
sun, and since then cyclones, earthquakes,
floods, cholera aud yellow fever have devas-
tated our planet. The advance has been
only few miles, but the increased solar
attraction contracted the earths surface
causing floods The unequal shrinkage
caused earthquakes. The atmosphere has
become denser, and consequently holds more
carbon and its compounds in solution, pro-
ducing microbes, and thus cholera and yell
low fever. Several planets were in peri
helion at the same timo in the years 542 and
1865, and millions of people then persisted
by the plague and black death" Judging
from tho number Of newspapers which
printed his lengthy article, Virgins talk
for revenue was quito success.

There appears to be good deal of sham
about the excursions of people to Indian
apolis to see Gen. Harrison. A correspond
ent of the New York Sun, writing from
indianapolis, says: "In one respect the
people Of the whole country are deceived as
to Indiana. The pilgrimages to Gen. Harri-
sons home are not what they are repre-
scented TO be. The railroads are working up
these excursions at low rates, and are daily
bringing crowds DESTROYS of seeing Indiana's
big city and the state fair now IN progress
here. The pilgrims are not wholly repub-
licans either in fact or by avowaL They
are mainly sightseers. Their numbers are
habitually overstated. A band that came
while the reporter has been here was pub
lished as numbering 400 souls. Asa matter
of fact, the railroad sold only i99 tickets.
The alleged 400 were called republicans and
reported to have called on Gen. Harrison.
AS matter of fact, "A few of them did so,
and there was no proof that all of these
few were republicans" Probably most of
the visitors to Gen. Harrison's home 60
there TO find out what "chump" is.

the western Atlantic in bewildered sort of a
way. A large bunch of the derelicts was last
seen north of the Azores, and it Is not improb-
able that they will get into the south branch of
the gulf stream, and go to Africa to exc out the
timber resources of that continent
