Bitten by an Electric Bug.

Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
j. Mclaughlin, of Savannah, was Bit
ten on one hand by an electric bug a
week ago Sunday, and ever since that
time ue has suffered with very sore
hand. The bug was very large, gray
one, measuring two inches in length.
1t flew in through an open window,
near which Mr.. Mclaughlin sat,
and, striking the wall, fell to the
door. He picked it up and started to
throw it out, when it began to peforate
his fingers with its claws. MI. McLaugh-
lin said the sensation resembled that of
several fish hooks being torn through
the flesh. Immediately his hand began
to swell, and his arm and face and head
were broken out in small pimples
within twenty-four hours after, and
for the past week the wounds have
been extremely painful. DIR. Duncan is
treating his hand, and says that he
never had a similar case. The bugs
abound in Augusta, but were never
seen in this section until after the city
was lighted by electricity. They have
never before been considered poison
Gus, but Mr.. Mclaughlin says that he
is convinced that a rattlesnake bite can
not be much worse.

The present session of the legislature
has been most extraordinary one, and
it is not calculated to impress upon the
people of the state very eXal ted Opin-
ion of their representatives, either for
craftsmanship or integrity. Twice has
the charge gone up that the members of
the legislature were being bribed with
money for their votes. The first was in
connection with the election of United
States senator, the last in connection
with the land grant to the Duluth &
Winnipeg railroad. Generally speaking,
it is easy to make charge of that kind,
and very little credence is given to it.
Bnt this time the allegation is made by
Senator Pope in open session. Unless
there is good foundation for the allega-
ton Senator Pope ought to be expelled.
If there is good foundation let the peo-
pie have the facts by an impartial in
vestigation. Let it be speedy and
thorough. and ''let no guilty man es-

DULUTH, March 25.-There will prob
ably be a warm aldermanic 'scrap"
over the action of Mayor Sutphin. To
day he suspended Police Officer Briggs
for INSTRUMENTATION, and the council to-
night decided to have the police COM

recently transferred from a good to a

was because he captured sneak thief,
who was afterwards released by the
chief of police without being brought
into court. The council will next week
go into committee of the whole to con-

ON THE DECLINE.

The example of the declining senator
from Rhode Island seems to have some
imitators. The men nominated in the
Republican state convention last week
for both governor and lieutenant gov
ernor declined. The state is too small
for governor to count much, and the
new voters may make the state doubt
full in politics. The most noticeable
feature of the convention was its ap-
prevail of the act of the legislature in
giving the voters chance to wrench
prohibition out of the constitution as
failure. Not even a resolution to en-
courage the drys was presented. The
amendment went in with sweeping
majority only four or FIVE years ago, but
it is conceded that the vote next week
will be as decisively the other way.
Considering the size of the state, this
will be the blacklist eye the cause of
constitutional prohibition has ever sus-
tanned. 1t will have an effect all over
the country. If the experiment is a
failure in the sedate little New England
community, other sections will profit by
the example.

the signal service stations show that
the first twenty-five days in this month

Word on the Subject.
OTTAWA, ont, March 25.-Hon.
George E. Foster, minister of finance,
has the following to say regarding the
decision of the Dominion government
to resume the issue of fishery licenses
under the modus vivendi: ''The gov
eminent has come to the conclusion to
keep the modus vivendi for
another year. Last year closed
with President Cleveland'S threat of
retaliation, and we had no intimation
as to what would be the course of the
incoming president. The modus vivendi
was kept in force last year with the CO.
operation of Newfoundland, and all al
liances under it expired at the end of
the year. The fishing season will not
begin until the latter part of March, and
there was no necessity for action regard
ing the policy of the current year until
the fishing season commenced. Nego-
tiations were in progress with the New
foundland government. and both were
DESTROYS of obtaining the tone of Presi-
dent HarriSon'S message before final
conclusion was arrived at. That mes
sage contained nothing unfrienly to the
government, and did not intimate any
renewal of the strained relation. The
government, therefore, came to the con-
clusion, acting in concert with the New
foundland government, to continue the
modus vivendi for the present year with
a view to leaving the way open for the
resumption of negotiations if any desire
is found on the part of the United
States"
What about closing Bebring sea to
foreign fishing vessels?'
ut seems to be required by law that
the president of the United States shall
issue each year proclamation stating
the conditions of the laws which regu-
late the fishing in Behring sea. This
has been done. They claim the whole
sea to the westerly boundary formerly
claimed by Russia, but it is a claim the
maritime powers of the world are not
likely to acquiesce in"

THE TRUE STORY
OF Crown Prince Rudolph's Love
Affair and Tragic End,


Affair and Tragic End.
DETROIT, March 25.-Maurice Hardt-
muth, of Vienna, a member of the
Vienna and London firm OF T. Hardt-
muth q Co., and who is now travelling
in this country in the interest of his
firm, was interviewed by the Free
Press tonight. In answer to a
question as to the feeling in
Austria over the tragic death
of the crown prince, he said:
st is regarded as a most unhappy and
deplorable event. A friend of mine
gave me the true facts in the case. He
was with the crown prince on his hunt
ing expeditions, and was to large
extent his cOnfidant. The crown prince
was madly in love with beautiful and
pure young girl, and desired to obtain
a divorce from his wife for the purpose
of marrying her. This the emperor
would not listen to, and much trouble
resulted between him and the heir
to the throne. Then the latter
wrote directly to the pope APP
pealing for his intercesSiOn. but that
dignitary returned the letter to the en-
peror. The next scheme on the part of
the crown prince was a marriage of the
of union. This was also defeated by the
emperor, after which the young people
determined to die together. The reason
that the crown prince was buried in
gloves was because two of his fingers
were broken and his hand badly bruised
by friend in endeavoring to wreSt the
fatal revolver from his grasp
''How is the new crown prince re-
garded?"
Most unfavorably. He will never
be emperor. The people will see that
he does not. Austria is now one of the
happleSt countries on earth, but his ac-
ceSSiOn to the throne would be fatal to
it. He is very bad man. For in
stance, a few months ago, when intoxi-
Gated and riding with party of friends,
he met funeral procession on its way
to the cemetery. He halted the process
sion, forced the mournerS to deposit the
coffin upon the ground, and then he and
his friends amused themselves for
some time by jumping their horses over
1t as it lay upon the bier. On another
occasion he took party of his roySter-
ing companions home with him late at
night and insisted upon conducting the
entire party to his wife's bed chamber.
An only and faithful servant barred
their passage, but the new crown prince
shot him down in cold blood and led his
companions over his dead body and into
. the room. He is not in the direct fam
lily line of succession to the throne, and
the people of Austria will not submit to
the indignity of being ruled over by
such Demon"

a Trap to Catch a Tapeworm.

New York Times.
A prominent physician was convers-
ing few nights ago concerning the
curious instruments invented to aid
surgical and medical science. Scores
were considered as remarkable and the
list was pretty nearly exhausted
"Fll tell you of one now
that I'll wager you never heard of. 1t
was invented by Kentucky physician,
was patented. and the model is now In
the patent Office at Washington. 1t
was invented as means for removing
tape worms. Its description is as fol-
lows: The affair is made of platinum,
about the size of small haZelnut.
1t is spherical and hollow. In one
side of il is cut an opening about the
diameter of an ordinary lead pencil and
after the fashion of mouSetrap. Be-
hind the loop which springs up to catch
the prospective victim is a tiny hook
"The patient is supposed to fast for
two days. This accomplished, the tape
worm becomes thin and wants some
thing to eat. Then is the time for the
operation. A little piece of cheese is
hung upon the hook within the trap,
the springs are set, and, after a silk
turedu Has DeeH lieu 10 liJUie nOl6
in the end of the trap, the latter is
swallowed. The worm is supposed to
be ready to take almost anything. He
encounters the trap and the cheese be-
comes rare opportunity to him. He
sticks his head in through the little hole
and fuses with the cheese, when snap
goes the trap and master worm is caught
about the head.
when two hours have elapsed the
trap and its victim are solely pulled up
by means of the silk cord, and the mon
ster of the abdominal cavity is removed.
| am not aware that many OF these traps
have been used. inasmuch as the tape
worm lives not on solids, but simply
upon absorption. But the affair was a
novel one for physician to invent, and
actually to get patent upon"
