Jack. the Ripper. Again.


1t is matter of common tradition that
many of the worst pests Of our fields were
introduced by the early colonists under
some mistaken notion of their value. In
all newly-settled parts Of the world the
same mistake is being repeated over and
over again. An Englishman writing to
Nature from one of the South Sea Islands
says:
Thousands of acres of pasturage have
been destroyed in this island by the distri-
button by birds Of the LoHtGHo, which was
unfortunately introduced here by the first
Roman Catholic missionaries to form
hedge for their property at st. Louis or
Conception.
The "Gendarme plant" was brought here
in a pillow by gendarme from Tahiti. 1t
was seed attached to wing of silk cot
/ ton. The gendarme shook out his pillow,
the wind carried the seed to a suitable spot,
and now it yies with the Ldatana in de-
stroying our pastures.
The seeds Of water plants are conveyed
to vast distances, adhering to the hairs and
feathers of the legs Of water birds-ducks,
berons and waders of all sorts. In London
the basins Of the fountains IN Trafalgar
Square were peopied by LlmHea, brought

We have just got plant here bearing a
lovely flower, but whence it comes no one
knows. 1t has hard, wooden seed capsules,
each furnished with two hooks as hard as
steel and as sharp as needles. These,
hooking into the hide Of any animals
would be carried for days, until forcibly
| dislodged.

FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Closing Arguments in the Celebrated
Wham Robbery Case.

Closing Arguments in the Celebrated
Wham Robbery Case.
TuscoN, December 14th.-The argument
in the Wham robbery case continued all
day yesterday and to-day. S. NJ. Franklin
followed F. II. Hereford. Goodrich fol-
lowed Franklin and Congressman Mark A.
Smith followed Goodrich.
This afternoon, by many innuendoes,
Smith made allusion to the removal of
Judge Barns, as a means of getting con-
vietion, claiming that Judge Sloan had
ruled always in favor of the prosecution
and that a conviction had to be made in
order to clear Msjor Wham of any suspicion
and crown Marshal Meade with glory.
Judge Sloan stood all the remarks for a
while. cautioning counsel, who persisting,
was fined 800 for contempt.
The argument continues tonight.
United States Attorney Jetferds will close
tomorrow, and the jury will probably get
the case tomorrow night.
Counsel for the Government contended
that one of the robbers had been killed
during the fight and buried, who was a
stranger in the country, but friend OF
Cunningham's. He was seen before the
robbery, but not since.
Mr.. Goodrich, in his argument to-day,
admitted there had been burial, but
claimed the party killed was one OF the
robbers, and one of band from atar, who
conspired to commit the robbery. The body
was buried and herd of cattle driven over
the ground to obliterate all traces OF the
grave.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REcoRD-uNIoN.l
DEMOCRATIC STATESMEN.
They Are Much Worried Over Silcott's
DefalcatiOn.


WASHINGTON, December 13th.-A num-
ber of Democratic Representatives clus-
| tered around Representative Mills IN the
House this morning and talked over the
effect of Silcott's defalcation on the party s
chances in the next election.
Mills was chief spokesman, and he laid
down vigorously bis opinion that the DEM
ocrats could not afford to reappropriate the
lost money to reimburse themselves. 1t
would lose the party, be said, thirty or
forty members in the next House. 1t
might be the money was lost through no
fault of theirs, and they thought the Gov
ernment responsible, but in every close
district the party would find their opponents
on the stump making loud proclamation
and CRYING that Democratic Sergeant-at-
Arms had lost the peoples money and the
Democrats had voted to pay it back. 1t
would lose them several hundred votes
right along, and before the campaign was
over some members would be vainly seek
ing TO give the sum appropriated sway to
churches or anybody that would have 1t,
as was the case with the back-p grab.
The best way out of 1t was for the Demo-
cratic party leaders and Leedom to go
among their friends and raise the money
and turn it over to the Treasury to make
good the deficit
He was willing himself to give his No
yember salary toward the fund, and he
thought other Democrats would do the
same.
