Both Pittsburg and Allegheny suffered
last night with a plague. About dark In
every portion of the two cities there were
great swarms of white flies or gnats. In
many places, and especially about the
electric lights, the air was thick Win
them. 1t was nothing unusual to see .
party of q dozen people walking along lne
street with a dozen handkerchiefs puncn'
ing into dozen pairs of eyes to remove the
insects which had taken refuge there. Iney
dropped readily behind collars and made
people hot under that portion of their dress
On the bridges they took especial delight IN
fiying into girls faces and women would
be seen hurrying along with handkerchlefs
so arranged that they looked like HOUR
who had Just escaped from the harem OF
some noble Turk.
They had decided liking for drowning
themselves in anything to drink. Iney
were not at all particular and were as WILL
ing to perish in the meek and harmless
glass of beer as to end their lives amid the
glories of a silver fz
On the South Side they were particularly
numerous. DIR. Arnholt's Office on Carson
street became so unpleasant from the visit
OF the little pests that he was abliged 70
vacate temporarily and dozens of others had
the same experience. Toward midnight the
flies began to disappear. many ofthem being
killed by coming in contact with the elec-
trio lights and under each light the ground
was almost white with dead insects.
