THE ANNUAL MOTH WAR.
Things Should Be Rolled Up ant
Pasted Up to Escape the Ravages

Things Should Be Rolled Up and
Pasted Up to Escape the Ravages.
From the NetV York World
Now is the time of year when a great
number of women can find it in their heart
to declare that housekeeping is failure of
the most dismal kind. The cares that loom
in the spring are Ito them) more numerous
than the flowers that bloom, and well to the
fore among the exigencies of the season
comes the need of waging deadly war
against the merry little moth that is sure to
get in her fine work-and her eggs-wher-
ever vigilance is relaxed for an instant
The knowing woman begins as soon as
the days grow warm to pack up her goods
Furs and clothing go first. The former
should be carefully shaken, beaten with
rattan wand, then combed with a rather
coarse new comb and finally rubbed both
ways with damp linen cloth. Then hang
in a sunny window for few minutes. and
afterwards wrap them in feveral thick
nesses of newspaper. The one thing that a
moth absolutely detests is printers ink, so
an illustrated sheet that is very inky is
especially commended. Put your news
paper package into a clean box and paste
strips of thick brown paper along the edges.
Clothing must be absolutely clean when
put away. If it can be washed so much
the better. If not, brush and sponge it
thoroughly, Then wrap and put up In the
same manner as the furs. You can sur
round the shelves, drawers and places where
these packages are stored with any of the
awful-smelling 'exterminators" which you
may select to scatter through your house,
and if there are no moths inside those boxes
when you seal them up there WON'T any get
there later.
Small rugs and fur mats may be similarly
dealt with, but carpets and hangings pre-
sent great difficulties. 1t is best to have
the former thoroughly cleaused and rolled
with tar paper in the folds. Then wrap
them first in newspapers and then sew or
pin securely in stout unbleached muslin.
A like treatment is recommended for drap-
cries. If you can devote a room in your
house to the storage of the goods which are
especially toothsome to moths, have it
thoroughly cleaned. the halls and
corners especially. and then use camphoret
plentifully all about 1t will make the
place smell like morgue or as if the drain
age was meet for the interference of the
board Of health If you live in a flat the
occupants of the other apartments will
probably complain and move out. If your
husband has arranged to sleep IN the house
during the summer he will undoubtedly get
room at the club and sleep there, but the
moths will stay away.

WHEELING TO NEW YORK.
Charles B. Nelson Starts on a Bicycle
Journey from Chicago.

Charles B. Nelson Starts on Bicycle
Journey from Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Charles B. Nelson of
the Inter- Ocean has started on a bicycle
Journey to New York. His purpose is to
reach his destination in seventeen days.
Should he be successful he will have marked
to his credit the distinction of being the
first man who has travelled this route within
the specified time-an honor which Nelson
wisely considers sufficient. Without peril
ing his future reputation in the desire to be
a phenomenon for a day aud a failure for
ever after, Nelson has modestly placed his
time to suit himself. and at the same time
cover the ground with speed sufficiently
fast to lift him far above the heads of the
ordinary bicycle riders.
There are many difficulties to be encoun-
tered along the route of this trip, as Van
Wagner, the famous eastern wheelmah,
can amply testify. All is not smooth sail
ing. 1t is not pleasant summer excur-
sion, as many imagine. Indeed, it is as
difficult piece of wheeling as can well be
found outside of some OF the rough and I'M
Travelled territory of the west. Miles of
perfect roadwayS lead with startling and
annoying directness to other miles of abom-
inably rough and sandy stretches, which
make riding torture and walking a joy.
Then, if it should rain, the wheelman OK
periences all the disappointments and hard.
ships that attend such a misfortune. The
element of chance is very prominent in a
ride such as Nelson has undertaken, fact
which apparently is lost to the sight and
sense of many critics and observers.

murder was committed last night at b.

Late last evenening Frank Krulis, cigar
maker, walked into the house of Constable
Saseck. laid on the table human finger
and said he had killed Winnie
Croupa, a fellow cigar maker, and
had brought his finger to prove
it. The constable first thought the man
was joking but Krulis said: II mean

l concluded to kill him. met him on the
road tonight and cut his throat. wanted
to make sure he never would speak again,
so l cut open his belly and placed his bow
els over his face Then 1 cut off finger
for you"
The constable hastily summoned posse
and accompanied by the murderer they
went out and found the body. 1t was a
horrible sight. 1t lay in a frame of bloody
snow; the clothing was torn from it and
a hole the size of a sugar bowl was in the
abdomen; the entrails lay over the breast,
neck and face; the right car and index
finger of the left hand were missing.
When the party returned to the village
they were met by an excited crowd,
which wanted to lynch Krulis, but the
constables succeeded in getting him to
Jail. When searched the missing ear
was found in the murderer's pocket and he
told Judge O'Brien he had brought il for
him and also handed the Judge the blood
stained knife with which the awful deed
had been committed. Throughout the eX-
animation Krulis conducted himself in a
stolid manner. 1t is believed jealousy OF
Croupa's attentions to young woman was
one OF the motives Krulis had for the crime

where they must be inspected by the vet
Urinary Inspector of the department of
agriculture. This is done as a protection
against the introduction into this country
from Canada of any contagious diseases af
fectlng those classes of ANIMALS. Such
inspection is provided for by the act of
August 30, 1890. And in view of the fact
that the English veterinary authorities at
Dundee recently seized Canadian cattle, de-
ciarlng them affected with contagious
pleuro-pneumonia, Secretary Rusk feels it
incumbent upon him TO take all measures
necessary for its rigid enforcement. More
over, England has prohibited the importa-
ton into that country of sheep from the
United States. on grounds that the govern
ment has not heretofore caused to be made
an inspection or quarantine of sheep arriv-
Ing here from other parts of the world.
The stringent regulations of Secretary
Rusk are designed to insure the protection
OF the live stock of the United States from
imported diseases, and to secure, if posi-
bic, the removal of the prohibitory restric-
tions now placed upon animals exported
from this country.

SILVER SENATORS.
Teller Says They are Growing
Impatient.
HARRISON DOES NOT HESITATE
To Say He Will Veto a Free Coinage Measure
The Silver Pool-A Pan-Ameri-
can Dollar.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-TSpecial tele-
gram to TIE HERALD. Senator Teller in
forms me that the silver Senators are
growing impatient and that they will not
consent much longer to delay in bringing
up some of the measures looking to the
free coinage of silver. President Harrison
is very outspoken in his opposition to free
silver and does not hesitate tc say
that he will veto measure Of
that character. My best information is
that the President is more concerned
regarding the effect such action would
havs upon his denomination than upon the
party, and that this, the real secret of IN
easiness, was the fear that free coinage
bill should pass both houses.
Senator Teller, with blunt western di-
rectness, told me this evening that the
party which, as party, antagonized free
silver viii be swept out of existence in
1872. "If,'' said he, ''the Democrats should
endorse our position, and our own party
(the Republican, oppose it, the Republican
presidential candidate will carry fewer
states two years hence than General Scott
did in 1882"

A Most obIising Ne1gnbor.

There is a clerk in one of the depart
ments named-well, call him Smithe, for
that's not his name-who is VIGOROUSLY
close listed, and was never known to pay
debt unless actually forced to do so. See
ing neighbor the other morning going
down town, Smithe hailed him:
Say, George, as you'll be on the avenue
today would you mind looking in at the
express Office and see if there is small
package there for mes"
''Not at all. I'll be glad to oblige YOU"
So George called and found a small box
for Smithe, on which there was due TWEEN
ty-fve cents 1t struck him at once that
his economical neighbor would probably
be short quarter when he handed him
the package, and he might then perform
the feat known as whistling for it, so he
left the box and went home. Passing
Smithe's residence that worthy was wait
ing for him.
"Wel, George, did you find anything at
the express office?'
"Oh, yes" said George, "there was a
package for you marked c.. O. D.. twenty
five cents, so gave them your address,
and it'll be along directly Fine weather

American Economic Association.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-At to-day's ses-
sion of the American Economic association
a number of papers were read and the re-
port of Secretary Ely discussed. 1t repre-
sented the association in a prosperous con-
dition, the number of members and sub
scribers on the list being 635. Three
national associations on the other side of
the world. the report said, had received an
impulse which gave them an existence
from the American Economic association
The report suggested the wisdom of con-
tinuing the policy of offering prizes for
essays, the object being to awaken public
interest in economic topics and lead to the
formation of intelligent opinions upon i'm
portant matters of the day.
The report of the committee on statistics
By Hon. Carroll d. Wright, was read at
the evening session. The report said that
tisticans was equal to that of any other
country. AS to quality, their work fell
somewhat below the scientific
characteristics which belonged to
continental efforts The report spoke
encouragingly of the progress of statistical
investigation and science in the United
States-a work which was viewed with
increasing respect abroad and was excit-
ing widespread interest at home
The evening session closed 6y the read
ing of an interesting paper by Prof. H. G..
Adams on Statistics as Means Of Correct
ing Corporate Abuses" The ideas en-
bodied are that the granting of corporate
privileges should be limited to those bust
nesses in which the interests of the pub
lie predominant over the interest of in
dividual corporations. Corporations should
be required to mako such reports as will
enable the government to direct their
policy and control their administration.
Other businesses should be subject to in
quiry with the purpose of determining
whether or not business in any case should
be required to resume corporate form.

The Legislative Silver Pool Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The final conclu-
sion IN respect to Dockery's resolution
providing for an investigation of the
charges that Representatives and Senators
were interestedin the silver pool will prob
ably be reached by the rules committee
soon after the holidays are over The COM
uittee, when the subject was last consid-
cred, discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of summon
lng a few witnesses to be Intercepted
under oath before deciding further to re-
port to the House on the resolution. 1t
was thought that if regularly subppnaed
the correspondents of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, in which the charge of a legisla-
tive silver pool was originally made, might
be willing to make some more tangible
statements than they had published or had
been willing to volunteer 10 the committee.
The speaker is favorable to this course as
he has doubts OF the propriety of investi-
eating charges that do not make specific
ana definite allegations with somewhat of
rircumstantial detail, and thought the rules
committee should have more of a basis than
B simple newspaper publication upon
which TO order an investigation. A deci-
Sion TO report Dockery's retolution to the
House with a favorable recommendation
was almost reached when the shipping Dill
Bnd other matters came up and delayed
final determination as to what to do with
the resolution.

Stanley Winston Company,s Receiver.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-According to charges
made in court to-day the Stanley Winston
company, a real estate cooperation, was
wrecked by stock speculation by President
2. E. Stanley. Bertram M Winston,
treasurer, to-day applied for an appoint
ment for a receiver for the concern and
that the affairs of the corporation be wound
ny. Stanley is charged with misappropri-
ating $4,000. G.. M. Walker was appointed
receiver.
Winston says he discovered few days
ago that Stanley had misapplied $40, 600.
and that most OF it had gone in wild and
reckless speculation On the Chicago stock
exchange. The wrecked corporation was
organized last fall, succeeding the old firm
of 2. +. Stanley u Co. Prior to the organ
1zation of the new company, Stanley was
engaged in confidential business with GER
tain customers, and considerable portion
OF this private business was never merged
into the business of the firm. Among the
transactions which the Winstons claim
We're put through by Stanley in his indi-
vidual capacity were deals with H. Nc
Cormlck and j. F. Keeney, involving re-
spectively $4,000 and $4,000. After
Stanley became convinced of his liability
to criminal prosecution, he gave it out that
the corporation was liable to Mccormick.
keeney and others for money intrusted to
and Incorporated by him Winston
SAID Mccormick threatened to bring suit
against the corporation, and asked the
court to enjoin him and others from so
doing. The court took no action on the
point to-day. Mccormick filed q suit
against the company for $4,000 damages
The assets, according to Winston, are suf-
ficlent to meet all obligations and the value
of the securities held by the banks exceed
the amount of Indebtedness by $4,000.

How He Caught Them.

The mayor of one of the smaller towns
of Italy was once invited on account of his
public position to take part in a grand
dinner at which the nobility and promi-
nent people of the district were to be pres
sent.
In the ordering of the seats it happened
that he was placed between two would-be
wits of high social station
Although strangers to him they knew
each other very WELL and by a sort of tacit
understanding determined to have in their
own way little fun out of their companion
They began by making much of his of
fetal dignity, and the great qualities neces-
sary to properly fill it,, They laid stress
upon the decay of the standard of fitness
in Office, and congratulated themselves
that they had at last met with an instance
where the man did honor to the office.
The mayor stood it for some time, and
then in the blandest manner remarked,
'You make me more worthy, gentlemen,

ing genius, nor yet am I sot or a
simpleton, but rather, if you will permit
such self measurement, something between

Sale of the Belmont Stables.

BABYLON, N. Y, Dec. 27-The sale of
the crack racers and pick of the yearlings
at the nursery stables of the late August
Belmont brought large crowd of promi-
nent turf men here to-day. The event was
regarded as the most important sale of rae
ing horses since the selling or the Rococas
stables in 1886, and all the prominent turf
men had representatives present. Colonel
S. d. Bruce was auctioneer.
Raceland, winner of the 1889 Suburban,
was the first horse put up and was sold to
Michael E. Dwyer at $1,000.

and Fred Eschner paid s., 500 for Magnate

three yearold son of ST. Blaise, Eschner
starting the bidding at $4,000. 1t went
ahead with $500 and $1,000 jumps, and the
horse was finally sold to NJ. E. Dwyer for
S25, 900. The comparatively small price rea
liked for him was q great disappointment
and was due probably to the fact that he is
not eligible for some of the richest three
year-old stakes of next season.
La Tosca proved a great favorite and
after spirited bidding, was sold to Hough
Brothers at S13, 900.
Eschner paid Sc, 600 for Washer.
