A PLAGUE OF SPIDERS.
Millions of the Insects Raiding the Trees OF
California.

California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 6.-Millions of
small red spiders have attacked the fruit
orchards in and around the town of Lodi.
The pest is far worse than plague of To-
Gusts. The spiders first made their appear
ance about ten days ago, Immediately after
a season of very hot weather. The ground
is red with the insects, and great damage to
crops is the result.
In size the spiders are almost infinitesimal,
but there are millions and billions of them.
They cover the ground with thin web.
They seem to attack the eastern side of the
trees where the foliage is thickest, the
most. They lay their eggs all over the
leaves, and when the eggs begin to hatch
the Juice of the leaf begins to disappear.
The body of the leaf is not injured, that is,
no holes are eaten in it, but the young
spiders seem to draw the juice out. H. o.
Williams, who is a prominent fruit grower
at Lodi, said, in an interview, this after
noon:
81 have examined the spider eggs under
the microscope and could see hundreds of
them on leaf. The spiders themselves are
not hard to kill, but it seems almost impos-
sible to destroy the eggs. The insects null
tiply very rapidly. L have tried Paris
green and patented wash on the trees, but
the stuff did not affect the eggs, for they
Matched just the same. 1 tried lime water
a few days, and that seemed to kill some of
the eggs, but 1 was afraid of getting the
mixture too strong and injuring the trees.
Spiders are the natural enemy of almond trees
but out our way they seem to attack every
thing. They are even destroying the pea
nut vines of q neighbor of mine. / have 90
acres of almonds that they have already

Los ANGELES, CAL, Sept Con Sum-
day Miss Rillie Lee, a daughter of wealthy
parents expected to be Mrs. Rillie Vaughn
the next morning. The wedding was set for II
o'clock Monday, but at the appointed time
the bridegroom failed to appear. The we'd
ding was postponed one hour. It appears
there were two young men who wanted to
marry Miss Lee. Dick Vaughn was rich,
and managed to win the consent of Miss
Lee, while Dick Elliott was poor and fol-
lowed the unlovely occupation Of a grave
digger at Evergreen Cemetery.
1t is possible that Elliott stood best in
Miss Lees heart, but circumstances decided
in favor of Vaughn. Mrs. Vaughn, how
ever, did not approve her sons marriage
and sent q letter to the bride, waiting in her
bridal robes, that her son would not be
there The sister of the bride took the
next car for Evergreen Cemetery. She
found Elliott digging a grave She
told him that the field was clear.
Dick went home and soon emerged in
his best suit. When he called at the home
of Miss Lee there were cries of "Dick!"
"Rilliel" and the next minute the two low
ers were locked in each others arms. 81
nearly made an awful mistake" sobbed the
bride Dick kissed away the tears, and it
was arranged that the graveidgger and
heiress should be married at 8 o'clock. The
ceremony took place then but the romance
has lust leaked out.

Down on Buck,

A writer for the New York Sun wants Buck
Ewing deposed from the captaincy. He says:
at Is absolutely necessary that some meas
urcs be taken at once to solidify the team
and bring its full strength to bear for the re-
mainder of the season. What shall that
action be, and how can the members of the
team be lmbued with new interest in the
welfare OF the club? 1t can only be ao-
complished by taking the responsibility and
care from the shoulders of Buck Ewing and
placing it in the hands of the men. Ewing
is unable to play ball, and his generalship
eXerted from the bench is futile. Therefore,
let Buck Ewing resi- gn the captaincy of the
team and go home to Cincinnati until such
time as the condition of his arm warran is
him rejoining the team, and 1et the response
Dility rest where it belongs. Let the players
next select from their number one who Is to
act as field captain. and let them hereafter
play for the pennant Only. let 1t be under
stood that whoever is chosen as captain
must be endowed with the fullest power, and
let the others agree to obey his every CON-
mand. This appears to be the only solution
OF the difficulty. The management cannot
afford to overlook the seriousness of the
situation, and pr mpt, decisive action must
be taken if hopes are entertained of winning
the pennantn

AMERICANS INsULTED

In the Grossest Manner by Hot-Blooded
Chileans in Paris Cafes.
PARIS, Sept 6.-Chileans of wealth and
distinction are very numerous in this city
and since the reception of the news from
Valparaiso they have taken to insulting
Americans, whom, in their ignorance, they
suppose to be protectors Of Balmaceda
Last night at the Cafe de la Paix there
was serious trouble between two Americans
who were yassing the evening there and
three Chileans, who provoked the Ameri-
cans, and repeatedly offered them the gross
est insults The manager of the cafe, as
sisted by a number of customers, interfered
when the first two blows were struck, where
upon the combatants exchanged cards, with
view to possible duels.
A similar assault took place on Wednes-
day at the Cafe des Ambassadors, when a
certain well-known Chilean baron insulted
in the grossest manner New Yorker, who
was quietly dining with his wife at one of
the tables. In this case the police inter-
tered, and the baron is somewhat crestfallen
at learning that he is to be prosecuted.

An English Defaulting Cashier Is Arrested
in Detroit.
DETROIT, MICH, Sept. 6.-Sidney Olds,
alias Samuel Owen, an alleged English en-
bezzler, was arrested last night by Detec-
tives Myler and Tuttle.' Olds is wanted
at Newcastle-on-Tyne on the charge of
embezzling from Fesher & Remyck,
shipbuilders and contractors at that
place, for whom he was secre-
tary and treasurer. He left England
about June 20 and arrived in this country
about July 1. Inspector Byrnes, of New
York City, was notified by the English po-
West July g. He arrived in this city two
weeks ago from Chicago, and has since been
stopping at the Normandle, at which hotel
the arrest was made. Olds denied his iden-
tity, but the production of a descriptive cir
cular and photograph brought an admis-
sion that he was the mar, Olds breaking
down and shedding tears. The prisoner is
40 years of age, about 5 feet inches in
height, and weighs 40 pounds. He has a
mother, wife and children living in Eng
land. 1t is said that he succeeded in getting
away with $4,000. Since coming to this
country he has speculated largely in wheat.
An officer, in answer to telegram, is ex-
pected tomorrow with the necessary papers
for the return of the prisoner to New York
and thence to England.
A dispatch from New York says: A dis
patch was received at police headquarters
here to-day stating that Sidney Olds, alias
Samuel Owen, who is accused of embezzling
e5, 900 from Fesher, Remyck & Co., of New
England, in June last, had
been arrested at the Hotel Normandie, De-
troit, Mich. Inspector Stocker, of New
Tyne, who has been here for some
time, left for Detroit on receipt of the
news. He has requisition papers asking
for Olds' return to England.

A MINISTER IN TROUBLE.
Sued for Ma rrying Couple, the Girl Being
Under 1S, as Alleged.


CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 6.-Suit was insti-
tuted by Joseph G. Ray against Rev. Charles
D. Sinkinson, pastor of the Memorial NJ. P.
Church, for an alleged violation of the mar
riage laws of the State. Judge Howard
,Carrow represents Ray in this action, and
the papers declare that Mr.. Sinkinson
violated the law on June %, when he united
in marriage Rays daughter to John F.
Stretch, and her father declares she
was not vet 18 years of age. The
minister had no authority from him to
marry the girl and did not have her oath
that she was of proper age. All parties to
this suit are residents of South Camden, and
the girls friends claim the suit is brought
by her father as a piece of spite work.
Ray claims $1,000 from Mr.. Sinkinson,
which is the penalty allowed by law for
such violation, and half of the money
goes to the informant and the remainder
to the State The action is a civil one
and will probably be tried at the next
term of court, which opens in about
a month. The decision in the case in no
way affects the marriage of the young
people That stands no matter what the
outcome of the suit is Mr.. and Mrs
Stretch, however, will very probably stand
by Pastor Sinkinson, and members of his
flock will still hold mistaken confidence in
him

IRISH LEAGUE FIGHT.
No Delegates Will Be Sent From the
Philadelphia Branches
TO THE FITZGERALD CONVENTION.
A Big Revolt Among the Members Of the
Organization There.
GOING WITH THE IRISH FEDERATION
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO rzr n,sp,-cu,

rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcH.I
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-The officers of
the Irish National League of this city, at q
conference meeting, ignored President Fitz-
gerald's circular calling for a national con-
vention to be held in Chicago, on October 1.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, in his circular, stated that
there was never time when a convention
of Irish organizations was as much needed
as at present. Parliament may soon be dis
solved and the Irish representatives need
moral and financial aid in order to bring
about home rule for Ireland Any Irish
society, he says, contributing SIS or up
ward to the cause of home rule is entitled
to send delegates to the convention.
Among the reasons assigned by the Irish
leaders of this city for ignoring Fitzgerald's s
call are, first, that the time has not yet come
for convention until the Irish leaders on
the other side are united. And secondly,
the local leaders here believe that it is
plan of Fitzgerald's and Alexander Sulli-
vans to have the convention held in
Chicago, in order to have themselves
elected to Offices A convention has been
twice called for before, first at Philadelphia
and then at Baltimore, and Fitzgerald was
the cause Of. having both postponed.
John OCallahan, Secretary of the NUM-
cipal Council of the Irish National, said to-
day that not one Of the 4S branches of the
Irish National League in this city would
send delegate to Fitzgerald's convention.
There is, he added, very little funds coming
in at present, and many of the branches
have disbanded altogether, yet believe Mr..
Sutton is drawing his s., 800 year as Secre-
tary of the LeDgue in this country
AT meeting, Of the General Corcoran
Branch of the Irish National League in
Philopatrian Hall this afternoon it was re-
solved to withdraw from the Irish National
Leagne and affiliate with the Irish Fedora
tion of America, of which DIR. Thomas Ad-
dis Emmett is President and Eugene Kelly
Treasurer. Hugh McCaffrey, Vice Presi-
dent of the Irish League of America, de-
livered a long address in praise of the new
organization, which he declared is COM
posed of some of the leading Irish
citizens and business men of New
York City. Those are the kind
of men, he said, we want. Men who
will join the organization for no personal or
ambitious motives, but simply for the cause
of down-trodden people. Eugene Kelly,
he concluded, has been one of Ireland's best
friends. Addresses were also delivered by
P. McFadden, Thomas McFadden, C. Nc
Cam and number of others.
The General Corcoran Branch was the old
est and most influential in Philadelphia 1t
was formerly known as the Parnell Branch,
but changed its name about two months ago
at the close of the Parnell-O'Shea suit. 1t
was also stated that the other branches at
their next regular meeting would affiliate
with the Irish Federation.

CUT HIS FRIENDS THROAT.
Serious End OF Dispute Between Posey
County, Ind, Farmers.

Serious End Of Dispute Between Posey
County, Ind, Farmers.
EVANSVILLE, IND, Sept. 6.-Yesterday
afternoon serious cutting affray occurred
about midway between this city and Mount
Vernon between John Carter, lately
moved in Posey county from Ken
lucky, and George Barrough. Early
in the summer Carter and Barrough had
a dispute while working with thresher.
Yesterday they came to Evansville from the
country with friend named Chissler and
all drank quite freely. While returning
home Carter renewed the dispute, but Bar
rough refused to discuss matters and asked
that they remain friends, as their difference
of opinion was over a trivial matter.
Carter, who is rated as a desperate man
in his neighborhood, having failed to en-
broil Barrough, grew desperate, and reach
ing up, caught him by the hair of the head,
threw him back and cut q great cash in his
neck with large pocket knife. When
the enormity of his crime dawned
upon him, Carter leaped from the
wagon and disappeared in the woods and
a searching party discovered him at West
Franklin, river landing, ready to escape
to the Kentucky shore. He was Jailed at
Mount Vernon, Barrough was taken to
the nearest physician and given immediate
attention. He was very weak from loss of
blood, and at last accounts was reported
dyidg.

Papers Believe Peace Assured.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 6.-Newspapers
here express confidence that, in view of the
entente cordiale between France and Rus
sia, the powers will hesitate against Tur-

while Turkey, strengthened with the knowl-
edge that the Franco Russian entente is
counterpoise to the Driebund, will not be
easily intimidated. Thus the papers believe
peace is assured.

rendered bankrupt by them any more than
it would be made bankrupt by refraining
from them, or is made solvent by their
adoption. Only, it entertains me to see how
the Secretary Of the Treasury, being poll
tician and knowing how people are. IN
fluenced by appearances, has contriyed to
show cash balance in his possession OF
$3.50, 900, 600 or S160, ,000, 900, whereas, II ne
had stuck to the methods of his Democratic
predecessors, he would have to acknowledge
a large deficit.
How much sentiment controls the stock
market, and how prices go up and down, not
according to intrinsic values, but according
to the temper and whims of the public, l.
have before this pointed out. Indeed, when
l consider the vagaries of Wall street am
sometimes puzzled to decide whether l my
self am crazy, or whether other people are,
so radically contrary are my views from
those which prevail for the moment with
the great majority, and l am inclined to
agree with that sect of philosophers which
holds that nothing in the world is real, but
that everything is imagination and illusion.
TREATMENT OF IDEAS.
1t is plain that it is not the eye which
sees, nor the ear which hears, nor the tongue
which tastes, but that it is the mind behind
these organs which interprets the impress
sions made upon them into sensible ideas.
Whether now, ideas produced from within
by the Imagination are not entitled to be
treated as of the Same value as those pro-
duced from without by external agencies, is
question about which two opinions may
be reasonably entertained, and 1 am not
going to say, therefore, that sentiment in
finance is not factor which deserves to be
taken into account as seriously as any other.
We cannot see the wind, but a hurricane
is not on that account less destructive; heat
cannot be weighed in the hand, but it is a
potent element in nature, while, as to that
most subtle of all forces, electricity. it
battles all analysis Judged by its effects,
sentiment equally deserves recognition, and
the problem for the practical business man
is to decide how much Importance he shall
