REVIVAL SERVICES.
The United Presbyterians Are Taking
a New Departure.
SUCCESSFUL EvANGELISTIC MOVE.
Churches Moving Against the Enemy All
Along the Line.
SUBJECTS FOR SUNDAY SERVICES

There are in Pittsburg and Allegheny
over 20 United Presbyterian Churches.
This is the Jerusalem of this denomination,
its strength being greater here than any
where else in the land. In Allegheny there
are half dozen U. P. churches, averaging
600 in membership. 1t is one OF the signs
of the times that the churches OF this de-
nomination, which have been noted for
their conservatism and old staid ways. are
leading in revival movements. The AL
legheny U. P. churches have, since the
first of the year. under the leadership
of Major Whittle. the noted evangelist,
been holding series of revival services
which have been attended with marked
success. One evening this week, GO persons
stood up for prayers, and it is now certain
that the strong churches of this denomina-
ton will be greatly strengthened as result
OF these revival efforts. The East Eud U.
P. Church will receive an accession of 100
as result of special efforts conducted by their
new pastor. Rev. r. NJ. Russell.
Mrs. W. +. Crafts, of New York. well known
as one of the most prominent leaders in pri-
mary work, desires to meet primary teachers
of all the Sabbath schools Immediately at the
close of DR.. Reid's class at the Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms this Saturday at noon. 1t is hoped all
primary teachers and assistants will be present.

THE FARMERS FRIEND.
Cute Little Insect that Kills the
Hessian Fly.

Cute Little Insect that Kills the
Hessian Fly.
CHAMPAIGN, Ills, July 11.-Early last
spring Professor Forbes, state entomolo-
gist, received from the Smithsonian in
stitution, at Washington, a few of the
larvae of parasite supposed to be de-
structive to the Hessian fly. This para
site is found only in Europe. He under
took to experiment to prove whether
these larvae are destructive to the fly
here, and if so, to what degree. In order
to determine this small patch of wheat
about yard square was inclosed in a
box, arranged so that the grain could
have light and air to grow. A consider
able number of Hessian flies and the
Larvae mentioned were put in and the
box so closed that they couldn't escape
and other insects get in, and thus the
experiment begun.
The Larvae have Matched and are -four
ishing. They are almost microscopical
and seem to have been created solely to
prey upon the Hessian fly. The parasite
is neatly formed, wasp-shaped little
mite, supplied with a sharp sting or
auger. With unerring instinct it finds
the place where the fly has laid its egg
under the husk of the straw, and boring
down into it the parasite lays its egg in
side the egg of the fly. There it devel-
ops into grub, consuming the egg of
the fly and destroying it.
This is in outline what has been proved
by the experiment made. The parasite
was first discovered committing its dep
relations upon the Hessian fly in the
wheat fields of southern Europe.

The Attorney General Called on to Inter-
pret the Chinese Law.
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Assistant Sec
retary Spaulding has instructed the col
lector of customs at Port Huron, Mich.
in the case of a Chinaman arrested there
for illegal entry to send him to San
Francisco for deportation to China. A
controversy has arisen between the treas
ury department and certain United
States commissioners at Detroit and Sus-
pension Bridge, N. Y, as to the dispo-
sition to be made of Cinnamon convicted
of being illegally in the United States.
The law says they shall be returned to
the country whence they came"
The department holds that this means
that they shall be sent to China, not
withstanding they may have entered the
United States from Canada or other con-
tiguous territory. The commissioners
in the cities named have recently, in
cases where it was proved that the Chi
namen were smuggled in through Can
ada, ordered their return to Canada de-
spite the protestation of Assistant Secre-
tary Spaulding that they should have
been sent to San Francisco for deporta-
ton to China. The question has been
referred to Attorney General Miller for
an opinion.
