MITCHELL OUSTED.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 2.-The supreme
court this morning decided the case OF the
state against William NJ, Mitchell, Of the
railway commission, ousting him from
office. When the populists took posses
sion of the state government they decided
that the tenure OF office of the railway
commission depended upon the will of the
executive council. The council removed
Mrssrs. Anthony and Mitchell aud ap-
pointed in their places Messrs. Vincent
and Hail. a populist and a fusion Demo-
crat, respectively. Messrs. Anthony and
Mitchell refused to relinquish ;heir offices,
claiming that their commissions ran for
three years from the date of appointment,
and that they could not be removed arbl-
trarily. The Case went TO the supreme
court in proceedings in custer. The court
today handed down decision interpret
ing the law according to the populist
claim and entered judgment of custer
against Mr. Mitchell. The Mitchell case
is precedent and Mr.. Anthony will
probably submit to it, leaving the railway
commission in full control of the popu-
lists.

J. ELLEN BARRED.

LONDON, May lady Biddulph and
Miss Decker of the British Woman's Tenn
perance association were today questioned
in regard 20 the report that Mrs. j. Ellen
Foster, the noted American Temperance g
advocate, was coming here to take part in
the coming convention OF the ASSOCIATION.
Lady Biddulph warmly declared that Mrs.
Foster would not be allowed to speak in
the convention should she make her ap-
pearance.
Miss Decker said that the convention
would be private. The chief question
considered would be whether Lady Henry
Somerset should be allowed TO introduce
politics into the work of the association.
1t was intended to oppose Lady Somerset
The question also would be considered
whether the association would reaffliate
with the American branch headed by Miss
Frances +. Willard.
The ladies of the association are said to
be excited over the prospect of the appear
ance of Mrs. Fosters delegation in the
convention.
Lady Somerset said, In ali interview re-
gsrding the attitude of herself and her
supporters: while abiding Loyalty by
the old program Of total abstinence. we
adopt sobjects Iequally vital 10 the inter
ests of women. The purity question is
one with temperance, and suffrage for
women is essential TO the triumph of
both. The en- 'argement of the platform
will give the association a political aspect
distssteful to many: but nowadays it is
almost qualification to stand outside of
politics. 1t is true that | have found use
ful precedents in America, but there is
no shame in learning from America. Our
body owes its origin to the Woman's
Christian Temperance union. / do not
deny the charge which have referred to;
] am only its spokesman. Thousands Of
energetic women are determined TO make
the association fighting body"

AN INTELLIGENT BEETLE.
Would Come at the Sound of Its Captor
Voice and CareSs Her.


Voice and Caress Her.
Something over year since young
lady of my acquaintance, says writer
in Science, had an experience with a
beetle which l think showed a very
marked degree of intelligence in the
insect, and as such instances are some
what rare l venture to send you an ac-
count of it.
This beetle was a specimen of Pelid-
nota punctata Linn, which was given
to her in September. At first she kept
it in small box, feeding it with grass,
leaves and small pieces of fruits, such
as peaches, pears, etc. Occasionally
she would give it a drop OF water to
sip. 1t would sometimes bite little
out OF leaf, would eat the fruits and
would take water eagerly.
From the first she would take the in
sect in her fingers several times day
and stroke or caress it, also putting it
to her lips and talking to it ali the
while she handled it. When she put it
on her lips it would brush its antenn8
over them with gentle, caressing mo-
ton.
When she left her room she would
shut the 'buggie" up in its box. One
day about two weeks after she re-
ceived it she was called out suddenly
and neglected this precaution. She
was absent considerable length of
time, and when she returned the in
sect was not in its box or anywhere to
be seen. Fearing that she might in
jure it she stood still and called:
''Buggie! buggier when it came crawl
ing from its retreat toward her.
After this she would frequently leave
it free in the room when she went out,
and when she returned, if the insect
was not in sight, she would call it and
it would crawl or fly to her. AS this
was continued it would more and more
frequently fly to her instead of crawl
ing, until at last it flew nearly
every time it was called. When it
came in this way she would put it to
her lips or to her nose, and the insect
would appear TO be pleased, moving its
sntenne gently over her lips or taking
the end of her nose between them and
touching it with patting motion.
She kept it in her room in this way,
at the hotel where she was spending
the summer, until about the 1st of No
vember. She then returned to her
home, some three hundred miles fur
ther south, taking the insect with her.
Here she at first kept it in her cham
ber, but the nights being sometimes
very cool it would become torpid, and
not get lively again until afternoon.
Thinking it too cool for "buggie" there
she removed it to the kitchen. AS it
still appeared more or less dormant
she put it on a cloth above the hot
water boiler. Here it revived some
what, but was not very lively, nor did
it eat very much.
About the middle of December it fell
to the floor accidentally, by which fall
it was evidently injured, as after that
time it would eat nothing, and no
longer recognized the young lady.
About week later it died.
