Trouble and Dissipation Cause Ed
Kilday to Become Insane.
Two unfortunates were examined yes
terday before the Commissioners of Insan-
ity and adiudged insane. One was Edward
A. Kilday, the well-known theatrical N an
and advance agent. He was committed to
the Agnews Asylum. Domestic trouble
and dissipation caused his mind to become
unbalanced. While clerk in the new
City Hall Kilday married the only daugh-
ter OF Louis Holtz shortly after the latter
was elected Assessor. The marriage was
an unhappy one and wound up with d.
vOrce in San Mateo County. Since then
his former wife has been married several
times aud created considerable scandal in
Oakland. After the divorce Kilday en-
gagged in the theatrical business and
worked as assistant treasurer in nearly all
of the local theaters. His last employ
ment was as advance agent for Joseph
Grismer. Kiday Is only 80 years old, but
dissipation has caused him to become a
total wreck. He now imagines that he is
very rich and at times is violent.
Mrs. Christina Beuhn was committed to
the Napa Asylum. She is very violent,
neglects her children and at night talks to
the planets.

Grasshopper Pest in Alabama.

ADMISSION, Ala. July 3l.-Grasshoppers
have appeared in great numbers IN Chocco-
locco Valley, five miles southeast of this
place. Corn, cotton, grasses, vegetables and
every green thing have been destroyed on
many farms, and even trees and shrubbery
are not spared. The leaves are eaten off and
the trees left perfectly bare.
On the Grassmere farm of Capt. /. Il.
Bush probably the most damage has been
done. The growing crops on his farm have
been totally ruined Cotton leaves, bolls
and in some instances young stalks have been
devoured by the pests, and corn has Jared no
better.
The fodder blades and shucks from around
the ear have all succumbed TO the grasshop-
pers. They attacked three acre field of
clover Thursday and to-ay the field reminds
one of the dead of winter, as not trace of
vegetation is TO be seen. Gardens in the in
tested neighborhood are a complete wreck.
Bush's farm is but little worse than many
others, and unless something is done to kill
out the insects all the crops in the valley will
be totally ruined.
The grasshoppers are the usual variety
green in color and about u inches long.
Strenuous efforts are being made to kill them
out. Piles of dry straw are placed in the in
tested fields and the insects driven into them
and then the whole set on fire, but the num-
Der does not seem to decrease at all. Squads
of men on the infested farms are working
day and night t, annihilate the little pests,
for unless something is done to gel rid OF
them the work of the farmers for the year
will have amounted to naught.

hibitors, appeared before the national COM
mission last Saturday by appointment of the
domestic exhibitors, foreign and State com
missioners and chiefs of departments The
director general and all his chiefs were there.
Major Panghorn started out by accusing the
administration of the fair of making an arch
itectural picture but not Worlds Fair. He
denounced the management for not providing
easy. numerous and visible entrances to the
galleries. He declared that the foreign
nations were brought into competition with
s'that oonglomeration Of fakes on the Midway
Plaisance, with the dancing girls in the
street of Cairo, 'Ithe scum of the broihels of
the Orient He accused the restaurant
owners of employing as walters the sliekest
gang of thieves ever inside gates. He cited
several cases of extortion and robbery prac-
ticed on himself and others. The visitors
were being robbed every hour, he said, and
the fair was as yet financial failure.
Director. General Davis replied in behalf
of the exposition management He said if
the exhibitors had such grievance as those
of which Mr. Panghoru spoke they should
have formulated them and sent them either
to him or the council of administration. The
exposition company was anxious to please
the exhibitors and would do all it could. He
referred to the bad treatment the fair was
receiving at the hands of the railways, and
said those corporations had not shown the
fair as much consideration as was accorded
to the average county fair or agricultural
show.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 3l.-0fiicial returns

increase in the ravages of cholera in the
parts of the empire where the disease is epi-
demic. The figures show that from July 8 to
July - there were in the government Of

The Path of Safety.

Repeal the purchasing clause of the So
called Sherman act.
Authorize the issue by national banks of
circulation up to par of the United States
bonds deposited with the Treasury to secure
the same.
Issue no United States notes Of less de-
nomination than five dollars.-N. T. Sun.
The repeal of the purchaing clause of
the Sherman act would stop the purchase
of silver, and the authorization of banks to
issue money up to par of the United States
bonds deposited with the Treasury to Sc
cure the same would only add some fifteen
millions to the volume of the currency.
But does not the New York luminary see
that such legislation will add to the gains
of capital without any act on its part ?
The trouble all the time has been that our
legislation has been toward the benefit of
the moneyed class and against the people.
Under the banking law, with this change,
if ten men put up $40, 900 each and start
bank, the government in reality pays
them three or four per cent. interest an
nually on the capital stock for going into
the banking business. With the $780,
900 contributed they buy 100000 in
government bonds The government holds
the bonds, pays interest to the bank semi
annually aud gives the bank 100000 in
notes to do business on. The ten bank
stockholders have back the 100000 they
contributed, and draw the interest on the
bonds as gratuity from the government.
The interest comes from the people, and
one class is thus taxed to benefit the other.
The action proposed by the Sun would
give capital fifteen millions of dollars more
to be loaned out to the people at six per
cent interest or more.

The Price of Pork.

On Tuesday pork fell from $40 per
barrel to 80, decline of SO per barrel.
The market had been bulled for some time
by single operator. He has had TO buy
considerable quantity recently at the
high figures, but he could no longer main
tain the acorner, and his failure followed.
His loss is something like S540,000.
Pandemonium reigned in the pork pit in the
Board of Trade, and number Of failures
were announced. The decline of 50 a
barrel occurred in half an hour A reac-
ton followed, and prices went up to sll 70
per barrel.
Pork has b cen unusually high for some
time, and all ow ing to speculation, or gam
bling, but one Of the singular facts about
the matter is, leading New York paper
several months ago endeavored to explain
the high price Of pork from natural condi-
tions. The conditions are all unnatural,
and due TO gambling. When the corner
failed the true facts came out.
The low price Of wheat, we have no
Doubt. is due to conspiracy to bear the
market.
