NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 1891. !
Nc dear Mr.. BatteU;-Iou must
pardon this rather late personal acknow-
Judgement of the receipt of your book,
which was done earlier in the Turf,
Field and Farm of last week, and at moIe
length this week, although | do not feel
that have yet taken time to examine it
critically. 1t is easy to see, however,
that it represents an immense amount of
intelligent and conscientious work, for
which fear that you will never get
your reward in what we ordinarily con-
sidered "substantial" returns, but it will
give you an enduring. fame. As text
book it will be of great use to me.
Sincerely yours,
WALTER Il. CHESTER.

Thieves Break Through and Steal Money
and VsiuAbles.
F. Endel, OF the Hotel de Strasbourg
on Alameda and Ducommun streets,
mourns the loss of $3.50 in cash and
gold watch valued at about $25. which
were gathered in by clever sneak thief
last night.
Mr.. Endel retired about 1880 and
was awakened an hour later by one of
his dodgers tapping on the window of
his room. He rose to admit the lodger
and show him to his room, when he
discovered that his clothes had been
disturbed since he doffed them and that
his keys were missing. A little search
revealed the fact that little window at
the head of the stairs had been opened
and that someone had crawled through
1t into his room or had reached through
and opened the chamber door from the
inside.
Mr.. Endel promptly sought to dis
cover the condition OF jewel box in
the closet OF the room, finding it un-
locked and rifed of its contents, the
money above referred to.
Tho matter was reported to police
headquarters and Detective Bosqui de-
tailed to work up the case, but ss the
thief left no clue there seems little hope
of catching him unless he attempts to
sell or pawn the watch.

The District and Los Angeles' Vote.
EDITORS HERALD There ia great
misconcsption as to the strength of par
ties OF the present moment. Unques-
tionably the Populists have gained
largely in the state and are doing so
steadily. The open corruption and
bribery in San Francisco not only has
DESTROYED Democratic chances there,
but the masses are disgusted elsewhere
and unwilling to follow in the lead OF
Buckley, Rainey and Burns. On the
other hand, the well managed canvass
of Mr.. Budd, and his magnetic speeches.
are keeping the Democrats wonderfully
in line.
Mr.. Webster at the present writing
would poll about 60,500 votes. The
very active Canvass of the Populists will
no doubt considerably increase that
vote.
In this county the energetic canvass
all along the line by the Populists tends
to bring out all their vote, and make
accessions steadily, of which the pro.
portion is about ak Republicans to four
Democrats.
Webster's vote, and that Of the county
nominees not endorsed by Democrats,
will average 7,0S6; Budd and regular
Democratic nominees, 8,119; Estee and
regular Republican nominees, 10,400;
Prohibition candidates. 170O; total,
27, ,305.
In larger poll, the Republicans will
receive two votes to one divided between
the Populists and Democrats.
Mr.. Bower, for district attorney, will
poll IA, 600 to Mr.. DonnelPs l1,000.
Mr.. Hainss, for treasurer, will receive
14000. Street, for surveyor, the same.
Seaman and Bartholomew will be elected.
The latter expects to get 1900 majority.
The race between Hutchison and
Riley, for school superintendent, will be
cloee.
In the congressional district Bowman
is gaining everywhere. Today the vote
approximates MoLachlsn. IL, 100; Pst-
ton, 12,9l9 Bowman, 1876. BOWMAN
will probably run into second place.

NEGROES IN THE DISTRICT.
They Want the Suffrage Restored Because
They Charge Discrimination.

They Want the Suffrage Restored Because
They Charge Discrimination.
At the next session of congress mon
ster petition will be presented by Repre-
sentative Murray of South Carolina, the
only colore man in either house, pray
ing for the restoration of the rights Of
political suffrage in the District of Co.
lumbia. 1t will be signed by a majori-
ty of the negroes of the District, headed
by Frederick Douglass and ex-senator
Bruce. This move grows out of the re-
fusal of the commissioners Of the Dis
trict to appoint colored man as one of
the members Of the board Of assessors
recently created by act Of congress. The
colored men had an applicant in the
person of Daniel A. Murray, an assist
ant in the congressional library and a
member of the board of trade. Frederick
Douglass especially interested himself in
behalf of Mr.. Murray, but the board re-
fused to appoint him. The colored peo-
pie made q stubborn fight for the assess
orship, and now that that has been de-
MED them no offices are left, and they
propose to memorialize congress for the
restoration Of the right of suffrage in
the District.
When the suffrage was in vogue in
the District, the negroes were an impor-
tant factor in the government, and a
part of the patronage was accorded
them. There was negro assistant dis
trict attorney, tax registrar and d city
marshal, and other lucrative Offices
were filed by them. But with abolition
of the right of suffrage they have been
cut off one by one until the assessorship
was the only place filed by negro.
Now even that has been taken away.
Frederick Douglass says that the gov
ernment of the District is an oligarchy,
and it is wonder to him that the peo-
pie have tolerated it as long as they
have. Under its present form of gov
ernment he thinks it impossible for the
So, colored people to get any civil
or political recognition. He says the
trend is now against the negro, but
that reaction will speedily set in.
The sentiments of Mr.. Douglass are
Endorsed by other prominent colored
citizens of the District, who say that if
they are not successful in their move
they will at least let the world know
they feel keenly the discrimination Oh
account of color in the government OF
the District. The pastors of all the To-
cal churches are in favor Of the move
ment, and the petitions will be placed
at the several churches from Sunday to
Sunday for signatures. - Washington

SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTS.
Interesting Account of Some of Their Do
ings During Their Late Visit.

Interesting Account of Some of Their Do
ings During Their Late Visit.
The II year locusts, about which the
newspapers printed SO many articles
during the early part of the summer,
have come and gone, but their united
labors have left quite an impress upon
the forest scenery. III many places about
New York the oaks and other trees ex-
hibit great many broken branches, the
leaves of which have withered, and as
consequence the woodland scenes show
in checkered spots a late autumnal
brown.
In old times, before the advent of the
white man with his ak, no doubt this
periodical pruning of the forest did not
do any harm, but i'll these later days,
when the locusts extend their attentions
to everything that has largo enough
stem TO contain their eggs-to the peach,
the pear and the apple trees, to the cur
rant and gooseberTy bushes-his estimate
of their wide utility is lost i'll his consid
Grafton of the orchard that has already
been pruned.
The eggs of the locusts were found
this summer in over 10 kinds Of trees,
bushes and herbaceous plants Indeed
the females tried their ovipositors on
everything that came in their way, Of
ten apparently by way Of experiment
The distribution Of the loousts into
colonies was interesting. They oocu-
pied by the million many hills and
patches Of woodland that seemed to
differ in no respect from neighboring
tracts where they were not so numerous.
In one Of these colonies on Staten Island
the ground about the tree trunks was
SO covered by the pupa shells that it
was in places completely hidden, and
as the season wore on the dead locusts
had to be raked up, as they gave forth
an unpleasant odor. At dusk the sound
of the many insects crawling from the
ground up the tree trunks was quite au-
dible-a constant tramping-and par
ticularly vigorous pup@ sometimes as
cended the trees to height of 80 feet.
The severe storm that prevailed in
the latter part of May killed and deform-
ed many locusts just then emerging
from tho ground and also damaged the
young leaves on the easterly sides of
exposed trees. In point Of reputation
this storm also did the locusts harm, for
it was no uncommon matter to hear
them accused of causing the withered
condition of the leaves, even before
they had commenced to lay any eggs.

had been left burning in the sleeping
apartment of little Gertrude, and the

lamp burning mass and the room full

thrown through an open window and
the child hastily removed before any
harm reached her.
The annual county fair was held ct
Husneme last week. The dry weather

1t proved, however. to be one of the

furnishing many surprises to even the
