Coiored Men

Much comment has been oceasi0ned

crease hts been due to the importation
into the metropolis of negroes from the
South by contractors upon great public
works. But, strange, as. it may seem,
the experiment has failed. because the
.colored men refuse to ACCEPT wages as
low.as those paid, TO many white men,
and they have insisted Upon forming
u labor union. Serious trouble was
caused bv an attempt to make them
share the quarters of the whites in the
camps. The colored men refused ito
do this. They declared that they
would, under no circums 81 ances. sleep

FIRST FIGHT IN MAINE.
Free -siIverites Propose to Fill That
State With Orators.

CHICAGO. H., July 13-The first great
fight Of the democratic campaign will be
made in Maine, the home of general Sewall,
the vice-presidential candidate. Mr.. Sewall
has a son. Harold. former consul-general to
Samoa. who used TO think he was a demo-
crat. but who is now full-hedged and de-
voted republican, having tended the st,
Louis convention as delegate.
There is a good deal of free silver senti-
ment down in Maine, so they say. The old
creeubackers had everything their own way
there for few years, and there are a lot of
them left. Bryan and Sewall believe Milli-
kan's and possibly Boutelle's congressional
districts can be carried for free silver. They
have normally about 5000 republican ma
ioritv each. In the last Congressional elec-
ton the republican majority was over 10, 600
in each.
Next septemb it is proposed to fill the
state OF Maine with orators, free silver liter
ature and wind. with the expectation that a
material reduction Of the republican ma
iority will have a good effect on the silver
campaign in other parts Of the country.

FIGHTS THE ARMY WORM.
Poison and Fire Used by Connecti-
cut Man 10 Exterminate the Pest.

NORWALh. CT. July I3-There j. great
excitement on Beiden Hill because Of the
rayages Of the &rmy worm. Two or three
weeks ago a field On the Julian Gregory
place was sUwn with Hungarian grass seed
and it had developed finely until THURSDAY.
when the army worm made it, appearance
il immense numbers. and attacked the
growing grass, oats and fodder corn.
They appeared to start from a point
spread out to about twenty feet il width.
and then marched forward destroying
everything before them until twentv-f0ot
strip was entirely bare Of vegetation and a.
DRY and dusty as the street. The worms
We're deluged with arsenical mixtures with
out the slightest perceptihie result. Land
rollers were tried and run hack and forth
until it would seem that not worm could
survive. Millions were destroyed, but their
were kindled and the crops Were burned he.
fore and on both sides Of them. but thev
continued on their devastating course. Il
seemed as though millions more came from
an unknown somewhere to take the place Of
the millions that were destroyed.
Fortunately for the neighboring farmers
the Gregory place Is owned by man ot
energy and resources and he is determined
TO try a heroic remedy. Many tons OF oats
straw were scattered over the field where
the worms were until the ground was well
covered. The straw was then saturated
with kerosene oil and tonight fierce fires
are burning the destroying worms.
