Miss Rose Kingsley gave the second OF
her course of art lectures last evening and
she spoke OF the Democratic Painters OF
France" She referred particularly to those
painters who 4ave made their reputation

France. The speaker gave them the name

LEECHES ON RAILWAYS
THE RELATIONS OF THE RAILROADS

The large stockholders of some Of the rail-
way systems are desirous OF obtaining in
formation as TO the relations Of the Star
Union line, the Empire line, the Blue line
and other similar fast freight lines to the
railroad companies-that is, whether they
are -subcompanies related or connected with
certain railroad companies and receiving
special rates from the latter, practically re-
cefving as their profit an amount which
otherwise would go to swell the earnings Of
a road and in turn benefit the railway
stockholders. The United States Investor
contain an article on this topic. in which
ii says: These fast freight lines are owned
by a few OF the officers and directors OF the
railroad companies upon whose systems they
operate. There are, however, a few excep-
lions. AS a rule, the transportation compan-
les pay the railroad companies a certain
mileage for the privilege Of carrying on
their business. This mileage is much lower
than 1t ought to be- The lower the mileage
the greater are the profits Of the fast freight
lines. Under such an arrangement 1T can
be easily seen that the officers OF the rail-
road companies receive profits which would
otherwise go to the railroad itself. 1t is a
milking process, pure and simple, and one
which ought not to be tolerated The off,

for fixing special fares. This ruling applies
to all future meetings for which fares have

The band and bicycle social was
a success financially, however
there were several reasons which
operated against the carrying out
of the full program as advertised.
Owing to delays, over which those
having charge of the social had no
control and for which they
were in no way TO blame, the
street parade did not start in time
to allow the racing to be done by
daylight as intended. The street
parade would have been up to the
fullest expectations, had it not
been for the large mum Der of teams
both in front OF the band and be-
hind, which so effectually blocked
the street that riding was impos-
sible. The band boys and the
bicyclists thank the people heart
lily for turning out so literally to
patronize them, but the vast as
sembly was so unexpected that
they were lily prepared to enter
tain them, however, the best was
done under the circumstances and
it is to be trusted that all imper-
fections will be excused until OPP
portunity affords a chance to make
good all defects. The concert,
consisting of piano solos, songs,
solos and recItations, was splendid
and merited the applause of all.
The speech by Hon. A. P. Weld
was interesting. Mr.. Weld also
rendered valuable services by TAX
ing charge of the concert. The
music by the band was excellent.
Miss Lulu Fortune pleased the audi
fence with piano solo which was
followed by a recitation by Miss
Ethel Heasley. The ladies quar-
tete and the male quartete richly
merited applause. Miss Anna
Dodge gave solo which was
greatly appreciated. Inc
entertainment closed with a very
appropriate recitation by Miss Cora
Chapman.

however, they are favored with
such a suitable condition as wet
spring. If we follow one of these
worms we will see that it disappears
from view in about four days
from now. 1t forces it's way into
the soil, and by turning round and
round it forms there cell, In
which it changes into reddish
brown pupa, from which the moths
issue, and to show the power of
increase it is onl y necessary to
mention that they lay about $50
eggs, which hatch in about eight
days. Now, what shall we do to
fight these nasty worms? Now
that the greater damage has been
done real remedy comes too late.
Yet there is a sort of fascination
IN the thought that we can kill
immense numbers of these dis
gushing insects. They nearly all
move in one general direction,
which is III our favor. By NOW
ing off wide swath between the
field invaded and the fields to
which the worms are travelling,
and then plowIng a deep furrOw
with it's straight side towards the
part to he protected, we have an
excellent trap, which can be i'm
proved on according to the con-
ditions of the ground by making
holes with crow bar, into which
the worms tumble. In most cas-
eS this deep Through or ditch Is
sufficient, but if the number of
worms is very great second par
allel Through should be made,
throwing the earth over into the
first Through for In so doing the
prisoners are covered up and we
start a new line of defense. Many
other methods are In vogue, but
they are all simply notifications
of this system, and any person
with little ingenuity can add to
them. And if the Through made
is kept fairly dusty it will form a
barrier which but few worms can
scale.
It is sometimes recommended
to spray with Paris green all the
plants in the way over which the
army worm passes. II seems to
ME that is an excellent remedy III
theory, but | have failed thus far
to receive any good results from
it. Farmers need not fear a repe-
tition of the army worm for some
time to come, except the spring OF
'97 should again be exceedingly
wet. The very great majority of
these worms are doomed to die by
their numerous enemies, nor is
there any danger that the army
worm will eat fax, fear express
ed by some people III their letters.
The food of the army worm is
taken solely from the grass family.
It would be very important for
all papers in the country to copy
this article, as by so doing some
damage and much worry will be
saved TO the hard working farmer
who sees, in part, the results of
his labors pass down through TIE
voracious mouths Of these worms.
