The ChfnchsRur

The chinch bug extends over most of
the United States east Of the Rocky
mountains. It is double brooded, the.

stage, very largely atdeast, and depos

previously stated. . s...$5 .s.:
Each female deposits about 500 eggs,
usually placing them about the sur
face of the ground on stems of grass.
grains, and, in rare cases, other plants.
The young are at first Of a red color,
later changing to brown-black, while
the adult is black with white wings.
The wings are not obtained until full
development has been reached, and
hence in the most destructive period
the insects crawl instead Of fly, and
the true. cause of injury is less on ac-.
count of the numbers than Of the habit
of clustering in myriads on the plant
attacked.
! A heavy fall Of rain during the
Matching season is fatal to the very
young chinch bugs, and it is probably
this influence that prevents their be-.
coming more abundant and destructive,

Austin corbin,s Successor.

William FL. Baldwin, Jr., the man
who succeeds the late Austin Corbin as
president of the Long Island railroad,
is one of the youngest railroad presi.
dents in the country. His career as a
railroad man has been remarkably sue
cessful. Ten years ago he dropped the
study of law, which he had begun after
being graduated from Harvard, to take
a clerkship in the Union Pacific rail-
road at Omaha. Today, while not yet
81, he is at the head of one of the rich

road organizers the country has pro-

Mr.. Baldwin had become first vice
president of the Union Pacific when the
road passed into the hands Of Jay
Gould. Then he left to become general
manager of the Flint and Pere Mar
quette railroad of Michigan. He was in
full charge of this property until July
/, 1894, when he resigned to become
third vice president Of what is known
as the Southern railroad system. In less
than year he had risen to become gen.
eral manager of this big system.

useless to draw comparisons with
other years. Michigan, which has
been classed by silver men as solid
for Bryan, showed her colors in ex-
cellent shape by rolling up good
Republican majority, and electing
the entire state ticket. The ter
rible defeat which Bryan and his
followers throughout the country
received at the polls Tuesday, plain
ly demonstrates that the people OF
the country have had sufficient
Democratic rule for the past four
years, resulting from free trade,
poor management of the govern
ment affairs and windy promises.
They now propose to stand by the
grand old party, which has always
been found faithful and true.
