District Attorney Mtney said today that
the eases known az the ''oleomargartne
cases would be brought UP for trial In
the Criminal Court. during the present
month and prosecuted vigorously. He said
that they would have been called before
this. but for the inability Of Special Agent
Bowen OF the internal revenue bureau. who
is an important witness in many of the
cases, to be present. This announcement
Will be exceedingly gratifying to the many
people who have been made the victims of
the system existing here by which imita-
tion butter was sold for the genuine ar
ticle at prices asked for real butter, and
will also be pleasant to law-abiding citi-
zens generally. There has been consider

as the rumor was circulated, and had ev-
cry appearance of being well founded, that
powerful individuals er gagged in the oleo-
margarine traffic had managed to prevail
upon the Treasury Department to COM
promise the cases for a money considera-
ton. The Evening Star some time ago
referred to the statement that the COM
missioner of internal revenue had been
pronered $'5OO in fines to withdraw the
prosecutions Of the parties now under in
dictment In the District Of Columbia for
violating the oleomargarine laws, and who
number altogether forty-six persons. The

desirous of having the cases dropped to
still greater energy, and the amount offer
ed to the treasury authorities was in
creased, so 1t is stated, to $4,000 Even
this immense sum was not sufficient to
bring about the eagerly wanted compro-
mise, and the cases accordingly will be
pushed TO a conclusion.
AS before stated, there are forty-six in
dictments pending against parties charged
with violating the nlpama Parinp laws. for
ty-five OF which are against small dealers
who are alleged to have sold the oleo-
margarine for butter. the other being a
case which Is regarded of great i'm

Mr.. Theodore Shelf had been shutting
his feet uneasily for solne time. Cambelis
method of speech Jared him to the verge
of profanity. His own saintliuess was a
garb which he never threw entirely away
ut any moment. His voice had always the
oily urone OF the ccnventicle His Snug
hypocrisy was perennial source of pride
and comfort to him, without which he
would have felt very lonely and abandoned.
AT this point he drew the conversation
into his own hands. 1t had been said of
him that he always addressed the house of
commons rs though it We're the congrega-
ton OF his own tin tabernacle. and he
preached out his scheme of plumber, VIC
lence and other moral uncIeanness with
similar fervent UHction. Cambel was
openly amused and once broke out into a
hooking laugh. He was never at any pains
to conceal his contempt for Mr.. Theodore
Shelf. which was more honest than Judi
cious on his part. Kettle, on the other
hand wore the puckered face of a puzzled
man. The combination of cant and GRIM

in Kettles mind shipowners were a vast
y different class of beings, and so it never
occurred to him that the same might ap-
ply 10 them.
In this attitude Captain Kettle listened
to the sermon which was reeled out to him
and rather gathered that the project he
was exhorted 10 take part in was in some
obscure manner missionary enterprise

the size of a pigeons egg. Excepting
the Kohinoor diamond, the brightest
jewel in the crown of England, the Or
loft has more romance attached to it
probably than any other gem in the
world. 1t was one of the eyes of an
idol, and a French deserter having
stolen it, sold it to an English sea
captain, from whom it passed into the
hands of a London Jew, who in turn
offered it for sale to an empress of
Russia The latter would not accede
to the price demanded, but later Prince
Orloff, a Russian noble, bought it for
100000 francs. The Jew merchant as
a part of the transaction was ennobled
and granted an annuity of 1000 rou-

the Empress Catherine.

GuIANA,s VILE CLIMATE.

The climate og Guiana is not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees of the equator and the mer-
curry generally fingers around 80 and 100
degrees. The land is also low and marshy
in places, SO that fevers are prevalent at
all seasons of the year, and a white
man cannot live there unless he takes
extreme precaution to observe certain
essential rules. Negroes, on the contrary
can live anywhere and break the health
rules laid down for the white settlers
Yellow fever is an annual plague in
Georgetown but the negro population
gives little thought to it, and it is I'M
common to hear of one of their number
taking it. The coolies. who compose
about one-thfrd the population. are more
susceptible to the poor climate than the
negroes, but are much harder than the
whites. The coolies are lighter and more
slender race than the negroes. but they
are industrious and moderately faithful
workers, while the negroes are lazy and
indolent. The real hard and difficult work
in the fields that requires muscle is per
formed by the negroes, but the steady
continuous, light work is allotted to the
coolies. The two races are naturally hos

BIG THINGS IN THE BUG LINE.

Venezuela is little republic but she
has one thing that is the biggest of it's
kind on earth. 1t is bug-the largest
insect in all the world. The creature is
known as the elephant BEETLE and
when full grown it weighs nearly half
a pound.
In tropical America occur certain huge
species of bugs that are closely related
to the familiar electric light bugs of this
country. Like the latter, which has been
popularity known only since the introduce
ton of the electric light, they fly at
night, living during the day at the bot
tom of ponds.
There is a butterfly of the Malay Pen
insu,a and Malayan Archipelago which
has spread of ten inches. In India and
tropical Africa are found giant forms of
these remarkable insects known as
'walkink sticks They look like twigs of
trees Some of them measure IS inches
in length. They are related to grasshop-
