BEES SWARM INTO A CITY.
Rochester Invaded by m Army OF
1000, Which Is Soon Captured.

ROCHESTER,. N Y, July A
queen bee led her swarm of 1000 odd
subjects right into the heart of Roch-
ester, and began to locate in front Of
the Livingston hotel. A telegraph pGIe
in front of Conolly's bike establish
ment was selected as the final resting
place of the swarm, and the clans
were gathering there all day. filling
the air about with their buZZing. Their
presence attracted a large throng, but
it made many of the pedestrians some
what nervous to have a swarm of bees
lowering about them, and, though the
bees do not appear to have stung any
one they were inclined to be alto
gether too familiar for comfort.
Walter B. Bargy, of u King Place, Is
a man who has passed his life In the
care of bees. He knows all about
luck of the swarm would have it, he
happened to be passing along Elk
change street while they were cutting
up their antics. He determined to at
tempt their capture, and 1t was not
a difficult task for any one who knew
how to do 1t. He took an ordinary
soap box and climbed to the top Of the
role. He was surrounded by the in
sects, and they could have Stung him
to death had they chosen to do so.
But they seemed to recognize him as
a friend, and none of them interfered
with Mini he set liIe SoSbp ooA on top
of the telegraph pole and waited de-
velopments. In about half an hour
about half of the bees were swarming
inside the box.
He climbed up again, and slipped a
paper under the box and took it down.
But he was not content with the cap
ture of only half of the tribe. He
took the box across the canal and SIT
it on the pile of logs just under the
canal foot bridge. On top of the box he
set key. and this proved so much
more attractive that the bees began to
leave the box and crawl in thousands
into the key. The bees which still lin
gered about the pole on the other side
of the canal crossed over, and by night
Mr. Bargy took to his home 1000 bees
They are worth SIS or $40, so he had
done a pretty good days work. He
had practically picked 1t up out of the
street.

A BAD IDEA RESTORED.

We are getting, IN the initiatory DAYS
Of this administration, a renaissance
of ideas and methods that its two pre-
decessors had led us to hope if not
to expect had fallen into desuetude.
This is the revival in one direction of
the notion that appointments to pub
lie office are like cigars. invitations to
dinner, or to take something" per-
sonal and private property, to be dis
tributed according to the personal pre-
objections of the appointer; rewards
for personal services, without the
slightest regard to the public to whom
service is to be rendered, and for
whose benefit, theoretically, offices are
created and filled. We are told, for in
stance, that John Goodnow's appoint
ment as consul at Shanghai was "a
personal appointment of the presi
dent, and when we search for the cause
we find it in that demonstration Good
now and Tim Brynes got up at Crooks
ton in the spring Of 80 to counterfeit
the plan OF giving the state delegation
again to a "favorite SON." Aside
from all private considerations.

Of the peculiar qualifications demand
ed for that post, with it's judicial func-
lions under the capitulatious provision
Of our treaty with China His is but
one case of many where the motive
was the same.
Later we have another illustration Of
this revival Of the day when offices
were used for purposes distinct from
public service. Mr. George Esterly,
once successful maker Of seeders
and reapers in Wisconsin, fell
upon evil times and became
insolvent. He lived for time after
in Minnesota, and again in one of the
Dakotas. He is appointed an auditor

GERMAN POPUJJSM

When our Populist friends dissolve
the connection that temporarily united
them with those whose fundamental
concept of government is directly an
tipodal to theirs, and resume their
march toward the naturalization of in
dustries as charted in their Omaha
platform, they will find precedents
established for them in the acts pro-
cured to be enacted by their fellows
the Agrarians of Germany These are
now rejoicing in the expulsion Of
wind" prices in produce, through the
abolition of speculation in futures, a.
joy clouded somewhat by their inabil-
ity to perceive how it Is operating TO
increase prices, but in whose ultimate
benefit they retain full confidence. The
latest reports tell Of the confusion that
has resulted from the closing Of the
produce exchanges, with the resulting
uncertainty as to what the daily mar
ket prices are, but it is unlikely that
the reichstag, controlled by the Agrar-
ians, will retreat and long before our
own Populists shall have gathered mo-
mentum enough to carry them into
power the efficacy or futility of the
German experiment will have been
demonstrated,
Meantime they. can we'll give their
attention toea still further venture in
experimental socialism ventured by the
German Populistss on line that is a
favorite with our own agrarians The
government LAS allotted 100000 marks,
about $750,0O0, to the erection Of agri-
cultural depots at various points where
grain and perishable products of the
farm may be stored for farmers at
small charge to await the time when
the owners think prices are satisfac-
tory. If the result is satisfactory the
scheme will be enlarged to cover the
entire country. This plan stops short
of the proposition Of our agrarians to
have the government make advances

EHRET's CHANCES GOOD.
1t Is Thought His Injuries VIII Not
Prove Fatal.

Albert J. Ehret, the proprietor of the
Lexington hotel at Fourth and Wa

wounded by Robert Dillon in a cutting
ARRAY Saturday night, will probably
recover He was taken to st. Joseph's
hospital after the fight, where he was
attended by DR.. E. II. Whitcomb, who
was called from Ell1s' hall to care for
En- ct Immediately. 1t was necessary to
perform an operation at the hospital
on account of the deep knife thrust IN
Ehret's abdomen. 1t was found that
the blade had entered the mans abdo-
men about six inches, but fortunately
did not sever any of the intestines,
though the abdominal muscles were
badly cut. The wound in Ehret's neck
and the stab in the right side were
found not to be serious. DR.. Whit
comb stated yesterday that in the alb
sence of complications Mr.. Ehret would
undoubtedly recover.
Dillon is confined at the central po-
lice station, where he was yesterday
visited by his wife. He has a family
of six children, and is said to be in
offensive when not indulging in liquor
He will be arraigned in the police court
today.
