Uadybirds on the March.

For the last few days it has been
quite an interesting sight to watch
the large armies Of the white and
curiously shaped larvae OF the
blight destroying lsdybird marching
across the streets to the green leaves
10 search of their prey. All along
Alakea Street and especially in the
vicinityof the Pacific Club they rapid
ly crawlover the pavement in hun
dreds. They apparently issued
from the minute crevices OF the
gutter side Of the curb stones. Ig-
norant people unfortunately de-
stroy them, thinking them to be a
species of white woolly blight.
Readers Of this paragraph should
encourage them in future, and assist
them by placing them on blight
covered trees. They will be amused
to see the ravenous appetites they
possess for mans insect enemies.

the board of county commissioners
rooms and organized by eIecting Mr.
James p, Maxwell chairman, and Mr..
John waterhouse. secretary and treas
urer. The meeting was largely at
tenGed and many matters looking to the
completion OF arrangements for the trip
were discussed at length,
Mr.. Joseph speidel called the meeting
to order and suggested Mr.. Maxwell as
the permanent chairman, and he was
elected unanimously, Mr.. Waterhouse
was also the unanimous choice for sec
retary and treasurer.
MIR. Maxwell reported the arrange
ments as they have been made by Con-
gresham Dov0ner. which are that three
sleepers and dining car will be fur
nlshed the committees and the con-
gressmeu who will make the trip. one
sleeper will be occupied by the con-
gresslonai party, one by the ladies and
their escorts, and the third will be CIV
en- up to the Wheeling gentlemen. The
arrangements for the dining car are OF
such a nature that each Of the excur-
slonIsts will be required to pay seventy
five cents meal for three meals day.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Speidel each excur-
sionist Is required to deposit Si5 with
the secretary, Mr.. Waterhouse, on or be-
fore Wednesday at noon.

was suggested that two suits, one OF
light and the other Of winter weight, be
taken, as well as an overcoat. San
Francisco IL q chilly town in the even
lngs, but the trip back over the South
ern Pacific will be an exceedingly warm
one.
Congressman Dovener was the unani-
nous choice OF the meeting as the one
who is to make the presentation speech,
and everybody knows he will do 1t In
great shape. Some OF the committee
thought II would be advisable to take a
barber along, hut this was voted down.
Several Of the gentlemen who are the
proud possessors OF full boards, were
against such a move.
The wheelingltes will leave here at Z
o'clock Thursday morning, on the Bal
tImore & Ohio. They will 20 by way Of
Chicago, Omaha and Ogden, but there
is a movement on foot to have the

TOO MUCH MYSTERY
Surrounds the Manner OF the Death OF
Child al BsIlalre.


Child at BsIIaire.
That a colored child FIVE weeks old
was killed by accident or design at the
home OF Ratsy Brown. at Bellaire. was
made quite plain at the eoroneTs In
quest yesterday. The examination
was rambling, disconnected sort OF
investigation, but the statements OF
Maggie Tross, the mother OF the child,
and OF "Ratsy" Brown, at whose house
she lived, were so at variance that
neither could well be believed. The
mother said she never cared for the
child; that the Brown woman took care
OF II, and the Brown woman sustained
this. But the mother said the child was
well and always quiet, and the Brown
woman said It never was well and was
especially cross Saturday night. Il also
developed they had high old time"
Mt that house Saturday night and that
George Terry, VIM. Edwards and Oscar
Terry were visitors there between and
o'clock Saturday morning.
The child's head was bruised back or
the left ear and along the side. II was
dead at 4 o'clock but they did not send
for a doctor until or o'clock and no
good reason could be given for this.
The statements OF Drs. Piper and Boone
were made in writing and given the cor
oner, and they were not publicly ex-
amIned. The coroner did not publicly
announce his verdict but went to 81.
ClalrsyIlle TO consult with the prose-
cutting attorney. II Is understood the
coroner thinks both women should De

heard the case thinks.
