A WASP IN HER BoNNEr.-Buckiul

A WASP IN HER BoNNET.-Buckiug-
ham, Pa, has striking and genuine
case of "bee in the bonnet" or, at
least, of wasp there. While Mrs.
Charles Buchanan was washing clothes
on Wednesday, she hung her sunbor-
net on the fence for moment. When
she replaced the bonnet on her head
there seemed to be Goals of fire in it,
and there was buzzing enough for act
ual flames. Almost frenzied with pain,
the woman tore off her bonnet, to find
that it contained large and very ac-
tive wasp. She had been stung in sew
eral places, and since then her head
and face have swollen greatly, and her
ewes are swollen shut.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL has written to
New York newspaper, to the effect
that the best remedy for lynching is
speedy trial and punishment by the
courts. That there should be speedy
trial, not only for the crime for which
lynching is the prescriptive punishment
in the South, but for all others, is not
only true, but is urgently demanded by
the tax payers; but that it will not pre-
vent lynching is equally as true. In.
deed, one of the chief reasons for lynch
ing, for the crime referred to, is that
trials may be prevented and the miser-
able victims OF the brutal outragers,
and their families, be spared the addi-
tional suffering necessarily incident to
such trisls.

The PATENT fact that the difference
in the wages of the same class of labor
ers in different parts Of this country is
much greater than that between the
wages of the same class OF laborers in
England and the United States, the
former with free trade and the latter
with high tariG, is sufficient to prove
to any reasonable man that tariffs do
not affect the price of labor. But the
number of those who if prayed in q
mortar would be the same sort of peo-
pie still, seems to be larger now than
ever before.

Mineral Coating for Ships Bottoms.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. George H.
Eldredge is on his way to the gilsoDite
lands of Utah to investigate for the
Navy Department. Experiments with
substances from the Utah mineral lands
lead the department to believe that if
the bottom of q ship is coated with it, it
will withstand the attack of submarine
animals which bore into the steel, and
which costs the nations Of the world
millions of dollars. Not only this, but
it will be impossible for fungi to gather
on the bottom of the ships, and will
render docking unnecessary, except in
the event of an accident.

chronic disrrhoea. 1t has given me a
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried dozen different medicines and

permanent relief. Not long ago g
friend sent me sample bottle ofCbam-
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and after that I bought and
took so cent bottle; and now l can
say that am entirely cured. I cannot
be- thankful enough to you for this great

KING GEORGE, of Greece, now that
the question of abdicating his throne is
q condition an not q theory with him
doubtless experiences a realizing sense
of the fatuous weakness he exhibited
when he yielded to the jingoes of Ath
ems and made war upon Turkey. But
fools always suffer for their folly. He
probably feels like kicking himself, OF
asking one OF his recently bumptious
but now retiring, sons to do 80 for him.
but regrets are the vainest of ali things.
1t is said that he has acquired large
fortune by specializing in stocks and
bonds. If that be so, it is we'll with
him, for the fate Of poor beggar is
bad, but that OF poor king is worse.

TIE Young Mems Business Assocla'
ton of Richmond have resolved to per
sist in their intention to invite the ".
Ar. to hold its annual reunion in their
CITY, irrespective of the fact that the
Confederate Camp there has declined
to have anything to do With the mat
ter. But there is nothing at all strange
about this, or about the support the
newspapers of Richmond give to the
proposed invitation of the business as
ISOLATION referred to. Why, meeting
of the business men of Richmond few
wears ago endorsed the boycott OF 8
large employer there, because he deter
mined to conduct his own business IN
his own way, and the newspapers there
endorsed that action also. 1t contin-
ues to be what is not done in Rich
mond, not what is done there, that is at
all strange. Yes, there is a new South,
and Richmond is its representative city.

NOTWITHSTANDING the immense in

month. owing to the greatly increased
imports, caused by the natural desire
of the merchants to avoid the payment
of the high duties imposed by the new

RICHMOND AND THE G. A. R.-The
Young Mems Business Association is
still determined to press the movement
to secure the encempment of the G.. A.
R. for Richmond in 1899. This was
fully discussed at meeting yesterday
evening. A resolution was adopted d.
recting delegation to visit the encsmp-
ment at Buffalo this month and notify
the executive committee and State
delegations that Richmond will have
representatives at the meeting of 1898
to accomplish the object in view. The
association believes that it lcsn offer
such inducements as will be acceptable
to the G. A. r. men.
The action of Lee Camp in deciding
that it would not be proper for that or
ganization to join in the invitation for
the encampment to come to Richmond,
seems to have determined the associa-
tion not to appeal to any other OF these
organizations. At a meeting of the
common council a resolution was adopt

hess men III tnelr eHortS 10 SECURE lne

of the Grand Camp of the State and a

expressed for the invitation and the
