The Southern Clothes Moth.
|, the Editor of tha Dlsnatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Does the ordinary ''moth" which cuts
or eats and destroys woollens. eat or
cut feathers? Does the moth perpetuate
itself, or is 1t only the result Of the eggs
OF some flying insect, and can 1t not
be starved out by confinement provided
no flies can get at the goods 10 deposit
new eggs? The season is now approach
Ing when many would be glad 10 know,
| among the rest. p. r..
The moth 20 which our correspondent
refers is unquestiopably what is known
as the southern clothes moth tinea bisel-
liella). There are other species OF clothes
moths in this country, but the. common
one in all Southern States is the one
named. Clothes moths are treated at
length IN the bulletin of the United States
Department 81 Agriculture. entitled 1.-THE
Principal Household Insects OF the
United States" page $3.50 inclusive.
The species named above has two an
nual generations-the first In June and
the second In August and September. In
the extreme South there are doubtless
additional broods.
The larvae OF the clothes moths feed
on woollens, feathers. furs, etc. be-
aides a variety OF other animal products.
Your correspondent, therefore. should
know that the moth has nothing TO do
with the injury. but that ii is only the
larvae which can effect any damage. The
moth y the parent insect, and deposits
It's eggs on garments or other sub
stances which will serve as food for the
larvae. Confinement, therefore, is OF no
advantage II the moths have already had
lccess TO the garments, because the eggs
will hatch. and generation after genera
lion may occur in whatever enclosure the
garments ara stored
The remedies for the clothes moths
consist In the beating. shaking. and
brushing Of the articles affected. and the
use Of various repellants. such as to-
bacco. cafnphor. naptthalins cones. or
balls. cedar chips or sprigs. and boxes
lined with taxpayer. taking the precau-
ton always TO thoroughly air and beat
the garments before putting them away.
Frequent inspection Of stored woollens
or other clothing OF animal material is
highly advisable. II the garments have
bean thoroughly renovated. they may be

Jefferson will appear at the Academy
of Music on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
this week, presenting Rip Van Wrinkle.
Cricket on the Hearth, and Lend Me
Five Shilings.
1t was I'm 1859 that Jefferson took up
the subject Of Rip Van Wrinkle as the
right theme for his dramatic purpose.
His predecessors as Rip have all been
clever men, but none of them ever at
tanned the success in the play that he
has, which may be attributed to the
fact that his reading Of It upset all es-
tablished precedents, when he made of
the leading character a dreamy, poetic,
well-meanlng man, and not merely
tipsy ne'er do well.

TO BRING BRAN INTO COURT.
Hanging Postponed to Await ction of
Supreme Court.

Boston, June 2.-Thomas M. Bran,
convicted of the murder on board the
Herbert Fuller, will again appear in court
on Friday, the 11th day of the month
This will be just one week previous to the
date set for him to meet death on the
gallows.
Bran was sentenced to be hanged June
18th, but now that the exceptions in his
case will not be reached by the judges
of the supreme court at Washington, be-
fore the second Monday in October, it has
become necessary to postpone the sent
ence.
i. The judges of the circuit court before
whom Bran was tried have decided up
on June IL as the day Bran shall be
brought before them. He will then be
taken to the court room and the judge
will announce that the date upon which
sentence shall be carried out, has been
indefinitely postponed.
This means that a date will not be set
for execution until the supreme court OF
the United States has decided whether,
according to the exceptions sent up by the
defendant, the latter is entitled to a new
trial.

The President addressed the doctors
briefly and was then driven to the Com
mercial Museum where he inspected. the
exhibit of that institution. A luncheon
was served at the museum.
Later In the afternoon the President at
the Academy of Music, delivered an ad-
dress at the opening of the 1nternation onal
Commercial Congress. Among the
speakers this afternoon, in addition to
President Mckinley, were Dr.; William
Costa Rica and Romero of Mexico.
A pretty incident followed the Presi-
DENTS speech. AS he concluded, Mayor
Warwick stepped forward and introduced
to the audience "The leading lady of the
land who had, with the President
favored Philadelphia with her presence
today" Mrs. Mckinley with few
ladies, was seated in private box at the
side Of the stage, and as the Mayor
finished, the assemblage, recognizing her,
arose to their feet, the men cheering and
the ladies saluting by waving their
handkerchiefs and clapping their hands.
Mrs. Mckinley graoiously bowed her
acknowledgements of the unexpec ted COM
pliment.

WAS BEATEN AND ROBBED.
Armenian Peddler Reports Hard Usage in
Down East Dive.

Bangor, June 2-Michael Joseph, an
Armenian pedd1ar, hailing from this city
reports being beaten and robbed this
morning in a house in Plymouth, wher-
he stopped last night. The house is occu
pied by Bert Malcolm, Frank Sargent and
Nellie Eaton. He says that they took
about S14 in money from his pocket and
some goods from his pack.
The place where the affair took place is
known as Malcolm S and has borne an un-
savory reputation for years. The woman
was formerly Nellie Mullen and she has
been arrested for selling rum. Some years
ago, boy mysteriously disappeared and
numerous ugly rumors were set afioat in
which the name of Malcom was conspicu-
Gus, and it is stated that the matter even
went so far that an investigation was set
on foot in the hope of finding the remains
of the boy Nothing Of an incrimi mating
character was unearthed, however.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS WILL BEGIN,
Turks Haye Promised to Sign Extension
of Armistice Today.

London, June 3.-The Turks have
promised to sign the extension of the
armistice at dawn today, and it is ex-
pected that peace negotiations will begin
promptly at Constantinople.
King George, it is understood, has
yielded several points with a view OF
fastening the negotiations and of bring
ing about the Turkish evacuation at
Thessaly. In this matter it is said that
the Russian government has promised to
support Greece. The Turkish military
commission continues to hold long sit
tings at the Yildiz Kiosk; and it is very
evident that the general impression in
Constantinop1e is that the peace negotia-
tions will collapse and that the war will
be renewed.
The plan of sending the Crown Prince
Constantin to London has been abandoned
as the trip might be interpreted either as
a desertion from his post in time o1
danger or as a removal from the CHIEF
command and, consequently disgrace
The likelihood is that Prince Nicholas
will go in his stead.
