San Francisco people complain that
the price OF meat particularly Of lamb
and veal, Is going up, and they blame
the great packers Of Chicago for 1t. The
packers, 1t is charged, began some time
ago TO buy up lambs and calves in the
stock-grOwing regions.
A late New York World dispatch from
London says that lamentable reports
continue to pour in from all parts of Ire
land OF the havoc already wrought
among the crops, and as the weather
still is most unprOptiOus,all hope Of saw
ing the remnant of the harvest is fast
fading away.
A California dispatch reports a peeu-
liar case. David Pearce, a well-knOwn
ranchman near San Gabriel was clean
ing an lrrigatlng ditch at nightfall on
his property and was frequently stung
By mosquitoes. He continued at his
work and went home. A mosquito sting
back Of his left ear irritated him more
than the Others. Next day 1t became
somewhat painful and on the following
day the pain increased. From that time
the wound grew rapidly worse, and for
the last two days Mr.. Pearce has been
unconscious
MiddletOwn, Ohio, has been invaded
By caterpillars. Shade and fruit trees
all over the town have been attacked by
the fuzzy pests. Many Of the trees are
so covered with the caterpillars that
frebrands have been necessary to rid
the limbs Of them, while people walking
along the street are continually annoyed
by the insects dropping from limbs
above, Thousands of the worms are to
be found on fences and houses, and ivy
vines trained over several residences
have been destroyed. The caterpiIlars
are very small and unusually voracious,
attacking and cutting off good-sized vine
sprouts at the base.
A resolution was adopted by the
Trades Union Congress in session at

dustry imperatively press for an interna-
tlonal settlement of the monetary Ques-

Of exchange between gold and silver
money, so as to provide a common stand
ard Of values throughout the world.
This meeting of representative trades
uniOnists earnestly urges the govern
ment to carry out it's pledges to Parlia-
ment on the subject in hearty, liberal
spirit in the present negotiations for an
international agreement"
General GrOsvenOr(R (Rep.), ex-Congress-
man from Ohio, says: II am wholly out
Of accord with the system adopted in
West Virginia under which Judge jack
son issued his peripatetic, rowing in
junction. His views, as | understand
them, are bad law, bad morals and worse
politics. The hasty resort to equitable
remedies |. e., injunctiOns, is to say the
least, dangerous and generally unwise
But our judicial system is equal to the
task Of settling all the questions in
v0lved, and a resort to Congressional
legislation would be open to the objec-
tiOn that 1t would be an exercise OF Fed
eral power over the internal affairs OF
the States, and the more important one
that in times of excitement and trouble
hasty legislation always promotes OppO-
sitiOn."
AT summer resort in Cleburne
county, Arkansas, an alleged society
known as "The Order of Holiness" has
been at work. A dispatch says that two
weeks ago two disciples Of this strange
doctrine began holding what they called
holiness meetings" They preached a
strange doctrine. Marriage was de-
n0unced as ungOdly, ordinary religion
was declared to be fraud upon the
credulity Of men, and labor Of all kinds
was said to be unnecessary. The disci-
pies called upon men and women to re-
nOunce their marriage vows, quit work,
