Rain Drives Away Firefiies

"The lightning bugs, or firefiies. as
many call Them" explained a bugolog-
ist of the agricultural department, dis
appeared as suddenly as he made his
appearance this summer. They were &
couple of weeks later than usual in max
ing their public appearance, for but few
were seen until the middle of May. In
comparison with former years the num-
ber was decidedly small. Now, ordinar-
lily, they are in evidence until nearly the
END of August, but none has been seen
for nearly two weeks. The more rain
there is during the summer the fewer the
lightning bugs. There is only this con-
nection between lightning bugs and rain.
The frequent rains wash them off the
trees and drown them. 1t has always
been noticed that they are much more
numerous during dry summers than wet
summers. The present summer bears off
the palm as wet summer. In this re-
spect it has not been equaled for thirty
years, that is in the east. In the mid
die west it is just the other way, eX-
tremely dry. 1t may be that the light
ming bugs knew of it and went to places
where there were no rains. ."-Washing

HE SLEPT LONG FOR A PURPOSE

Man Arose and ESCAPED

Binghampton, N Y.-Trance sleeper
George Seymour brought his notorious
five weeks sleep to surprising climax
early Monday morning, when he awoke,
folded up his belongings and silently
stole away from the Broome county farm

the county hospital few days ago.
Seymour was arrested for horse steal

he fell into a cataleptic state. Physi-

sleep made him notorious.
When transferred to the county farm
he was locked up in a cell. AS his sleep
seemed to continue the guards thought
it unnecessary to watch him slosely. Yes
| terday Seymour aroused somewhat and
drank nearly a gallon of sweet milk
He then relapsed into the comatose
state. When he drank the milk he seemed
insensible of what was going on about
him. Some time between midnight and
4 o'clock this morning Seymour arose.
and, bursting open his cell window,
escaped to the ground. He tore pickle.

of the building, where he was confined.

clothing. He then went away, probably
boarding freight train for the west.
His escape was noticed by Night Wal CHI
man Samuel Brooks at o'clock. A
searching party was sent out, but so far
it has been unsuccessful.
Physicians claim that his physical
condition was such that he could not
stand unaided.
Seymour has proved the contrary.
1t is probable that Seymour has faxed
his sleep for the last two weeks. There
is doubt if his sleep was ever genuine
catalepsy. The man seemed able at any
time to take the hypnotic state.
More strange than Seymour's grsat
sham and escape from the officers is the
fact that Mrs. Seymour, also arrested
for horse stealing, is now exhibiting
similar symptoms at the Jail. She ap-
parently is taking insanity, and seems
inclined to go into the fake hypnotic
trance.-New York Journal.

But will the German emperor-who mus

ture-be prepared to let prince of any
of these nations step in? In the mex

will likely play a part such as they havd

| German prince, perhaps a member of
the mediatized houses, become the nat
ural and irremovable adviser of the
young sovereign? Thus far the ques-
tions that cannot fail to present them
selves to the minds of those rulers and
nations who are bound to take contin-
gencies into consideration.
But there is another aspect Of the affair
which must not be overwhelmingly,
that ever since 1902 the kings of Prussia
have borne the title of Prince of Orange
which is righfully theirs by lineal inher
itance from Princess Louise, the last
heiress of the house of Orange after the
death of William Ill of England with
out ISSUE This inheritance, therefore
lltuteS dl the same time Cldlul u
the Dutch throne, which until now has
been held in allegiance, but which might
be advanced in the event of Wilhelmina's
dying either single or married but child
less. The matter is very complicated
one that cannot be treated in few lines;
but one thing is certain-the claim,
though held in allegiance, has not been
abandoned. At William rs death, nine
years ago, the semi official organs of the
German government took care to re-
mind the world of it. Queen Wilhelmina
is fully aware of this, and, though she
declines the first prince chosen for her,
we must remember "qu'il y plus dun
ane s appelle Martin" The next may
meet with better luck But it is signifi-
cant of the end of the nineteenth century
that royal maidens claim equality with
their humblest sisters in the disposal of
themselves for better, for worse, until
death do them part from their spouses.

The proprietor started out by saying
that he ran both saloon and restaurant
and had restaurant license. He, him
self, was never on duty later than or
o'clock in the evening, and he knew his
place was conducted in accordance with
law, because he gave orders that il
should be. True, he had had to dis
charge three or four men whom he had
employed in the restaurant because he
found out that they were not obeying his
orders. The saloon was closed promptly
at II, but the restaurant ran all' night,
and liquors were sold with meals. but
not otherwise. He had had some trouble
with the man who had been running the
restaurant, and for three weeks ths
place had been closed. Mr.. Reese was
profuse in his explanations that he in
tended to obey the law and pleaded that
he be given chance. He had closed the
restaurant and would never again allow
it to be run after midnight, at which
hour the bar closed
In substantiation Of his assertions that
the Four Hundred was an orderly and
law-abiding place, with highly moral
atmosphere, Mr.. Reese called upon D. ].
Lewis, one of his employees, who stated
that he was on the night watch at the
saloon and always closed at u o'clock.
On the morning of the fight the saloon
was closed, and there we're but couple
of men in the restaurant annex, friends
of his, who were waiting for him to go
home. The ringing of the cash register
was occasioned by him in making UP

Commissioner Wyman brought up the
subject of the Arcade depot saloon,
where, he stated at a previous meeting,
he had,learned an officer had entered and
telephoned the police station while men
were drinking at the bar, had accepted
cigar and then walked out. Mr.. Wy
man said that he had the statements of
two young men who had purchased
brandy, drank it and were standing at
the bar when the officer came in. The
mayor wanted to know where the wit
nesses were, but they were not present.
Thereupon his honor grew wroth and de-
claimed hotly against the practice of
making charges against men on state
ments and when the matter came up for
investigation failing to produce wit
nesses. Mr.. Wyman was not perturbed,
and simply moved that the investigation
be postponed one week.
The mayor was not to be shut off, how
ever, and went on: "If this thing contin-
ues this commission will make of itself
laughing stock. Men cannot be car
ried along under cloud in this manner
with hearsay charges against them
To which Mr.. Wyman replied that ne1th-
er could he be choked down. Finally the
statements of the officer and saloon
keeper were taken. Each asseverated
that at the time the officer was in the
place there was no one behind the bar
and nothing being sold. AS Officer Wood
ward was going out after using the
public telephone, the proprietor offered
him a cigar, reaching over the bar ana
producing box. Asit seemed clear that
the officer was in no wise to blame and
that he had violated no rule, on motion
of Mr.. McLain he was exonerated, the
