ond time. Long before 1t was time for
the Mayor and the members of the City
Council to take the oath of office the City
Clerks Office and neighboring rooms were
the scene of some quiet talks.
The prominent politicians were there
from little chiefs to big chiefs, and all
were wondering what the Mayor would
have to say. In fact, ever since those 335
votes were rolled up to the Doctors credit,
the rank and file of the opposition have
great deal of respect for the Mayor and
his opinions.
They have on more than one occasion
been given evidence that as politician he
is q sscorker," and beside knowing how to
dish out drugs and medicines he is hard
hitter and strikes from the shoulder. The
Republican majority in the City Council
during the past year has done some tall
juggling, and knowing this, they felt that
they would be called to Q strict account
for their actions in trying to block needed
reforms.
The Inauguration exercises took place in
the council chamber, both bodies assemb-
ling there with Mayor Gottschalk, and
Rev. l.. @. Horton, who invoked divine
blessing, occupying seats at the Presi-
dents desk.
The room Ioutside of the enclosure was
taxed to its fullest capacity by anxious
spectators who wished to hear the pro-
ceedings. Many of the city officers occu-
pied seats within the rail, and, as some of
the Mayors sharp shots struck home to
them, one could see rainbows of rage
sweep over their noble countenances. The
clock was about to strike 10 o'clock as the
members of the incoming city government
filed into their places. When all was in
readiness City Clerk Crawford admins
tered the oath of office to his honor the
Mayor, and he in turn administered the
oath to the members of the Board Of AL
dermen and Common Council.
The Mayor then delivered the annual in
augural address, which was listened to
with deep attention by all present. Al

duties of the Office In q manner which
would meet their full appreciation.
Upon motion of Alderman Mccartney,

some Of them were anxious to have the question,

Joseph Barondess, who was the principal
speaker. and who had been sent for especially
to address the meeting on this point, implored
the c~loakmakers not to strike for q number Of

"Now is not the time to strike" he said. "Ir
you strike at present you will mako q terrible

Barondess aroused considerable enthusiasm
by telling the c~loakmakers Of their suffertngs.
When he said they were earning starvation

Some insects which were found this season de-
~stroying a set of Japanese reed p~ortieres in q
house at Red Bank, N. j.. were described and
pictured recently in THE Sun, and at the same
time samples of them and Of tho infested reeds
were forwarded to the Division OF Entomology
Of the Department OF Agriculture at Washing
ton In order to have the identity of the insects
determined. There were two kinds of insects.
The first ones seen were exquisitely colored
lace-wing flies, delicate in shape, like wasps, and
showing . sheen Of metallic greens and blues.
The male fly Of this species had his abdomen
boldly striped crosswise with four bands of black
and four of yellow. These lace-wing flies were
found crawling about on the inside Of the reeds.

the little fly eggs hatch and their grubs proceed

eaten them up and displaced them. This is also
true of some of the gall.producing insects.

Seven Corpaea Found In East Tenth Street ana

Cats are certainly having a hard time Of It In
New York this summer. First comes u man
in Harlem who catches the runaway Tables In
traps and then chloroforms them in order that
the tenants of his apartment house may sleep
ct night. Then is he followed by Mr.. John
Spier Of West Ninth street, who catches all
stray cats, boxes them VI, and sends them to
the +, c: A. for destruction, much to the dis
pleasure OF his neiRhbor, Mrs. Roberts.
Now the enemy of cats has betaken himself to
the east side, and there is mourning for more
than one puss whose body lies somewhere in
the street, The scene of operations of this
latest cat killer is Tenth street, between First
and Third avenues. and Third avenue in that
immediate neighborhood. He uses poison put
on meat or something else the cat likes, and the
effect is to stretch the victims in tho cutters
cold and stiff, According to a trustworthy wit
ness, three dead cats lay together in East
Tenth street yesterday morning, about half
way between Second and Third avenues, and
In the latter avenue, between.Tenth and'Seventh
streets, were four more. The police have heard
Of several more, all of them done to death by
poison.
