BILL ARP'S WEEKLY LETTER
PROFESSOR OF "BUGOLOGY" EN-.
LIGHTENS THE PHILOSOPHER.
cRITIC|ZES BILLS ASSERTIONS.
The Barlow Man, However, Takes Kindly
to His Critic and Is Thankful For
Information.

This popular writer must not be criticised
for not being up on everything relating to
natural history. He Is more entertaining
and does moro good than any ten Of the
learned professors. But when we see mis-
takes that lead to mischief or to tho damage
Of those Interested in sighting worms and
bugs We feel compelled to interposea word
Of remonstrance.
Bill Arp speaks Of the tomato worm as a
new discovery to him. He says: "This sea-
son has developed a big, long, bull-headed
green worm, with sting in the tail. They
are covered with white pustules about one
eighth Of an inch long and stand up thick
and stiff and seem to be eggs or embryo or
germs OF something that is devilish." Con-
Guiding, he says: sit is not unlike tobacco
worm" ..t
Like tobacco" worm; and we'll 1t might
be, for it is the same. Though there are
several species Of them they are all larvae
of the large sphinx moths that may be seen
Just at dusk flying around jimpson flowers
and tobacco blossoms, and they all feed
upon the different species Of solonaceae.
The "sting in the tail" None Of them
sting or bite, and their looking horrible
depends entirely upon ones ignorance and
prejudices. Contemplated as works of God,
adjusted to certain ends, they are all beat
tiful. And here we might as well at once
object to his theology about tho devil being
the author Of noxious insects and wild
beasts Is 1t not a mistake to refer all
things to mans use or pleasure? Surely
God is the father Of all Hisscreatures and
intends them all to I've and enjoy life.
The'white pustules'' observed on his SOL
ttary tomato worm were not eggs of any
kind, but the little silken cocoons spun by
the larvae of some species of ichneumon fly,
which having eaten out all the vital parts of
the poor worm, had come to the surfaeeand
gone into the pupa state preparatory to
coming out new lchneumons to 90 aud lay
their eggs on more caterpillars, to eat them
up also. The ugly worm was therefore in
dying condition when discovered by our
humorist.
For this. reason worms seen with tho
white cocoons on them should never DO de-
stroyed. They can do no more harm and
Will never become flies to propagate their
species. 1t is our interest to save all these
ichneumon cocoons. They produce flies
that are among our best friends.

| with the intention of recognizing the rights
and authority of the Cuban republics offi-
cials and of joining with the insurgents to
assist them in winning their freedom and
| independence. Stewart declared that, un-
der the circumstances. a war with Spain
would be a war with which the European
powers would have nothing to do.
The Maine disaster, alone, was in itself
an act of war, and this country would be
! fully justified In proceeding to extreme
| measures on that subject. The people, said
Stewart, had put the crime against the
Maine ahead. in point of consideration, Of
every other feature of the Cuban question,
and they would heartily approve of a war
with Spain to wipe out the stain upon this
country produced by that foul Spanish
blot. He insisted that no war ought, how
ever. to be precipitated that did not include
the Cuban insurgents as allies to our arms.
If this country should recognize the inde-
pendence of Cuba. the people would ap-
plaud the action from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, because it would mean the freedom
Of an oppressed and downtrodden people,
Butler of South Carolina, in rising to Of
fer resolution, said that it was perfectly
evident that the message just read did not
mean the independence of Cuba. for which
the patriots of the island had been so long
struggling The president, said he. merely
asks us to authorize him to stop the war
in Cuba. That could not be done until the
Spanish flag was hauled down from the is
land forever. Butler then presented His
resolution, which follows:
Whereas. the destruction of the United
States battleship Maine and the numbering
of 266 of our sailors in Havana harbor by
the Spanish government is an act Of war
on the part of Spain against the United
States; therefore, be it
"Resolved-First, that to avenge this
most foul and unparalleled crime, which
our national honor demands, and to put
stop to Spain's most cruel, barbarous and
inhuman warfare now being waged against
Cuba, which is demanded in the interest of
liberty and humanity, the government of
the United States hereby recognizes the
Cuban republic as a separate and inde-
pendent nation.
Second. that the government of the
United States hereby demands that Spain
at once withdraw her land and naval forces
from Cuba.
Third, that the president Of the United
States be, and he is hereby, authorized,
empowered and directed to use, If neces-
sary. the entire land and naval forces of
the United States to carry these resolu-
tions into effect
The resolution went over under the rules.
Another message from the president,
transmitting the Cuban consular reports,
was laid before the senate, and, after being
read. was referred with the accompanying
papers to the committee on foreign rela-

A Georgia Welcome


ATLANTA, Ca, April 11.-Every Geor-
gia town through which Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
will pass on his way to Washington will
vie with its neighbor in preparing DEM
onstration for the popular consul. The
idea originated with the Virginia Society
of Atlanta and found ready echo with the
military and civic organizations. Presi-
dent Courtney of the Virginia Society has
wired General Lee as follows:
"The Virginia Society expresses it's pro-
found regard and sincere congratulations
to you and yours and extends cordial in
vitation to the heart and homes of its men,
mers. Please give us an opportunity to
shake hands with you on your way to
Washington via Atlanta
The members of the society, accompan-
led by a large number Of the most promi-
nent people of Atlanta, a detachment of
the local militia, will accord Lee an en-
thusiastic reception. The preparations
which have been made at Waycross, Ca,
are q fair indication of the plans which
other Georgia towns have also made.
Capt. O'Brien of the Waycross regiment

men in full-dress uniform will welcome

The bOldest robbery ever committed In
Las Vegas went 10 record last night.
About 1890 two masked men entered the
club room Of II. NJ. JOhnsOn's saloon, the
Antlers, and robbed the tables and went
through those present, the same being
six In number, three besides the regular
employees OF the place.
one of the men was tall and one short,
the tall man having only his mouth and
chin covered with handkerchief. while
the short man had black mask, which
covered his nose, as well az the lower
part OF the face. The tall man entered
by the east door OF the room, the one
which leads into the saloon, while the
small one entered from the rear or west
door. zach had his pistol In hand, and,
at their command, the six Inmates lined
up along the south wall. backs 10 the
robbers and hands extended towards the
ceiling.
The tall man did all the talking. and
was evidently an American. The short
man held his peace. While the long man
covered those in the room, the short man
went into the bar, took two gold watches,
which we're 10 be ratll Vi, took the cash
from the bar drawer end whatever was
In the safe. He then returned into the
elub-TOom and drew down on the men
against the wall, while the long man
robbed the tables, putting the money into
a sack which they had gotten In the bar
room. When that was bnished johnson
and Stewart were thoroughly searched
and all valuables taken, including
JOhnsOn's valuable and beautiful dia
mOnd ring. The other four were
merely asked what they had, their
yaviOus pockets being tapped On tie
outside. The robbers refused 10 take
the few dollars OF silver In any mans
pocket, saying that they had all OF that
kiEd OF money they could carry. When
through, they commanded the men 10
stand where they were, till the robbers
had reached their horses, aud then
backed out OF the back door and diaap-
peared In the darkness OF the night.
The men at once started In pursuit.
but no traces Of the robbers could be
found, although large number OF citi-
zens ultimately Joined In the effort. The
losses OF Mr.. johnson are put at 81 900 or
more, which about takes all that he had.

The above article IL clipped from the
Las Vegas Optic OF last Saturday. City
Marshal Mcmillan received a telegram last
Saturday from Hilario Romero in regard
to the robbery, and later telegram told
the marshal TO watch out for the pro-
prietor OF the place, +. NJ. Johnson. The
marshal started to investigate and dis
covered that johnson was on the south

that induced this man to volunteer. Il
may have been from a sense Of his patri.
otto duty, nevertheless IL was mistaken
duty.
This case calls TO mind q number
Of similar instances where men with
families OF young children and a
helpless wife who were dependent
upon them. have enlisted and gone
to the present war. Possibly these
families are provided for by kind
friends, but not by the one who
should provide for them, for he cannot,
with the paltry pay Of private.
They have, in their enthusiasm and
thirst for adventure, forgotten their
duty. The call for volunteers should no,
appeal to them, from the fact that there

in the United States ready aud eager TO
