RensseIaer's BIue-BIoOded List.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Mrs. John
King Van Rensselaer, hastens to explain
that she didn't mean 1t. After she had
thrown the aristocracy into a state of
mind the dictator self-constituted an
nounces that a careless reader of ad-
vance sheets found the names Of thir-
ty-eight families mentioned in her new
book and announced IN big type that
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, had cut down the
lists Of truly trulies from 400 to thirty
eight.
Anathema was pronounced upon Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, at once.
But New York will breathe easier
when the good lady's explanation is
read. 1t is to the effect that this book.
which caused all the woe, is only the
first of a series. The others will come
later.

Ed. Johnson. the Negro Republican
Chairman. Says the Republicans VIII
not Support Him.
The Populist Congressional convention
will be held in Raleigh on the Sth day
of September.
The Republicans of the district have
notified the populiSts that they will net
support Strowd if he is the nominee. In
other words. now that the pOpulists have
warmed the Republican party into life,
the Republicans say: I'VE will fuse
with you. provided you name a PopullSt
who will do Jeter c. Pritchard'S bid
dings. If YOU name Strowd, he did not
always accept orders from Pritchard, as
Harry Skinner did. and we will not
support him. We will let YOU name a
candidate who will call himself a POpu-
list provided we have guarantees that
he will stand by the Republicans when
ever they call for him."
That is the threat that will confront
the Populist convention when it meets
in Raleigh on the 9Th of September. The
present programme is to nominate Sher-
if jenkins. Of Chatham. who is always
for Republican rule, and who is in high
favor with Pritchard and Skinner. II
the convention will not give that place
to a Chatham man. then the Pritchard
Populisls and Republicans will permit
the nomination of Mitchell of Franklin,
PROVIDED the aforesaid Mitchell will
agree to do the bidding of the Republi-
can bosses.
Such is the understanding ut present.
The Republican Congressional executive
committee. of which Ed. Johnson (col.J,
assistant district attorney, is chairman
has not yet been called. but Chairman
Johnson says ii will be called to meet
early in September. Asked yesterday
if the Populists named Srowd, he said
that in thaa event the Republicans would
name straight-out Republican candi71
date. 81
There is to be fusion again, provided
the Popuist candidates put on the suits
of Republican clothes which Chairman
Holton says he will make the Populists
wear before the campaign ends.

Missoula, April 16.-The Bandmann-
Oettinger tooth case was called this
afternoon in the court room of Justice
Landers. but the big crowd was disap-
pointed in the expected entertainment
hat the trial was to produce. Herr
Bandmann's attorney asked that the
case be continued until such time as the
parties to the suit would agree upon.
This Is construed to mean that the
case will never come to trial and that
1t will be settled by arbitration. This
is eminently satisfactory, as the whole
affair was one that did not reflect cred
IL upon either party. and an amicable

cowardice of Weyler occurred on May !,
1896. He ordered one of his favorlte
combinations of columns against Maceo
at a place called ~Cacarajicara in the
province of Pinar del Rio. Thu result
was that the forces of the Spanish
Colonies Inclan and Geiabert were shat
tered by the Cuban leader, and the
havoc made to the Spanish lines was so
great that the Spanish soldiers, panic
stricken, threw themselves into the sea
to escape the Cuban machete. Weyler
as in all other cases, accused MS
subordinates of not having obeyed his
riders exactly.
On Dec. Z, 1896. Maceo. after having
crossed weyIer's famous trocha and
entered Havana province. was assassl-
mated in an ambush near Punta Bravo.
The revolution lost in him a great pa
triot and a heroic soldier. But Weyler
soon Understood that the murder or
Maceo was not the death of Cuba's
cause. In March, 1895, Gen. CallXto
Garcia landed in Santiago de Cuba. He
soon replaced Maceo as a dashing hght-
er and a brilliant commander. AT the
same time Gomez in Santa Clara had
won the important battle OF Saratoga

THE ARMY WORM.
The Present Brood will DO Little


Missoula, April 16.-Mention was
made some days ago in the Standard
OF the appearance in Missoula of what
Professor Elrod. the biologist of the
worm and Is of the opinion that II Is
that the present brood will not do any
damage. The worm. however. will soon
become a moth. N in June there VIII
be another brood of worms. IL is this
June brood that is apt to do the lam
age to grain and grass. No danger
will come to fruits n shrubbery, as
the army worm does not attack these.
There will probably be another brood
in September IL the conditions are good.
Professor Elrod called at the stand
ard office tonight and said that he re-
ceived reports of the existence of
worms as far up the valley as Stevens
vile. but. while there are said to be
large numbers of these creatures, II
does not appear that the worm Is In the
great numbers that have been found in
other states where fields have been
damaged. The remedy given by the
professor Is the blowing OF a furrow
around the grain field and the digging
of holes at intervals. The worms crawl
into this furrow and cannot get out.
Then they are crushed. How the worm
happens to breed in such numbers GER
tain years Is something that scientists
have not discovered. The worm is
found in all parts of the country, but IL
Is only occasionally that 1t breeds in
sufficient numbers TO be dangerous.

portunity to judge of the profession that
his father follows. as his fathers part

No wonder tina the mother is fond OF
