PAPER TELEGRAPH POLES.

Paper telegraph poles are the latest
development of the art of making pa
per useful. These poles are made of
paper pulp, in which boraX, tallow,
etc, are mixed in small quantities. The
pulp is cast in a mould, with a core
in the center forming a hollow rod OF
the desired length, the cross-pieces be-
ing held by key shaped wooden pieces
driven in on either side of the pole
The paper poles are said to be lighter
and stronger than those of wood, and
to be unaffected by sun, rain, damp
ness or any of the other causes which
shorten the life of a wooden pole.

ANOTHER MOSQUITO STORY.
The Hoodoo Could Not Charm Them
Away

i
Away.
Talking of mosquitoes said joseph
Friedman, a sugar broker of New Or
leans. Il was mp in Iberville parish
the other day and went fishing with
some f lends. They had a little CAMP
on the Atchafalaya river. and we IN
tended TO stay there over night, Int il
the course of the evening the mosaIl-
toes became so downright ferocrous
that we prepared 10 retreat.
AT that juncture our negro cook
suggested that he go after old Uncle
Zehc, venerable darky who lives in
the nefghborhood, and who enjoys q
great reputation for supernatural pow
ers over all winged beasts. We told
him TO go, and be blamed quick about
it, and pretty \ soon Zeke appeared.
There was breeze from the river, and
the first thing he did was to clear a
little space to windward. Then he
started five or six small fires in a row,
and sprinkled on some powdered leaves
that seemed TO be principally tobacco
They gave out dense pungeEt
smoke, that swept over the camp and
drove the mosquitoes before it by the
million. Thereupon he muttared a
ed to draw rough circle around the
camp by laying crossed twigs on INC
ground. He declared that they would
keep out the king skeeter,' who was
supposed TO be the leader Of the blood
thirsty brutes. For a little while
things were pretty comfortable, and |
was beginning to believe that Zeke vas
a first-class sorcerer, when the D. ct re
suddenly veered, and the mosquitce s
swooped down on us like an army with
banners.
Hats, nets, gloves and clothing were
no protection whatever against that
awful onslaught, and / am willing TO
swear that several of those mosquitoes
bit me right through my boots. There
was wild battle for few moments,
and then we fled for our lives. / have
frequently heard talk in the country of
old negroes who could 'conjure away
mosquitoes, but that experience con-
vinces me that the tales are all moon
shine. If the wind is right. and you
are willing to be smoked like a ham
the spell will workout not ether
wise. New York Telegraph.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require all expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tism, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it
if after passing there is an unsatisied feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, nc
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stopPage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing of the
urine with instruments, or may run into
Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage o.
kidney trouble
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is worldwide and it il
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for want Of it
However, if you prefer to first test it
wonderful merits, mention EVENING HERALI
and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton

THE DELAWARE SENATORSHIP.
state WIN Probably Have But On
senator For Two Years.

state VIII Probably Have But One
senator For Two Years.
Dover, Del, March 1.-THE Demo
Gratis and regular Republicans who have
been such important factors in the tri-
angular senatorial fight had an under
standing last evening which amounted to
an agreement to disagree, but to leave
Delaware with only one senator at
Washington for two years. What do
you regulars propose to doW asked the
Democrats. IF you will support Sen
ator Gray, or give him five votes more
in recognition of his services to the ma
tion at this critical time, we will sup
port him to a man" This was declined
by the regulars, but they agreed, if the
Democrats wanted to weed out Ad-
dicks, to give them one more opportunity
by taking up Colonel Dupont again, for
whom some of the Democratic assembly
men had expressed a desire to vote.
The Democrats said no to this, and the
result is that they are voting for whom
soever they please, while the regulars
have again brought Colonel Dupont into
the fight. The Democrats, therefore,
will not again take up Senator Gray as
a unit, because they realize the necessity
Of leaving the senatorship an open ques-
tion for two years hence. 1t is conse-
quently expected that today's voting will
last well into the afternoon, and will
make the day a memorable one in the
history of Delaware.

CANADA'S DOUBLE HANGING.
Mrs. Poirier and Her Lover Pay the
Penalty For Their Crime.

Mrs. Poirier and Her Lover Pay the
Penalty For Their Crime.
st. S,holastique, Que, March IL
Mrs. Cordelia Poirier and Samuel Rars-
low werr hanged here yesterday tor the
murder of the womans husband. Mrs,
Poirier vas firm and collected Though
out. She took part in the mass, and on
the scaffold shook hands with the hang
man without a tremor Of fear. The
crowd inside the Jail jeered at her, but
even then her composure did not desert
her, and at the suggestion of the ex-
ecutioner she turned and faced the
jeerers, and stood erect and prayed to
the last
Parslow exhibited much less courage,
and was more dead than alive when the
drop fell. The condemned were taken
to the scaffold separately, and were pre-
vented from seeing each other by q
screen placed between them. Six hun
dred men, who had remained up all
night, witnessed the execution. Outside
the jail there were 1000 more, who
with a beam tried to batter down the
gate of the jailyard, and could only be
made to desist by the provincial police
firing their revolvers into the air. The
behavior of the crowd inside was such
that one of the priests Teproved them
= ON the scaffold.
Mrs. POirer was organist of the Cath
olic church at Jerome, and Parslow, her
reputed lover, sang in the choir. While
the body of the murdered husband lay
in their home she played the organ at
a wedding ceremony. Both confessed,
each blaming the other.

The Appropriations.

Washington, March 11.-Availing him
self of the privilege accorded by the
house of representatives previous to ad-
journment, Chairman Cannon, of the
committee on appropriations, has pre-
pared for the Congressional Record a
more extended statement of the appro-
priations made by the Fifty-fifth con
gress than he made the day after ad-
journment. He places the total appro-
priations for the entire congress at ST.,
566, S90,016 and the appropriations au=
thorized for future congresses under the
continuing contract system for battle
ships, river and harbor improvements
and public buildings at S70,000000.
