Paris. Aug. I'm. Paul De Roulede.
founder of the League of Patriots and
a member of the Chamber of Deputies
for the Angouleme division of Char

morning at his estate at Croissey, near
Paris.
A number of members of the Anti
Semitic and Patriotic leagues We're also
arrested this morning.
A semi-otficial note issued Ibis morn
ing reads as follows:
"A certain number of arrests were
made this morning as the result OF
magisterial inquiry and by virtue of
article so of the penal code, regarding
II conspiracy organized for the purpose
of accomplishing n change in the form
of government. The persons impli-
Gated belong to the groups of the Roy
3list youth and the Patriotic and Anti
Semitic leagues. At the trial of the
Neuilly barTack affair facts relating to
that incident alone We're used as the
basis of the prosecution, but searches
were hen made and documents We're
seized which led to the discovery of
nm organization dating back to July,
1898. and of II plot to seize the govern
ment by force. The documents leave no
room for doubt either in regard to the
existence of the plot or ms to the chief
actors therein. After very close watch
organized proof was obtained II n the
same groups We're preparing for Il
fresh attempt at an early date, the
proof being sue as TO enable the dis
turbances to be averted by immediate
measures. The investigation of the af-
fair is intrusted to NJ. Fabre, eNamin-
ing magistrate"
NJ. De Roulede was taken into custody
by four gendarmes and was driven to
Paris. On his arrival here he was In
generated in h COnciergerie prison.
When an attempt was made to arrest
NJ. Guerin. president of the anti-Semite
league, he refused to surrender and
barricaded himself In his house. He
says he is prepared to hold out for
three weeks, having n good stock of
food and firearms.
The doors and windows of his resi-
dence are barricaded and Nj. Guerin
he will blow up his house
before he surrenderS.
On the application of NJ. Fabre. fresh
searches of various houses were made
this morning, including the head
quarters of the Anti-Semites, where
only unimportant papers were seized.

Altogether sixteen members of the

only possible after running the gaunt-

one of these which has timely inter

operation of n cooling fan by com

Miss NJ. |. Cunningham. in n paper
on the habits of spiders, speaks of the
ingenious in which these in
sccts bridge over large spaces. In some
cases these lines are thirty or forty feet
across roads, and even creeks. They
are stretched through the wonderful in
stinct of the spider in taking advant-
age of air currents. The spider seems
to know the exact moment ut which to
throw out his line on the moving air

point with which 1t seeks to connect.

Chicago banks which AVE been affix-

informed that such action is Illegal II
that they must return to the customer

payment. From a practical point or
view it might seem immaterial to the
government who stamped the checks

stamped. The instructions issued by
the martinets of the revenue depart
ment nave omitted to state on which
part of the check said stamp should be
placed-whether on the upper right
hand corner, the lower left-hand angle,
or on the center or at the side. Suisse
quent rulings will doubtless clear up

Physicians say that the kissing bug
Is merely an old bug doing business
under II new name. They claim that
most of the alleged spider bites the
past few years is the poisonous work
of the insects which have suddenly re
ceived so much attention from embryo
entOmOlogists. The insect partially re
sembles n cricket. though 1t has six
legs, which have n number Of short
spurs similar to those of II centlpede.
The bite or sting is painful and poison
Gus, though but few eases have result
ed fatally. The peculiar feature of the
annoyance is that the sting causes no
pain at the time and swelling is al
most instantaneous. The victim does
not realize that he has been kissed"
until his lips and ace are swollen out
of all proportion.
