TWO ESCORTS FOR M'KINLEY

gle for Position of Honor,

CHICAGO, Oct. 9,-During the military
and civic parade difficulty arose over tho
fact that two escorts were provided for the
president, one being Troop A of the First
cavalry Illinois National Guard, and the
other the U. S. Grant post Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic.
At the outset the cavalrymen closed in
around the presidential partys carriages,
forming a complete Gordon about them.
At Twentieth street and Michigan avenue
the Grand Army men came into the line
and began to form inside the square made
by the troop. AS this was against the or
ders that had been issued by General Bent

Litigation Between Makers of
Patent Medicine.

Patent Medicine.
Suit was filed yesterday in. the Supreme
Court of the District involving the right
of ownership of certain trademark, and
also calling upon those named as respond
ents TO give an accounting. The complain
ant in the case is the HillsdaIe Chemical
Company, which, through its attorneys,
Baker and Earle, asks the court to enjoin
the Glyza Chemical Company, John b.
Danforth, and Rufus Helphenstine or
their agents from manufacturing certain
product called "Terraline, or Offering it
for sale, until further order of the court
1t is explained in the bill OF complaint
the complainant is the sole owner of the
trademark .'Terraline" and has been since
October g. 1898; that the trademark for
merly belonged to the Terraline Company,
a partnership composed of Rufus Helphen-
stine and James e. McKahan. and that on
May 8. 1898, the first-named defendant sold
all his interest in the trademark to James
E. MeKaban. According to the contract of
sale it is alleged that Helphenstine con-
veyed to McKahan all his rights and title
in the Terraline Company and further
agreed that he would not at any time,
either directly or indirectly engage in the
manufacture or sale of "Terraline"
1t is also stated that on October 3, 1898.
McKahan, then the sole owner Of the
trademark "Terraline." sold it TO the com
plainant; that thereupon the complainant
invested large sum of money in the
manufacture of "Terraline," some of
which it sold. 1t was found however a
short time after that there was a great
falling off in the sale of ''Terraline," and
upon investigation, the complainant AYERS,
II discovered that the defendant CIyza
Chemical Company and the other defen-
dants were manufacturing 'Terraline" in
this city, and that the defsndent Helnhe1-

FRESH MEAT FOR YOUNG wAsPs
Keeping Spiders Alive in the Cell
Till the Wasp Egg Hatches.


The wasp is not a vegetarian like the bee,
and our cement-maker has before her the
problem of supporting her young with meat,
rather than with bread. As her eggs are
laid out in hot weather, and as enough food
must be stored in the cell with the egg to
mature the young insect, the question is
how to preserve the meat fresh for so long
a time She meets the difficulty thus: After
a tube is finished except at one end, which
is left open. she flies off on hunt for
spiders. She finds a fat, healthy one,
pounces upon it, stings it, and carries it
off and places it in a mud cell She re-
peats this process until she has placed as
many spiders in the tube as, according to
her judgment will be needed. She then
lays an egg in the cell and walls up the
opening.
The remarkable thing about this per.
formance is the magic effect of her sting
Whether it is the result of a subtle poison
or whether it is special spot in the
SPIDERS nervous system where the sting is
inserted, we do not know. Certain il is
that after being thus stung the spider lives
on in a paralyzed condition for weeks and
even months. 1t can move only slightly
and remains helpless in its mud sepulchre
until the wasp egg matches into a yoracious
grub. which at once falls to and eats with
great relish the meat thus miraculously
preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the spider
insensible TO pain or not is a question not
yet settled. However. the chances are in
favor of the theory that IL does. Anyway.
we need waste no sympathy on the spider,
the most bloodthirsty of all the little people
of the fields and woods. There is a sense
of retributive justice in the thought of q
spider helpless and at the mercy of a small
insect which it would have mercilessly de-
voured had it been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, indus
trious cement-maker of any unreasonable
cruelty if she, like US, insists upon meat
diet for her young, nor need we have any
fear of her sting, for she seldom uses ii as
a xreannn of nffence or defence

There are many clubs after Hickman, the

/. The sale of Honus Wagner to the Brook
lyn Club seems TO be a false alarm. As the
news of the sale was given out by Wagner
himself in letter to his brother, it was
thought TO be reliable.
The home coming of the Red Legs was
painful disappointment to the six thou
sand fans who witnessed the game on Sun
day last at Cincinnati. Tebeau's gang out
played Ewings men at all points.
Five straight losses after twelve straight
victories is very discouraging, when the
club had such bright promises Of standing
well up in the first division.
Andrew Freedman has said that he would
not consider any proposition for the pur-
chase Of the New York club at a less figure
than $1,000, 600. As president of the New

high estimate on his franchise, that, un-
