Fought a Monster Bug.

Camden, n. j., Aug. 23.-H. H. Hew-
EFT, of this place, was aroused by his
wife, who claimed she heard noise in
the children's room early yesterday
morning Investigating, Mr.. Hewett
discovered monster black bug, almost
the size OF sparrow, in the room. He
attacked the bug with a broom and
batted it up against the wall several
times, from which it as often recovered,
crcling viciously about, making low
drooDiug noise. Finally, by strategy,
Mr.. Heweit got the bug against the
binds, and, by jabbing him with the
broom, heard him drop on the shed
roof. Then he jabbed the thing with
the stick, but was unable to crush it,
and it escaped. Mr.. Hewett declares
that the bug was as big as wrer; black
on top and yellow underneath, and it
bad pair OF fierce looking horns and
gauzy wings.

Manila was not necessary TO obtain the
freedom OF the Cuban insurgents,

No MATTER what Mr. Reed may be,
he is not a trickster nor a trimmer,
nor is any wise man, or one worthy
of followers. He announced several
months ago that he would not be q
candidate for Speaker again, though a
republican majority of the House had
then been elected. II he did not in-
tend to serve as Speaker, it WASH
likely he would, on the floor, so the Of
fetal resignation of his membership Is
not surprising. 1t has long been known
that but for the USE of money Mr..
Reed. instead of Mr.. Mckinley, would
now be President, and also that neither
the personnel nor the policy of the
present administration is agreeable to
the ex.Speaker, aud as he is as great q
popular favorite now as ever, 1t would
not be strange if MS opposition to both,
should afford serious obstacle to the
attainment OF the objects OF the Presi
dent, and Mr.. Hanna and all the other
federal Office holders.

A jury of Women.

Is stirred with indignation at a proceed
ing in Justices court wherein six no.
torious women were allowed to sit as a
jury in the trial of a whisky case. There
is no authority in law for jury of VIC
men in Arkansas. The explanation is
that the States attorney, having been
unable in single case to secure con-
viction for selling whisky on Sunday,
announced when this case was called
that he would take as jurors the first
six persons called to serve on the jury
The counsel for the defense suggested
the six women and they were accepted.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT is more elective
than Objectionable laws; but toe pres
ent republican administration, appar-
emily at least, does not entertain any
such old fogy idea, as it continues TO
appoint negro officials in the South, not
withdrawing the many convincing
proofs that has been afforded it
of the i'll efforts of such a course.
The average Southern white man
objects to receiving his mail from
a negro postmaster or negro de-
putty, and the latest public manifesto
ton of that objection was afforded yes
terday when white postmaster was
whipped by the "white caps" for ap
pointing negro deputy. Senator
Jones of Nevada, pronounced republi-
can as he is, said several years ago
that this is a white mans country, and
that truth is now becoming as well rec
ognized in the North as it is in the
South.
