SPIDERS INVADE A HOME.
Millions of the Pests Drive Out q Maine
Family.


Mrs. Julia Pierce and daughter EN-
ma of Southport, Me-, have been driven
out of their house by an unaccountable
visitation of spiders, which to the num-
Der of millions swarm in every crack
and Granny between the partitions, In
the floors. fences, outbuildings, win
dows, doors and on the walls every
where outside and in. They called in a
physician about two weeks ago to as
certain what 1t was that was causing
them so much discomfort, they being
bitten or stung by something, they could
not tell what. The bites were very
painful, but yielded readily to treat
ment Every effort that could be
thought of to get rid Of the pests has
been made, and several hundred dol
lars worth of furniture has been de-
stroyed, but in vain. Finally they APP
pealed to the board of health, which,
after investigation, ordered the house
vacated. Health officers are now con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of destroying
| the buildings, in which case they will
probably be paid for by the town or
| state The spiders are said to have
been brought in some clothing from
the south. and 1t is thought they may
be species of tarantula. A live spec
linen has been sent to Prof. Robinson

GREAT DEMAND FOR COPPER.

One OF the most remarkable adj
yanccs IN mining stocks ever recorded
In this country occurred few days
ago when the value of the copper
mines Of the Lake Superior region in
creased In value more than S't"N,co

Copper Is In heavier demand to-day

the highest price since lsSi. when u
was sold for II cents pound. Dealers
In the metal believe II VIII advance
another cent within the next few
weeks. despite tie fact that the season
OF the greatest demand IL closed Tor
the year
Wire manufacturers say that the out

urcvlnus figures will be- cast In the

makes n difference Of Slio per mile
IN the cost OF trolley wire and n pro-
portionately greater cost for electric
light wire.
| The immediate result OF this adj

| ty In the market for copper stocks.
The copper industry has received
great stimulation during the past few
weeks, and n quick advance IN the
price Of bar copper is looked for. The
supply Of copper hars In the market is
being constantly diminished, while the
demand IL increasing rapidly. The re-
ports from London for the early part

We have had an unusally pleas

four hours journey. Stopped at
the island few hours, where we
had the pleasure Of meeting Judge
Springer. The judge is looking
hale and hearty. We do not
wonder that he has selected Mack
mac for his summer home, for the
island is veritsble paradise and
Judge Springer has an ideal cot
taga.
But there is more of Mackinac
than its beautiful scenery. its
fine Plank hotel and the many
artistic cottages. The island is
rich in it's historic associations

out the whole west, northwest anc

assume its present form. Fiol
the point OF observation it bore
