The Hornets Charge.

Mr.. Hervy Laney, in The Scietifc
American. describes the way hornets de.
fend their homes. There is always u
sentinel on watch II, the entrance, and
when Il stone * thrown at the nest 1.-THE
hand thn, threw it has been marked as
sure as lie sl!n shines. and before the at
lacking party can possibly turn the head
he will feel stunning blow in the fore
head and possibly drop to the earth with
pain, for the hornet flies with such We.
locity that the human body is not swift
enough in movement to get out Of the
way
In making such a charge, Mr.. Laney
says, the hornet flies with head and tail
together" and the sting is driven deep.
But If the boy gets behind tree or
bush aud throws from shelter he Is like
" to escape, because the hornet seems
to. possess little power Of locating the
edemy by sight. When the delivery Of
a stone is followed by successful
charge, Mr.. Laney thinks, it is because
the hornet possesses "the faculty Of
marking the direction Of a missile
thrown at the nest"
Hope is the feeling we still have afte,
It is all gone.
After we have lost our youth we hang
long time to the idea that we are still
middle eyed.
Half:a loaf is better than no bread, but
Z small dish Of Strawberries is worse

our. Big. EXPORT TRADE
Total Value Shows a Gain Of re
Per Cent In a Decade. NJ.
FIGURES OF OTHER NATIONS.

States. which Exceis, Especially In
Production and Manufacture Of
Metals ~ We Send Manufactures
Abroad IT Rate OF ~ 600, 900 = Nay.
The remarkable growth In the expor-
tation Of manufactures has led to the
preparation by the treasury bureau Of
statistics Of series Of tables showing
the value of each class of manufactures
exported in each year during the decade
and the amount Of each class sent to
each country. BY this process it is prac.
ticable to determine the trend of our
foreign trade in manufactures, both 90
to the class OF manufactures most de-
manded abroad and the countries which
are proving our best customers. :.
That this subject is one which justi-
fies careful study is apparent in view
Of the fact that the expectation Of man
ufactures has more than doubled in. the
last six years. more than ttrebled since
1880, more than quadrupled since 1870.
IL more than eight times as large as it
was in 1850, and in 1898 and 1899, for
the first time in our history, exceeded
the importation of manufactures. The
expectation Of manufactures in the hs-
cal year about to end will average more
than 81, 900, 900 day for each business
day of the year.
A study Of the figures which cover
the details of the ten years. expectation
of manufactures shows that the total
value of our manufactures exported has
increased 10 per cent in the decade,
while an examination of the exporta-
tion Of manufactures by other countries
fails to show any considerable percent
age of increase in any Of them during
the same period. Great Britain's ex-
ports of manufactures show no increase
since 1890, the earliest year at which
separate statement of manufactures ex-
ported is attainable. while her total ex-
ports Of domestic, products [of which
manufactures form about SO per cent?
show no increase in value in the deo

GOING AHEAD.
City Ownership of the Water Plant
Being Pushed.

The city council has employed H. v.
Hinckley to assist the city engineer in
making plans for a new waterworks
system.
The request of the city council to the
old water company for a proposition to
sell the plant to the city has met with
no response and the council has in
structed City Engineer Barnes to go
ahead with the plans and specifications
for an entirely new system.
Councilman Burgess says that the
council has waited long enough and he
is tired of fooling with the old company.
Councilman Warner said: Il do not
see any use in wasting time. The old
company has shown no disposition to
do anything or to make a proposition
to sell and l believe that we ought to go
right along"
Councilman Roundtree said: "I think
that the city should buy the water
plant if it can be bought, but if the
company will not sell there is nothing
for us to do but go ahead and put in
new system
Councilman Skinner thinks that the
company should be given a reasonable
time to reply to the request of the coun-
ell for a proposition to dispose of the
plant.
City Engineer Barnes had been au
thorized to employ an assistant but he
submitted to the council the various
propositions he had received without
recommendation. The council finally
decided to accept Mr.. Hinckley's pro-
position of one-half of one per cent of
the cost of the improvements.

SOUTHERN WOMEN
Protest Against the Presidents Sug-
gestions Regarding Confed-
crate Graves.

Savannah. Ga, March THE local
chapter of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, which is the original chapter of
the Organization, has adopted reSOlu-
lions strongly protesting President Nc
Kinley's suggestion respecting the fed
eral care of Confederate graves. The
resolution says:
with full appreciation of the i'm
pulses expressed in that sentiment, we
shrink, instinctively, with hushed and
holy sorrow, from yielding the slightest
assent. The graves of the Confederate
dead are our pilgrims shrine. From
their hallowed hearts eternally ascend
mute protests against all assaults upon
constitutional liberty. The record these
Incompatible heroes made furnish the
brightest pages in American annals,
wrought out by men of Hottest mould.

GRIMES DOESN'T LIKE IT.
Thinks the Senate Ought to Have AL
lowed the Quantrell Raid Bonds

State Treasurer Grimes is indignant
at the action of the senate in turning
down the Quantren raid claims. Nearly
every day he is in receipt of letters from
the holders of these claims, demanding
their payment and charging the state
with reputation.
Il am compelled to answer these par
ties that the Legislature has refused to
make an appropriation for the payment
of these claims, and when they are pre-
scented I shall stamp them, Not paid
for want of appropriation I am hav-
ing a stamp made today for that pur-
pose.
There may have been some of those
claims issued which are fraudulent, but
Auditor Cole and 1 would not have
passed them until we had investigated
them and been convinced that they
were all right. Many of these claims
are perfectly just and will have to be
paid some time. Those bonds ought to
have been issued and then the interest
would have been paid into the state
school fund instead of to private in
diVidualS."

THE ENGLISH BOOZE.
Continues to Haunt the Germans of
Chicago.


Chicago, March IA monster mass
test against an alliance of the United
power, will be held in the near future
chosen as the hall. Delegates from
more than one hundred German organ
izations of Chicago, Turner, literary,
secret, beneficiary and religious socie-
ties, with a combined membership of
$4,000, met in lungs hall, and after
speeches a committee was appointed to
arrange for the mass meeting. The
speakers urged that Germany had been
grossly misrepreSented when it was
said that she was hostile to this coun-
try. Englands jealousy of Germany in
obtaining a firm hold on the hearts of
the American people was advanced as
an argument for her present alleged
efforts at disparagement of the father
land
An interesting feature of the meeting
was the presence of John F. Finerty
Judges Gibbons and Dunno and other
prominent IriSh-AmericanS, who came
as fellow workers in the cause of dis
couraging foreign entanglements, es-
pecially British.
Judges Dunno and Gibbons and John
F. Finerty were called upon to address
the meeting. Their remarks were
greeted with hearty enthusiasm.
Judge Gibbons declared the best in
terests of this country would be sub
served by it's fighting its own battles
and that it should ask no help from any
foreign power.

FORTUNE ON EGGS.
One Train Load From Kansas Brought
$4,000 in New York.

Fort Scott, March six thousand
cases of eggs, that would have more
than filled a train of seventeen cars,
were placed on the New York market
one morning last week by a commission
company of this city during the almost
unprecedented dearth of eggs all over
the country, and while New York people
were eating Kansas eggs at As cents
per dozen the people out here were at
times unable to get enough to make a
batch of pancakes.
An ordinary freight car will hold $50
cases of eggs. There are thirty dozen
On a case. The commission company
happened to have 5000 cases on the
Gotham market on day when they
were the scarcest and refused SO cents
per dozen upon order by telephone
from the manager in this city to hold
them for 40 cents, or $40, 900 for the train
load. The market suddenly declined
and the eggs were finally sold for about
$1,000 less. Those shipped by freight
were laid down in New York for about
% cents per dozen, but many of the
5000 cases were shipped by express on
account of the enormous demand. The
$50, 900 dozen eggs which sold at such an
unusually high price were from south
east Kansas.

While the house was waiting for its
ways and means committee to make a
report last night it amused itself by

the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to
arrest him and bring him before the bar

ABOUT TO STARVE.
Urgent Message For Food Sent From
Passengers of Snow-Bound
Train.

Cheyenne, Wyo., March IAN urgent
message for relief was received today
from a Cheyenne & Northern train in
the snow at Iron mountain. The pro-
visions are reduced to a few beans and
a little coffee, with forty-two persons
on board to- be fed. They have been
showed in for six days, and the condi-
tions are desperate, as the adjacent
ranches, where food has heretofore been
obtained, are also out of provisions.
John F. McDermott, John and f. w.
Foxton, who walked in from the i'm
prisoned train, report the cuts drifted
level full of hard snow between here and
Iron mountain, and that the only way
of getting through with a train would
be by shoveIing. A relief train with a
supply of provisions and 100 ShOvelers
was sent out this morning, but can not
reach the imprisoned train before to-
morrow night.
The blockade on the Union Pacific
was raised today and trains are now
running. 1t was with great difficulty
that the rotaries and wedge plows man
aged to push through, as the cuts were
all piled full of hard packed snow. The
trains that were imprisoned at Lara
mic came through all the way from
seven to twelve hours late.

think of your work, but I can't express
an opinion until 1 see what your work
is Even If you haven't done much
good, neither have you done any harm.
A man who has once been condemned
to be legislator knows how to sympa-
thize with you. He knows what it is to
come I'D here with his head full of
grand ideas and to go home with an in
distinct idea that he hasn't accomplish
ed anything. Constituents send him up
here to do something. The local paper
says, The Honorable John Jones left
today for Topeka to assume the reSpon-
sible public position of a legislator for
the great state of Kansas. We expect
great things from him. And Jones ex-
poets it himself.
when a legislator first comes up
here he comes with the determination
to do his whole duty, and starts in by
trying to conScientiOuSly read every Dill.
But they soon swamp him and pile up
on his desk. They are no poems nor
interesting storiettes, and he soon be-
gins to vote at random. He comes up
here with the idea that this is de-
Lucrative body, but he soon gets over
that and becomes like the rest a tumul-
tuouS legislator.
the people change legislators too often.
But by the time a legislator has put in
two months in Topeka, spending his So
per day in riotous living, he doesn't
want to come back, and the chances are
his constituents don't want him to
either, and he doesn't come.
You can congratulate yourself on
one thing-the state of Kansas needs
lots of other things more than it does
new laws. With all due respect to your
legislative ability, if there were some
way of running the state institutions
without it, the state would be just as
we'll off if the legislature should notmeet
again for ten years.
Il hope when you go home you will all
get the glad hand and not the marble
heart and the icy stare. further hope
the senate will get down from the high
horse on which it is now riding and do
the proper thing. If it does 1 am sure
the house will also do the proper thing,
and everything will be lovely and the
goose will hang in an elevated position. -

THE KAISER'S LETTER
Of Sympathy to Mrs. Kipling Excites
Comment at Home.

Berlin, March emperor Williams
message of sympathy to Mrs. Rudyard
Kipling occasioned by her husbands
serious illness is commented upon by
the press here today,
The Vossiche Zeitung says: This
new manifestation of the emperor's and
the recent ones by German ministers
form a pleasant contrast to the erron-
eous statements that Germany is about
to declare a tariff war on the United
States. The German nation on the con-
trary is strongly DESTROYS of living in
peace with America, economically as
well; but hopes for full reciprocity and
that the legitimate interests of Germany
will be considered
The above remarks and Emperor Will
liam's action are apparently based on
the theory of her majesty that Mr..
Rudyard Kiplings residence in the
United States, the fact that his wife is
an American and his sympathy for this
country make him an American in spirit

BISHOP WARREN ILL.
He Has Undergone an Operation Fol
Appendicitis.

Chicago, March IA special to the
Times Herald from New York says:
Bishop Henry w. Warren, one of the
foremost dignitaries of the Methodist
church, is suffering with appendicitis at
Buenos Ayres, Argentine, South Amer
dca. An operation was performed upon
him March 1 and he is resting from the
shock of that at the present time. No
alarming reports as to his condition
have been received, although his age,
6S. make it possible that he is seriously
ill
Bishop Warren left the United States
early in January for the purpose of at
tending two conferences of Methodist
officials to be held in South America.
One of these conferences was fixed for
February Is at Santiago, Chile, and the
other for March at BuenOs AyreS
Since leaving this country no definite
advice has been received from the bish-
op as to his progress nor as to what
work he had accomplished. That he
was i'll was not known until todav's
advices, which came through Rev. c.
W. DTees, presiding elder of the First
district, South American conference.
Bishop Warren is with DR.. Drees, and it
is the latter who has apprised his Amer
lean friends of his illness. His report is
favorable to the recovery of the bishop.
