ROUGH ON ALGER.
A Reception in Boston That Chilled
His Gracious Smiles Into an Icy,
Stony Stare of Impassiveness.

Boston, February 16.-President Nc
and other associates, arrived in Boston
at 10:0 OF o'clock to-day. They came as
the guests of the Home Market Club, a
national organization of Republicans.
The members of the Cabinet who came
with the President were John D.. Long,
Secretary of the Navy; Gen. Russell A.
Alger, Secretary of War; Cornelius N.
Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, and
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith.
In the party also are Congressman
C. H. Grosvenor, Secretary Porter and
Private Secretary Cortelyou, Major
Hopkins, Secretary Ayers aide, and
Mr.. Webster, the Presidents steDo-
grapher. Lyman j. Gage, Secretary Of
the Treasury, met the party on their
arrival here, having come direct from
Chicago last night.
r Itseemed as if all Boston had turned
out to bid the President and his Cabi-
net welcome. Great crowds filled the
cold train shed and pushed and jostled
each other in al effort to get a view
of the President, while the iron rafters
rang with their cheers. Still larger
was the throng which filled the streets
around the station where the carriages
which were to bear the party to the
Hotel Touraine were stationed. Gov.
Wolcott and his military staff were at
the train to meet the President, and as
O as the introduction and greetings
were concluded the carriages were en-
tered and under escort of the First
battalion of cavalry, the visitors start
ed for the hotel.
AS the procession passed, cheer upon
cheer was given by the crowd and upon
all sides there were manifestations Of
cordial welcome.
Several times during the parade and
amid the general cheering, yells Of de-
rision and Kisses were heard for Sec
rotary of War Alger. This was par
ticularly noticeable at the corner of
Park and Beacon streets.
Whats the matter with Long,"
frequently was the cry.
What's the matter with Alger?"
was shouted as the procession passed
along Summer street.
Yah, yah, yah, beef! beef" jeered
the crowd. 1t took Mr.. Alger some
time to grasp the situation. At length,
however, he caught the drift of the
shouting and his gracious smiles stiff
fened into a look of cold impassive-
ness.
At the corner of Beacon and Charles
street, a group Of young militiamen
established themselves with the delib-
crate Intention Of giving Secretary AL
gN, a snub when he passed. as was APP
parent from their conversation, and
when Secretary Alger's carriage was

BRIDGEPORT.


Some excitement was caused on Bank
street Wednesday evening by the gas
escaping from the escape pipe at the
corner OF Pike and Bank street becom-
ing ignited and making a column of
fire nearly as high as the building.
A number of the natural gas con-
sumers here experienced some incon-
yenience at an early hour yesterday
morning caused by gas going of en-
tirely. Many let the gas burn low
through the night, and had not the
greater part of them been notified by
an employe of the gas company some
serious results would no doubt have
occurred.
Arthur, the eldest son of J. L. Hig-
gins, who has been ill the past two
weeks, is able to be out.
Mrs. William McHugh, who resides

A. daughter of Mrs. Ida Anderson,
who resides on Pike street. mashed one
of her thumbs recently while at work
at the Wheeling Stamping Works. An
attempt was made TO save the injured
member, but it was found impossible,
and it was amputated yesterday by DR..
Cole.
N. Kuhn is rapidly filling his ice
houses with the ice from the back river.
If the weather will permit the men TO
work a couple more days Mr.. Kuhn
will have enough ice stored away TO
supply his trade the greater part of the
summer.
Auditor Aldredge, of St. Clairsville,
was in town yesterday calling on
friends.
Fred Amarine is able to be out after
a several days illness.
w. B. Hall is home from a business
trip to Pittsburg.
T. l.. Lewis is entertaining William
Bailey, an old friend who is now resid-
ing in Michigan. Mr.. Bailey has not
been in this vicinity for nearly thirty
years.
Now that the Wheeling Street Rail-
way Company has begun the work Of
laying a cable from their plant over
the river for the transmission of power
to the B., B. & NJ. f. line, it would be
a good idea for the taxpayers of the
town to consider the matter of ur-
chasing the B., B. & M. F. plant, which
will be abandoned, and fit it out as an
electric light plant for the beneft OF
the town. The building is a substan-
tial one, and could be fitted out at a
small cost, as the greater part of the
machinery could be used.

There is a movement among the
druggists of Wheeling and vicinity
which is of considerable import to the
profession and to the outside world as
well. In fact, the matter is not at all
local in its origin or extent, and is but
in keeping with the recommendation
of the National Druggists Association,
and the trade journals which have had
the subject under discussion for
months.
1t appears the business has been, so
to speak, demoralized more or less for
some years back by the existence of
the se-called cut rate store, or rather
that the druggists have been at vari-
ence among themselves as to a solu-
ton of this vexed question. The cut
rate stores make their own prices on
patent medicines and proprietary en-
edies, while the regulars" believe in
maintaining uniformity in such mat
tiers, The problem is not a new one,
and has from time to time agitated the
trade in Wheeling as elsewhere.
The Druggists Association of Wheel
ing, which also numbers in its mem
bership numerous representatives at
Bellaire, Bridgeport, Martins Ferry,
Benwood and McMechen, has main
tanned an attitude in opposition to the
cut raters, and a little more than a
year ago, it will be recalled, the matter
was given much attention in the meet
ings and resulted in the withdrawal Of
certain members from the association.
1t is now reliably stated that a new
plan of attack has been determined up
on, and that the campaign will soon be
opened up with vigor.
The first movement of the local Or
ganization is to join the National Drug
gistS' Association, and a definite step
looking to the accomplishment Of this
purpose will, it is understood, be taken
at the meeting in March. In the mean
time the association will recoup its
membership, and for this purpose the
initiation has been reduced to a mini
mum. The association hopes to enroll
every druggist in Wheeling and sur
rounding towns except those identified
either directly or indirectly with the
opposition.
AS stated, a simultaneous movement
is to be made by all the organized
druggists throughout the country and
the plan of procedure has been out
lined by the National Association
which will use its influence in the mat
ter. 1t is proposed to go after the
manufacturers of proprietary medi-
cines and boycott such firms as persist
in selling to cut rate stores. From the
standpoint of the association it is
thought the plan can be made effective,
but the cut rate men don't seem to be
fearful of the outcome. At any rate
there are prospects for a hot time"
arising out of the situation, and deyel-
opments will be watched with much
interest by the public generally.

STRICKEN OUT
Was the 100000. 900 Appropriation to Pay
the Spanish Government.

WASHINGTON, February 16.-Two very
sensational and unexpected things hap
pened in the House to-day during the con-
sideration of the sundry civil bill. The
paragraph carrying the appropriation of
$Z0,C00,CQ0 for payment to Spain under the
terms of the peace treaty was stricken
out upon a point of order mad by Mr..
Wheeler, of Kentucky, Democrat, who
declared that he opposed the appropria-
ton on principle and would resort to any
technicality to defeat it.
Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa. the champion of
the Nicaragua canal bill, moved to re-
commit it with instructions to report it
back with the canal bill incorporated in
ii. The motion was promptly declared u
of order, whereupon Mr.. Hepburn appeal
ed. Result, 81 ayes, 81 noes. The final
encounter will come tomorrow.

A DEMURRER FILED.

Canton, Ohio, February ia de-
murrer was filed to-day to the plea in
abatement to the indictment against
Mrs. Anna E. George. Prosecutor
Pomerene i%nterposed the demurrer to
various grounds in the plea because,
he claims, they are insufficient in sub
stance TO abate their indictment. He
said to-day that in case the demurrer
to the plea in abtement is oyerruled he
will probably file a reply to portions of
the plea, as there are several questions
which can properly be raised that way.

. Mark Chiesa, an Italian, is success
fully raising silkworms at Des Moines,
Ia. The eggs were brought from Italy
by q relative. Two years ago he made
the experiment first, hut the person
who brought the eggs carried them in
his pocket and they Matched on ship
board, so the worms. had to be thrown
into the sea. This time the person to
whom the eggs were intrusted suspend
ed them on string SO that they got
cool air on the ocean and oi.the railway
trains. Arriving here, they were put
into cold storage until the mulberry
leaves were ready for them. Then,
upon being put into warm room. they
hatched in one day. 1
OF the supposed 5000 eggs from ten
silk moths about 1000 hatched, which,
result, Mr.. Chiesa says, is better than
the average in Italy. The greatest diff
Guilty has been to find mulberry leaves
for the worms. They eat about three,
wagonloads a day, and never stop eat
ing for q minute, but eat all the time,
day and night. The worms, in devour-
ing the mulberry leaves, make a noise
like rain on the roof. By lively hunting
the food for the worms has been pro-
vided, and they are we'll developed and
healthy, about three inches long, and
are just beginning to weave their CO.
coons. 4 There seems to be no reason
why the industry should not succeed
here. Mr.. Chiesa has brought a wom-
an from italy who has had 30 years ex-
perience with silk worms, and she says
they are doing as well as. any she ever
saw. - .53s.-t s-.EFs
The experiment is the first that is
known to have been made in the west.
and is certainly the first that has been
successful. 1t has attracted as much
attention as circus in this city, and the
number of visitors is very large. The
owner is a good-natured man and he
cheerfully and proudly shows the in
dustrious 1000 to all who care to see
them.
If they turn out as we'll as they
promise to, Mr.. Chiesa will buy large
farm near this city, plant it to mulber:
ry trees and go into the business of rails.
ing silkworms and producing silk on a
large scale. From the experience he
has had in America and Italy, where his
father is silk producer, he sees no rea-
son why the industry should not be eli
tirely successful in Iowa.-N. Y. Sun.
