During the past few months, the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has ma
terlally extended the runs of the pas
senEer locomotives on through trains,
Formerly engines were changed on an
average every 100 or $50 miles 1t was
thought that the mountain grades OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would
prevent an extension CT the runs. How
ever, the experiment was made. 1t has
proved successful and reduced the
number OF locomotives formerly re-
CURED by twenty-four, which can be
used in other branches OF the service
and save the purchase of more motive
power. Under the new plan, locomo-
tives are double crewed and make from
1000 to 5000 miles a month, as against
$500 to 1000 under the former method.

London, Sept. ll.-Major Esterhazy
comments on the verdict in the Dreyfus
case saying that Dreyfus was justly
condemned as the inevitable result OF
the evidence collected by General Mer-
cier. This according to Esterhazy, bore
conviction to the minds of the judges,
and he added, the finding Of the previous
courtmartial declared Dreyfus guilty
and me innocent Continuing Ester
hazy said: II believe the sentence is in
accordance with the understanding with
the government, Dreyfus is in posi-
ton to claim the reduction of the sen
tence by one,half. The whole business
was farce, arranged in advance and
doubtless he will soon be at,liberty, ."

So far as can be ascertained, military
men are perfectly satisfied with the vor-

same time doing an act Of mercy to
Dreyfus who, they say, has sufficiently
expatiated his crime in the awful exist

aside from the general impression that
he will be pardoned in few days by
President Loubet who will find some
ground to exercise clemency.
NJ. Demange thinks the five years will
count for nothing and that Dreyfus, ac

Western New York FruIt-GrOwers
Cunning for the Tent Caterpillar.
Walcott, N. Y, May 31.-The whole
| countryside hereabouts is alive with hunt
ers engaged in shooting worms. The tar
gets are easily enough hit, and the game is
never flushed, but the hunters have by no
means the best OF it. for the worms in
crease and multiply even faster than they
are shot to death.
The worm is the larva of the codling
moth, less scientifically known as the tent
caterpillar. The yellowish-gre moth de-
posted her eggs in myriads on all the trees
of this section last fall. and as soon as
the spring warmth came they began their
transformation into grubs. Then the crubs
set to work spinning their silver webs,
and now the trees are covered with these
curious tents" which range in size from
that of hat crown to that of bushel
basket Inside of these tents the thou
sands of caterpillars, which, when full
grown. are about four inches in length.
are eating the life out of the trees.
In the past these worms have teen
known as apple tree worms They have
| been numerous at times. but never came
before in such numbers as to menace the
existence of the orchards and forests
The farmers hereabouts were warned last
| fall of their coming by the Agricultural
Department, but paid little attention 10 the
| warning When the worms began to ap-
pear this spring in such startling array the
| farmers tried various devices to destroy
them. First the trees were sprayed with
arsenic and vitriol. but the supply OF spray
ers was soon exhausted and the worms
continued to increase. Then the farmers
took to tearing down the tents" with their
hands. but the work was so much the re-
verse Of appetizing that they had to aban-
| don 1t.
Others used torches made OF kerosene
soaked rags on the end Of pole. This was
fairly effective. but slow. Then some
genius thought of shooting out the nests,
and now the whole region is popping away.
Nothing but powder is used. Shells for
this work have been hastily devised, and
can now be bought at the leading hardware
stores.
The apple belt of Western New York is
from ten to forty miles wide. extending
along the southern shore Of Lake Ontario
! from Oswego county to Lake Erie and the
Niagara River. This entire section Is now
like a huge skirmish ground; but great as
| is the slaughter the birth rate seems even
| greater. and the race between destroying
| worms and destroying men to preserve the
1899 crop of apples seems to be running In
favor of the worms.

IT MERITS ATTENTION.
A NEW PREPARATION WHICH CURES DYs.
PEPSM AND STOMACH TR0UBtES.
Remarkable CurativePr Properties


A new remedy. (which may revolu-
tionize the treatment OF stomach trou-
bles. has recently been placed before the
public. and bears the endorsement of many
leading physicians and scientific men.
The remedy Is not wonderful secret
discovery, nor patent medicine, neither
is 1t claimed to cure anything except in
digestion and stomach troubles, with which
nine tenths Of our nation are afnicted.
The remedy is in the form Of pleasant
tasting tablets or loZenges containing
vegetable and fruit essences. pure aseptic
pepsin free from animal impurities) bis
muth and Golden Seal; they are sold by
druggists generally under the name Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made with
these tablets show that they possess re-
markable digestive power, one grain Of the
active principle being sufficient to thor
oughly digest 5000 times its own weight
Of lean meat. eggs. oatmeal, or similar
wholesome foods: these tablets do not act
on the bowels like after dinner pills, nor
in fact do they act upon any particular
organ. but the manner in which they cure
all forms of Indigestion is this: They act
entirely upon the food eaten. digesting 1t
completely, nourishing every tissue and
nerve in the body; they simply perform
the work of digestion. thus giving the
weak stomach rest and assistance sufh-
cient to enable 1t to recover its normal
strength. This is the reason SO many pre-
tended cures have signally failed they do
not furnish the digestive power which Is
the one thing above all others that the
stomach of the dyspeptic lacks. and unless
that lack is supplied, it is waste Of time
to attempt to restore the enfeebled stOm-
ach by means of "tOnics," stomach bit
ters" and pills" no permanent good can
result from their use.
If the stomach can be rested and assist
ed in the work of digestion it will very
soon recover; this is the secret and the
whole secret Of the remarkable success OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. remedy prac-
tically unknown a year ago and now the
most popular, widely used dyspepsia
remedy, everywhere a success secured al
most entirely on its merits. as it has
never been extensively advertised
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are now sold
by druggists everywhere at so cts. per
package: if he hasn't them in stock he will
order them for you from his wholesale
house. They are made by the F. A.

The Senators begin a series Of two games
with the Pirates at National Park this aft
ernoon. After the Pittsburgs, comes the
Bcstons for the couple Of contests and
then Tebeau and his team of ball tossers
arrive to try their luck against the irwin
ties. With Boston and st. Louis the Sena-
tors have two tough propositions TO tackle
and all the festive fan can do is wait ana
hope But with the Pirates it will be differ
ent. The entire series is necessary to wipe
from the Senator's escutcheon the shame OF
defeat in both Decoration Day games and
it Is needless to say that the Pittsburgers
will be made to atone for their sin OF beat
ing the Washington two games in the same
day by one run each.
The games yesterday were both OF the
heart breaking kind that is responsible for
the popularity of baseball. The Senators
should have won one IL not both Of the
contests. but somehow they did not. and
their Western trip was demonstrated that
they do not need anyone TO apologize for
them. Atherton and Barry were each Civ

purchase price and both demonstrate that
Manager Irwin is a pretty good judge OF

and shone resplendent as the bright star
of both morning and afternoon. Some OF
his catches were sensational and caused
President Kerr TO curse the day when he

pitched good ball in the morning and 1t
took ten innings TO decide the result. Will

for the day was seven hits made in success

and in the field in both games. as did Cap
tain padden. The latter was presented with
a diamond pin and a pair of gold sleeve
buttons by his fellow workmen from Mar
tins Ferry, who were there in full
strength.
In the ninth inning Of the first game
Mcfarland was hit in the stomach by a
line ball and had to be carried from the
field. He was not seriously hurt. however.
and was able to view the afternoon game
from the grandstand.
Dinneen and Leev'r did the pitching in
the afternoon and the school teacher had
slightly the best of the argument The
fielding of the Senators was superior to
that of the Pirates, but the latter excelled
at the bat. The scores:

come the prerogative OF too many to per-
nit of an Armageddon between capitalists
and their slaves. We should ourselves
think it much more likely that new
phase of Christianity, the phase of abne-

produce everywhere a scene of destruction
like that which in Scotland accompanied
the change to Professionalism, civilization

ancient village life. or even the life Of the

REWARD FOR AN OUTLAW
Five Thousand Dollars offered 70
"Black Jake'sv Head.


"Black Jake'sr Head.
Tucson, Ariz, May 31.-Scores of hardy
and resolute men are searching the wild
mountain chain which forms the boundary
of Mexico and the United States for BLACK
Jake" leader Of notorious band of des-
peradoes. for whom dead or alive. the Gov
ernors of Arizona and New Mexico have
offered a reward Of $1,000.
For two years and a half BLACK Jake's''
band has been robbing and mur ring in
the two Territories.
Trains have been held up, bank safes
broken into and rified Of their cash, and
isolated stores attacked and pillaged.
Posse after posse has pursued the bandits,
but all have failed to capture them. Once
BLACK Jake's" horse was shot under him,
but he killed one Of his pursuers, captured
his horse and escaped.
BLACK Jake's" real name is Jacob En-
mons. He enlisted in the military service
at Fort whipple. near Prescott, Ariz., af-
ter he had been a cowboy in the Territories
for eleven years.
He came originally from the vicinity of
Vineland, NJ j., and the cowboys and his
comrades at the garrison say he had an
unusual education. 10
But he was born tough. He shot and
killed a barkeeper at Williams. Ariz., when
he was but twenty, and narrowly escaped
hanging.
AS a scout he was a failure, because no
one had any confidence in him. He was
left 81, 500 by a New Jersey relative in 1898,
and when he got out Of the service he spent
all the money in a month in Phoenix and
Yuma
Then he drifted down to Sonora, Mexi-
CO. and the few people who remembered
him thought he was dead until the news
came that he was at the head OF the gang
of bandits.

The wreck Of the starbuck.

San Francisco, May 31.-An investigation
into the loss of the steamer Starbuck Of
the Pacific Mail Line, which went on the
rocks of the shore Of Nicaragua about
four months ago, has been begun by the
United States local inspectors OF nuns
and boilers. Capt C. G. Bruglere. master
of the ill-fated vessel, testified that there
was no charted rock within mile OF the
reef on which she struck. and that he was
holding the usual course of steamers ply
ing between Acapulco and Panama He
told how the vessel was beached, and the
messengers and crew landed. 1t is inti-
mated that the reef which caused the dis
aster was a recent volcanic upheaval.
