The Sunday School picnic in
Dittemore's grove near the James
school house yesterday afternoon
was attended by several hundred
people and was complete success
from first to last. The weather
could not have been finer. A
program of short addresses, songs
and recitations was rendered and
then a basket picnic dinner was
indulged in and there was an
abundance for all. Swings and
innocent games occupied the after
noon and in the evening the pic
nickers returned to their homes
delighted with the pleasures of
the day.

BIG SHIPMENTS
OF CATTLE,

A. g. Putnam shipped the first
of the week another bunch of rs
head of cattle TO Kansas, where
they will be fed until in condition
to market in the fall. This makes
over 200 head he has shipped
this year from Ebert county.
Many of our stock men, on &c.
count of the short hay crop now
expected, are reducing their herds
to as low u point as possible,
though they admit the outlook
for feed is better in this county
than almost any other section Of
the state. The cattle going out
of the county are in very fair con-
dititon and satisfactory prices are
being paid for them.

WHERE FLIES
COME FROM,

During the past week or ten
days the house fly has made its
appearance in large numbers, and
the troubles Of the housewife and
the office man as well have begun,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
only salvation is careful screen
ing of the windows and doors,
scrupulous cleanliness and sup
Elemental use of fly paper. Sci
entists hold out some encourage
ment that the time may come, in
cities at least, when flies will be
unknown. but this will only be
when automobiles are universal,
and when horses have been for
hidden in the cities, as it is chiefly
about stables that flies are pro-
pagated and matured, a single
place OF this kind often supplying
flies for whole neighborhood.
One advantage of the tall office
building is that the upper floors
are practically free from flies, as,
for some reason, they do not ap-
pear to get up SO high.
There are several species Of
flies commonly found in houses;
the most numerous is the one
known as the musca domestics,
a medium-sizcd, grayish fly, with
its mouth parts spread out at the
tip for sucking up liquid sub
stances.
This fly cannot bite, although
most people have the impression
that il does. The belief is caused
by the occurrence of another fly,
known as the stable fly, which
differs from the common house
fiy in the important particular that
its mouth parts are formed for
piercing the skin. This is, per-
haps, the second in point of abun-
dance to the house fly in most
portions of the northeastern states.
The tiny flies one sees arc OF
another species and are known as
"homalomylas canicularis." :" Most
people suppose that that these are
the young of the house fly, ana
suppose that flies grow after gam
ing their wings, which is not the
case. Then there is thegreenboltle,
or bluebottle, which breeds on de-
cayed animal tissue.
Tbe average number OF eggs
laid by an individual fly is about
| l120, and as the fly reaches ma
turity in 10 or 12 days, the enor-
NOUS numbers present toward th'
end of the summer are very read
lily accounted for, as they repre-.
sent the progeny of 10 or l.
generations. The life round o.
the fly is about of follows: Eggs
from deposition to matching, one
third of a day; matching of larya Z
first molt, one day; first to secon'
molt, one day, second mott u
pupation, three days; pupatlon Z
issue of adult, five days; repre-
senting a period of about ten day
in all.
The most effective enemy o
the ily is fungous disease know
as the empusina muscaue, wnicl
carries off flies in large numbers
particularly toward the close o
the season.

An Honor for the Dewey
School.
From the Castle Rock journal.
The following letter from Ad-
miral Dewey explains itself.
MAsILA BAY,
March %, 1899.

Mr.. Frank D. Ball,
Castle Rock,
Dear Sir:
beg to acknowledge the receipt Of your letter
OF January slst informing me that one Of the
schools of your county had been named in my
honor.
wish to express my appreciation OF the
honor and hope TINT some day II may be my
pleasure to visit the school.
Yours Very Truly,
GEoRsE DEWEY.
The letter has been given to
the Dewey school, and viii be
framed and hung upon the wall
of the room. 1t is doubtful if
any school in the land possesses a
memento that will give more zest
to the study of the history of the
Spanish war by coming generations
than our neighbors on the north.
The school may well be proud of
its name, proud of its namesake,
and proud of this material evil
dence of the great admiral's
appreciation.

ST. JOHNS NEW PRESIDENT.
Brother Abdas Appointed Head OF
of the Institution.

Gabriel Marie, Superior General of the
Christian Brothers, whose headquarters are
in Paris, has appointed the Rev Brother
Abdas President of ST. Johns College. to
succeed the Rev. Brother Fabrician, who
was recently deposed. Brother Abdas ar
rived here yesterday morning from Balti-
more, Md. and Immediately assumed the
duties of his office. Brother Fabrician and
the presidents of numerous colleges con-
Quoted by the Christian Brothers in this
country were not deposed because they
taught the classics, as has been supposed
The superior general has promulgated an
order among the brothers in the United
States, instructing them that the classical
course is TO be taught as formerly, without
any modification. 1t is now said that the
presidents were retired because of another
and distinctly separate internecine strife be-
tween the brothers of the two countries, who
regard il as a private affair and have as
siduously and successfully maintained its
secrecy.
Brother Abdas. the new President of St
Johns College, has been connected with
that institution before, having been there
with Brother Tobias from 1888 to 1890 and
with Brother Fahrican from 1898 TO 1896
when he acted as vice president, and on
ether occasions. With regard 10 the cur
Abdas says il will be identical with those
formerly prescribed in the catalogues. No
changes. unless such as the best interests
of the students and the requirements of
the patrons render absolutely necessary,

Monday, September IL. New students de-
string to apply for admission to the COL
lege for the next scholastic year may
make application at the college beginning
on Tuesday, September s. when they will
be examined and classified according TO
their attainments.
The faculty as SO far appointed is as
follows Brother Abdas. President;
Brother Georvanus, Vice President; Broth
er Denis. Brother Gordian, Brother Ara
tor, Brother Anthony, and Brother Paul.
Several assistant professors have been en-
ployed and more brothers are expected
to arrive during the next two weeks.

AN APPEAL FOR PORTO RIcANs.
Archbishop Corrigan Asks Aid for
Hurricane Sufferers

Hurricane Sufferers.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Archbishop Cor
rigan has sent out the following circular
to all the clergy under his direction:
"A strong and touching appeal has
reached US from the Bishop of Porto Rico
in behalf of his stricken people. He
writes: The whole world has read Of the
awful calamity which has befallen the
island of Porto Rico within the last week
A hurricane of unusual violence has de-
vastated the country, bearing death and
desolation everywhere, and planting the
seeds of famine in "a land which but a
year ago bade US an enthusiastic welcome.
AS Bishop of nearly million souls, as a
father of this afflicted people, / am deep
ly grieved, and my heart is sad when /
read the accounts Of misery and want sent
me by my priests. The latest reports tell
us that l, 600 are dead, 100, 600 hungry, one
half Of whom are homeless, are the result
of this visitation
Charity by which we are made one In
Christ Jesus, our lord, with our suffering
brethren in faith is re-enforced in the
present instance by the claims of common
citizenship. The Porto Ricans are now
Americans. Our Government is acting with
truly admirable energy on forwarding aid
10 the starving inhabitants OF Porto Rico;
private citizens are fastening to help the
holy work by subscriptions. The Church
must not be found wanting in such an
emergency. To furnish our people an op-
portunity of contributing each his mite to
this worthy object / hereby direct that a
collection be taken up for this purpose in
all the churches of this diocese on Sun
day, September 10, and that the result
be sent. as early as possible, to the
chancery Office, whence II viii be forward
ed at once 10 the right reverend Bishop
OF Porto Rico for distribution"

ARMY TRANSPORTS NEEDED.

officers of the Transportation Depart
ment of the Army are continuing their ef-
forts to procure available transports to be
used in carrying troops TO the Philippines.
There are sufficient vessels on hand to take
from the United States by October all of
the troops OF the first ten volunteer regi-
ments except 2,400, and the Quartermast ter
General is now endeavoring to secure
proper ships to accommodate that number
of soldiers. officers of the department
stationed at Seattle have been directed to
inspect the Roanoke and Port Stevens
with a view to their charter. The former
vessel belongs to an American firm and
the owners, who are residents of Seattle,
are insisting that the vessel be fitted ont
at Seattle instead of San Francisco. This
was done in the case of the st. Paul, but
there was delay in consequence and
QuartermaSter General Ludington is not
inclined to aceede TO the request The Poit
Stevens is an English ship and a sister
ship of the Port Albert which has already
been chartered 1t will be available i'm
mediately on arrival in port, which will
probably be in few days. The depart
ment is also negotiating for the charter OF
the steamers Havana and Mexico Of the
Ward Steamship Line. The owners of the
vessels claim that they can reach Manila
in thirty-eight days from New York and
that the capacity of the vessels Is 500
men each. 1t is proposed to secure them
with view of sending several of the regi-
ments of additional volunteer organization
from New York. Should they be caarter-
ed transportation will then be on hand for
5000 troops from New York, as it is pro-
posed to also utilize the Thomas, Meade,
and Logan now fitting up in the East, their
aggregate capacity being about 5000
troops.

GAINESVILLE. Ohio, Aug. 2S.-The sec

delegates to the State convention to be held
on Wednesday does not augur so well for
the candidacy of John r. Mclean for Gov

day witnessed the arrival of the candidate:
and the delegates who will have the real say
in the matter. All aspiTants for the guber-
material nomination are now here, and each
asserts that he is in the race to stay. A
statement published in the local newspapers
that most of the candidates in the field
against Mclean had withdrawn from the
contest brought out indignant denials.
Among these is Charles NJ Haskell. who
takes special affroDt at the withdrawal OF
his name through the columns of Mclean s
paper without his knowledge and consent.

publican Secretary of State; former Mayor

tonight that their names will be presented

Col. James Kilbourne, McLean's most
dangerous competitor arrived at a
late hour tonight. and his stock advanced
few points. 1t is agreed generally that
the estimate OF his strength by the Nc
Lean bureau has been far too low. We'll
known Democrats are here from all paI IS

honor of Mclean on his arrival in the city

despatch was received at the War De-
partment yesterday from General Davis,
Military Governor of Porto Rico, stating
that LOCO tons of supplies week will be
necessary to keep the Porto Ricans from

s1,500,000 to support the islanders until
they can raise new crops. The cable re-
eeived yesterday follows:
San Juan dc Porto Rico, Aug 26, Is99
Adjutant General, Washington:
I hope the relief supplies will be confined to
the foods medicines, and clothing heretofore spe-
cited The most pressing need is food and the ag-
gregate cost Of all that viii be required to bridge
over the period until supply of fruits and
vegetables are grown viii be an enormous sum-
perhaps reaching one and a half million dollars
While thousands of families were left homeless
their houses were generally made OF poles and
thatched. The places where the destruction was
greatest are far in the interior, reached only by
pack mules 1t will be next to impossible TO
transport lumber TO these regions. Such lumber
as has been shipped viii have TO be used near
the coast, and the people whose houses were
blown away must replace them with the same ma
terial as that destroyed which they are doing,
and will do, if the hungry are fed If the char
liable people of the United States relieve the
hunger Of all who would famish a vast work will
have been accomplished and all that think we
should be expected to attain. ! repeat former
request for GOO tons of food weekly until fur
ther notice. While do not want to discourage
efforts TO restore dwellings, | think il should not
be attempted until it is that starvation viii
be prevented. Would like to have estimate from

plies will be made today, when several
