GATHERING A LARGE ARMY,
Bishop McCnbe Sees Hard Work Be-
fore the POMers


New York, July 19.-Bishop McCabe of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, who is
intimately associated with the Foreign
Mission Board, said to-day;
II have not the slightest doubt that the
Chinese are gathering together an army
Of $4,000 men. In fact. those reports coin
eide exactly with information that 1 have
been receiving from the Foreign Mission
Board and through the different available
sources. This means that we are to have
the most stupendous war of the age.
When inhamed by passion, the Chinese
are the most cruel and vengeful savages
in the world. Add TO this their fanatcism
and their numbers and you can readily
understand the gigantic task that all mis-
Tondry workers realize the Powers have
on hand to restore order in the Chinese
empire "

over 24O Species

A recent work on gnats, or mosquitoes,
by Mai George VI. Giles an English in
vestigator names over $40 different spe-
cies. OF these the culex varieties com
prise about three fourths. These are dis
tinRuished from the anopheles, or mals-
ria bearing mosquitoes. With the ex-
ception of the polar regions It Is said that
not at all extensive land surface on the
globe is free from mosquitoes. In North
America there are no less than forty-one
culex species.
As rule the oulex is soberly colored,
although under the lens he shows elab-
crate and beautiful marking. Most of
them have no definite spots on the wings,
as distinguished from the notified
winged snopheles. Such distinctions OF
the culex varieties are noted as varying
colors Of thorax and abdomen and knee
spotted. The males are distinguished by
having plumed antennae. while the fe-
males have their antennae nearly bare,
or with tufts OF hoir at the base.

Kent County Court Decides That the

Dover, Del, May 4.-The Kent county
court of General Sessions today gave a
unanimous decision that Dr. Thomas c.
Moore, charged with using money to in
fuence Elijah M. Gregory to register as
a qualified voter, could not be tried at
this term of court.
The decision was adverse to the mo-
tion made yesterday by Attorney Gen.
eral White. The judges decided that the
words ''next court" in DIR. Moore's bail
bond did not mean the present term of
court.
Walter H. Hayes of Wilmington. pre-
sented an able argument in behalf of the
claim that DIR. Moore was held for the
October term. DR.. Moore was in Dover
today, but did not appear in the court
room.
Attorney-General White argued that
the information against DIR. Moore was
filed and the latter arrested during a re
cess of the court last week, which made
it possible to have held the defendant
for the present term.
