parnsitic Insecta.


A certain authority has stated that a
single female louise may become the
grandmother of 10000 in eight weeks
time. Some other parasitic insects are
said to breed even more rapidly. There
Is but one way to exterminate them,
and that is to kill the first one as quick
~ as possible before 1t has an opportu-
nifty of breeding. This Is not so diff
cult II one pays attention to the matter,
and as soon as their presence is sus-

for them, of which there are many, al

ALICE FURNACE
 BEING REPAIRED Difficult Work Will Cost Sixty
 Thousand Dollars, AND COVER SEVERAL WEEKS Big Bed of Iron to be Blasted-Three Hundred Thousand Brick Will
 be Required in the Work
 Contemplated
AND COVER SEVERAL WEEKS

The work of repairing the Alice Furnace of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, is in progress.
 Practically the furnace Is being recon structed and the difficult and costly work is under the immediate direction of War Shook, the superintendent and prin- cipal engineer. It is a heavy undertaking, and its completion will require several weeks of constant effort.
 A huge bed of solid iron four or five feet thick must be blasted out and owing to the difficult and necessarily slow pro- cess of drilling through such mass of metal this work alone can hardly be fin- ished before the middle of August The lining of the stalk will require 190,00O brick, and 10000 additional brick will be otherwise required. The brick are obtained at Portsmouth, Ohio.
 The cost of this work on the Alice fur mace is expected to amount to $50, 900 or more, and added to that is the loss of the daily output of pig iron. So the under- taking will be an expensive one for the Tennessee Company. For Superintendent Shook it will be especially laborious since he intends himself to direct all the en- gineering work. The responsibility upon him is, 1t need scarcely be said, very heavy; but he is a master of his work, and one of unusual capability.

Virginian Who Thinks He Could Gap
 ture Will Golson

H. N. Wills of East Stone Gap, Va, reads the papers, perhaps; but if so, he gets hold of only back numbers, as the following letter which he wrote to the chief of police of this city would seem to indicate:
 East Stone Gap, Va, June 25, 1900. "Chief of Police of Birmingham, Ala.
 Please tell me if the reward is good for Will Golson (colored), who is wanted for murder of Sheriff Warnock. If the $1, 200 re- ward is on deposit. I think I can trail him down in very short time if the re- ward is good. l will pay you for your trouble out of the reward, and you can hold this as a guarantee for your money. So write me at once. Yours truly,
 HI. N. WILLS" Upon the receipt of the letter yesterday Chief Austin directed Clerk Rowlett to re- ply and inform Wills that Golson was hanged here on the 9th of February last for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Warnock and was therefore no longer wanted by the state of Alabama.

BRILLIANT OPERA
 AT LAKEVIEW PARK
Principals and Chorus in Excellent Form Matinee This Afternoon and a
 Performance Tonight.

The second performance of the Elite Opera Company at Lakeview last night was even better than the first. The chorus has settled down to work, and their hand ling of Chimes of Normandy would have been creditable to a professional troupe.
 Little Miss Scruggs increases her popu- larity with each appearance, and last night as "Germaine" was again greeted with hearty applause.
 MT. Washburn's rendering of his solo in the first act, Joy My Heart" was a fea- ture of the performance. The range and sympathetic qualities of his voice never showed to better advantage.
 MT. Mountjoy Walker has already be- come a favorite His comedy last night was more comic than before in spite of the fact that he carries a bandaged hand as result of a severe bruise received from the electric light switch on the first night Mr. Walker insists that the failure of the lights on Monday night was due to the amount of current he absorbed himself, and cites the contrasted excellence of the lights last night proof
 The acting of MT. Lorenzo LuclSie is de- serving of especial mention. He enacted the character of the old miser, ''Gaspard" one of the most difficult roles to carry, having little music to assist him. His interpreta. tion of the part was a surprise to his friends, and brought to light an extra ordinary dramatic talent.
 Between acts of the opera tonight, Miss Vesey will sing, by special request, the Boating Song," the music to which was composed by herself for a particular oc- casion, and which has never been sung in public by anyone else.
 The company is rehearsing diligently on "Erminie" and La Mascotte,' both of which will be put on shortly.
 There will be two performances today, the regular one at night, and a matinee at p. m.
 This will be the only matinee given by the Elite Opera Company, and some spe- cial features will be introduced.
