Casting copper is today quoted si twelve cents a pound, which is lower ,h-n it bss been fJr months. Some O! tine mining men say that the end is no: yet, snd that before reaction sets m will drop se low ss ten cents.

lien, who was not a relative, but who
was the friend and companion of Mr..
Lorillard for several years just preced-
ing his demise.
To his widow Mr.. Lorillard be-
queathed an annuity of $4,000. To two
grandsons he left $S00,00O. The bal
ance of the estate, excepting the ia
nous Rancocas stock farm in New Jer.
sey, is left in trust to his three children,
they to have the income; the estate to
go to his grandchildren on the death of
their parents. The stock farm, valued
at 100000, is bequeathed to Mrs. AL.
lien.
1t is not the mere matter of money
which inclines the Lorillard heirs to
contest the will. Mrs. Lorillard's son
and daughters are determined that
what they consider her rights shall be
upheld, They object to any recognition
of the lother woman.
Mrs. Allen, Mr.. Lorillard's friend
ship for whom is declared to have been
a scandal at Newport by his daughters

witha charming figure and great brown

eyes. She is about 33 years of age. In
1891, when she was Lillian Barnes, she
met Mr.. Lorillard and he was capti-
waited by her beauty Soon afterwards
she went on long cruise with him, and
from that time forward they were rare
ly separated. She was the ruler of his
yacht and presided at his table when he
were of no avail.
-Four or five years ago Lillian con-
vinced Mr.. Lorillard that she should
wed. An Englishman, Lewis Allen, lit
tie known in New York. became her
husband. The ceremony that gave
Lillian Barnes the name of Allen was
performed in a New York church.
Pierre Lorillard was present and 1t Is
said gave the bride to tie husband.
Some servants acted as audience and
witnesses.
When the ceremony ended the bride
coolly nodded adieu to her husband at
the church door. She spoke to him as
one who addresses an ordinary ac-
quaintance. In truth she did not know
him very we'll Mrs. Allen entered Mr..
Lorillard's carriage and was driven
away. Allen caught train for the
West and, 1t is reported, he has oblg-
ingly died.
Mrs. Allen lives at No. II West 31st
street, the home which Lorillard gave
her years ago. Her father lives with
her Here Mr.. I,orillard, being es-
tranged from his wife, lodged when
ever he was in the metropolis.
Mrs. Alien was abroad eight months
with Lorillard when his health was
failing, and she accompanied him when
he came home to die. She was with him
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel when he
died. Mrs. Lorillard was notified that
her husband was dying and wanted to
see her. The family are divided In
their statement as to whether Mrs. Lor-
lizard went to the hotel. 1t is generally
believed she answered her dying hua-
bands summons, that she met Mrs.
Allen and that a painful scene ensued.
While the stock farm is all that Mrs.
Allen receives by her admirers will, it
is claimed that he had provided for her
very literally during the years they
were together, presenting her with
whole blocks of stocks and bonds. Her
jewels are among the finest ia New
York.
Mrs. Allen feels no doubt that the
courts will uphold her rights in the will.
She has stated that she and Mr.. Lorll-
lard were merely good friends and com
panions, and that they never met until
after Lorillard and his wife were es-
tranged.

Tried to XIII the Sheriff.

Chicago, Aug. l9.-An attempt to kill
Sheriff Alderman by an internal machine
was prevented by the watchfulness of the
sheriff's wife, says the Carmi, HI, CORE
spondent of the Chronicle. A candy bucket
was sent to Sheriff Eugene Alderman pre-
paid from Evansville, Ind. When the lid
of the bucket was removed another lid
with a handle was found inside. Mrs.
Alderman, for some unknown reason to
herself, thought best to remove the screws
and thus saved the lives of those in the
room. Besides the sheriff and his family
several visitors were in the room. Upon
the removal of the handle to the lid some
small wires were found. Then the sec
ond lid was cautiously removed, exposing
four sticks of dynamite, so arranged with
matches, cartridges and wires as to ex-
plode if it had been opened as intended.
The authorities at Evansville were notified
and special meeting of the county board
of supervisors has been called to take ac-
ton in the matter.

Won Waldersee Censured.

Berlin, Aug. l0.-Since the funeral OF
the Dowager Empress Frederick this has
been Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee' 5
week. Immediately after the interment
of the remains a chorus of criticisms Of
Won Waldersee broke forth in the press,
owing to his speech at Hanover.
Papers of the most different shades are
weary of Won Waldersee's talkativeness,
which is regarded as not only i'll bad taste
in the allusion to other nations whose
names paled in China" but as magnify
ing the Chinese campaign far beyond its
actual importance. 1t is curious fact
that many papers are discussing which
nation Won Waldersee meant as the one
whose name paled. They agree that it
could only have been Great Britain. In
deed, the reference is regarded as being so
direct as to be impolite. The anglophobe
papers, however, rejoice that Won Valdez
see expressed himself frankly" Even
these papers advise him to speak briefly

Insect Pests.

Few countries have suffered more
the introduction of insect pests than
the Hawaiian Islands. The two chief
products of these islands are sugar and
coffee, while a considerable amount Of
fruit is also grown. Along with the
imported trees came their insect ene-
mics, notably the scale insect and the
aphis. In the course of time these
increased so prodigiously that they
threatened to destroy the industries of
the country. Man is doomed to con.
slant struggle against nature and he
is often compelled, so to speak, to fight
her with her own weapons. SO 1t was
in this case. The trees were being de-
stroyed by insects; remedy: import
more insects SO in 1880 certain
ladybird (Vedalla cardinalis) was sent
over from Australia. 1t became COM
pletely naturalized, and increased pro-
digiously, feeding on the scale insects,
which it soon reduced in numbers, I'M
til they became comparatively scarce.
But there were other insect plaques
aphides and others of different orders.
The government therefore employed a
naturalist to import more insects.
These were brought from Australia,
and many of them have established
themselves and done good service. One
of the most useful is a ladybird which
feeds on the aphides, which had seri-
ously attacked the sugar canes. 1t has
done such good work that there Is
every prospect of the canes being
speedily cured.-C Chambers Journal.
