warning against the white ant is
issued by the agricultural department,
which has had some experience of it's
own with the little lest right here in
Washington. Prof Marlatt relates
that the flooring Of the United States
national museum has been undermined
annuaHy for quite period by a colony
of white ants, which it is impossible
to locate. Eventually the difficulty
had to be met by replacing the wood
en- floor by cement. A vault containing
some valuable documents and records
belonging to the agricultural DEPART
ment was opened a while ago, and il
was found that all the contents were
thoroughly consumed and destroyed by
ants. Several wooden buildings in
Washington have had to be rebuilt on
account of the work of these insects.
An accumulation of books and papers
belonging to the state of Illinois was
thoroughly ruined by them, as was a
school library in South Carolina. The
most effective remedy is a cement floor.

nance by Estelle Hampstead Manning.
Published by the Neale Publishing
Company, Washington, D. G.
Miss Manning announces that her
story is told from old family love letters
written during the exciting events of the
baronial feuds of 1884. The tale is one
of war and love, with much of horror, and
here and there a thrill, but, in truth a
dreamy sort of novel which one lays
down after reading and wonders if he
has lust come out of a trance.

THE COLLEEN BAWN."
Excellent Entertainment Prepared by
 Catholic Women's Association.

Four costume houses are competing for the privilege of furnishing cos tunes for the drama, 'sThe Colleen BaWn,' which is to be presented at City hall on St Patrick's night. This production will be dressed by the best house of the four, and when the costumes arrive the cast. as well as the people who attend the performs ance, will be more than pleased. That it will be one of the best anna teur performances that has been given in this city is now assured, for the members of the cast are wing with each other to make each character 8 decided success. The play itself is an interesting one and when you stop to consider that it was one of Dion Boucicault's first successes, you will wonder how any amateurs can at- tempt to produce it You will won der more on St Patricks night when you witness the production. for it will be one of the prominent features of the celebration of that great Irish holiday. Strict orders have been is- sued to allow no one to stand up in the hall during the production and these orders were issued more em- piAnIlSdliy uecauSe laSI SL IatflcK night there were hundreds standing I'D around the hall If you buy your ticket now you will be assured of a seat, because only the seating capac- ity of the house will be sold. As it looks now from the sale that is going on every seat will be sold before the night of the performance. If you want to be carried back to the old fa- miliar scenes of old Ireland, if you want to see the beautiful Irish col Teen and the rollicking gossoon. if you want to gaze once more on the old tithe proctor, if you care to wander over the rivers and valleys of famil- iar spots in the "oid land" you have chance to do so on St Patrick's night when "The Colleen Bawn' will be presented.

Judge Peasley held city court to- day and fined Daniel Hanley and Frank Davis $5 each for intoxication. The costs went with the fines ill each case.
 James Shearon pleaded not guilty to betrayal and his counsel, Attorney Lawlor, after short interview with him, waived examination. Then came the question of bond. Shearon has been under a bond of $500, but Prosecutor Durant argued for larger one whilei Attorney Lawlor thought S100 would suffice MT Durant re- piled that the offense was punishable by five years i'll the state prison under the statute upon which the complaint was drawn up, and he thought bond of $1,000 would fit the case.

the streets, in the hotel lobbies and cafes,

But particularly does it stand out in the

point l made for after my coming.
From the foot of the way there isn't
much external change to be noted. To
be sure. there is new balcony in the
centre of the pie, facing west. One time
there was no balcony here. but a Con-

zlingly packed as junk shop. And here

Spofford wasn't around. Mr.. Hutcheson
was even more impressiyely learned than
the librarian. Mr.. Spofford and Mr..
Hutcheson, | believe, are still in the Con-
gressional Library, but the Congressional
Library is no more in the Capitol. There
is a broad balcony now, and here young
gentlemen, holding fast to their hats, and
young ladies, with wind-b blown hair, are
looking west along the long line of mall.
