AMERICAN DERBY IS
TO Be RUN TODAY
Three-Year-Old Classic Will
Be Run Over Heavy Track.
Thirteen Colts to Start in Chicago
Heno Is Favorite-The Probable
Jockeys and Odds.

CHICAGO. June 20-Reticence and
nervousness were the marked character
istics of the trainers of Derby candi-
dates at Washington Park today. The
finishing touches were put on those
marked as sure starters in tomorrow S
big race.
Heno, Arsenal, Pentecost Bells Com
moner. and Clearwater were all given
morning work. Arsenal seemed free and
without the slightest trace of lameness
from his long journey from New York
Pentecost, the second choice, is said
to have shipped badly from New York.
He worked mile in 1855. approximately
Bells Commoner, now the mainstay
of the Western contingent, worked but
little. and was then sent mile in about
1852.
Cruzados, the Baldwin entry, reported
to have been cut down and said by out
siders and rail birds to have been
scratched, is on the list. Trainer Spiers.
of the Baldwin stable, declined to say
today that Cruzados was out of the
Derby
1t now seems certain that the Derby
will be run over a slow and perhaps
heavy track. A drizzling rain this af-
ternoon soaked through. and If 1t con-
tiDues all night the horses may run to-
morrow on a course that will be deep in
mud
Thirteen horses are entered on the
card. The horses with the weights,

Wanted Separate Vote on Bridge.
When Chairman Cannon. of the Com
mittee on Appropriations called up the
conference report in the House, Mr..
Rixey Dem, Va.) said that although
he disliked to do SO he would object. un-
less a separate vote could be had in the
House on the Senate amendment pro-
viding for the construction of Mem
orial Bridge across the Potomac.
Mr.. Cannon stated that that was one
of the propositions upon which the con-
ference had not agreed, and said that a
vote could be had then as well as at any
time, if it was to be taken on the prop
osition.
Mr.. Rixey thereupon withdrew his OBJ
lection, but it was renewed by Mr.. Pat
terson Dem. Tenn.), and accordingly
the report went over until today.

as important preventives, are three,
namely. destruction by poisons. by fumi-
CATION with poisonous gases. and by trap
ping. The only poison that has given
very satisfactory results is a PHOSPHORUS
paste. also sold in the form of pills. 1t
probably consists OF sweetened flour paste
containing phosphorus, and is spread on
bits OF paper or cardboard and placed in
the runaways OF the reaches.
1T has been used very successfully in
the Department of Agriculture to free
desks from Croton bugs, numbers of the
dead insects being found in the drawers
every day during the time the poison was
kept about. y very simple form of trap
consists of any deep vessel or jar against
which a number of sticks or 'whalebones'
are placed and bent over so that they pro-
ject into the interior of the vessel for
few inches. The vessel is partially filled
with stale beer or ale, n liquid for which
reaches seem to have a special fondness.
In the morning thee vessels are filled
with great quantities of dead and dying
reaches. which have climbed up the in
clined sticks and slipped off into the ves-
sci. We have had fair success with this
trap against the black roach in Washing
ton. but against the more wary and ac-
tive Croton bug it is comparatively use
less. For the cockroaches, a trap of this
sort is more advisable IN private houses
than the almost ineffective and trouble
some insect powders and poisoned bait.
There are a number of species Of ants
often occurring in houses in this city.
One of these, the little red ant, has be-
come thoroughly domesticated and passes
it's entire existence in houses having
its nests in the walls or beneath the
flooring and usually forming its new col
onies in similar favorable situations.

ances in houses, namely the little black
ant, and the pavement ant. These ants

fact of their presence and their faculty
for getting into articles of food Hav-
ing once gained access to the stores of
eatables. the news of the discovery is at
once conveyed to the colony and in an
incredibly short time the premises are
swarming with these unwelcome visitors"
The quickest and most effective way of
Kidding the premises of ants is to locate
the nest, when this is possible. and de-
stroy the inmates with boiling water
That it is possible TO drive ants away
from household supplies by the use of re-
pellants is asserted by a Washington lady
who has been much troubled in the past
with these pests. Her plan. which she
says has always given complete satisfac-
tion. consists in placing gum camphor,
either free or wrapped loosely in paper,
in pantry, sugar barrel, or other situa-
tion infested with ants. The odor of the
camphor seems to be very distasteful to
them and they promptly leave the prem
ise..
There is not much that need be said
about remedies for house flies. y careful
screening of windows and doors during
the summer months. with the supplement-
ary use of sticky fly paper. is a method
known to everyone. and there seems to be
little hope in the near future OF much re-
lief by doing away with the breeding
places. A single stable in which horse
is kept will supply house flies for an ex-
tended neishborhood.
People living in agricultural communi-
ties will probably never be rid OF the
pest. but in cities. with better methods of
disposal of garbage and with the lessen

result in a diminution of the numbers of
the house fly, and. indeed. most insects
are less attracted to the premises of what
is known as the old-fashioned housekeeper
than to those of the other kind.

time 1 spoke to him, and as he followed
me about from statue to medallion and
from medallion to bust he tenderly en-
braced a large tortoise shell cat that had
lounged in from the rear premises. When
the cat, whose name was Giannino, or
Johnny. reclined in dangerous proximity
to Canova's overfed Graces, Foscola,
the lad. laughed joyously. He no
braaka," he called in happy confidence
from behind the emaciated calico portiere
that veiled the domestic mysteries of The
establishment. And as Johnny arose,
brushed his way between a Hermes and
a Blessed Virgin, and, by the special
providence that watches over the down
sittings and uprisings of cats, descended
to the floor in safety, his (Foscolos. not
Johnnys) face was wreathed in tri-
umphant smiles.
Foscolo showed me the dark cellar
where the statuary is made in clumsy
gelatine molds. into which the liquid
plaster is poured. The contrast between
a butterfly and it's abandoned chrysalis is
not sharper than that between the ex
quisite forms and these nude, brown
shells. The making of the gelatine molds
is delicate matter, for upon the exact
ness with which it is executed depends
the excellence of the completed work.

often show for WOODEN or fur garments
gives these insects a much more general
interest than any other household pest.
Not only are they a source of great an

matters might otherwise remain at low

In conversation with a Times reporter
on the depreciation of insects, Prof. l.. o.

moths is to secure a number OF paste

as to seal up the box completely and leave
