THE SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUST.

Professor A. l.. Quaintance, State En-
tomologist, says that the periodical
cicada or seventeen year locust is schedul-
ed to appear during the spring of the
present year, in number of counties of
Maryland including Hartford The sever
ity of the brood over any given territory
will naturally be variable, and nothing
definite can be stated on this point. The
insects are likely to be most numerous in
forest groves, particularly of white oak
or other woods where the natural condi-
tions have been but lit tie disturbed. High
and well drained situations, where the
soil is of rich sandy loan, seem also to
be afavorite locality. Fruit trees planted
last fall or the present spring onland that
has been but recently cleared will prob
ably be the greatest sufferers
The damage is done to the plants where
the egg is dcpositcd. The particular part
selected is usually the twigs of last years
growth. The punctures in such trees
weaken so that the twigs may be broken
off, and in those that remain the after
effect may be quite serious from the warty
and knotty-like wounds. The eggs are
mostl. deposited in the month of June
hatch. When the larvae emerge from
the tree and fall to the ground they i'm
mcdiatcly burrow below i'll some crack or
groove. thus beginning their long subter-
rancan life.
The food of the nymph Of the cicada is
the juices, which they suck from the
smaller roots of the trees and plants. The
larvae construct tight earthcn cells until
almost ready to emerge to the world
seventeen years later. lnleaving its cell,
it borcs directly upward until at or near
the surface of the ground, where it re-
mains Il short time until ready for its
hn1l transformation. Leaving the
ground usually between shutdown and
ten o'clock, it crawls to a nearby upward
| object, and i'll the course of an hour the
adult escapes by working its way out OF
the old shell through the split i'll the back
The old cases are left clinging to the OBJ
ject of support, and will be very frequent

day it is ready to enter into the full en-
ioyment fits brief aerial life of about
thirty days. The noise of the singing i:

women to-day are spending so many
years at school-until Is or 20, and
even older-they are obtaining ideas
of lite that totally unfit them to be the
wives of mechanics or of clerks upon
small salaries. No woman should feel
that she knows more than her hus-
band.

school earlier than the women under

WEST INDIAN DAYS"
SOuth Carolina Interstate and West
Indian Exposition May 10 and IL.

South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian Exposition May 10 and IL.
Charleston, April Elm projecting
the Exposition, the people of Charles
ton carefully considered the changed
conditions of the West Inlies and their
proximity to this city.
That with the rapid developments of
the South in new Industries and trade,
it should enter the field for a portion
of the fast growing commerce of Cuba
and Puerto Rico. To this end the man
ayers of the Exposition secured the
cooperation of the governments of the
above-named islands and are thus en-
abled to present to the merchants and
all interested, throughout the South
and West in the West Indian building,
a large and comprehensive exhibit of
their industries, resources and POSSIBLE
tiles. These exhibits are a revelation
to every visitor, few ever having real
lied the advancement in every line,
and the possibilities of the islands,
whose industries and resources under
past difficulties show us as these do.
1t is our desire to bring the West In
dian feature of the exposition promi-
nentlY to the attention of the bust
ness interests of the South and West
TO accomplish this, with the hearty CO.
operation of the commissioners of Cuba
and Puerto Rico, an invitation will be
extended to all trade organizations, as
we'll as all merchants of the South and
West, to meet here on Friday and
Saturday, May Is and II. The ex-
hibits can be examined, and the adj
vantages of interchange of trade with
the islands fully considered.
To this end a cordial invitation is
extended to join with us on May 16
and II, and by your presence and coun-
sci, aid in developing a trade that will
be of Importance to all parts of the
South and West. ARRANGEMENTS will
be made with the railroads for special
rates for this occasion.
1t is also contemplated to make sat
isfactory arrangements by which all
delegates or visitors, who may desire
to visit Havana on May 20, the indie
pendence Day of Cuba, to do so either
by direct steamer from Charleston. or
by rail via Tampa. to do so by spe-
c:allY low rates which will be an
nounced later.
There is also in contemplation trip
to San Juan, thence across the Island
of Puerto Rico to Ponce, where the
steamer will be again taken, going to
Santiago, thence to Havana and re-
turning from there to Charleston.

Democrats Will Continue to Monop-
Ollie Senate Floor, but Mr.. Hoar

Washington. April 2T.-The plans OF
the Senate for the week do not ex-
tend beyond continuation of debate on
the Philippine government bill, and the
consideration of minor matters when
there is no one prepared to speak on
the Philippine bill There is no pros
pect thus far for speeches in support
of that measure, and consequently all
the talk bids fair to continue to be
on the negative side of the question.
UP to the present time the speeches
have all been made by minority MEM
oers of the Philippine Committee, but
1t is stated that other Democratic SEN
ators have promised to lift their voices
IN opposition to the bill. Among them
are Messrs. Turner, Clay and Sim
mons. Senator Hoar has also made
known his intention to speak on the
Dill, but it is not expected that he will

In the committees the inquiries into
the sugar question as related to Cuba,
and into Gen. Crozier's competition with
gun carriage inventions will probably

pines will also proceed with it's inves-
tlgatlon into the condition of affairs
in the Philippines.

May Be Fought Out in Convention
TO-day-GOmpers May BE Present

Wheeling. w. Va. April 27.-The eli
max in the labor controversy between
President Shaffer of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, and President Gompers of
the American Federation, is expected
to be reached tomorrow or Tuesday
on the floor of the Amalgamated Assoc
citation convention now in session
here. T. H. Flynn, national organizer
of the Federation, is expected to ask
the privilege of the floor to answer
charges said to have been made by
Shaffer against Gompers. and the lat
ter, it is believed, will be present in
person and demand the same privi
leges.
At Mondays session of the conven-
ton the several standing committees
will make their reports, most import
scale committee. Both majority and
minority reports will be presented, the
majority recommending ratification of
the scales negotiated by Shaffer and his
cabinet with constituent companies of
the United States Steel Corporation
and the latter, while not Directing to
the terms of the scale, registering their
constitutional objections and recon-
mending that all future scales be based
on recommendations to be made by the
convention itself.
1t is expected that the convention
will be able to finish its labors and
adjourn not later than Wednesday.

Editor OF the Morning News: The
case of Mrs. Duncan, who is charged
with having killed her husband, offers
an interesting subject for public con-
temptation; the killing is not denied
her own statement warrants belief
that she, and she alone committed the
act; but as to the motive there is
doubt. Is Mrs. Duncan guilty of muir
der as defined by the code? Possibly
not, but is she innocent of crime? Ger
tainly mott
1t is here that the strength of the
contention of those who advocate the
discarding of the death penalty comes
in. No reasonable man would hesitate
to find verdict of guilty if the terri
BILE death penalty did not stare him in
the face, and interfere with his rea-
soIing power, warping his judgment
and preventing a reasonable decision
1t does not seem that the physical act
of fainting should have any influence

- NCiulNt VI guilty. WHICH NOulQ re-
suit in her confinement in a prison
where modern practice prevailed, would
be boon to her, as well as to the COM
munity.
The case of Batson in Louisiana is
also apropos, and points a moral. In
this instance a family is poisoned, the
evidence is conclusive, but being only
circumstantial there are those who
shrink from the application of the death
penalty, and who desire clemency. Like
the case in Georgia, no one asks for. or
desires, acquittal. 1t is time for us
to recognize the inevitable trend of
public sentiment which calls for modifi-
cation, and radical change in treat
ment of society's outcast with a view
to the better protection of human life,
and the elevation of public morals.
The change is certain to come; the
question is how long will the conser-
vative be able to hold it in check?
The very general recognition of the
evil Of war and the need that il should
vanish and cease to be, indicates also
that we are learning the value and the
sacredness of human Me, and we must
conform our practice to our code so
as to impress these truths upon the
minds Of the young.
Thou shalt not kill" If we accept
this as binding how can we take life
of any human being? The closing re-
marks of Mr.. Stovall to the BOYS of
Bethesda on the blessing of peace, are
evidence of the change which is talk
ing place in our estimate of what con
stitutes adequate motive for living; he
has pointed out the true way in which
men must walk. 1t will be well for
us when this becomes the general
teaching in the schools.
War. and capital penalty. are two
stumbling blocks in the pathway OF
human progress; they should be re-
moved.

The promise of relief was made last

was comforting with the members of

pointed by the Republican Club of

only preliminary to the important one

said when pressed for some promise
of relief. that in a month from now
prices will have sought their former
level, or close to it, and that that level
will be found soon thereafter. l can
