WILL BE GRASSHOPPER YEAR.
Agricultural Department Predicts Unusual
Injury From the Pests.

Agricultural Department Predicts Unusual
Injury From the Pests.
1t is not generally known that in
connection with its efforts to offset the
ravages of pests the Agricultural De-
partment has learned to forecast tho
plaques of forthcoming seasons. From
certain signs discovered by its agents
in Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and the
other States of that region, for exam
pie. the chief entomologist, L. o.
Howard, has concluded that the com
ing.summer will be marked by unusual
injury from grasshoppers. This is
calculated from the continuance of GER
tain climatic conditions which are
known to breed abnornally numerous
swarms of the ''hoppers. -
The department is thus enabled to
warn the agriculturists i'll the infected
region and prevent large portion of
the injury the insects would otherwise
cause. This year an expert will give
all his time to studying the conditions
under which grasshoppers breed, and
the chief entomomlogist will then en-
deavor to find some preventive which
will exterminate the pest before the
grasshoppers become capable of injur-
ing the crops.

The British Consul at New Orleans Asks
Protection of the Police Ant9pIities.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires,
New Orleans, La, March 19.-George
Van Sittart, British consul at New Orleans.
declares his life and property are in danger
from the Beers and Boer sympathizers in
the city, and has appealed TO the mayor and
chief of police for protection. He says
anonymous Letters have grown much more
numerous and threatening of late, and that
dangerous and suspicious men constantly
stand around his consular office, as. well as
his house, contemplating, he believes, an
attack on him. He asked, therefore, that
a police force be stationed at both places.
Chief of Police Iuurnee promised to in
yestigate and, if there are any good grounds
for Mr. Van Sitturt's fear, the request for
protection will be granted. Police pro-
lection has been recently granted the British
mule stations here at the request of the
British offices and Secretary of State Hay.

1t Was Caught in Manila hay by VIII
nington soldier.
Fred. c. Mammele yesterday received an
odd present from his brother, Harry Nam
melle, also of this city, who is now in the
United States marine service in the Philip
pines. The gift comprised an octopus and
two sea horses, none of which, however,
are as large us their names imply.
The octopus is about six inches long and
is very young. 1t was caught by Harry
Mammcle recently while he was bathing in
Manila Buy. Al the time he did not know
what it was, bur it had such an odd appear
ance that he caught ii, using only his hands,
and suon learned from friends that it was
II baby octopus. It is perfectly formed and
II quite a curiosity, more so. in fact than
the sea horses. Frederick Mamneln is pre-
serving the octopus in alcohol and it is at
tracing much attention.

COUGHED HIS VOICE BACK.
1t Had Been Lost for Is Years, Due to n
Piece of Tooth Lodging in His Throat.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Columbus, o., March 10. Eighteen years
ago yesterday r. G. Davis, resident of
this city. lost his voice. He was then bass
singer of some note in the choir of church
at Indianapolis. His misfortune refused to
yield to the treatment of several of the most
noted specialists of the country. They
treated him for asthma, catarrh and all
kinds of throat diseases, but without afford
ing him any relief.
Yesterday Mr.. Davis was seized with
violent fit of coughing and elected a small
substance, which proved to be bit of
tooth, which he had unconsciously swal-
lowed. The removal of this obstruction,
which had found secure lodging place in
a little pocket in the nsophagus, immedi-
ately restored his voice.

Meadows Badly Washed.

A farmer who owns considerable

that he never know his or his neigh

and washed by floods as they have
been this winter. In many places deep
cutters are made and the soil and sod
washed away. This was due, he thinks,
to the fact that the ground was not
frozen, and was in q very soft condi-
tion. 1t will be difficult matter to
have these gulleys and holes filled in

DELAWARE-JERSEY TROLLEY.
Project Depends Upon Bill Pending
Before the New Jersey Legislature.

Project Depends Upon Bill Pending
Before the New Jersey Legislature.
A New Jersey Delaware trolley route
is projected, but whether it materializes
depends upon the passage of a bill now
pending before the New Jersey Legisla-
ture permitting the carrying Of freight,
as we'll as passengers, by trolley. Under
the laws of Delaware trolley lines in
this State can carry freight and ex-
pressage, the same as n steam railroad,
but in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
the conditions differ and the trolley
lines can only carry passengers,
1t is likely that, should the New
Jersey bill become law, trolley line
will be built the entire length of the
State between Wilmington and Lewes;
at Wilmington the freight cars will be
ferried across the river and run to
Camden for the Philadelphia market)
and New York, via trolley, through
New Jersey. BY this means freight
and passengers could be transported
between all points in Delaware and all
points in Now Jersey, also to the other
States bordering on those two States.
