among them. He was stern and brave
soldier on the battlefield, but in social
hours was something of a Bohemian.
On the night of his arrival at Gen. Will
sons camp the general was tempo
rarily absent and the colonel and his
old friends celebrated their reunion.
"The next morning the colonel went
to the generals headquarters to report
for duty. 1t was in August, and the
general, in white duck, entirely divest-
ed of military emblems, was keeping
cool in hammock where he was dill
gently studying a Typographical map.
Somehow the colonel, who had never
met Wilson, got it into his head that
this youth was newspaper corre-
spondent and. so believing, he did not
hesitate to address him Familiarity, say
ing that he had arrived only the night
before and had, he feared, tarried too
long at the wassail bowl.

that Gen. Wilson is very strict about
that sort of thing

possible emergencies at any hour

would betray me?'

sponded the general, but should adj

before reporting
"The colonel took his advice and
after awhile returned. When he dis
covered that the youth he had seen In
the hammock was in reality the dash

worse condition than he had been the
night before, but the general put him
at his ease after exacting a pledge that
he would not drink again, except on a

The VOW was rigidly kept.

To Enllghten Voters

Secretary of the Commonwealth
Grest is preparing to advertise for the
information of the voter at the coming
election two proposed amendments to
the State Constitution. One amends
section 10 of article 81, and provides
that discharge Of jury for failure
to agree or other necessary cause
shall not work acquittal. The other
amends section 7 of article 5 by re-
curing that special or local laws being
introduced into the legislature must
first be submitted to a popular vote
in the locality interested, and adopted
by majority of the voters. If they
are adopted at the next election they
must again pass the legislature, and
again be submitted to the people at
the election in November 1903.

Cost Of Martinique Horror to Papers.

The public has no conception at all
what the Martinique disaster is cost
ing the news papers. The average
man pays little attention to the
especial cable " lines and reads the
stirring news without thought to
the cost of it. When it is known
that cable messages from Fort de
France cost $a.I5 word and urgent
messages $6.45 for every word, some
conception can be had Of the cost OF
covering this calamity. But this is
not all. There are the tugs, the
special men and the photographers.
All this mounts into the thousands,
but, after all, the big papers in New
York and Philadelphia feel that it is
worth it, and no expense has been
spared to get this immense story.

COLONEL KEPT VOW.
How Gen. Wilson Cured a Bibulous
Fellow Officer.
Charming story Told About the Gal
liant soldier Who Will Repre-
sent the Army Mt King Ed
wards Coronation.

When the late Charles A. Dana was
assistant secretary of war he was COM
missioned to go to the front and, in
semiofficial letters, to give his impress
sions of the officers of Grants army
for the purpose of assisting President
Lincoln and Secretary Stanton in
forming their judgment of military
leaders.
OF Gen. James II. Wilson, one of the
commissioners appointed ~ President
Roosevelt to represent the United
States at the coronation of King Ed
ward, Mr.. Dana wrote, under date of
Cairo, ILL.,, July 10, 1868:
Lieut.. Col. Wilson, inspector general, Is
a captain Of engineers In the regular army,
and has rendered valuable services In that
capacity. He has remarkable tai
ents and uncommon executive power, and
Will be heard from hereafter.
Gen. Wilson abundantly fulfilled
that prediction" said Brig. Gen. John
f. Weston, commissary general of the
army. 81 had the honor" continued
Gen. Weston, "to serve on Gen. Will
sons staff during his famous cavalry
campaign. In the opinion of his men
and in the estimate of Grant himself,
Gen. Wilson was a remarkably bril-
liant soldier. Gen. Wilson was very
young when made cavalry command
er. In fact, he was but 81 years of
age when he assisted in the final tri-
umphs of the war"
An officer in the war department at
Washington, in the Philadelphia Sat
urday Evening Post, tells of an incl
dent in which the youth and the still
more youthful appearance of Gen. Will
son during the civil war almost led n
distinguished colonel to send in his
resignation. at is an interesting bit
of unwritten history" said the officer
who relates the story.

were being hcralded throughout the
country, Col. - was transferred

Millions For Fertilizers.
Colonel Edge Says Pennsylvania Spends For
tunes Every Year-The Beef Supply.

Colonel Thomas J. Edge, formet
secretary of agriculture, says the
farmers of Pennsylvania are spending
about $4,75o,ooo annually for COM
mercial feslilzers. In this respect
they are only exceeded by the farmers
of Georgia, who expen led $5,73S,Sao
for fertilizers last year, as against
$4,6Ss,oao spent by the farmers OF
this state.
"There has not been a time within
the last thirty or more years, con-
tnued Colonel Edge, "@hen it would
not pay to feed good cattle for beef
1t is true that some seasons the profit
was greater than others, but in ordet
to obtain the profit of the business az
average must be taken. The better
class of animals, those fit for export
trade, have always commanded good
prices, and will tor many years to
come.
Much has been said and written
about the beef trust increasing the
price of beef, and such may have been
one of the factors which has produced
the increase in prices which we now
meet with, but the fact remains that
good animals have each year for the
last eight or ten years been becoming
scarcer and scarcer, and are not now
to be had in numbers sufficient to
supply the demands of the market.
This will mos, likely continue TOT
several years, as the supply of cattle
cannot be increased much under two
or three years"

The Clothes Moths.

The common Clothes Moths 7ErSG
be(h.mel2a and zIReoLo MSeLfeLla are
small moths with pale ochre-yellow
heads and wing expanse Of about
half an inch. In the larval state they
feed upon all kinds of animal products

hair, Innings and upholsterings, and
skins of birds and animals The larva

remains concealed IN case made of
the material on which 1t feeds and
lined with silk which it spins. They
lniict their injury during the summer
months and in houses that are heated
they also feed during the winter
The life. history of Clothes Moth
is as follows: The eggs are laid iu
the early part of the summer on the
fabrics to be eaten and in concealed
places. The Larvae soon hatch and
feed, making their case larger as they
grow. The winter is passed IN the
larval state within the case, and in the
early spring the iarva transforms into
a pupa. In the spring, often In May,
the adult moth emerges and lays its
eggs. The small moths that are at
tracted to lights at night are not
clothes moths, as the latter fly mostly
by day and are in dark closets at
night.
With these insects preventatives are
more important than remedies. Ma
terial that would be infested should
be packed away tightly in closed
trunks or boxes with sprigs of cedar,
camphor or naptha balls, and scaled
with strips of paper over the cracks
before the eggs are laid on the fabrics
in the spring. If the eggs are laid be-
fore the garments are packed they viii
hatch and feed. Tight paper or linen
bags will also keep out the pests and
sealed boxes are not then needed.
When the insects have once ap-
peared they can be killed by very
dense fumes of tobacco smoke or pro-
fuse odors of spirits of turpentine in
tightly closed rooms for twenty.four
hours. A spray of benzine is also
effective, but after its use rooms must
be aired well before taking light lu-
10 them.
