Entertainments In Utah 20 which the
Entrance Fee IL Paid in Cap
tured Insects.

Farmer folks in Utah have adopted
amodern and grown-up version of the
"pin shows" of childhood to assist in
ridding the crops of the locust pest
which threatens them. The yield last
year was almost ruined by the insects,
so this season a series of entertain
ments has been arranged, to which an
admission fee of half a bushel Of
grasshoppers was charged, says San
Francisco exchange.
The first evenings receipts amount
ed to rs bushels. The greatest number
on the programme was the last, when
read: "Tbe Funeral Pyre." 1t con
sists of mock ceremonies attending the
burning of the grasshopper receipts
Several hundred bushels of these de-
struetive insects have already through
this clever means gone up in smoke, to
the attendant delight of both old and
young who assisted at the cremation.
The children in San Pete county
where the idea originated, go out on
grasshopper hunts with as much ex
citement in view for the day as If the
quarry were rabbits or coons-and the
trophies of the chase are welcomed by
parents much more. At the present
rate of progress it is hoped that th,
war of determination may arrest tn,
ravages of the enemy.

BURNING COLORADO FORESTS
fires IN Unfreauented heniona sup-
poned 20 neen Cnased hE EH-
nIndInn Meleorn.

Scientists are having their atten-
tion called to the coincidence in the
prevalence Of SO many forest fires in
the Rocky mountains and the scientific
fact that a great number Of meteors
have been tearing up the earth IN
this quarter Of the globe, says the Den
yer News.
It has been suggested that these
meteors dropping in various mountain
districts, In heavy pine forests, have
exploded and thus started the big for
est fires that are doing SO much dam
age. This Is a new theory in the scien.
tifc world, but il is not without the
range of possibilities and seems the
only explanation Of the mysterious
origin of these fires These fires have
originated apparently without human
agency and there has not been any
theory of lightning origin.
Denver scientists are now making
a study of this theory and in few
days viii doubtless express their opin-
ions 1t certainly seems a satisfactory
explanation Of how fires originate in
sections far from the roads of travel
and the habitation Of men. Word was
lately received in Denver of a fire
raging near Grand Lake, Col, and
which threatened much property. This
fire was supposed TO have originated
from the bursting Of meteor on q
hay ranch near Grand Lake. Another
disastrous fire, with mysterious ori
gin, was raging near Georgetown, Col

SOME OF THE FALL FANcIBs

House gowns show rich color con.
trasts and a great deal OF trimming
Aprons are modish, and pretty
house aprons are made of blue, rel
or gray chambray with bibs and
bretelies Of embroidery.
Burnt orange is color that is be-
ing revived for winter wear, and one
begins to see touches Of it in most
Of the new millinery.
Most effective for draperies Is raw
silk, which conies yard wide in
soft pinks, lovely blues, warm reds
end beautifully toned greens.
velvet-striped and velvet-bordered
ribbons are a feature Of the autumn
trade pink and blue ribbons are
shown striped with velvet in baby.
ribbon effect and white dotted
black velvet border is along one edge
OF blue satin ribbon.
The newest tea gowns are in em
pire fashion, with accordion-plaitet
skirts beautifully trimmed with lace
medallions and insertions. They art
finished with handsome collars OF
lace or embroidery, lace frills edg
ing the collars. Sleeves are elbow
length, finished with several lac,
ruffies. Light colors prevail for tea
gowns and white Is much favored.
The fancy for fruit as a decoration
has extended to embroideries on din
ner and reception gowns. An illus
trative gown of black point d'espri
made over white satin was trimme,
with embroidery in the form of cher
ries and their leaves, and had cherr,
red belt and shoulder straps. An
other of pearl gray satin and tull
was embroidered with green grapes
Black grapes were put on delieat

MUST RETURN VICTORIOUS.
Senator Foraker Says American Troops
VIII Remain In the Philippines Until
Our Authority Is Supreme.

Washington, Feb. SIN the senate
the sedition laws enacted by the Phil
ippine commission were read at the
instance of Senator Rawlins, and at
once drew the fire of the opponents
of the governments Philippine pol
icy. Senator Hoar expressed his
establishment that such laws should be
enforced by the government author
tiles. Senator Foraker had read from
the revised statutes of the United
States the laws of congress relating
to the crime of treason and said that
the acts passed by the Philippine COM
mission were almost identical to the
laws enacted by congress in the days
Of "the fathers of the republic" and
that there was nothing unprecedented
Or unusual about them. The Ohio
senator announced with great earn
estness that the American army never
would return from the Philippines
until it returned victorious and that
gentlemen in and out of congress
rail about it as they might, ought
thoroughly to understand the fact.

TEN-MILLION-DoLLAR FIRE.
Twenty Five Blocks of Buildings at Pater-

Paterson, N. j., Feb. 1O.-A great
fire swept through Paterson yesterday
and in its desolate wake are the en-
bers and ashes of property valued at
$10,OOO,OO0. 1t burned it's way through
the business section of the city and
claimed as it's own a majority of the
finer structures devoted to CONNER
cia1, civic, education and religious
use, as well as scores of houses.
There was but small tribute of life
and injury to the confiagration, but
hundreds were left homeless and
thousands without employment.
An estimate from a general inspec-
ton of the smoldering ruins placed
ahe number of dwellings and apart
ment houses destroyed at 500 and the
number of families left without
shelter at 1000. The area of destruc-
ton foots up roughly 25 city blocks.

"as nothing more important for con-
yress to do than to authorize the pur-
.base of the lands held by the friars
1t was hoped that the friars would
go to other countries if their lands
we're purchased, but there was no
power to evict them. The governor
said he thought the general opinion
is to the wealth and holdings of the
friars had been greatly exaggerated.
He did not believe, for instance, that
they had three-fourtbs OF the prop
erty owned in the cities. That, how
ever, the religious orders have ready
cash was true as was evidenced by
the fact that they make loans. He
nstanced case in which the friars
had advanced money, to promote a
corner in hemp which had afterward
tailed because of irregularities on the
part of the manager.

HEAVIER HAND ON IRELAND.
Great b itasn to Adopt Repressive Meas
ures to Restore Order and vindicate Law
In the Disaffected Island.

London, Feb. 1O.-Ireland's violent
and implacable attitude toward Eng
lish rule is among the subjects anX-
iously considered by the cabinet. 1t
is believed that the government in
tends to lay a heavier hand on the
nationalist agitation, lest the situa-
ton become so serious as to require
something like a military campaign
to restore order and vindicate law in
the disaffected island.
The home rule press deprecates a
resort to rigorous measures and pre-
diets a reign of unarmed rebellion
leading to absolute militarism. Mr..
Redmond seems rather to welcome
the crisis and openly asserts in par
lament that rebellion in Ireland is
only a question Of eNpediency. He
adds that the sole alternative to home
rule is the complete disfranchisement
of the Irish constituencies.

General Hamlin. He says such as

Citations and their members have no
exemption from usury laws, no linn
tied liability of members, no corpo-
rate advantages, the members becom-
ing a mutual association or part
nership where every member is liable
for all the obligations of the associa-
ton, and without right to maintain
an action at law against any member
of the association. He says there is
no statute comforting right upon per-
sons or assOciat ions to transact the
kind of business indicated.
