WAR ON CATERPILLARS.
Corps Of Tree Defender. organized
t. Destroy the Pests in PHIL
ade1phia Park.

Fairmount park, Philadelphia, has .
caterpillar corps composed of men who
do nothing but scrub down the shade
trees and xiii the dislodged insects.
The implement used is simply an or
binary scrubbipg brush nailed to .
long pole, and it takes considerable
endurance to keep up such work all
day.
As Q as the caterpillars touch
the ground they start to climb the
tree again, and the men have to step
lively to kill all the fallen ones. Said
one OF them the other day, according
to the Philadelphia Record:
This is the only really effective
way Of getting rid of the pests. Ihasa
tried other ways, but they were No
good. Take tar traps, for instance. ]
have watched caterpillars wriggle
their way out of their fur, leaving il
in the tar. Poisons, instead of killing
them, seem to make them fat.
II took one Of these lotions to a drue
store where I had bought it and told
the man it was worthless.
Just pour some Of it down a cater.
pillars throat and see il he doesna
die said the druggist. You're fool.

stamp on him. and then you know he,

"A dispatch from the City of Mexico
to the New York Herald stating mat
the Mexican government has declined
to permit purchased antiquities 70,
the museum of natural history in
New York city to be taken from the
country has been called to the atten-
ton of Marshall d. SaviIie, the assist.
ant curator of the museum. He dug
out many specimens in Mexico, and
according 10 the museums contract
with the government it vas entitled
to n of all the specimens of which
there were duplicates.
There were many other antiquities
which Mr.. Saville purchased. and
these were left at Mexico City pend
ing the granting of permission to
tAke them out of a country.
Mr.. Saville said when interviewed:
why the Mexican government:
should do this I am at a loss to un-
dersJand. Imagine the new minis
ter has exceeded his authority, for
when I left I received assurances that
permission had been granted for the
antiquities to be taken out of the
country. I know the Mcxicans have
a law which prevents the taking Of
antiquities out of the country. and
it is only our contract that allows us
to dot.
There were no idols among the
collection, only pieces of pottery and
stone. OF course / purchased many
specimens that I believed would be
of value, and it is these I understand
that are held. But I do not think
there will be any difficulty in getting

stat.stic. of Last Years Commerce
show That Country Has Re-
covered from Outbreak.

Business has been resumed in
China apparently with increased ac-
tivity. The official publication of the
Chinese government, "Retufns OF
Trade and Trade Reports for the
Year 1901 which has just reached
the treasury bureau of statistics
shows that railroad construction has
been actively resnseed in several OF
the provinces. that practically 1."oe
miles of railway are now completed
and in operation, and that seyera:
hundred miles will be added during
the present year, while the record
of the foreign commerce presented
ky .he -:ne shows that the i'm
rorts into China in the year 1901
were larger than those Of any pre-
ceding year. The total value of the
imports is given as 26s.302,9iS baik-
wan taels. or s1e2,97s.160. against

in 1857, III, 900, 900 in 1895. and 1G2.-
100000 in 1894. The exports are val
ued at 16~9,656.T35 haikwan taels

any prior year except 1899.
From the United States the inn

taels in 1898, and a,263,0s2 haikwa,l
taels in 1894. Thus the imports from
the United States have increased
about $50 per cent. since 1894, while
the exports to the United States in
1901 were practical. .s ---s 8

said he needed all the remains he had

indulge in repose some more. Atthis
the detectives grew nettied and were
about o seize his remains by force, but
he got up and walked away, swearing
he would go back to Indiana. where
a fellow could take a nap without the

That is what you are in the world for.

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.
George Poarch, Despondent Because
Out of Work, Attempted Suicide
on Saturday Night.

George Poarch, an elderly German
who has been boarding for some time
with Jacob Kiefer, of lis Prospect ave-
nue., attempted suicide shortly before
midnight on Saturday night by taking
carbolic acid. He will probably re-
cover.
Poarch had been Respondent for some
weeks because of his failure to Sc
cure employment and had been con-
rinually worrying about the welfare Of
his four little children. He was out
on Saturday night and came in shortly
after IL o'clock. He went directly to
his room and shortly afterwards the
members of the family heard him
struggling tiercely and crying for as
sistance.
Going upstairs they found him
writhing on the floor in great agony
with an ounce bottle labelled "carbolic
acid" clutched in his hand. DR.. Webb
was summoned and rendered all the as
sistance possible until the arrival of
the Lackawanna hospital ambulance.
Poarch was removed to that institu-
ton where it was said last night that
he would probably recover. He is sui
len and morose and won't talk to any
of the hospital attendants.

UNION VETERAN LEGION.
Steps Being Taken to Organize an
Encampment in This City.
What Commander Says.

j. Edwin Brown, of Washington, y.
c.. national commander of the Union
Veteran Legion, was in this city yes
terday laying plans for the organiza-
tion of an encampment of the legion
in this city. He has interested several
war veterans in the plan and they have
promised to circulate a petition for q
charter.
The Union Veterans Legion is essen
TALLY different from the Grand Army
of the Republic in that membership in
it is very much restricted. Only SOL
diers, sailors and marines of the Union
army, navy and marine corps during
the war of the Rebellion who volrn-
teered for term OF three years and
We're honorably discharged for any
cause after a service of at least two
continuous years or who We're dis
charged by reason of wounds received
in the line of duty, providing they en-
listed before July /, 1865, are eligible to
membership.
Commander Brown in conversation
with a Tribune man yesterday after
noon. said:
"The Union Veteran Legion is not
antagonistic to the Grand Army of the
Republic as many people suppose. /
am member of the G. A. r. myself
and l would sooner lose my right arm
than lose my membership in it. The
aim of this organization is to satisfy
the desires of old soldiers who may de-
sire a distinctly soldiers organization.
In a Grand Army post room the battle
SCARED three year veteran may be
seated between a soldier who volun
teered for only nine months and who
only served for thirty days and another
who had to be paid $1,000 to fight in de-
fense of the flag.
THAT isn't possible in our organiZa-
ton. Every member must be a real
veteran with two years service to his
credit. No drafted person, no substi-
tute nor any person who has ever
borne arms against the United States
is eligible. The Union Veteran Legion
is the only real soldiers organization
in the world"
r. III. Holgate has become actively
interested in the movement to estab-
lish an encampment here and has prom
ised to assist in arousing an interest
among the old soldiers. Thirty names
are required before charter can be
secured.
