RECEPTION.


There was a delightful hayride CIV
en- Thursday night TO the visiting
young lady guests OF Misses Madge and
Mary Potts and Miss Lakeland. Hay
rides are quite the popular thing now.
There is an informality about them
that is quite refreshing from the
polite and formal reception. The
girls don their short skirts and shirt
waists, with sleeves rolled up, a jaunty
cap, and a horn completes the hay
ride costume. The jingling sleigh
bells herald the approach Of the mer-
r~y-makers. Before dispensing they
always refresh themselves with the
cooling sodas and phosphates. The

VAR TALK IN PEKING.
Gro1cing Belief IN HostiIities Be
t1Ceen Russia and Japan.

Peking, July 10.-Advces from New-Chwang
regarding the recent cleavage in the relations
between Russia and Japan have caused a re-
vival Of the talk, greater than at any time
for three years. The recent sale Of the British
Company to Russia has been taken to indicate q
loss of confidence by the foreign residents in
the ability of the powers to resist Russia's ah-
sorption of the port industries Since the de-
parture of the Russian Minister NJ. Lessar. for
the Port Arthur conference II has been learned
that the Chinese Foreign Office intended to have
a representative at that meeting, and only
deferred from accepting the invitation by the
fear of alarming the other powers. Japan's de-
mand regarding the deficiency in the indemnity
payment is taken as al indication that she is
adopting a policy independent of her British al
lance
The Chinese Foreign Office is using its utmost
endeavors TO eXterminate the anti-dynastic So
cieties in the YanStss provinces. Five leaders
of the movement a. now on trial for sedition
in the foreign concession at Shanghai The gov
ernment considers that this propaganda is
grave menace to the throne.
Three native Christians have been murdered
at Ping-Li-Hsien in tie Shan-Se Province. The
Catholic priests have been escorted to Cheng-
Kou under military protection The Foreign
Office declares that the murders are not anti
Christian, but have their motive in robbery.

POISONOUS TRIBE IN MoNTCLAIR.
Insects Bred in Stable Refuse Believed To
Be Carrying Typhoid Germs.

Montclair. n. J., July 1O-This town is suffer
ing from plague of mosquitoes that is more
severe than anything in its history. The pest
is not the ordinary marsh mosquito, but is a
breed known as the Culex pungens, and the
Board of Health officials say that it is bred
mainly in outhouses and refuse Of stables.
Many wealthy people go away from town IN the
summer, and the outhOuses and stables on their
properties. the health officials say, are in many
instances left in a condition calculated to breed
the pests.
Each female mosquito lays three hundred eggs
at a time, and a new generation is born every
two weeks SO that the condition Of affairs at
present may perhaps be imagined by those who
have not exDerlenced it.
The Board of Health officials have been spray
ing the ponds with kerosene. but they say they
cannot go on private property and act with the
freedom they exercise on public land. The
officials say that the public health is menaced
not only by mosquitoes but by flies that are
bred in the places complained of, which are be
lieyed to carry the germs of typhoid all over the
town. The condition of affairs has aroused pub
lie indignation to a high pitch, and the officials
arc seeking authority for taking more drastic
measures than they have hitherto employed to
abolish the nuisance.
