A shower of what is known as "prai-
RE crickets" occurred at Huron. s. D..

the northwest and there were millions
Of the little pests.
The walks were literally covered with
them, and pedestrians found difficulty
in getting them out of their clothing
The insects were specially attracted
about the street lamps. the light from
which was obscured by them. They go,
into the houses and occasioned no lit
Gle annoyance
The pest disappeared almost as sud.
denly as 1t appeared. By the middle oil
the following day they had almost van.
ished. but how or where they went is a
mystery. for they had no wings, and
their gait was apparently very slow.
They were seemingly a species OF
cricket. not so large as the black cricket

Wealth.

Heirs Of Cardinal Giuseppe Pecci.
brother Of the late Pope Leo XIII,
have filed claims with the executors
Of the pope's will asking for shares in
the cardinals estate. When Cardinal
Pecci died the heirs renowned all
claims to their inheritance on assur-
ance from the pope, they say, that
they would be adequately compen-
stated.
They assert now that they have
as yet received nothing, and wish To
enter into possession Of the estate or
to receive compensation for It. Ex.
animation Of Pope Leo's effects revealed
four large baskets filled with silver BE-
longing to the cardinal. which had
never been opened. II is supposed
that during his Illness the matter was
forgotten by the late pontin.

The beauty experts have had a severe
setback in the Turkish capital since the

are mixed with pork lard, Abdul Hamid

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS DECREASE
Falling on Is Nearly s4.OO0.OOO fer
Present Fiscal Year Treasury
surplus Likely to Be Reaaesd.

The government customs receipts
decreased rapidly during the first ten
days Of September. as compared with
the same parted of last year. end since
this decrease began several weeks ago
and shows no signs of abatement. the
matter is attracting the serious atten-
ton of the treasury officials.
For the first ten days of September
the receipts from customs were sS,26s. :
$50. as against s9.S22.651 in the first ten
days of last September. The falling on
in this class of receipts since the begin
ming of the fiscal year on July amounts
to nearly 100000. At the same rate
the decrease in the receipts for the whole
fiscal year will be more than s20. 000. Zoo.
The expenditures of the government
were, however. about 81. SOC. 900 less dur
ing July and August than during the
same period Of 1902. II the decrease in
customs receipts continues, the treasury
officials believe the surplus in the treas
ury will be much less at the end OF the
fiscal year than II was last year.
The cause of the falling on in imports
is a matter of much speculation, but II
is believed the markets of the country
were largely overstocked by the phe-
aomenally large imports of 1902 and the
first half of 1908.
Despite the smaller customs receipts,
the treasury deficit always incident to
the early part of new fiscal year was
overcome a few days ago. There is now
surplus of s73,917 for the current fiscal
year, and this seems likely to increase
steadily.

That the criminal class is increasing
"a an alarming rate is apparent to
all who have given any thought to
the subject. The question, shall we
try to reform the criminals, or con.
fine them permanently, is a serious
one. Our people need information
along these lines, and we know Of no
means so effective for disseminating
it as through the pulpits oithe state.
We appeal to the clergy for help in
this great work.
Actuated by this motive, the state

have set apart the 18th Sunday in
October as "Prison Sunday" Every

quested to preach a sermon on that
