latest Plan to Fight Them.

A few years ago scientific person in

lars that interested him, and kept them
In bottle. But one day the bottle tipped
over and some of the caterpillars escaped
Into the scientists garden, and pres
emily stocked 1t with gypsy moths To
catch them and their descendants the
Bay state has since spent about 1,0OO,-
900 of public money. They have cost 1t
many millions dollars besides in dam
ages. The old method of fighting them
was to find and destroy the cocoons. The
state finally gave that up, much to the
regret of many of its citizens. The bugs
have since increased very much, and
carried destruction into the woods. 1t
is now proposed to fight these pests in
the latest fashion, by breeding parasites
which will attack them. That method
is recommended by Mr.. Koebele, of Ala
media, CAL, who tried it successfully in
that state for white scale. The Massa-
chusetts Forestry association fayors the
experiment, which will not cost much,
and Mr.. Koebele will doubtless be in

chusetts and sick them on. The whole
country is concerned in this experiment,
because a. Massachusetts, congressman
has invited congress to declare the gypsy
moth national enemy and to appro-
pirate S250,000 to fight him. The parasite
cure is modern wonder and has been
effective in cases of great moment. MT.
Koebele says it will not wipe out the
gypsy moths, but will keep them down.
The boil weeyil may presently be re-
| strained by the same methods.

NOT SUITED TO WORK
Officials Tell Why Railways Have
Barred Women Clerks.
Further Hiring of Them to BE Discon-
tinued-Cannot Be Advanced Above
aCertain Position and Then
Block Young Men,

Recent orders of railway officials
that no more women will be hired as
stenographers or clerks are causing
much discussion among the fair sex.
Some railroads will continue to hire
women, others will not discharge any
now in service, but will not hire more,
while others will not employ women
at all. Here are some of the opinions
expressed by railway officials ON
women as employees:
woman is all right in her place,
but that isn't in railroad office"
says President Underwood. of the
Erie lines. 1--WE won't discharge any
women now employed as stenogra-
piers, but as fast as they marry or
quit for other reasons we will fill their
places with men,"
Women undoubtedly exercise a
good influence in an Office" said Gen.
eral Auditor Sturgis, of the Burling-
ton system. They do not swear, use
tobacco, go to saloons, or tell office
secrets"
"Get rid of all the women on the
pay roll aad put men in their places"
was one of the first orders Issued by
Horace G.. Burt when he became presi-
dent of the Union Pacific system. IA
woman in a railroad Office cannot be
promoted above a certain position, and
from that time on she only blocks the
way Of young men. / do not know
of any Office work that cannot be done
better by men than women. and I'm
not in favor of hiring women Just be.
cause they will work for less money"
There are times in every well-reg-
ulated railway Office when a sufficient
number of 'cuss words must be used,
and 1t might be hard to get pretty

ger of a western railroad.
"My experience has been thai
women are better as stenographers
than men," declared an eastern gen
eral passenger agent. '"They are
neater in their appearance and theil
work, are more attentive to their du
ties, and don't waste as much time
"Women are all right in auditing
and passenger departments, where

work and promotions and changes ar

to adopt such policy, for many Of tn

principal reason why women are hire

dead letter on the statute books dur
ing the entire second administration
OF Grover Cleveland, a democratic
president. Through those four years
Of Democratic administration, all
appeals and all efforts Of The World to
have the law enforced, were met with
s''ee's, jeers and open contempt from a

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY

1t is reported from the South that
overtures from New York are being
made there looking to plan for STAN i
peding the Democratic convention for
Mcclellan or Cleveland, Parker's boom
having hopele5sly tlattened out and
Hearst's having vlsibly expanded.
Mcclellan would at one time have
been acceptable to democratic Demo
Gratis, but he himself has raised an in
superable barrier by lending the au-
thurity and power of his Office as
mayor to the promotion of pluto
cratic scheme of huge proportions and
and shameless character. We refer
to his official approval of law Great
ing All eternal monopoly Of the New
York gas supply. His excuse that the
law he sanctioned only confirmed an
existing law coming down from
Tweed's day, is worse than no excuse
at all. II the existing law was valid,
IL needed no confirmation; il invalid,
Mcclellan has conferred vitality upon
it. His act identifies him with the
plutocratic interests which already
control the Republican party and are
seeking control of the Democratic
party. That is enough to stop the
stampede for him. Hungry Demo-
cratic office seekers know that they
cannot get to the public crib on the
shoulders of any tool Of the plutocra-
cy. One might like to see them feed
there, for their stomachs' sake, but
the price would be too high.
II there Is to be a stampede for
either of these two men, let it be for
Cleveland. His devotion to the pluto
cratic interests has been demonstrate

tions are necessary. At any rate, his

DOCTOR EXPLAINS
His Article in the Medical Magazine
About Coffee.

One Of the most famous medical
publications in the United States is the
"Alkaloidal Clinic in a recent mum Der
Of which an entertaining article on
coffee by a progressive physician and
surgeon Is published. In explaining
his position in the matter this physi-
clan recently said:
"In the article in question I really
touched but lightly upon the merits Of
Postum Food Coffee. I have had
several cases Of heart trouble, indiges-
ton and nervousness where a perma-
nent cure was effected by merely US
ing Postum in place Of coffee without
any other treatment.
"In my own family I have used
Postum for three years and my
children actually cry for it and will
not be satisfied with any other bever-
age. Indeed they refuse to eat until
they have had the customary cup Of
Postum and as it is a rebuilder and
does nothing but good am only too
glad to let them have it.
'To get the best results we boil the
Postum at least twenty minutes and it
is then settled by adding a little cold
water, then the addition of fresh
cream makes a beverage now prefer
to the very best coffee" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Greek. Mich.
Authorities are agreed that Postum
is wonderfully quick and sure re-
builder. Ten days trial in place of
coffee proves it.
