Mississippi ConvictS.

The decision Of Chancellor Maycs
at Jackson, sustaining the injunc-
ton sued out 10y Governor Narda-
man against the Board Of Control
in connection with the Sandy Bayou
controversy. was an able and Just
Interpretation Of provisions In the
Mississippi constitution relating To
State convictS. In Mississippi, "a
In other States, the practice Of leas-

years "A serious problem The sub

Wooster City, Ia. Sept. 11.-Portions
With grasshoppers. The pests are de-
doing great deal of damage.
r. v. Cutler, who resides west of the
city, reports that the grasshoppers have
totally destroyed a field of clover on his
farm containing twenty acres. The field
is bare of everything but the clover
stems, the leaves having all been eaten
by the pests. Thus far, however, the
grasshoppers have touched nothing but
the late fields of clover. The patches
destroyed are mostly those planted in
the spring when the clover was planted
with the oats. The work of the grass
hoppers was not noticeable until after
the harvest had been finished. when
they seemed to have settled over the
clover fields and eaten them. bare.
The farmers are exceedingly thank
flu! that the grasshoppers did not make
their appearance until late and that
there is now nothing for them to de-
stroy but the late clover fields. The
destruction of these will, of course, en-
tail Il Very considerable loss. but it will
not be comparable to that which would
have been sustained had the pests
come earlier in the season. AS it is,
they will eat up many dollars worth
of green feed, but there is a consola
ton in the big crop saved from their
ravages by their late arrival. There is
nothing that can be done to rid the
farms of these destructive insects. and
the farmer at best is compelled to
watch them slowly eat up his fields.

The End of Summer, the pretty

she has been the chief entertainer.

fall home on the Hudson.
The affair was a harvest dinner,
dance and vaudeville show, carried
out with the lavishness which hasI
marked al her previous entertainments
at "Crossways' this season. Even to
the decorations did it suggest the har-
vest, as fail flowers and leaves with
sheaves of wheat were used for decora-s
lions, which We're striking. Not only
were the rooms of the villa resplendent
with color and light, but much atten-
ton was paid to the grounds, where
hundreds of tiny electric lights We're
placed in the trees and shrubs
1t was a scene seldom seen in New
port, and fitting climax to the many
entertainments which had preceded it.
The guests at dinner We're seated at
round tables on the Neranda, which
were enclosed with mirrors, the frames
OF which We're made by electric lights
and reflected the scene before it, giving
ing room.
After dinner, and as the last notes of
the song by Mrs. Spooner died away,
there was a shower of leaves from
above, and on these leaves there We're
printed the words, "Crossways, Sep

among the guests as souvenirs.
Following the dinner the guests adj
journed to the hallway. where a stage
had been erected, and here a vaudeville
show was given by a number of artists
who came on from New York for the
entertainment.
There also was palmist who gained
much notoriety this season and who
was besieged all evening by women and
men to have their palms read.
Following the show the guests en-
tered the ballroom where there was
dancing until midnight. When they de-
parted, "Crossways' was again closed
to The fashionable world until another
season.
