Hong Kee is good ironer and has
big trade, He went to New York just

Then there was the Fourth Of July holt

starched goods and not a few of Hong
KEGS customers found themselves wear

noon in the summer.
A fund for this purpose was put in Bishop
Potter's hands two or three years ago,
but not until this summer have the Cathedral
grounds been in such a condition as to
make them a fit place for the purpose.
The children brought their luncheons
yesterday afternoon and We're taken to
Morningside Heights in trolley cars from
the Bowery. They went in lunches of
twenty. 1t was expected yesterday that
800 would go, but the thunderstorm together
with the fact that the outing plan is not yet
generally understood, kept many away
The little handful that did go had a Jolly

the trees, on the grass, until o'clock when
Archdeacon Nelson conducted open air
services and made a short address.
This open air ) O'Clock service on Sun

the summer take the place of the regular

A CATERPILLAR YEAR.
Central Park Promises to Swarm With the
Leaf Eaters II They're Let Alone.

A plague of caterpillars the like Of which
has not been seen in these parts for many
years has descended upon Central Park
The hairy visitors have habit Of dropping
down the backs of human necks.
"Ouch! O-o-uch!" cries young woman
as she jumps to her feet from the flirta
ton bench and makes frantic contortions
endeavoring to reach her starboard quar-
ter.
Don't be alarmed. It's only an infant
lepidopter,' says the park cop. THE only
harm he can do is to tickle"
1t Is easy now as it hasn't been often in
summer, to find an unoccupied bench under
a large tree whose outspreading branches
cast a fine cool shade. Many woman
seeing the empty bench will hasten to 1t
and sit down, but she won't stay there
long. A caterpillar is sure to find the
meshes of peekaboo waist, and then the
trouble begins.
The insects have made the trees unsightly.
The white cocoons fill the interstices of the
bark on the trunks and larger branches as
thickly as holes in sieve. There was not
room enough on the trees apparently, for
the cocoons cover much Of the space on
the stone wall shrting the park on Fifth
avenue and Central Park West. The
usual appearance of the stone wall ia
changed to white notified surface.
All of the caterpillars have not yet come
out. There are enough crawling about
already to make much trouble, but it is
said that when they are all Matched out
by the beginning of August they will have
the park very much to themselves, so far
as visitors are concerned. They have not
as yet done much damage to the foliage, as
their growth has not got to the point where
they do much eating, but they will unless
the spraying gang gets busy and murders
them in the egg They are already. begin
ming to strip the plane trees in Brooklyn.

BartIes Says Legislative Com.
mittee's Advice Is Worthless

Joseph Bartles of St. Paul, one Of
the witnesses who appeared before the
legislative investigating committee,
declares that the committees recon-
mendations to Oil Inspector ]. A. Nc
Dermott are worthless since no change
is made by the legislature in the man
ner of testing kerosene. Mr.. Bartles
said yesterday, in speaking of the re-
port and its conclusions and recon-
mendationS:
Il noticed an article in T n Glob e
entitled oil Investigation Committee
Reports. State Inspector is Instructed
to Secure Better Grades of OIL Now,
what / would like to know is who has
any authority TO so instruct him and
what would the instructions amount to
without a law TO enforce them. In
other words, the law remains the same
as ii has been during the past twenty
years and anyone can sell anything as
burning oil SO long as il stands the le-
gal requirement of 121 fire test. Mr..
McDermott, the state oil inspector. is
powerless to enforce any requirements
as to the burning quality of oil.
1T is due to Mr.. McDermott to say
that he used every endeaYor to in
duce the legislature to pass a bill pro-
Viding for gravity test, but his efforts
were futile. The legislatures of North
Dakota and South Dakota are more
alive to the interests of the people
they represent. Both these states
have passed a law that requires oil
to be As gravity Beaume scale. Oil of
this gravity will burn i'm cold weather;
oil of AZ or 43 gravity will not burn
when the weather is cold. The state
ment that the Standards tank stations
scattered at railroad points throughout
the state are adapted TO handling diff
ferent grades of oil is not correct. At
least two-thirds of the stations owned
by the Standard have only one tank
for storing oil and one for storing
gasoline and they are equipped to
handle but one grade of oil. If they
ship AZ or 43 gravity oil to a station
the people have to take il whether
they want to or not. But few of the
Standards numerous stations through
out the state are equipped with two
tanks for oil, and at these stations, of
course, they handle two grades of OIL"

PARIS, April ia sad sequel was

last Thursday night Mons. Edmond Le-
louise, wishing to brighten. his wife,
dressed UP a wax figure, the head of
which and one of the hands he lightly
attached to the body by means of gum
and placed it in bed.
While Lelouse was watching the
proceedings from behind some draper
les his wife, about to retire, grasped
what she supposed in the semi dark
ness, to be her husbands hand,
but which was in reality that of the
wax figure. The hand, cold and
clammy, detached itself from the limb
and remained in her grasp.
With a cry of horror Nine. Lelouse
let the hand drop to the ground and
flung her arms around the figures
neck, when the head also became de-
tached and rolled down upon the
floor
The terror stricken woman, uttering
piercing shrieks, ran madly down the
stairs, where she was stopped by some
neighbors and detained.
When the police arrived il was
found that she had become raving mad.
Later she was conveyed to the asylum.
When the husband was appraised yes
terday morning of the hopelessness Of
his wife's condition. he poisoned him
self by swallowing a dose of nitric
acid.

POPE LAUGHS, TOLD
TO LOOK PLEASANT
London Photographed Relates
His Experience With
Plus X

ROME. II. Histed. a London pho
tographer, who was summoned to
Rome to take some special photographs
of Pope Plus X. has returned to Lon
don. Mr.. Histed talked as follows
about his meeting with the pope:
Il arrived at the vatican at 1880, so
as to have time to prepare my camera
and see that all was in readiness.
After passing the examination of
the officer of the Swiss guard-for no
one is admitted without due scrutiny
into the vatican, and every one has TO
pass at least three examinations by
guards before being able to reach the
holy father i arrived at my tenn
porary studio.
Here the attendants allotted to me
helped me to finish my preparations,
and as the clock struck half past 8
everything was prepared for the pope.
The time slipped away and he did
not come 1 feared that some hitch
had arisen. Suddenly, although /
neither saw nor heard anything. the
people in the room ceased talking and
gaZed in the direction of the door,
which, thrown wide open. gave a view
of long gallery. In moment, quite
alone, a figure clothed in simple white
garments, was seen approaching; it
was the pope.
I'VE all dropped on our knees as he
entered: with one of the sweetest
smiles l have ever soon on a mans
face he greeted us, and coming over
to me he extended his hand and l kiss
ed his ring; then, nodding to the rest.
he announced that he was ready for
the operation.
His holiness was delightful to pho
tograph. He made such a splendid
picture, with his fine muscular frame
and massive head. Plate after plate
was exposed, the pope watching the
operations with the greatest interest
and making continual comments to his
private secretary.
"Once when he was smiling I ejacu-
lated, oh. if he would only keep that
pleasant expression for a moment
The secretary at once translated il into
Italian. and his holiness went off into
a hearty roar of laughter. Too bad
he said; don't 1 always look pleasant
Then l asked if he would consent
to wear a cope over his white cassock.
He is most simple in his dress; in fact,
the pope is by far the most plainly
dressed man in all his gorgeous court.
HE consented, and a magnificent
robe was arranged around him.
II ventured to request, that he would
allow me to take n picture of him con-
ferring his blessing.
I'm absolute silence the pontiff rose
from the throne, and, descending.
placed his hands on me and blessed me,
then glided silently from the room"

DALLAS. Tex.-A great sensation
has been caused in this state by yes
terday's action of the joint committee
of the two houses of the Texas legis-

I'VE are able to state and to report
that in our judgment there exists in
this state combination of persons and
corporations engaged in the business of
packing and selling beef and other like
products. which is in contravention Of
the antitrust law and constitutes a
trust monopoly and a company in re-
straint of trade"
The committee recommends that the
bill making an appropriation of $4,000
TO be placed at the disposal of the at
torney general to secure evidence with
which to prosecute the beef trust be
passed. D." '7e--'.t
This is taken to mean the beginning
