WILD MAN WITH HORNS
He Applied to a Surgeon to Have
Them Removed.

Chicago. Nov. "A dispatch to the Tri-
bune from Springfield, Ill. says:
real wild man, with horns and huge
tusks. was discovered here yesterday He
is George Brown, a big negro hailing
from Georgia, who applied to DR.. Walter
Ryan to have the silver plate which held
the horns in place removed from his
head.
For more than year and six months
the negro has been carrying the plate
about on his head, concealed beneath
the scalp. but recently it began to slip
out of place, causing considerable discom-
fort. He said that the plate had been
inserted under his scalp for the purpose
of fastening two horns upon it. At the
same time two of his front teeth had
been sawed off and Supplied with gold
crowns, upon which could be screwed
two formidable looking tusks, and when
this had been accomplished he went on
the road with a show, posing as a real
wild man
He declared that in this fashion he had
travelled all over the state of Georgia,
attracting wondering multitudes of peO-
pie who came to gaze on the real live
wild man" captured in the recesses Of
Africa
been hurting him for some time, DR..
Ryan took the man to st. Johns hos
pital where he removed it.

New York, Nov. 2-The proposed au-
topsy upon the body of Mrs. Margaretta
Todd, the rich woman who was found
dead on a railroad track in Philadel-
phia, after a mysterious trip from this
city was to have been held today, but
was postponed until tomorrow. DR..
O'Hanlon, the corOner's physician, in
tends to have the contents Of Mrs.

Gus anonymous letter, which the COR
oner has received. The writer of the
letter declared that knockout drops
were first administered to Mrs. Todd
after which she was thrown upon the
railroad tracks.
Further moves in the legal tangle
attending the attempts by several per
sons to secure portions of the whole of
Mrs Todd's estate in this city were ex-
pected today. George J. Hastings,
counsel for Mrs. Todd's daughter, Mrs.
Frank Tousey said today that will
prepared by Mrs. Todd and later than
the one offered for probate was in ex-
istence and in the hands of one of the
parties interested in Mrs. foods af-
fairs.
Mr.. Hastings promised to present af-
fidavits to the district attorney today
to prove the existence of this latter viii
and to institute legal proceedings to
have it made public.

OLDEST OF ALL CROP PESTS.
Hessian Fly Brought to United States
During the Revolution.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that its
name was given 1t as a result of the
fact that it was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the
impedimenta of the American revolu-
tionists by George III in 1875. 1t was
first noticed on Long Island about 125
years ago, and has since spread cock
tensively with the progress of civiliza-
ton and wheat growing-west, north
and south Sometimes 1t completely
destroys the growing wheat in certain
sections, and the average loss it
causes is about 100000 bushels an
nually, or about or per cent of the
total crop. The chronological bureau
has studied it long and closely, and
the recommendations made to wheat
growers have undoubtedly kept the
damage far below what it would
of the best efforts of the scientists
and the farmers who act on their ad-
vice, the fly got beyond control during
the season of four years ago and de-
stroyed fully 80 per cent of the crop
in the infested region, the resultant
loss being in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 600 or $40,0OO,000. This ex-
traordinary and unfortunate develop
ment was due to weather conditions
favorable to the pest and to an I'M
usual scarcity of its parasitic enemy.
The parasite which formed inside the
body of the fly. has been secured in
large numbers by the entomologists
and liberated in several wheat grow
ing states, and much good has re-
sulted.-Chieago Chronicle.
