RATS TERR0RIZE A COUNTY
Man-Eating Rodents Chew Ears From
Cow and Kill Poultry and
Frighten Arkansas
to The Herald.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June 2S.-
Washington county is scourged by
rats. They are killing chickens by the
hundred and are attacking stock. In
some instances their assaults have
proved fatal. The towns are overrun
by the rodents, but the greatest injury
inflicted by them is in the country. 1t
is not uncommon for a farmer to dis
cover in the morning the dead bodies
of dozen or more chickens.
On the farm of William Dowell a
yearling got it's head caught one night
recently in a fence so that 1t could
not extricate itself The following
morning it was found with it's ears
gnawed off by rats. T. C. Button a
stock raiser in Washington cunty, re-
ports the loss of two yearlings by the
rat pest.
Thursday night the Springfield cornet
band recei ID their new uniforms and
left them over night on a table in a
room where they met for practice. The
following morning they found the uni
forms torn into shreds by the rats
Henry Bierlow, stock raiser, living
two miles west of Viney Grove, has
had twenty sheep killed by rats during
| the last week. The rats ate only por-
| tions of the carcasses neXer molesting
the bodies after the first night the
sheep were killed.
Near the little town of Tolu, in the
southwestern part of the county, the
three months infant of Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Grover had part of one
of it's arms eaten off by the rats.
Where these armies of rats come
from is a mystery, and how to get rid
of them is a problem, the solution OF
which is puzzling the people.

BIG HEADGEAR AT PLAY TO GO
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt Joins Paris
League and Will Bring Reform
to New York
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 23.-What protest and
supplication, attack by onslaught or
strategy, failed to effect for play-going
man, woman has herself undertaken to
accomplish in his interests. The lead
ers of fashion in Paris have formed the
League of Little Hats, the declared OBJ
ject of which is to give the theaters
relief from stupendous headgear.
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt has joined the
league and has taken such a lively in
terest in it that she has practically
pledged herself to set a similar move
ment on foot in New York
1t was the countess of Greffulhe who
had the courage to first grapple with
so unpopular philanthropy. And, be-
ing a woman, she realized that no ar
gument based on mere humanity would
carry the necessary conviction and
ouSt the bonnetS. To make the re-
form certain it was obligatory to
change the fashion. Therefore she en-
listed the cooperation of some of the
richest and most stylish leaders of the
great world" They not only readily
gave their assent to appear at the play
in a so-to-speak decollete headpiece,
but arranged bazaar at the residence
of one of the fashionables on Rue
d'Asborg, where they sold small bon
nets made by their own fair hands at
enormous prices, giving the profits to
charity and the new mode to the wo-
men who would lend it the cachet of
elegance
The hats had a pronounced success,
the aristocratic names attached being
sufficient to charm with.
The leading milliners '.ecame inter-
ested, too, and supplied some models.
They were quick to see that it would
be not only profitable but Imperative
to bow to the decree of such dictators
in high society as the Princess de Lu-
cinge, Duchess de Fessenzac, Duchess
de Guiche Marchioness de Jaucourt,
Countess de Talleyrand, Countess Re-
cope, Countess de Fels and Countess
de Guerne. So there were on exhibition
models designed by the famous houses
of Virot earlier, Marie elliot, Esther
Meyer, Honorine, Jeanne Taty, Desfon-
tanes, Camille Roger and Leontine.
So the seal of fashion has been for
mally placed on the small hat for tho
theater.
The Countess Greffulhe is overjoyed
at the leagues brilliant start.
"I do not expect wonders in a mo-
ment," she said, but 1 believe the
League of Little Hats will make its.
way and ultimately conquer the stupid
fashion of wearing large hats at the
theater. The Countess de Mas ana
many of the real grandes DANES of
Paris have espoused the cause, and
our bazaar was a revelation. I got
three orders from my model" and she
displayed sapphire crown of velvet
caught with an ornament. which is her
modish suggestion for theater use.
THAT means $115. None of the ladies
of the league will wear their own hats.
though they will wear other small ones:
But they have started fashion, and of
course it will be extensively followed.
They have also raised considerable
sum for charity"
Somebody has aptly described the
new hat as an idea tied with a bow"

speciai to The Herald.

NEW YORK, June 2S-The crew Of
the American ship John A. Briggs,
which arrived here yesterday, 157 days
from Port Blakeley, said that in the
Pacific the vessel began to steer wildly
and describe circles.
After investigation it was found that
strakes of green planking, which had
been put on astern, had sprouted pine
branches some of them ten feet long.
these had thrown the lumber ship on
her proper course.
'All hands went over side and sawed
off the growth" said the oldest sailor
man. Then the old hooker found her
course"
Capt. Jensen. however, had made no
