w. C. r. U. MEETING
Description of the Womans' Temple
 Recently Built in Chicago.

! Recently Built in Chicago. i Special correspondence to The News The West Cornwall Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union held a parlor meeting with Mrs. Edward Smith and Mrs. Coons on Sept. 2nd.
 Mrs. Carse, of Chicago, who IS visit ] ing at her sons home, formerly the Smith farm on the Housatonic below West Cornwall, had been invited to address the ladies of the vicinity.
 She gave very interesting account of the inception and presen5 condition of the work relating to the building of the Womans' Temple in Chicago.
 The necessity for having place for evangelistic meetings held by the Chris tian Temperance Union and the desir- ability for central head quarters sug- gested to Mrs. Carse the place to build for themselves structure worthy of | the cause and one that sh o ul d bring some income the National treas ury. The enterprise was heartily en- dorsed by Miss Willard and others. and approved by National conventions. A most desirable location was rented of Marshall Field for 19S years without re-valuation and Mr. Field held $200, ,000 of the stock. The building was con- pleted in 1899.
 ''It is strictly fire-proof 1S16 stories h1oh o1 ,,,, ,.l Is considered to be one of the most beau tiful of the modern office buildings in the world. On@the ground floor is Will lard Hall with sealing capacity of 600. In this hall gospel temperance meetings are held daily where great numbers of drinking men are reclaimed and become good citizens"
 The ground on which the Temple stands is now valued at $1,275. .000. The total rentroll from offices for 1907 was SIT. 7.453.
 | Just after the erection of the bnilding came finanicial crash and owing to the hard times many became discouraged because of the great debt on the building and abandoned the enterprise. But Miss Willard. to the last, stood by the stockholders and Mrs. Carse under great difficulties has labored on to carry the work to 8 successful issue.
 The stock is now nearly all owned by the women, or pledged to them, and when the Temple trustees secure the entire ownership they propose to have this great building dedicated as mem orial to Frances Willard and the name changed to Willard Temple.
 It will be worthy tribute to this un- selfish great hearted woman and the revenues may then be used to promote the ideas and objects to which she de- voted her life." K. M. s.

A fine young tur- keys the result and knowing housewives will scramble over one another to buy him." The farmer turned to a chicken. "This bird is regular skeleton, isn't she?" he said. "New watch me. See, lay her on her back, place this heavy board on her breast. Then tomorrow when I come to take her to market the board will have made her scraggy breast bone almost invisible, and it will have given her very full, plump sides-no breastbone, fat sides-the sure signs of fat and tender young chicken"

MUST HAVE SENSATION
Local Instance of the Distortion of
 Facts by New York DailIes.

Local Instance of the Distortion of
 Facts by New York Dailles.
 From report of the supposed death of Mrs. Barnum of Falls Village which was sent The New York Herald from Winsted we make the following ex- tract. The report told of the supposition that Mrs Barnum was dead and the preparations for laying out." the rais- ing of the knee etc.
 It continues: "In few minutes Mrs. Barnum opened her eyes and said she was hungry.
 Mrs. 'Barnum then lapsed into un- consclousness for 24 hours and then seemed to die again. The second time she was "laid out" and the undertaken oalled.* Just as the undertaken was about to begin his work slight pulsa- tion in a vein i'll Mrs. Barnum's neck was observed.* Since then Mrs. Barnum has been growing stronger. The local physicians are puzzled over the case of Mrs. Barnum.* The un- dertaker has removed his embalming materials from the house.
 The above is another evidence of the destortion of the news matter which ap- pears in the daily papers, not accidental distortion but distortion by intent. And the man who sent this story is not as much at fault as the papers. It is sensation they desire and sensation they must have. If the truth is not suf- ficently sensational, a vivid imagination must be brought into play and the story "dressed up" and when this process is completed the matter sometimes falls little short of the ridiculous. The cor respondent knows that the more sensa- tion in his stories the more ot them the papers will use therefore imagination has free rein. -..
 Take, for instance, the above extract. It says in the first sentence that when Mrs. Barnum opened her eyes she re- marked that she was hungry. As a matter of fact she said no such thing.
 Then it is reported that she appeared to have "died again" and that she was laid out second time. No effort what ever was made to Hay her out" when she became unconscious second time. No undertaken was present, ill fact he was not in the house during either of the periods when the woman was un- conscious. Another sentence says that since then she has been growing stronger. Such is not the case. "Locsl physicians are puzzled" says the report '' No truth in it. The physician in charge understands the case thoroughly. The report further states that the under taker has removed his embalming mate. rials from the house. The fact of the matter is that he never had them there. Here are five or six mis-statements in the news story. But it made sensation consequently was 'featured's by the Herald, read and probably believed by hundreds of people unless they have learned, as many have, that the average news story in the Heading dailies'' is about one third fact and two-thirds i'm. agination. And this instance, near home when the facts are known, land which facts were printed by THE NEWS taken from our paper and enlarged by the correspondent above referred to) is cited to show how small an element oi truth some of these reports contain.

RAID THE TREES
Pests Hold Forth in All Parts
Of the City and Eat
the Foliage

Shade trees throughout the city are
being denuded Of leaves by one % tho
most remarkable visitations OF cater
pillars in years. Unusually favorable
conditions evidently marked the egg
laying season year ago. and the long.
hot. dry spell has also contributed to-
ward the plague.
Whatever the causes may be. the
fact remains that the city Is alive with
these crawling pests. Poplars and
other trees with pulpy leaves are IA
vorltes. but not a single variety has
escaped the visitation. and on the west
side entire rows have been reduced to
bare boughs and limbs. from which
lutter the dead or dying fragments OF
what two weeks ago was splendid TO-
liage.
Sprayings OF Bordeaux mixture and
other protective fluids are being tried
with little effect. and wrappings OF
"tanglefoot" or cotton are equally In
effective.
The caterpillars are not combining
themselves to trees, but are wriggling
their way over sidewalks and up walls.
land are driving housekeepers to dis
traction.
A man who has made a study OF
the caterpillar question says:
Every year during the winter and
early spring months the attention Il
the public Is called to the necessity
of scraping from trees the white egg
clusters OF the tussuck moth. These
clusters. which are about the size OF
very small peach stone, are attached
TO the rough bark OF the tree trunk
and can be readily reached. II the egg
masses are scratched OF and burned,
the eggs will be destroyed, and hence
there can be no caterpillars to hatch
and TO grow upon the foliage.
After they have appeared a suro
cure is Paris green. One tngenious
way to use this is TO pour half pound
or a pound into the garden hose before
attaching It to the spigot. Set the noz-
zle at the spray and turn on tho
water Trees thus sprinkled are fully
protected, II this is thoroughly done.
In the morning, after the spraying.
thousands of dead caterpillars will be
found upon the pavement, as they feed
all night. Every part of the foliage
must be we'll reached"
