A Humorous Mystery Novel in the
September Lippincott's.

The complete novel in the Sep.
tember LiAbine0tS is a humorous
mystery story called "a Bride for
Casey" Ella Middleton Tybout,
a young writer whose literary out
put is distinguished more for quail
ity than for quantity, wrote it. The
scene is laid in New York City,
where dwell the four impecunious
young gentlemen who are the prin-
cipal male characters. 1t was
"Casey's own idea that lie marry a
wealthy girl in order to be able 20
help his friends as we'll as relieve
his own straitened financial condi-
ton. Yet the finding of a suitable
bride for him proved difficult in
spite of their long list of friends
and acquaiutances for Casey was
hard TO please. Finally the choice
narrowed down 10 three girls, all
young, lovely, and rich. But Casey
doesn't mary any OF them. Yet
for some time his existence. as well
as his friends, could scarcely be
described as lethargic, Miss Ty-
bouts plot is such an ingenious one
that it would be a shame to be
more explicit here and thus spoil
the pleasure Of the many who will
read the story.
Many choice short stories, by
Mary Roberts Rinehart, Thomas l..
Mason. George Allan England,
Caroline Ticknor, Hornor Cotes,
and others will be found in the
September L.3pmeoRS. Special
articles, poetry, and humorous
matter, of course.

Seventeen Year Locust.

1t is said that this is the season
seventeen year locusts are due.
According to reports they are
nearing the surface of the ground
in southern New Jersey. In 1892,
they appeared in great numbers in
many places.
Many are the illusions in the
Old Testament to the flight of these
insects and the Prophet Joel (ch. ii)
gives fine description of their ap.
pearance. The locusts were con-
sidered by the Hebrews and other
eastern nations, and still are by the
Arabs, as the avenging armies of
the Deity. According to history
they do not appear in those old
countries in large numbers only on
every fourth or fifth season and are
used for food in countries where
they abound. In many towns in
Arabia they are sold by measure.
They often destroy in their march
every particle of vegetation, whole
districts being devasted by them.
Accounts are given where rivers
have been blocked and many square
miles covered by them. The stencil
of their decaying bodies affected
the air for hundreds of miles. They
have also committed ravages in
America. Toward the middle of
the eighteenth century these insects
were so abundant in northern New
England that days OF fasting aud
prayer were appointed on account
of the widespread calamity caused
by them. In later years they were
very destructive in the newly set
tied states and territories.
Iu 1874 under the name of grass
hopper they committed terrible raw
ages in Minnesota and other west
ern states destroying about one
tenth of the grain crop.

Democracy in Earnest.
Will Make Fight Of Parly's Life for Dis
franchisement

Senators, Congressman and other
speakers from all the Southern
States which have gone through
the process of disfranchising their
negroes will take part in the great
campaign now beginning in Mary
land in support of the constitution
al amendment to disfrauchise the
colored voters of this State. From
present indications the Democrats
are going to make the fight of their
party's life in Maryland to carry
the amendment. All other issues
with them will be subordinated and
it will be a miscalculation to pre-
sumo that they are not in earnest
about the fate of the amendment.
The Democratic leaders know
full well that it means much for the
future of their party to get certain
elements out of politics. They con-
troll the city and State now by a
narrow margin, but they believe
they would control it for an indef-
mite period by wide margin should
they eliminate the illiterate negro
and the other illiterates of other
races along with them. The State
Committee will meet in Baltimore
September to formally notify DR..
j. w. Herring of his nomination to
succeed himself as State Comptrol-
Ter. This formality really is an ex-
cuse for conference Of the party
people and for the real launching
of the campaign.
"Tbe Democratic party of Mary
land is united" ," said State Chair
man Vandiver the other day, and
will wage one of the most progress
i've and aggressive campaigns nat
has ever been made in Marylaud.

one of the best ever put forth by
the party and, in my judgment, is
superior to that named by the Re-

J. Wood Clark.
Democratic Nominee for Auditor General.

7. Wood Clark was born in Indi.
ana, Pa, January :, 1865. He was
the second son of the late Justice
Silas NJ. Clark. He attended the
public schools and then the Normal
School, where he was prepared for
college In 1886 he graduated at
Princeton University. After he
graduated he taught Latin and
Greek in the Normal School for two
years, during which time he had
entered upon the study of Jaw, and
in 1891, he was admitted to practice
law and has continued to do so ever
since, first as partner of Samuel
Cunningham, Esq, and since in
connection with John a, Scott, Esq.
Mr.. Clark has always taken an act
i've interest in politics and has been
Delegate to State ard National
Conventions OF the Democratic
party many times. He has also
been the candidate Of his party for
many county offices and always led
the ticket. In 1896 he was nomiu.
ated for State Senator and received
very complimentary vote but a
Presidential election resulted in his
defeat by the usual majority. In
1897, upon the death OF the late A.
W. Wilson, Mr. Clark was elected
Secretary OF the Board of Directors
of the State Normal School, a posi-
ton he has held ever since. Upon
the organization OF the Savings x
Trust Co., of Indiana, Pa, six sears
ago, Mr.. Clark was elected Direc-
tor and has continued as such ever
since. He has filled all the posi-
tions of life with great credit and
at times when the occasion required
manifested much ability in the con-
duct of campaigns and business af-
fairs. Altogether Mr.. Clark is en-
inently we'll prepared both by edu-
cation and training to undertake
the conduct of the Auditor Gener-
ais Department, should he be elect
ed. With the dissatisfaction that
now exists in the Republican ranks
he will at least make great inroads
on the usual Republican majority.

Race Suicide a Blessing.

Once more Dr. Woods Hutchin-
son has come to the rescue of our
much abused civilization. In Sep.
tember U0mdR'S Home Comba1ion.
he points out that not only are all
wrong about the race. suicide prob
lem, hut there isn't any.
According to Doctor Hutchinson,
the whole question is befogged by
misconceptions. He says the ques.
ticn is not new one, but is very
old. An increasing population is a
sign of civilization. AS for our I'M
mediate foreiathers, they can claim
no credit for large families, for
they either gave no thought to the
question at all. or else welcomed
children as future bread winners.
To sum up" he saws, II be-
lieve that the evidence is conclu.
sive that race suicide, so far as it
has yet gone, has proved All almost
unmixed blessing instead of a
curse; that the race IN never again
return to the method of blind and
wholesale reproduction without
thought OF the future. No class or
group in the community which
believes itself worthy to exist can
o: course view with equanimity
any proposal to limit the offspring
of marriage to less than three, or
such numoe- as may be necessary
to secure the survival of that quota
to adult age, so that the second
generation may BE- at least a trifle
more numerous than the first.
"On the other hand, biologic
morality, while dePrecating the
production of children, who are
likely to be born unfit, or become
50 from lack of proper support and
training, glorifies and exalts as
both the highest racial duty and the
most precious individual privilege
the bearing CT children by those
who are personally fit to bear and
competent to rear such
as will be of value to the state.
There is no achievement better
worth living for, no more valuable
legacy that can be left to the future,
no more enduring 'claim to honor
able remembrance, than a family of
well-born, well-reared children.
AT the same time there is
growing tendency to encourage and
promote in every possible way the
at reasonably early age
Of young people, who are particu-
.arly desirable as future ancestors,
10 use a Hibernicism. Some day
possibly we may become sufficiently
10 endow this sort of
natrimony with state funds. At
all events, an intelligent direction
of race fertility, by selection of
parents and rational limitation of
The number of children, will be the
path OF future progress. -

looking bill to regulate the licensing
of retail liquor places. 1t provides
that not only saloons but restaurants
and cafes may be licensed to sell in
toxicating liquors at retail. The APP
plicant must first apply to the coun-
Gil. In towns he would apply to the
town board and in the country he
would apply to the township trustee.
He would pay all the way from $3.50
to $500 for such concession to the
Board of County Commissioners, and

Some Of the Oddities Of This Peculiar
Creature.
It is remarkable that the toad, low

away from watery regions to dry
ground, where it can never see a drop
Of water except at rain time and leave
its water rights to the undisputed pos
session Of its ranal neighbor the frog.
How the toad loves water must be
known to every garden lover. When
ever there is 4 shower the creature
leaves its cool retreat under the piazza
or shed and stands ~ far n its fore

parently enjoying to the utmost the

In the water fertilization is effected
In the same manner as in fishes, but
the method in the land life career is

Is that confined toads are found with
little toads, NO larger than house dies
about them after a time, and in walled
gardens and places far removed from
water little toads, no larger than peas
wandering around on their own re.
sources and which could never have
been tadpoles, are within common ex.

an elaborate system Of concealed
wires connected to a central Office not
so far away, so that the least tam
pcring with the combination lock or
any attack upon the door or walls
will give the alarm at the central Of
nee, where men are waiting day and
night to run to the rescue. The exact
method and devices that are used are
kept rather secret. for fear the bur-
glars themselves might learn too much
about them, but 1t may be explained
that one part Of the apparatus is an
extremely sensitive relay located at
the central Office. This delicate in
strument closes a local circuit which
sounds the alarm the moment there
Is the slightest disturbance of the hid
den wires at and near the vault, so
that a gang Of burglars could hardly
get to work with their drills and their

law would be upon them.
In addition to protecting vaults and
safes from the direct attacks Of rob-
bers. electricity affords another safe
guard by furnishing light which foods

Indeed. many banks, stores and ware
houses rely mainly upon the electric
