That the seVenteen-year locust is
due to appear next spring is the an
nouncement recently made by ento-
mologists who have kept track of the
little pests visits, and while hereto
fore measures against a locust inva-
sion have proved futile, there is a
possibility that the plan of the Chem
ical-ASrarian Institute, of Goerz, Aus
ira, to reduce their numbers, may be
OF benefit here, not only in the case
OF the seventeen-year locust. but of
the annual supply of grasshoppers.

Whittier the Wind Listed.

There will be various opinions about
the Wellman airship episode. Most
people, now that it is demonstrated
that the balloon actually went to sea.
will be chiefly surprised that the oc-
cupants are alive. Nobody will call
the expedition successful. The charts
that showed SO cleverlE just where the.
balloon was off the New foundland
coast will be called in for revision to
include North Carolina. Evidently she
went whittier the wind listed. and it
listed a good deal.

HE SUES FOR LOST LOVE
CATTERTON IS TWENTY-EIGHT
AND WIDOW sIXTY-EIGHT.
Rejected Suitor Declares Betrothed
Tilted Him on the Day They
Were to Wed.

BALTIMORE. March 10.-The usual or
der is reversed in a number of respects
in a suit for alleged breach OF promise OF
marriage brought yesterday in the court
of common pleas by Frank Catterton
against Mrs. Lucy E. Mcknight, Wild
ow.
Besides being novel from the fact that
the suit is by a man against woman.
an unusual feature is that Mr.. Catterton
is twenty-eight years old, while, it is said,
Mrs Mcknight is sixty-eight. or forty
years his senior. Notwithstanding the
disparity in the ages of the couple. At
torney George s. Cotton, who brought the
suit for Mr.. Catterton says the couple
loved each other. Mr.. Catterton asks
$4,000 damages, and this claim, his at
torney says, includes bouquets. candy and
theater tickets which Mr.. Catterton law
ished upon Mrs. Mcknight during their
lovemaking.
Mr.. Catterton. his attorney says. is a
linotype operator and lives at 81 West
Fayette street. Mrs. Mcknight lives at
1OO6 North Mount street. She, according
to Mr.. Cotton. is very well of. having
$35, 600 in bank. besides owning securities
worth $4,000 and at least six pieces Of
property.
Kept Company Three Years.
About three years ago, MIR. Cotton said.
MIR. Catterton became acquainted with
Mrs. Mcknight when he attended a So
cial gathering at her house. 1t was ap-
parently case of love at first sight. Mrs.
Mcknight invited the young man to call
again. and soon he became a daily Wis
itor for about eighteen months. Then, it
is alleged, Mrs. Mcknight proposed to
Mr.. Catterton that they marry He
agreed A month or two later he OBJ
tanned marriage license and0she was to
meet him at Gilmor and Saratoga streets
to go to a cIergymans home to have the
ceremony performed
Mrs. Mcknight did not meet Mr.. CATER
ton. however. and when he went to her
house it is alleged she told him that she
had changed her mind and that they
would wait until she had her house fixed
up and would be married there. After
extensive repairs had been made to her
house, it is also alleged. Mrs. Mcknight
still declined to marry Mr. Catterton Mr.
Catterton. It is said. continued his nightly
visits, missing only two nights in two
years
While putting the wedding off, il is al
legged. Mrs. Mcknight told Mr.. Catterton
that she would leave him $1,000 in her
will. About six weeks ago Mr. Catterton
stopped visiting her because il is said
she accused him of not turning over to
her all her money he had collected For
this Attorney Cotton said. Mr.. Cstterton
will sue Mrs. Mcknight for SANDER.
