DEMOCRATS SPLIT, BUT
UNITE ON WOODROW WILSON
Straight Ticket Men of Madison
Organize Wilson Club.

MADISON. Oct. 1.-The faction of
the Democratic party favoring a
straight ticket, led by George #.
Weber, have organized Wilson club.
Former Mayor James p Albright mas
been chosen president, Edward A.
Isaacs vice president, Edward O'Don-
nell secretary, and Daniel Dunn treas
urer. Five honorary vice-presidents
were chosen, Edward Rafter, ]. F. Nc
Kenney, David Shannon, H. p. Hopper
and Alexander Eagles. The club con-
sists of forty-two members
There is a question about the right
of this faction to organize such club.
The members of the Democratic party
desiring a Citizens ticket assert that,
considering only three members of the
Democratic executive committee were
taken into the club, these Democrats
had no right to organize such a club
unless all were taken In. Citizens
ticket advocates state that state
policies will be now mixed with local
issues.
Not to be outdone, the remaining
members of the Democratic executive
committee will get together during
next week and organize Wilson club
of their own. 1t is thought that the
fact that the straight ticket faction
named former Mayor Albright, Hopper
and Shannon as officers as a conces-
sion to the Citizens ticket faction, for
these men are in favor of the Citizens
ticket.
Woodrow Wilson has considerable
support here.

Bride Won Economically Flees
When the Rent Falls
Due.

ELIZABETH, Oct 1.-The romance
of William Meyer. of Spring street, this
city, is shattered.
After travelling to Baton Rouge, be-
ing injured by piece of falling lun-
ber and nursed by a charming young
woman, and, last but not least, marry
ing her. Meyer arrived at his home
few days ago to find that his wife
had Welded to the lure of the South.
On a table was found a letter con-
tanning the following verses written by
his missing wife;
"The rose is red.
The violet's blue
] love you, kid
But the rent is due.
81, "The rose may be red,
The violet blue;
But I've spent the money,
Now it's up to you"
After Meyer read the note it was not
pnly the violet that was blue.
The marriage was the elimination of
pretty romance that began in a
Baton Rouge hospital. Meyer went to
that city for a local company, and
while working was hit by falling log.
He was taken to a hospital and in
the institution he met the young wunl-
an. who nursed him back to health.
Their friendship ripened into love and
the wedding was arranged.
A few weeks ago Meyer brought his
bride to this city and they settled in a
house in Spring street.

'DAINTlNEss IN SERVING TEA
Small Things That Count For Much In This Most Pleasant After
 noon Function.

As young women are SO often asked to pour tea for their friends who are entertaining. they should realize what a difference it makes how the tea is served. If this is done in a careless manner the guests have always the feeling that something may at cnv moment be upset. and the quiet and repose, which is an essential element in that most peaceful function, is lost
 It is well for the person who pours the tea to rearrange the tray before the arrival of the guests, so that each piece is just where she is accustomed to have it, otherwise she is apt to fum- ble and move the things about. As far as possible reaching over the ta- ble should be avoided and in moving the china care should be taken never to touch the rims of the cups.
 Observing these little points makes the difference between an impression of daintiness and the reverse. for which some guests would care more than for the flavor of the tea.

ANTS DEsTRoYERs OF FLIES
Why It Is That inhabitants of the Philippines Are Free of One
 Insect Pest.

Capt Percy l.. Jones of the army medical corps. reports that flies are comparatively rare in the Philippines because of a species of ant which con sumes the. larvae of the fly with ayidity.
 Upon watching these ants attack fly larvae" he says, 'ft is interesting to note that they do so in way which proves that they are no novices at the procedure One will attack an extremity and apparently bite it, and as soon as the larvae begins to coil and make efforts to escape numbers of others will immediately jump upon it, and in the course of few mo- ments the larvae will be apparently dead.
 "I believe that the ant introduces some venom in the act of biting, formic acid in character. which pre- serves the larvae as food until such time as the ant needs it-cans it, in other words. As soon as the strug- gles of the larvae have ceased they haul 1t off to their nests and return for others. In many instances I have seen them carry away pupae- It will be interesting for the reader to pro cure few maggots and place them over an ant bed"
 So far as is known this species of ant is not found in the United States and indeed is not yet classified. Cap tain Jones has considered the prac- ticability of introducing it into coun- tries where the extermination of the fly is destined to become an impor- tant feature of sanitation This ant is said to be an energetic destroyer of bed bugs as well as of f1ies.-From the Military Surgeon
