THE LOCUST.

State zoologist H. A. Surface de-
clares in spite of assertions to the
contrary that the real simon-pure
17-year-old locust, the cicada of the
ancients, was abroad in the land of
Pennsylvania this year and has
what he considers indubiable evil
dence that it appeared in sixteen
counties. DR.. Surface is certain
that the locust appeared on schedule
time because he obtained specimens
from every one of the counties and
secured information from local
sources in each county to the effect
that it was in 1894 that the locusts
were bad" the last time.
The visitation of the insects, he
says, was not fraught with much
damage. They went after compara-
lively few trees and probably the
unfavorable weather conditions dis
couraged depredations. In some
counties, notable Somerset, but one
specimen of undoubted lineage was
found and he did not have any rela-
tiyes that could be found. In North
Elm Lancaster a few also appeared
but thunder storms came with them
and the cicada soon left for happier
climes.
/ ne ulSCflCtS OF counties Wnere
the locusts appeared are figured out
this way: Lycoming, Union, Snyder,
Pike, Lebanon, Northampton, Car
bon, Monroe, and Schuylkill and in
Northern Dauphin, Southern Mon
tour, Northern Berks, Northern Le-
high, and Southern Montour.
The zoologist says people should
make memorandas of this date and
see If the locusts do not bob up
again seventeen years hence.

IN CAME OF DEATH
Beattie Selects Jury That
Is TO Try Him.
STRIKES OFF FOUR FROM LIST.
From Sixteen Men Young Man Ac-
eused of Wife Murder Named the
Twelve Who Are to Decide
His Fate.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
24.-There came a moment in the Beat
tie trial when a white faced young de
fendant, with his lips between his
teeth, stood alone before fatal chance
and played the gamblers game. He
played alone, and his game was that
of trying TO pick from row of fifteen
faces of tentative jurymen four in
which there might lurk the shadow of
a menace to him.
A hard game was that which this
young fellow elected to play alone
During two days the judge and his
counsel had gone over the venres.
listening to the qualificationAo Of The
farmers of Chesterfield to sit ~ judg-
ment on the young mans life. Very
carefully they winnowed out sixteen
men, according to the law of Virginia
who were to sit for final elimination
to the jury number of twelve. Judge
Watson had, with grave courtesy, once
more reviewed the list and had made
each man stand and say that he was
still a fit person to render impartial
judgment according to the facts and
the law.
Sixteen men, counted fit by the judge.
sat there; yet there must be only
twelve to hold justice in their hands.
Beattie, his lawyer and his father had
retired to a little jury room, with the
list of the sixteen, and had consulted
for fifteen minutes. They came back.
All sat down but the young prisoner.
he stood with his whitened knuckles
braced on the table in front of him
and looked from face to face in the
jury box across the aisle.
The provisional jury met his gaze.
Most were the faces of young men,
farmers from the wilderness and men
of small trades. A few were old men:
one had a square set jaw and little
eyes that looked severely out of cav
ernous sockets These faces young
Beattie had to read. He shook his
head impatiently. Minutes passed and
there was absolute silence in the little
courtroom. Still his eyes passed slow.
ly from face to face, and the muscles
of his Jaw tweaked and twittered.
Yet the boy stood alone and gazed.
All of sudden his shoulders went
back with quick jerk of decision
He sat down and with a pencil struck
off four of the names on the list be-
fore him. The clerk read the names
of the four jurors thus eliminated
One was the old man with the harsh
eyes, one was youngster no older
than Beattie, who had a disposition to
grin, another was a heavy faced man
with slightly vacuous eyes, and the
fourth was just colorless citizen who
eschewed neckwear
So the young man accused of having
murdered his wife on black road in
Chesterfield county month ago made
his discard and was ready to play the
game with death across the table.
Beattie's lawyers had hoped that the
judge would allow their client to re
main in the Richmond Jail of nights
as he had been doing during the pre-
liminary days of jury getting, but
Judge Watson ruled that he should e
in the dingy lookup behind the court
house, there to remain until his fat,
shall be decided.
