Trenton. many foreigners in South Trenton were parting at half price with bright, new, silver dol lars bearing the date of 1879, it has been necessary for some of the banks to announce that these dollars are not counterfeits. The cry was raised among the small tradespeople that money of this particular date was no good, and several strangers have been going about collecting them.

hairs which cover the caterpillars oi this moth are strongly nettling, and not only are they so from accidental contact with the caterpillar which may fall on clothes, face, neck, or hands from an infested tree, but also from the myraids of hairs which are shed by these caterpillars when they trans form to the chrysalis state. The lat ter fall and find lodgment on cloth ing. or collect on the face, neck, or hands, and frequently cause very dis agreeable and extensive nettling, the effects of which may last for months. Breathed into the lungs they may cause inflammation and become pro ductive of tuberculosis. The brown tail rash is well known throughout the regions infested in New England and thousands have suffered from it. All of the assistants who have been with these pests in the New England states have been seriously poisoned. Two of them have had to give up their work and go to the southwest to at- tempt to recover from pulmonary trou- bles superinduced by the irritating hairs of the brown-tail moth, and the death of one man employed on the work was due to severe internal poi soning contracted in field work against larvae. This insect is, therefore, a most undesirable neigh bor, even if it were not responsible for great injury to orchards and orna- mental trees.

CARDINALS CALLED
IN PRIESTS SUIT
Pope's Evidence May Convict
UnfrOcked Jesuit.

Rome, May g.-Cardinals Respighi and
Martnelli have been summoned to tes-
tify in the libel suit brought by the
Jesuit priest Bricareln against verdisi,
the unfrocked priest who is now harbored
by the American Methodsts. The cardi-
mails are exempted from attendance at
court and will be examined separately at
their own residences.
Verdisi, who was secretary to Cardinal
Martinelli. alleged that BriscarelH. who
was his confessor. forced him to give the
names of Roman priests who were Sc
cretly allied with Modernists, and that
BriscaerlH communicated with the Pope,
who ex-communicated the priests.
Briscarelli denies coercing Verdisi.
Cardinal Respighi has admitted that he
was instructed by the Pope to write
Briscarelli a letter which was produced
in court, disproving Verdisrs accusation
that Briscarelli had violated the secrecy
of the confessional
The letter practically amounts to the
Pope's evidence In favor Of Briscarelli
and will likely lead to the conviction Of
NerdiSi.

COMMISSION COSTS
BOTHER WILLIAMS
Senator Will Ask Enlighten-
ment on Expenditures.

1t was divulged yesterday that Senator
John Sharp Williams. Of Mississippi, will
make his maiden speech in the Senate at
an early day on the subject Of the ex-
traordinary number and large cost Of
commissions which have been authorized
and installed by Congress. A resolution
calling for a general investigation Of
government commissions was introduced
some time ago by Senator Williams.
Apparently he is impressed with the
need for its early adoption. for II Is un-
derstood the Mississippian is stocking
up on an array of facts and figures
which are to produce the foundation of
a most interesting speech.
Beyond a few remarks delivered In the
Senate last week in connection with
the resolution to elect United States Sen
ators by direct vote, the voice of John
Sharp Williams has not been heard in
the halls of Congress since his service
in the House three years ago as the
leader of the Democratic minority. In
those days there were battles royal In
the forensic arena of the House, and
with Mr.. Williams ever in the thick Of the
doings. His appearance in debate In the
Senate has been looked forward to with
mch anticipation and there was some
disappointment the other day when, in
preface TO his few remarks on the cleo
tion bill, he said that he had not in
tended to be heard during the session.
report which has recently come from
one of the commissions. showing ex-
traordinarily large expenditures within
three years of existence. is said TO have
aroused the fighting spirit of the Mis-
sissippian. He has abandoned his de
termination TO be silent. and is now
rapidly acquiring a fund of data with
which to arouse the Senate to the ad-
visibility of adopting his resolution and
holding an investigation of the various
commissions. which are said to be nearly
thirty in number.
