Fight the Caterpillars.

In spite Of frequently sounded warn
ings, caterpillars are being allowed to
continue their destructive work over
large areas of Orleans county. Many
trees along the roadsides have been
stripped of their foliage. Some OF
these trees may be useless except fo1
what they add to the pleasure OF
driving through the country, but they
become positively ugly when robbed OF
their leaves ana covered with worms
nests
This is not all many of the cater
pillars VIII migrate to fruit trees. anc
then there is the ever increasing
number of insece pests which must be
checked some time, or every greer
leaf will be destroyed. Fight the
caterpillars. You have been told how
in previous issues of this paper.

of the lobby proceeded today before

James A Emery, counsel for the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
went before the senate committee and
denied Martin NJ. MulhalTs allega-

tempted to pack congressional commit

Mulhall himself before the house
committee had a stormy session with
attorneys for Representative McDer-

had lent at least 1900 to McDermott.
'I can furnish the committee with
enough information about McDermott
so that the people would tar and feath-

HIRED TO QUIT THAW.
Show Girl Wife Says She Was Prom
ised 1000 Month.

New York, Aug. 26.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, testifying before a referee in
bankruptcy. swore today that Harry
Thaws mother had contracted to pay
her $4,000 cash and $1,000 month as
long she (Evelyn) should live, to en-
ter into an action for the annullment
of her marriage to Harry Thaw.
This contract. the show girl testified
was made some time in 1907 or 1908
after Thaw had killed Stanford White
and was now in possession of her law
yer. John Reilly of this city.
Mr.. Reilly also had checks for $4,000
one of them for So, O00-bearing Mrs.
Mary Thaw's signature-none of which
had been hOnored, the witness added
These checks. she said, were the first
payment on the contract.
Evelyn Thaw appeared before the
referee in supplementary proceedings
instituted by her creditors to determine
if she had any assets. She recently
filed voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy.
Harry provided for me till he went
to Matteawan," she testified. After
that 1 received remittances from the
Thaw family until last summer, when
they We're cut off.
In 1907 or 1861 can't say exactly
I entered into a contract with Harry's
mother which made provision for me
for the rest of my life. This contract
provided for an income for life of 81, 900
monthly and $4,000 in cash provided
1 sued for an annulment of my mar
riage to Harry"
Did you ever bring suit for an
nulment?" asked the lawyer.
Mrs. Thaw leaned forward and had
just said, Il did, when Mr. Reilly,
who represented her in the bank
ruptcy matter. entered an objection
to the question on the ground that
the answer might incriminate the wit
ness. The objection resulted in con-
siderable argument and the hearing
was adjourned till next week

MAY COME OCT. |.
NewIand Thinks Cut in Water Rates
Come Then.

A cut in the rates charged domestic
users of city water, promised by Com
missioner F. M. Newland. may become
effective October L, and will not be
later than November 1. The date is
being advanced because work on the
installation of the new pump is pro-
crossing faster than was anticipated,
and no trouble so far has been expert
enced.
Just what the cut will be Commits
sioner Newland says he does not know
He admits, however, that it may be to
IS cents a thousand gallons, which
means a cut of 10 cents a thousand gal
Ions under the price now charged. He
hopes to make the cut effective Octo-
Der 1.
, 1t originally was the plan to begin
testing the big new pump about Sep
TENDER Is. The work has progressed
so rapidly and smoothly, however, that
practically all connections will be I'M
ished this week and the tests are eX-
pected to begin sometime next week,
perhaps early in the week, or two
weeks sooner than was expected. To-
day Workmen have been engaged in
connecting up the big pipes between
the pumps and the wells, linking the
new pump to the system. The connec-
ton with the mains toward the city
from the pumps already has been COM
pleted.
Much will depend upon the condi-
ton of our finances" Commissioner
Newland said today with reference to
the cut in water rates. 4 hope we
may put the cut into effect October !.
