Dees Like Mineral Water.

For the tenth successive autumn
mineral water factory at Carditf,
wales. was recently invaded by bees,
which come in huge companies. All
through the week the cloud of bees in
creased in dimension, and ut the end
Of the week the avalanche was
record. The firm have consulted local
3eeseepers ard experts, but no one
can say where the bees come from,
although peekeepers in the neighbor-
ing suburbs state that they have lost
large numbers. Bee experts say they
may come from many miles around.
The remarkable thing is that al
though this one particular factory has
Been honored by these armies OF Wis
itors for ten years two mineral water
factories quite near at hand have
been left severely alone. Another
curious thing is that the bees come
every morning as soon as day breaks
and d2ra-t when the sun does down.
they do not deliberately sting, bu:
some employees have been stung
through catching hold Of some uten'
sil upon which bees have fastened.

MATTER FOR CAREFUL INQUIRY
japanese Minister's Ciffidence In Pres
-. ence Of Emperor Is Cause of
,e sr Funny Freak.

. 81
The late emperor Of Japan was re-
garded with the greatest veneration
b. his subjects, and this attitude of
awful reverence was maintained also
by his ministers, in spite OF the fact
that affairs of state made it necessary
for them 10 see him and converse with
him very frequently.
One of these ministers, the Marquis
Matsugata, used to experience agonies
Of nervousness every time he had an
audience of his sovereign, and he was
never able to say anything distinct
in reply to him except the set phrase
II shall have careful investigation
made, your majesty"
This generally brought him safely
through short audience, but one day,
unfortunately, the emperor conde-
scended to discuss the marquis moro
private affairs.
How many children have you" the
emperor asked.
Back came the inevitable phrase,
81 shall have careful investigation
made, your majesty"
The story loses nothing from the
fact that the marquis had very large
family indeed.

MARTIN WILL BE LEADER.
Opposition Dwindles-Good Chance
Fer Y. NJ. /. Claim.

Richmond. Jan. 16.-No doubt what
ever exists that Senator Thomas ,.
Martin will be reelected chairman OF
the Democratic caucus Of the Senate
and will be leader Of the majority
party afer March 4th, in the opinion
Of Colonel Joseph Button, who spent
Monday in Washington, returning 10
this city Tuesday.
Most of those who opposed Senator
Martin two years ago are now Tor
him. said Colonel Button. The twenty
eight who were said to be DESTROYS OF
voting against him have dwindled to
eight, and when the time comes to
vote there will be only one or two IN
opposition, he thinks.
Prospects for the passage at this
session of the bill reilnbursing the
Virginia Military Institute for DANA
ges in Hunters raid in 1864, are en-
ceedingly bright. Colonel Button
found leaders on both sides Of the
House heartily favoring it. Repre-
sentative Flood, patron of the bill in
the House, said he had pledge from
all over the country. Senator Du-
Pont, the Senate patron ard Repub-
iican leader, is active for the measure.
There is some question whether or
not the bill must go first before the
Court Of Claims, in which event it
would be delayed until the next ses-
sion. If not, i tmyamfhr rfshr hrr
sion. IF not, it may become law be-
fore March.
