RED SPIDER ARMY
INVADES CAPITAL
Insects Doing Heavy Damage to
Foliage in Parks and Pri-
vate Places.

Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director
OF public buildings and public parks,
today ascertained that a red army
has marched" on Washington and is
occupying the Capitol and White House
grounds, in addition to other parts of
the city.
The colonel explained that the
enemy is the red spider, an insect
pest of microscopic minuteness, making
up in numbers what it lacks in indi-
vidual size. Attacking trees, shrubs,
plants, flowers and vines. the pest is
invading the yards of private residences
as we'll as the parks. the colonel pointed
out. adding that at this season espe-
cially, oak and cherry trees, hydrangea
and phlox are attacked.
The underside of the foliage is usually
attacked by the red spider. which sucks
the sap, devitalizing leaves, causing
them to discolor and fall Frequent
spraying can control the infested
plants and trees, the colonel asserted
breaking up the minute webs spun by
the insects, through use of nicotine
sulphate solution.

night the liquor traffic must be de-
stroyed, or it will eventually destroy

the greatest crime producing agency in
the United States Every legitimate
business enterprise seeks to strengthen
and fortify the constitutional guaran-
ties life, liberty and happiness, and
serves as a home builder instead of a
home wrecker. Any business enterprise,
irrespective Of its kind. which destroys
the individual, wrecks the home and
puts a blight upon posterity. does not
deserve the protection of the law. but
deserves to be banished and utterly de-
stroyed by due process of law"
Following the address. the members

of the eighteenth amendment and
pledged themselves to work for the ad-
vancement of temperance.

ceding session. Enactment of the un-

raise the sum to $558,776.000
Appropriations provided since Con-
gresS convened in December, have
reached a grand total of about $5,415.-
100000. This figure includes funds ap-
propriated for the current fiscal year
as well as deficiency and extraordinary
appropriations used in the 1882 fiscal
year.
Sj,l18,524,0O Last Session.
The last session of Congress which
ended March 4. 1881, appropriated S5.-
178524, 900, giving the present economy
bound>session a generous excess of $236,-
776.000 to its credit. and the end is not
yet. The Unemployment relief bill
carries an appropriation of 1922 000,
coo for public works. When it is
finally passed. the record of the present
session is destined to reach $55S,776.-
600 beyond the appropriations of the
preceding session.
The estimate of the appropriations
was based on tabulation Of the sums
carried in the regular and miscellaneous
supply bills, plus the permanent annual
and indefinite appropriations, and a
comparison with similar appropriations
made by the former session of Congress
The nine regular appropriation bills
for the 1888 fiscal year. carried a total
of S31387730OO, compared with S.
asa .842 900 for the 1882 fiscal year The
reduction in these regular appropria-
tions amounted to s3160690 000 The
savings, however. were Offset by in
in miscellaneous acts carrying appro-
priationS.
Not Affected by Saving.
The savings resulting from the econ
omv act with its compulsory payless
furlough for Government employees, will
not affect the sum of the appropria-
tiOns. The amount saved will be i'm
pounded by the Treasury, subject to fur
ther orders of Congress.
1t is pointed out that the total
amount of the appropriations does not
accurately reflect prospective eXpendi-
lures during fiscal year. since an ap-
preparation for a given fiscal year does
not necessarily mean its expenditure in
that year. In the case of the current
fiscal year. it is probable that expendi-
tures will be held down below the reg
ular appropriations as result of tine
operation Of the provisions of the econ
omy act and other savings.
