WHAT A SHREWD CHICAGOANSAW
While Spending a Winter in the New Man-
nfactnrinff Districts.
A XEW EITAL FOKCOXKELLSTILLE COKE
TT-rCTU. TXLIOKiH TO Tm DIlrATCO.1
Chicago, April 13. Charles Himrod, a
well-known pig iron broker of this city,
spent nearly the whole ol last winter in the
South, having just returned to Chicago.
Being an iron man he naturally took more
than ordinary interest in the marvelous in
dustrial development of the South. During
his absence he visited all the principal man
ufacturing districts of the South, and for
his own gratification made some inquiries as
to the cost of materials and labor, and
lound out how it is that the South has be
come such a dangerous competitor lor the
Northern markets in certain departments of
trade.
"There is a disposition among Pittsburg
people," said Mr. Himrod thisevening, "to
bury their heads in the sand and imagine
that they are the only people in the country
who can make iron. They have been in the
habit of ignoring the South and of saving
that it could not amount to much and that
its manufacturers ware bound to break up.
A Katlier Serious Mistake.
"Thev never made a greater mistake. The
industrial enterprises of the South have come
to stay. They are increasing in all direc
tions and year by year they are encroaching
more on the markets which have hitherto
been the exclusive property of the North.
'As The DisrATCH stated theotherday,
there are thrcp things which are especially
favorable to the Southern manufacturer.
One is the close proximity of his fuel and
his ore supplies, another is the cheapness
nnd docility of labor, and the third the
che-ipness of railroad rates. The great
cause of cheapness of production is the
proximity of coal and iron ore supplies. I
saw furnaces that obtained their ore and
their coal and coke all within a radius of
five miles, whereas Pittsburg has to
go 800 miles for her oie. Toe ore is not more
easy of access than in the Lake Superior
district, and the deposits are not so large or
in as great variety, or as rich. If the South
had as rich deposits of ore as we have, they
could drive us Northern fellows out of ex
istence. AVe wouldn't mine ores in the
Nortn that are as good as their best because
it wouldn't pay to transport them to our fur
naces. In the South the ores average 40 to
SO and 52 per cent of metallic iron. The
average is perhaps 45 per cent. In the Lake
Superior district 60 per cent of metallic iron
is the lowest grade ot ore used, and frequent
ly the percentage is CG and 68 per cent.
Center of the Southern Activity,
"Bltmingbam, Ala., I suppose, will al
ways be the center of iron manufacture in
the South, and the next best point will be
the district of which Chattanooga, Tenn., is
the center. But Virginia is going ahead
very rapidly and is getting to be a large
manufacturer of iron. AH along the line of
the Norfolk and 'Western Railroad they
are putting in new blast furnaces. They
are building several at Roanoke, one at
Salem, Roanoke county; one at Pulaski,
one at 'Wyfheville, one at Bristol on the
point where the road crosses the State line
between Tennessee and Virginia, one at a
new town in Wythe county called Ivanboe,
and a couple of others at new towns near
Newburn."
"How do those Southern furnaces com
pare in quality with those of the North?"
"They are modern blast furnaces in every
respect," waB Mr. Himrod's reply. "They
are fully as substantial as any at the North.
Indeed, the coke blast furnaces of the South
will average better than those of the North,
because of their modern construction. There
are not so manv bnilt on the old style."
"How does the qunlity of iron which they
produce compare with that ot Northern
iron?"
Depends on the Purpose.
"It is hard to tell whether an iron is good
or poor. That depends on the purpose for
which it is to be used. In Pittsburg, for
instance, an iron to be good must be low in
phosphorus. They are used to using Lake
Superior ores there which are low
in phosphorus and have become
accustomed to regard all others as
inferior. From a Pittsburg point of view '
the iron produced from Virginia ores is bet
ter than that of Tennessee or Alabama-.
That is because it Is lower in phosphorus
and silicon. Other people do not look upon
those elements as so objectionable. Many
mills in the South use Southern pig iron ex
clusively and with very good results, and
others in the North use Southern pig iron
with very little Northern iron in combina
tion." "What is the actual cost to Southern
blast furnace men to produce pig iron?"
"That ot course varies in the different dis
tricts and depends on the location of the
furnace with reference to its ore ahd
fuel supplies. I found one furnace, the
W oodVard, at Wheeling, six miles from
Birmingham, Ala., where pig irou is made
at a cobi of close to $8 per ton, and there are
others in the same district, whose names I
c-umot now recall, where iron is made
equally cheap. But those instances are ex
ceptionally rare. The usual cost is from
$10 to 11 tier ton, and there are some fur
naces lu Tennessee and Alabama which, I
ftiould think, could not make iron at a lower
figure than S12 per ton."
"What did you find is the cost of labor in
the South as compared with the North?"
Difference in Labor's Cobt.
"I should say that labor in the South
cost 25 or 30 per cent less than at the North.
In Tennessee and Alabama they use convict
labor ill their coal and their ore mines, and,
1 think, about 40 cents per man per day is
what they pay the State for it. I do not
know what proportion of their work is done
by convict labor, but, as the amount of
work done increases, the proportion of course
keeps growing less. Negro labor, of which
they use a great deal, is very cheap. They
do not pay more than about SI per day
for it. As about 90 per cent of a ton of pig
iron is labor, a difference to that
extent is of very great advantage to the
South. An additional advantage is that
negro labor is very docile and easily man
aged; the greatest difficulty with it is that
the blacks will not work steadily; they are
verv anxious for vacations and holidays, but
while thev do work their labor in the mines
and at the blast furnaces is just as good as
a white man's."
"Does there seem to be any immediate
prospect of an advance in the cost of labor?"
Race Issnes Retarding Development.
"It is bound to increase before very long.
One thing that is keeping it back now is the
refusal of the white men to take black men
into their unions. I understand that they rc
luse to allow their organizations to be used
for the benefit of the negroes. In time that
mar change. Then labor is becoming
scarcer, and it will be necessary before long
to import it. They cannot get men to go
there from other parts of the
country unless they pay the same
wages that are paid elsewhere. As soon as
they are compelled to import men the rate
of wages will go up to the level of the rest
it the country. And it is only a question of
le, I think, when convict labor will be
pped.
'Another thing that is greitly to the ad
, Mtagc of the Southcru blast furnace men
s the fact that the coking industry there is
tntirely free to competition. In the Poca
nntas district in the southwestern part of
'irginia a coke is made that is said to be
ally as good for most blast purposes :is
ouiiHllsville coke It is purer and has It-ss
ilphur, ash nnd phosphorus, but
not so hard and dense.
terc arc some people iu Chicago who buy
though it costs them more because of the
ight rates. It has to be shipped South to.
oxviue, xenn., ana reacnes in is city uy
way of Cincinnati. The Norfolk and "West
ern railroad is now building 'a branch from
the Pocahontas district to the Ohio river,
which will cross the Ohio ator near Catlet'.s
burg, near the mouth of the Big Sandy.
To Ho Shipped to Chicago.
"As soon as that is finished and it will
be finished this summer the Pocahontas
coke will be shipped direct to Chicago, in
competition with Connelltville coke. The
difference in the haul will be not more than
CO miles, and the Connellsville people will
have to work hard to hold their trade in
Chicago and the Northwest, If I am not
mistaken the Leisenrings, when they
sold out in the Connellsrille district, in
vested largely in Virginia coke lands, not
far from Pocahontas, and by tbe.building of
this road they once more become competitors
with him."
"Do you think the Northern blast fur
nacemen will be permanently injured by
cheap Southern iron?"
"No, I do not; because this country is so
great, and is growing so rapidly in, all
directions, that there is work enough for all.
The Southern pig iron is now going to
Pittsburg, where I am told a much larger
amount of it is sold than most people sus
pect; and Yonngstown and Sharon, New
Castle and Buffalo. Together with home
iron, it has completely displaced the Ma
honing valley furnaces in this market, bnt
when a furnace loses one market it hunts
for another and finds it. The consumption
is increasing enormously, and there is work
enough for all."
MINIATURE OIL FIELD.
UNIQUE PIECE OF AUTOMATIC WOES' OF
TWO OIL CITY MEH.
It "tVill Be an Oil Region Exhibit at the
"World's Fair Four Pomplnc tVella
Will Bo In Operation, TYitli All the Ap
pliances. SrECIAL TELIOEJ.M TO THE DISPATCH.1
Oil. Cut, April 13. Peter Gruber and
Dr. C. J. Reynolds, of this city, are now
completing a unique pieoe of work, on
which they have been engaged in their
spare hours during the past year, and
which will probably be one of the oil
region's exhibits at the World's Fair.
It is a miniature oil field about 6 by 12
feet iu dimensions, complete in de
tail nnd operation in all its
appliances, which include four pumping
wells with sucker rod and twin table at
tachments, by means of which they are all
pumped at once; a drilling well on the side
hill with the bluff so cut away as to show
the various formations and the operation oi
the tools; a pump station with pipe lines
and loading rack; a railroad encircling the
farm, halt of the way through a tunnel; an
oil train equipped with the tub cars of the
past, the tank cars of the present and cars
filled with oil barrels; a gas well and an
unfinished derrick, on and around which
rig-builders are at work automatically. The
oil aud motive power for operating these
equipments are supplied from beneath
them.
On the farm are shown the home of the,
owner of the land, who has evidently done
well on his bonuses and royalty; a railroad
station from whioh the agent promptly
emerges upon the arrival of the oil train; a
well-shooter halting with his torpedo rig on
avaj-on road; a gully down which flows a
little stream supplied by a spring near the
top of the hill, and beside it a counterpart
of the Colonel Drake well, which will be
readily recognized bv any one who has seen ,
the famous oil well or its photograph.
The reproduction in detail is accurate
and forms a uniquely clever exhibit.
AGAIN US THE EINO.
Dan Rice, of Fanny memory, Will Give an
Old-Time Show.
New Yobk, April 13. Some of the boys
who 20 years ago used to clap their hands
and shout with glee at the funny sayings
and doings of Dan Rice, the clown, will
have a chance to do it all over, for the old
showman has decided to go on the road again
with a big one-ring circus. The show is to
open in Jersey City on May 15 for one week,
then it will go to Brooklyn for three weeks,
and alter that to the principal towns on the
Sound and on Staten Island. Later it will
travel through the Eastern States by rail.
Mr. Rice was seen at the Everett House,
on Vesey street, last night. When asked if
the death of Mr. Barnum had had anything
to do with his determination to return to the
circus business, he said:
"No, I jnst felt that I wanted to try it
a gain, and as there is room for a first-class.one-ring
show, I'm going to give the public one
that I think will please them. When I quit
in 1871, 1 was running the Paris Pavilion
Circus on Fourteenth street, between Second
aud Third avenues. I gave the first benefit
there for the sufferers by the Chicago fire,
and sent $666, the receipts of a matinee per
formance, to Mayor Mason of that city. The
stockholders with me in that show are all
dead. They were G. R. Spalding, of Sau
gerties, David Bidwell, of New Orleans,
Jared Quick, of Brewsters, N. Y., and
Avery Smith. Spalding and I were the
promoters of that show. They took it to
Paris without my name and it failed, as I
said it would."
Mr. Rice says he will put on the clown's
costume and the Shakespearean jester's -rig
and make as much fun.for the little folks as
he used to do whenForepaugh aud olber cir
cus men paid him. $1,000 a week to appear.
"I shall give a circus under a large ob
long tent, with no center pole," he said,
"and a show that is adapted to the cities I
shall visit. I shall take in all my old towns
in the Eastern States, where Dan Rice lias
many, many friends. There will be a num
ber of performing horses aud a donkey, but
no menagerie. I don't want any animal
show. J. H. Allen, a man of great experi
ence in circus enterprises, will be my busi
ness manager."
Settlers Aro Alarmed.
Santa Fe., N. M., April 13. News re
ceived from Southeastern Arizona says that
the White Mountain Apaches are very rest
less and it is feared that they will go on the
warpath. They are having much trouble
among themselves, there being shooting or
cutting scrapes daily, and a general feeling
of uneasiness prevails, which bodes no good
to settlers in that part of the Southwest.
Protect Xoor Health.
Cold and moisture combined have a torporis
ing effect upon the bodily organs, and the di
gestive and secretive processes are apt to be
more tardily performed in winter than in the
fall. The same Is true, also, of the excretory
functions. The bowels are often slngguh, and
the pores of the skin throw off bnt little wasto
matter at this season. The system, therefore,
requires opening up a little, acd-also purifying
and regulating, and the safest, surest and most
tliurongh tonic and alterative that can be used
for these purposes Is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape tho
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies the

at this time ot the year, will do well to reinforce
their svstems with this renowned vegetable

WHITEHOUSECRANKS
People-Willi AH Sorts of Hallucina
tions Who Call There
TO IKTERVIEW THE PEESIDEHT.
Some of the Notable Deluded Ones of Three
Administrations,
HOW THE POLICE DEAL WITH THEM
Washington, April 13. The recent
forcible entry into the sacred portals of the
Executive Mansion by the inebriated step
son of a Southern statesman was the first
act of the kind committed within the mem
ory of the attaches of that institution. AH'
character and'iind of deranged personages
find their way into the President's "clomicile,
but these are seldom inclined to be belliger
ent. Through the efforts of the vigilant
officers on duty within the premises they
are always apprehended and properly dis
posed of either deprived of their liberty or
sent to their friends.
These frail and mentally depraved
creatures are generally the outgrowth of
political or other excitement- of a national
character. The agitation of quejtiSns
through the public print and the demonstra
tions attending a Presidental election and
inauguration develop the dormant weakness
or delusion of the average "crank," and the
head of the nation is at once made his ob
jective point. Often the public-spirited
citizens'of an enterprising 'country village
supply the town "crank" with means to
send him forth into the world in search of
the "missing link."
Handling the Cranks.
Eventually what the village congratu
lated itself over as a gain becomes a burden:
upon the capital authorities. To detect and
cull out from the busy throng which is
usually going in or coming out of the White
House and Government departments, the
unfortunate with a political or religious
grievance, or invention, requires skilled
subordinates, with superior judgment of
human nature, and the greatest prudence
and precaution must be exercised in treat
ing with the subject when located lest his
suspicions become aroused and he makes
trouble before being secured.
The official records indicate that the
national capital enjoys the largest number of
visitors of this class the year following
Presidental campaigns. For instance, the
number apprehended and transported to
other parts in 1886, the year Mr. Cleveland
went into the Executive Mansion, was 19, in
18S7 the number was 10, in 1888 it was 6, in
1889 it was 13 a gradual reduction.
In 1890, the first year succeeding Presi
dent Harrison's iuauguration, the number
increased to 18. Ascribing such causes as
one may for the delusions that enshroud the
minds of the "cranks" who seek the
acquaintance of the President of the United
States, you only add to the interest wh'ich
must be found in observing their actions and
hearing their reasons for seeking him out.
Your correspondent is enabled to present for
the first .time the names and pronounced
motives of the most interesting of these de
luded mortals who have called at the Execu
tive Mansion in the past few years.
Good Season for Them.
The first winter of President Arthur's
term was an' interesting crank season. It
was a cold January day when Jonah March.
a German barber, reached the capital, hav
ing traveled all the way from Mohawk Val
ley, N. Y. March made his appearance at
the White House with the astounding an
nouncement that he was the original Jonah
who had been swallowed by the whale. His
particular desire was to have an interview
with the President and General Logan. In
his pocket he had carefully stowed away a
clipping from some newspaper in which the
name ot Jonah was mentioned, besides $91
in money and a season ticket over the rail
road between Philadelphia and Jersey City.
March claimed that a bill drawn by Gen
eral Grant would be passed through Con
gress by Senator.Logan for his benefit, and
that it would make him a great man. Ser
geant Dinsmore persuaded Jonah to aban
don his visit to the President, and he, be
ing harmless, was placed on a train and
started for home.
Not long after the departure of Jonah,
John Rettig, a Taylor county, Texas, far
mer, in response to a call froin"TJnknown"
in Washington, introduced himself at the
Mansion as concerned in a small business
transaction which was to be consummated
there and whereby he was, to be made the
recipient of a two-story brown-stone front
house and lot valued at $30,000, a wardrobe
of fine clothing, diamonds and jewelry and
the sum of $250,000 in hard cash.
The""Unknown," upon whose invitation
he had come to the nation's capital, had
promised to make him a detective, and also
wanted him to make an independent race
for President. Instead, however, of carry
ing out the promise or inducing him to en
ter the Presidental race, the "Unknown"
had crowned him a "Cool-headed King,"
given him 25,000,000 in money and made
him equal to Jesse James in looks and sharp
ness without the capacity to do an act of
meanness. Rittig at hi3 own request was
furnished a guide and shown the sights of
the capita, a iter which he took his depar
ture for the West to visit relatives.
Sad Cases of Dementia.
A more to be feared specimen of the order
was Toby Allen, of Chicago, whose mission
to the East was with a view of getting
cleansed of spiritualists, who had witch
crafted and mesmerized him. President
Arthur, according to his statement, had
previously driven home persons who both
ered and' interfered with him, and be had
come again to find relief. If he could not
see the President about the matter he would
write him a letter and get Mr. Arthur to
put a stop to it. Toby, being of the more
determined style of visionaries, was finally
lodged in an institution where he would he
secure from worldly mesmerists and spirit
ualists. '
About six weeks prior to the death of
President Garfield, Henry Riller, a sad
case of dementia, turned up in Washington
from Missouri for the purpose of taking pos
session of the throne, he laboring under the
delusion that he had been elected Vice Presi
dent of the United States, but the people of
his State had 'neglected to apprise him of
the fact. According to his fancy, Mrs.
Garfield had been reserving his position for
him, and Mr. Arthur had been officiating
as his amanuensis. It was an idea of this
individual that Mr. Beeeher commanded a
body of soldiers and with them had gone to
Missouri, forcing him to leave home and
friends. Another of his hallucinations was
that there was $200 to his credit, in the
United States Treasury, which he had writ
ten for without receiving response. Riller
had over $100 in money with him when
taken up to be cared for. His money was
nsed to give him a trip back to his farm
under escort.
Gone on Great Inventions.
It was in December, dnring President
Cleveland's time, when a'German engraver
calling himself Casper Tubesing, hailing
from St, Louis, stopped off in Washington
and made a quiet effort to have a talk with
the Executive. Tnbesing was at least 75
years of age and carried with him two pieces
of old msty iron aud a large piece oi glass,
which, according to his story, constituted
an improved telegraph instrument, which
he operated in a lively manner with two
very dirty hands. Casper's ceremony was
to close his eyes and rub the iron and glass
together in order to produce electric cur
rents. The old gentleman desired to see "His
Excellency, the President of the United
States," to show him his secret' telegraph,
with which he bad communicated with Prince
Bismarck and obtained a loan of $1,000,
which had been placed to his account with
the President This poor old creature also
claimed to have invented a patent flying
machine, the first one having been produced
75 years before the time of Christ.
The most thoroughly deluded religious
personage who had a mission to perform at
the seat of tovernrnent was Miss Armmd.i
Greenwault, of Lancaster, Pa. She came to
Washington "especially to see-the Presi
dent" It was her desire to have him recom
mend and see to the'passagc of a law that
would prevent the ungodly and unrighteous
people of her community fromMorming.a
conspiracy to overthrow the Evangelical
Church. ,'In her humble "opinion the con
spiracy had been in operation for sejeral
vears, an'd, as the anthorities -in Lancaster
would not intercede, she intended to prevail
UDon the Chief Executive of the country to
have an end put to it. Miss Greenwault, '
after a brief stay, was induced to return to
ber home in Lancaster.
Controlled by the Spirits.
Another nelpless character who eventually
went to an insane asylum, Charles Cobourn,
found his way to, the White House from
Montgomery county, ,Md. Cobourn repre
sented that he was the sole owner of the
Chieftain Manual styled the t'Vain Gospel,"
which came to him .one morning in spring
over the meadows. The power of the spirit
of the ocean talked with him. It made him
strong, and he was commanded by the spirit
to go to the ocean tolget free" understanding
of it.
The sun spoke to him and said, "Be
good," all for the benefit of America. Co
bonrn called at the Executive Mansion, but
failed tt obtain an interview with the Presi
dent, from whom he expected to obtain a
money allowance.
The Lord was to sweep the world, and
Priscilla Johnson had been informed to that
effect by the spirits. Priscilla was deter
mined to have a chat with the President,
and no one could stop her. She stated that
permission had been granted her to inter
view the Executive, but that she had been
taken away in the spirit on the Lord's Day
and had been anointed. Her latest in
formation was that all preachers would be
wiped off the face of the, earth. The Lord
had sent her to tell the' President that all
the people looked to him as king of the
world.
Not long afterward a Kansas farmer,
named John Manion, whose years were
about three score, made a call at the
mansion, expecting to see the President and.
his wife. The applicant vouched that the
latter had sent for him to come to Washing
ton "to obtain a chair for being known."
Some months before he arrived a Kansas
magistrate told him he would get a valua
ble chair by calling at the White Honse,
Given a Trip Abroad,
"Contagion Billy" was among the uniden
tified cranks who called at the mansion1 to
see the President. He labored under the
not very strange impulse that any man who
had no home or employment belonged to the
Government, and he wanted assistance from
the head of it, "Billy" was given a trip
abroad upon the recommendation of the au
thorities. .
It was a strange dream that Lowell V.
McMinn, of Ulster county, N. Y., Baid he
experienced. It was some time prior to the
shooting of the lamented President Garfield.
In the dream he saw, the President, the rail
way station and the man who did the shoot
ing. It was not long after this dream that
he wrote the President and constrained him
to keep his guards out and told him about
the time the shooting would occur.
Rose Whipple, from the same county,
put in an appearance not long afterward to
obtain a valuable pin which the President
had granted her. Rose did not know who
had the pin, but was confident of its ex
istence in Washington. It was also her in
tention to make a detective of herself. Be
fore departing from borne she notified the
Governor of New York that she was going
to leave the State, but he did not reply to
her communication. Rose left the Capitol
of her own accord for New York on the day
of her arrival.
One of President Harrison's admirers -was
Patrick Ruhan,of Haverstraw, N. Y., whose
daily dream was that he had penetrated the
jungles of deepest Africa. Patrick had
among other possessions a cactus cane, which
was 700 years old and which he claimed to
have gotten during a trip over the Dark
Continent It was punctured with innumer
able holes, through which were run numer
ous strips of red, white and bin? ribbon. It
was his purpose to call at the Executive
Mansion and present the cane to the coun
try's chief executive as a mark of the high
appreciation he had for him aad his admin
istrative policy. Patrick was induced to
leave the Capitol, but in a few days he came
back and was apprehended while making a
second Attempt to see the President.
Banished From Washington. ,
Several visits were made to Washington
by John Theurer, of Hamilton, O., and, al
though he was pronounced sane by the
proper authorities, the restoration was but
temporary. When overtaken by the spell
which prompted his seeking oat the'Presi
dent and the Secretary of State it was his
desire to have the latter prosecute a claim
in his behalf for injnries received by him at
Lisbon, Portugal. At times Theurer be
came excited, and threatened the Seoretary,
when he was seized and banished from the
seat of government. He was smart enough
to find his way back again, when he was ar
rested a second time and placed in an
asylum.
Van Wert county. O., produced. James
Bell, who came to Washington to present
his credentials as President of the United
States, to which office he had been duly
elected by the people. It was his desire to
dislodge President Harrison, but, failing to
secure the expected recognition at the White
House and departments, he was induced to
tnrn his fa? e toward home.
Interference with the class of unfortunates
herein enumerated has a tendency to in
crease their unreasonable imaginings, and
in some instances their manifestations be
comealarming. Yet with the many oppor
tunities for freedom of approach offered by
the average official of state in this country,
no instance of personal assault or interfer
ence has attracted public attention sinoe the
dastardly and lamentable assassination of
President Garfield. If it were not for that
politeness and patriotism which controls the
average American on all occasions, the
President and each member of his Cabinet
would require a strong guard' about their
workshops and an escort in going to and
from their homes.
SMOKE IS DISAPPEAEING.
Progress Made by the Chicago Smoko In
spector's Department.
Chicago, April 13. Chief Smoke In
spector Andrew Young has prepared the
following report:
"Since January 1 there have been 686 re
ports turned in by the inspectors of this de
partment, the greater part of which came
from the business portion of the city. There
are some complaints against the railroads,
but it is a noticeable fact that they are be
coming fewer, as they havem'ade it a matter
of business, on account of patrons living
along their several lines suffering from soot
and smoke emitted'by their locomotives, to
abate the smoke nuisance. The Michigan
Central, Chicago and Erie, Grand Trunk,

A Great Mistake to Yait Until Sum
mer to Watch for MothB.
SOME VERY DANGEROUS REMEDIES.
Tbey Are Nearly Innocuous Except, Per
haps, to the Articles.
THE HAT0C OP THE CARPET BEETLE
The greatest mistake folks make is to
await the'heat of summer before watching
for moths, says a writerain The Upholsterer.
Artless young housewives look askance, at
the bare thought' of bugs in their newly
built home, but if they stop to squarely con
sider the subject, they mnst admit that vis
itors are at any time liable to bring in with
their clothing a guileless moth, which, with
good health and industry, can hatch hun
dreds of its kind in a week, and ruin every
thing ot an animal texture with which its
larvre or grubs come in contact; therefore,
the need for serious watchfulness aud a
knowledge of the subject becomes apparent.
jOne immediately protests, "But I have
never watched specially for moths, and
everything in the way of clothing and
fabrics in my home has not been ruined."
"True, but your immunity from depredation
has been good luck nothing more. The moth
lays its eggs in dark places, and the grub
which is hatched moves slowly and its feed
ing spots are usually within a foot or so of
its place of birth. If by good luck its place
of birth is away from a.textile fabric, the
texture will not be hurt; if near, it is sure
destruction-."
The quack and "preventive" manufact
urers have always reaped a rich harvest
through the ignorance of people regarding
the moth and its habits. Folks have bun
dled up their woollens and packed them
away in their chests full of tarboline or
carboline or cedarline or camphorline, and
actually believed that they would be safe
until fall. They have wrapped up hun
dreds of moth eggs which eventually hatch
the grubs. These odors will never kill a
moth or destroy its life germs. To be sure,
a moth will not voluntarily seek a nesting
place where the odor' exists, but if boxed up
with an odor it cannot escape from, it sim
ply proceeds to lay its eggs in the atmos
phere, which becomes a second nature to
the grub when hatched.
A Rather Dangerous Remedy.
Anything saturated with arsenic, or creo
sote, or even salt, or impregnated with
sulphur, the moth or worm will not touch,
bnt the use'of these articles is dangerons to
the colorings of fine textures. It is discour
aging, indeed, when a housewife shakes out
her clothes and puts them into a camphor
trunk and keeps them there all summer; to
find that iu the fall they are fairly riddled;
bnt the trouble has been, she watched only
for moths, when the moth is not at all
destructive. It is the worm thatshe should
have been on the lookout for, whioh hatches
out of the egg, and as the egg is hardly per
ceptible to the naked eye, a mere white speok
like the point of a pin, the danger is passed
over unseen. Until recently, the utmost con
fusion and ignorance has prevailed regard
ing the nomenclature of the moth species,
bnt it is now a clearly defined fact that there
are three distinct species of wool-destroying
moths common in this country, all of which
are of European origin. To be scientifically
correct We should term them the Tinea pel
lionella, Linn.; the Tinea tapetxella, Linn.,
and the Tineola biselliella, Hummel.
The commonest species are light brown
and distinguished by the spots shown in the
illustration. They begin to appear late in
April and may occasionally be seen flitting
about as late as August. They pair off and
the female then searches for suitable places
for the deposition of her eggs, working her
way into dark corners, crevices of the walls,
cracks in the floor or deep in the folds of
garments, apparently, 'choosing by in
stinct the least conspicnous places.
The moth lays from 18 to 140 eggs
at a time. From these eggs hatch, in a
period from three to seven days, the white
soft body larvie or worms, all of which be
gin immediately to make a case for them
selves from, the fragments of the cloth upon
which they feed. The case is in the shape
of a hollow roll, a thirty-second to an eighth
of an inch long. We have all noticed these
"rolls" on fabrics and frequently we have
crushed them, supposing that we have thus
prevented all damage, when the very exist
ence of the cylinder shows that the grub has
already fed. As the worms grow, they en
large this case by adding material which
they get by feeding.
Tho Transformation Comes In Spring.
The worm reaches its full growth in 36
days and then, crawling into some yet more
protected spot remains torpid during the
winter within its case, which by this time is
thickened and fastened at either end, and is the
full-sized cocoon. The transformation of
moth takes place within the case during the
following spring. Such is the life round of
the species. The worm feeds on woolen
fabrics, curled hair, hair-cloth, furs, feathers
or anything of that character which may
possess an animal deposit, for within the
celinla tissues of. hair, there is the same
nutriment which one finds on a smaller scale
within a bone. It is the 36 day period, from
the time that the eggs are laid to the time
that the worm or grub reaches the full size
that the damage is done, and it is fortunate
that all of the eggs that are laid do not hatch
in fact, but a small portion ever find life.
The second species constructs its cocoon
mainly from' fragments ot the material upon
which it has been feeding, spinning a cer
tain amount of 'silk, however, x wherever it
goes, leaving the trace which one sometimes
finds on woollen fabrics; this species is most
common from Washington southward. The
parent moth is of a dark straw color, and
has none of the spots on it that you see on
the tinea pellionella. .The moth of the tinea
tapetzella, the third species, is readily dis
tinguished from all other? by the front
wings, which are black from the base to the
body and white beyond, the white portion
being sometimes crowded with dark
gray. The habits of these species are
much the same, with the exception that
the larva or worm of the last-named
is most destructive, using for its cocoon cyl
inder pieces of cloth itself on which it is
feeding. It must be now apparent to the
careful reader that it is quite difficult to kill
the infinitesiinally small eggs by reason of
their almost inperceptible dimluutiveness
and difficult also to eradidate the moth by
reason of fts secretive habits. A 'benzine
spray is sure death, but there are many ob
jections to its use and danger from its in
flammable character; still, if the ordinary
throat spray, which can be bought for a tri
fle, is filled with benzine aud the vapor
thrown into crevices against moth or eggs,
it will destroy them, but no light should be
brought into a room thus treated, until after
it has been thoroughly aired and the odor
dissipated.
Least Objectionable Destroying Agent.
After a tborongh airing of a woolen fabric
for the purpose of driving out any con
cealed moth (for a moth abhors light) and
after time has been given to the develop
ment of any concealed egg, you may be
reasonably sure that there is nothing harm
ful on the fabric; then it is as safe done up
in a paper parcel as it would be if saturated
and'buried beneath all the anti-moth reme
dies in existence. Camphor, tobacco,
naphthaline and other strong odorants are
only partially repellent to the flying moth
and have nd effect at all upon the eggs or
the worm, whioh is the , destroying element.
The benzine spray is tbeJsast objectionable
destroying agent that w'e know of. It may
be used very safely upon.carpetlng, bnt the
utmost care should be exercised in using it
on fabrics of a delicate character.
One should not confuse the moth with the
carpet beetle, Frequently housekeepers
discover their carpets eaten and they at
tribute it to moths. Indeed, the carpet
beetle is frequently called the tjuffalo moth.
The perfect beetle is three-sixteenths of an
inch long, and when disturbed it .draws in
it legs and feigns death. It is white, black
and scarlet, the scarlet being confined to a
strip down the middle of the back. It begins
to-appear in the fall and soon the specif s
pairoffand the female deposits her eggs upon
the carpet itself, and not in the cracks or
crevices as generally supposed. During the
day time these beetles frequently fly to the
windows and may be caught there, but
they seldom leave the house until their
eggs have been deposited.
The treatment is similar to that with
moths. A hand atomizer, charged with
benzine, should inject the liquid into all
the floor cracks and under the baseboards,
until every crevice has been reached. The
carpets themselves, after thorongh beating,
should be lightly sprayed with the same
substance. The inflammability of benzine,
however, should be remembered, and no
light brought near it until evaporated.
WILL RECALL DOUGLASS.
Be rails In Negotiating With Haiti for the
St Nicolas Mole.
Washington, April 13. The represen
tations made, to the State Department by
Admiral Gheradi, who has spent mnch time
during the past three years on the West
Indian station as to the conduct of Ameri
can interests by Minister Frederick Doug
lass at Port-au-Prince, are such that a
change in the management of the Haitian
Legation is considered not only as necessary
but as inevitable. There, is no doubt what
ever that in department circles Mr.
Douglass is considered a failure. The. ex
pectation that his conspicuous position
in this country and his acknowledged abili
ties as an orator would operate to the advan
tage of the country as Minister to Haiti has
been unfulfilled at every point The special
cause of dissatisfaction at this time with Mr.
TJougla-.s is the bungle he has made of the
negotiations to secure the cession of .the St
Nicola Mole, which this Government de
sires as a coaling station. The opinion pre
vails that Mr. Douglass has failed in these
important negotiations because of his par
tiality for the black republic, or from in
capacity to grasp the magnitude of the
matter, and to handle it in such a manner as
to command the respect of the Haitian au
thorities. In either case, if Mr. Douglass
does not see his way clear to resign at an
early day the Administration will feel itself
under the necessity of asking him to do so.
There is not much doubt here that Mr.
Douglass would have been superseded as
Mininister to Haiti months ago if Secretary
Blaine.conld have had his way about the
matter. But President Harrison has stood
between him and Minister Douglass for two
reasons. The President does not wish to be
saddled with the responsibility of recalling
Mr. Douglass, and be does not care to face
the army of applicants who would besiege
the Executive Mansion the moment that it
is intimated that there is an intention to re
call 'Mr. Douglass. The Afro-American
citizen has come to regard the Haitian mis
sion as one of the few foreign sinecures to
which he has a sort of divine right, and the
appointment of a white man to succeed Mr.
Douglass would raise- a Btorm from the At
lantic to the Pacific Ocean.
President Harrison, from the nature of
the situation, is compelled to consider the
political aspect ot the case, while Secretary
Blaine is considering the commercial aspect
of it And, as in the appointment of Mr.
Douglass, politics triumphed, so it likely
to do in the appointment of bis successor,
whether he be Mr,- Langston or some one
else. The St Nicolas Mole problem and its
relations to the Nicaragua Canal enterprise
is liable to be sacrificed again in the interest
of politics, as it was when Mr, Douglass was
appointed two years ago to be Minister Resi
dent and Consul Seneral.

Do'we cure every case of catarrh?
Unquestionably, no.
When' catarrh has been allowed to proceed
nncbecked until the various organs have be
come fatally impaired and the system under
mined so that no remedial agent or medical
skill can avail, or when the patients become
careless,. negligent and infrequent in their
visits, the sufferer will undoubtedly fail to ob
tain a en re.
Onr treatment is not ona of miraculous
power nor mysterious sorcery. Our cores are
effected by patient, regular, systematic and
methodical, as well as skillful, treatment. We
core only when the pitlent, l.y hearty co-operation,
aids us in our work. No one can do
more.

appeared. My throat was harsh and dry. Bad
pains in my chest. Felt tired In the morning
upon rising, after stooping was dizzy. I was
almost a physical wreck."
"To-day I feel better every way. Mytroobles
have disappeared and JDrs. Cnpeland and

from catarrh and its immediate troubles, I feel
no hesitancy in recommending them."
