BOYD AND HARBISON.
A Test of the Pennsylvania Rail
road's Management.
An inleresilng anecdote 's told of George
W. Biyd, the Assistant General Passenger
Agent of tho Pennsylvania Itailroad, in
connection with Prosident Harrison. Mr.
Boyd bad personal chargo of tho recently
highly successful transcontinental tour.
Many years ago ho know tho Prosidont as
General Harrison, Senator Harri-on,
United States Senator Harrison and "Ben"
Harrison, ono of tho brilliant mombors of
tho Indianapolis bar. When contemplat
ing his recent tour tho President's first
thought was of tho Pennsylvania's bril
liant ropresentativo and his old thin ac
quaintance, Georgo W. Boyd, and sum
moned him to Washington to talto his ad
vico on tho proposed journoy. Tho sum
mons was ro'pondod with Mr. Boyd's cus
tomary promntnosi. Tho schedule was
soon mapped out and tbon tho Prosident
urged that Mr. Boyd preparo himself to
soo it, personally, carried out. Mr. Boyd
consented, tho trip was undertaken and It
resulted In ono of tho most phonomonally
succossful tours over projocted and c irried
out in this or any other country. Tho
President's conlldenco was not misplaced,
from start to finish thero was not tho
slightest aocident or the least displeasing
featuro. All that the brain of man could
concoivo for safety, speedy and comfort
was accomplished and anothor brilliant
triumph wts added to tho credit of the
great Pennsylvania Itailroad Company.

GRASSHOPPER INVASION
TIIKY NOW COVUK AN ARKA OF 40)
SilUAHE MILES IN KANSAS,
Toi'EKA, July 14. Startling reports
from Eastern Colorado and Western
Kansas about the reported grasshopper
Invasion were received here yesterday.
The grasshoppers cover an area of 4ii0
square mlloa where the Santa Fe Road
ciosses the Colorado line. They aro
young and not able tolly, but nre
hopping eABtward at the rate of two
miles per day. They will hnve ma
tured hulllcleutly within two weeks to
enable them to lly, and as it Is certuiu
they will move in uu easterly direc
tion, much damage is anticipated.
Tho hoppers aro of a brownish yel
low color und are n t readily seen from
p.thslng trains because of their resem
blance In' color to the soil and grass.
Little damage has been done in thu
region Infested by the hoppers,becauso
few crops are grown thero, but pastur
age Iihb been destroyed. The few
ileitis ot corn, wheat and sorghum
huve hem swept clean. Every west
bound train that puses through tho
swarm during the night is stopped.
iur in the nietit, wtien it is com, tho
rails are warm, and they cluster about
the track, almost hiding the rails from
view, and when a train attemnts to
climb the up grade near Arlbba, Col.,
It Is like climbing a greased pole. Tlio
driving wheels revolve but slide help
lessly upon the rails.
The vast area ol grasshoppers is
made of the young of those that were
in the region last year, una more
anxiety Is felt because of the large in
urease which Is certain to be hatched
there next year than from any damage
winch may no none this year.
