CHICAGO SOCIAL TOPICS.
floMlp Concerning the Windy Clty'a 40)
ftotea of Chicago.
Tho engagomont of Miss Eva Ondcr
donk to Mr. Porcy Foarn was announced
in Chicago last' week. Miss Ondordonk
is one of tho most strikingly beautiful
girls on tho NorthlSido, and before and
elnco her recent European trip rumor
has accused her several timos of pledg
ing her hand to this or that admirer.
Sinco tho announcement of tho engage
mont Mr. Fearn has been a target for
the envy and congratulations of his un
successful rivals.
Fashionable Chicago people are be
ginning to journey back to town in an
ticipation of the gaiety attendant upon
tho last six weeks of the fair. Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Irvine returned last week
from Lake Goneva. Mr. and Mrs. R. D.
Klrby, of tho Virginia, aro back from
Europe. Mrs. Aloxander B. Adam and
Miss Adam, of Calumet avenue, havo
returned from tho seashore. Mr. and
Mrs. S. F. Waters returned to town last
weok from a two months' sojourn among
tho lakes of Wisconsin.
I do not quito know whothor to credit
a report that I havo rocoivod to the
effect that a procession and a brass band
ordered from Now York by tolegraph,
awaited Mr. Reginald Do Kovon on that
distinguished young gentleman's arrival

0. B. Farwell, at Lako Forest, this weok.
so that worthy gentleman has, in conse
quence, the pleasure of entertaining
both his distinguished sons-in-law at
tho sarao timo.
I beg loavo to repeat my declaration
of last week to tho effect that Judge
Goggln. of Chicago, ought to bo con
sidered a benefactor to his raco; inaa
muchTas that nervy jurist, in addition
to keoplng the world's fair open Sundays
has enjoined tho exposition authorities
from interfering any further with the
quaint Midway institution known as the
Persian theatre. Judge Goggln re
marked rather bluntly that he had seen
nothing worse In the Persian theatre
than he had seen in plenty of other
places in the airy and effervescent Plals
ance, and, as a consequence, the sloe
eyed Leila and the statuesque Ahminah
can again be seen leaning from the win
dows in the twilight twiddling their
tambourines and luring eager visitors
with songs and love-calls uttered in the
spiciest of Parisian accents. This will
probably end all interference with the
place, and my friend, the tearful Persian
fakir, I rejoice to say, has so far recov
ered his spirits as to take his stand
nightly in front of his place, and with
ronowed vigor in his voice bellow out his
familiar offer of 91,000 reward to anyone
who can find anything in tho least im
moral in his show. No ono as yet, I
beliovo, has laid claim to tho reward.
Thoro is, I understand, boiiiu little
doubt up at tho world's fair grounds us
to whothor Mr. D. H. Burnham, whoso
official titlo, I beliovo, is director of
works, considers himself Emperor Will
iam, tho ghost of Napoleon or u com
ponent part of tho Holy Trinity. It hus
beon remarked moro than once by this
rather extraordinary gentleman's asso
ciates that unless leeches should Imj
applied to his head at onco, that inter
esting feature of his anatomical con
struction would run serious dunger of
bursting by reason of the phenomonal
pressure superinduced by the egotism
of its owner. There appears to bo con
siderable question at tho present day
whence Director Burnham derived tho
authority to go careering around tho
fair grounds in a chaise, ordering em
ployes here and there, tearing down
signs and in other ways comporting
himself as a being upon whom tho wholo
fair, part and parcel, body, soul and'
breeches, depended for its further con
tinuance. Mr. Burnham, however, is
satisfied with himself and his doing,
which, after all, is the main point to be
considered; though I do not exactly seo
how either President Higinbotham or
Director-Gonoral Davis can tolerate
with any degree of enjoyment tho sight
of "Bighead Dan," as hois affectionately
formed by tho guards, scrubwomen and
other employee ho is in tho habit of
bullying, rushing about the grounds,
und, as ono person expressed it in my
hearing, "usurping tho functions of tho
Almighty." I havo hoard it observed
that it was a groat thing for Mr. Burn
ham when John Root died Mr. Root
was tho architect who designed tho
building of which Mr. Burnham now
poses as tho creator and I am rather
Inclined to agreo with tho author of tho

A SOON FOft FARMERS.
War of Kiteranlnatlos Watts' an a Danger
Crop Destroying I meat.
(Hprclnl CorreiondnM.l
Abilene, Kan., Sept. 21, The labora
tory of the Kansas state university has
during the past summer presented a
curious picture for a state Institution of
learning. Instead of being littered with
manuscripts of forgotten examinations,
there have been hundreds on hundreds of
small pasteboard boxes scattered over
desk and floor. Every mall brought
hundreds more, and each departing train
took great cargoes out. , During the
busiest time, through July and August,
as many as 5,000 were handled each
week. Ia every incoming and, outgoing
box ware dosens of tiny black insects
ehlnchbugs. The laboratory was the
headquarters of a regularly organised
war on the little pests, and Chanoellor
Snow had tha state treasury to draw
upon for needful expenses, a liberal ap
propriation being at his disposal.
From every neighborhood throughout
the state came voluntary offers of assist
ance in carrying on the battle. The
chtnehbug ranks second among the men
aces to successful agriculture in Kan
sas, the first being drought. But the
bug thrives on drought and always ac
companies it. When the heat of June
and July arrives, the bugs hatch out and
scatter through the wheat, eating the
straw and causing the heads to fall.
Whea wheat harvest is ended, unless
heavy rains coma most opportunely, the
corn is attacked. Almost as regularly as
an army thoy march upon the lusty
green stalks that tower above them,
rustling in the prairie breexes. Thoy
clamber up the tender bales, and soon
tho leaves droop and become yellow,
then dead. It is as if a blight had moved
majestically across tho field, laying down
row after row, determined to exert its
might upon every green thing.
8o rapidly did the damage increase
year by year that the farmers grew posi
tively frightened. It seemed as though
the corn raising industry of the state
must be abandoned, and even wheat
was badly injured in some parts of the
commonwealth. All the time that the
farmers were complaining Professor'.
H. Snow of tha state university faculty
was working on the problem of ridding
the state of the insects. He is an expert
student of natural history, and he stud
ied the injurious creatures with a
unique purpose in view. In 1801 he ao

com plished it and developed by means
of bacilli a disease which not only
proved easily fatal among the chinch
bugs, but spread with amaxingrapidlty.
this own expense ha inoculated num
bers of bugs with the disease and sent
them forth to scatter it among their fel
lows. Few farmers, however, were suf
ficiently confident of the new process
and its workings to experiment with it
The following year many hundreds did
do so, being induced by the local news
papers and glowing circulars sent out.
A few score bugs would be gathered and
sent in a box to Professor (now Chan
cellor) Snow. These would be inoculated
and returned, to be immediately scat
tered in the fields, where the ground
waa often found fairly black with the
destructive army. The result was a suc
cess in 80 per cent of the trials. , At the
end of two days hundreds and thou
sands of dead insects would cover the
ground where before was a crawling
mass. Perhaps the range of the strange
but fearfully fatal malady would ex
tend but a few rods around the spot
where diseased bugs were loosed, thongh
often it spread rapidly over the entire
field. Hundreds of farmers testified
their belief that the infection saved them
half and even the whole of their crop,
and the state waa unquestionably thou
sands of dollars better off for the re
markable discovery, while other west
ern states are also gaining benefit there
from. This year, although the eastern half of
the state has had so much rain as to ma
terially lessen danger from the bugs, the
demand for infocted insects has been
enormous. The chancellor's office has
had a large force of clerks at work con
stantly, and not until the very last days
of August did the requests cease. Each
recipient of 'the laboratory's favor was
requested to report his success, and the
vast majority of the reports told of acres
of dead ehlnchbugs by reason of the
spreading of the disease from infocted
insects. In addition, members of the
chancellor's office force took trips through
various parts of tho state to investigate
tho results for themselves and found
most beneficial effects, warranting still
larger plans for next year.
Whether the war can be carried to
complete extermination of the pests is
uncertain. If evory farmer would assist,
it might be. At any rate tho damage
can be reduced to a minimum and a
saving of from one-third to a half of the
state's corn crop effected, which is a tre
mendous lKon to every farmer. The
work next year will reach throughout
the west C. M. Harokr.
