LADIES NAMED St. Petersburg, May 1.—The Novo Vremya prints a circumstantial story which tends to confirm the reports that Father Gapon has been assassin ated by a revolutionist. Father Gapon is represented as having entered into relations with a group of the "Fight ing Organization" of the terrorists, and in order to test his loyalty oue of the leaders, an engineer named Ruten- berg, under the alias of Mnvtiui, offer ed to betray secrets of the organiza tion *o the government. Gapon, ac cording to the story,, took the bait He offered to conduct the negotiations. Some haggling about the price to be paid followed, Rutenberg demanding $50,000. Finally, however, on his agreeing to accept $12,500, Gapon went to Odarki, a small place beyond thfe frontier, to meet Rutenberg for a con summation of the agreement. He has not been seen since. A Jewess named Holstein, a member of a grpup of rev olutionaries who were Gapon’s friends, knew he was In close consultation at the time and that he mysteriously dis appeared the day afterward. The plain inference is, the paper says, that the revolutionaries, finding Gapon to be a traitor, executed him, and that Gapon*s papers, which reached his lawyer, Margolin, from To Entertain Ladies Who Will Attend T.

OVER EVIL POTATO BUG. Remedy Suggested by Ma con Lady, Which Is Said to be an Infallible Means of Putting the Multi-Col ored Garden Pest Entirely Hors du Combat. The Macon Telegraph this morning publishes the following, and we feel like It deserves'the prominence which Is here given to It In The Herald: Are there bugs on your potato vines? An infallible remedy, which Is both simple and inexpensive, has been sent the Telegraph by Mrs. Juhan, and all readers of the paper, whose potato vines have been devastated by the fes tive multi-colored, evil little bug, whose vitality Is equalled only by his appetite, who will follow the recipe, will soon be rid of the pests. The remedy is as follows: "Boll the foliage of a cedar tree, making a strong tea. Sprinkle the vines with the tea—an ordinary sprinkling or wa tering pot is excellent for thiq use. The bugs will disappear,, and until the odor and all other traces of the tea have been washed away by the rains and absorbed by the sun, no more trouble with the hugs will be experi enced.” Officer Walden is kept pretty bill making out cases against the violator of the city ordinance against usin water for sprinkling purposes out c the regular hours. The people ougl to know by now that the authoritle are determined to enforce this. I fit the masses with scientiflcall fitted glasses. Dr. C. I, Hutchason.
