At the meeting of the Fruit-growers' Con-
vention yesterday the president. Mr. Eli
wood Cooper, gave just praise to some of
the successes in suppressing parasites by
other creatures whose design in creation
seems to be TO exterminate them. With a
due sense OF the injury this country suffers
from the iackass-rabbit and the English
sparrow, he recOmme nded the introduction
Of the wildcat for the one, and in a vague
way recommended the favorable treatment
Of any enemies the sparrow and grasshopper
have. As the sparrow abounds in England
and rears five or six broods year il is not
here. Hawks and owls are good extermina-
tors, but they cannot get at the nests. The
native wildcat is quite abundant. and is not
exclusive in attentions TO rabbits. 1t might
be dangerous TO increase the supply As TO
raid upon grasshoppers that is much
more difficult puzzle than a raid upon f1eas

Neill was not a victim to mania. Perhaps
Jack the Ripper il, but Neil was not. He
was so successful as a murderer that he be-

was trapped. His methods were such that
he might have continued in crime n long
while. but when he resorted to Matchmaking
his deeds were traced home to him cOnclu-

long been friend of ladies in this respect.
He provides eligible gentlemen of agreeable
