EntertssHs and fnstracfs the National
Poplar Contention.

The following reference to we'll
known gentlemen Of the Experiment
Station is taken from the New York
Lumber Trade Journals account of
the proceedings at the semi-annual
meeting of the Poplar Manufacturers
Association held at Oakland, Nd,
July 10. The meeting was attended
by leading lumber dealers from all
parts of the country, and the com
pliment paid Prof Hopkins is one
the gentleman can well be proud Of
The journal says:
Col. Jed Hotchkiss, the famous
student of and worker in coal and
timber lands; DIR. John A. Myers,
director Of the experiment station
of the United states government at
Morgantown, w. Va, and DIR. A. d.
Hopkins, of the same station, whose
discoveries in regard to saving trees
from insect pests by introducing
other and harmless insects to prey
upon the harmful ones, were all
presented to the Association and
made interesting talks, both during
the afternoon and evening. DIR.
Hopkins, by invitation, read a most
interesting paper on his somewhat
novel theories and HE certainly nov
Ell discoveries, recently made, which
was entitled: Insect Enemies of
Poplar"
The lecture, as it may be called,
was amply illustrated by specimens
of beetles in all their various stages
and specimens of wood ON which
they had worked. 1t is impossible
to go into detail, but certain it is
that DR.. Hopkins is a most indus
trious and painstaking entomologist
allowing not the merest detail to es
cape him. His lecture was euriously
illustrated, where it would have been
least expected, the close relation of
the science of the entomologist and
student of forestry with the practic-
al everyday work Of the lumber
manufacturers, as was evinced by
the Poplar mems evident deep inter
est and close attention and their
cordial invitation to DR.. Hopkins to
be present at future conventions and
give them the result of his investi-
cations.

The Palatine correspondent of the
Fairmont Free Press says; A very
sad death befell Lawrence, aged 20
months, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Miller, residing on Merchant street,
in the basement portion of c. L.
Borgess. residence. Wednesday
evening about 5 o'clock the mother
had been nursing the child, and sat
it down near chair on which was
box of snuff. By some manner the
child got hold of the snuff while the
mother was attending to house du-
ties, and when discovered the child S
face, eyes and mouth we're filled with
snuff. The mother gave the alarm,
but before anything could be done
life became extinct.

Train Robbery.

A special from Phoenix Oct. 1, says that at l2:15 last night the east bound Southern Pacific train was held up by three men a half mile east of Maricopa. One robber climbed upon the engine and compelled Engineer Holiday and Fireman Martin to uncuuple the engine and pull out three-quarters of mile. The other robbers entered the express car, from which they took $1, ,500. All the robbers then mounted horses and rode off. Sheriffs Drais of Pinal and Murphy of Maricopa went in pursuit. They came upon the trail of the rob bcrs at the Gila river, seven miles southeast of Phoenix and ran upon their camp, where they found three Winchester rifles. Following the trail, they came upon Frank Armour, whom they ordered to throw up his hands. He began shooting at the officers, but a load of buckshot brought him down. He is in jail. Officers are still in pur- suit of the other robbers. It is thought that this is the same gang which held up the stage recently near Con 2 rs'. and is composed of men from Tonto Basin, whose identity is now known.
