inscribed in the diploma and forwar-

the award, raised by an envious New
York rival, is settled beyond cavil.
This same rival by the way is widely
advertising an award for itself. The
official records prove this claim
wholly false as they show the New
York pretender was not SO much as
an exhibitor at the worlds Fair.

SAM JONES
At the Opera House January LIST.

At the Opera House January LIST.
Sam Jones will discourse most enter
tainingly on "Sawciety,n or in plain
speech, society.
1t is needless for the Banner to say
the lecture will be rich, rare and racy,
and afford such social and literary
treat as only Sam Jones, the lnimita-
BILE and incompatible, can metanlly
brew for thirsty and eager public 20
hear.
In this connection it is also pleasant
to note that the proceeds of the Sam
Jones entertainment are to go to the
Ocala Literary and Ocala Hospital
funds. Two objects worthy of the pat
ronage and support of the people of
Ocala.
Remember, you will not only get
the worth of your money, but aid de-
serving public institutions.
Mrs. Douglass Eichelberger, Miss
Wells, Miss Piatt and Mrs. Judge
Hooker are giving their time and at
tention to making Sam jones' lecture
a pronounced success, and we trust
eVs-y citizen approached by these la
dies will buy ticket.
Reserved seats from the stage to the
head Of the stairs, 81, from there back

The interest to see and hear the only
Sam Jones Of this country should put
standing room at premium in the

1895.
Remember the date, and prepare for
the occasion.

LEOPARD MOTHS.
European Pests Unfamiliar to Fntomolo
gists Which Destroy Native Trees.

NEWARK, y. j., Oct. 29.-It is a strange
provision of nature that provides destroy
er for about every one of her products,
good, bad and Indifferent. There is not a
plant, shrub or tree, for instance, for the
destruction of which there is not some sort
of insect or worm whose ravageS would
utterly wipe out vegetation in time were
it not for the fact that the rule extends to
the bad as well as the good.
In other words, for every destroying in
sect there is another, generally smaller,
creature whose sole purpose in the scale of
existence seems to be TO destroy the de
stroyer. Just at this time all who take
delight in shade trees and have at great
pains ornamented their lawns and grounds
with them in this city and its neighbor-
hood are aghast over the ravages of a
strange new enemy of arboreal beauty.
Shortly after the trees began to show signs
of its york the entomologiSts began to
hunt for the cause. and, once ii was found
in the shape of = grub of the borer type,
to study its habits and find its place in the
chronological world In short time it
was discovered to be identical with the
leopard moth of Europe, which is known
to be exceedingly destructive to many sorts
of trees. In Newark and vicinity it has
already attacked eight varieties of naples,
three sorts of elms, the oak, the mulberry,
the blackberry, the hawthorn, the sweet
gum, the tulip tree the linden, the noun
tain ash, the apple and the pear, besides
Currant bushes So far no remedy what
ever for the moths destruction has been
discovered but 10 cut off the affected parts
Of the trees and burn them. This has been
done in many cases. Some tree owners
have gone 80 far as to uproot ana destroy
their trees entirely. but this is generally
deplorod As too radical Il remedy.
The presence in Europe of a kind OF
scale insect that * especially inimical to
the grape was discovered 10 the growers
by the sudden dropping OF their vines
some years ago. Vigorous investigation
rs to its origin was at once instituted. and
ii was found that il had been imported
from Australia. To Australia. then, en-
expert was sent in search Of the natural
enemy Of the scale. After months. perhaps
years. Of work the longed for parasite was
found. Its transportation To California
followed. ana now the scale insect is under
control on the coast
