THE CLONER-LEAF WEEVIL

The clover leaf weevil, an insect which
has ruined many hundred acres of clover
in Maryland annually for the past four
or five years has appeared again in des-
tructive numbers this spring. and many
| inquiries have already been made to State
Entomologists W. G. Johnson regarding
it. Mr.. H. o. Devries, grandmother of the
State Grange, writes from Howard county
that the pest is ravenously devouring the
clover fields in this vicinity. He writes to
! Prof johnson: THE insect is death to
our clover; | think your presence desir-
able" Mr.. Devries, on request, forwarded
| specimens of the worms to the State en-
tomologists.
Professor Johnson in reply says: AS
anticipated l found many of them dead.
After careful examination l found that
death was due to Il contagious disease, a
minute fungus, common among insects,
known to science as Empusa (Entomoph-
thoraD sphaerasperma. Mr.. DERIVES was
| informed that he need not have any furth-
err apprehension about the safety of his
crop, as this epidemic would soon destroy
the pestiferous creatures.
| at is a well-known fact that insects,
| in both the young and adult stages, are
often attacked by minute fungi and de-
stroycd by the myriads. Foul brood is a
familiar example to beekeepers in this
country, and the slkworm disease which
threatened the speedy destruction of the
silk industry in France IA few years ago,
| is still fresh in the II ids of the general
public.
The disease which destroys the larvae.
or worms of the clover leaf weevil acts in
| peculiar way Worms that are sick or
affected with this contagion crawl up and
attach themselves to, or curl around the
| tips of the clover leaves, grass blades,
weeds, stubble and various kinds of plants
| They are fastened to the plants on which
they are found by very small, snowy
white rootlets which are sent out through
the lower surface of the body. This gen
orally takes place in the forenoon and the
spores VERY much like seeds are formed
the night or the same day in the body of
the worm. These germs are rapidly
thrown off in great abundance, falling
upon healthy worms; thus rapidly spread
ing this fatal contagion. 1t would take
thousand of these spores placed end to
end to make line an inch long. The
disease is carried over winter in the bodies
of other insects
THE same disease has appeared in the
clover fields here at the Agricultural Col
lege and Experiment Station, and is rap
idly destroying the pests. 1t has also
begun its deadly work on larvae in the
clover fields of Montgomery county. By
the timely appearance of this natural re-
ducing agent it is quite probable that the
clover crop of Maryland will be saved; at
least it will be best to let nature take her
course in this matter, and await the out
come

FOR \ MARILANDER

A notable tribute is paid to former
Marylander in the yellow Book" of
Venezula Congress during its present
session of 1897 bv the minister of foreign
affairs. 1t says:
His excellency Gen. Thomas Allen re-
mains as envoy extraordinary and minis
ter plenipotentiary of the great North
American nation, to our entire satisfac
ton, adding, day by day, to his official re-
lations with the Venezuelan government
a spirit of cordality singularly useful
Apart from the demonstrations shown
him little more than year ago on ac-
count of the friendly action of the Con-
gress and Executive of said republic in
the boundry question of English Guiana
he must always remember the appreciation
here shown to his high personal merits
and to his discretion and intelligence as a
diplomatic representative of the great gov
eminent of the United States.
THE conduct of this distinguished
functionary contributes largely to streng h
en- the bonds that unite the two repub
lies; and he is heartily: in accord with the
purpose of the Venezuelan government to
sustain permanently in Washington le
cation of the first class, at present in
charge of Mr.. Jose Andrade, as envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotcntiary."
General Thomas resided at one time in
Howard county. He was formerly a
planter in Louisiana, and was :. =
pointed superintendent of the New Or
leans mint during President Cleveland's
first term He was made minister to Ven
ezuela during President Cleveland's Sec
ond term.
Mr.. Holmes Thomas, bookkeepcr at
the Merchants National Bank, is one of
number of nephews living in Baltimore
A brother of General Thomas lives near
Ellicott City, in Howard county. Gen
eral Thomas wife is with him in Vene-
zuela. They have four sons, all of whom
are grown. One lives at Palm Beach, Fla.
two live in Brooklyn, N. V, and the other
lives in New Orleans

THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

Ii the Democratic party in this coun-
ty can concentrate upon really strong
ticket, and make a vigorous campaign
there will be some chance Of success.
In the first place there should be no
contests for the positions on the tick
ct. a convention of practical, repre-
sentative and conservative men should
convene, and, after 4 most careful sur
vey of the situation, should Deliberate
" and for the best interests of the
party nominate ticket. Candidates
might thus probably be chosen who
would be neither seeking nor desiring
political preferment, but who might be
persuaded, for the public good, to
make a campaign. OF course, this
means the exc II sion of boss rule; it
means recognition of the voice of the
people; it means an ignoring of person
al ambitions and postponement of in
(ivi 'ull aspirations. 1t VIII call for
an exhibition of public spirit on tt e
part of those who may be chosen as
candidates, but we believe men can be
found, who, if occasion required it,
would lay aside their personal prefer
ences to serve the party.
There is no use in Disgusting the fact
that tie Democracy will have hard
fight to win in this county, and it can
not afford to make any mistakes.

tino is still under dispute. The Turks re-
assert their success, but they have not yet
occupied Nolo. The citize.s of Nolo have
mostly crossed over to Eubola. Cncon-
tirmed dispatches via. Paris affirm that
the Greek army of 10000 men is retiring
from Pharsalia to DomokoS, ten miles
nearer Athens There have been confer
enccs at the former place between the
Greek minister of war and Prince Con-
stantine Another Greek officer will re-
place Colonel Nassos in command of the
Greek force in Crete. Preparations for
the continuance of the war are being en-
ergetically pushed by both nations.
Correspondents enlarge upon the want
of preparation for war on the part of the
Greeks, but this has unfortunately been
made evident by the course of events.

THE POWERS WAITING.

The reports of Intervention by the pow
ers in the interest of peace between
Greece and Turkey continue, but they
issue, it seems, from no official source
Greece does not yet confess failure, moi
ask for peace. To compel Turkey to retire
to submit to conditions would be only to
restore the painful situation that exist
ell Just before war began, when Greece
was dcfying all the powers and keeping
the East i'll anxiety. Till Greece confess
es herself beaten and agrees to dsarm, it
is unlikely, say experts, that Germany or
Russia will consent to ask the Sultan to
recall his army.
Yet there are signs that the Greeks
would like some one to bring peace I'M
asked. Dispatches coming by way of
Paris and Rome affirm that this is the
case. Athens in the source of a report
that Edham has proposed an armistice of
five DAYS and of other reports suggesting
that the powers are engaged on plans of
intervention, but it is denied that offers of
meditation have been received. Accord
ing to one story King George is very sick;
according to another he is so sick that he
will have to take a trip to some island
to recuperate. These stories are inter
pretcd in some quarters to mean that the
King is preparing to abdicate.
From various sources it is learned that
the Greeks are retiring from their posi-
tons in Epirus under pressure from the
Turks and in consequence Of bad man
agement. At Aria the Turks are prepar-
ing. it appears, to cross the Greek from
tier. The Turks have occupied Louros.
The Greek campaign has failed in Epirus,
as in Thessaly.
Which power was the victor at Yeles

THE PARIS HORROR.

With regard to all municipal regu-
lations for the safety of person and
property, we are accustomed to hear
it said that ''thcy order these things
better in France" Yet it certainly
looks, says the Philadelphia Times
at this distance, as though nothing
could have been worse ordered than
the fair in the rue Jean Goujon. The
horror Of Tuesdays catastrophe is so
great rs to be almost incredible. A
fiimsy wooden structure encountered
with booths and hung with infamma-
ble draperies and decorations and
crowed full with gentle women; there
is fash Ct fire, 4 wild panic, and the
flames sweep over everything; in few
minutes there remains but a mass OF
ruins and an indistinguishabIe heap of
dead and dying.
Horrible as such things always are,
the present tragedy is deepened by the
sentiment surrounding it. The Mater
nal Charity Society was founded more
than century ago by Marie Antoin-
cite, for the relief of poor mothers and
the protection of their newborn chill
dren. The charity is administered by
devoted Sisters and its patronesses are
among the high-born women of France,
this fair having engaged the inter, st
of the most brilliant society in the
world. Tuesday appears to have been
a fashionable day. All Paris, as they
say, was at the fair, and the list of
names of the dead and injured indi-
Gates very clearly over how widea cir
Gle the shadow of this horror spreads
1t is foolish for us here, on imper-
feet information, to speculate upon the
fault or neglect or mismanagement
that made such an occurrence possible.
The conspicuous fact is that the same
thing might occur anywhere under
like conditions, and that these condi-
tions are apt to be repeated at every
fancy fair or charity bazaar, and at
public celebrations and exhibitions of
all kinds, particularly in Temporary
buildings, put up and decorated with
out proper regard to safety and into
which crowds are admitted without
provision for rapid exit. Theatres and
other public buildings are now general
ly well regulated and watched; it is the
temporary places and the amateur
gatherings that most need inspection
and this awful warming from Paris
should lead to general caution and
should stimulate the vigilance of the
police authorities every where.

General Miles may strike war in
Europe, but the particular war he was
going to see will hardly last till he gets
there. Indeed, it is not clear that very
much of military science is to be learned
either from the Greeks or from the Turks
in any event, and if any of the Greeks pull
themselves together and keep on fighting
now they cannot maintain very dignified
form of warfare at the best. Whether
they will be allowed to keep up the fight,
if they want to, is most uncertain and
General Miles best chance is that the
powers may continue to disagree as to the
best way of stopping them and thus may
be drawn into a fight among themselves
This would make a war worth witnessing;
and as such a war would probably be short,
sharp and decisive, after it once began,
it may be well for spectators to go early
and secure place. This is only contin-
gency that would make it worth while to
travel so far. But an excursion to the
Mediterranean is always agreeable, and
nobody will begrudge General Miles "a
summer outing.
