White imagined he was being prosecuted

FAIRFAX, Va, June flames Lewis,
colored, who was recently convicted Of
criminal assault on Mrs. Reidel of this
place, was hanged at SOB this morning in
the jail yard in the presence of about fifty
people. Lewis was quite cool and walked
to the gallows without assistance. There
was no demonstration of violence on the
part of rhe crowd. The crime for which
Lewis suffered the extreme penalty of the
law was that of ravishing Mrs. Ida Reidell,
a white woman, who lived with her son
some miles below Alexandria, Va. The
crime was a brutal one and stirred the in
dignation of the people of the surrounding
country almost to the lynching point. He
had three trials in as many days, the jury
in the first two cases being unable to agree,
and in the last trial declaring him guilty
and imposing the death penalty. He as
serted his innocence until yesterday, when
he admitted that he committed the assault,
and also confessed that he had at various
times committed assaults upon three other
women, for one of which he served term
in Jail.

CHEI SEA.


Decidedly the event of the season,
if not indeed for the whole year for
the residents of Chelsea. was the en-
tertainment given on two evenings of
last week by Capt. Jack Craw ford, the
poet-scout. A rough, untutored son of
nature, he has, nevertheless, so many
original gifts that he quite captivates
his audience and holds it spell bound
during the evening. He has rich
vein of humOr deep and tender eX-
preston Of pathos, and the real art Of
graphic narration. His exquisite pow
er of mimicry was often illustrated, as
in his portrayal of English dudes and
dudesses, and in his parody of Italian
opera. Among his recitations They're
praying for me at home," and the old
German cobbler's lament for dot
leetle poy vot tied" were perfect gems
of pathos. But he was most interest
ing and profitable in his account of his
experiences of scout life upon the
plains, where indeed he seemed most
at home. Waterson Post G. A. r., un-
der whose auspices the entertainment
was given, are entitled to credit, and
Capt. Jack Crawford will be long re-
membered by all who heard him.

Prof. Woodwork says that the net
and the fan methods are the only ones
which are at all practical for summer
use. He observed that nearly 80 per
cent. of the hoppers were killed by the
net method while working with a gang
large enough to cover about five acres
a day. About half Of the gang of men
were green hands, part white and part
Chinese, and at the rate of wages the
cost per acre would be between 10 and
20 cents. This is an illustration of the
value of scientific agricultural work.
Such pests are sure to come. The av-
erage farmer cannot afford time and
study needed to understand how to
fight such insects or diseases. There
must be scientific men somewhere with
nothing to do but to study these mat
tiers and give their results freely to
the world.-Rural New Yorker.

average it was found that so per cent.

AFTER INDIAN WIVES.

Whites Who Wish to become Squaw
Men and Secure Lands.
According to the recent ruling of the
interior department August Is was the
last date on which it was possible to
qualify as a Cherokee citizen in the
Cherokee Strip" and as a consequence
a great number of scheming white men
were hunting Indian girls for wives, to
take advantage of the laws and become
a squaw man before that date.
Each Indian girl is entitled to 16O
acres of land in the Indian territory and
a share in the large sum of money held
in trust by the government for the
Cherokees. Thousands of white men
have already acquired valuable lands
by marrying into the tribes, and all the
eligible indian maidens were being
courted with as much ardor as titled
foreigners display in their efforts to
win the hearts and fortunes of Ameri-
can heiresses.
Notwithstanding the m~ercenary mo
tives of their s~uitors, the Indian girls
readily accept marriage proposals from
white men. observation having taught
them that most squaw men treat their
wives with more consideration than
do the full-blooded braves. The
boom in the matrimonial market be-
came greater as the day approached
when citizenship rights mightnolonger
be acquired by marriage, and all the
ministers on the reservation and even
over the Arkansas border had their
hands full. Many of the Cherokee girls,
despite their dark skins, possess con-
siderable beauty and much intelligence,
and some of them are graduates of the
best Indian schools.
The results of intermarriage with
whites are being watched with interest
by students of the Indian question, and
the belief is gaining ground in the west
that the allotment of Indian lands in
severalty and the gradual assimilation
of the Indians by the dominant racewiIl
in a few years relieve the government of
the problem that would otherwise never
be satisfactorily solved.-Cincinnati

A cow that will make 800 pounds Of

IS A DEATH TRAP,
A Novel Plan of Protection to the City
of Halifax,

1t is probably no. generally known
outside of the English officers in COM
mand of the station that Georges is
land, in Halifax harbor. is a huge pit
filled with water, and that if an at
lacking party succeeded in passing the
forts at the entrance to the harbor and
landed they would be precipitated into
the water and drowned. The surface
of the ground is sodden and planted
with shrubbery, and is apparently
solid, but the only really solid part of
it is a narrow board walk on which
the sentries pace to and fro. In case
an invading party took the island for
the purpose of commanding the city of
Halifax they would break through and
fall into the pit about Is feet below
the surface. The excavation was made
about 60 years ago, and the secret was
kept for not less than 80 years.
It was not until 1867 that the dis
covery was made by two men in a boat,
driven ashore in a gale One OF them
attempted to make his way to the
dwelling occupied by the garrison and
suddenly disappeared. His companion
happened to get a footing on the board
walk. Discovered by the sentry, he was
summarily elected from the Island, be-
ing placed aboard his boat and being
sent adrift in the storm. He succeeded
in reaching Halifax. The man who
broke through was drowned. The
story got spread about, but was not
believed. and as no civilians are per-
mftted to land at Georges island the
peculiar system of protection is to-day
practically a secret.-N. Y. Mail and
Express.

DEVICE FOR EARRING INSECTS.

leaves. This method is considered in
effective, as are also the methods OF
burying the leaves and spraying in win
ter.
Summer spraying is said to be an
effectual process, but is costly and diff
cult. The insect is very active, and in
order to kill it a very strong and PEN
etrating wash like kerosene emulsion
must be used. Earring is considered
one of the best remedies when tried in
the spring and under certain condi-
tions. Fig. 1 shows certain contriv-
that are used in Earring. The
scoop Dr. shovel is held up against the
vine to hold the hoppers which are
driven down by striking with a stick.
Another way to fight the pest consists
in using a plain palm leaf fan dipped in
