The San Jose scale, which was
brought from Chile to California about
a quarter of a century ago, and which
has been lately distributed among the
orchards of the Eastern States by in
tested nursery stock, is one of the
most dreaded and destructive enemies
of fruit trees. 1t has at last reached
Florida, says the New York Tribune,
and since the climate there is supposed
to be especially adapted to its consti-
tuition, its arrival was not made known
to the public until the Government
entomologist had satisfied himself as
to its identity. In examining some of
these insects Professor Rolls, of the
Experiment Station, discovered that
many of them were dead without anv
apparent cause, and correspondent of

has been caused by a contagious dis

which causes the disease is native of

spores with a spraying machine just

this is verified it will gladden. the

HIGHWAYMAN SCARED.
Motorman Scared Worse Latter
"Shy" Watch.

A highwayman has just held up an clec-
trir ear on the Reading and Lowell street
railway aud robbed the motorman. The
highwayman. evidently an amateur. hailed
the electric at a lonely place in the outskirts
OF the town OF Reading. In the car
were three women and two spare
motormen. besides the regular driver
and conductor. When the ear stopped,
in response TO the hail, the motor
man went to the platform steps to look
ont upon the road. As he did 50 he found
himself looking into a revolver. The sur
prise was SO great that he stepped to the
ground. The hiGhwayman was partially
masked, but 1t was evident that he was a
negro. Two Of the women tainted. One Of
the spare motormen jumped to the
front platform. turned on the cur
rent. and the ear, which was headed
toward Reading. ran away quickly, leaving
the hghwayman riling the mUtorman :
pockets. The ear. little later, returned
with "A number Of. male passengers and an
officer. meeting the motormuu As he was
trudgng into town. The highwayman had
taken his silver watch and small sum of

In any settlement of the Cuban
trouble which this Government NAV
promote, the sanitary question will
play an important part, predicts w +.
Curtis in the Chicago Record. Mr..
Olney opened correspondence on this
subject with Spain, but went no fur
ther than to inform that country how
much the epidemics of Cuba mean to
the United States. He forwarded
through the Spanish Minister to that
Government strong protest from
Surgeon-G General Wyman against the
continuance of the dangerous and
costly menace which the island has
long been to the Western Hemisphere.
When the present administration
moves in the Cuban matter this griev-
ance which the United States has
against the island will be kept promi-
nently in view. At some point in the
negotiations it will be insisted that
whatever government is established,
upon the return of peace, a guarantee
shall be required to maintain better
sanitary conditions. The State De.
partment and the marine hospital ser
vice will shortly consider the sanitary
proviso upon which this country will
insist The Surgeon-General has esti-
mated, as the result of All investiga-
ton extending over a long series OF
years, that over ninety-tive per cent.
of the danger of contagion to this
country from yellow fever and other
contagious diseases originates in
Cuba. The remedy is only a question
of the expenditure of money, and that
in Havana, principally. 1t is the con
clusion of experts, including several
Spanish commissions appointed to eX-
anime into the conditions, that the
same regard for sanitary laws observed
in the cities of the United States and
Europe will stamp out yellow fever in
Cuba, where the ravages are continu-
Gus every month in the year. The
last invasion of this disease from Cuba
into the Mississippi Valley caused
Is, 900 deaths and entailed CONNER
cial loss of 500, 600, 900.

youthful president Of Brown university, will
shorty resign his office Dr. Andrew has

Of ill-health. aud he is expected to return
directly after the celebration of the Queen ;
jubilee. At last weeks meeting of the trus-
tees and fellows of Brown university, Con
gresham Joseph II. Walker of Worcester
attacked President Andrews free trade aud
free silver teaching, claiming that his teach
ing in economics was contrary to the views
sustained by nearly every man in Rhode
Island, and urging that the board of fellows
should see to il that in his outside work Presi-
dent Andrews should not misrepresent
the university. 1t is said too that President
Andrews has incurred the displeasure OF
John ID. Rockefeller, the Standard oil king,
who was reported to he on the point of Civ
ing the college a million or so. 1t IL claimed
that President Andrews appeared in New
York and delivered an address to "A sort OF
labor and sOcialistic gathering just as Rocke-
feler was thinking of a generous gift to
Brown. IL is stated that the only thing
that deferred Rockefeller from aiding
Brown financially when his son grad
uated last week was the linger-
ing feelings that President Andrews
had too radical ideas on some matters OF
greatest moment. President Andrews has
had urgent calls TO go elsewhere. He has
built Brown up from the dimensions of
boarding school and placed it in the list of
the big niversties-everybody comedies
