As an Authoress She Ranked as the
Peer of Mrs. Drowning.
Miss Jean Ingelow, the distinguished
poet and novelist, died in London re-
Gently, in her seventy-seventh year.
Jean Ingelow was more widely
known as a poet than as a novelist. Her
first work appeared in 1883 and imme-
diately created furore in the literary
world, being ranked by many critics
of the day above Longfellow's and Ten
nyson's work.
She was a matured woman at the
time, being above SO years old, and it
was noted that all her poems had a
quaint, tender note of sadness in them,
which Immediately raised the belief
that she had been disappointed in love
in her youth. However, whether the
tender passion ever held sway within
her heart was never known and by
some was never believed. They ex-
planned that 1t was not love which die
tated the strain of sadness found
throughout her work, but the many
years Of her childhood spent in the
quiet, Unconditional life of the Boston
home off the Lincolnshire coast. A
ballad, which was published early in
her career and which fascinated the
literati of the time with it's bizarre
meter and gentle tactful impulsiveness
of description, was "High-Tide Off the
Coast of Lincolnshire" And this
sounded the keynote to her character.
In 1887 she published a second vol
ume of poems. after which they came
at irregular periods, but always were
sought for with avidity by publishers.
Miss Ingelow was regarded as the peer
of Mrs. Browning, her fame resting
alone upon her poems. Her work as
novelist attracted not so much at
tention, despite the fact that the pub
LEGATION of her first novel, "Off the
Skelligs," was eagerly awaited.
During later years her verse was
kept afoat and before the public by
magazines and exchanges the world
over. 1t was not an uncommon thing
to find an occasional one of her early
efforts reprinted in any of the metro
politan dailies. And great deal of her
work found its way into the curriculum
of the schools, where it was regarded
as classical.
Many of her verses have been set to
music and her songs ''Oh, Fair Dove,

SMALL, BUT y0RACIOUS.
Moth Which Costs a State Over
One Million Dollars.
Desperate Attempts Made In Massa-
chusetts to Exterminate the Gypsy
Moth - Peculiar Origin of
the Pest.

After spending $195,0oo during the
past six years in waging war upon the
gypsy moth the state of Massachusetts,
has Just made another appropriation of
$150,OO0 for the same purpose. The
moth will eat up that trife in less time
than it takes to collect it of the tax
payers and go marching on in count
less millions more ready to meet the
next attack.
Mr.. Fernald, the entomologist of the
Massachusetts, state board of agricul-
ture, estimates that it will require $780,
600 year for the next five years, then
100000 q year for five years more and
then another period of five years at $751;

ing nothing of the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars damage that will be
done in the meantime to trees and
crops.
And, says the New York World, 1t
all came about because Frenchman
2s years ago left tray standing by an
open window where the wind whisked
it's contents out to the ground below
and then scattered them hither and
thither. The Frenchman was Mr.. Trou-
velot and the contents of the tray were
eggs of the gypsy moth Mr.. Trouvelot
had brought with him to Massachusetts,
from Paris. The Frenchman knew the
mischief he had inadvertently wrought,
for he knew the gypsy moth-knew its
astounding breeding powers and knew
the damage it had done in France. No
living creature, unless it be the Austria
Ian rabbit, has such tremendous ca
pacity for reproduction as this devastat-
ing moth or worm.
In a few years after that unlucky
puff of wind in the vicinity of Medford
had sown the seed fully 80 townships
in Massachusetts, were being ravaged
by the moth. 1t was like trying to bail
out the ocean with a spoon for indi-
vidual farmers or even committees to
make war upon the invaders. Where

oh, Fond Dove!" tale of sailors love,
and "Mopsa, the Fairy" were widely
sung and fingered long before the pub
lie. Much of her work was supposed
to be photographed, in which con-
nection it was for a long time thought
that her name, "Jean Ingelow,"
which she candidly signed to her work,
was a nom de plume and many people
were set by the ears to discover the
real identity of the author, in many
cases it taking them longer than if she
really had in the first place signed n
pseudonym.
In her youth it was said that the
poetress was not regarded as an infant
phenomenon and that nothing was es-
pecially noticeable about her except
her timid demeanor and prediction
for wandering off along the coast,
where she loved to sit in loneliness and
watch the sea.
At her death Miss Ingelow was n
years old and was living in little cot
tage at Kensington, where, with her
brother, who had remained bachelor
all his life, she passed her days sur
rounded by the beautiful greenery-
screened gardens attached to the lodge
and in which, it was said, it was her
greatest pleasure to roam. The con-
servatory is said to be as large'again
as the little cottage, and her favorite
amusement was to wander through the
sweet-scented aisles of this and watch
her little pet birds at play.
Of late years she had passed from
public mind and not many recalled the
sensation her early work created.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 11.-An ILL
cit distiller from Pike county told a
horrible tale of brutality in the United
States court today. Last April near
Henderson, in Pike county, Charley
Winslow "A negro of excellent charac>
ter, was assassinated. Suspicion
pointed to various wildcat distillers
of that section, as Winslow had testi-
fled against a number of them.
Eugene Whittle, and George Quarles
white men, were arrested and charg-
ed with the crime. The case was call
ed in the United States court yester-
day, and Whittle was acquitted.
Quarles, after adjournment of court,
wrote out a confession. He writes
that he, his brothers, John and Charles
and a man named Dunken, all of
whom were interested in Illicit whis-
key making, formed a conspiracy to
murder Winslow. Their grievance
was that the negro was too handy a
witness against them.
They assembled at John Quarles'
house, blackened their faces, and going
to Winslow's house called him to the
door. He responded, was seized, car
ried some distance from the house in
to the woods and beaten and shot to
death in a most savage manner.
Quarles says he is married man with
six children less than six years old
and his brothers are single, and he
seems to believe that their conviction
will lessen his punishment. They

How Princess Victoria Was Told OF
Her Chance OF Succession.

Her Chance OF Succession.
Many interesting stories of the "Girl- |
hood Days of England's Queen" are told
ia an article in St. Nicholas, written by
James Cassidy. Mr.. Classify quotes the
following from letter written to the
queen by her former governess, Bar
oness LehZen:
1 ask your majesty leave to cite some
remarkable words of your majesty
when only IL years old, while the re-
gency bill was still in progress. then
said to the duchess of Kent that now
for the first time your majesty ought to
know your place in the succession. Her
royal highness agreed with me, and !
put the genealogical table into the his
torical book. When DIR. Days (the in
structor of the princess and afterwards
bishop of Peterborough was gone, the
princess again opened the book, as
usual, and, noticing the additional pa
per, said: 81 never saw that before"
ut was not thought necessary you
should, princess" / answered.
81 see 1 am nearer the throne than
I thought"
$50 it is, madam" said.
After some moments. the princess re-
sumed: Now, many child would
boast, but they do not know the diff
Guilty. There is much splendor. but
much responsibility"
The princess having lifted up the fore
finger of her little hand saying: II will
be good, dear Lehzen, will be good"
/ then said: But your Aunt Adelaide
Is still young, and may have children;
and, of course, they will ascend the
throne after their father William w.,
and not you, princess"
The princess answered.: And, if that
were so, should never feel disappoint-

thousands were killed hundreds of
thousands sprang up in a night to take
their places and breed millions more.
1t was evident that there must be
something more than spasmodic effort
at determination or the state of Massa-
chusetts would be stripped bare of
foliage. So Gov. Bracket called the
attention of the legislature to the sub
ject and seven years ago the war on
the gypsy moth which has been raging
was formally declared. How little the
Massachusetts, statesmen knew the for
midabfe nature of the foe they were
fighting is shown by the insignihcance
of the sum they appropriated-S25,OOO
to carry on the conflict. They might
as we'll have thrown their money to
the winds. The next year the moths
were worse than they had ever been
before, and they have been growing
steadily worse from year to year ever
since.
But Massachusetts, has not thus far
followed the lead of Australia in calling
upon the world for help in eXterminat-
ing her prolific rabbits and Offering
enormous rewards for any recipe that
would destroy them. Massachusetts
has undertaken her own fight and
seems at last to realize the magnitude
of what she has on her hands. 1t is
true that at a former session of con-
gress Massachusetts, did ask for an APP
preparation of $4,000 to help her carry
on the war. But congress declined.
1t was decided to take no part in an
insect war that was entirely local. So
Massachusetts was left to work out her
own salvation, and she las gone into
the task with ali her traditional energy
