ENEMIES OF THE SAN JOSH SCALE.
FIELD MEETING AND EXPERT
MElNTS WITH HYDROCYANIC
GAS ON A KENT ORCHARD.

Chestertown, Md, Oct. 16.-Professor
W. G. Johnson, state entomologist, held
what he calls a field meeting yesterday
afternoon IN the extensive orchards OF
Ca plain r. S. Emory. The meeting was
for the purpose of illustrating an extern
sive series of experiments with hydro
'yanic gas for the destruction Of the
san Jose scale. This was the first test
East Of California, and the results will
be watched with great interest by the
owners of the vast fruit interest of the
East. The treatment in California has
been made exclusively upon citrous
trees, and has proved partially success
ful, whereas the experiments yesterday
were upon deciduous trees.
The trial was witnessed by DR.. John
3. Smith, entomologist of New Jersey;
Professor G. Herald Powell, entomolo-
gist of the state experimental station,
Newark, Del; Dr. A. f. Woods, assist
ant chief division vegetable pathology,
Washington, ID. c.; Wesley Webb, de-
pa ttment of nursery and orchard in
srection, Dover, Del. DR.. John ]. Black,
of New Castle, one of the most extern
sive agriculturists Of the Peninsula;
DR.. Arthur r. Neale, director of Della
ware College Agricultural Experiment
Station; DR.. w. Frank Hines, DR.. c. p.
Gilpin, w. S. Walker, Senator c. T..
Weatcott, Wilbur Eliascn. Charles S.
Hill, c. c. Hopper, Edward w. Emory
and others of Kent.
The scale was discovered in Captain
Emory's orchard of over twenty thou
sand trees, about three years ago. Cap
tain Emory's long series of experiments
with whale oil soap have been par
TALLY successful serving at least to
keep the trouble in cheek The failure
Of the spraying treatment has been due
largely to the impossibility of reaching
every insect and the prolific nature OF
the pest. One female scale is capable
of producing in a single season three
billions of young.
1t is claimed for the new treatment
that no scale can escape, so searching
is the gas. From an economic stand
point the gas treatment possesses a de-
cided advantage The full results OF
the test cannot be positively known

THE PENINSULA PRESS

II seems to us that the policy that
the regulars are playing Is one OF sui
eide" both to themselves and to the
party; for they cannot possibly win
without the Union Republicans, and
they may win the state and county cleo
tions with them.-M Milford Chronicle.
John Cannon Short secured the mar
shal's office, and he was a regular; and
now Fred Bach has got thirty-five
hundred dollar Office, and he is at pres
ent hailing from the same camp.-Do-
yer Index.
The issue OF good government does
not confront the people of Wilmington
in this manner at present, as their mu
nicipal election took place last June,
and another will not be held until June
1899. But they are confronted with the
question OF the enactment Of a good city
charter, and that is the prime necessity
for a good municipal government A
good charter first and a good admins
tration OF that charter next-Every
Evening.
City Council has at last provided for
the payment OF the four commission
ers appointed by the General Assembly
OF 1895 to draft a new charter for this
city. The expenses Of the hecommissioners
are also ordered paid That the COM
missiOners have at last been given the
money, which they so well earned is
gratifying News.
II is characteristic of the Socialist
party to roundly abuse everyone who
does not fully concur intheireconomics,
however much they may also be doing
for reform.
Last Fall the gold Democrats said
they did not want to interfere with the
Democratic state tickets; that they
only wanted TO defeat Bryan. Now
they have turned up in almost every
state where there is a state election this
year, and have nominated full state
tickets. Is this consistency, or does II
show the true deceptive animus Of the
party?-Sussex Journal.
The consensus Of opinion is that the
Democratic ticket win have an old time
majority in this county this Fall. Bu
this furnishes no reason for any Demo
crat to relax his efforts TO obtain sig
nal and sweeping triumph-Ceci
Democrat.
The object pretends to be harmony
but what have the Union Republican,

The regular Republicans will not TAX

II Irishmen would fight for home rule
under one leader instead OF being split
up into small factions, each dickering
with the English for advantage over the
others, they would be much more sue
cessful. AS 1t stands now, the Conserv-
atives denounce the Irish members,
the Irish members denounce the Lib
erals and the Liberals denounce both
the Conservatives and the Irish, not to
mention the Unionists, and all the
other factions which are now playing a

The indignation of the Southern peo-
pie has been so greatly aroused by the
administrations action in appointing
negroes to local offices that orders have
been given the several departments to
desist. The shooting Of the negro post

brought the matter to a climax. Even

THE AMERICAN GIRL IN FICTION.
As a Heroine She Is Smart, and De-

As Heroine She Is Smart, and De-
lights in Managing Men.
Sometimes the characteristic type of
the American heroine of fiction is vul-
gar, sometimes cold-heaTted, or un-
kind, OF willfuls or indiscreet but she
is never stupid. writes "Droch" in La
dies Home Journal That is the ver-
dict OF contemporary observers on the
American girl. Whatever she may be
or do she always has her wits about
her; she is "smart." While her father
delights in managing factories, stock
operations, or railroads. she delights in
managing men. And in every kind of
fiction which she dominates the men
seem to be uniformly glad to be man
aged by her. Often in fiction she mas
been lacking in certain graces-chiefy
the supreme grace of tact. But there
are signs that our novelists have dis
covered that the American girl pos
sesses this grace also, and soft happens
that to-day she trails through fiction
not only with fine clothes. and beauti-
ful face, and generous deeds, and wit
ty, if impertinent, remarks-but there
is developing around her q gracious
manner, an unconscious simplicity that
shows itself in consideration for the
weaknesses of others-in addition to
that keen knowledge Of their foibles
which was always hers. What we have
yet to hope for is that her wealth or
her poverty may be made less obtrusiye
and less a significant part of her always
attractive personality.

A Stirring Example shown. by the

The energy with which the invasion
of the Klondike gold fields is being
pushed is illustrated by the enterprise
of New York company, representa-
tives of which are now on the way
thither, carrying material with which
a cable road from Dyea 70 Lake Linde-
mann is to be constructed, and which
the engineer in charge says viii be in
operation five days after his arrival, re-
ducing the cost of transportation 60 per
cent. At the same time. reports the
New York Tribune, representatives of a
Montana live stock syndicate will be
pushing forward q new trail through
the Stickeen river valley, setting large
force OF men at work upon the con-
struction of a road over which stage
lines will pass in the coming spring.
When that time arrives and the Yukon
ice breaks up, the immense river will
be crowded with oil sorts of craft, bear
ing men and material to the new El
Dorado and bringing back the wealth
which it pours forth in such flowing
golden tide. That far northern region,
so recently brought within known ge-
ographical limits, is certainly going to
be opened to the worlds enterprise and
occupancy in the promptest and most
energetic fashion. So far as the pro-
duction of precious metals is concerned
Alaska is certainly stepping TO the
front in the most magnificent manner

As there is talk Of taxing bicycles in
this state it is Interesting 10 note that
the revenue derived by France from
this source in 1896 was $530,OOO. Of
which more than one-tenth was paid by
Paris. As the tax was paid by something
more than 33O. 900 owners Of wheels II
demonstrates that the annual tax In
France is only about S1.5O per wheel.
In this state there is such a decided OPP
position to anything like a tax on BIZ
cycles that it is scarcely likely that the
members Of the General Assembly will
brave public opinion in this respect.

RECOMMENDED A SPANKING.
Alderman Millar Had a Four-Year-
Old Before Him.

Jack" Tierney, special officer of
Alderman Millar's court, weighs lit
tie over several hundred pounds.
Simon Lowenstein, of the South
Side appeared before Alderman Millar
yesterday morning and asked that n
warrant be sworn out for one Frank
Pantley, OF the South Side. Lowen-
stein averred that Pontley had smash
ed q pane of glass in his house. The
warrant was issued and Special officer
Tierney was sent to serve 1t. An hour
afterward he came a-pulIing into the
office.
Where's the prisoner, Jack%" asked
Alderman Millar.
"Oh, aldermanv exclaimed the big
special; the boy is only a baby"
Teirney went to the Pantley home
and when he saw the individual whose
name was on the warrant, he told
Mrs. Pantley the mother. TO bring the
culprit before Alderman Milfar. Ac-
corGing to agreement she carried her
son before the alderman later in the
afternoon. He is four years old and
small for his age. Lowenstein was
present to prosecute.
When Alderman Millar saw the pris-
oner he banished all thoughts of legal
punishment. He suggested that Mrs.
Pantley take the boy home and spank
him. This was done.
