These eggs soon hatch into larvae

of its value, as | was Informed by q
dealer in fire-wood.
The wood was corded and having
in the house can of disinfectine, pre-

a thin gallon pail somewhat less than
a pint of the liquid. filled the pail with
water, and with a wisp Of straw, scat

with what rapidity the beetles took
their leave. In the two weeks that
have elapsed since the experiment was
tried, they have not returned. Prob
ably a weaker solution could be used
with equally good effect.

MARINE CORPS APPOINTMENTS.
Examinations for Vacancies Soon t,
Be Held.

An examining board will meet at the ma
rine barracks, Washington, d. c., on the
Goth instant, to examine candidates for ap-
pointment as secol lieutenant in the Ma
rine Corps. There are twenty-seven vacan-
cies of that kind at present. and that num-
Der of candidates VIII be designated by the
Secretary of the Navy to appear before the
examining board In case of the failure of
any of those designated candidates to quail
ify, the Secretary will make new designa-
lions Up to the total number required
Under the provisions of the personnel law
authorizing an increase of officers in the
Marine Corps, IF deemed necessary in the
interests of the service, it is probable that
the Secretary of the Navy will take action
for the appointment of forty-fve additional
officers, including fifteen captains, fifteen
first lieVtenantS and fifteen second lieuten-
ants. If that is done the Marine Corps will
have its fun authorized quota of sixty cap
tains, sixty first lieutenants and sixty sec
ond lieutenants. These appointments can
not be made under the law, however, until
after the lst of January next, and even at
that time are conditional upon the actual
needs of the service. An early termination
of the troubles in the Philippines would
probably obviate the necessity of increasing
the Marine Corps to the extent indicated.

To the Editor OF Inc Evening star.
The Star has ever been the friend and
advocate of the rights of the people of this
city and for this reason l desire to call
your attention to the mismanagement of
the Columbia railway line on II street
and the inconvenience to which the people
travelling over this road subjected. The
conductors are courteous and polite, but
owing to the neglect of the officials of this
line to put the necessary number of cars
on the track, it is simply i'm
possible to accommodate the crowds
going to and returning from their work,
especially between the hours from to 8
am. and from to $50 in the evening
am daily passenger over this line morn
ing and evening, and have obtained seat
in these cars but once in the last three
months, and have witnessed the diScom-
fort of the passengers, especially ladies.
who are rudely ted and crowded by the
crowds that force their way into the cars
regardless of the Difference due to women
by men on all occasions. The ladies have
a right to complain Of the manner in which
they are treated and this state of things
could not exist or be tolerated in any other
city in the United States. 1t is a mystery
to me how the conductors can collect the
fares in such crowded ears, for indeed, it
is almost as difficult to leave a car as it
Is to enter one.
My object in writing this communication
is to induce The Star to use its influence
to obtain from the officials of this COM
pany sufficient number of cars on this line
from Z to a-m and from to $50 m. to
accommodate the people whom necessity
forces to patroniZe this line. This request
Is a most reasonable one, and an act of

HOLIDAY AT The univ ERSIT !

Team.
Gu RRENT SPORTING NOTES

The annual field games of the students of
Georgetown University, including the law
and medical schools, were to be held this
morning on the campus of the university
but the event was postponed, and instead
there was an exhibition meet, in which
many of the students took part. The class
games were done away with until the in
door meet of the varsity, which will be
held this season some time next February
the date not yet being selected. when the
different classes will compete for hand
some banner, which will be given by the
rector, Rev. John d. Whitney, S. J.. to the
class making the greatest number of points
The students were given a holiday today
at the varsity. and the exhibition events
given included 1OO-yards rum 220-yards
run, 40 and SS0-yards run; running high
jump and fifty-y ards run the last num-
Der on the program. The events were wit
messed by all of the pupils of the university
proper. and much enthusiasm was shown
Duffy of the law school more firmly
ciinched his title of champion runner of the
Institution. being the equal of any runner
ever known at the place with the exception
of Wefers. Mulligan, who succeeded Wef-
ers, was once before beaten by Duffy and
owing to the fact that he Is in Philadel-
phia. he would have been a contestant in
the events this morning, thus definitely set
Ting the relative merits of the two sprint
erS. The summary of the events today is:
100 yards run-Duffy won. Holland see
ond. Lynch third. Time, 10 Is seconds
DO yards run-HoIland won, Lynch sec
ond, Byrnes third. Time. D 10 seconds.
40 yards run-Holland won, O'Shea Sec
ond. Time. II 4-5 seconds.
$50 yards run-DesseZ won, Sheridan sec
"nd. Time. 2O7.
Running high jump-Won by Holland;
distance five feet six inches.
30 yards run-Duffy won Culviier Sec
Ond. Time. ) 10 seconds.
No regular game of foot ball is sched-
uled with the varsity team for tomorrow
Instead the scrubs will play the scrubs
OF Gallaudet College, and an interesting
game can be looked for. The scrubs of
Georgetown have been putting up a fine
game against the varsity eleven, while the
Kendall Green scrubs have been doing
equally as fine work with their first team
The rivalry between the two teams is just
as great as that which existed between the
first teams of the different colleges, and,
while the Gallaudet eleven was defeated
by the blue and gray, the scrubs will at
tempt to even up matters by defeating the
Georgetown scrub eleven.

Child Fatally Burned.

Ruth Farrar, colored, a child three years old
died at Freedmen's Hospital late last night
from the effects of burns received earlier
i'll the night at the home of her mother. in
rear of 11th street northwest, between .
and r streets. 1t is supposed that while
playing in the house the child accidentally
upset a coal oil lamp. Her screams attracted
the attention of neighbors and passers-by,
who went to her assistance. Her clothes
were partly burned from her body and in
addition to external injuries she had in
hailed the flames. The police ambulance
was summoned and the little sufferer was
taken to the hospital. 1t was evident that
she had been fatally burned and all the
DOCTORS could do was to relieve her suffer-
ings. Coroner Carr investigated the af-
fair this morning and gave certificate of
accidental death.

Cham piOns and Ex-ChamplOns of the
Bowling League Meet.

The champions and the ex-champions of
the District Bowling League met for the
first time this season on the Saengerbund
alleys last night. The totals made aver
aged only fair. The home team scored best
in two of the games. The CAROLS passed
800 in one game and fell below 100 in an
other, which is peculiar bowling; but as
none of the teams are well seasoned as yet
there may be some excuse for the smaller
game. While OConnor made much the
highest SINCE string of any of the CAROLS
when he ran 1S2 in the second game he
has not yet shaped up for the good work
highest single string of any of the CAROLS
did notable work, Harlow playing an I'M
usually low game.
For the Saengers Jorss and Burdine did
best, although JOrss score in the second
game spoiled his chance for high average
In the final game he bOwled a run of los
pins in the asst four frames, and it Is pos
sible that record may not be excelled this
season.
The home team won easily in the first
game. The Institute lost in the second
frame, when every player broke This
gave the Saengers a lead that was never
overcome. and it was stern chase through
out. Both sides were woefully weak on
strikes The score follows:
