TWO MORE INSECTS.
Canker Worm and Cigar Case Bearer
Are With Us.

1t is hard enough to keep track OF
candidates for congress; but il Is hard
er yet to keep watch of all the insects
which work on our crops. Often the
farmer gives it up with the feeling
that il is not worth the while after all.
This isjust the difference, however,
between the good farmer and the rest
Of mankind. The good farmer locks
after his business in all its details.
Two little insects which are usually
of minor importance are doing more
or less real damage in Vermont at this
time. The observant fruit grower
has doubtless seen them on his apple
trees, and perhaps has been wonder
ing what they are.
The first is the eanker worm, some
times known as the measuring worm.
This is a small green or brownish
worm or caterpillar about an inch
long. 1t feeds on the apple leaves,
and on other trees sometimes. Ii
may be found spinning down from
the branches on tine silky thread
any time during the day. This insect
is smaller and greener than the forest
tent caterpillar, and does not run in
such large families. Ii does a good
deal Of damaged in some cases, how
ever.
The other insect is the cigar-case
bearer, so called from the fact that
the little case which il bears looks like
a miniature cigar about half an inch
long. These little cigars may be
found sticking straight up from the
twigs, leaves or fruit on which
the caterpillars are are resting. II is
a peculiar little seoundrel, and ought
TO be suppressed.
We are informed by the Vermont
experiment station that both these in
sects can be killed readily by spray
ing with paris green in the usual
manner. Full directions for using
paris green have been published so
often that il is hardly necessary to re-
peat them here. Experiment Sta

day set by Referee George w. Deber.
vile for holders of speculative claims
against the bankrupt firm Of Knott Il
Closson to show cause. as to why their
claims should not be disallowed and
expurged from the list. No creditors
appeared at the hearing and the meet
ing was adjourned. But six OF this
class Of creditors have appeared and
Referee Deberville will report to
Judge Wheeler at Brattleboro on
these six alone. The other "a claims
will undoubtedly be disallowed, judg-
ing from the notice recently sent out
by the referee. 1t has been held that
the speculative claims from profits
made in stock transactions are illegal
under the provisions of the Vermont
law and should be excluded. John j..
Enright, trustee of the bankrupt
estate, has sold the seat in the cotton
exchange in New York, which was
owned by Knott Il Closson at the
time of their failure. The price re-
oeived was $4,000, but there are some
deductions to be made so that not
quite this amount viii be Melted to
the estate. There remains as one OF
the assets a seat upon the coffee ex-
change which has not yet been sold.
The assets are expected to amount to
about $4,000. The examination of
the bankrupts will occur some time
within a few weeks and is said to
promise more interest than has the
Of creditors.

BASE BALL COMPROMISE.
Manager Hanlon Does Not Relieve in
Unnecessary Litigation.

Much comment was aroused yesterday on
account of the willingness of the owners Of
the Baltimore League franchise to talk
compromise with the new American Assoc
citation people about the Union Park suit
and the terms upon which the latter will
meet the proposals.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the recent base ball dissensions have gone
far enough. AS 1t is now too late To enter
tain the thought of a new association the
best thing that could happen would be the
harmoniZing of the conflicting base ball in
terests in the different cities with view TO
giving the followers of the game the best
possible base ball the coming season.
Mr.. Hanlon said last night:
I'VE have not made any direct offers of
compromise, but We are willing To discuss
the point because We think short cut
without unnecessary litigation is the best
for all concerned. Understand. We have
not lost the least bit OF confidence in our
ability to ultimately win out if the case
goes all the way through the courts. but
We think IL would be well for both parties
to avoid the tedious struggle which will en-
sue If the case Is not settled"

Base Ball League conferred in Cleveland

SPORTING NOTES

The Columbia Bowling Club defeated the
team of bowlers from the Young Mems
Christian Association in two of three
games last night. The match was played
al the Columbias' alleys, and was re-
rersal of the decision resulting from the
match between the clubs on the same al
leys earlier in the season. Outside of the
miserable total in the second game. the Co
lumbias plIyed in good, form. and deserved
their victory.
The association five play a game COM
paratively similar to their early season
work. but the ordinary amount of good
luck which always enters into a bowling
contest has left them, and the team seems
working under hoodoo. This was thor
oughly eXemplitied by the continuous run of
splits which came their way last night. Of
these Bum had many more than his share,
and in view of the fact that he avera ged a
split about every third frame. his score was
highly cred1table- The association again
presented their new bowler, Miller, and the
little fellow showed the older heads some
pretty TRICKS in difficult sparing. Some of
the ugly breaks were saved from the split
column by the clever work of this new
bowler. Outside of these exhibition rolls
he was steady and sure. and with expert
ence will make one of the leagues great
bovlers. Dasio again came to the front
and center, playing a good average and
seemingly confident on spare work. DIR.
Kicker was Unfortunate enough TO lose sew
eral pins on fouls crossing the line twice
during the evenings play. Once again the
result of TIE games leaves all of the teams
in the same relative positions in the eagu
standing This is an event that has been
of rare happening this season, the race be-
ing so close that almost every match has
caused a shifting of the teams. The Co
lumbiaS draw up quite close to the aSSocia-
tion. and other teams are closely matched.

certain one.

FIRE IN DETROIT.
More or Less InjUred-PrOperty
Loss 100000.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. IT. AS a result
of a fire which started soon after
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, in the
building at No. Is Jefferson avenue,
occupied by the Mitchell Bros. Co.,
Limited, manufacturers of elk skin
shoes, two men are dead and eight
persons more or less severely injured.
The fire started in the basement
which was used as a store room for
boxes and lumber. The origin re-
mains 4 mystery.
The flames spread so rapidly that
none o. the employees who were on
the second and third floors were able
to escape by the stairway. The girls
employed in the building were on the
third floor and when the cry of fire
was raised they became panic-strick-
en- and rushed for the windows where
a general fight followed in the efforts
to get out. The firemen took several
girls from the third story front win
dows while others escaped from the
rear by means of fire escapes. Ernest
LiZette, a laster, was smOthered to
death on the third floor.
