Imported PestiferOus Insects.
Boston Transcript.

bOSlOH IIdIlSCllpl
1t seems surprising that our people should
be so Indifferent to protection from foreign
insect pests, when ii is known that they
annually destroy crops worth several mil
lions of dollars in this State alone. Ac-
cording 10 the last census report the yearly
valuation of fruits, berries and nuts in
Massachusetts is 81, 500 coo; % per cent, or
$4,000 worth of this amount is destroyed
by injurious insects For further statistics
see the report issued of the State Board of
Agriculture. These pests come 20 us from
abroad principally on plants, food and
clothing or in packing materials The
brown-tai moth is supposed to have come
on some plants bought by a nurseryman in
Somerville BY such means have also come
many other insect enemies, such as the
buffalo bug and the HeSSan fly, the most
destructive to grain of all insects in this
country. Along our Southern border in
Florida and Mexico very injurious insects
to the cotton plant and sugar cane have
come from the West Indies and Mexico
Still others are known TO exist i'm these
semi-tropical regions, which ii is very prob
able will sooner later reach us The
fruit growers of California have been alive
TO the necessity OF adopting a quarantine
system which has been effectual so far as
importatiOns TO persons living within the
State are concerned. Plants arriving at
State must pass through without examina-
ton. Such goods arriving in Boston may
be infested. and though the State Board Of
Agriculture notifies the consignee that they
are suspected. the latter, because no law
compels him. is generally unwilling TO have
them examined by expert on account of
the expense. From this source we may
receive still more Of the dangerous scale
insects which exist in the far East as the
trade in Japanese and Chinese plants is
steadily increasing. Open on all sides 10
danger, does IL not seem strange that some
action is not taken towards the protection
Of our New England vegetation? Are we
going TO let il be the feeding ground for
insects from all parts OF the world just for
the want OF a little thought. a little care
and a little action? What with cutting
down our forests by the axe and the de-
struction by pestferous insects of what
remains We shall soon have nothing green
en- OV.

Pnderewski,s Opera in New York.

NEW 1Ofths req lf.-lBlldce Il dueiO"
skis Manu-" an opera in three acts, was
produced by the Grau opera Company at
the Metropolitan Opera House tonight,
and was received with enthusiasm. After
the first and seconds acts the audience rose
to its feet and called fer the author again
and again. "Manru' is Paderewshs first
effort at dramtic writing, and in the main
is decidedly Wagnerian in its strength,
though at times it is beautifully light and
melodious. 1t is combination OF the Wag-
merriam and Italian schools with good deal
of originality that probably will now be
classed as belonging 10 the Paderewski
school of operate writing. The opera was
first produced in Dresden in 1901. and there
scored a great success. The ibretta Is by
NJ. NOssig, litterateur artist and sculp-
tor.
The theme is a study of the struggles
of the Slavic race, and the scene is laid in
Galicia, in the Tatra mountains. Manru
is a rowing gypsy, who falls in love with
and marries a village girl. in consequence
of which he is depOsed from the leadership
He afterwards rejOins his comrades and
assumes the leadership, with the result
that his companions drown his wife in
lake. This wIIe has a dwarfed lover, who
consummates revenge by throwing Manru
in the same lake.
Nine. Sembrich sang Ulane a role of
decided dramatic quality and quantity
much better fitted for Calve. Manru, the
title role, was sung by Won Bandrowsk,
whom Paderewsh brought over especially
for that purpose. He had full, round
voice of good quality and wide range, and
made a deep impression. David Bispham
sang the role of Ulok magnificently, and
il can be truthfully said he never sang or
acted better. Other roles taken by
Louise Homer, FRITZ Scheff, Nine. Van
Cauteran and Messrs. Muhlmann and
Blass. Walter Damrosch conducted.

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Hale will sail from

city a few days ago. Mr. Hale was under
DR.. Sterne's care for six weeks. Mrs.
Hale is a sister of Mrs. Wood L. Wilson

Mr.. Hale's illness was of peculiar ma
ture. Before his engagement with Mary
Mannering in Janice Meredith" he had
the part of Captain Hodgman in "Ari-
IONA" In one of the scenes of Mr.. Thorn
ass melOdrama Lieutenant Denton strikes
the wicked Captain Hodgman on the side
Of the head with his sombrerO. Night after
night Mr.. Hale had to take this blow,
and, though it seemed trile, the re-
curing shock caused a blood clot TO form
on the brain. The trouble did not develop
until after Mr.. Hale Joined Miss Manner
ings company. Then he began 10 have
severe headaches. and finally he left the
company at Cincinnati and came to this
city, the home of Mrs. Hale's family. Dr.
Sterne was successful in removing the
blood clOt and Mr.. Hale expects entirely
to recover by taking long rest in Italy,
