by shooting him through the head
while he was asleep early to-day.
Hollis was sitting in chair, when
his wife placed the revolver to his
head and blew out his brains. Last
night the husband consented to his
wife being sent 10 the insane asylum
at Farmhurst, Delaware, for treatment,
and the wife believed from that mo
ment that her husband had turned
against her.
Mrs. Hollis friends made strenuous
efforts to prevent her being committed
to the Dover Jail, but the Judges were
firm in their conviction that she should
be treated as any other defendant in o
capital case until jury passed upon
her sanity. Mrs. Hollis is the owner
Of several farms. Her husband, who
was merchant and promoter, was a
brother of Magistrate George A. Hollis
Of Wilmington.

The Cotton Boil Weeyll.

Washington, Nov. l2-Representa-
tive Slaydcn of Texas does not agree
with Secretary Wilson's conclusion
that the boil weevil cannot be EXTERN.
mated and that the only recourse
southern cotton planters have is early
planting. In discussing the announc-
ed conclusions OF the secretary Of ag
riculture MIR. Slayden says: II have
profound respect for the ability and
character Of Mr.. Wilson, and there
fore regret to have to differ from
him. What he suggests is not practi-
cable-at least not entirely 80.
Whether cotton is planted early or
late in Texas does not, as q rule, de-
pend upon the will Of the planter.
The seaeon regulates that, and the
season in Texas canno. be regulated.
The weevil did millions Of dollars Of
damage in south and south central
Texas this year 10 August and Sep
tember, during which month cotton
continues to bloom and to fruit. In
my opinion, the State Of Texas has
adopted the right course in Offering q
reward for complete remedy FOR this
distressing situation. Our State has
offered reward Of $4,000, open to
the world, for the discovery Of any
practical method Of destroying the
weevil.
Suppose the federal government
were to offer FIVE times as much, would
it not stimulate men Of science to even
greater exertions? I am told that
when the vineyards Of France were in
danger from an insect reward Of S100-
900 was offered for the finding Of a
remedy, and that it was found.
Whether that is true or not l don't
know. But it doesn't matter. We
can make precedents in this country.
"Such course would not reflect on
tho able corps OF scientists in the
department Of agriculture, whose time
is so fully occupied with other matters
that what study they can give to the
cotton boil weevil is o mere incident.
Mr.. Hudson, president of the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pase Railway com.
pany, in Texas--and it is not one Of the
very important cotton hauling roads
told me few days ago that approx
imately 100, 1000 bales Of cotton had
been eaten up on the line of his road
alone this year. That means loss Of
95, 900, 900 to the farmers and proper
tionally large sums to the transporta'
tion lines. ginners and others.
"Half million dollars would be 9
trifling sum for the government to pay
TO ezterminate this pest, and if no ex-
terminator were found, no reward
would be paid. Then, by continued
scarcity aud high prices in the United
States the cultivation Of cotton will be
fos.e.ed in ether parts of the world
and we may lose o market we have al
most monopolized for so long. The
situation is very serious"

A young man who isabout to plunge
into matrimony and who desires to be
happy though married, writes asking
me how he can train his wife into be-
ing the ideal helpmeet that every man
desires.
TO Ibis | should like to respond,
marry girl who is already trained to
be good wife, but unfortunately this
would doom him to celibacy, for it is
sad fact that no mother considers it
worth her while to fit her daughter to
become wife. We have schools of
acting, in which our girls are trained
TO become Lady Macbeths, Juliets and
Florodora Sextettes; schools Of music,
in which they are taught to become
high prima donnas; schools Of stem
ography aud typcwriting and book
keeping, in which they arc taught to
become business women, but there
are no schools in which they are taught
the great profession of how to be q
good wife. We chuck them into mar
riege as ignorant as baby Of all that
it takes to make happy and comfort
able home, and we trust to luck in
stead of teaching to give them inspira-
zion to deal with a situation that re-
qures the trained skill of master
mechanic, the shrewd financicring of
Wall street trust promoter, and the
diplomacy Of an ambassador to the
Court Of St. James.
The result is inevitable. Matri-
mony works no miracle. Love does
wonders, hnt it doeen't teach we-
man TO be off-hand helpful wife. The
giEl who did not know chicken from
veal before marriage has still got chat
TO learn after marriage. The one who
10 slouchy, shiftless and lazy as
girl is not going to find that matri.
mony has inspired her with sudden
energy and yearnipg for neat and
strenuous life. She who is extrava-
CANT also asoertains that matrimony 10
no Keely cure for the bargain counter
habit. In word, matrimony changes
nothing but woman's name and the
mere act Of walking to the altar does
not teach her how to be good wife
any more than it teaches her husband
how to practice law, or medicine, or
any other craft Of which he is utterly
and totally ignorant.
This is burning shame, and it is
the very root ee hsle Of the domestic
discord Of the present day. OF course,
in time tho average woman, not being
fool, learns to be pretty good wife.
She acquires knowledge Of how to
keep house through trouble and tribu.
lation and oataolysme, with servants.
She learns how not to waste her hus-
bands hard-earned money, and even
eventually to humor his vanities, and
to keep from stepping on the corns Of
his prejudioes, but before she arrives
at this highly desirable state of per-
fection they have both been through q
purgatory of mistakes, blunders, quar-
rels and mutual reoriminations. If
the first years Of married life could be
eliminated and people could begin

Citizens League Inquiry.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
In the introduction given by the Journal
this morning. to the report Of Messrs
Jameson. Coffin and Bennett, on the record
of John Hoffman, you state the follow
ing:
This committee, some days ago, notified
the Citizens League that IL had made such
leage the opportunity to perform the pub
lie duty of acquainting the voters of In
dianapolis with the facts as 10 Mr. Holtz-
mans record as prosecuting attorney. The
league, by way of reply. said IL had made
an investigation OF all the candidates on all
of the tickets. but was not ready to make
public its findings.
THE Inference drawn by the Republican
committee was that the league proposed
TO delay its report until the eve of the
election aud would then indorse the Demo-
quently Messrs. jameson, Bennett and Cof-
fin decided 10 publish the fruits of their in
vestigation at once"
The Inference" drawn from this state
ment is as far from the truth as is the
statement itself. While the Journal may
not be in accord with the executive COM
mittee OF the Citizens League, ii has shown
a disposition 10 treat the committee fairly
in its public utterances. / believe, there
fore, you will correct the statement l have
quoted when your attention is directed TO
the fact that in reply 10 the communica-
ton of the above named gentlemen, the
