ADRIAN $. HEWITT,

For, several years before his death
Abram Hewitt had practically ceased
to be an active factor in the worlds
to the time of the beginning of the ILL
ness which ended his life. During the
progress of the coal strike. and before
the President interfered to put an end
to it, he submitted some views on
the situation which excited wide
spread comment.
All his life, after reaching manhood,
Mr.. Hewitt had much to say about the
practical problems of business and
public affairs. He was never interest
ed in merely speculative problems. The
real affairs of life claimed his atten-
ton.
1t is said that fifty years ago he
predicted that the time would come
world in the production of steel and
iron. He was laughed at. and told that
he was a dreamer, and when Bessemer
made his great discovery it was pointed
out to him that if ever there was
a probability that his prediction would
come true it had ceased to exist. He
took the position that the Bessemer
discovery made his prediction all the
more certain, and he lived to see the
United States stand at the head of the
iron and steel industry.
He was a firm believer that the
South would one day rival the East
in the production of iron and steel.
He visited the iron and coal deposits
in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia
and said that the time would come
a manufacturing center of iron and
steel products as Pittsburg was. The
Importance of the Birmingham dis
trict as an iron and steel manufactur-
ing center is increasing with great
rapidity, and before this century is
half gone Mr.. Hewitt's prediction in
regard to it is likely to be fulfilled.
Mr. Hewitt had absolute faith in our
form of government, but he thought
that it would have to undergo SUI
preme test before the question of it's
permanency would be regarded as
finally settled. When that test would
come ne was not prepared to say but
it would come in his opinion from the
efforts in behalf of the principle of
socialism He was satisfied. however,
that it would stand the test and that
it would be demonstrated beyond all
question that 1t rested upon a solid
foundation.
Mr.. Hewitt left his impress upon his
time and his city. He did not achieve
great distinction in public life, being
untitled in some particulars to please
the masses, but his sterling worth in
other lines Of endeavor was so con-
spicuous that his name is assured of
an enduring place among the great
names of the city which was his home.

New Scheme to Draw a Crowd.

When the portly man, coming out
of a Sixth avenue department store,
ran down a little man who was trying
to enter. there was an explosion, says
the New York Tribune.
why don't you look where you're
going?' cried the little man, apparent
ly indignant.
Get out of my way, you little runt,
said the big fellow. DO you think ]
want you running your head into me ~
You are no gentleman!" cried the
little fellow. You elephant you!'
You miserable puppy, 1 just wish
you were half my size; I'd
And then a woman screamed, which
increased the gathering crowd There
was another volley of invective. The
crowd blocked the sidewalk to the
curb.
There's going to be an awful fight
declared woman.
There's not" said a man who stood
near her.
The two principals were edging to-
ward the curb. and finally got there.
From under the coat of the little man
came case of cheap jewelry The
other man produced a bundle of foun-
tain pens. In a minute they were
crying their wares. 1t was Just a new
scheme to draw a crowd.

THE TEXAS BOIL wEEVIL.

The boil weevil is one of the worst
evils that the Texas cotton growers
have to contend with. 1t did millions
of dollars damage last season; indeed,
the loss through it's ravages has been
estimated as high as $25, 000, 900, pretty
nearly the whole of the state being af-
fected with it. While it is a matter of
congratulation to cotton growers else
where that the weevil is still confined
to Texas, yet it is to be borne in mind
that Texas constitutes more than one
fourth of the cotton area of the coun-
try. A recent government bulletin, in
deed, fixes Texas relative position as
2S per cent. of the whole of the cotton
belt.
The government some months ago
took up the matter of the study of the
Texas boil weevil with the purpose in
view of finding some specific for it. The
conclusion of the experts is that it is
wholly beyond possibility that the
weevil will ever be exterminated. And
a more serious aspect of the situation
is the fact that the pest is constantly
spreading, and will undoubtedly be dis
tributed all over the cotton belt. 1t had
it's origin in Mexico, whence it entered
Texas. Now it is working its way North
and East steadily. Nevertheless, it has
been demonstrated that cotton can be
grown profitably by means of few
expedients in planting and managing
Al4a xxrlao fhn inc lie
present The expedients are cheap
and may readily be applied. The
Department of Agriculture dis
courages the use of poisons or maehin-
cry in combating the boll weevil. It
recommends dD early planting. (2)
thorough cultivation, 90 the destruc-
ton by burning or other means of all
cotton stalks in the fields not later
than the first week in October, and "a
the planting of rows as far apart as
experience with land indicates as FEAST
BILE, and the thinning out of plants in
the rows thoroughly. In addition it is
recommended that protection be given
to birds, like quail, which are known
to feed upon the weevil and other in
sects. The departments recommended
tons are set forth at length in Farmers
Bulletin, No. 1853.

The Old Familiar Faces.

L have had playmates, have had COM
panions,
In my days of childhood, in my low
full school days;
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
1 have been laughing, 1 have been ca
rousing,
Drinking late, sitting late, with my
bosom cronies;
loved love once, fairest among
women;
Closed are her doors on me; must not
see her
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
1 have a friend, kinder friend has no
man;
Like an migrate, 1 left my friend
abruptly:
Left him, to muse on the old familiar
faces.
Ghost-like paced round the haunts of
my childhood,
Earth seemed a desert 1 was bound to
traverse,
Seeking to find the old familiar faces
Friend of my bosom, thou more than
a brother,
Why vert not thou born in my faith
er's dwelling?
So might we talk of the old familiar
faces.
How some they have died, and some
they have left me.
And some are taken from me; all are
departed
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
