FiahtIdq the Boil WeaylI.

The Texas state boil weevil com mission has not been idle. The state offered $50,0O0 for a device or rem edy that would meet the Mexican pest at cotton patch and drive it out, and 162 claimants contested for the prize before the state board
 But, alas and alack, the 162 plans were each and all tried on the weevils and not one of them proved effective. Not one of them promises to keep down and back the insects. The com mission has reported to the governor of the state that none of the extermi- nators have solved the problem, but they say there is merit in each of them, and they hope composite will accomplish the end desired.
 The fight against the weevil goes over to next year, and the prize of $50,000 holds good. The commission invites further efforts. It will meet next spring to renew the campaign, and there is hope that ultimately a defensive remedy at least will be dis covered. An aggressive one is much needed--one that will keep the pest from crossing the Mississippi, which 1t will do in 1905 if no means is dis covered to check it's progress. Texas serve the cotton crop from the rav- ages of the weevil, and the other cot ton states would do well to take up the task

The HiIlman.

The large dining room of the Hotel Hillman which is always closed for the summer, will be opened tomorrow night and Calman's full orchestra of ten or twelve pieces will discourse popular but artistic music from to 9:SO p. m. Sun day night dinners are notably social features at the Hillman Many promi- nent families, in order to let their ser wants off Sunday evenings, dine at the hotel. Music will be an attraction every evening during the dinner hour and every Sunday night the programme will be especially choice. All meals at the Hill man are served a la carte. Ever since last April painters and decorators have been at work on the interior of the Hill man and now as they are putting on their finishing touches this poular hos telry presents most brilliant appear ance. The parlor room and the spacious dining hall are marvels of beauty.
 MT. Nabb the proprietor. said yester- day more guests had registered in the hotel this week than at any time since last May.

Moyinu the Crops.

From the later days of August to the early days of November New York is called upon to furnish cur rency with which to move the crops of the south and west. This call comes as regularly as harvest time does, but many misconceptions con- corning it are entertained. The New York Commercial thus disposes of some of them:
 "The west is, as everyone knows, much wealthier than a few years ago. It is no longer heavily in debt to the east. The resources of the interior banks have increased wonderfully, but no one is so foolish as to imagine that these banks keep their funds in their vaults in cash. During the summer, when the require ments of local business are small, the interior banks send their reserves to the large centers like Chicago and St. Paul, which in turn forward their excess to New York, the financial center of the country. Interest is paid on these de- posits. whereast he country banks would receive no revenue if they kept these funds idle in their vaults. In the au- tumn the customers of the country banks need money to harvest their crops, and these banks naturally draw on their bal ances deposited in the larger cities. These cities in turn, recall their excess ball. ance deposited in New York. Briefly and simply stated this is the interior move ment of currency. which every fall ap- pears to create so much confusion in the minds of those who do not understand it."
 Beyond question the west is now able to move its own crops, but the south still has to borrow money for that purpose. If the present cotton crop can ue marketed at an average price of nine cents, it will go far towards putting the south in as strong a position as the west now occupies. Two cents additional to the average price means $10 a bale of excess money, and a eleven-million- crop would thus give this section $110,000,- 0)0 of. surplus money, which would be enough to move the next crop. The average price of the crop in the last ten years has not been above seven cents, and nine-cent cotton may put the south on it's feet again, just as dollar wheat made rich the west.
 But the surplus money would not be kept at home. It would be sent to New York, where it would draw inter est, and it would be recalled each harvest season, but the interest bill would be on the other foot

Birmingham Attractive.

People in Alabama are taking a lively interest in the state fair to be held at Birmingham" said gentleman from De- mopolis. From present indications the show this year will be a great success and the attendance will be large. Resi- come to look upon Birmingham as a Mecca for amusement seekers and visit to the interesting manufacturing center, with its furnaces and steel plants, is con sdered an important event. If farmers are not disappointed in disposing of their cotton at a good price many will attend the state fair. I predict that the number of visitors will be much larger than was the case last year"

THE TIGER.

By William Blake.
 Tiger, tiger. burning bright In the forests of the night What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand and what dread feet? What the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread graps Dare It's deadly terror clasp? When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears, Iid he smile his work to see? Did he who made the lamb make thee? Tiger tiger. burning bright
 Tn the forests of the night. What immortal hand or eye
 Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

ACCIDENTS ON TROLLEY LINES

From the Chicago Tribune
 There are in Massachusetts 2106 miles of steam railways and 2111 miles ofAelec- the electric lines. being those in the cities, are double tracked. the steam roads are far ahead in miles of track, the figures being 4436 to 2591. The electric roads lead in the number of passengers carried. In 1902 they carried 465.474,3S2 persons, as against 92 5l6,722 carried on the steam roads. Of course, the average distance travelled on the trolley road is much short CT than on the steam road.
 The record as to accidents deserves att tention. Eleven passengers were killed on the steam and eighteen on the trolley cars On the former 104 passengers were injured and on the latter 2S69 On the steam roads one passenger out of every 900 900 was injured and on the trolley lines one out of every 160,0OO. This is not a creditable showing for the electric roads. Undoubtedly the sad showing is due in part to the recklessness of passengers who take chances they do not take on steam cars. It Is due also to the lack of care and the absence of precautions in the operation of many of the trolley lines. The managers have not had the long ex- perience which railroad managers have had Men who have had little training and who often have not reached years Of discretion are put in charge of trolley cars which can outspeed a locomotive.

Juvenile Offenders.

The bill to establish juvenile court in Jefferson county, as branch or division of Judge Feagin's court, is a local bill which has sound public policy behind it. In no sense is the bill tentative, for progressive and well-governed cities have had such courts many years.
 Nor will. the. proposed. measure bring on state, county or city dollar of expense. The expense will be met by philanthropic persons. No new judge would De appointed, because Judge Feasip would become judge of the juvenile couSt in addition to his duties as judge of the police court, and the object of the bill is to give him better and fuller powers in the handling of offenders under the age of fourteen years. Commitments to the reformatory at East Lake would not be affected, such disposition Of boys being recognized in the bill
 The entire and sole object of the bill Is to provide for the handling of neglected and delinquent children In a manner that will carry them away from criminality and towards good citizenship. Every person who has given the subject much study or atten- ton knows that tho populous county of Emerson needs such court needs it much more than words can tell.
 The legislature is crowded with bills, but the Age-Herald begs mem- bers not to lea. boys under fourteen years of age in this crowded county to the ordinary processes of law. It is not best to do that. It has not reformation in it. It lacks hope so far as children under fourteen years of age are concerned. Four years be-

Mortality and birth returns show negro deaths than births. Under such circumstances negro population be- comes dependent upon immigration, and were it not for an inflowing tide there would in the course of time be no negro population in tho cities named. In Washington, for example, there were in the ceusus year 2,704 negro deaths and but 2,003 negro births In Boston the births num- bered 240, and the deaths 327. In New York city there were 1870 deaths and 1.430 births among the negroes in the census year. In Chicago there were 3S9 births and 679 deaths. In New Orleans. 1,735 births and 3,310 deaths. In St. Louis, 594 births and 1,555 deaths.
 There is nothing sectional in the figures presented by the census bu- reau. the mortality rate being as high in northern as in southern cities. Nor does climate seem to be controlling. The rates are plainly racial, relating more to race conditions than anything else. They are due beyond doubt to want of sanitary precautions, to pleas ure-seeking and to lacK of self-control under the circumstances created by the civil war. The negro population as whole is increasing, but it would steadily decrease in the cities If i'm migration did not keep up the supply.

MISSOURI RECIPE FOR
 MAKING PUMPKIN PIE

days in the name of pastry.
 The essential components of right pump- kin pie are cow-pumpkin, with a firm, nara shell, cut up in, say inch cubes. and stewed tender, sweet rich milk eggs, sugar and dash of ginger No other spice is admissible in a pumpkin pie. It is all off with the cook who meddles with all- spice or cloves or cinnamon or even nut meg. Some people know so little about pumpkin pie as to want it favored with vanilla, which is akin to the notion of Kansas sophist who thinks that pineapple improves apple pie, The objection of strong spices in pumpkin pie is that they vitiate its flavor and make it dark Stick to ginger and you will be all right. Then your pumpkin pie will come out of the oven, if it is properly baked, a golden brown, which is the only correct style.
 Made after the prescription of the New England grandmothers, pumpkin pie is a poem in pastry. It has an individuality which no other pie possesses All pies with top crust look alike, and it often requires considerable effort to know what they are made of even when you taste them. But pumpkin pie stands for just what it is. and it is the most fascinating coquette that ever took up its post in bakers window. You can't pass it by without an admiring glance, and the chances are largely In favor of even this slight attention becoming serious.
 There really seems less excuse for the wide deterioration of pumpkin pie than for any form of degeneration. and there ought to be enough rugged and simple virtue left in the land to organize crusade against 1t. Pumpkins are plenti- ful, sugar is cheap, milk and eggs ought to be, and as the easiest and really the cheapest way to make pumpkin pie Is the best, why should it be spoiled by the employment of alien and unhallowed in gredients? These thoughts and reflections are incidental to the season. and it is the sincere hope of The Star that they may be employed to the enlightenment of all cooks and housekeepers on a subject which is of moral as we'll as of gastron- omical importance.

 3 HE timely admonition that 'the \o frost is on the pumpkin" causes
 the public mind to turn lightly to thoughts of pumpkin pie. It Is ex- otics and other enervated products that are destroyed by the frost. It is those sterling fruits of the soil with the in trinsic qualities to withstand the cap rices of the American climate that mel low and sweeten when they are touched by the first breath of winter. Of such are pawpaws, persimmons. fox grapes and field pumpkins. which, under the chastisement of frost, lose all the acrid and astringent qualities which they as- simulate from the warmth of the summer
 It is only after the corn has been cut and shocked and the lush foliage of the pumpkin has been blighted that the huge yellow things lie revealed in all of their opulent glory They look rich enough and splendid enough to be fashioned from the gold of Ophir. In the whole fascinating panorama of nature which is moved along by the seasons, there is no such picture of plenty as a field strewn with fine. robust COW pumpkins, the kind, let it be remembered of which pies are made in harmony with the law of natural selection.
 Pumpkin pies, so called ,are fashioned it is true, of many different kinds of ma torial such as sweet pumpkins. squash and even sweet potatoes, just as mince pie is frequently compounded of ingredi- ents that would be shamed and discredit- ed by any honest analysis, and as apple pies masquerade as the real thing that are "faked up with the aid of Ben Da- vises. But there is nothing that will ac- tually do but a COW pumpkin if you want to make a pumpkin pie that is true and right in the inward parts and wholly un- assailable. Remember. too, that there are certain standards by which pumpkin pie Is to be judged that are Just as un- alterable and infaliible as any of the laws of correct architecture.
 There is pumpkin pie that is seal brown; there is pumpkin pie that is sort of a muddy drab; there is pumpkin pie that is sicklied OCT with a pale cast that is truly disheartening. but pumpkin pie "as is pumpkin pie'' must come up to a cri- terion which is we'll established among all honest cooks who have kept them- selves aloof from the vicious supterfuges which are practiced In these degenerate

At Fort Sam Houston.

Army officers at Fort Sam Houston are having a tussle with the servant problem" said a San Antonio man yes- terday Tt has been found necessary to make frequent discharges and 1t is hard to keep servants at the post At best the work Is hardly so desirable as a position in town. Officers will stand no trihing and a menial cannot afford to be too independent. The insolent servant is apt to come to grief before his stay Is long drawn. However, the officers at Fort Sam Houston should not feel that their case Is hopeless, for they are indeed very pleasantly situated. They can well afford to congratulate themselves for rot being stuck away in some obscure cor ner of the west where the only relief to a monotonous landscape is a stray Indian or a cowboy galloping across the plain. San Antonio Is a beautiful city and sol- diers stationed there can have a pleasant time without half trying. The privates indulge in a little too much gambling across the creek but as a rule are very orderly. However, it is the officers who really enjoy life and during the gay win ter season at this celebrated health re- sort they are much in demand at social affairs"

 Some men are so generous they give their wives liberal allowances, and then win it back from them at poker.
