GOBLIN MOTHS
SLAYER COMES
First American Appearance
of Star Parasite That Is
to Save the Apple Crops

The parasite that is expected to ex-
terminate the Goblin moth in Califor-
MIA and ultimately. perhaps, through
out the United States. has made its
first American appearance in San
Francisco. II came in charge of the
Horticultural Commissioner of the
State Of California. George Compere
discovered the parasite in the apple
orchards of Spain. The Goblin moth
that the parasite is imported to at
tack is the source OF the falsehearted-
ness OF apples. The Goblin moth
causes an annual loss of many mill
hon dollars by infficting upon the
farmers of the land bad apples in
large percentage of the total crops.
Nothing that has yet been tried has
prevailed against the moth. Even
faithful obedience to the fruit-grow-
er's commandment, Watch and
spray" has availed little.
Some time ago it was reported ex-
clusively in The Call that Compere
had found the parasite needed. He
saw in Spain orchards with hundreds
OF apple trees in vigorous bearing. The
Goblin moth existed in these orchards,
but the parasite was there, too. and so
vigorous and effective that, although
il was proved that the Goblin moth had
been there for thirty years. the farm
ers We're surprised TO find that il ac-
tually existed in their orchards. This
is taken TO be a satisfactory proof of
the efficiency Of the parasite.
Eggs and one or more mature para
sites are in evidence in the headquar-
ters of the Horticultural Commissioner
ia the ferry building in this city. They
are objects Of the greatest interest to
Nessrs. Ehrhorn and earns Of the quar-
antine service of the State. The eggs
are beginning TO hatch out. Abund-
ant food has been provided for the
maintenance of the parasites when
they begin 10 feed. In a few months
colonies will be sent to infested or
chards in all parts of the State and
then the most important experiment.
hOrticulturally considered. that has
ever been tried in the United States
viii be made on a large scale. If Cali
fornia succeeds the other States of the
Union will eventually, no doubt, take
note of the newcomer.

WANT OWN INSURANCE.
Meeting To Discuss Subject of Such
An ORGANIZATION.

A very interesting meeting of the
Business Mems Association was held
last night in the rooms of the Inde-
pendent Fire Company. The attend.
ance was not large. but those present
discussed the subject under considera-
tion freely and with much interest.
After routine business the chief sub
ject for consideration came up. 1t
was the gu sstion of the organization
of a mutual fire insurance company by
the Business Men, over which they
will have complete control.
The committee consisting of Robert
J. Bergman, John b. Flood, Henry
b. Myers, William H. Moss and
Ridgely p. Melvin, who had been ap-
pointed to look into the feasibility of
such an organization, made report
Melvin, who had been delegated by
the Association to visit Ciecl, Hartford
and Montgomery counties, where such
insurance companies have been organ
lied, returned a complete report,
showing how mutual companies are
conducted and pointing out their ele-
ments Of strength and weakness. Much
data was furnished, and it was shown
where a similar organization in Har-
ford county had been a success for
over sixty years.
The local Business Mems Associa-
tion have determined to effect the or
ganization of a mutual fire insurance
company, and to this end they will
hold special meeting on next Thurs
day night when all members are re-
quested to be present.

A MUSICAL Extravaganza.
ANENGLISH DAISY AT THE
COLONIAL THEATRA
LAST NIGHT.
A Creditable Performance Bot The
Attendance Was Smaller
Than Usuai.

Perhaps because of the big dance
given last night at the Naval Academy
boathouse by the crews of the u. $.
Santee and other ships the audience
at the Colonial Theatre was not so
large as it would otherwise have been.
The play was IAN English Daisy, +" a
musical extravaganza, written original
ly for the English stage by Seymour
Hicks and Walter Slaughter. 1t was
the first presentation of the produc-
tion here and its numbers met with a
warm reception.
Having been written for the Eng
lish stage it was revised for American
performance by Edgar Smith and is
quite up-to-date. The plot has TO do
with the interest of a young British
lieutenant in IAN English Daisy, I"
who sells flowers outside the Kursaal
Garden, Ostend, and the efforts Of
Hiram Smart, an impecunious Ameri-
can, to make his needy chum, Daniel
Crab, the life partner of Lavenia
Grubb, an heiress, as lovely as her
name, in the presence of a brace OF
African lions. There is considerable
fun in IAN English Daisy, as we'll
as many pretty musical numbers.
There are two acts, one on the beach
at Ostend, and the other in two scenes,
the greenroom and illuminated gar
den at the Kursaal.
There are as many musical numbers
as constitute comic opera. Most of
them are original, and few adapted,
notably Cole and Johnson's Big In
dian Chief,' written for the "Mask
and Wig, and sung last night by Miss
Young and Mr. Murray, accompanied
by chorus dressed in Indian costume
This was one of the gems of the per-
formance, together with Mr.. Powers
solo "Under The Roseleaf Window, "
and the male quartette that accom-
panied him. Other pleasing musical
numbers were: 'tSaucy Sally, AT
The Music Hall, " with limitations, and
81 Am Little English Daisy" The
play was well presented. Ollie Mack
and Charles A. Murray are the leading
comedians, impersonating the Ameri-
EN- adventures, Grab and "Smart. -
Edward Powers was exceptionally
good MS Lieutenant Lambton. of
the Royal Artillery, who loves and
wins the DAISY, and Grace Cum
mings, as the English Daisy" Alice
Holbrock as the dashing "Celestiene"
and Caroline Lee as the homely heir
ess, "Lavinia Grubb, were all ex-
cellent. There is a large chorus of
pretty girls, and altogether the per-
formance was creditable throughout.
