The Baltimore Americas of Satus-
d ay says:
The motion for new trial in the
case of John J. Hetzel against the
Maryland College and SCHOOL of Au-
sic for women at Luther Vile was over
rule d by Judge Van Bibber in the Cir
cult coart at Townson yesterday The
mction was filed GU behalf Of the col
lege upon an alleged failure OF evil
deece to support the plaintiffs case.
The case was an unusual one In some
respects. The plaintiff, resident of
Martinsburg. w. Va, had sent his
daughter to the defendants college.
At the time OF her entrance he is said
to have paid on account of her board,
tuitition, ETC., $rSo
After she remained there tew days
she became i'll and asked that her
mother be sent TO r, and when this
was not d one. 1t is charged, she left
aud went to her sisters home in
Washington, where sshe fell in a
faint on the floor and remained un-
conscious for some tins. Her ply
sicians, says the complainant. advised
that she be kept away from the
school for sometime.
Mr.. Hetzel then asked tor part of
his money, but it is alleged, the col
lege refused it. Upon trial the jury
found for the plaintiff for $40, and it
was that trial the college wished to
set aside.

DOG TAX.

The city council have decided that
as they find law upon the books re-
quiring that a tax of sI.00 per year be
collected on evory male dog in the
city, the law must e tinforced, which
is right and proper. If the law Is a
bad ONE it should be repealed but most
people regard it as very good law.
There is nothing left for the mayor to
do but to enforce the ordinance rs he
fnds it.

COTTON .RoLL WEEVIL.

Some significant official predictions
regarding the ravsges of the cottOn-bOll
weevil are made in report written by
w. ID. Hunter, who has charge of the
chronological part of the Agricultural
Departments boll-weevil investigation,
in which 80 experts are now engaged
Mr.. Hunter says conservative authorities
agree that unless contingencies at pres
ent unexpected arise the pest soon will
cause an increase iu the price of cotton
throughout the world
By living within the fruit Of the plant
the weevil is well protected from any
poisons that might be applied it takes
only IA DAYS for development from an
egg to adult, and the progeny Of a single
pair in a season may reach 1874, 600, 600
individuals it adapts itself to climatic
conditions, and is remarkably free from
parasites and diseases-all these facts
combining to make efforts at control
difficult. The report estimates that the
presence of the weegil practically double
the area of land required to produce a
bale of cotton and that the weevil caused
the Texas planters loss of about $l5,-
900, 900 in 1908.
Assuming $500, 900, 900 as Tie value
of the normal cotton crop of the country,
M. Hunter says the probable ultimate
damage when the pest has become spread
over the entire belt would approximate
$3.50, 900, 600 annually, provided moth
ing done to check it. Planters, how
ever, are adopting changes in meth
ods that tend 10 minimize the damage.
The report predicts that the weevil event
uaIly will be distributed all over the
cotton belt, advancing into new territory
at the rate OF approximately 500 miles a
decade, and says it probably will be al
ways as destructive in series OF years
as it has been in Texas since 1894. The
reports suggests that the probability OF
its being carried to West Africa or else
where abroad is not at all remote, since
in case the I'd happens to be sacked or
even shipped in bulk there is nothing to
prevent the weevlls from being carried
long distances on shIpbOard, as they are
able 10 adapt themselves successfully to
climatic conditions.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
danger could be avoided by lumigating
or by leaving the seed sacked in store
rooms isolated from cotton for a year
previous TO shioment.

Rear -Admha' Rooley d. Evans, who is
now on his way from Manila TO New
York on the batdeship Kentucky, tells
of being entertained at diuner by the
King aud Queen of Italy. The report
is dated at Naples, and in part Admiral
Evans saws:
Upon approaching the barbor of
Naples it was observed that two large
French and Italian fleets were ar tho ed
in double line outside the breakwater,
and, upon being boarded by the barbor
pilot, il was leared that tue presence of
the ships was on account Of the visit of
President Loubet of the French Republic
to the King of Italy, both rulers beiog
upon the day of oUr arrival in Naples.
shortly after auchoring an officer from
the Italian flagship came on board and
informed me that the French President
and the King of Italy would inspect the
French and Italian fleets at a. M, and
requested me to extend the customary
saiutes and ceremon es ofsueh occasions,
which request was glad to comply with.
At s a. m. dressed ship with the French
national colors at the fore, the Italian
at the main, and saluted the port aud
officials. At a. m. his majesty with
the President of the French Republic,
on board the Italian ship Regina
Margherita, steamed out of the harbor
and inspected both lines of the French
and Italian fleets, the Kentucky fir
ing the customary saluIes. About |
a. M, upon the completion of the
inspection, the French President left
the Margberita and went on board the
French ship Marsellaise, after which the
French feet got under way and sailed
for France, the King of Italy returning
to Naples. On the morning of the goth
| was informed that the king would visit
the Kentucky. At the time Of the re-
ceipt of the message we were taking on
coal from lighters on both sides and the
ship was, consequently, not in very
satisfactory condition for inspection.
His majesty, accompanied by the minis
ter of marine and several attendant Off
GERS, came on board about II a. m. and
expressed his desire to be shown over the
ship. l escorted him through the ves-
sci, in which he showed great interest,
aud expressed himself as much pleased.
He spent about an hour on board, and
upon his departure complimeDted the
Kentucky very highly. Yesterday an
invitation was received for myself and
chief of stat to dine with the king and
queen at the royal palace in this city.
The dinner was very pleasant affair."
