THE BOIL WEEVIL
HAS COME TO STAY
NO CHANCE TO ExTERMINATE
THAT is THE VIEW OF A GOVERN
NIENT EXPERT.

Special Agent Hunter Says That, AL
though the Very Large Yields of
Former Years May Not BE POssi-
BILE, Cotton May BE Produced Pos
sibIy Despite the WeeviI-Whnt
He Says as to the Methods of
Planting.
Washington, Feb. 2.-W. D. Hunter,
special agent in charge of the cotton
boil weevii Investigations for the di-
vision of entomology, Department of
Agriculture, in a report issued to-day
as an emergency bulletin, says the
work of his division for several years
has demonstrated that there is not
even remote probability that the boil
weevil ever will be exterminated."
The bulletin adds:
Although the very large yields of
cotton of former times may no longer
be possible. it is nevertheless entire
ly feasible to produce cotton at a mar
gin of profit that will compare favor
ably with that involved in the produc-
tion of most of the staple crops of the
United States by following what have
become known generally as the cul-
tural methods, involving changes, and
notifications of the system of cotton
raising made necessary by the Wee
vii.
"They were originally suggested by a
careful study of the life history and
habits of the pest, and naturally any
improvements that may eventually be
made viii be the result of the continue
ton of that study. They have now
been tested successfully on a large
scale by the division of entomology. as
well as by many planters, during two
very unfaVorable seasons. OF greatest
advantage is the reduction of the num-
bers of the weevils by the destruction
of the plants in the fall. The advan-
tage thus gained is followed up by
bending every effort toward procuring
an early crop the following season.
The changes in the cotton raising
system urgently recommended are:
Early planting with seed from as far
north as possible: thorough cultivation
of the fields, which influences the con-
slant growth, and consequent early
maturing of the crop; planting the
rows as far apart as feasible, and thor
ough thinning out of the plants in the
rows; destruction by plowing up, wind
rowing, and burning of all the cotton
stalks in the fields as soon as the
weevils become so numerous that prac-
tically all the fruit is being punctured.
thus destroying the very great proper
tlon of weevils developing late In the
autumn, and extensive use of fertiliz-
ers, so as to procure earlier crops.

George White, the negro murderer of
Miss Bishop was burned at the stake,
was found guilty tonight on three of
the six specifications presented against

A committee of five was appointed to
fix punishment, and at late hour to-
night this committee, after some de-
liberation, recommended that Rev. Mr..
Ellwood be cautioned to be more care
full in the future. The Presbxtery ac-
cepted the recommendation. and ad-
journed.

Takes 45o Razor strokes to shave.

From the Philadelphia Record.
"Very few men realize the manual
labor entailed in the operation OF shaw
ing, aside from the constant care and
skill that must be exercised said the
handsome barber as he paused to strop
his razor. II didn't realize it myself
until the other day. The man I was
shaving was a stranger to me, and he
seemed a triie nervous. when
got through with him he said to me:
DO you know how many strokes of
the razor you used in shaving me-?
l looked up at the clock. 1t had taken
me nearly twenty minutes. give it
up said. I never thought about it,
Well said he, as he buttoned his col
lar, you used just 459 strokes with the
razor. That's pretty fair for me, be-
cause I'm nervous. l have frequently
been up to near 600. You see, suffer
from insomnia, and the only way 1
can get to sleep at nights is to lie in
bed and count. In that way I have
gotten into the habit of counting the
razor strokes while getting shaved,
and / want to tell you that 459 is a.
pretty good record for me- Say, do
you believe that?"

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
Mother Burned i'm Her Efforts to
Extinguish Flames.


Brunswick, Ca, Feb. 2.-William Ed
gar, the 3-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. w. Tabbott, was burned to death
this morning at the home of the child's
parents, and Mrs. Tabbott was also
painfully burned in a mad effort to
save her sons life.
1t seems that Mrs. Tabbott had been
in the back yard setting fire to a
trash pile. She had box of matches,
and in some way the little fellow Sc
cured them. The mother returned to
the house and called to the little fell
low. to come with her. Thinking he
was directly behind her, Mrs. Tabbott
returned to the house. and little
thought that the boy was in the yard
playing over the fire and with the
matches.
In a few minutes she heard screams
and rushing out of the house found
the boy wrapped in flames. She made
a desperate fight to extinguish the
flames, but the boy was too seriously
burned, and the mother received some
painful, but not serious burns also.
Physicians were summoned and soon
arrived, but it was seen at once that
the child had been fatally burned, and
he died shortly before l o'clock Mr..
Talbot, who is pilot, had just ar
rived in port from weeks trip at
sea, and reached home just a few
minutes before the last breath left
his little son. The parents are heart
broken over the accident.

The Irish Jumper.
From Outing.

The IRISH horse has lost none Of its
excellence. Judging by the sires and
the young gallopers shown at Balls
bridge, it will hold more than it's own
in coming races. There may be an
other Galtee Moore. another Ard Pat
rick among the colts, fit to capture the
blue ribbon of the turf: | know not;
but the Irish horse seems to have a
blanket mortgage on the grand ma
tional steeolechase. You remember,
dare say. that in the last grand ma
tional the Irish-bred chasers were l,
2, when the numbers went up. In
deed. there have been very few years
since, in 1889, the great race was es-
tablished, when Irish horses have not
won. And if that course be not a test,
then horse flesh was never tested. 1t
is almost four and a half miles in
length and bristles with thorn fences,
and, not to speak Of "Beecher's
Brook" the water jump is sixteen feet,

JOE CANS THE WINNER

Detroit, Mich. Feb. 2.-Joe Cans,
the light weight champion, tonight
demonstrated his superiority over Mike
Ward. of Sarnia, Ontario. the light
weight champion of Canada, in so de-
cided a manner that the police stopped
the bout at the expiration of two. and
one half minutes of the tenth round.
Ward was just able to stagger about
the ring, and another of the punches
Cans had been raining on his jaw
would have put him out. Ward was
so badly beaten that it took his sec
onds over an hour to thoroughly revive
him after he was led to his corner.

until the fight was stopped, the cham

with his punches. In the ninth round,
Cans knocked Ward down with a ter

count, and the bell saved him.

Paris, Feb. 2.-The appearance to-

display of her theatrical talent. She

the commission to believe that she
was only an unfortunate woman.
Nine. Humbert made vague insinu-
ations against numerous public Off
cials, saying that later she would pro-
duce documents to support her charges.
In spite of her prison regime, the wit
ness was dressed in a fashionable Co.'S

Women Not Meaner Than Men.

Are women meaner in giving than
men? 1t cannot rightly be urged that
they are. Women, after all, in buying
or in giving, are commonly making
use of money that others have earned.
They have been trustees of other peo-
pies money for 1000 years, and long
use has made them careful of their
trust. OF course, the petty mean
nesses of certain kind of women
have afforded infinite opportunities for
mems jests and contempt; but those
petty meannesses are nothing in conf
parison with the great meannesses Of
really sordid men.
