GREAT PROBLEM
IS NOW SOLVED
Parasite That Saves Apple
Proves Ability to Round
Out It's Chain of Life
MATCHES IN CAPTIVITY
Event Demonstrates That
Benefit Developed Will
Be of Permanent Sort

There is joy in the offices of the Hor-
ticultural Commission In this city for
the reason that a great problem of
transcending Importance to apple
growers throughout the Omitted States,
and particularly in California. has
been solved Yesterday a Goblin moth
parasite emerged from the darkness
in which it was Matched in a glass jar
in the Ferry building and so the fact
was finally and conclusively demon
strated that the parasite will multiply
indefinitely in California even under
such adverse circumstances as the en-
vironmert of glass jar in closed
room. In the open air the proposition
is easier than it has been in the Hor-
ticultural Commissioners domain.
Some months ago George Compere
discovered in Southern Europe the
coldin moth parasite and, some time
later, large quantities of the parasite
in the grub stage of existence were
sent by Compere to the Horticultural
Commissioner of California. They were
nursed carefully and np Tess carefully
observed by Messrs. Ehrhorn and
Carnes in the fruit pest quarantine
station in this city. When the grubs
developed orchards in all sections of
the State were outfitteo with colonies
of active parasites, that seemed never
to get tired or to desire to rest while
the sun shone. But still there was a
problem, which was whether the entire
chain of existence of the parasite could
be perfected in this country. The grubs
were imported and so life began
abroad.
With the answer goes the absolute
assurance that now the parasite has
positively come to stay in California
permanently and the great benefits
that it is to confer will go on without
interruption at all seasons and without
regard to temperature, for the parasite
will live wherever apples will ripen.
No greater piece of information gauged
by it's ultimate results to a large in
dustry and to it's relation to the pros
perity of an army of apple growers has
been originated in California in many
years.

SPOUSE HELPS
ENGLISH LORD
OF ADMIRALTY
Lees American Wife
Assists Him in
His Work.
Special Cable to The Call.

LONDON, March 11.-Arthur Lee.
whose recent speech concerning
changes in England's naval policy
stirred up such rumpus in Germany,
shares with Lord Donoughmore the
reputation of being one of the hardest
working and most painstaking MEM
bers of the present Government. He
makes no secret of the fact that he
owes much of his success to his clever
American wife.
When she does not accompany him
to- his office in the morning she in
variably drives round in her smart
motor about noon and remains with
him for the remainder of his office
hours. She conducts all his private
correspondence and works a typewrit-
er with the facility of an expert. She
has lately been adding stenography to
her other qualifications with the view
of rendering further assistance to her
husband.
When she appears at the Admiralty
offices in Whitehall the word is passed
round among the permanent officials
that the governors private secretary"
has arrived This description Is not
literally correct, because the civil lord
has a private secretary allotted to him
by the Government but that she does
much work in her husbands office is
within the knowledge of every clerk
in the department. When she is not at
his side in Whitehall she is generally
at home in Chesterfield Gardens ham
mering away at her typewriter on his
private correspondence, so as to leave
him the utmost freedom for his official
work.
Among the Admiralty men he is
looked upon as most exacting and
methodical chief, and in this respect
he has no equal in the Government
since Joseph Chamberlain left the
Colonial Office. He is, however, fa-
vorite, because his subordinates ac-
knowledge that he does not ask them
to do anything which he is not pre-
pared to do himself.

COURT INJURIES PRIDE
OF TELEPHONE GIRLS
Decided in France That They Cannot
Be Classed as State
Officials

PARIS, March 1.-THE decision OF
the Supreme Court refusing to recog-
nize telephone girls as state officials
Is a great blow to feminine pride. The
Paris service is bad enough at present,
but worse is expected to follow this de-
privation of an official status and the
assimilating of the girls to ordinary
commercial employees. 6.e szs
The public, nevertheless. is jubilant,
as no prosecution for insulting state
servants is possible. In the future. SO
far as the telephone service is concern
ed, 1t is believed that the high stand
ard of efficiency supposed to exist In
America will now be attainable here.

The Ruling Passion.

The ruling passion is often very strong
in death. A senator from Tennessee dis
covered this some time ago. Among his
constituents was certain man who came
to him regularly twice year for the pur-
pose of obtaining pass to Baltimore.
The man and his family had served the
senator when he was. first making his way
up the ladder of politics, and as result
of this he always obliged him, and had,
moreover, a soft place in his heart for the
man. He obtained for him a position in
one of the departments at Washington;
but this did not seem enough, for regu-
larly at the end of each six months he
applied for his ticket to Baltimore. One
day he sickened and was reported to be
dying. The Senator, very much grieved,
Immediately called upon him.
"Joe," be said, leaning over and speak
ing very softly, els there anything l can
do for you?"
The sick man looked up with flash of
recognition, ana instantly replied in a
whisper.

All Invited.

A ludicrous instance of absent-minded-
ness was afforded by the pastor of a
church in small town of Virginia. Not
long ago, one Sunday morning, this min
lister forgot to give the usual announce
5ment of social events for the week. He
uttered some words of his final blessing,
when deacon, in whisper, invited his
attention to the omission. Whereupon
the clergyman ceased praying and said:
"Brethren, I omitted to inform you that
an oyster supper will be served at Brother
Mullins house next Friday evening, the
Goth instant. Ali are invited to come,
bringing their own bowls and spoons" "
Then, continuing his invocation, quite
unconscious of the humor of the situation,
the worthy man added:

your souls! men."-Harper's Weekly.

Florence Farmer Kills Negro Tenant.

FLORENCE, May 29-Alonzo Murphy
colored, was shot and killed by Jim Cole,
a young white farmer, near the city last
night. Murphy lived on Coles planta-
tion and was beating his wife. She went
over to Mr.. Coles residence nearby and
appealed to him for help. Cole went
back with her and told him he had come
to advise him and meant no trouble;
however, he must stop beating his wife
and having so much noise on his planta-
tion. Murphy became enraged and picked
up his gun, which, it is said, was loaded
with buckshot, pointed it at Cole and
fired but Cole knocked it up just as it
fired, the load going over his head. Muir
ply then jumped on Cole to fight him
and when Cole found that Murphy was
getting the best of him he pulled his pis-
tol to shoot him. Murphy tried to take it
from him. Finally Mr.. Cole shot him
twice, one of the bullets passing through
the body, killing him instantly.
Mr.. Cole notified the sheriff at 10 o'clock
last night of the shooting, saying he was
ready to give himself up. Coroner Cooper
summoned jury ofinquest this morning
and went out to hold an inquest. The
verdict was that the deceased came to his
death by gun shot wounds in the hands
of James Cole, in self defense. Murphy's
body was turned over to relatives. No
warrant has been issued yet for Mr.
Coles arrest
Mr.. Cole is prosperous young farmer
of this section and is known to be a
peaceable man. He is we'll thought OF
throughout the county.
