Though 1t has been bearing luscious fruit for the sovereigns of England for nearly one hundred and fifty years, the great grapevine near Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, Is still putting forth fresh shoots, and looks in better con dition at the present time than 1t has done for many years. Some of the punches this year weigh as much as four or five pounds each, and the marked improvement in the strength of the vine is probably due to the fact that new glass house, giving more room and light, has been erected over it by the Kings special instructions. The house is 13S feet long and twen- ty-flve feet wide, and contains about 4,50O square feet of glass. The tenn perature of the grapery ds kept at from sixty-flve to seventy degrees. About 900 punches of black Hamburg grapes are now hanging from the roof, but in one year, during the reign of the late Queen Victoria, 2,000 punches were reared. King Edward, however, con- sidered this too many and the number has since never exceeded 1000.

pr. Jeanselme, one of the profes- sors at the Paris Faculty of Medicine, states that the opium habit is much more common among French navy off, f1cers than is generally supposed and he thinks it quite possible that the prevalence of this curse may explain the numerous disasters which have overtaken the French navy of late. pr. Jeanselme sets the number of opium smokers in the colonial infan-

Escaping Gas From Committeemen's
Room Ignites Awning-Fiery Rhet-

So warm did the debate at the meeting
of the schoolhouse committee of the Board
OF Education become last night that the
heat escaping from the open windows on
the third floor Of the City Hall ignited the
awning on a window below, causing a
small blaze and enhancing the excitement
already felt by the committeeman and
architects who had Joined in a wordy bat
tie some time before over the bid for
the new technical high school.

high school and one Of the main COM

been mixed.
Mr.. Perkins said he was absolutely salts

JURY
TOLAYA
PREJUDICE
barrow Makes Appeal to
Haywood jury, Calling
1t Hostile

BOISE, July 24.-Clarence barrow, of
Chicago, began the closing address for
the defense to the jury in the Haywood
case at 9:05. The court room was
crowded to its capacity. In opening
MI. Darrow impressed the chief case
upon the twelve men in the box, and
declared the defendant is in Idaho as
an alien, brought 1900 miles from home
into q community and before a jury
which does not view life or industry. as
the men accuses of the murder of for
mer Governor S~teunenberg have been
taught to look at it.
The defendant in this case and the
men in the jail below declared Mr..
barrow, have been brought to trial in
the home of a man who was killed In
the most cowardly, the most brutal
way that any man was ever sent to
death. Many of you men on this jury
voted for Governor Steunenberg. One
of you had business relations with him,
while in the house of another of you
he made his home for two years. You
are almost the family circle of the
murdered man, and none of you has
ever had any community of interest
with these defendants.
Under these circumstance 1 can but
ask You to lay aside as much of the pas
sion and prejudice as you can and look
at us as II we were one Of you. Give us
the fair and impartial trial you would
give II you had not known the deceased.
You men for more than a year past have
had your minds poisoned by lies In the
local newspaper, but now that you
have sat here for more than two months
and nave heard the testimony you
know you have been fed upon poison and
lies. Lay aside as much as you can OF
his poisonous stuff; try to get your mind
free and be guided only by the evidence.
'~The prosecution In this case knows 1t
cannot convict on the exact evidence, but It
relies upon the strained, forced circum-
stances to get a verdict from you. This de-
PENDANT was taken by force from his home,
brought 1900 miles and set down before a
hostile jury to be tried for his life.
Imagine yourselves, men. taken from
your farms and set Town by a Jury in
Chicago to be tried for your lives, and then
you can in some way feel as this man does
in this case. ] believe that under these
circumstances you will hesitate TO act on
the rotten testimony given in his case to
take away the life Of a fellow citizen.
t'But some Of you will say perhaps that
while there Is not enough here to warrant
sending a man to death there Is perhaps
enough evidence as to crimes having been
committed in the western country to vote
to put Bill Haywood In jsii--to compromise
on a verdict for manslaughter or murder
In the second degree. You have that right,
gentlemen of the jury, but 1 want to say
that whatever else you are. l do not be-
lieve you are towards. And 1 want to say
that whatever else Bill Haywood maybe.

PUPILS
TO CAPTURE
TREE PESTS
Shade Tree Commission Will
Pay Ten Cents a Quart
for Caterpillars.

Carl Bannwort, secretary Of the
to THE EVENING STAR offering boys
and girls ten cents a quart for cater
pillars which are destroying the city's
trees. The plan to enlist the youngsters
in a campaign against the pests was
decided upon as an effective mea of
fighting the pest, the profits the young
sters may get being an incentive to
energetic work.
The letter is as follows:
I'm the campaign Of the Shade Tree
Commission against the caterpillar pest.
the time has arrived to enlist the coopera-
tion OF Newark's boys and girls. The
caterpillars are now entering the cocoon
state. Not only SO. but in some cases the
metamorphosis has become complete and
the moths are already emerging and de-
posting their egg-masses.
Such a iuncture affords an opportunity
to annihllate millions Of these pestiferous
enemies of trees and plants. A single
egg-mass contains from 500 to 800 eggs.
1t is evident that to destroy these egg

in this campaign, the opportunity for
which ought not to be neglected.
Accordingly, as an auxiliary to our reg
ular forces. we seek to enlist a battalion Of
Newark lads and lasses in the city's war
fare against the 'unspeakable' caterpillar.
THE mode Of attack for the young peo-
pie would consist in gathering, iuto CLOSED
vessels, c~aterpillars, cocoons and caterpillar
egg-masses; these captives to be taken tc
