Terrapin Scale in Orchards.

From every State east Of the Mis-
sissippi river, and from Missouri, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Texas and the pro
vince Of Ontario, Canada, the ter
rapin scale, the enemy Of the peach
and other trees, has been reported TO
the Department Of Agriculture. Spe-
cimens Of the pests from all that ter
ritory have been received by the Blu
reau of Entomology. The depart
ment, in a circular has called atten-
ton to the terrapin scale, in conse-
quence Of its wide range Of food,
plants, including both wild and cul-
tivated trees, as dangerous pest,
(which may be controlled but never
eradicated. = The government exper-
iments show that lime sulphur wash,
so effective with the San Jose scale
and the peach leaf curl, is worthless
for the terrapin scale.

Wants Dredging.

Representative Bowers Of Missis-
sippi, who is in Washington to look
after departmental matters affecting
his district, called at the War De-
partment and talked with the army
engineers about the dredge for his
district, the purchase of which was
authorized by the rivers and harbors
bill passed before Congress adjourn
ed. Gen. Mackenzie, chief Of army
engineers, is out of the city, but Mr..
Bowers talked with those next in au-
thority. According to the provisions
of the rivers AID harbors bill, the
Secretary of War may, when he be-
lieves proper, purchase a 3redge for
use in Mississippi waters, such
dredge to cost 100000. Of this sum
Gulfport Is to put up $4,000 and
Pascagoula $4,000.
The engineer officers with whom
Mr.. Bowers talked were favorable to
the plan. They suggested in this
connection the possibility of borrowing
from Capt. McIndoe the dredge Bar
nard, which has been used at South
west Pass, in order that they might
learn by experimenting With the Bar
nard if a dredge of that type would
be suitable for the Mississippi work.
No action, however, will be taken
until the return next week Of Gen.
Mackenzie.

WHEAT PIT BRAINsToRM.
Wheat Passed the Dollar Mark and
Stuck.

Chicago.-Wheat options for July
September and December all fled up
past the dollar mark and stayed there
to the close, with the pit in condi-
ton which is described as BRAIN
storm.
Erstwhile mythical dollar wheat be-
ing reality, prophecy rook on new
enthusiasm and talked of $1.25 for
wheat. 1t was this sort of talk
coupled with reiterations which
brought food of buying orders into
the market today and set new rec
ord for the volume of business done.
News from California was surpris-
ing. Ordinarily that state is good
wheat producer, but brought here or
ders for a half a million bushers oil
real wheat to be delivered at her gran
aries, and productions from that state
were that it would need close to ten
million bushels ere long.

international Question.

Washington international
complications with Germany are ris-
ing on the horizon because Of the
inactivity Of Marshal Collins Of Glen
Echo, Md, whose latest "stunt"

wrath. The marshal had the effront-
cry recently to stop the auto Of
w. Won Rodawitz, second secretary
of the German embassy, who was
scorching through the town. He first
commanded the diplomat to halt, and
when the latter kept on SPEEDING, fired
two revolver shots at the auto tires.
Neither took effect, but the chauffeur
halted.
The atmosphere was filled with
clouds Of German profanity, but Col
Inns, who is Irish, was unmoved. He
insisted on the maximum fine, $50,
and after long expostulation by Ro-
dawitz finally let the the diplomat so
with reprimand.
Mayor Garrett was absent, but APP
proved the action of his subordinate
Won Rodawitz announced that he
would complain to the State De-
partment, but Collins says neither
diplomats nor other folks can break
the law of Glen Eco.

Washington. Two witnesses in the
Brownsville investigation before the
Senate Committee on Military AZ
fairs testified they saw negro soldiers
shooting up the Texas town on the
night Of August Ii. One of these was
Lieut.. Dominguez Of the Brownsville
police, who received a bullet through
the arm and had his horse shot from
under him while trying to warn cit
liens Of the approach Of armed men,
whom he declared positively to be
soldiers from the garrison, and anoth-
er was Policeman Padrone, who de-
scribed busy quarter Of an hour
lodging bullets. He also was posi-
tive the men doing the shooting were
negro soldiers. DR.. Charles Thorn,
dentist, testified that he heard a
group Of men firing at the rear of his
house and shouting commands to each
other. He gave as his judgment that
the voices were those of negroes.
f. A. FL. Sanborn, manager Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
at Brownsville, Tex, testified that he
saw a negro soldier, carrying a gun,
enter the post about the time the fir
ing ceased on the night of August
Ii. On cross-examination, he said the
man was walking deliberately and did
not appear to be hurrying from the
crime to escape detection.
Sanborn has lived in Brownsville
between thirty and forty years. He
said he was awakened from a sound
sleep the night Of the shooting by
hearing heavy firing very near him,
and it appeared to come from between
the telegraph Office and the garrison
although it might have been from be-
yond the wall. He said he did not
think it advisable to open his door,
but after several minutes had elapsed
he lighted lamp in the Office and
then went to his bedroom window. He
saw nothing prior to the passing Of
the soldier down the garrison road,
and his entrance to the post near the
main gate. He gave the Twenty fifth
Regiment rather bad name as to dis
cipline, saying that the men were
loosely controlled and vulgar and bois
ferrous, although he disclaimed any
prejudice against them.

Whisky Ruling.

Attorney General Bonaparte gave
9 hearing to number Of representa-
tives Of leading distilleries and rec
filters on the question Of modifica-
ton Of the Attorney Generals opin-
ion submitted to the President April
10 last relative to the labelling or
branding Of different Of different
kinds Of spirits under the new pure
food act, the administration Of which
is imposed upon the Secretary Of
Agriculture.
Former Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Yerkes and former Con-
gresham Hemphill represented the
interest which were opposed to parts
OF the Attorney Generals ruling
which, it is declared would, in effect,
deprive the makers Of blended whis-
ky Of the benefit Of the word blended
as formerly used upon their labels.
It was represented that fully 90 per
cent OF the whisky sold in the United
States was blended whisky, and that
to deprive them ofthe use Of the
word would involve heavy financial
loss.
1t was insisted by Mr.. Yerkes and
Mr.. Hemphill that the word "blend"
which had come in the public mind
to mean certain kind Of whisky
could not, under the Attorney Gener-
ais opinion, be permitted on labels
except in the case Of blend of two
or more "straight" WHISTLES, and
those, it was contended, could not
properly be called "blend" at ALL
The Attorney General at the close
Of the hearing, said that there were
administrative reasons why the mat
ter Of labelling Whistles should 5e
finally determined as speedily as. pos
sible, and, therefore, he would allow
one week in which persons interested
might file with him additional briefs
or arguments upon the subject. The
Attorney General said that the whole
question was one of such great i'm
portance that he thought test case
ought to be brought in the courts
for final determination Of all the
questions involved.

TER MISSISSIPPI

One of the best edited papers in
the state prints an editorial under the
caption of Be square and do right
1t is well worthy Of reproduction and
careful consideration by the reading
public. Here it is:
"It should be our purpose to be
reasonable in all matters pertaining
20 our earthly career, whether bust
ness, political or social, and we should
not go to extremes about any Of them.
We should always cultivate the GOOD
rather than the bad; we should do
away with prejudice and petty
whims; we should treat our neighbors
cordially and should live in an at
nosphere of peace, sunshine and hap
piness. What's the use Of fretting !?
viii that help your causeq For what
your life is, you make it and we
should make the best of the situa-
ton be it ever so humble. We should
take a philosophical view Of the mat
ter and strive bravely to overcome
the multitudinous things that cross
cur path every day. Remember thai
you are not the only person with trou-
bic ON your shoulders. Lies battle
is full of it and to win the fight you
must first conquer yourself. The best
business men in ouf country today
rs rule, are men who started life
m an humble way. They were fair,
conscientious and honorable, never
teo exacting with their employees,
but were reasonable; spoke encour-
agingly of what they were doing in
the interest Of the firm and in the end
profited by their good work and are
today the leading spirits in the COM
mercial life some of our metropolitan
cities. Remember always as you 60
along, you should prefer the man who
smiles to the man who sneers. The
former is the fellow who gets there
IN nine times In ten."
