HOW TO FIGHT BEETLES.
storrs Agricultural Experiment Sta
 ton Tells How to Do It.

A large number of inquiries have i been sent in concerning the small,
 black slugs or larvae Of the elm leaf
 beetle. These insects have been
 found in many towns of the state feeding in large numbers on the elm
 trees. They are doing SC muck dam
 age that measures should be taken to destroy them. These next tea
 days will give great opportunity to
 destroy large number of these in sects. While it is true that spraying the elms is difficult and costly, much
 can be done to destroy this pest with in the next week ny those who have infested elms in the vicinity of their homes.
 The larvae, by many called worms,
 are black above with yellow under meath and are more or less covered with fine black hairs. When full
 grown they measure about oDe-nalf
 inch in length. Just a. present these larvae are climbing down the trees
 and getting into the ground to trans form into another stage of their eX- istence. Much as the capterpillar of the moth changes its form and shape after it spins its cocoon, so these larvae change into oval, vel low, inactive forms that can be found near the base of the tree upon whose leaves it nas been feeding. The worms go but one or two inches into the ground. Some of them stay in the grass without going into the ground at all, and most of them are not further than two feet away from the trunk of the tree, so this gives a chances to reach a large number of these insects and destroy them.
 The substances required are gallon of water, two bars of any com mon soap and one gallon and a half of kerosene. The water should be heated to the boiling poinr, the soap being dissolved in the meantime, and while still hot the kerosene should be added and by pouring or with pump, the nozzle of which is direct ed back into the mixture, the while agitated for seven or eight minutes or until it is jelly-like when cold. This can be called an emulsion. Di- lute this emulsion with five times as much water, then, after loosening the soil around the base Of the tree to expose as many of the small vel low insects as possible, either pour or spray this solution upon them, being very careful not to allow any of the solution to touch the trunk or roots, for the same would result in injury to the tree. Do this at an interval of four days, and while this will not kill all the insects that have been on the trees, q few having hid den in the loose park on the side of the tree, it will destroy great num- Der and prevent them from Decom- ing so numerous an other year.
 An elm will stand insect injury for one year, but insect injury of this sort for successive years will result in death to the tree. At least this is all that can be done this year, fo- while further south there is a sec ond brood of these insects, we only have one-occasionally a very par tial second brood. As the above is a simple and effectual remedy 1t is to all those who wish to preserve their elms.-G. II. Lam son, Entomologist.

THE SMITH WILL
Bearing on ProbaiiDg IL Has
 Been Postponed Again

The hearing that was to have
 taken place to-day on the will of the late Truman J. Smith, who was we'll known about town, was postponed 10
 Thursday morning. Attorney Bron- lson, counsel for the proponent, Cliff 1 ford H. Wells, was out of town. So
 was Attorney E. B. Kelley, one of the witnesses. Another of the witness es, c. H. Hart, was sick and still an- other, one Abbott, is south, and the fourth witness, the late Dr Griggs, died some years ago. The will was drawn up by MT Smith himself. The purpose of the hearing was to ascer- tain the circumstances under which
 it was drawn up and the frame of mind MT Smith was in when he drew it. He cut off his children, the i Misses Mary and Edith Smith and
 Mrs Stackman, with the valuable sum of $1" each, and he left d life interest in the estate to his sister,
 Miss Mary Abi Smith or "A Chestnut avenue, and upon her demise it is to
 become the property Of Clifford H. Wells, a son of A. H. Wells.
 Those who knew Mr Smith can easily imagine his reasons for cut ting off his children as he did Some years ago his wife brought an action for divorce and was granted de- cree and his children all testified against him. He provided in his will that if any of the beneiiciaries in- volved in his estate in litigation she would forfeit whatever legacy was left her. Under these circumstances the children have nothing to lose, while they have an estate of about
 $6,000 to gain.

$4,000 American TrOttiEg
Derby to BE Decided

BOSTON, AVG. 19.-Handicappers
Budd Doble. The great reinsman from
California; J.. u. Zimmerman. of Lima,

The race is for one mile and a quar-

DETROIT BASEBALL
MAD OVER TIGERS.

According toSa cre.ary Schumm, of the
Detroit team. the home of the cham
pion Tigers is Baseball mad this year.
Ever since the club got up in the race
after its bad start this spring. the fans
have shown great interest in the
progress Of the hosts Of Jennings.
Though the baseball park has been
greatly improved, and will now seat
about $1,000, the team plays to crowded
stands at home all the time.
MOI is there any let-up i'm the en-
thusiasm when the Tigers take to the
road" MI. Schumm declared. IAN en-
terprising corporation Immediately
rented a theatre and installed an cleo
trio board, showing the plays. The VEN
ture was a huge success, and though it
cost two bits to get in and watch the
progress of the game, such crowds
turned out that the theatre vas found
far too limited. Now they have rented
a summer pavilion that will hold as
many fans as could possibly crowd into
Bennett Park, and the promoters have
a gold mine. Detroit is sure a great
baseball town when they have a win

Plenty of ginger has been injected in
the cycle racing program scheduled for
the Newark Velodrome track tonight,
when both professional n amateur
sprint races will be combined with the
regular motor-paced feature event, and
champions at all styles of racing Will be
seen in action.
A continental flavor will be impaired
TO the motor-paced race, by reason of
the fact that it will be for one hour,
and not limited to any given number
of miles, the same as previous races
held here. Then again, it Will be pos

in the hour, which will make n race

twice as many sensational spirits. An
other innovation is the fact hat there

will be something doing on the track
all the time. and it should prove to be

Vanguard. for whom John 4. Brush
recently paid $11 900 to indianapolis,
will in all probability join the Giants
before tho team leaves this city for
P%ittsburg. Marquard is the property
of the New York National League Gu
after August % and in all likelihood he
will be called in. as the Giant pitch
irg taft is mono too strong as 1t now
shapes up. There is a slight POSSIBLE
ity that MGrquard may be left with
indianapolis yet a while, as he has not
shown anywhere nea the form since
his purchase by New York that char
OF course, if McGraW calls upon him
he will want Maruuard to take his
turn in the box. otherwise the pitcher
would be far better off with Charlie
Carr. Young pitchers will not develop
on the bench. and unless McGraW
thinks his prospect tit. he VIII take no
chances with experimenting.
Garry Hermann, president Of the Ma
tional Commission. that Mar
guard is the property solely of the
Giants. There Is no string attachment
in any way. on Thursday Marquard
belongs &c McGraw and he may do
with him as he sees fit. In the mean
time, should Marquard remain in In
dianapoliS, he will be subject to call at
any time. He'll get a chance if the
Giant pitchers do not hold up.

HERMANN REFUSES TO
GIVE UP ANDY COAKLEY.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.-Wouldn't it
be a foolish move for us to ask waivers
on Andy Coakley, who has done some
excellent work for us, especially as we
are short of pitchers now?" asked Gar
ny Hermann when told of the reports
from New York that a deal wa on to
trade Coakley for Weimer.
"Why, Weimer isn't even eligible to
play with us now and I'd be doing a
fine trick by simply giving Coakley to
the Giants. That's what it would be-
a gift" added Herman. 1--WE haven't
asked for waivers, and don't intend to
trade him. Somebody started that
warn to put a crimp in our team"
