PROTECTING SHADE TREES.
Work of Commissions Appointed for
That Purpose.

The cities in New Jersey and Penn
sylcania are by statute now enabled to
appoint shade tree commissions to take
care Of the shade trees on their streets.
They can set out new trees and assess
the cost on the property benefited.
They trim trees, protect them from in
jury. clean out decayed trunks and fill
the holes with cement and wage war
against the insect pests. Municipal
Engineering describes the methods of
work Of the shade tree commission of
East, Orange. N. j.. and shows what
can be done.
In the trimming of trees great care
Is taken to cut OF all limbs close to
and even with the trunk. All scars are
painted with a coat Of thick coal tar.
All trees on a street are pruned, to a
uniform height, and as far as possible
that height is made ten feet. to clear
all street lights.
The campaign against the insects in
Testing shade trees forms one Of the
chief tasks of the commission. The
control Of the injurious insects mot
only preserves the foliage Of the trees
for the season. but maintains their
health ard vitality. What can be done
by persistent work in this line Is
shown by the results with the woolly
maple scale (Pseudococcus aceris),
which attacks the sugar maple. Other
pests are the tussock moths. attacking
the American elm and liHd:". :,:'
white maple and the horse chestnut;
the cotton maple scale, attacking the
white maple; the elm leaf beetle. the
spring elm caterpillar. the bagworm
and the fall webwerm. The idea con-
stanrly' borne in mind Is to destroy the
insects In as early a stage as possible,
to minimize both the amount Of work
required in treatment and the injury
done to the trees.

SURPRISED A BURGLAR
Who Was Trying to Open Money
Drawer in Safe.

An attempt was made shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock Friday night to rob
the safe in the store of Ayers G Will
liams, hay and grain dealers, in this
city, and but for the timely appear
ance upon the scene of one of the
firm, the burglar would have been
successful and probably made pref
ty good haul AS it is, the negro, to
whom everything points as the gull
ty party, is behind the bars and will
be tried at the approaching term Of
Court.
The scene of the attempted robbery
is on Broughton street, in very
thickly settled part of the business
section. The store was closed at the
usual time and the proprietors went
to supper. Mr.. Williams, who looks
after the Office work, had made a
practice of returning to the store af-
ter supper and posting the books,
which were left on the desk, the safe
also remaining open until the day 5
work was finished.
Mr.. Williams returned about nine
o'clock and as he entered the door h.
Immediately turned on the electric
lights. Glancing in the direction of
the office, he discovered the shadow
of man, which showed that some
one was stopping before the safe. The
intruder, realizing that his presence
was discovered, began looking for an
avenue of escape, and settled on the
rear door, before reaching which
however, it was necessary for him to
dodge several missiles from Mr.. Will
liam's hand, which failed to reach
their mark.
The negro had pulled his hat over
his face, making it impossible for
Mr.. Williams to recognize him, ex-
cept by his clothing. The police were
notified at once and the tracks lead
ing from the store were.traced to the
home of Clay Shuler, a negro well
known around here, and whom Mr.
williams is satisfied is the party
who entered the store. Shuler had
been employed by this firm until
about two weeks ago, when he YVES
discharged for stealing. Up t. TINS
time he had bourne very good repu-
tation. He was familiar with the
location and with the manner IN
which the affairs of the business are
conducted, and there seems to be
little doubt of his guilt.

President r. J. Cotes. of the Ark
wright Mills Saturday afternoon

day in the chamber of commerce it

cut down his cotton acreage.
