Caruso, the great singer, 10000 to
sing at two performances.

Rather than go to Texas or other
outside territory for an example, Mr..
Blakeslee takes one of the states own
counties and gives figures to show
what the weevil is capable of accomp-
fishing with his "pernicious activity
Adams county he says, is normally
able to make about $4,000 bales of
cotton. Last year, with the boil Wee
vii plentiful, it made about $4,000
bales, and reliable Adams county men
now predict that the crop this year
will not exceed 5000. The acreage,
however, is only about half normal,
and some of that planted was abandon
ed during the early summer.

MEXICAN FOUND
IN BAD CONDITION

Weeks Before Discovered by the
Salvation Army.

Yesterday afternoon most pitiable
case of poverty and suffering was
brought to light in this city when Cap
tain A. Belcher, of the Salvation Army,
discovered in a hut in the rear Of
Pine street Mexican who has for
the past three weeks been i'll with
fever.
Captain Belcher stated that when
he visited the hut in which the Mexi-
can was confined, most pitiable sit
uation was revealed. The man, in a
weakened and emaciated condition,
burning with fever, was lying upon a
heap of shucks, without cover, and a
tin can of water, which was by his
side. was the only evidence of any pro-
vision having been made for his re-
| freshment.
A physician was promptly notified
of the mans condition, and Captain
Belcher Immediately made arrange
; ments to have bedstead and bee
clothing placed in the hut for the use
of the unfortunate.
The man has been in this countr,
only a short time and cannot speal
the English language. It is said tina
the slight assistance he has had dur
ing his illness was rendered by an
other Mexican. hot tamale vendor

on the subject.
1T is foolish" he says, "to contend
that the boil weevil is a scarecrow,
in the light of the experience of peo-
pie who have had the insect to con-
tend with"
He points out that it is only ques-
tion of few years at most when the
entire state will have the weevl to
battle with, and that it is best to meet
he issue squarely and make the best OF
the situation. This situation need not
be so bad, however, if the farmers will
themselves take hold and do these
things really necessary to minimize
the destructive effects of the inva
sion.

Miss Dorothy Coffin.

A wave of sorrow passed over SkoWhe-
gan Monday afternoon when it became
known that Miss Dorothy Coffin had died
at about 4.30 o'clock. Several weeks ago
she was taken with diphtheria, but last
week her condition had improved to such
an extent that she was considered out of
danger. But other complications set in
and her system had become so weakened
that she was unable to hold her own.
Miss Coffin was Is years old, a pupil in
the High school. She was very popular
alike with students and teachers and her
death will be regretted, not only by them
but by all who knew her. Tho family.
which consisted of her two aunts, the
Misses Francis and jeanette Lord, had
been making their home the past winter

to follow the family, as within few
