i. ESTEEM
SHOWN
Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt Recipient Of
Valuable Gift

. WASHINGTON. Mar. "A string OF
Hirty-five diamonds and an illumined
and embossed friendship book was pre-
scented last night to Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt as token of the esteem OF
thirty-eight OF her friends, prominent
society women of Washington. The
two gifts were taken to the White
house by Miss May Williams and Mrs.
Robert Hit, wife of Congressman
Hit of Pennsylvania, members of the
committee which purchased them.
They were not presented to Mrs. Roos-
evelt in person, but were handed to an
attendant at the White house door,
The names of other donors have not
been made public.
While the cost of the string of dia
monds is unknown, some estimate OF
its value may be made from the knowl-
edg that the contributions ranged over
one hundreds dollars from each OF
the thirty-eight donors.

WOMEN oRunkAaos paosLem

Nothing can be done with 4 female
diDsomaniac. aside from sending her
to the penal Institutions. except to
commit her to an insane hospits,. and
In the year just closed thirty eight
were thus committed In this state,
Including thirteen women who we're
sent to the western Institution alone.
In the last five years the number Of
inebriate women committed to the In
sane hospitals has reached 135. This
is a bad arrangement Such sur
roundings are not calculated to be
most helpful TO these unfortunates.
The extent OF this among women
may be CLEANED from the 1853 COM
mittments to jails and houses OF cor
rection last year, besides eighteen
who were sent to the reformatory
prison at Sherborn and 229 to tho
state farm; and these figures repre-
sent approximately annual averages.
If this toal of 1869 women be classi-
fled on an age basis. II appears that
125 were under 25 years. 2s2 more
were under 30. while 744 more had

ORCHARD INSPECTOR.

commissioners this afternoon. The
statute provides that on petition OF
twenty-five fruit growers of the coun.

orchard Inspector. The duties OF such
official shall be to inspect all trees
that are shipped In to the county. and
see that they are free from all insect
pests and plant diseases; also to In
spect orchards to see that same ara
kept free from diseased conditions.
This county is, as far as known, free
from both insect pests and plant dis.
eases which have cost orchardists in
other parts OF the state thousands of
dollars. Besides the pests and dis
eases that may be gotten rid of by
spraying. washing. and various meth
ods. there are some diseases that at.
tack the sap wood and no amount OF
spraying or washes will do any good.
The disease spores break out through
the bark and the disease is often car.
ried TO other trees by the bees. Pear
blight alone has proved terrible
pest and henyy loss to fruit grow.

form the marriage ceremony. as the
law stated that this rite was vested
only In ministers Of the Gospel. judges
Of the court OF record and Justices of
