IN HONOR OF
NOBLE FRENCHMAN| |
Remains of Major Charles
L'Enfant Transferred to
National Cemetery.
Twas DESIGNER OF CAPITAL
Body Lay In State This Morning In
Rotunda Of Capitol-Memeridl
Service Attended By a
Very Large Crowd.

Washington, D. c., April 28.-Wlth
simple though impressive ceremonies,
the remains of Major Charles LEn-
FAINT were today transferred to the
National Cemetery at Arlington, thus
being accorded the nations greatest
tribute to the memory of the distln-
guished French engineer who under
the authority of General Washington
laid out the plans for the capital city |
of the United States.
For the transfer of the remains of
the designer of the beautiful capital
from an obscure and unmarked grave |
at Green Hill, Md, to more slightly
resting place and the erection OF a
memorial, Congress recently appro-
priated $1,000.
This forenoon, before being remov-
ed to Arlington, the body of L'Enfant
lay in state in the rotunda of the
Capitol, and from 10 TO II o'clock a
memorial service was held. The SER
vice, although short and simple, was
most impressive. The ceremonies
were conducted in the presence of
congregation which included many
from the highest official life of the ma
ton, eminent representatives Of the
| Society of the Cincinnati. of which
Major L'Enfant was a member, and
also representatives of the Daughters
! of the American Revolution, Sons of
the American Revolution, the Column
bia Historical Society, and the Wash
jington Society of Engineers, which
has taken special interest in the
transfer of L'Enfant's remains.
The two chief speakers at the me-
mortal exercises were Vice-President
Sherman and NJ. Jusserand, the am
bassador from France. At the con-
clusion of the services the remains
were taken from the Capitol to Ar
: lington Cemetery under military es-
cort furnished by the War Depart
ment.
AS has been the case with innumer
| able celebrities in all ages and al
lcountries, the services of Major L En-
fant were but poorly appreciated ant
lstill more poorly reconpensed during
his lifetime. The government records
y show that he never received all tha

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
State EntOmOlOgist Says 1t Cannot Be
Exterminated.

The State Department Of Agricul-
ture has just issued chronological
circular No. 26, on Remedies for the
San Jose Scale," by Franklin Sher-
man, Jr. 1t prescribes the best treat
ment for the pest at all different sea-
son of the year.
1t is the opinion of Entomologist
Sherman that the San Jose scale can
not be exterminated. He says:
mo one need expect to textermi-
nate or get rid Of the San Jose scale
when it once becomes firmly estab-
lished in his orchard, no matter what
measures he uses. It is here to stay,
and our growers need to recognize
it as a permanent pest, to be fought
regularly and intelligently. If this
be done there is no difficulty in keep
ing it in good control; but the man
| who starts in with the idea that he
can exterminate it is apt to merely
deceive himself. We need to look al
this thing in the light of common
sense experience. We don't expect tt
'exterminate' potato beetles, but the
means of control are such that~no po
| tato grower need lose crop from
them. We do not expect to 'extermi
nate the flies in our houses, but tn
means of control enable us to reduc
their number and control them. N
insect pest which has so many mean
: of spread has ever been absolutely ex
terminated when once thoroughly es
tablished. 1t is matter Of contro
not of extermination.'
