THE Oldest WOMAN
in The WORLD IS dead
Special to The NeDs.

Berlin, Aug. 5-The claim of Frau
Dutkiewitz of Posen, born on Febru-
airy 81, 1895, to be the oldest woman
in the world is now contested by Mrs.
Bahia Vaslika, who was born in May
1884, in the little village of Bavelsko,
where she lived ever since. The rec
ord of her birth is preserved in a
neighboring monastery of Orthodox
Greek faith.
She is the daughter of a peasant
and has worked herself as a peasant
up till a comparatively recent date.
For more than 100 years she regularly
worked in the fields, according to the
custom of her country, where women
are employed in all sorts of manual
labor.
The events of her life up to the
time when she attained the age of 80
are far more distinctly impressed
on her mind than the happenings of
the last forty-six years.
Her son, Todor, following the family
tradition, has also worked in the
fields as a peasant nearly all his life,
but he has also taken part in various
wars and rebellions in the Balkan
peninsula. He is not quite so fresh
and vigorous as his mother, although
he is still capable of doing a good
days work, and enjoying such small
luxuries as a pipe and the strong spir-
it's drunk by the Bulgarian populace.
The oldest woman in the world is
said to enjoy fairly good eyesight and
good hearing, and she is able to walk
without support. She lives on a pen
sion paid to her by many of her des
cendants, who number more than 100

MAY have REMEDY
FOR BOIL WEEVIL
Kinds County Farmer Thinks He Has
Discovered Means to get Rid of
The Little Pest.

Special to The Ne10S.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 15.-Mr. John
Neal a farmer living near Clinton,
Kinds county, and about eleven miles
west of Jackson, is believed to have
discovered a remedy for the boil Vice.
vii. Mr.. Neal has been experimenting
with it since the weevil made its ap-
pearance in this state, and has never
been bothered by the pest.
While his neighbors will lose heav-
lily through the ravages of the weevil
this year, Mr. Meals cotton is free
from the pest Cotton fields all around
him are infected, but he has not lost
any cotton through the pest, and those
who have seen his cotton fields, say
they are among the finest in the state,

Mr. Neal will not divulge his secret,
though the United States Department

except Mr.. and Mrs. Neal, and all eff
forts to buy the secret have been futile
thus far.
A syndicate of Jackson capitalists
have been trying for some time to in
terest Mr.. Neal in stock company to
manufacture the stuff, whatever it is
but they have been unable to do sc
thus far. 1t is his desire to keep the
formula secret, and for that reason he
refused to become interested in the
company.
1t is believed ne would make more
money out of his secret by putting il
on the market than by raising Gotten
as the national government would pay
him $4,000 for the secret, while ht
could, at the same time, place it OF
the market.
Negotiations are still in progress!
with Mr.. Neal, and it is possible
deal may be made with him for th'
formula.

Heyburn's Great Service.

The New York Sun Is right In say
Ing that. Senator Hepburn. Of Idaho

Senate on Monday vixen he opposed
the Joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary OF War to lend tents to
Confederate veterans on the occasion
Of their annual reunion at Mobile in
April. He was obsessed." says The
Sun with the Idea that ne was doins
n great public service by his demon
stration against the loan of tents to
the veterans In gray--and ne was. an
inestimable service. For he evoked
the silent protest of Senators, some
OF whom had fought on the Unior
side. that was unseemly, ungener.

gest that the Confederate veterans
who will dwell In the tents durinl

evening In honor Of the departed Ma

Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather q very good and appre-
ciative congregation assembled and
were interested during the entire SER
vices. and listening to the sweet solos
rendered by Mr.. Henry Hardy. Rab-
bi n. Sessler. the pastor of the, con-
gregation, delivered In his usual earn
est and eloquent way. the memorial
sermon upon the subject: "How to
Remember the Dead" Reading from
Samuel End. verse %: "The beloved
and the dear in life. are even in their
death not devided." The doctor said.
II shall simply dwell upon the ques-
ton. What Marion Noise was to Tenn
pie Sinai Congregation, and what a
great loss the Congregation sustained
In him who 30 constantly guarded the
interest and welfare of the congrega-
ton. In order to honor the memory
OF the departed Marion Noise 1t Is in
cumbent upon this congregation for
some one to raise his voice saying, Il
shall henceforth lead. and seek to
emulate his great example-his
nobleness Of character. his purity of
thought. his lofty aspirations, his hon.
esty Of purpose. his love of God and
humanity The one who will carry
out these examples. the very one will
helpto perpetuate the name Of Marion
Noise to Temple Sinai everlastingly."
In conclusion the doctor prayed for
his future bliss and happiness. and
reminded the mourners and all pres
ent to strictly identify themselves
with the goodness. kindness and no.
blenes: which he left behind him and
which will also help to remember the
departed Marion Noise.

Senator GraydOn, who made the
opening argument in the case. was
the last speaker last night. Senator
Graydon said he would reply to Sem

ammunition-the report of the State
board Of health and the State Hosni-

The senator read from this report
In many places and running fire of
questions was kept up by other sem
ators. who were also provided with
such reports. Saying that the insane
asylum had been awarded thousands
OF dollars more than they asked for
during the last 10 years, the senator
from Abbeville again sternly critici-
zed the management Of the insane
asylum.
