PINK BOI/L WOKM IS COMING. Govern men t Issue* Warning-Said to lie Moro Disastrous Than Weevil. Washington, Nov. 10.-The pink boll worm, most destructive cotton pest known, has appeared lor the first time in North America. The Depart ment ol' Agriculture announces that the worms have been discovered in Northen; Mexico, where their pres ence, the department says ii. an ofU dal announcement, "constitutes one of the greatest menaces which has come to the American industry in her history." Importation from Mexico | ol' cotton seed, cotton seed hulls and j seed cotton is prohibited under uni order just issues. Officials Of the department were unable to explain how the pink boll worm happened to he imported to North America, lt is presumed, how ever, that the pest came in seed im ported to Mexico from abroad. Discovery of the worm was an nounced in the following statement: "The pink boll worm, the most de structive of known pests of cotton, has been discovered in the Laguna district, Coahuila, Mexico, within 100 miles of the Texas border. Amendments to quarantine orders and regulations, effective immediate ly, have been promulgated by the Sec retary of 'Agriculture, prohibiting the importation into the United States of cotton seed, cotton seed hulls and seed cotton from the terri tory in Mexico which is Infected. "The pink boll worm has not been known to exist on the North Ameri can continent heretofore. The pest is prevalent in practically all other cotton-producing regions 6f the world, and in all sections where it has become established has caused widespread destruction. Its estab lishment in Northern Mexico consti tutes one of the greatest menaces which has come to the 'American cot ton-growing industry in its history. "Every possible precaution will be taken to prevent the worms from get ting across the border. All cotton in terests are warned of the danger which threatens the Industry and are urged to give the utmost assistance to the Federal authorities in prevent ing any movement in violation of these rules governing movement of cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, seed cotton or cotton lint from Mexico into the United States."

THIRTY OH FORTY KILLED When Street Cor Plunges Through <)|H'ii Drawbridge in Boston. Moi ton, Nov. 7.--The lives of from 30 to IO persons were lost to-n'ght when ;i crowded passenger ear of the Hosten elevated street railway plung ed through an open drawbridge in to Fort Point channel, just outside the South station terminal. Twelve persons were rescued from the waler hy fire boats and tugs. One man, T. J. Hannon, died after being brought lo shore. Two bodies were found with grappling irons, but the recovery of other bodies was delayed, as. it was believed, they were pinned in the int- which rested on the bot tom of the channel, 36 feet deep. Herald Walsh, motorman of the car, who jumped before it went over the edge ol' the draw, asserted that the accident was due to the fact that there was no light on the gales pro tecting the opening, ile and George McKeeon, the conductor, who also leaped and so saved his life, were ar rested on technical charges of man slaughter. The conductor was insen sible and the police were unable to learn exactly the number of his pas sengers. Some of the rescued people esti mated the number of passengers at upward of fifty. J. H. White, pub licity agent of the Boston elevated railroad, in a statement Issued soon after the accident, said his informa tion agreed with that of the police that about 4 0 jtersons were unac counted for. Were Returning Home. Most of the passengers were em ployees of the "Western Electric Com pany's factory in South Boston and were returning to their homes from work. Many women and children were included in the number. The car was of the closed type with a narrow door at each end, so that escape was impossible except for those who hap pened to be standing on the platform. The first assistant draw tender, T. J. Shea, who was in charge of the bridge, disputed the statement of the motorman that there was no light at the draw. Shea said the usual red signal lights were on the gates. He was not sure, he said, whether the arc lamp on the bridge was lighted. The draw tender said that he re ceived a signal about 5.26 p. m. from the tow boat William G.

POWDER Absolutely Pure Made from Cream ofTartar NO ALUM-NO PHOSPHATE THE OM) SCHOOL SLATE AGAIN ? Shortage of Paper May Hiing it Kuek luto Public Favor, ( Brooklyn Euglo.) The story that in the shortage of paper there is hope for the old school slate seems too good to be true. Yet it is perhaps true that the board of superintendents has discussed this possibility, and it certainly is true that supplying the schools with paper is exceedingly difficult. Middle-aged men who never thought of school without a slate for doing sums on were shocked at the waste when1 "educators" brought about the abolition of the slate. Pa per is used np fast, fast enough to suit any paper trust on earth. The slate would go on forever if you didn't take a notion to fling it at. teacher's head, and unhappily break lt on her desk instead. "'Educators" said the slate was noisy, dirty, demoralizing. They inti mated that slate and discipline were compatible if you had plenty of cor poral punishment, and not otherwise. They worried when Jennie Jones drew a caricature picture and all who could see giggled, and a swift stroke I of the sleeve made Jennie's conviction impossible. As a matter of fact, the slate required a real teacher to deal w?f' ?ts poesibllitl i and real i< . err are scarce. For ourselves, wo take '.Iv: middle^ age or mod h . '?) view, The use of pa pei always ha's boori n ?vust?-, The flato waa Just ?16 good, except for t ?. e paper manufacturers. The litter in volved in using paper is worse than the uncleaned slate, more trouble for some one to put things right. And when it comes to rival trust interests the slate rmarries are to be consider ed. They have been hard hit in seve ral different ways of late years. Pat en i roofing has almost banished slate roofs. Artificial stone has nearly wiped out the sale of sidewalk pav ing. The "educators" have destroyed in tlu' cities the demand for school slates. Hence the (marries up Gran ville way and elsewhere are in a state of depression. Revival of the old school slate will help them. The owners Of these (marries aro as good Americans as the owners of the paper combinations, though they have not been quite so cleverly commended to the attention of the "educators.'
