At Richmond, Ya., for beaktog to death bar alekly little boy, a child barely atx yean old, a notlier who had bean tenderly reared ta a loxurl one home, and who oomee of one of the beet famlllel of Yirgtola and New York, has been condemned to epend fire yean In the penitentiary. When the verdict waa rendered the Public Proaeoutor tainted and fell to the floor; be had itrlven for and expected v the death penalty. :—Beside the accused woman daring the progreed of the trial sat a man who has more than a national repute tlon for wtae, self denying and affec tionate care of unfortunate children —Dr. Wianer R. Townsend, of the Orthopedic Hospital In Hew York City. He Is the brother of the woman who . beat her own unfortunate child to death, Mrs. Estelle Townsend Smith She appeared in court a physical wreck and doubtless the great surgeon whose whole professional career had marked a disposition so completely the reverse of that manifested by his sister, at tributed her cruel acts to a physical breakdown that bad affected her mind. Hot so the witnesses for the pro seeution, however—those motherly neighbors who had beard the child’s screams, who had seen him pushed into ice cold water In February, seen his naked dead body lying on the floor of bis mother’s house covered with bruises. The facie brought out in the trial made up a tale of a mother’s cruelty to an ailing child that is almost in credible. This mother, always veiled except when obliged to bare her face for Identification, listened for the most part with stoical Immobility. The Ooroner, an artist of no ability, Illustrated the wounds and bruises upon the dead child’s body by xaeans of startlingly lifelike, life sited colored portraits. It was a ghastly and pathetic exhibit that caused murmurs of horror all through the court room—but the mother never stirred nor even bowed her head. AHASTLY AND PSTHSTIC KXBIBIT8 Her life since the birth of the boy had been In surroundings very differ ent from those of her girlhood. She had run away from her home In Hew York to marry a poor man, and he had steadily grown mbs prosperous. As indicated by the defence, she had be come morbid over an aliment of her little son, which he constantly aggra vated by his own acts, and on account of .which the mothers of otiter chil dren would not allow them to associate with him. These acts of the child his mother sought to correct by pun ishment instead of through the offices of a competent physician—and im possible task; and so finally she beat him to death. When the child’s death was discov ered the husband was away' from home. Although he is under arrest It does not yet appear that be shared in the acts of cruelty that ended in mur der. Tlie lamentable story is best told in the testimony of witnesses who were first on the scene of the crime. Mrs. Lucy Byrnes, a motherly appearing, middle-aged woman, a near neighbor, told of her visit to the Smith home on the evening of the day of the boy’s death. r ‘I was upstairs undressing one of my grand children when I heard that some one was dying at the Smith house. ’'Itrs. Orostiok and I went to the house and knocked at the door. Mjrs. Smith opened It and we walked in. She said nothing to us, but turned and went to the body of the child, whipped It that night Mrs. Oroatick | then asked what was all the dlsturb- aboot In the house that monfog and Mrs. Smith replied that there had ten no disturbance.” "Did she say what she whipped the Child with?” V "Yes; a rases strop." "was there any rasor strop near the body?” “Ho." , . "Did you see any strop that night?" "Ho; but she got It tor the officer when she went Into the bask room. I did not see it aO." "The officer asked for It" "Yes.” "Were there any other neighbors there that night?" "Yes, butehe shut the door In their She didn’t want them In the bouse and I guess she didn’t want us either.’’ "Did Mrs. Smith say anything about not wanting the neighbors see the body?’’ "She didn’t want them to see It, and kept saying, ‘Cover It up.'" "When was that?’’ "After the ooroner had gone to get his Jury.” "What was the reason she gave for beating the child?” "Because It was disobedient.’’ "Did she say why the child \ naked?” "She said It had been undressed for bed and lad been whipped.” "You say she showed no sympa- ^‘She did not, she didn’t seem at all sory to me.” Mrs. Turner, who readily admitted her friendship for Mrs. Smith and the intimacy which existed between the two families, gave very damaging testimony. "Did you ever see Mrs. Smith hit little Rilph with a mallet?” "Yes, when she was teaching him and he could uot remember. ” "How hard did she hit him?” "With all her strength.” CAUSES CHEAT LOSS. wuxm wain*.

"I was on my back porch and I saw her oome out and push him bead firs into a tub of water. It was very cold and he was In his HtUe night shirt. He was all trembling. He rushed out of bis beck door as though some one wia behind him. He was ‘sniffing’ ss though he wanted to cry and was afraid.” ‘ Wbat kind of a tab was It?” "A large sine tub—under a spout to catch rain watar.” "Were you called on the night of Ralph’s death? ’ ‘Yes; she called me twice. S asked me to oome. 1 asked her wbat was the matter. She said Ralph a dead. I said I was toonsrvoiu, but I would get word to the neighbors and send some one to her.

She pick ed it up and threw it on the eofa as if it were a dog, She wanted to know if is was dead. The body was still warm. Mrs. Orostlck, told her it was dead, after we had felt the heart. Thera were three bruises over the little heart and brulsee all over the little bowela. The back was brown from beatings. There was a cut over tbe eye and the back of the head was blsedlng from another. One of its little fingers looked as if it bad been (tracked with something. The mother didn’t show any sympathy.

When, finally, the to the Jury, both the public prosecutor and the chief attorney for the defence were hysterical from nervous strain. The prlsooef looked as though in dan ger of going to pieces suddenly. Sbe bad not been called upon to testify.

According to a careful estimate made In tbe year book Just published by tha department of agriculture, a loss of 1700,000,000 Is coossloned to American farmers every year by In- aeota. Tbe lomes on all tbe plant pro ducts of the doll, both In their grow ing aad In tbelr storsd states, exceed the entire expenditure of the national government, including the pensloh roll and the maintenance of tbe army aad *•» local high winds, but no serious navy. Enormous as Is tbs total value of tbe farm products In Ibis country, It would be very muoh greater were It not for tbe devastating workof tbeln jorious Insects. Tba lemenlng or pre vention of this loss Is tbe problem the entomologlsti of the agricultural de partment are attempting to solve. A considerable Item of loss properly chargeable to insects Is the annual ex- dendltnre devoted to their control. This amounts to a considerable per oentage of the value of tbe crop in the case of orchard fruits, truck crop, and such field erope as cotton and to- baooo. In the oaitl of cereals, protec tion is chiefly secured by. farm prac tices, such as rotation of crops, vari ations in the time of planting, etc. It is shown that >8,000,000 Is expanded for spraying apple trees, allowing a cost of only five cents per tree. The estimate then goes on to speak of the actual damage to tbe erope every year. Toe annual farm value of tbe corn crop has exceeded 11,000,000,- 000, but the amount would be consid erably greater were it not for Insect pests. The work of several of these Is obscure and many farmers are entire ly Ignorant of the existence even of jome of the worst enemies of this crop. Among the latter Is the corn root worm, which feeds on the roots of young oom and causes an annual damage of 180,000,000. The next most important insect pest of this cereal is the boll or ear worm, which attacks from 90 to 100 per cent of the earn of sweet corn throughout the country, and In the South practically an equal percentage of the ears of field corn, as shown by tctusT COunti In tbe field. Tbe corn crop of 1904 was damaged by It At lAXlt 080,000,000. The de predations of tbe chinch bug are also important, thongb Its injury la more marked where corn la grown In the neighborhood of wheat for In such oases tbe migration of the bug from wheat to corn may result In tbe total destruction of considerable areas of corn. Tbe lorn from the chinch bug will In a year foot np to 820,000,000 more. With minor insects the total loss to the oom crop every year Is $80,- 000,000. Wheat suffers most from Insect de predations. The Hemlan fly, the otilnoh bug, sod the gialn plant louse work an annual havoc amounting to 6 per oent. of the crop. The Hessian fly la distinctly a wheat pest, Inflicting a damage lo Indiana and Illinois alone last year of 184,000,000. Twentr per oent. of the planted area of Michigan abandoned on aoauut of it, and tbe lose In tbe United States during a tingle season has been estimated at 1100,000.000. Last year the kxs was •40,000,000. From all pasts, tba wheat crop suffers an annual damage of 8100,000,000. \ . The priDolpal insect depredations on ootton are tbe eotton boll weevil, v tbe boll worm and the leaf worm. To gether tbey oast the planters of tbe South 140,000,000 every year. The or chard and small fruits suffer heavily from insect pests, there being sever al hundred which feed on the apple, for instance. The Important pests are the woolly aphla, injuring the roots, the truck and limb borers, the leae worms, canker worms and tent cater pillars and tbe various poets, including tbe San Jose scale. Injuring tbe fruit are tbe oodilng moth, tbe ouroullo and tbe apple maggot. By aU of them the productiveness of the fruit crop Is less ened 17 per cent, a year. The total to apples alone reaches an aver age of S6 per oent. every year. The large. oousts and other insects, inflict s damage of 810,000,000. Another 8100,- 000,000 is lost through 1 meets In Stor ed products. Domestic or household □sect pests do muoh damage, such as mosquitoes, flies, moths, roaches and ants. The white ant in Washington alone causes losses of thousands of dollars yearly, and Is muoh more de structive in southern districts. The total loss from tbeae household pests every year amounts to 850,000,000. And tben there is tbe lose to commu nities by diseases Inflicted by Insects, such as malaria and yellow fever, caused by mosquitoes; typhoid fever, caused by house files, according to Dr. Howard, and Texas fever. It Is considered that the total of 1700,000,- IKK) loss Is a low estimate. Excursion Boat Riot.

In the funeral of Anotonla Allano, an Italian woman who died In Denver reeently, waa enacted the last chapter of a romance as remarkable as It was startling. The woman, it came out at the funeral, was a countess of the old Borgia line, which has given Italy popca and princes. Sbe deserted her palace, married her gardener, who bad fallen In love with her, and fled to America to live in peace and pover ty with the peasant for love’s sake. Her elopement came is the result of an effort of ber family to marry her to a rich merchant Anotonla Borgia was boro in Hap les and educated in a Neapolitan eon vent Her family had long lost tbe wealth for which It was famous In mediaeval times. Poverty had forced them to abandon their ancestral borne in Naples and move to a small town on tbe outeklrte, but tbey never forgot their noble blood and refused to associate with tbe peasants about them. When Anotonla was sixteen a well-to-do merchant In Naples made an offer for her hand and was at onoe accepted by her family. Anotonla had no voice In the matter. She, however, bad already plighted In tbe swamps. 4 Steele’s wife and daughter diaap peared in May, 1882;and he circulated a report that tbev were dissatisfied with their home aWGrape Island and had returned to Yorkshire, England. In January of the same rear a traveler who stayed at Steele’s home was never again seen, and settlers In that sect loo became suspicious of Steele’s actions from the remark of Harley Johnson, a hunter and trapper, who stated that on tbe night John Barlngton arrived at Steele’s home he was passing by at midnight and saw two men coming down the outride stairway oarrying between them a heavy bundle. He also beard moans, but supposed tbey came from a deer probably killed by these men. A vigilance commit tee went to Steele's home and demand ed admission. They were refused Tbey battered down tbe door, pUeed a rope around Sieele’s neck and threatened to hang him If be did not reveal wbat he knew of the disappear ance of Barlngton and of hls wife and daughter. Undaunted. Steele told tbe committee to proceed with their hanging. A vigorous search was In stituted by the mob around tbe prem hes, but nothing Incriminating was found. Next day Steele disappeared. Later on bis ludlana property was soldTuh- der mortgage foiedosure. Thirty years if ter SteeleMt, Indiana he died In Canon City, Ntv Hls Indiana house remained untenaoted. lie lated farmers said it was bauated One week ago the house waa torn down, and In removing the atone cellar wall a subterranean cave waa found containing five crumbling skulls cf human beings. Two of the skulls were those of the female sex. In a decayed coat waa found an under- clpherable envelope with the word, written and blurred, “Bringto,” whlob may have belonged to John Barlngton. Steele murdered bis wife and daugh ter to conceal his crimes, and who the two other men were remains a mystery. - sf ? WILL INTEREST MiNY. DR J.
