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.”

and the chief attorney for the defence

of witness who declared that Mrs.
Smith had been rendered frantic by
ber failures to correct her child’s die

sffloted with an ailment whioh yen

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.

Refusing Wealth, A Oouoteas Fled
With a Peasant Gardener.
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

committee to proceed with their
hanging. A vigorous search was In
stituted by the mob around tbe prem
