THE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Cireviation ef any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. Now is the time to do some extra fine work in fighting the tree worms. Their nests are an eyesore in nearly every street, and the free ap- plication of the knife and fire-brand would work «glorious reform. In the summers of 1836 and 1987. when they made themselves so serious @ pest, they appeared very early in the seaso: and whatever effort was made to fight them labored ander the disadvantage that they Were liable to spring up in some new quarter immediately afterward. Lest sum- mer, owing to the wet weather of the first part, they did not begin to show them- selves till after the middle of July: and this year's storm record has deferred their coming till a still later date. Of course, the nearer to cold weather their advent, the shorter their period of feeding and multiplication. Here we have a key to the possibility of a final riddance: it is necessary ouly to have a succession of rainy summers, each a little worse than its predecessor, to force the worms’ advent farther aud farther down intothe fall, and bye and bye get rid of them altogether. Mean- while, however, as we cannot control the seasons, and as we still have the nuisance with us, the only thing to be done is to rely upon our own exertions and to enter immediately upon a war of extermination against the cater- pillars that are within reach, —_—. Champions of the English sparrow bird are invited to inspect the rows of ash trees along L street northwest, and then say what they think of that noisy nuisance as a worm destroyer. A very effective consumer of foliage has been holding high carnival in that locality for a long time, while that dirty little vagabond, that came into this country under false pretences and exists through a misconception of his real nature, is dividing his time between quarreling with his mates, driving other birds away, and acting as street scavenger in asmall way. The fact is, it is about time that measures were taken to rid the country of this offensive and expensive pest. It is evident that the habits and tastes of the sparrow in no wise affect the existence or operations of the leaf-destroying vermin, which seem to be plenty or scarce at different times according to meteorological conditions not yet thoroughly understood. But even if he did in part the work he was expected to perform when imported into this country, ge he does to grain and fruit crops far more than outweighs any good he could ac- complish in that respect, Instead of being pro- 'y ordinance, as he is in some places, nents should be held out for his destruc- And no time should be lost in taking this step either. Unless increase is prevented by some such means the whole country will soon be so thoroughly occupied that his eradication or even relief from his ravages will be impos- sible. a The beneficent influence of Peter Cooper's institution, bearing his name, in New York, has not been confined to the furnishing of an education to multitudes of young men and women who could not otherwise have got it, but bas extended to the multiplication of such establishmeuts in various other cities. Phila deiphia is now to have one, probably ona scale even larger than that of the Cooper Institute. It will be the offering of Mr. A. J. Drexel, who will make the endowment between one and two million dollars, Accommodations for at least ® thousand female students by day and a thou- sand male students by night will be provided, and the building wili be located so centrally ag to be within easy reach of the people it is de- signed to benefit. The present scope of the undertaking is a growth out of the much more Kimited idea originally entertained—of an in- dustrial school for 200 girls alone, with a free boarding-house attached, to be established at Wayne, Pa., sbout fourteen miles out of the city. The obvious disadvantage of the distance necessary to travel every day, and the dislike many high-spirited young women would feel for the charitable feature of free board, combined to cause a series of changes of plan, resulting finally in this enlarged and improved design. It is intended that every branch of in- dustry shall be taught, so that every young man and woman admitted to the classes shall be fitted to go forth and earn a livelihood by skilled labor, instead of depending wholly on the odds and ends of employment which chance throws in the way of the untrained worker. It isa noble gift, well worthy of the donor, and of the city which is to receive it. And now, where is Washington's Drexel? ———— Washington as a convention city travels main 'y on its good looks and its notable gou- eral advantages, It is not a wealthy commer- cial city with a surplus to invest at a public suction of conventions, A reasonable sum, however, toward the expenses of such gather- ings can always be collected, the main contribu- tions coming of course from that part of the population which is particularly interested in the special event, and that part which profits directly by the gathering of crowds of people in the It is to be hoped that the effort to secure the meeting at the capital of the next sunual encampment of the G.A.R. may receive the necessary financial backing and be success- fal, oo Typhoid fever, fortucately in a light form is making headway in Boston. There is no general alarm felt about it. The germs, which usually wait for the damp weather of Sep- tember to rouse them to activity, have merely taken an earlier start this year, by reason of the humidity in the atmosphere, $+ Baltimore is thoroughly awake and bustling with her preparations for the great Maryland exhibition to be held there next mouth. It will undoubtedly be a fine show, for when our neighbor city lays herself out to do anything of the sort she makes a success of it. Balti- more retains her old amd honorable position as ssoutheru commercial metropolis, and a pil- grimage to her big fair cannot fail to be of practical benefit to all who make it, $$$ David S. Terry was on the democratic ticket of California in 1530. That is probably why the Sta‘e went republican.—Boston Heraid, The one weak point in this argument lies in its conclusion. The state went democratic, ‘Terry being the only elector on that ticket de- feated. oe ‘The Marquis of Lorne’s new volume of poems will doubtless be as popular a work ss his mother-in-law’s diary in the highlands proved. Hundreds of her loyal subjects wherever they go in their travels carry unbound folios of the Queen's book around with them,—in the linings of their tranks. Somebody suggests that the cut-throat war- fare between railroads be checked by paying the salarics of eaca president and director in the stock of his own company. The idea is not bad, bat it is likely to be carried out about as soca as that other scheme, mooted so many years ago, of preventing railway accidents by fastouing @ tain-despateher 10 the cowestcher of every locomotive. oo Will the sewerage commission make » per- sous) tour of investigation and discovery up the Washington sewers after the fashion of Ta Srau's exploring expedition? The most dircet sad reliable information will be thes obtained. a The question with which California should concern herself is pot so much what shall be done with Nagie, who shot Terry, but what will she do with Sarah Althea Hill Terry.
