Allison burid to day In a manner devoid of all ostentation. Services were held at the residence of the dead statesman and, while not of a private character, the limited accommodations of the home permitted only the presence of the distinguished visitors, the relatives and the meet Intimate friends of the late sen ator. The services were simple and con sisted of the reading of the Twenty-third Psalm, the fifteenth chapter of the Epistle to the Corinthians, and a prayer. Rev. J. T. Bergen of the Westminster Presbyterian church officiated. There was no music. The Interment was private, and after the Proabyterian committal service had been read by Dr. Bergen, the body of the sen' ator was lowered Into Its last resting place on tho hillside which overlooks the Mis sissippi river.

Curtis, secretary of the play ground association of America, today made public the following letter written by President Roosevelt to "the boy and girls of Washington:" Through Dr. Curtis I have learned that many of your are taking an active part In star athletlo contests and athletic events In your city. I am glad to see this. I be lieve In work and I do not bellfve In sac rificing work to piny; hut I most emphat ically believe also In play. A boy or girl who haw a healthv body will be all the better fit for serious work, and if the health come through vigorous sports pur sued in nn honorable, strulghtfnrward man ner not only their mind, but their charac- er is benefitted. To the boys I wish to sav a special word. I emphatically believe In manliness. In courage, In physical address, but I be lieve quite as much In good comradeship and In a spirit of fair play. I hope that wherever you enter a contest you will do all that Is In you to win, and yet that you will remember that It is far better to fall than to win by any unfairness, by any underhand trickery. Keep In mind thnt It only by persistent effort In the face of tllseournirement that any of us ever do anything that Is really worth while doing. The fellow who gives up when ho Is once eaten Is made of mlghtv poor stuff, and If he thus gives up as soon n he is beaten n a sport, he does not rtatid much chance of success In the serious conflicts of after Ife. The true spirit. th spirit which wins victories In after life, la the spirit which flihtfl hard to succeed, but. which takes defeat with good nature and with the res olute determination to try again. It Is a pond beginning for this- serious work of after life If on the plnv grounds you learn how to co-operate with your fellows and to ao your lest to win. although at the same time treating your opponents with fairness and emirtesy.

ZETTIEAU, Germany, Aug. 8. The Saxon authorities have discovered what would seem to be an excellent way to put an end to the caterpillar plague, which Is having such a disastrous effect on the local forests. They have discovered a method to catch the brown nun moths that lay the eggs from which the caterplllats J come In enormous quantities. They make use of what they call the electric light trap. This consists of two large and pow erful reflectors placed over a deep recep tacle and powerful exhaust fans. The whole has been erected on top of the mu nicipal electric plant. At night two great streams of light are thrown from the re. flectors on the wooded mountainsides half a mile distant. The results have been as tonishing. The moths, drawn by the bril liancy, come fluttering In thousands along the broad rays of light. When they get within a certain distance of the reflectors the exhaust fans take up their work and with powerful currents of air swirl them down Into the receptacle. On the first night no less than three tons of moths were caught. INLAND WATERWAY STARTED Canal Will Connect Norfolk Branfort. N. C, I nttln Off Danger to Small Craft. and Aale Caaaea fatal iiart.
