something About House Flies.

Some one has asked where do flies go In
the winter. This is a question of. some
interest, for a house fly is born fully
grown and of mature size, and there are
40 little flies of the same species, the
small ones occasionally observed being
different in kind from the large ones, The
house fly does not bite nor pierce the
skin, but gathers its food by a comb or
a or brush like tongue, with which it
is able to scrape the varnish from covers
of books, and it thus tickles the skin Of
persons upon which it alights to feed
upon the perspiration.
A fly is a scavenger, and is a vehicle by
which contagious diseases are spread. 1t
poisons wounds, and may carry deadly
virus from decaying organic matter into
food. 1t retires from the sight at the
beginning of winter, but where it goes
few persons know. II a search of the
house is made, they will be found in great
numbers secreted in warm places in tho
roof or between the partitions or floors.
Last winter we had occasion to examine a
roof. and found around the chimney myr-
lads of flies alternating comfortably and
sufficiently lively TO fly when disturbed
lin overpowering clouds" No doubt this
Is a favoEte winter resort for these crea-
tures.-Wilmington IN. C.) Messenger.

Chebowa was then arrested by our party.
In his custody was found eight half
pound packages OF dynamite labelled
Aetna No. 2 and some bombs the same as
those found on Farrell street. The
prisoners will be prosecuted under section
81, which provides for a fine and
Imprisonment of from five to twenty-five
years for having dynamite in unlawful pos.
session.
Inspector Bonield said to night TO an
Associated Press representative: ut is a
mistake to suppose that the arrests to-day
imply a widespread organization or that
public buildings were to be blown up and
a reign OF terror inaugurated. There are
less than q dozen persons interested.
These men are Bohemians and very few
of that nationality are anarchists. 1t is a
sort of spasmodic outbreak, an i'll natured
plan by a few persons and far from con-
templating a reign of terror and blood
shed. 1t meant merely mischief to three
people, Judge Gary, Judge Grinnell and
myself"

killed sOon | will kill them myself"

TARIFF AND THE MESSAGE.
General Butler A ddresses a Meeting of
 Boston Husiness Nzen.

General Butler A addresses a Meeting of
 Boston Business Men.
 BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 31.-In response to a request from a large number of business men of this city and State General B. F. Butler to- night delivered an address in Fremont Temple upon the fisheries and tariff questions. The hail was packed and although Q we'll known Democrat was to be seen here and there yet the Republicans predominated.
 Gen. Butler began by defining the four principles theories of government, free trade, tariff for revenue only, tariff, with incident- al protection and tariff for protection only. He said he would not discuss free trade, business man, who was free trader. Res fsrring to the Mills bill, General Butler said it puts many article5 on the free list, which would be disastrous to the country. The general went on to review the history of tar if legislation in the country and depicted the great prosperity, which had result ed under protective tariff. He then took the Presidents last annual message to Con- gress as the text for long review of the tar if on wool, and drew this conclusion from his argument: That if the specific duty be taken of in favor of the Englishman and the tariff fixed at forty per cent. ad valorem only and the ten cents 0 pound be taken away from the producer, it will leave our manu- lecturers at the mercy of the Englishman with his cheap labor; the only resources to meet which will be for the American manu- facturer to cut down the wages paid his workmen.
 In regerd to the Presidents message the general said, after reviewing the history oi the fisheries treaty:
 If the President is in earnest, let him en- force retaliation for the outrages by the power he has had since March, 1SS7 If he will do that he will show that his paper if the message of statesman and not of ( oampaigner on the stump.

To-days re- port is 23 new cases for the twenty four hours ending at o'clock this evening; four deaths. Among the sick are J. A Conover, manager of Bells drug store; J. F.

Young of East Jacksonville, Andrew Thomas, Miss Minnie Bourse and Thomas Ryan, colored.
 The citizens executive committee organized to-day, with Prof. Olney as chairman, Prof. Artrell as secretary. It will confer with the executive of the Citizens Sanitary associa- tion tomorrow. They propose to make the organization permanent for the relief of the poor and the preservation of law and order. The reception of the news modi flying the quarantine so as to allow special trains to run to Murphy, N. O., relieved the tension somewhat. No assurance is felt, how everf that the arrangement will last long enough to be available. Many places have invited our people to go and enjoy their hos pitalities. General soIrow was caused to-day by the report that Colonel J. J. Daniel, the noble Roman of Florida whose high Chris tian character and calm judgment make his influence felt far above that of any other man in the State, was attacked with yellow fever. He is prostrated by overwork, but is resting easily tonight. Our physicians who were Joseph Y. Porter of Key West is expected to look after the members of the Knights and Legion of Honor, Grand and Supreme lodges. These orders furnish medical attendance, nurses, subsistence, etc., for members and their families who are sick. There is a scarcity of printers, stenographers and type- writers in the city. More nurses will proba- bly, be needed soon Most of the southern are passing nurses here free on the request of the proper authorities.

A Deserving Case.

A circular is being circulated among the several shops in the city in behalf of Benja- min Lounsbury, son of Mrs. Woods of 124 Ivy street, who has had both feet taken of through a cancerous disease. Mrs. Woods is in strengthened circumstances, with six child- ren to support. The object of the subscrip- ton is to enable Mrs. Woods son to have a pair of artificial feet made, which MT. George B. Hoggson, the artificial limb maker, has offered to make him for $150 (the regular price being $20O, by the aid of which he would bs able to earn his own living, and, perhaps, do something for his mother. MT. Hoggson says with the cid of these artificial feet he would be able to do anything but run. Mir. Hoggson, Adelphi building, will ac- knowledge any donation sent to him. Dr. Carmalt attended the unfortunate young man at the hospital and the case is deserving, and appeals strongly to all. A pull altogether will do a most worthy deed.
