STILL ANOTHER RECIPE FOR KILLING
MosoUIToEs.-''I haven't a mosque
TO bar or a screen about the house"
said Market-street resident, land
yet there are seldom any flies and
never any mosquitoes about it. 1
learned the secret of successful war
fare against these pests when living
in the swamps of the South, where,
summer or winter mosquitoes swarm.
For some years life was uncomfortable
and no meal could be eaten in peace.
But one day gentleman came along
and explained to me how he kept the
CRITTERS away. He burnt small
pieces of gum camphor on the cook
stove, and used a secret preparation
he called 'sudekillo.' When 1 got
married impaired the secret to my
wife, and as there is no patent on it
that L know of, would advise all
fellow-sufferers to go and do like
wise. The gum camphor alone is
ample for the purpose, and need only
be used two or three times a day."

Eccentric Millionaire Rouss.
He is Building T,oeZue- Story Bus
mess House In NeeV York.


Hundreds of people stopped yes
terdaY in front of an immense twelve
story building now in course of erec-
ton at No. SAC Broadway to read the
following inscription printed on a
piece of brown wrapping-paper and
secured to one of the iron pillars with
a string:
He who bids, owns and will occupy this
marvel of brick, iron and grant. thirteen
years ago walked thes streets pennies and fifty
thousand in det-Only to prove that the capt.
talists otto da wer poor men twenty years ago
and that many fellow facing poverty to-da
ma be capitalist quarter of Ia century hence
If HE WILL.
Pluck adorned with ambition backed by hon
or brite viii always command success even
without the almity dollar.
CHARLES BROADWAY RoUss.
Mr.. Rouss is an eccentric million
aire who is in the wholesale auction
dry goods business at No. 466 Broad
way. He came TO this city from VIM
chester, Va, in 1866, without dol
lar and heavily in debt. A keen bus
mess sense, aided by an indefatiga-
BILE determination and answering in
tegrity, soon resulted in his abundant
prosperity. The new building on
which the queer announcement ap-
pears will cost $500, 900. One of
Mr.. Rouss' eccentricities is to sleep
on an iron bedstead in his store. He
frequently amuses himself by throw
ing dimes and nickles to street boys,
from the back platform of Sixth av-
enue car. He is q member of an as
sociation for the encouragement of
phonetic spelling. When one of his
employees dies he closes his stores,
and makes the rest of the men attend
the funeral. Mr.. Rouss hears all ex-
penses.- Netu York World.

National Garment Cutter to be superior to any

within its range all kinds of garments worn by
men, women and children. including full dra-

cutting to do she needs Garment Cutter. I
have had quite an experience in dress-making
and cheeffully recommend It to all in need OF

LEADING democratic members of
congress are being interrogated as to
the policy which they will adopt to-
ward republican legislation at the
coming session. From the answers
of many of them it is apparent that
a bitter warfare is likely to be waged
between the representatives of the
two parties. The session will begin
with great struggle. Congressman
Reed and other leading republicans
are determined to revise the rules of
the house so as to put an end to
deadlocks and similar devices for de-
laying business, and thus to take
away from the minority the tremend-
Gus power to defeat legislation which
has belonged to it in former sessions.
The democrats are equally deter
mined to prevent revision. They
have great deal at stake in this
matter, as the republicans aim to
place congressional elections in the
South under government control
and to act on contested-election cases
as they see fit If they can simplify
the rules i'm the interests of the ma
jority the democrats will fail to balk
them i'm these important matters
