POLITICAL POINTERS.
PaschaI Progress and Prosperity is
an Avalanche

PaschaI. Progress and Prosperity is
an Avalanche.
The slogan sounded at the Criathan
meeting on Saturday night reverber
ates all over the city aud has started
landslide that gathers as 1t goes
and will sweep all opposition in it's
wake that the city SCallaghsn-
Shardien com bination sets up.
A meeting of between four and
FIVE hundred voters of the 7th ward
was held last night at which j. q.
Cumberland was chosen chairman
and Mr.. E J. Lsrkin secretary, which
was addressed by the Honorable
George Paschal and Messrs. A Levy,
A. P. Tugwell and Judge s. W.McAl-
lister. The addresses were all received
amid applause.
Another enthusiastic Paschal meet
ing was the one held at Sommer's
Garden last night in the 5th ward
which was presided over by II. Mech
W. H. Houston, Nat SulZbacher, A.
Levy and George Paschsl. All Of
the addresses delivered were stirring
ones, and Mr.. PaschaPs speech was
shaped on the same lines that formed
his address at the mass meeting of
Saturday night.
Both of the above meetings were
solid for the ian ti.city administra.
ton" ticket and endorsed it.
The Colored Central CLUB also held
q meeting last night. at Eureka hall
which was addressed by Mr.. Paschal,
who enthused his auditors.
The italian Paschal club held
meeting last night and was addressed
by its president, Marcos Borgnio, A.
Levy, Darius Quasso and number
of other prominent orators.
Tonight Ell Club Nacional, between
800 and 900 strong will meet and
endorse the winning ticket nominated
last Saturday night.
The Callagnan-Sh city adj
ministration candidates are trying TO
get up q mass meeting for the en-
dorsement of their ticket at conven-
ton hall, but it is likely to be attend

pal participants.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Sheriff Tum,inson Kills HIS Wife
and Then SuicIdes-Jealousy

Sheriff Tum,inson Kills HIS Wife
and Then Suicides-Jealousy
the supposed Cause.
A double tragedy occurred at En-
cinal Sunday, being the killing of his
wife by sheriff rumlinson, of La Sale
county, and then himself.
1t seems that Sheriff Tumlinson has
had some trouble with his wife aud
has not lived happily with her for
some time. He accompanied her
to Encinal, from then home, in
Cotulla, last Sabbath and upon
their arrival at that place, they
decided to 60 hunting. Tumlinson
was, under the influence of liquor at
the time, so it is said, and was not in
q fit condition to have q gun in his
possession. However, that was not
thought of and the two went down on
q railroad track to hunt tor game.
The tragedy then and there occurred,
Witnessed by no one.
'Tumlinson was OF q jealous nature
and had often made remarks which
led his hearers to believe that he was
not satisfied with the manner in
which he aud his wife were living.
When the news of the sad affair
reached Cotulla, it was at once said:
He did it because he was jealous
1t might be possible, however, that
he fred at some game and accident.
ally shot his wife; then, feeling that
lite could not be endured longer by
himself, took his own breath away by
placingIthe deadly weapon to his head
and firing. These are two reasons
assigned for the awful happening,
but the facts will always remain 8
mystery.
Tumlinson was for many years
sheriff of Dimmitt county and was
recently elected to the same Office in
LaSalle county. He was q bright man,
we'll thought of by all who knew him
and q very efficient officer. He has q
host of friends and acquaintances In
this city and all are more than grieved
at the occurrence.

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.
Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.

Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the lSatydid. Here, again, says the
Washington Star it is the male that
has the voice. At the base Of each
wing cover is thin membraneous
plate. He elevates the wing covers
and rubs the two plates together. If
you could rub your shoulder blades to-
gether you could initiate the operation
very nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make sound
when flying that is like watchman's
rattle-clackety-clacl, very rapidly re-
peated. There are also some moths
and butterflies which have voices. The
deaths head" moth makes noise
when frightened that strikingly re-
sembles the crying Of young baby.
How it is produced is not known,
though volumes have been written on
the subject. The mourning cloak
butterfy-a dark species with light
border in its wings-makes a cry of
alarm by rubbing its wings together.
The katydids, crickets, grasshoppers
and other musical insects are all ex-
aggerated In the tropics, assuming
giant forms. Thus their cries are pro-
portionately louder There is an East
Indian cicada which makes remark
ably loud noise. 1t is called by the
natives "dundub," which means drum.
From this name comes that of the
genus, which is known as dundubia.
This is one of the few scientific terms
derived from the Sanskrit.
The "deathwatch" sapopular name
applied to certain beetles which bore
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make ticking sound by stand
ing on their hind legs and knocking
their heads against the wood quickly
and forcibly. 1t is a sexual call. Many
superstitions have been entertained re-
specting the noise produced by these
insects, which is sometimes imagined
to be warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re-
cording the cries Of many insects by
the ordinary system of musical nota-
ton. But this method does not show
the actual pitch, which is usually sew
eral octaves above the staff. 1t mere
ly serves to express the musical inter
walls. 1t is known with reasonable GER
tainty that many insects have voices
so highly pitched that they cannot be
heard by the human ear. One evidence
Of this fact is that some people can dis
tinguish cries of insects which are not
audible to others.

mechanical. The dough, which was
before a close-grained mass, is now
full of little holes, and when cooked in
this condition is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality OF
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
If it be possible, therefore, to produce
a light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the "kneading
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising process
goes on, the gain in food and the gain
in the avoidance of the germs is ex-
ceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
gers which attend the use of yeast it is
certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough IS to the
last degree perfect. BY this mean

result from this cause is more than
probable. have not the slightest
doubt that could we trace back some
of the cases of illness which we meet
in our practice we would find that
germs collected by the baker have
found their way into the yeast bread,
that the heat has not been sufficient to
destroy them, that the uncooked yeast

have already pointed out that the
germs of disease are to be found in
the air and dust. The longer.any sub
stance to be eaten is exposed to the
air, the greater the chance that germs
will be deposited on it. Bread raised
with yeast is worked down or kneaded
twice before being baked and this pro-
cess may take anywhere from four
hours to ten. 1t has, then, the chance
of collecting disease germs during this
process of raising and it has two peri

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDsoN, NJ. D.,

Health Commissioner. New York City.
1t is necessary, if one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men,
knowledge which is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of a theory" has become
a misnomer. A germ of disease is a
plant, SO small that l do not know
how to express intelligibly to the gem
eral reader its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body, its ac-
tion appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. 1t attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and DESTROYS
them, at the same time producing new
substances.
But the germs Of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, of the infec-
ticus and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of human being,
