The rre.ldsnt and the New Tariff Bill.

is to nis mind an Improvement over
all past tariff legislation, and there

HEAVY LOSSES BY FIRE.
Cranberry Growers in Wisconsin Suffer
lief,

Cranberry Growers In Wisconsin Suffer
Misfortune.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. ga special to
The Evening Wisconsin from Cranberry
Center says the losses of cranberry grow
ers in that vicinity from fire have been
enormous. In about Mather. where there
have been many acres of marsh and from
the railway station thousands of barrels
have been shipped yearly there is almost
nothing left.
The peat has burned down to the sand
in places to the depth of two feet. The
peat formed great beds of hot Goals which
were ever ready to brighten up when
famed by the breezes. Whirlwinds took
burning Goals into the air and carried
them over the heads of the fire fighters
and deposited them twenty, thirty or forty
rods away. Many of the tracts of land
will never be used for growing cranberres
again and as they are almost worthless
for any other purpose will for the time re.
vert to the county as useless.

from the point of view of one who

freshness that is unusual in articles

spirit OF the place picturesquely, and
suggests its quaint features socially
with very amusing account of the

A MERRY war is on at Aurora. Its
cause is to be found in the low stage
Of water at present prevailing in the
Fox river. There j. not water
enough for all the factories which de-
pend IN 1t for power. and as a result
the upper mill takes the water and
those below are compelled to shut

AN OLD FRIEND.

The startling story told by Matthew
j. % Rourke of Million dollar
issue of forged and fraudulent Aque-
duct bonds in the Tweed days Is not
exactly new. 1t has made its appear
ance at intervals for the last fifteen or
twenty years.
In substance the charge is that when
bonds were issued two sets Or double
the amount authorized, were printed
The proceeds Of one set went to the
fund designated; the other set, forged
and fraudulent, went into the pockets
Of the conspirators.
The amount thus forged and stolen is
put roughly at tfteen millions. They
were 4 per cent. bonds. They are still
outstanding as good bonds, and IL the
proposed rebonding policy Is carried out
they will he replaced by genuine bonds,
and the forGerieS will be covered up and
concealed forever. This is the story.
one curious feature about this star
Ting fraud is that II the bonds are
outstanding. the interest on them must
be paid. II is surprising that every
year FOR twenty years or more the IN
tcrest account should have overrun six
hundred thousand dollars without at.

FOR THE RAILROADS.

The proposition to restrict legislatures
by a constitutional provision from limit
ing the damages to he recovered for loss
OF human life has been defeated at Al
bany. 1t was, of course. vigorously OPP
posed by the railroad corporations. as IT
would leave the amount of damages to
which they would be liable In a wholesale
butchery unlimited. II is Inconsistent
that a man whose arm or leg Is broken
should be enabled to recover any amount
a jury may award him. although he ~
still able to work and support his fam
lily. while for the killing OF a man whose
family is left in besgary only five thou
sand dollars can be assessed.
The excuse for rejecting the proposed
constitutional restriction Is that the mat
ter Is II proper subject OF legislation. But
that Ia a paltry subterfuge. There Is not
a member of the constitutional Conven-
ton who does not know that the railroad
corporations can obtain for money any
law they want from a New York state
legislature and that the limitation can
not be removed except through consti-
tutional provision.
Many of the Conventionists have been
In the Legislature and know how 1t Is
themselves.

BOYS AND BULLET.PROOF COATS

the disgruntled German and justifyins
the Presidents action on the tariff uucs-

All this Is waste of time. President

ever did need one il has been furnished
by Senator HIN in his humiliation Of
Mr.. German. Nothing can be added TO
that scathng rebukc that can sink the

auire any justification OF his action on
the tariff question. His consistent. up

FIRST BLOOD FOR REFORM.

The result OF the police trials mas
agreeably disappointed those who have
seen in them only a source of embarrass-
ment for the Lexow investigation and
trick of the Police Commission to white
wash the officers charged before the
Senate Committee with blacknail.
CAPT. Michael Doherty and Ward Men
John Hook and Bernard Meehan have
been found guilty and dismissed from
the police force. Five sergeants and two
patrolmen have been suspended from
duty.
CAPT. Doherty's position in the force
was due to the influence OF Mr.. Croker
himself and ex-Register John Reilly.
Hook was made ward detective
through the influence of ex-County Clerk
Patrick Keenan,. These pulls may
have been regarded as enough to protect
any officer. They were Of no avail in
these trials.
This is the beginning OF the end. 1t is
the first practical result of the police
disclosures and gives the Police Com
missioners and Prosecutor Wellman the
credit of accomplishing the opening tri-
umph in the cause OF actual, solid re-
form in the force.

Prof Riley. in a lecture before the
Lowell Institute, discusses most prac-
tically the subject of how to get rid
of household pests. For certain of the
commoner pests, such as bedbugs, car
pet-beetles and clothes-moths. benZine
applied in fine spray by means Of an
atomizer was said to be the best rem
edy, as 1t destroys the insect in all
stages, including the egg. In the use
Of benzine great care should be eXer-
cised that no fire or artificial light is in
the room at the same time. as the vapor
Of benzine is highly explosive.
For cockroaches. bristle-bugs. fish
moths and heas. pyrethrum powders
were recommended. For the dcstruc-
ton of the mosquito, the Professor
recommended pyrethum powder moist
ened, made into little cones. then al
lowed to burn in closed room. The
effect is to stupefy or kill the mos

1t was mistaken idea that mosquito
bites inoculated the body with malarial
poison. The idea came from the fact
that mosquitoes and malaria fiourished
