TOO DRY FOR FLEAS.
Msssrs Pulex & Go. Desert the
Beaches and Como to Town.
Their Jumping Habits Are Being
Emulated by All Classes.
MilHopaires and Yellow Dogs Are
Equally Delicate Morsels.

The heas that have ravaged Harlem,
Brooklyn and other parts of the greater
New York the past week have de-
scended upon the city to its very heart
II must be confessed. No consideration
OF pride or commercial greed should
oppose q widespread admission of the
visitation. New York Is in a state of
plague, or siege, or whatever may be
the best way to put 1t, from ieas. Let
all the world, then, that objects to fieas
put up a rigid quarantine and put 1t
up high, as this particular flea Is a
jumper Of power and development.
The first intimation that was received
of the impending pest was small and
feeble complaint from Harlem about a
week ago. Then 1.-The Evening World"
was forcibly drawn, three days ago, to
consider the leaping. biting plague of
East New York.
The swarms were spreading evidently
more from the Brooklyn nucleus than
from Harlem stock, which seems to
have been drawn sporadically and va
gravity from some smaii mysterious
source that has nothing to do with the
present supply.
Brooklyn may be fairly considered as
and It's environs-for 1t probably came
Gravesend.
The wicked flea, when no man pur-
sueth. Is a daisy of industry, without
any particular reverence for labor
He chooses his location in the rosy

eve and the dark and slumbrous night,

This last remark shows that there Is
limit to the wisdom of even a diction-

upon the metropolis is human flea,

SOUL
The cause and source of the present
visitation are not yet clearly defined,
but will doubtless be fully explained
ance of 1t. Many people say that the
long drought has driven the fieas from
the parched sands of the neghboring
beaches to seek sustenance elsewhere.
