Advertisers Use The Star

results from their advertising
In it.
They know, also, that
each one pays a like price
for a like service.
Advertising space is not
given to one house In order
that it may act as a decoy

No Discount" for one,
Especial discount" for an
other and extra special

Like price for like service

GAS KILLED THEM.
Fatality in Cheap Hotel-Two Per-
sons Found Dead.

Bernard Murphy and Mrs. Mary A.
Jennison were suffocated by illuminat-
ing gas in room IL OF the National Hotel,
Orange street, some time Saturday, night
and died from the effects shortly after
discovery at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning. They registered at the
hotel at 1880 O'Clock Saturday evening,
and when found there was every indica-
tion that they spent a portion of the
night in debauchery, and one or the other
afterwsra turned on the gas, which
could not escape, as the windows
and trsnsom were closed. They were dis
covered by bell boy. who went to the
room, the door of which was unlocked, in
response to a call which he thought came
from there.
Unfortunate as the circumstance was,
it is the prevailing opinion that the repu-
tation OF the city will suffer most.
Murphy was 26 years old and lived at
81 Gesier street. He was employed at the
Rhode Island Locomotive Works. A
father, who called for the body, and a
wife survive him.
Mrs. Jeunison was 30 years of age and
resided Mt 223 Fountain street. Her re-
mains were identified by her husband,
who received permit to bury them.
Both bodies were taken to the rooms of
Undertaken Boyce when found and DR..
Eccleston and Medical Examiner OKeefe
summoned.

Caucus Secrets Divulged by Man Who
. Failed TO Secure a Nomination.

Thirty-three Republican members OF
the Common Council and Board OF Alder
men met in secret caucus OH Saturday
evening at the headquarters OF the Repub-
lican City Committee for the purpose of
discussing the qualifications OF the vari-
GUS candidates for the positions on the
proposed board OF canvassers and regis
tration, and to nominate three of them IL
possible.
The unique feature OF the caucus was
that its transactions remained a secret
nearly "a hours. But yesterday after
noon the inevitable result followed.
The secrecy OF the evening before
became matter of more or less general
information and the personnel OF the
commission, as arranged for in the caucus,
was made known. The three successful
caucus candidates are United States Com
missioner John Il. Blodgett, Charles T..
Smith OF the city clerks Office
and ex Councilman Jason y. Stone,
Jr., OF the Ninth Ward. Mr.. Blodgett
was the unanimous choice of the caucus,
but IL required fight OF several ballots
10 secure the requisite number OF votes for
the other two, and even now theie is q
question in the minds OF the Councilmen
and candidates as to whether the slate
will 20 through or not.
1t is only fair to the gentlemen who at
tended the caucus to state that none OF
them divulged its secrets. The informa-
rion came from disappointed candidate
OF Ward 9. He was busy yesterday So
liciting the support of the Democratic
members, and assuring them that he
had secured a big enough vote in the eau
Gus TO assure him OF election providing
the minority members would combine
with his Republican friends in the con-
vention.
The bill establishing the new board has
already passed the General Assembly and
it is now probably a matter of less than 10
days before the two branches of the city
government meet to elect the commits
sioners.
Among the candidates for the position
whom the Saturday night caucus did not
see fit TO nominate are Louis f. Csdy, who
withdrew from the fight for the
recorder OF deeds office last Jan
uary, with the understanding that
he would surely be given a position
on the board of registration as a reward
for his long service as secretary of the Re
publican city committees; Charles s.
Jenckes, clerk of Ward z; William III.
Gorhom, warden of the first district of
Ward 2, and Edmund s. Prentiss OF the
Fourth Ward.

The Month Of June,

The Columbia State says the follow
meteorological data for the month of
June was made up from records kept
in South Carolina and surrouding
weather bureau stations, and may be
of interest in anticipating the more
important elements, and the range
within which variations may be ex-
pected to keep for the present month.
The data covers a period from 16 10
"a years. The mean or normal month
ly temperature for June is II. The
warmest years were 1871 and 1890,
with mean Of SO; the coolest year
was 1884, with 73. The highest record
ed temperture is 1O2, and occurred on
the 10th of the month in the year 1887
the lowest is 46, which occurred on
the 1st, in 1889. The average rainfall
for the month is SIG inches During
June 1898, 1892 inches fell in Char
lesion, which is the greatest amount
ever recorded in the State during the
same month. The dryest June was in
1890 when the average fall was but
little over an inch. There have been,
on an average, 10 days with rain. If
the present month is a normal one,
there way be expected s clear days, II
partly cloudy, and S entirely cloudy
ones. or expressed in another way, it
would indicate that the sun Will shine
during about 80 per cent. of the time
it is possible for it to do so. The pre-
vailing direction of the wind has here
tofore been southerly, varying between
southwest and southeast.

Novel Mouse Trap,

Mice are very knowing little animals.
and are often too shrewd to be caught
by even the best steel traps. To make
a very effective mouse trap take large
jar-the kind used for jam and preser-
ves-and tie over the top a piece of stiff
brown paper. In the center of this
cut cross. Set the jar in closet.
and suspend by string piece Of
toasted cheese or bacon rind over the
center. If the mice cannot easily reach
the top of the jar runway my be con-
structed by placing oneend Of board
on the edge Of the jar and allowing
the other end to rest on the floor. If
there are any mice about the bait will
attract them. Just as soon as the first
mouse has reaches the center OF the
paper he will drop through into the
jar, and the paper will fly back for
the next conner. The same kind of
trap may be used for catching rats,
only a barrel must be submitted for
the jar. A rat will soon gnaw out of
such a trap if not prevented. The
best way to avoid this is to ill the
barrel partly with water This trap is
a great favorite with country people
They lay good sized stone or brick
in the bottom of the barrel and pour
in just enough water to come level
with the top of this. The first rat
which tumbles in, of course climbs on
the brick to get out of the water. As
soon as another victim arrives there is
a fight for possession of the only dry
spot. The noise attracts other rodents,
so by morning a dozen or more may
be swimming and squealing and
fighting for dear life:
