"CLEANLINESS is NEXT TO GOODNESS

1t pays to keep clean. Since the New
Workers have taken to sweeping their
streets and supervising the sanitary con-
dition of some Of the fouler quarters of
the city, they have effected saving of
10000 lives per year, and pulled down
their annual death rate from 24.95 to
1868 per thousand.
This has been the work Of Mr.. George
T.. Waring, who is a competent and con-
scientious man, and who as Street Com
missioner of New York, has brought to
bear upon this work marked ability cou-
pied with honesty and sincere devotion
to duty.
Remarkable as this record appears our
record here in Raleigh has been even
more remarkable Our death rate in 1898
was, as near as can be ascertained, about
% to each one thousand lives.
Last year this rate was reduced to
1925, and so far this year it has only
been 1910. This is saving of about
thirteen people in every thousand, or a
total saving in population Of 5000 of
los lives each year. This fact itself ought
to demonstrate to our people the great
value of getting our streets in order, and
keeping them clean.

GOLDBUG INTOLERANCE.

L The Ashev:lle Citizen shows up the in
tolerance of the gold standard propagan-
da a little better than it has ever been
done before in the following short edi-
torial:
ut is reported that the Bank Of Eng
land, said everywhere, till recently, to
be the strongest financial institution in
the world, will hereafter hold one-ffth
of it's bank note reserve in silver. 1t
may easily be doubted that this report
is anything more than an attempt to
provoke an expression of opinion; but
the effect that the publication has had
in some quarters borders on the comic.
One gold organ, for instance, says:
"The announcement causes some
uneas:ness, due chiefly to the fact
that the Bank of England manage
ment for the last few years has not
enjoyed that unreserved confidence
which formerly made it synonym
for financial stability. 1t would be us
ing too strong an expression to say
that the bank was regarded with
suspicion. . but it is true,
nevertheless, that the directors Of the
Bank Of England do not possess
reputation embodying the best finan-
cial judgment Certain incidents of
the banks management within three
or four years have detracted from the
respect formerly felt for the directors
and officers
"There you are! The Bank Of England
may, only may, show an atom of re-
spect for silver. but il there is but

New Orleans Sept 15.-At the close of

fever situation so far at least, as New

have materially improved. There was less
anxiety than at any time since Monday

have they lost control of the situation,
and that it was quite within the range
of probability to expect that in a short
time the superior quarantine and sanitary
methods employed will prevail and crush
out the bronze visitation. During today
there were twenty cases reported to the

thise two are still under investigation.
two were reported as suspicious and as
requiring further diagnosis, fourteen
were found to be harmless cases of fever

RACING AGAINST

Two Vessels Laden with Valuable
Cargoes OF Sugar Are Endeavoring
to Reach Philadelphia Before the
Tariff Bill Becomes a Law--Heayy
Weather Causes Delay.

Philadelphia, July 2S-Two British
steamers, laden with valuable cargoes
of sugar, are tonight scudding over
the seas toward this port as fast as
their engines can carry them in a race
against time, tide and tariff. There is
a stake of $125,000 at the finish If they
get within the customs district of Phil
adelphia before the Dingley bill passes
the senate tomorrow afternoon, for do
ing so they will have saved that much
money in duties on the sugar. The ves-
sells are the Elton, Captain Emwright,
and the Hurworth, Captain Marck.
Both are from Java with their cargoes
consigned here. AS Gibraltar was
passed July and 6, respectively, the
steamers should have come in the Del
aware capes last night, but the recent
heavy weather has probably caused the
delay.
To incoming vessels, the Philadel-
phia customs districts begins at Mar
Gus Hook, Pa, and today three swift
tugs went down the river to pull the
steamers over the line before the bill
becomes a law. Every effort is being
made to make better time than the
United States senate has been making,
and the postponement of the date on
the bill until o'clock tomorrow after
noon has stimulated hope of landing
the stake. To do so, however, the
steamers will have to be within the
district before noon tomorrow, as the
custom house closes at that hour un-
til Monday. Substantial rewards await
the captains of the ships If they beat
the bill.

WHY FROGS PUFF UP.
They FOoIishiy Fancy 1t Makes Them
Look Big and Dangerous.

From Popular Science News.
A French fable tells of a frog who
saw bull grazing in a field adjoining
the pond where he lived. Envluus of
the bulls size, the frog tried to blow
himself up to the same dimensions.
He puffed out his wrinkled hide to the
tmost; but his companions laughed
at him, and told him he was not nearly
as large as the bull. At this he grew
furious, and strained all his powers in
a mighty effort to blow himself up
still further. One puff another.-and
he burst!
The moral of this fable is good, but
the natural history is bad, as II is in
most fables. still almost every one
who has taken the trouble to watch
frogs or toads for any time will have
observed the blowing up" to which
they resort especially when alarmed
by anything. Watch Il toad when
some cruel boy is after IL with a stick,
and you will see the phenomenon in
all its glory What Is the explanation
Of 1t" Very simple. Absurd as it may
seem, the toad is trying to scare the
boy by looking as big and terrible as
it can. And doubtless it wonders very
much that the boy doesn't take to his
heels and run at the sight of the huge
and fierce monster before him!
This putting" Of the frogs and toads
is one of those instructive defenses SO
common amcrg the weaker animals.
The cats getting its back up" the
bristlng of the feathers of birds, the
sputter of the turtle. and even the
rattle of the rattlesnake-all belong to
this class Of protective manoeuvres.

PITTSBURG SUFFERS.
Effects Of the Big Storm--RaiIroad
Traffic Is Delayed Many WASH

Pittsburg, July 23-All the railways
centering in Pittsburg suffered from
the great storm, which swept through
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys.
On the Erie and Ashtabula division of
the Pennsylvania railroad, the damage
was particularly severe. The rain re-
sembled a cloudburst in many places.
Landslides and washouts were frequent
and many bridges and trestles were
rendered unsafe. Small creeks were
transformed into torrents while in
some places the roads were turned into
swiftly running creeks, endangering
the trestles over them.
There were two washouts on the
eastern division of the Fort Wayne
line, one being at New Galilee and the
other at Summit. Tons of earth were
swept down, covering the tracks and
they were blocked for several hours,
although all the through express trains
got in on time this morning. The block
house run track, running out of New
Brighton. is unfit for use. 1t is a small
switch, being only a few miles long.
