evoked many theories as to Its cause one
theory 10 that the pollution OF rivers with sew
age and the dumping Of offal and garbage upon
waste land where mosquitoes dwell, are making
the insects venomous with germs OF disease ana
death. That may or may not be so; but the
practice In question Is a vile one and should be
abated at once on general principles OF decency

ers in this city.

Ricardo Ricci, Miss Mamie d. Grubb

cient guarantee Of its excellence from
an artistic standpoint. The accom-
panists were Mrs. Ricardo Ricci and
Miss Hammond. Instrumental num-
bers were rendered by the Ariel Man
dolin Quartette.

London, November 29.-The Lord
Chief Justice is hearing an interesting
case which is attracting the attention
Of club men and members of aristoc-
racy here. 1t is the suit Of money
lender to recover frem an officer of the
guards, named Clay, the sum of lib
pounds, due on two prCmissOry notes,
cashed for Lord VIM. Nevill. Sir Ed
ward Clarke, @. c.. representing Clay,
examined the plaintiff and showed that
Lord Nevill borrowed large sums at
from 80 to 40 per cent interest, and that
in one case recently the parents Of a
youth who had endorsed Lord Nevill's
unpaid notes, paid the plaintiff 10000
pounds Sir Edward Clarke, for the de-
Tense, alleged that Lord Nevill secured
Clay's endorsement by a trick. Nevill,
according to couIseis statement, asked
Clay to witness his signature to docu-
ments of private character, these doc
uments being covered by paper in
which there were Sits, where Clay was
asked to sign The latter demurrad,
and asked to see the documents, where
upon he was told tie documents re-
ferred to divorce of Lord Nevill's sis
ter, Lady Cowley. Clay accepted the
explanation, and signed without hav-
ing any idea, until he was sued, that he
was signing promissory notes. Clay
testified in ccrroboration of the state
ments made by Sir Edward Clarke, and
SAID that after the discovery Of the
trick played upon him he taxed Lord
Nevill with it, whereupon Lord Nevill
wrote and asked him to hold bis tongue
for a short time, as otherwise he Oord
NevilD would be ruined for life.
Finally Clay called Lord Nevill a
swindler
At the close Of to-d2y's testimony the
case was adjourned.
