Flies Cause the Fever.

Dr.. Veeder of Lyons, N. Y. who has
been investigating the subject, is con-
WINGED that much of the typhoid fever
in the various army camps can be traced
to the pernicious activity of flies. He
has found, he says, that living germs
will remain alive after being swallowed
by the fly, so that the insect becomes
positively infected with the disease. In
addition there is the direct TRANSFER of
infection by germs adhering to the feet
and proboscts of flies and their coming
into contact with food. mo doubt )
says the doctor this is the explanation
of much of the sickness in the army.
Food is very apt to be left accessible to
the invasion of multitudes of flies, and
disease spreads rapidly in consequence,
even when the water supply is all right"

DIS0RACEFUL
Scenes Enacted by Oficers of the Sixty
Ninth New York Volunteers.


Ninth New York Volunteers.
One of the most disgraceful scenes
ever enacted in which army officers
played star parts, happened last night
in the lobby of the Morris hotel, after
the Injured soldiers in the Louisville and
Nashville wreck had been brought back
to the city.
At the depot ambulances were in wait
ing under the direction of Mr.. D. II.
Brown, who has charge of this depart
ment, when the relief train arrived.
While this gentleman was trying and Of
fering to do, as is always the case, every
thing in his power for the comfort of the
inJur ed he was insulted and driven away
from his business at the point of bayo-
nets. Finally he convinced them, by
driving away the ambulances, that he
knew his business. After considerable
trouble with the officers and almost I'M
bearable insults he succeeded in trans
terring the injured.
A little later on in the lobby of the
Morris ten or twelve officers congregated
together and began to 'cuss OUT the
city, the railroads ard everybody con
nected with them. Mr.. Brown was
standing at the counter and he began 60
be the target for their fusilade of vile
epithets. One was applied directly to
him, aud in order to resent the insult APP
piled by Colonel Duffy he pulled gun
and made an effort to shoot the irate
commander. His was thwarteG, how
ever, by four or FIVE, officers who grabbed
the gun and wrenched it from his hands
just in the nick of time. A number OF
gentlemen in the lobby then ran up and
prevented any further trouble.
Colonel Duffy, however, who was
drunk, kept up his TRADE OF abuse and
swore by all that was holy that he would
telegraph the war department for an APP
preparation of S150,000, that he would
move his regiment here and at the point
of bayonets put the city under marshal
law, burn it up and tear up every rail-
road coming into the city.-BirmIng-

How to Purify Water.

A leading physician declares in the
Greensboro Watchman that there is no
use of people drinking water filled with
germs, that if parties will simply get
SINE permangnate of potassium and
sprinkle tablespoonful in their wells or
cisterns that it will kill every germ in
the water. The potassium is perfectly
harmless to people and the water may
be used with impunity. A teaspoonful
of powdered alum put in the well will
answer the same purpose.

PrOsperitY fcr Sheen Raisers.

1t is predicted that the current year
will be an exceptionally good one for
sheep raisers. There have been droughts
in Australia for the past three years. A
wool dealer in New York, speaking of
the matter the other day, said within
three years there had been a decrease Of
not less than 60, 0O0,0 900 head in the Aus
tralian sheep focks, which must neces-
sarily be reflected in the wool clip and
the amount of mutton exported. Aus
tralian wool and mutton go to the mark
cts of the United Kingdom, and when
the supply from that source falls off
those markets must look to America to
make up the deficiency. The dealer re-
ferred to expressed the opinion that the
next three years would be years of pros
perity to American sheep raisers.

GOLD AND GUNPOWDER.
Their Important War Relationship y
Described by Asst. Sec. NanderIip.

The story of war loan was Interestingly
told by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Vanderlip yesterday at the session of the
American Social Science Association at Sar-
atoga, n. Y.
Gold and gunpowder," Mr.. Vanderlip
said, are equal acquisitions in modern
warfare. A rich treasury and a potential
ability to add almost without limit to its
riches must have played great part in
robbing Spains men and commanders of
courage and hope, and must have been i'm
portant elements contributing to the down
fall of Spanish power
ITO trace the financial problem which
the war forced upon the country, to follow
the means devised by Congress which were
brought into play, to record the triumph of
war f1nancierng-as complete in its way as
the victories of the navy and army-is
therefore an essential and important chap
ter of war history.
War expenditures jumped in moment
from nothing at all to million and quar-
ter a day, and the resources had to be in
stantly provided. Not alone were the sud-
den requirements of an expensive naval and
military campaign met, the fleet doubled in
numbers, fortifications strengthened. arma-
ment purchased, empty war chests filed
with ammunition, and army of 200 O0O
men equipped and transported to the field
Provisions had to be made for more than
that. 1t was indefinite problem the
treasury had to face.
OF the bond issue. Mr.. Vanderlip said:
III it had been possible to accept all the
subscriptions aggrega ting 81 400 900, 600 and
those subscriptions had been paid for in
currency, 1t would have taken seven-ninths
of all the money in circulation; 1t would
nave taken three times the entire amount
of cash held In the $500 national banks of
the country. Every subscription made by
the syndicate, corporation, association, or
firm. has been rejected. as under the law
the subscriptions Of individuals were to be
given preference over aggregated forms of
wealth. The loan has been confined to the
subscriptions of individuals in amounts of
800 and less, the law requiring that the
humber investors should be favored by
made to those individuals who had sub
scrtbed for the smallest amounts
More than half of the loan, or more
than $1OO.OOO.OO0. has gone to 230,00O peo-
pie, each of whom subscribed for $500 or
less. Fully 100000 people applied for the
bonds, or almost 100000 more than the
number of men enlisted for the war with
Spain.
THE department has never before UNDER
taken so great task as this floating of
strictly popular loan. In issuing $3.50 OOo 900
OF bonds during the last administration the
department had to deal with about 5, 100
people. 1t has been quite different thing
scrtbers OF the loan of 1898. More than 800
additional clerks were employed. most of
whom are still at work. These were COM
pensated out of the appropriation for the
expense of the loan. which was one-tenth
of per cent. or 100000, not a penny of
which went commissions. The expense
of issuing 81 300, ,00O, 900 of bonds during
being one-half of 1 per cent, amounted to
more than 100000
