Scientists have made the discovery that
flies are pernlcious and persistent distrip-
utors of disease germs Of about all kinds
The baci1i adhere to the feet and pro-
Bosses of the flies, aud are thus deposited
upon food and IN drink, and upon plates
ana cups and drinking glasses. Every
person, and especially every housekeeper
knows how nearly impossible It is to get
rid of flies. But the scientists crafty us
with the Information that the fly is an
unnecessary evil, and that it can be got
rid of effectually, by adopting heroic
measures. Get rid of the horse, says a
Philadelphia scientist and the fly will
go also. He says the greatest of all breed
ing places for flies is in the stables and
the sweeping heaps, ana that when these
are abolished from the cities the flies will
go with them, This being correct, and
there is no doubt a good deal of reason
in the Philadelphia mans assertion, there
is an added cause for hailing with pleas
ure the apparent near approach of the
horseless age in so far as the cities are
concerned.

THAT CASE AT NEW ORLEANS.

The case of yellow fever at New Or
leans which occurred in May has not. as
yet been followed by others, and there IS
a growing belief in New Orleans that
there win be no more this season. or.
if more, not so many as TO justify fears of
an epidemic. The case In May didn't
cause general alarm. The only state
which put on a quarantine against New
Orleans was Texas. and that quarantine
was raised several days ago.
There were some who thought mis-
take was made when the case that was
discovered in May was made public. II
was said by those who thought secrecy
should have been maintained that the
New Orleans Board of Health should
have waited to zee whether or not other
cases developed, and whether an epidemic
was threatened. It is probable that such
a policy would have been productive of a
scare, and perhups panic. IL would have
been impossible TO have kept secret the
fact that there had been a case of fever.
There would have been rumors of 1t, and
runor would have said there were a hun
dred cases instead Of one. The result
would have been that other states than
Texas would have quarantined against
New Orleans. Weeks might have elapsed
before the true state of affairs could have
been made known TO the satisfaction OF all
of the authorities of the states that es-
tablished quarantine. In the meantime
! business would have been checked and a
vast amount OF injury would have been
done.
But the health authorities of New Or
leans were under obligations to the health
authorities of all of the Southwestern
states. except Texas, TO make known the
first case that developed, and in return
tho health authorities OF those states
agreed not to quarantine against New
! orleans unless there was prospect of an
| epidemic. Owing to this understanding
| there were no exaggerated rumors OF the
| presence of the disease In New Orleans
when the first case developed, and no pan
lc anywhere. It is the wiser pan. as
shown by experience, to deal frankly with

A srn-rREAsuRY IN sAvANNAH.

There is no occasion for repeating the
arguments in favor Of a sub-treasury IN
this city They are 50 convincing, that
at the meeting of the Bankers Associa-
ton at Warm Springs last week the res
olutiou in favor of peutioning the gov
eminent TO establish such an institution
here al the earliest possible date was in
troduced by member of the association
not connected with Savannah in anyway.
and was heartily approved and adopted
Every banker IN the state recognizes the
necessity for sub-reasury here, and 1t
is afe to say that every banker of the
territory tributary to this city is willing
and ready 10 use his influence in its be
half
1t was thought that Savannah stood a
fair chance for getting a sub-treasury
several years ago, and there are those
who believe she would have succeeded
had not Charleston put in claim for it.
Charleston of course had a right 10 do
that, but as il was pretty clear that If
they worked against each other neither
would get it, it would seem as if Charles
ton could very gracefully have stood aside
and left free track TO Savannah, in
view Of the fact that Savannah was the
first to make an application for It.
il is clear that Savannah is going TO
try again to get a sub-treasury, and ii
is to he hoped that Charleston will lend
her a helping hand instead of opposing
her. If she should fail it would be only
fair on her part TO turn in and help
Charleston to get it, Savannah has rather
better railroad connections than Charles
ton with all those parts of the
South which would be benefited by the
proposed sub-treasury, and that is very
great reason why this city should be Sc
lected as the place for it. The country
banks, for the reasons stated by Mr.
Cam, who retired from the presidency of
the Bankers Association at its asCmeet-
ing, are as greatly interested in having
a eub-treasury here as the city banks.
The cost of getting silver for the cotton
harvesting season and of sending the sill
Yer back TO the sub-treasury when the
cotton season is over is a heavy tax on
them as well as on the banks of the
cities
It has already been pointed out That
Savannah has a public building in which
there is plenty of room for a sub-treasury,
and which is well adapted for that pur-
pose. The cost of establishing sub
treasury here therefore would be very
little. That il would be a great conven-
fence for large extent of country there
isn't any doubt At present there isn't
sub-treasury between Washington and
New Orleans.

Sau tute Oh
An Idle Rhyme Which May Not Seem
Pontless.
From Manila P u Freedom, April 30
Twas mornin in the Forum; the Roman
sun shone hot
On many a stately pillar that graced the
sacred spot
Around their awful Caesar thronged the
vast multitude,
From Al best Patricians to hang jawed
ounces rude.
Not since the brave Horatius an army held
at bay
Was Roman Knight or Roman knave so
stirred as on this day.
For now-but bark! the Caesar calls forth
in thunder tones;
'Ho let the dungeon-keeper bring forth
John Henry Jones'"
That voice so firm and regal, rang forth,
say, like a bell,
And then an awful silence about the Fo-
rum fell.
Till bark! a dark procession the outer
portals gain,
And all stood breathless, for they heard
the clank of gyve and chains.
Back fell the pale Patrlcians; the ounces,
too fell back,
And DER the Caesars countenance a
cloud fell cold and black
For To- the trembling prisoner came tot
terlng DER the stones,
And then before the Roman chief stood
poor John Henry Jones.
$50, sirrah," Missed the Caesar, thou
wilt our laws defy?
Perhaps thou thinkest. scurvy knave, we
that shall bid thee die?
But, no; l have another fate which beats
And through the mighty Forum rang an
awful ghoulish laugh.
OF cougse each pale Patrician laughed
much and slapped his thigh,
And one CHE young Incompetus) gasped:
81 shall surely dier
And even all the ounces gave way to
cheerful groans,
But pale and ever paler still, remained
John Henry Jones.
Enough announced the Caesar; and
each distorted face
Grew calm, and every line and curve Slip
ped back into its place.
Enough; and hear the sentence: John
Henry Jones. 1 see
That thou hast been convicted of down
right villainys
And since thou hast the honor our army
to belong,
OF course thy deed is counted as more
than doubly wrong.
And, as by ancient CUSTOM each for all
wrong atones,
This punishment is meted out to thee,
John Henry Jones:
For six most long and weary years no
labor shalt thou do!
Cha! knock thy knees together? and turn
thy features blUeO
Six years thou shalt be idle although. for
every day
We shall compel thee, arrant knave, to
draw in full thy pay
Thy clothing we shall give thee too; and
shouldst thou suffer I'll,
We still shall give to thee thy choice
'twixt blue and yellow pills
But, Sirrah, for thine insolence thou shalt
consort with drones!
(Ho, Warden, give thine arms support
to faint John Henry Jones.)
For six long years thou shalt not once
be seen to go on guard;
Thou shalt not do old guard police, nor
clean the Caesars yard.
Thou shalt not carry water, thou shalt
not rustic wood,
Although you cry in anguish. MIR. John
son. I'll be good
Thou shalt not shine the Caesars shoes
nor look unto his horse
Thou shalt not" but the criminal fell
down, a gaping corpse!
Yea, in the awful Forum Law a bean oe

There was no longer any breath in poor
John Henry Jones.

ported TO the marine hospital service at
Washington by the American sanitary in
spector at Rio de Janeiro. The report
says that records of several of the prin-

six years there has been a preponderancc
of deaths over births, and that the pre-
ponderance shows a decided tendency to-
ward growing steadily larger. 1t is be-
lieved the chief cause of this condition Is
the insuficieney of proper hygienic meas

come aroused to the Importance of check
ing the present tendency. 1t will endeavor
