To Put An End To Charlton.
Timee-Democrat.

I1mee-DemOcrdt.
Charlton, or anthrax, is reported
in several parishes of Louisiana;
and, as we have noted, there are
two cases in the Charity Hospital
of men suffering from the disease
from carelessly handling sick ami
mails. With proper precautions
in disposing of the bodies of ami
mails dying of Charlton it can be
easily and very soon eradicated,
but, unfortunately, too much care
lessness has been exhibited in this
matter. In an interview given
yesterday with a veterinarian at
tention was called to the fact that
instead of burning the bodies of
animals dying from Charlton, or
burying them with lime, as should
be done, they are in some cases
thrown on the levee, injecting the
grass growing around them, and
thus assisting in spreading the
disease among other animals gra-
zing in the neighborhood. That
this is the cause of the spread of
the disease is indicated by the fact
that it has prevailed principally
along the river, and in q limited
section, where this practice exists
of dumping the dead animals on
the levee.
If the local authorities will take
hold of the matter and compel the
destruction of the corpses of ami
mails dying of Charlton they will
soon rid Louisiana of this malady.
The assistance of the veterinary
bureau of the Department of Agri-
culture can be secured, and with
vaccination after the manner pro-
posed by Pasteur, any further
spread of the disease among ami
mails can be prevented.
The loss to which owners of cat
tie and mules have been subjected
from Charlton can be easily avoid
ed by the adoption of these pre-
cautionary measures, which cost
little or nothing, and which should
be rigidly enforced.

CITY BOARD OF HEALTH TAKES AC
TON TO PREVENT ITS SPREAD.

The City Board of Health through
it's presiding officer, City Health
Officer DR.. Kohnke, has notified
all veterinary surgeons that the
board will at once take charge of
the csrcasses of all animals that
may hereafter die of Charlton in
the parish of Orleans, and veteri-
nary surgeons are instructed to
promptly inform the board of all
fatal cases of Charlton in this pa
IRISH that may come under their
notice. DR.. Kohnke is most anxi-
GUS to prevent the skinning and
rendering of the carcasses of AMI
mails affected with Charlton, his
purpose being to bury them with
as little delay as possible.
With reference to the Charlton
visitation DR.. Souchon, president
of the State Board of Health, has
sent out the following letter, which
is wholly self-explanatory:
New Orleans. June Is. 1899.
To All Health Officers of Louisiana:
THE prevalence of Charlton In the pa.
rishes should arouse the solicitude Of ell
boards of health, lest the disease may
spread rapidly, when 1t will surely at
tack human beings.
You should exert your influence to
have ali animals which have been expo-
sed to Charlton at once injected with the
anti-toxine.
THE cost IL very slight, viz: 81 so for
each tube Of ten doses. with q for a sy.
ringe; and the injection can be done BY
any intelligent person.
THE antitoxine can be procured in
New Orleans, and the State Board will
attend to all orders your board may send
it.
ITO burn the dead animals Is the only
safe plan.
when they are buried, ever SO deem.
there is still danger from the grass
growing over them communicating the
disease to animals eating the grass.
Great care should also be taken re-
gardlng isolation Of the animals; also
the disinfectiOn of all their excretiona
and Of the stables.
Yours very truly,
EDMOND SOUCHON, M. D.,
President Louisiana State

A story of a curious injunction comes from New Orleans. It has to do with
 a business mans rights
 RIGHTS in a telephone number.
 IN A A Mir. Galloway of TELEPHONE Memphis is a coal deal NUMBER. CT with an office in New
 Orleans. For years he has had telephone at his place of business, his number being S43. There are two telephone companies in New Orleans, and MT. Galloway has been buying service of both. The number, 343, he had from the Cumberland com pany, and when the Peoples telephone company came into existence he made arrangements so that his call on the Peoples line should also be S43 Mr. Galloway says that he has used this number 343. for years to bring his busi- ness to the attention of the public He has put it in his advertisements in the papers, posted 343 in large figures on billboards, and the number is printed in the telephone guide book. He came to consider that it was a part of his business.
 MT. Galloway has had for a manager, one C. A. Andrews. Last month MT. Andrews resigned, going into business for himself. Mir. Galloway was sorry to lose the services of MT. Andrews, but he wished him well, till he heard that the Peoples company had given his former manager the telephone call 343. MT. Galloway determined to take steps

TO KRUPP, THE IRONMAsTER.
Statue Recently Unveiled in Berlin in
 Memory of a German Genius.

He was a simple ironmaster; sue cesses which in his vocation he achiev- ed satisfied his ambition, and he re- fused patents to nobility when Prus- sia offered them; but when his statue made by Prof. Herter the sculptor, lately was unveiled in Berlin the em- peror came with his court to attend the ceremony. Alfred Krupp assumed in 1S4S the responsibilities of a small foundry, erected in the early part of the century by his father. While he successfully contended with numerous difficulties, he invented the process by which excellent crucible steel could be produced in large blocks. One of these, weighing two tons, the like of which had never been seen, he exhibited at the worlds fair of 1851, in London, laying the foundation to fame and for tune. Introducing the Bessemer pro cess for making steel rails and invent ing weldless steel tires for locomotives, he materially advanced the interest of railroads.
 When the methods of warfare were revolutionizcd by his invention of brcech loading riGed steel cannon his reputation became established. Begin ming with 1864 he has furnished thirty five different states with 25,000 of these

at once to keep what he has come to regard as a valuable asset. He lost no time in filing an application for an in- junction to prevent the Peoples tele- phone company from giving Andrews call 343.
 This is a legal proceeding as interest ing as it is novel. The commercial value of the number S43 would seem, to the lay mind, to be established by the evident desire of MT. Galloway's for mer manager to secure it for his tele- phone, and that being the case it re- mains for the courts to decide to what degree the number in question has be- come Mir.

Certain notorious journals in New York city, and their suburban imita-
 tors, had much to say,
 SONS OF few months ago,
 SOME about the sons of
 BODIES. somebodies'' and sneer-
 ed at the president of the United States for giving commits sions to men who bore distinguished names.
 Prominent patriotic societies confine their membership to those who are de- scendants of ancestors who fought in the war of the revolution. There are those who sheer at these societies, and say: Let each man stand on his own record!" Each man must stand on his own record, but that is no reason why he should not be proud of the record of his fathers; and he should so live as to hand down to his children a name which it will be an honor to bear.
 It has been said that he who does not honor the noble name of his ancestors
 
 which his posterity will look back with pride. It is no crime for man to be a son of one of natures noblemen. A son of Henry Clay fell gallantly fight ing in the war with Mexico; Fletcher Webster, son of the great Daniel, was a brave colonel in. our last great war. Numbered among our American sons of somebodies are our president, the general-in-chief of our armies, the ad miral Of our fleets, all descendants ,5 revolutionary ancestors, and all proud to belong to the society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
 One of the sons" given a commits sion by the president, a brave son of a gallant sire, young John A. Logan, fell facing the foe in the Philippines. An other, General Fred Grant, is leading his troops to victory. Another, Adel- bert s. Hay, son of our secretary of state, is on his way to take the place of Consul Macrum in Pretoria Young Hay, who is a graduate of Harvard and man of affairs, is sent to a posi- tion which can be filled acceptably only by man versed in the art of diplo- macy-able, tactful and fearless. Such man the son of John Hay is said to be, and as the companion of his father at European courts. he has had extra ordinary opportunities for studying the theory and practice of diplomacy.
 We have in our army another man bearing a name of high renown, the nephew of his uncle and a scion of the Virginia Lees of the revolution. No doubt he is justly proud of the race whose fame his own life has made more illustrious.
 Another of these sons is that boy of Captain Gridley's, who, thanks to the friendship of President Mckinley and Admiral Dewey, will be permitted to prepare to enter the service in which his brave father fought.

In the war in South Africa, which 1t is now evident is likely to be one of
 the great wars of the
 OLD century. England is sut- FASHIONED fering from precisely MILITARISM. the same weakness that
 lost her the American colonies a century and a quarter ago. Braddock and Burgoyne find their parallels in Gatacre and Methuen. Her army is oficered from her aristocracy. and though the average ability of an aristocracy may be no less than that of any other class. the life training of younger sons of English court families is not such as to develop the readiness of resource, the shiftiness in adapting means to an end, the shrewdness in estimating the character of a situation, which marks to take extreme in stances-the plainsman or the back woodsman and is so general a charac teristic of Americans. Rudyard Kipling has made us acquainted with the sport loving, boyish, gallant. blundering young officer and the grumbling, faith full Tommy Atkins" who follows him through thick and thin. The private soldier has no prospect of promotion and develops no power of initiative and self reliance. But there is talent and ability in the English nation which comes to the surface in emer- gencies, and it cannot be doubted that they will find out how to fight the Boers when, as now, they are brought face to face with the problem.
 War is a practical business, a dread full business, for it's object is simply murder, but it is governed by bus mess conditions. The enemy must be killed as cheaply as possible. Chiv- airy and dash and showy courage are all out of date since long distance mur- der was invented. Modern war is a matter of creeping and lodging and taking careful aim after getting the elevation. This the English must learn, certainly they do not seem to have learned it as yet, but it is only a question of giving up old fashioned prejudices in favor of common sense.

LAYING UP A COMPETENCE.
Something That Practically Any Man
 Can do by a Little Self Denial

There are some men of genius" said MT. Nippingly, "who accumulate great fortunes by great strokes, but by far the greater number of fortunes, in- cluding those of moderate dimensions, and these form the great majority of all, are made by the very simple pro cess of living within ones income and investing the surplus, with more or less wisdom, but always where it will be safe.
 "The older I grow the more amazed I am that more people don't lay up a competence for themselves, as most anybody can do, by beginning early in life to live within their income, and sticking to that course faithfully. Did I do this myself? No! Am I, however, having learned the wisdom of this course, now making a beginning? I am obliged to say No I am still spending all I get and laying by noth- ing.
 There are some lessons that we all easily acquire, but never turn to our own advantage; one of these is of the benefits that arise from the exercise of self denial. We get from this, at once. the direct benefit of what we save, and self denial nourishes, strengthens and broadens the will, and enables a man constantly to do and to earn more and more.
 There's simply nothing like self de- nial; it is the key to every one of flies treasures; and everybody has one of those golden keys in his possession, eager to help him, and waiting only for him to bring it in use. New York Sun.
