KAUBnlANN,s GREAT SALE.
People Crowd the Store Daily to Sc
cure The Bargains offered.

People Crowd the Store Daily to Sc
cure the Bargains offered.
Doubtless all have seen the very large
advertisement of Kaufman & Co. in yes
terdayss papers, wherein they invite the
whole of Richmond to visit their store ana
observe the Bazaar-hIe appearance OF
each department. i called there yester-
day afternoon at what might be consid-
cred a quiet fine to see If the suggestion
of the Strengthening of prices was an actual
fact, but upon arrival found such
3concourse of Richmond public that it was
with d :fticulty that I was able to make
way through the store at all.
Certainly haufmanns have told truly
When trey say they have too much goods
for each section of the store Is crowded
with this seasons novelties.
The Ribbon stock is loaded down with
every imaginable color and shade. The
JeWelry counters display all that is pleas
ing and enticing to the ladies, and IN
the Neckwear some of the daintiest effects
for evening and dress wear are to be seen
in great variety. 1t is difficult to know
Wt.at Kaufman & Co. do not keep in the
way of women's APPAREL, but certainly they
have all that one can desire in the way
o. trimmed millinery, and it is also an
assured fact that the prices are reason
able enough to suit everyone who wants
something beautiful in headgear. T do
not know il it is usual for millinery houses
to make such great reduction in prices.
but for this particular sale signs are dis
Ilayed all about the store that the firm
are selling their entire stock of Trimmed
Hats at IS per cent. or one-quarter, Oft
the marked price. This seems to be a re-
markable offer, and no doubt it is, for
the big crowd of Richmond's best people
We're occupied in picking out what they
wanted when I was there. Then the
Waist and Underwear Department was
doing great business and it does not re-
quire the help of a salesperson to tell
you what the prices are, for every article
is ticketed with a card showing what the
original price was and what the garment
S marked to sell for this sale. Then up
stairs in the Cloak and Suit Department
the whole of the town seemed to be Sc
lectlng either q coat, skirt. or suit, and
you may be sure there are plenty to pick
from, for the whole place is filled to
overlooking with garments of the seasons
fashions, the prices being within the reach
of al. who wish something nobly and
good.
The Kaufman firm having every sue
cess with their huge sale. All should at
tend and see one Of the sights Of Richmond
before the entire stock is thoroughly de-
pleted, which surely must be the case
f the firm continue to offer such eX-
ceilent goods at the remarkably low prices
at which they were displaying them yes
tcrday.

DR.. Irving c. ROSES paper IN the

on Malaria and Mosquitoes, says the
DietetiC and HYGIENE Gazette, should
help to hasten the end Of one or the ali
too numerous fads in medicine. We
doubt very much that the 6ite Of any
mosquito ever produced, or helped to
produce, malaria in any one,
Much" says DR.. Rose, that mas
lately appeared in the journals relative
to malaria and mosquitoes is at yarl-
ance with the medical experience and
personal observation Of myself and
others. Medical geography does not
explain such incongruities as the ob-
servance of malarial fever in noun
famous places, like the island OF
Mauritius, the high Sierras Of Spain.
or in certain parts of Japan and
Alaska. while there is almost eXemp-
ton, for instance, in the marshes
around the City of Mexico and in
certain islands wanting in altitude. as
St. Helena and Bermuda. l am not
aware that Arctic voyagers have ever
suffered from any form of malaria
after encountering mosquitoes, which
have caused great annoyonce to eX-
plorers as far north as man has pene-
trated. l may also cite instances
where healthy people from the North
have been temporarily exposed to bites
in the vicinity of Norfolk, Va, at
Tybee Island Ca, the New Orleans
quarantine and on the Rio Grande
river, all points Of which anopneies
prevail yet not one of whom has been
affected by malaria. A similar remark
applies to Leghorn and to Rome,
where, owing to the most important
changes in public hygiene fever is
seldom ever witnessed, malaria fever
is seldom seen except among the
poorer classes. Englishmen and
Americans, who constitute two-thirds
of the foreigners in Rome, now reside
there for years without an attack OF
melaria, in spite of mosquitoes and of
what the Italians consider their eccen-
trio and imprudent habits. An old
and experienced practitioner Of New
Orleans tells me that the same is true
of louisiana, notably, among resi-
dents OF the salt marshes extending
from six to fifteen miles inland from
the Gulf. On the other hand, am told
that malaria fevers are common in the
foothills of Virginia, as at Charlottes-
vile, where mosquitoes are such
negligible quantity as to be almost I'M
