STATE and PARISH FAIRS.

In almost every newspaper COM

tice mentions of State ana County
fairs beng held, or accounts OF their
successful. formations. To us OF
South West Louisiana these affairs
are practically unknown, In North
Louisiana, and as far South as
Alexandria, they have been held
with satisfactory results. Why then
in this land so full of promise, so
abundentlY provided with natures
richest gifts, cannot we get tagethef
and at least hold a parish fair once
a year.
There is no section of the State
which is SO ideally fitted for the
holding Of Parish far as this

DOTY'S WAR ON MALARIA
NEW YORK HEALTH OFFICER ELS
OF RECENT EXPERIMENTS.
How He that Mosquitoes
Caused n Dreaded Disease-Petro-
Ieum Ii Death to Larvae.

NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-Dr. AlVah II.
Doty, health officer of this port. who has
of late been carrying on a warfare against
mosquitoes, beginning his operations on
Staten island, to-day issued a statement
concerning these operations, which have
been prosecuted with a view to determine
definitely, if possible, whether the malarial
fever parasite is transmitted from one
person to another by the female of the
anapheles species of mosquito. Mr.. Doty,
at the New York quarantine laboratory.
has been carrying on his Investigations for
a year past. He first selected "A low-lying
district in which were many stagnant pools
and on which were 100 small houses. In
spection showed that at least 30 per cent.
of the inhabitants were suffering with
acute or chronic forms of malaria. Sam
pies of water from the pools and cisterns,
cesspools and barrels disclosed larvae of
the mosquito. Large glass tubes were dis
tributed among the houses for the purpose
Of securing some of the mosquitoes which
infested the neighborhood and among
those collected were found the ~anapheles
or malarial mosquito. In one of the
houses a little girl seven years old was
found suffering from acute malaria. DIR.

a drop of blood from the lobe of the ear.
a archaeological examination of this was
made in the laboratory and the parasite
found. In the meantime some of the an
apheles will be dissected to discover, if
possible, the presence of the parasite.
Many tests have been made at the labor
atory to ascertain the value of different
agents believed to be destructive to the
mosquito larvae.
1t was a surprise. says DIR. Doty, to find
that a solution of bichloride of mercury
sufficiently strong to Kill all micro-organ-
isms. or germs. effected the larvae slowly.
some being alive at the expiration of
twenty-fOur hours. The doctor says it
would be unsafe under any conditions to
which are fully exposed, and this may also
be said of carbolic acid and other agents
experimental with.
DR.. Doty next describes the apparatus
he used in spreading the oil. the latter
being forced TO the bottom of the ponds,
from which it rose to the top, bringing
with ii quantities of the larvae. DIR. Doty
sums up by saying: ''The result of this
Investigation from a scientific point has
been of great interest. First. because il
has shown the intimate relation between
the mosquito and the malarial fever; sec
ond, because 1t was revealed TO those who
have been identified with this Investigation
the true breeding places of the mosquito,
known; third, it has shown that petro-
leum oil will surely and promptly destroy
mosquito larvae and so far as careful ex-
periments indicate it is the only agent
which can be depended upon for this
purpose"

LONDON. Aug. 12.-At to-day's session OF
the South African compensation commits
sion Newton Crane. counsel for the Amer
can claimants, submitted the American
claims. DR.. A. T. Conroy. of Chicago. a
member of the Red Cross Society. asks for
$1,000 for losses of surgical instruments,
horses and wagons. A. j.. Giebener, for
merly of Galveston, Tex, now stranded in
Saxony, went to South Africa in the ca
pacity of assayer and was deportsd from
East London. He asserts that he is ruined
in health and fortune and wants $4,000.
He makes his claim in a letter to President
Mckinley, with whom. he says, he fought
in the Shenandoah valley during the civil
war.
S. ]. Ahrtug, of Brooklyn, who was cx-
PEELED from Bloemfontein. requests fSo0 for
the loss OF his grocery and goods. Anna
Wedekind. of Brooklyn, claims e1S4 for de-
portation and loss of employment in the ca
pacity of cook. Nine miners claims vary
In sums for deportation. They were ac-
cused of completely in the plot against Lord
Roberts.
Mr.. Crane said the claims were made in
behalf of the United States government.
Mr.. McIlvain, the chairman, said he
thought no allowance could be made except
for legal claims. Something, possibly,
might be given to others, as an act of
grace, but the Foreign Office had laid down
the principle that the military authorities
had power to expel any one hostile or in
convenient. Mr.. Crane objected to this
view and pressed the commission for a
clearer exposition of it's powers. The chair
man somewhat testify told Mr.. Crane he
must not interrogate the commissioners.
Mr.. Crane divided the claimants into
three classes-those deportsd for cause
other than the plot against Lord Roberts,
those wrongfully deported and those accused
of completely in the plot. He objected to
the term "act of grace used by Chairman
McIlvain, saying it was an act of diplomacy
for the preservation of the comfy of ma
tons. If In diplomacy an ambassador was
only considered as an 'act of grace it
might be dangerous. Less than that had
produced war.
Sir John Ardagh, the representative of the
Foreign Office, commended that DR.. Conroy's
expedition was composed of men who threw
away their Red Cross badges and joined
the lighting Beers. Sir John read a letter
from Lord Kitchener asserting that the
acts of the main claimants justified their
arrest, the accusation of completely in the
plot against Lord Roberts and their depor-
tation as undesirable persons. whe Amer
lean claims will be further considered to-
morrow.
