THE MOSQUITO THEORY.

So far Dr. H. S. Gulley. OF Meridian,
is the only physician in Mississippi
who has put himself on record as be.

the mosquito is responsible for the
transmission of yellow fever.
This news will doubtless be hailed
with delight 10 mosquito camps
throughout the country. The poor
insect is loathed by all mankind, from
the prattling babe to the gray.haired
grandparent, as the greatest pest of
the order insecta. The mosquito has
no friends, and his common enemy is
the universe. but he will doubtless be
glad to know that there Is one man
with sufficient independence Of
thought to step out and defend him
on this yellow fever theory.
Seriously, however, there are Il lot
OF persons in the South, and mem.
bers OF the medical fraternity at that,
who have but little confidence In the
report Of the Lee commission, but
they haven't had the courage to say so
The laity Is inclined tn rega rd ths
matter somewhat In the light OF 9

that In 4 community where a case oil

about mosquito transmission, and

The mosquito theory Is reduced to
a point too Hne far common people to
understand. They cannot rid their
minds OF thoughts OF quarantines and
fumigating apparatus which have so
long been indissolubly associated with
Yellow Jack. and the doctors will
have to "show US" before this new
idea can obtain a firm foundation.

A BOY WHO SAW
THE CAPTURE Or
JEFFERSON DAVIS

Atlanta Journal.
Having read with interest several
accounts Of the capture of President
Davis, l have decided to give the
readers Of The Journal my boyish rec
elections OF the event, as l saw him
the day he was captured.
In 1864, my father, DR.. Curran Reg.
ers, of Upson county, refugeed with
his family to Wilcox county, and set
tied on his farm twenty.one miles be.
low Hawkinsville. There being no
schools In Wilcox, l returned to
Thomast0n, and was there in school
when Wilson's. raid passed through.
The TholnastOn train was captured
four miles from town, set on fire, and,
with throttle opened, rushed to the
depot, a mass Of flames. The negroes
were terribly frightened and thought
judgment day had come. Wilson's
troops burned ginhouses, robbed priv.
ate houses, carried off and destroyed
stock and left desolation in their
track. / lay between two logs and
saw my fathers cotton factory and
400 bales OF cotton go up in smoke.
Jack Traylor's family, with whom l
boarded, In order to get bread was
forced to rake up and wash the corn
left by the horses.
Soon after the excitement was over,
Mr.. Horace Shaw, my brother.in.law,
my sister, Eugenia, now Mrs. Theo.
Ellis, OF Macon, and l tried to make
our way to Wilcox to join the rest of
our family. Reaching Buzzard Roost
Station, ten miles from Hawkinsville,
we found the Yankees had taken the
team sent to meet US, but George, the
faithful servant, had secured dlap.
adated buggy and superanuated
horse for Mr.. Shaw and sister. He
and l we're left to foot II to my home,
where we arrived footsore and weary
the next day.
Four miles from home we met the
Federal troops who had President
Davis and family as prisoners. A
soldier cursed me and told me that
"they had my old daddy, the father Of
liars" Another took my hat and left
me TO 20 home bareheaded. l passed
very near the ambulance containing
the family Of the president, but did |
not get a good view Of them. They |
stopped at my fathers to rest and my
mother sent refreshments to the fam.
lily. When President Davis was flee.
ing, he crossed the river ut Browns
ferry, three miles from our home.
Fred Brown, who kept the ferry, be.
trayed him. He was captured near
Irwinton, some distance from my
fathers. In the months that follow.
ed, the Yankee officers we're frequent.
ly at our home, and we found some Of
them very nice gentlemen. The officer
In command detailed a man to oversee
my fathers negroes. He stayed with
US the remainder Of the year, super.
intending the making aud gathering
OF the crop. He was a Mr.. Neidler,
and think was from Michigan.

Proposed Revolution
lVeptGd IN Ecuador

Advices were received recently by a
South American merchant, whose Office is
in State street New York, that an uprising
in Ecuador egainst the newly elected Presi-
dent, General Lecnidas Plaza, whose inau-
guration will take place on August 80 had
been narrowly averted.
General Plaza was elected by the liberals,
who are in favor of the scheme set forth by
General Rafael Uribe. Uribe, The Colombian
insurgent, in his recent manifesto, issued
July 49, In this General Uribe Uribe tells
OF his fond hope to unite the government OF
Colombia with those of Ecuador and Vene.
zn ,la into one great country.
General Alfaro, the present President of
Ecuador, is in sympathy with this move
ment, and General Plaza was elected to 70.
How the course adopted by his predecessors.
Recently some OF the leading liberals feared
that their new president was about to back.
slide, and revolution was imminent. &C.
neral Plaza has reassured his constituents,
according to the advices of yesterday, and
his Inauguration will take place without op
pt tsition.

OpIir And SO|OInoIs Mines.
Found BY Explorer. !

Carl Peters, the African explorer, who
thinks he has discovered Ophir and the min.
es of Solomon, is back in London again af.
ter ANOTHER year of work along the Zambesi
River. He has found more ruined cities
and settlements that indicate the presence
OF Stmitlc race and many relics shlch
seem to prove the worship of Baal and As,
,tarte. Along the eastern bank of the upper
Sabi he has discovered very extensive cop
per workings, which run along the bank Of
the river for distance of twenty miles, and
he has found also more ancient gold acork
ings. He believes that the old race that
lived there were Sabeans. closely related to
the Ptenicians. One of the most interes.
ting results of his work were some bushmen
paintings which, he says, are absolutely
Egg ptian in character. The contradictions
found in the Semitic and Egyptian remains
lead him to think that Ophir, whence Sol
ONION got his, treasure, and "Punt,n the
mysterious country whence came so much
ivory and gold to Egypt, are one and the
same. He thinks that the districts we're
originally Egyptian, and that the Phenic
ian occupation came later, probably between
1000 B @. Queen Hatsepu's expedition
and HOO B. Q King David's time. Since,
the AraD Influence has been predominant,

Castro Is To Blame.
Say South Americans In

Private adyices regarding the Colombian
Venezuelan trouble cause the South Amer.
lean Diplomatic Corps in London to take a
gloomy vieao of the situation. 1t is general.
ly believed that only prompt repressiye mea
sureson the part of the United States acllI

Disinterested South Americans practically
are unanimous in placing the responsibility
upon President Castro, of Venezuela. Senor
j. r. Calderon, the Colombian Consul Gen.
eral in Great Britain, says: -"America has
a glorious opportunity to restrain the. warlike
elements in the quarrelling nations. 1t
aoould be practical application of the Mon.
roe doctrine, calculated to remove that doc
trine from the domain of dispute. President
castro, who is bated in his own country,
seeks to prevent trouble there by provoking
war on neighboring power.
"When President Castro asserts that the
Colombian conservatives fomented the reyo.
luton in Venezuela, he lies. Instead of the
Colombian conservatives stirring up trouble
in Venezuela, the latter, n the person of the
chief executive, IS cooperating with the lib.
erals of Colombia to embarrass and ipjure
that country. President Castro is circulat.

A Gamblers Revenge.

Some years ago the British court was
scandalized by the announcement that
Robert Standish Sievier. well known
throughout Australia as Bob Sutton,
the bookmaker," had managed to get
presented at court. When Mr.. Sievier's
identity with Bob Sutton was discov-
cred the presentation was cancelled
Though the mills of the gods grindly
slowly, they grind sure, and Bob has
had his revenge on the court of ST.
James, or thinks he has. At the sale
of the late Duke of Westminster stud
the Australian "bookie' was bidding
for filly by the Prince of Wales Der
by winner, Persimmon, from Orna-
ment. When the bidding had reached
5000 guineas Sutton was confidentially
told that the prince wished to secure
the filly. so do l." was Mr.. Sutton S
answer. with some quaint Australian
expressions added. The bidding con-
tinued, and the filly was eventually
knocked down to the bookmaker at the
unprecedented price of 10000 guineas.
