THE poStoffice department is still
hot after the newspaper publishers

class mail privilege. 1t is claimed
that the loss of Sevenue to the gov

to between SIS, 900, 900 aud 10000

much room Tor reform along this
line. and small country papers like

in the matter, do not care how

though, for the department to look

the postal service against abuses,
and see about those members Of
congress who use or rather
abuse-the franking privilege to
send abroad over the land tons of
campaign literature, which in no
sense is authorized to use the mails

dishonest members who have even
used the Thanking privilege to have

an enormous iron safe, at a govern

ALABAMA HORSES

Georgia TrotterS Failed to De- liver the Goods at Mont

Montgomery, August 29.-(Special.)- Alabama was victorious over Georgia in the pacing and trotting races here today, winning two of the three events Promi- nent horsemen from all sections of the State were here, together with large number of Georgians.

Injunction Denied.

Helena, Mont, August 29.-The Su- preme Court here today denied the application of the Boston and Montana Ore Purchasing Company to furnish additional bond in the Pennsylvania case and for an injunction restraining F. A. Heinz from operating the Minnie nealey mine pending an appeal from the recent decision of Judge Harney. Both decisions were in favor of the Heinz interests and are of immense importance in the great copper litiga. ton now occupying the attention of the Montana courts.
 The court unanimously struck from the records the sensational affldavits involving Judge Harney, which were filed in the lower court in support of a motion. for new trial now pending. Work at the Minnie Healey mine will fow be resumed.

< THE CALDAS SERUM
 PROVES 4 FAILURE Yellow Fever Commission Will Stop the Experiments HIS THEORY IS ALL WRONG Major Havard Says Yellow Germ Is In the Blood and Not In the h.
 testInes, as Claimed By
 the Brazilian.
HIS THEORY IS ALL WRONG

Havana, August 29.-Major Havard, chief surgeon, says that as the yellow fever commission regards the experiment with the Caldas serum as demonstrations of its uselessness the commission has de- finitely severed connection with the Bra gillian expert and will not supervise any further experiments conducted by him.
 tDr Caldas has all along maintained that he had found the yellow germ in the intestines,'' remarked Major Havard to- day, whereas all the experiments con- ducted here prove that the germ of the disease is in the blood, people having been inoculated by blood infection from a per- son suffering with yellow fever"
 Major Gorgas. chief sanitary officer. made the following statement:
 Some confusion has arisen regarding the precise position of the sanitary. de- partment in connection with the yellow experiments. In March of this year the sanitary department established an inoc- ulation station at Las Animas for the purpose of inoculating non-immunes- that is to say, giving them yellow fever ain order to make them immune. This was not an experimental station, It's sole ob- jeet being to effect immunization.
 ''The sanitary department has nothing to dQ with the recent experiment con- ducted by the yellow fever commission nor with those conducted by the officials sent by the War Department to investi- gate the origin and propagation of yell low fever, although 1t did supply the Carroll commission with mosquitoes.
 The sanitary department stands ready to immnnize, any one who desires to un- dergo the treatment after the risk has been fully explained
 Tt accepts the work of Surgeon Major Reed and his colleagues of the army commission as final, and does not desire to make further experiments in this di- rection. No amount of evidence could make more. positive the conclusion that yellow fever can be conveyed by the mosquito. The person who submits to mosquito infection, however, stands a better chance of recovery than he who contracts the disease accidentally, as the former has care from the beginning"

CONTROL OF ADVERTISING.
How Foreign Cities Have Dealt With
 the Problem.

From Current Literature.
 Edinburgh has had for some years by law prohibiting sky-signs-advertisem whose letters, standing clear of the struc- lures top, show against the sky. To this has been added in 1899 an act which makes, the local Cockburn Association proudly claims, Edinburgh a pioneer in the official regulation of general adver- tisements. It gives to the corporation, as representatives of the community the right to say where advertisements may be placed, and hence to prevent their erec- ton where they could injure the attrac- tiveness of the city. It confers no power of censorship over particular signs, the common law being depended on to check advertisements of an improper character. Glasgow, at a sacrifice of f4000 year, de- termined that the municipal trans should not be dishgured by advertising. and this rule has been adopted by Liverpool, Hull, Sheffield and other towns. In Manchester, among various cities, all boardings be- longing to the improvement committee are. by order of the council, kept from ad- vertisements, and many architects have followed the city's example in making a like requirement of their contractors.
 In the little Dutch city of Leiden the municipality itself manages the public ad- vertising, and so frees the picturesque canal-cut streets from unkempt board ings. The city erects at the principal corners and by the canal bridges boards of neat and attractive design for public notices. A projecting top prevents the rain from tearing or washing away the bills, the boards are surmounted by orna- mental woodwork and the advertising is thus not only kept in bounds. but Is made almost artistic, Of like purpose and bet ter known, are the familiar kiosks of Paris and the city-owned pillars of theat- rical bills In Paris vigorous agitation has lately arisen against the defacement of building fronts by hugely lettered signs, and there are ordinances which prohibit the attachment of notices to any tree on the public way, or to the munich pal lighting apparatus.
 In Rome the municipal and government acts are posted on marble tablets owned by the government and reserved for this use. Private announcements are on bill boards of regulated size and form, which can be erected only on permission from the property owner and from the city.
