the reader will be all the more sur

that occurred on Saturday, March 90
in the heart of Washington, which may

cieties of this city.
On the date mentioned, Jim Perry
a colored bootblack, who has a stand
on Tenth street Northwest, only two
blocks distant from Pennsylvania av-
enue, caught one of these little ami
mails running about in the gutter not
far from his stand. He succeeded af-
ter some difficulty, and not until the
pugnacious little animal had bitten him
several times, in placing it in a box
where for several hours it remained
the center of attraction for passers-
by, who crowded around Jim's stand
to "rubberneck" at the little creature
and ventilate their opinions as to it's
name and nature, until a policeman
came along and made them dispense.
Jim was born and raised in Vir-
ginia, where shrews are usually COM
mon. but this, it seems. was the first
he had ever seen. He decided that 1t
was a new variety of rat. For two

Net, with velvet Disc.
The model displayed has all the addi-
tons of the living century and only the
ruches of the dead one. The little
quillings, which are made of plain
gauze ribbon in black, are in three
rows at the bottom of the cloak proper.
For the outside lace skirt is hung over
a second complete one of killed white
chiffon; white silk, covered with plain
white chiffon, lining the yoke and
sleeves alone. The killed skirt hangs
beyond the outer one all round, the
width of the fluffy frilling narrowing
up to the bust fastening. A narrower
killed flounce faces the edge of the
lace skirt, increasing the furbelowed
look. The lace sleeves, which are COM
fortably wide, come only to- the elbow.
They are finished with deep f1ounces OF
the chiffon, narrow ruches of the same
outlining the Medici collar and grace

long chiffon scarfs, caught at the bust
with ruchings of the black ribbon, and

wrinkle in Paris fashions. But the

cloaks in less expensive materials, and

for one in vain. For those who can
sew patiently, there are any number
of simple gauzes and nets which will

after proving that, as matter of fact,

washington Correspondence Chicago
Tribune.
South America is in a turmoil over the
prospect that new semi-independent
state is to be established within its ter
ritory. The United States is charged with
responsibility for this movement, which
Is alleged by jealous South Americans to
be the entering wedge for the aggrandlze-
ment in that continent OF the powerful
North American republic. But this sus-
picfon is OF relatively minor importance
at this time In view OF the fact that con-
troversy between Brazil, and Peru, on the
one hand, and Bolivia on the other has
been created which may lead to war.
The trouble has developed as result of
the action OF the Bolivian government
granting a concession to an Anglo-Ameri-
can company to exploit a region OF $4,000
square miles, known as the Territory OF
Acre. The head of this company is Sir
Martin Conway, OF England. the well
known explorer, who interested in his
scheme Mr.. Roosevelt, OF New York,
cousin of the president: August Belmont,
oliver Iselin, of New York, members of
the banking firm OF the Brown Bros, Of
New York, and Mr.. Frederick w. Whit
ridge, Of Wall street
Mr.. Whitridge In June Of 1901 entered
into an agreement with the Bolivian min
lister to Great Britain whereby the Anglo
American syndicate agreed to take over
the region of Acre, with the object OF ex-
plotting and developing It, The conces-
sion was to be- carried on much in the
nature OF chartered company, on the line

These protests were made at La Paz and
Washington. Peru claimed that the terri
! tory Of Acre is not definitely that Of Bo-
livia. Brazil explained its protest on the
ground that the territory is in dispute
between Peru and Bolivia and declared
that Brazil looked upon the granting of
the concession as a menace to its sover-
eighty and that of Bolivia and Peru.
Acre can only be reached for CONNER
cial purposes by using the Amazon and
its affiuents. The Amazon is an interna-
tional highway, but Brazil has jurisdic-
ton over its affiuents, which connect
Acre with the mother stream and has In
formed Bolivia that 1t VIM close them If
the concession is carried out
Peru has adopted a dignihed attitude
up to this time, but does not propose to
relinquish its claim to the territory and
will use armed force to expel agents Of
the syndicate II they attempt to establish
government in the region,in dispute.
Brazils feeling is shown by its recent
note to Bolivia threatening to sever Dip
lomatfc relations unless the concessions be
Immediately Cancelled. But Bolivia asserts
IT is not in a position to cancel the con-
cession. To do so would be to make the
country liable for heavy claim for dam
ages. Besides, the Bolivians desire to in
troduce foreign capital In what they re-
gard as their undeveloped territory. While
Bolivia has been told by Brazil and Peru
that the establishment of semi-inde-
pendent state between the recognized
boundaries of the three republics would
be a menace to their existence, Bolivia,
officially at least. entertains no such APP
prehension, though In certain quarters
the concession appears toybe unpopular.

thorough search for all possible breeding
places should be made within radius of

it seems rather definitely proven that the
Anopheles mosquitoes do not fly for great
distances. After the breeding places are
found they should be drained or filled in
with earth, or they should be rendered un-
inhabitable to the Anopheles larvae by
covering the surface of the water with a
thin film of kerosene oil, or by introducing
certain fish which feed upon the larvae,
