The Lie Eternal.

A little girl came in her night
clothes very early TO her mother one
morning, saying, (Which is the
worst, mamma, to tell lie or steal?"
The mother replied that both were
SO sad she couldn't tell which was
worse Well" said the little one
I've been thinking good deal
about it and I've concluded it's
worse to lie than to steal If you
steal thing, you can take it back,
less you've eaten it, and if you
have eaten it you can pay for 1t
But''-and there was look Of awe
in the little face lie is forever"

Flies and Mosquitoes.

The summer has it's charms, and
they are many, but it has it's irri-
tants, it's discomforts. The worst
of these are flies and mosquitoes
These pests are getting here with
both feet" in fact with many feet.
Their bills also seem exaggerated
and sharpened.
1t has been demonstrated that the
scourge of mosquitoes can be ma
terially modified by placing a little
kerosene upon the waters where
they breed. They do not go far
from their breeding places. Many
of these breeding places are about
ones premises-in rain-water bar
re1s, pools of water and cesspools.
Cities might take charge of the
question of their destruction and
make such destruction effective. If
the pest of mosquitoes may be pre-
vented, a fact already established,
it is probable that flies can be ex-
terminated. It is now known that
mosquitoes and flies propagate dis
ease. To exterminate these will
curtail disease prevent epidemics
of such diseases as they carry from
one person to another and such as
they cause by contamination and
incubation.

The weed commissioner calls at
tention to some things that may be
remedied to the advantage and bet
ter appearance of the city. He
mentions the fact that there are
many places where unsightly weeds
exist about town and are growing
vigorously with the prospect of
seeding in the near future if not cut;
that in some alleys hay has been
thrown to rot; that ashes and other
refuse are thrown into the streets
and alleys and present an unsightly
appearance; that about many barns
much refuse has accumulated. He
is calling especial attention to this
question of refuse in obedience to
the suggestions of the City Health
Officer, DR.. Toby, with view to
the remedy of these things by those
concerned. This weather is dis
ease breeder. Much moisture and
excessive heat hasten decomposition
in decaying vegetation and this with
cesspools in the neighborhood is a
menace to the health of the com
munity. The commissioner spec1-
fes the alley between Main and Sec
ond streets, connecting Elm and
Maple streets, as particular place
that needs attention along this line.

Harvesting of small grain will
be commenced this week. Rye is
ripening fast and is about ready for
the reaper. From it's nature rye
must be thoroughly ripe when
harvested or the grain will shrink.
Rye fields indicate a heavy growth

Senators Come To Blows.

On the United States Senate Saturday
afternoon occurred one OF the most SEN
sational ply ysical encounters ever witness
eu in that body. Senator b. K. Tillman.
OF South Carolina, was proceeding with
his spec ch against the Philippine Tariff
bill. when Senator John c. Spooner, OF
Wisconsin, interrupted to ask how two
thirds majority of the Senate had been
obtained to ratify the Paris Treaty OF
Peace. MIR. Tillman finally intimated
that one Senator--reier,ing to his coll
league, Mr.. McLaurin-had been won
over by promises of patronage in South
Carolina. Mr.. McLauiin, who was alb
sent from the chamber at the time, re
turned and. speaking in his own defense.
denounced MIR. Tillman's statement as
"a malicious lie." Mr.. Tillman imme-
diately rushed toward Mr.. McLaurin and
struck him on the forehead. The two
clinchcd az d were finally separated. The
Senate adjudged both of them guilty OF
contempt, and after each had apologized
the incid mt was referred to the Commit
tee on Privileges ard Elections.

THE NAVY AT MANILA.
Special correspondence to EVENING cArIrAL.I


Manila, p. l.. Jan. Is, 1902.
This IS the beautiful season of Manila
The climate is all that could be desire d
during January and February, and the
intense heat and discomfort experienced
during the last rainy season is almost
forgotten. The Army has captured Ma
Mia in more senses than one. There are
few naval officers and their families here,
in comparison.
Commander Adolf Mark, u. S. N,
is the captain of the post, and lives with
his wife and daughter at the Oriente,
Commander Norris and wife, recently
attached to the Naval Academy, also
live at the Oriente. Commander ID, D.
V. Stuart, also on duty here, is the for
tunate possessor OF a house near the
Luneta. Lieutenant Commander !. 7.
Knapp, with whom the family of Lieu
tenant Commander Glennon are stayine.
also has house.
To properly appreciate what il means
to have house in Manila, one is obliged
to search for homes for months. During
the past few months, since the residents
OF Manila became accustomed to Amer
ican money, and the urgent demand for
American comforts, the prices have doub-
led and trebled. The rents are very
high, and the houses are SO desirable,
they are considered cheap at any price.
In fashionable suburb of Manila call
ed Malate, near the Luneta, there is an
old Spanish house, now occupied by the
families OF officers. AT present Mrs.
Halsey, Mrs. Bartlett, Mrs. Andrews
and Mrs. Wilson are quartered there.
The cruiser "New York is lying in the
harbor with Admiral Rodgers and Cap
tain Mackenzie in command. The "New
Orleans" Captain Speny in command,
came in few days ago. and the prince
ton" with Captain Selfridge in CON-
mand, was here for a week and then
sailed away few days ago. Lieutenant
Commander Schell and Lieutenant Bull
lard were attached to her.
Mrs. Bullard, with her son, Saunders,
is at Hotel Delmonico in the walled city.
A very delightful entertainment was
given here last week at the Army and
Navy Club for the benefit of the foot
ball teams Of Annapolis and West Point
The Russian feet are in harbor, and
many entertainments have been given in
honor Of Russian officers. CAyITE.
