MTLLERS EYE ISN'T EVIL.
Tne Right or Jerseyman to stare at
Another Jerscyman who Stares First.

Another .Berscyman who Stares First.
william Miller, an expert engineer ems
ployed by Tiffany, who lives at l41 Lexing
ton avenue, Jersey City, last night admitted
that he was the man who had been accused
OF staring at Oscar X. Gardner and l. s. Wv
Post on the cars and ferryboats. But he
denied that he had stared, and said that
ne was the victim Of silly mistake and
the overweight maginations OF the men
who thought that he had hypnotic eyes,
As told in The Sun yesterday, Gardner
threatened to have Miller arrested
DO look like man who would try TO
hypnotize anybody or stare at them just
to annoy them?' Miller asked when seen
at his home last night.
when assured that he didn't, he said:
There is nothing in the stare story. II is
all a mistake Mr.. Post and Mr.. Gardner
have been imagining things.
Il admit that have looked at Gardner
on my way to and from business. | have
lett my house at regular hour every
morning Tor many years and generally
catch the same boat day after day One
day | noticed that Gardner, whose name
/ did not know at the time, was staring
fectly natural thing to do, wasn't il? Sew
raj times after that We exchanged ganoes,
and then | heard that he had been COM
planning to friends about my staring at
him.
"A meeting was arranged and Mr..
Barrett introduced us on ferryboat.
explained that | had looked at Gardner
because he looked at me. We shook hands
and thought the matter had been dropped"

NO WATER TO PUT OUT FIRE.
Seven Houses Destroyed in Schenectady;
One Torn Down 10 Check Flames.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Aug. 0.-Fire started
shortly before l o'clock this morning in a
bakery in Huett street, and had water
been obtainahle the fire could have been
confined to the building in which it origi-
mated.
But no water was to be had The city
water department had some repairs and
changes to make at the pumping station,
and the water commissioners decided to
shut down the machinery from 10 o'clock
Saturday night until 10 o clock this morning.
During this time the sole water supply
for the entire city, with a population Of
nearly $4,000, was from the standpipe which
stands on an elevation in the upper part of
the town. This standpipe, if filed, would
hold 500 900 gallons. Whatever the quantity
of water it may have contained last night,
there was none when the fire occurred this
morning.
A brisk wind blew the sparks from the
bakery for several blocks. Many roofs were
set on fire, but bucket brigades were formed
and these small fires were eItinguished
with water from cisterns
The flames from the bakery soon set
fire to nearby houses and seven were
burned All We're two-story frame struc-
lures built separately. Fire Chief Yates
had the eighth house torn down before the
flames reached it, and thus CT ncked the
progress of the fire.
The repairs at the pumping station were
completed by 1890 this morning, when
the water supply was turned on again.

PITTSBURG PHIL ISN'T THROUGH
And He Didn't Win Anything Like $50, 900
ON ArIstOcracy.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 0.-George f.
Smith (Pittsburg PhiD would very much
like to have quiet talk with the man who
gave to the newspapers yesterday the story
that he retired from the turf after cashing
his bet on Aristocracy in the Saratoga
Special yesterday afternoon.
Smith is much annoyed at the story for
two reasons. In the first place he doesn't
like to have stories Of his wagers printed
in the newspapers. In the second place
he doesn't like to seethe newspapers fooled
about him, because some OF them might
think he supplied the transformation.
Smith is stopping at the Windsor Hotel.
Sitting on the hotel porch this afternoon.
he talked for some time to the reporter OF
The sun. Among other things he said
II haven't retired either from the turf or
the betting ring and haven't any intention
of doing SO at present. But l don't see
why the fact that L have or haven't is OF
enough Importance for the newspapers I
notice As matter of fact, shall go and
come as please, bet on racehorses When
l like and refrain from doing SO when
like The story that l made my last wager
when l made IL small bet on Aristocracy Is
almost too ridiculous to deny.
1T is true that | had small bet on the
Madden horse, but like all the bets l have
put down for a long time, as compared with
the betting used to do, it was the wager
of piker. 1t is many moons since have
done any heavy betting.
Il backed AristOCracy, first, because
the price was long. AS a rule, l back only
long-priced horses. Besides, the colt had
shown we'll in his last time out and yesterday
he was ridden by ONeil, boy who is re-
markably quick in getting away from the
post, and so could get the hard track next
the rail.
Il do not caro- to state how much 1 bet,
but will say that | didn't win anything
like 1000. IL was not within one-sixth
of the amount l bet on Gimcrack in the
Travers Stakes / didn't hear that any
thing was printed this morning about my
losses on that rice
In referring to the fact that he had sold
| all his horses. some of them, including
! Grand Opera, to +. F.. Smathers, the owrer
of McChesney. Smith made rather signifi-
| cant remark He was asked If he thought
| Grand Opera was any match for McChesney.
| Tie said well. I don't know. Grand
! Opera is a nice horse, very nice horse.
| He won seven ont of eight starts haven t
| seen McChesney and wouldn't like to COM
pare two horses, one Of which | haven't
seen. But Grand Opera is nice horse
as he as fast as Waterboy?' Smith was
asked.
ooh. mol Grand Opera is In a different
class from Waterboy, quite different class,

THE X-RAY AND MOSQUITOES.
WHAT A JERSEY PHYSICIAN
THINKS HE HAS FOUND.
After Using Roentgen Rays He Found
Dead Mosquitoes on Laboratory Floor
The GreenIsh Lights Attract Insects
anil Then Something Happens to Them.

AIVeT asln6 tOtutRtN mays
Dead Mosquitoes on Laboratory Floor
The Greenlsh Lights Attract Insects
AMI Then Something Happens to Them.
A Newark physician thinks that he has
solved the mosquito problem. He has a COM
plete X-ray coil machine in his laboratory and
has been using it in his practicefo a month
or more and experimenting with it at night.
The other morning a housemaid showed
the doctor a dustpan half filed with dead
mosquitoes and other insects which she
had swept up from the polished floor OF
the laboratory
1t set him thinking, and on the following
day he turned up the electric lights and
looked around after the X-ray machine had
been In use for fifteen or twenty minutes.
He found nine dead mosquitoes on the
table supporting the coil and twenty-three
upon the floor in space of dozen square
feet. There we're more In the air, and after
placing a bed sheet under the X-ray bulb
he opened the windows and the door of the
room and watched with no other illumina-
ton than the greensh light of the bulb
He saw few mosquitoes hover around
the lamp and pass through the path of the
direct and active rays repeatedly, and he
concluded that his observations were Of no
real value. But after permitting the lamp
to burn for ten minutes he turned on the
electric lights and counted nihe dead mos
quitoes on the sheet under the lamp stand.
The same results were found on the follow
ing day.
Since then the doctor has had no oppor-
tunity to continue his experiments, but
he says that If there is another invasion OF
the pests this year he will take the X-ray
lamp out doors and satisfy himself if it can
be used practically for the determination
of the insects. He placed number of the
dead insects under a microscope of Or
binary power and could not discover that
they were in any wav injured externally.
There was no shrivelling of the wings or
distortion of the limbs.
The doctor has an extremely high regard
for the strenuous ethical code in New Jersey
and Is shy Of notori ETY., but he would like
to know if the same effect has been observed
by other operators with the Roentgen rays.
He does not believe for moment that it
would be practical to use X-rays for the
determination Of mosquitoes in the open.
but he does think that the pale green glow
of the lamp has strong attraction for the
insects and almost none for the moths.
He found only one dead moth during his
experiments, although there were many
flying about the ordinary electric lights on
the second evening Mixed with the mos
quitoes in the pan to which the housemaid
called his attention were many small
flies such as hover about the arc lights In the
street at night.

FOREIGN NLABOR INTHISDISTRICT

For several days alarming reports have been spread in this city that Slovenian labor was being imported into Bisbee, which was to take the place of American miners at reduced wages.
 After a careful investigation of the matter. it is safe to make the asser. ton. based upon the statements of mine officials. that there is ro imme- diate cause for alarm on the part of the hardy miners and merchants of this city.
 During the past three months not more than 100 foreigners have arrived in the city. and not more than one. third of these have been able to get employment, either around the mines, in the smelters or at other classes ot employment
 Superintendent Merrill of the Caiu met & Arizona, Superintendent Claw son of Copper Queen mine and Super intendent Woods of the. Copper Queen smelters here. each deny that they are putting unskilled and undesirable foreigners to work.
 Many of the Slayonians, of whom there are about 00.000, 900 or more ir Europe. who have come to this city have been forced to go to other places With but few exceptions they are de nied employment in this city.
 The danger expressed by many i' that these laborers will come to the city in large droyes, and in the course of time take the places of a more de sirable class of laborers now em ployed around the mines of this sec tlon.
 One notable instance of what has been done in this line is in the Sar Juan district of Colorado. The mine, employ Slavs, and it was only a short time until they had complete contro Of the camps. They worked for re duced wages, or had foremen wht would not employ Americans.
 On the streets of this city, where l; number of miners gather, it Is com monly heard that the city is being flooded by Slavs. who are beinl brought to the city by certain parties When asked for the names of the par ties, they cannot be given.
 cIawson's Statement
 One of the first asked about the re ports that the mines and smelter here are rapidly filling the places O Americans with Slavs was Superinten dent Clawson. He said:
 These stories have been started b. agitators. who have some purpose il view. They are not talking facts and seem determined to do injury il

POSTAL MAKES
 CHANCE 10 RATES
FORTY CENTS ADDED TO MES
 sAeEs SENT TO TUCSON

Local Telegraph Company Will Now
 Route All TeIearams via Fl Paso
 Instead of Benson, as Formerly.
 The Postal Telegraph company has inaugurated a change in it's service for the people of this city that will make telegraphing to points in Arizona covered by the Western Union more expensive.
 In the past messages for Arizona points have been sent to Benson, and there transferred to the Western Union. Under the new scheme. all messages go from here to Fl Paso. via the Postal, and are there turned over to the Western Union.
 The change will mean an additional forty cents to the sender of every message. Heretofore it has cost nfty cents to send ten-word message Ito Tucson. To send this same mes sage it will cost ninety cents. all of which is caused by the roundabout "~S -A "hiSA tue ASIeSTAn IS sent.
 As an illustration of the expense attached to the sending of messages. take telegram for Pearce. The mes sage is sent to Fl Paso, which costs forty cents. From there it is sent tn Cochise, for which fifty cents is charged At Cochise the telephone line is brought into play. and fifty cents more is added, making total of s1.40.
 This change will mean more delay ln the delivery of messages. At Et Paso 1t is necessary to send messen. ger boys from the Postal to the West ern Union offices. which are several blocks apart. At the usual gait of a messenger boy, this means a loss in sime of from ten minutes to an hour
 Our rates to points where the Pos tai company has an office will remain the same" said A. Lamoreaux local Postal manager. yesterday "Tbe additional charge is made to all points where a transfer has to be made at Fl Paso from the Postal to the West. ern Union office"
