A young telegraph operator at
Winona took down the telephone
receiver the other night and when
central answered he said "Hello,
Central, give me heaven" He went
out to throw switch for an incom-
ing freight. He threw the switch, step
ped backward onto the main track
and was struck and instantly killed
by the express train for which the
freight was sidetracked. The moral
of this sad tale is: Don't ask for
things you don't want; for the gods
sometimes give US the things we ask
for.

A man who had been out Of work
for some time found $40 bill on the
street one day and Immediately went
to the grocery store and paid bill
for that amount that had been owing
for some time. The groceryman paid
the butcher with the same money
and the butcher paid the $40 to q
farme: for calf. while the farmer
went to the bank and paid a note
that had almost expired. A few days
later the first man to handle the
money received a check for $40 dol
lars and the cashier handed him the
same bill. There was fifty dollars
paid off with the same piece of
currency aud afterward it was found
out the bill was counterfeit. Who
the loser?

VICTORY IS CLAIMED
OVER YELLOW FEVER
Result OF investigations Made by
Scientific Commission.

Science has at last mastered yellow
fever. The dread disease has been
robbed of its terrors, and there is no
longer danger of an outbreak of the
scourge.
This assurance is given the public IN
bulletin just issued by the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service,
and is based on the results Of an inves-
tigation by the United States Govern
ment at Vera Cruz.
The inquiry was conducted by com
mission OF experts, consisting of Dr.
Herman B. Parker, assistant surgeon Of
the Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service. and Drs. George f. Boyer and
o. L. Pothier, of New Orleans A brief
summary OF the result OF their lnvesti-
cations are set forth as follows in their
report:
The cause of yellow fever is an ami
NAL parasite, and not a vegetable germ,
or bacterium.
The disease is communicated only By
the bite Of mosquitoes
THE only genus OF mosquitoes which
is classified as stegomyia fasciata. Is the
host of the yellow fever parasite"
This theory IL in. direct opposition to
that brought out several years ago By
Sanarelli. the Italian scientist. wac
studied the disease in Cuba and was
decorated by the government for his
work. He asserted that the germs were
disseminated by a vegetable instead o.
an animal parasite.
In their report OF the investigation.
the surgeons set forth a number of re-
markable cures to substantiate their
theory. The disease breeding germ.
stegomyia fasciata, was permitted TO
feed on the subjects. and while the fever
was at it's height the germs we're killed
and subjected to a microscopicaI exami-
nation. This resulted in the discovery
that they contained the same parasite az
found In the blood OF the victim
AS a result OF the experiments. the
Public Health and Marine Hospital serv-
ice will direct its efforts to fighting the
stegomyia fasciata.
In the future all steamships arriving
here infested with yellow fever will be
thoroughly fumigated with a view OF
discriminating this germ of mosquito.

WORK WILL CONTINUE
IN TRUST SHIPYARDS
Probably No Suspension at Will
mington Plant.

WILMINGTON. July 23.-Officers and
creditors OF the Harlan & Holdings
worth Company met today with the re-
ceiver of the United states Shipbuilding
Company. James Smith. jr. who is also
ancilIary receiver for Delaware. and ac-
cepted a proposition whereby he busI-
ness OF the company will be continued
without interruption, and there will
probably no suspension of work at
the Wilmington plant
A committee consisting Of J. s. Town
send. Lewis Thompson. and A. p swo-
yer, OF Philadelphia, and George s. Cap
ellie and Howard T. Wallace. Of this city.
were appointed TO cooperate with Ite-
ceiver Smith in carrying the plan into
effect.
The proposition as accepted is as fol-
lows:
The ancillary receiver of the United
States Shipbullding Company for the
district OF Delaware will apply to the
United States court for an order au-
thorizing him to retain possession of
use and dispose Of the assets lately in
control of the Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company including all of the material
and supplies now at the plant, work. in
course OF construction, cash accounts,
and bills receivable due, or growing due.
and to carry on such business as a
going concern
THE United States court shall be
asked to make further order directing
that the assets and the profits Of the
Wilmington business shall be used for
the payment, primarily of the creditors
OF the Harlan & HollingswoFth Com
pany.
THAT the creditors of the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company shall extend the
time of the payment of their claims un-
til the first day of August, 1904, pro-
vided that all claims shall draw inter
est at the rate of per cent per annum
from their maturity.
The success of the plan depends on
the assent of all creditors. a few OF
whom were not represented in The meet
ing. The assent of all will probably be
obtained

BUILDING FOR BUREAU
OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS
Director RocKhill Sanguine of Its
Erection Within a Year.

Director W W. Rockhin. of the
Bureau OF American Republics. is very
hopeful of the success OF the plan az
the bureau to erect in the near future
a new building for its Offices, and TX
pressed the opinion today that the 1925
900 necessary TO construct building OF
the sort desired will be forthcoming
within a year.
Some weeks ago meeting Of the dip
lomatic representatives of the govern
ments interested held a meeting here
when It was decided that each minister
or other representative should write 10
his government and recommend an dp-
preparation for this purpose. and that
Secretary Hay should also approach ;he
interested governments through Ame-i-
cas- representatives to them, urging the
Importance OF the matter
Two countries. Costa Rica and Cuba.
have answered the communications. In
forming the bureau that they have ap-
propriated sums to cover their portion
OF the expense. Mexico has written a
letter declaring her interest in the plan
and intimating that she will enter into
it,
The United States. according to the
arrangement that prevails in proportion
ing the expenses Of conducting the bu-
reau. will have TO contribute about s74.-
COO rs her share of the cost Of the new
building. II this sum Is appropriated By
Congress at the coming session ana IS
made Immediately available Il Will BE-
sufficient to begin work pending pay
ment or the part of the other republics
Of their share of the total OF 1925 900.
In q short while tine Bureau Of Ameri-
can Republics VIII get out book OIL
the Argentine Republic. This publica-
ton promises to be extremely interest
ing. II will contain valuable informa-
ton concerning economic, industrial.
and crop conditions. together with de-
scriptions OF the railroads, the laws, and
other matters of interest to English
speaking peoples.
little later another book will be
brought out dealing with present condi-
tious In the United States. Although
the bureau has been in existence thir-
teer years and has brought out many
publications upon the Southern repub-
lies. 81 is curious to note that il has
never published a work on the United
states for the benefit OF the Latin peo-
pies The book on this country will be
printed in Spanish and is especially for
the use OF the Southern countries.

COLONEL MILES TRYING
TO WIN PRESIDENCY
Wants to Be Head of Uni
yersity of Virginia.
STRONG OPPOSITION TO HIM
Faculty and Students Alike Averse to
Former Member of Board of Wis
itors-Procter Stock Rising.

Reports from the University Of Vir-
ginia indicate a revival Of the fight by
the friends Of Col George W. Miles.
principal OF St. Adams school. at Rad
ford. Va, 10 have him elected TO the
presidency OF the university. A rather
voluminous pamphlet from Roanoke.
prepared by the Virginia alumni OF
Smyth county. gives some hundred or
more letters setting forth Miles virtues
and his qualifications for the presidency
OF the University OF Virginia, and urging
the board Of visitors, to whom it is ad-
dressed 10 elect him when they meet
next week TO select an executive head
for the old college.
Colonel Miles was a member Of the
board OF visitors. but resigned a year or
30 ago in order TO be elected 10 the
presidency OF the university Opposition
TO him has been most bitter on all sides
from the very first.
Students in Opposition.
Not only is the faculty OF the uniyer-
sity against him. but the students them
selves held a mass meeting last session.
when his name was prominently men
toned in connection with the presidency,
and passed unanimous resolutions re-
questing the board Of visitors not to
appoint Niles.
One OF the causes OF opposition to
Colonel Miles. whose ability is not de-
MED. is that he has shown extraordinary
zeal in pressing his own name for the
position. It Is said he has written CIR
cUlar letters setting forth his qualifica-
tions for the place and has conducted an
active campaign IN his own behalf. An
other reason IS that he has had great
prominence as a lobbyist before the Viz
glnia Legislature. and has been other
wise mixed up in politics.
Appointment Would Be Unwise
Colonel Miles has very strong friends
on the board Of visitors. put those who
are unfriendly TO him assert that a ma
jority OF the board is strongly opposed 20
him. not because they dislike him. or
because they think he is unfit for the
position, but because they feel that Il
is out of the question 10 appoint a man
for whom there is so pronounced feel
ing of antipathy on the part OF the fac
ulty and the students.
