"1n communication which appeared
in the Saturday News of April 25, 1908,
and signed "Redneck,"T Il. M. Kelly, Of
Anding made insinuations which SEEM
ed to be, and have been construed, as
reflecting upon us. These insinuations
were of character which we think no
honorable man should bear and we wrote
to Mr.. Kelly to inquire If he did refer to
us in the article above mentioned.
"His reply was clear evasion of what
we considered an altogether proper in
quiry, and another letter was written TO
him in the hope that he would make
himself clear as to whether or not he in
tended to reflect upon us. To this last
inquiry he refused to reply.
"Inasmuch as we have exhausted every

each other and that T. Kelly and D. d.
Dorsey fired at each other.
While the shooting was in progress F.

PRINCE CHEN WAS JARRED.
Was Greeted with the "Chlness Ma.
tional Anthem" Until He
Got Tired of 1t.

Prince Chen, the Chinese prince i'm
perial, who lately visited President
Roosevelt at his country place at Oy-
ster Bay, was recently extensively en-
tertained in Brussels by the city IA
theirs, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut. But the pleasure of his stay there
was marred by the monotonous music
which was played in his honor every
where he went, whether visiting build
ings, monuments, or dining
and reviewing. After awhile, it is
said, it Jared so on his nerves that
he, asked his interpreter to inquire
what the composition was. 1.-THE Chi
nese National Anthem" was the re-
ply OF the somewhat surprised burpo-
master of Brussels, Mr.. De Mot. "But
we have none" was the response made
by the royal guest to the embarrass-
ment OF the encourage. 1t seems that
a willy European some years ago COM
posed a sort of tum-tum. with an ac-
compartment. and called it the "Chi-
nese National Anthem" This the gull
ible city fathers have used on all occa-
sions when Chinese dignitaries were
being entertained. 1t remained, how
ever, for Prince Chen to expose the
composer. who had already made a
neat little sum out Of his composition.

Lambs Bro, of Michigan City will
put in a complete lumber yard.

Sergeant Brown, of the Fourth po-
lice precinct, was the only male pas
senger in a Clinton ven trolley .
in Newark the other morning when the
dozen women in it were frightened by
q nest of mice which one of their num-
Der had un~suspectingly brought in.
At Bergen street the woman who
caused the commotion boarded the car.
She took a seal near Brown, in the
middle of the car. He noticed after a
few minutes that she was acting queer
". Her hat did not seem to fit, and
she shifted and twisted it until sud
denly she tore it from her head, threw
it on the floor of the car and screamed.
When the other women in the car
looked at the hat they screamed too.
Nestled in the lining were three little
mice, squeaking in terror as the wom-
en- passengers scrambled up on the
cane seats and stood trembling.
The sergeant, fearing that some of
the women might try to leap from the
car, ordered the conductor to hold the
door closed. The sergeant killed the
tiny mice, and then offered the woman
her hat, but she refused to put it on,
and carried it at arms length until
she alighted from the car, a few blocks
farther on. Brown says she wouldno
give her name. !.

era Cattle HerA.

It might seem that where half q
dozen herds we're mingled together, it
would be impossible to select the calves
belonging to a particular owner with
any degree of accuracy, says f. Mayo,
writing on Beef" in Leslie's Monthly,
that in the roundup they would be-
come hopelessly mixed. But all this
is obviated by a very simple rule, which
is that the calf belongs to the COW
that claims it, and consequently to the
concern whose brand she bears. Long
experience has taught the cattlemen
that the calf may mistake its mother
sometimes, but the cow her offspring
never. OF course, in these days of wire
fences when the free riders of the
range are ~degenerating to the rank of
the eastern "hired man." and each
bunch" is kept to its own territory,
there is small occasion for the exer-
else of this test; but in the old days of
The. open range it worked perfectly,
except in the case of mavericks
those cattle that had grown to be
yearlings or over without having
passed under the branding iron-and
these the impartial law Of the time
distributed in proportion to the num-
Der of each herd participating in the
roundup.

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.

sunsd n . Fear In This Csnn-
try and Canada.

Nineteen states and Canada have
within a few years, boosted the oys-
ter industry from something over five
billion bivalves annually to a produc-
ton Of over twelve billion. At the
average retail price Of one-half cent
per oyster, it will be seer that it prob
ably costs us at least $50, 900, oeO per
year to indulge in the luscious sea
fruit, particularly when most of us
have to pay IS cents for a stew" or
shell" Of six oysters, says Harper's
Weekly.
Delaware bay, by the way, has appar-
emily wrested the oyster champion
ship for production from Chesapeake
bay. Therein the oyster grounds cover
over 22O square miles, engage over
600 vessels and employs over 1000 men.
Every acre of Delaware oysters is es-
timated to pay an annual profit of 500,
so your Delaware oyster farmer shifts
contemptuously at his brother of the
OK and the hay. The capital of this in
dustry is fifty called Bivalve, with
Venetian streets, all debouchine on
water fronts, wharf lined, and Gov
cred with steel rails by railways which
wrest what traffic they car from the
sail and steam craft.

OPERATING MARIoNErrEs.

''The ingenuity of some of the han
dlers of marionettes," said a show
man, us incredible. / know a man who
conducts a m~arionette theater, where
in an orchestra of eight pieces plays
under marionette leadership, while i'll
~, boxes a dozen marionette specta-
tors laugh and applaud, and on the
stage a marionette drama briskly en-
acts itself.
The conductor of all this stands, ex-
posed to the waist, at the back of the
stage, and apparently he is motionless,
though really each finger Of both
hands and the majority Of the toes of
bothfeet are working with unexampled
rapidity. For each smarionette is con-
necied by a string with a toe or a
finger of the operator, and this string
sometimes has as many as ten or fif-
teen branches, joined to the manikin's
face, body, arms, legs, ETC., so that it
may dance, smile, wave its arms and do
q number of.other lifelike things. One
OF these figures, indeed, is connected by
80 strings to the operator.

HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
The Medical Department Has Sue
ceeded In Eradicatinx One Of the
Most Deadly of Diseases.

The strenuous efforts of the medical
department of the army have resulted
apparently in the practical eradication
of that trying disease, dysentery,.
which has caused the-American troops
in the Philippines so much suffering
and SO many deaths, says a Washing
ton report. During the campaigning
in the Philippines. as has been the case
in every war, hundreds of men have
died from this disease, and others have
been discharged because of total dis
ability. Dysentery is more prevalent
and sever in the Philippines than in
this country. but the enforcement of
strict sanitary measures, including the
boiling Of all drinking water, rules for
bathing and especially the washing of
the hands before handling food, has
caused the disease almost to disap-
pear.
The adobe ITCH" another disease
which caused the army great annoy
ance, has also been successfully dealt
with. While this disease is not fatal,
it attacks men, women and children
alike. Microscopic examinations and
study of this disease developed that it
was caused by a parasite, as in dysen-
terry, and it appeared that it was COM
municated by the careless methods en-
ployed by the Chi2ese in doing laundry
work. They were in the habit of dry
ing the clothes by spreading them on
bushes and o. the grass. and ironing
! them with q cold iron. Under the be-
lief that the parasite came from the
vegetation, and was communicated to
the clothes from the bushes, orders
were issued that the clothes would be
! hung on lines to dry, and ironed with
hot irons instead of cold. AS a result
Of this practice the disease disap-
peared.
According to reports received by
Surgeon General Forward, typhoid
fever is on the decrease in the Philip.
pines, and when the heavy rains come
on asconiplete, eradication Of this dis.
ease is expected.
