Inveighed Against Him.

New York, Oct. 7.-Congressman e.
J. Hill of Connecticut was the prin-
cipal speaker at to-day's MONDAY
meeting of the Commercial Travellers
League. The address dealt with the
technical side Of the money question.
Mr.. Hill expressed distrust of the
Democratic party under Southern domi-
nation as custodian of the national f.
nances, saying
This nation owes an everlasting
debt of gratitude to Grover Cleveland
for putting through the repeal of the
silver purchase clause of the Sherman
act In '93. and the mere fact that
1t was carried through the Senate by
Republican votes ought not to detract
one iota from his credit, for it was
an administration measure, and from
that day to this, the Southern Democ-
racy, the dominant and controlling
force in the party have exhausted the
language of invective in their denun-
citation of the only President whom
they have elected since the Civil War"

lowing statement concerning the fire
last night on the battleship Kansas. In

There was positively nothing sais-
picious about the fire on the Kansas.
AS a matter OF fact, these blazes are
not unusual and can hardly be pre-

CURE FOR FLEAS: A PET DOG.
omciaI Advice on n Domestic Prob

Washington. Sept. 1O.-Are there
fieas in your house? The Agricultural
Department, which takes an interest
in all such things. will not be sur
prised If there are. for epidemics Of

other cities.
According 10 the way one Of the ex-
perts Of the Bureau OF Entomology

ly 20 occur In warm. damp weather.
The dampness moistens things that
the young fieas like to eat, and when
there Is an excess Of summer humid
ity they thrive. When the summer is
dry they die.
Fleas are pretty nearly everywhere
In summer. They are found indoors
az well as out. The idea that their
presence Is due TO dogs. cats or other
pet animals isn't entirely correct. In
fact. strange as Il may seem. the
nuisance Is much greater I'm a flea in
ficted house that doesn't harbor a dog
or a cat.
There is a philosophy in this. Fleas
prefer the lower hairy animals TO hui
man beings, and when any OF the for
mer Is around they are likely to let
man alone. A government official who
thinks that he has solved the fles
problem had this to say on the subject
In the light OF a pretty thorough
knowledge Of the habits Of the pes
tiferous insect.
The young heas feed on blood.

Agricultural Department how to ex-
terminate them attribute the presence
Of the insects to pet animals. At this
season Of the year, when people are
coming back to the cities from sum-
nlering places, the complaints are most
frequent.
The usual statement of homecomers
is that they find their houses full Of
fieas. Each supposes that the pet dog
or cat, which has been away with him
or has been boarded out while the
house was closed. brings the pests, and
the poor animal is forthwith given
or sent away.
The explanation of those who have
studied the matter Is that. while the
original presence Of the neas In the
house may have been due TO the dog,
their numbers ana ferocity are not due
to his return, but to his absence When
the house Is closed, the f1eas, not hav-
ing animal blood to feed upon, sub
sist as best they may.
Moist weather keeps bread crumbs
and bits of food overlooked I'm the
house cleaning In soft condition, and
the fieas feed upon them. When the
family returns, and finding the house
ovefrun with fleas, gets rid of the
dog the wicked biters naturally at
tack the humans. Then the Ag-
ricultural Department hears cries for
help.
The way to get rid of feas is to
keep pet animals in the house, the ex-
perts say. A dog is probably better
than a cat. for his body usually pre-
sents larger surface for the fea's
purposes, and his scratches are more
vigorous than cats. SO there il a.
greater supply OF fresh blood for the
younger insects.
This curative method is a little hard
on the dog, although David Harum said
II was good thing for a dog to have
a limited amount Of fieas II they kept
him from brooding over the fact that he
was a dog.

MODERN NAVAL FIGHT
IS HARD ON NERVES.

Cheliabinsk, Russia. Oct. Capt.
Andreiff, of the Russian armored
cruiser Rossia of the vladivostok
squadron, passed through here on oct.
6, on the way to Eastern Russia. He
is suffering from an acute form of ner-
vous prostration, the result of the ter
rifle tension during the naval fight
with the Japanese fleet under Admiral
Kamimura. The same ailment affects
many of the wounded, who are being
invaded home, and who look like liv-
ing corpses.
1t seems impossible for the nervous
system to recuperate from the awful
strain to which it is subjected in a
modern naval battle.
