"Duke." as he is called, occupies one OF
the most important parts during the ac-

TO devour young lady who is heir to
large fortune Of which she is kept in

The tramp happens on the scene just as

THE HOOK WORM.
Beard of Health Issues Warning
Against Urcinariasis.

The North Carolina Board of Health
yesterday issued the following circular,
which will explai nitself:
Raleigh, N. c., Jan. IL, 1904
THE Biological Laboratory of the ~ c..
Board of Health has recently received
from various counties IN the State num-
erous samples howing infection by the
Hook-worm paraite. Uncnaria Amcriena.
Some OF these samples came from or
phanages. 1t is considered likely that all
such institutions as we'll as other chart
table institutions in which children are
cared for will show the presence of this
destructive parasite when special search
is made.
Any child or youth who, without any
specific disease, shows great cmacIation
and intense anaemia with a hloodless CON
dition of lips and eyelids may be sus-
pected of harboring the hook-worm. The
parasite is readily conveyed lron person
to person more especially in institutions
without sewerage facilities or where Tic
common type of privy is use and where
flies abound. The house fly is probably
the most important agency in transrn
ting this disease.
When the hook-Worm has become es-
tabllshed IN the human intestine it 5000

Eve suggest that the superintendents Of
all charitable institutions where chill

stefan OF every such institution to make
particular examination of all children
showing any OF the above described in
dications Of uncnariasis. ..,.,lcatlon
should then be made to the Secretary Of
the Boar dof Health for samrlipo out
fits in order that the presence Of the
parasite may be determined by micro
scopic examination by the biologist of tho

vice. But the physician or institution an

The Interfering Husband.

Inc AOterIeTtu8 ktuoUoAAAs
would like to say a word OF two
about the husband who goes beyond
his sphere: many married women Will
know him but too we'll; he may be
called 1.-The Interfering Husband" the
one who will poke his nose into house
hold and domestic matters which in no
way concern him.
He Is a kind Of general walking en-
cyclopedia OH all matters connected
with homework he thinks nothing of
instructing his wife IA to how she
should perform her duties. and, alas, he
frequently goes the length Of lectur-
ing the general on the most trivial
points of housewlfery. No true wife
cares for a husband going about the
kitchen; In fact. 1t Is a kind OF happy
hunting ground for the interfering hus-
band.
He drops In on an afternOon--why
or earth is the door not scrubbed vet?
He demands an explanation. and la
told that the "Missus' said 1t wasn't
to be scrubbed this day.
man. however: he hunts out his wife
and informs her that the kitchen looks
like an old clothes shop; can she not
keep HIS house in clearly state! Is
he to pay for servant standing about
doing nothing. when she might be well
employed scrubbing floors. and so he
goes on.
Such a man Is more than a nuisance;
he Is an infiction, and the household
over which he presides is rarely a hap
py one; 1t cannot be. when the man
goes on like this.
But the same individual won't only
NEEDLE with household affairs; he will
also dictate concerning the children
and this no true mother will tolerate.
Suppose the month Of May comes in,
and is raw and cOld--hnve the children
stopped wearing their winter fiannels :
No Well. they must do so ut once

ought to be the best Judge as to when
the children should put off or on GER

dictates, always interfering with the
wife's duties
Naturally. trouble is ever to the fore;
It could not be otherwise. Suppose
such a man gives his wife a certain

question of time when the subce!ar

Seated upon the end of a box in III ,
darkness, the bookkeeper waited, I'M
certain of the fate that was in store
for him.
There seemed TO be no way of max
ing his position known to the iiremen.
Even if his refuge entirely escaped tn
flames, the fall of some large beam or
mass of brickwork might make it i'm
possible for him to lift the trap and
he would perish miseraby. Alrea iy
the air was growing close But to
open the door meant to admit the
deluge 1t seemed as if he must choose
between sitting and drowning.
Standing once more upon the bricks
he found that the water was far above
his ankles. How deep was the food
overhead! He put the palms of his
hands against the trap and pushed up.

He let the door sink back: the water.

feared. There might still be hope for
him. He decided to wait few min
utes more, and then to stake every
thing on one final effort.
Fortunately for the bookeeper. II
was quick fire. The things that were
most infiammable burned rapidly until
they were consumed. Those that could
he extinguished were smothered by the
hOgsheads Of water poured upon them.
Fortunately. too, one Of the shocks
that he had felt was caused by the
firemen bursting in the door that had
defied him. This gave the flood a
chance to run out of the cellar. so that
1t stood only few inches deep on the
floor. But these things Martin did not
learn until later.
His head was swimming in the close
air; his breath came hard; the water
was almost two feet deep around him.
Now or never was the time to make a
bold dash for liberty. Standing square
ly under the trap. he suddenly thrust 1t
up as high as he could. 1t lifted three
or four inches. struck against some uu-
yielding substance. and fell violently
back. Drenched by the sudden thrush.
and with strength exhausted, Martin
dropped across the boxes.
But help from without was at hand.
A fireman standing with lantern close
to- the broken door noticed in the black
water near by Il swarm Of air bubbles,
and then a line Of little whrlpoOls
formed by the liquid flowing down
round the edges of the litter trap.
There was n rumor that man had
been heard shouting for help shortly
after the cOnfiagration started Could
1t be that he was in the cellar and
still alive?
The aid Of a second fireman was in
vOked. and the two moved aside a
heavy beam which had prevented the
trap from being opened more widely.
A little probing in the black fluid
brought to light the ring Of the door.
The two lifted it, and there. leaning
against the wall below, knee-deep in
water, stood Oliver Martin. draggled,
haggard, painting for breath. saved as
by miracle from the fire that had
ragged two hours above him.--YOuth's

PAY FOR RIGHT TO VOTE
Many Delegates to Mining Congress
Become Full Members.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 25.-The re-
port of the credentials committee
made to the American Mining con-
gress this morning shows that 1908
accredited and appointed delegates
and members are entitled to repre-
sentation and participation on the
floor of the convention. 1t was ex-
pected that the committee would pass
upon the voting of proxies, but no
mention was made of that question.
the committee not conceiving that it
was within it's jurisdiction to pass on
a legal point. 1t was decided on legal
opinions obtained from eminent au-
thority that under the charter of the
congress proxies cannot be voted and
that only members are entitled to
vote which with full membership in
attendance would reduce the voting
strength to about $40. Ruling that
cannot vote disqualifies from partici-
patton in the vote today nearly 700
persons who would otherwise have a
vote Many of these this afternoon
paid their fees and dues as members
and will register their votes as mem
bers.
The Denver delegation which also
embraces the Colorado delegates from
outside the capital are greatly in evil
dence today prepared to put up a
strong plea for the selection of that
city as permanent headquarters of the
congress, which matter is to be the
sole business of the afternoon. Salt
Lake has covered the balcony of the
big auditorium with glaring banners
setting forth the freedom from labor
troubles, central location. mineral
production and other advantages
claimed for Salt Lake.
President Richards, of Idaho, will
probably be the president of the
congress for another year as no other
candidate for the place is mentioned.
While not seeking the place he will ac-
cept because of his desire that the ad
shall close with the record
of having placed the organization on a
sound financial base with facilities at
its headquarters for furthering the
practical mining efforts of prospectors
and mine operators and in a. position to
advance in an organized manner the
purposes for the establishment of a de-
partment of mines and mining.
