PNEUMONIA'S DEADLY
GRIP ON NEW YORK CITY
Fatalities for One Week Aggregate
364, and the Health Depart
ment Is Alarmed.

NEW YORK, Jan. u.-Deaths from pneu-
monia in this city last week, aggregatng
S64, are causing the department of health
to adopt energetic means to check the
progress of the disease ''In my opinion -
said Commissioner Darlington, of that de-
partment, 1.-The habit of eXpectoratng in
public places has much to do with bringing
on the disease. Last weeks increase in
deaths from that cause, nearly 100 more
than for the corresponding week last year,
is positively alarming, and L have taken
measures TO try and keep the disease from
spreading

Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, better
known as Boss Quay, and generally
credited with having run things In
Pennsylvania for the last quarter of a
century according to his pleasure, is
dead. That he was boss in that State,
though, for years does not concern the
people of the South and cannot make
them forget that which was good in
his life. Whatever his faults or virtues,
the fact that he fought with German
to kill the last Federal force bill that
was seriously considered by Congress
and fought it to its death, is enough
to make us forget his faults or cover
them with a mantle of charity so
broad, that we will not consider them
in the estimate placed by us upon his
life and character. He could not have
taken this stand against his party un-
less there had been much good in him.
He could not have thus espOused the
cause of the South unless knowing 1t
to be right, he dared to do right,
whatever his constituents might think
of him and however much they might
criticise him for it, For this service, at
least, whatever his faults, he must
ever be remembered with gratitude by
the people Of the South.

A dispatch, sent out from Washing
ton last Sunday, shows that partridges
are great friends of the farmers, that
they have reason to be thankful for the
laws enacted by the different Legisla-
lures of Virginia in recent years for
their preservation and that it is to their
interest to see that these laws are bet
ter enforced in the future, instead of
poking fun at them and cOndemning
them as they have done in the past.
The dispatch says:
The ornithologist of the Department
of Agriculture have been making an
investigation of the economic value OF
the bob white, or partridge, as a result
of which it is now announced that that
bird is probably the most useful species
Astounding on the farms.
Fielding, observations, experiments
and examinations show that it con-
sumes large quantities Of weed seeds
and destroys many of the worst insect
pests with which farmers contend, and
yet it does not injure grain, fruit OF
any other crop. 1t is figured that from
September LIST to April Both annually
in Virginia alone, the total cOnsump-
ton of weed seed by bob whites
amounts to 573 tons. Some of these
pests which it habitually destroys, the
report says, are the Mexican cotton
bOll-weevil, which damages the cotton
crop more than $l5, 0O0,( a year. the
potato beetle, which cuts off SIC, 900, 600
from the value of the potato crop;
the cotton worms, which have
been known to cause S30,0OO,OOO
loss in a year; the chinch bug and the
Rocky Mountain locust; scOurgges
which leave desolatiOn in their path
and have caused losses to the extent of
800, 900, 900 in some years. The report
urges measures to secure the preserva-
ton of the bob white in this country.

The limit for the announcement OF
Democratic aspirants for Congress
from the FIRST District having expired
and Hon. William A. Jones being the
only one who submitted his name as a
candidate at the primary election to be
held in July, no primary is necessary
and he is again therefore the nominee
of his party. This makes the eight
time he receives this honor without OPP
position, and it looks as if he had a
lease upon the office which will only
terminate at his pleasure-and this Is
perhaps,as it should be MIR. Jones has
been faithful and efficient representa-
tive and ought to be able to render us
better service, if continued in office,
than one with less experience in the
affairs Of the nation could give us.
