THE AUGUSTA HOUSE,
Possibility That It May be Opened to
Public, for Winter.

y rumor has been in circulation il
the city. to the effect that there Was
a probability that the Augusta House
might be opened to the public within a
short time, and run through the winter
and with Il view TO aScartaning the
truth of the matter. 4 Journal repre-
sentative called upon Mr.. II. r. Capen
the proprietor of tie house, yesterday
afternoon.
In response To IN inquiry as to tho
truth Of :he rumor. Mr.. Capcn said
that u',rc was some foundation for the
story being circulated. as the matter
of opening the house had been men,
toned to him. but that as yet nothing
definite had been decided upon.
He further said that some of the
citizens had asked him to open the
house for the winter, and that he would
like to do 50. but Of course it would
depend upon the Inducements which
would be offered. There would be no
imduc"mcnt in running the house at n
loss. but if enough regular boarlcrs
We're secured for the winter. the house
would undoubtedly be opened.
1t is understood that quite Il num-
Der Of people have already Signifi"d
their desire to secure quarters at the
house for the winter. Mr.. Capcn will
be at home until the end of next week,
and if he receives sufficient induCcmcnt
in the way of applications for board,
the house will. without doubt, be

is in the matter OF shipment of birds

did not allow a non resident to take
any birds out of the State. but now ne
can take 10 partridgas. 10 woodcOck
and 10 ducks. which he has himself
lawfully shot. to his home by attach
ing tag from his license to them.
This is "a concession that is believed
will be greatly appreciated by the
hunters from other s-atts.
The reports which Colnc in from al
n,rts of the State Indicate that game
i to be very plenty. and that the fall
shooting season will prove to be of a
degree of excellence that has never been

THOUSANDS KILLED
BY THE HOOK WORM.
AWFUL DEATH RATE IN PORTO
RICO CAUSED BY DEADLY
PARASITE.
Worm Gets Into Mans Intestines and
Sucks Up His Blood-Red
Corpuscles Exhausted.

New York, Dec 31.--A letter to The
Herald from Maj. l.. l.. Seaman, NJ. d.,
who has been privately investigating con-
dtions among the inhabitants of Porto
Rico. states that the high death rate
there and the anaemic condition of the
rural population are due to the so-called
book worm. known to science as "anky-
lestoma duodenalc," which was recently
stated to be highly prevalent in the south
crn states and all tropical countries.
When fully developed the worm some
times attains "A length of three-quarters
of an inch. Treatment of 1900 cases ana
exhaustive investigation by a medical
commission show, according to Maj. Sea
man, that the disease produced by the
worm has caused more than 80 per cent.
Of the deaths in Porto Rico.
The parasite is really bloodsucker. It's
development requires about two months
and its work in the intestines has been
found to greatly reduce the red corpuscles
