4 FAMOUS VICTORY.

A famous victory Cor one that will be famous) of modern sanitary science over malarial conditions is reported by Dr. Malcolm Watson, district surgeon, in the British settlements of Klang and Port Swettenham, in the Federal Malay States. Klang is 8 town which had a population of 3.576 in 1901; and Port Swettenham, situated only five miles away, on the mouth of the Klang river, is closely connected with Klang and contains population which is mostly official, and numbers about 700. In 1900 both were hotbeds of malaria. Dr. Watson doubts whether more than three out of 293 houses in Klang es- capped infection with malaria during the last four months of that year. Port Swettenhan was opened in September, 1902; within two months of which date fl out of 49 government quarters be- came infected, while 11S out of 196 gov- ernment servants were attacked before the end of the year. Owing to the rec concentrations of Dr. Watson, measures of drainage were adopted, similar to those which have proved so beneficial in Havana and Ismailia. swamps were filled up, jungle and urldergrowth clear ed, and a counter drain constructed round the declivities in order to inter- cept incoming springs. Moreover, s9 per cent. of the breeding places of ano- phele were destroyed. The region is now comparatively healthy. Cases of malaria have declined from S4 per cent. to less than one per cent. of the popu- lation.. pr. Watson can find no evi- dence of any immigration of mosqui- toes from the pestiferous areas adjoin- ing into the drained spaces of the set clement. -.,s

entertainment of prominent men be- longing to the local posts. Invitations were sent to many officers of such posts. Of course, there are posts made up of colored men. as well as of white men. Of course, invitations were sent to the commanders and other officers of these colored posts. It appears that some of the members of the Ladies Auxiliary. learning that coIored men had been invited, protested. As re- suit it is asserted by the eolored veter- ans that the Secretary of Grant Post wrote to them withdrawing their in- vitations and advising them to remain away from the fair. Mir. Pierre Zeno, commander of Lloyd Garrison Post. was one of these men whose invitation was thus withdrawn. Chaplain James A. Tappan. of Henry Ward Beecher Post. was another man who suffered a like indignity. Another eolored man who had received an invitation. but no letter withdrawing 1t, undertook to go to the fair in the line of march with his white brethren, and was told that he had better withdraw. Three other in- vitations were withdrawn.

NO PLACE FOR THE COLOR LJsI

Brooklyn has become distinguished, and inn not a very enviable way, by the action taken by officers connected with Grant Post, of the G. A.

A prominent citizen of Kansas writes to Postmaster General Cortelyou, tell

'.The birds are singing in the caves and talking to one another of love. The pigeons are rehearsing those spring time capers by which they win their mates, and those fowls of shanghai ancestry that have played such a noble part in the prosperity of Knasas are glossing their feathers for season that may again inspire the muse of Coburn to give us another poetic volume on the Kansan hen.

The commercial agencies and the trade papers that have been investigat- ing the cotton, acreage this year agree that the reduction is not likely to be Iarge- The governor of Texas corrob- crates this view. A fact which is of importance because of the large figure cut by the Texas yield in the regular total. Of the thirteen and half mill lion bale crop of 1904 the Lone Star state produced nor than three million bales; the yield there this year may go even above that amount, and in no case seems likely to fall much below it. A considerable reduction in acreage in less productive states will therefore not very greatly reduce the total.

From what I hear from person cer- tainly likely to know what happens at the Russian court, says Henry La bouchere in his London paper, T be- lieve that all the stories of the Czar's depression and despair are false. On the contrary, he follows his usual avo- cations and nothing that has transpir- ed seems to have had any effect on his spirits.
