LID OFF AT SARATOGA.

From the New York American.
 There is not a swifter place in the country than Saratoga since the crowds began to pour in. The most uneasy lid in the state of New York, but which, for the two seasons it has been balancing over the village of Saratoga, has seemed to many like a sepulchral stone has come off with boom heard around the sport ing world Like belated imps at the streak of dawn, millionaires, mountebanks, mer- chants, brokers, maids and mothers came rushing, shouting, tumbling into town. They're off in bunch!" is the cry that fits the opening day of the season at Sar- atoga. Like the jumbled, flashing silks of the jockeys when a big field of two-year olds charges under the barrier for six furlong sprint, fashion and folly, plunger and piker, gambler and good thing, top crust and soot on the bottom of the pie pan, slipped under the disappearing moral barrier today in the race for fun or easy riches, to the joyful cheers of the simple villagers in the free field of the town,

NEW USE FOR KEROSENE.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 An extension of the market for kero- sere may be expected to follow the an nouncement that MT. Rockefeller has dis covered new use to which the monopo- lized product may be put. It Is already known to be sure death to mosquitoes if only one can catch the little borers by the wings and dip their heads in the pools that are filmed with kerosene.
 Now it is said that the Rockefeller peo- pie have found that by suspending under electric lights little pans-after the man. ner of oilsups from the lubricating angles of shafts-a neighborhood may be cleared of night bugs of all sorts As 1t is known that many of these are destructive to vegetation besides being general hui sance to the man who takes his vacation on the doorstep or in his back yard, 1t must result that before long the pendant cups will be working their miracles every where.
 The philosophy of the operation Is very simple. The bug makes lunge at the electric light, bats the globe. tumpies into the kerosene, and presto! there you are-he is up against the trust and IS dead one

ee4 Worst of It in Modern Warfare
 Why laps Win.

snecial New York Dispatch in the Cih-
 cinnati Enquirer.
 New York-Attention is called 'o a new development in modern wartare ps a well known American artillery captain now in the city. The captain says the recent fighting in the far east goes to show that the days of tall soldiers are over.
 He Is at great disadvantage in modern warfare" said the captain. "The modern rife has very low trajectory and the bullet of our own army rine' fired point blank with bayonet fixed does not rise above five feet six inches in BOO yards It stands to reason, therefore that a regiment of six-footers mas decidedly poor chance of reaching an en- trenched position as against hve-footers.
 "The war in the east has proved very oonelusiveiv the almost utter uselessness of the tall soldier. Has not the prouu six-foot Russian been literally walked all over?''
 It may be mentioned that this oiticcr is himself small, standing only h,ue over five feet four Inches in height.

Mayor Wards Emergency Quarantine.

Mayor Ward has proclaimed Q strict quarantine against Montgomery while the latter is endeavoring to calm itself. William Minnehett who created the trouble in Alabama was a laborer in a lumber camp at Kentwood on the Mississippi river eighty miles above New Orleans. What route he took from Kentwood does not appear to be known He entered Montgomery on Monday, July "A. On Thursday July 27 he appealed to the mayor for a railroad ticket to enable him to leave Montgomery. He secured it, but he did not use it. On Friday night, July 2S, he was taken ill, and his illness was officially declared to be yellow fever. On Saturday morning, July 20, he was removed to an isolated hos pital. The man is now regaining health. He already has a fine appetite.
 How or where Minnehett took the fever no one seems to know. Did he pass through New Orleans? Did he reach Montgomery via Vicksburg and Jackson? The Montgomery Advertiser is silent on those points.
 Dr. Sanders, state health officer goes out of his way to declare that mo occasion whatever exists for the declaration of quarantine against Montgomery" on account of the wan dering lumber camp man. But Health Officer Sanders was not appointed tc decide such questions, and Mayor Ward has ordered an emergency guar antine pending clearing up and eff fleets of the Minnehett case.

Returns From the West.

John Gaudn, who attended the Knights of Columbus convention at Los Angeles. has returned home He visited San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Salt Lake City and other cities in the far west and spent some time in Colorado.
 T have always wanted to visit Califor- nia," said Mir Gaudin, and now that l have seen that state from San Diego in the south to Mt. Shasta in the north. I am satisfied. While I consider California, s climate ideal, its fruit delicious, and flow CTS beautiful, still when I think of Bir- minghams advantages. realize that this Is the best place after all.
 Travelling Is an education. Besides be- ing much improved in health, l believe l. have profited by my trip because I come back thoroughly convinced that Bir- mingham is the greatest community in America.
 If l were wealthy I know of many attractive places in~ California where I could spend money but if Horace Greeley were alive today and could compare the souths advantages with those of the west he would say Go south, young man.

1 the strenuous Governor Blanchard sayE Mississippi has no Jurisdiction oyer the navigable waters of the United States. The mouth of Lake Borgne Is valuable for oyster culture purposes, ana both sides are laying claim to 1t before the United States supreme court.
 The so-called armed invasion of a sister state is almost wholly of naval nature. Governor Blanchard has order ca the captain of his naval brigade to order a fully-equipped gunboat to the scene of war Mississippi has five arm ed boats patrolling it's coast, including the mouth of Lake of Borgne, and be- hind them the federal revenue cutter Winona looms up. No Louisiana fisher men are permitted to enter Mississippi sound, which extends from Lake Borgne all arong the Mississippi coast. Lousiana's naval brigade vessel is the Stranger, but she draws a good deal of water and Louisiana Is about to dispatch to the mouth of Lake Borgne '1ight-draft" boat carrying Howit- ger or two and manned by her naval brigade. Eighteen Louisiana fishing schooners or luggers have been seized by Governor Vardamans navy assist ed by the federal cutter Winona, and the eighteen have been lowed to Ship Island, where no doubt they will be in- termed during the remainder of the war.
 It is not believed that battle will be fought unless Louisiana can place in Lake Borgne more than Howitzer or two. Admiral Togo's reputation as sea fighter is still secure, but when oyster beds are at stake something may be doing any day. At present Ad- miral Vardaman and the revenue cut ter Winona are several points ahead in the naval game at the mouth of Lake Borgne, in which this district and the Warrior have an interest. Let us hope the lake will not be wiped off the map, for this district needs it in it's future business relations with New Orleans.

Hyaienic Precautions.

Mayor Ward will soon rid this city
 battle with mosquitoes is to be fought
 here later on the cutting of all weeds
 will prove to have been helpful and
 valuable. Let the weed-cutting proceed
 until the last foul growth of the sum-
 mer is eradicated.
 The filling up or drainage of low
 places, in which water stagnates
 should be prosecuted simultaneously
 with the destruction of weeds. We
 wlh then be ready for a tussle with the stegomyia mosquito. So long, how ever. as stagnant pools exist no fight against that insect can be successfully waged. There are perhaps fifty places in this city where water stagnates, and every one of them should be drained or filled up this week. The householder has duties to per form as well as Mayor Ward He will not be troubled by mosquitoes if there be not near his house one or more places in which the female mosquito can deposit her eggs. The places may be, as follows:
 Tn some place of standing water; '1n a cesspool;
 "A sewer inlet;
 "A rain water barrel; "A horse trough; "A roof gutter that is clogged; An empty bottle, An old tin can; Broken crockery that holds water; "A water pan for dog, cat or chicken; "A hole in tree; "A watering pan for birds; "A garden fountain; Any place, in fact where water stands | for five days or more. One tomato can. | in a shady spot, with water in 1t, has been found to breed sufficient mosquitoes to keep family unhappy all summer" If, unfortunately, some of these
 places cannot be got rid of, then use
 kerosene. Cover all stagnant or stand
 ing water with it. A cup full of kero- sene will coat considerable pool of
 stagnant water. The wigglers, which
 would otherwise soon become mos quitoes would thus be killed, and the householder would thus be relieved of the great pest of hot weather. One need not wait to see whether his wig glers are the sort that transmits later
 on the mosquito fever. All mosquitoes are enemies of mankind and in the interests of humanity all wigglers should be killed Kerosene will do it if it be properly and freely applied. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure,

Peace Prospects Doubtful.

M. Witte said before sailing from Hamburg that he regarded himself merely as a courier to carry out the Emperor Nicholas instructions. If this be the situation the peace confer ence will be ended almost before it has been begun. The examination of credentials will be first in order at Portsmouth. and if it be ascertained that Russia's' chief plenipotentiary is but courier, the conference will at once be ended. Japan has all along said that the plenipotentiaries must have plenary powers if negotiations are to proceed. No mere couriers will
 be accepted by Japan which has given
 to her own representatives full power.
 If Plenipotentiary witte has been reported by cable correctly he goes to Portsmouth rs an "imneral courier" to

The Switch Engine.

S. W. Slaton the well known real es- tate man, was stirred up yesterday over the attempt of an antiquated engine to cut him off from his home on the North Highlands. Just as soon as street car," said MT. saton, .'comes in sight the objectionable switch engine at once appears and begins to fiddle on the Nine- teenth street crossing, and it continues to pull empties back and forth wholly re- gardless of a carload of waiting passen- gers in the street car"
 Tt appears to me-" continued MT Slat- on, that the heads of switches should not be placed on or near a busy street that is the Highlands chief outlet and that really leads on to Huntsville as well at to the North Highlands. Either the switches should be reorganized, or else the manners of it's switch engine should be reformed The latter could readily be taught to have some respect for pas sengers in a street car. It should be re- quested to be more active when street cars are not in sight, and less active when they are at the crossing waiting for a chance to get by the switch engine.

New Baseball Bases,

When New Orleans is snugly domi- ciled at Meridian, Shreveport at Chattanooga, and possibly Montgom- cry at Knoxville, the reconstructed league will proceed to its September ending regardless of the stegomyia or any other insects. Possibly, however, Memphis may have to select new home quarters, and then Huntsville or An niston will have chance to witness on the spot fast ball.
 The mobility and accommodating na- ture of the teams of the Southern league promise to preserve the league when it would otherwise go to pieces under the pressure of the mosquito fever Shreveport will lose nothing by accepting Chattanooga as it's new nome. and New Orleans will find Meridian a better ball town propor- tionately speaking than the Pelican City itself. Montgomery would prosper at Knoxville, and thus all things in southern balldom would move along harmoniously.
 The only mourners over the change will be found in the cities that would under the first programme have se- cured extra games played by outside teams, but there is no reason why those cities should be hoggish. If the home teams are strengthened to the point of public satisfaction all will yet be well, and Birmingham certainly will not grumble if it's team be brought up to strength that will assure it fin ish in second place.

FACTS AND FIGURES ON
 DREADED YELLOW JACK

cured in Atlantic seaboard cities as far north as Boston and in the Mississippi valley up to St. Louis
 The most malignant forms of the dis ease were found in Cuba until the Ameri- can occupation conquered the pestilence there.
 The great yellow fever epidemics in the United States were in 179S, 1797, 179S, 1902, 1853, 1867, 1873 and 1877. The last was the most extended. It invaded 132 towns and wiped out 15,934 human lives out of a total number of cases exceeding 74.0O0.
 The first great epidemic of yellow fever started in the northern city of Philadel- phia in 1793 although, of course, its seeds were imported from the south.
 Philadelphia was the capital of the re- public in 1797 and when yellow fever re- appeared there in August of that year there was a general scattering of the de- partments of the government President Adams took refuge at Braintree, Mass; the war office was removed to the Falls of Schuylkill, the treasury to Grays Ferry and the general postoffice to Dunlaps Stables. The office of the Secretary of State was transferred to Trenton, N J., and the heads of the state and postoffice departments went to the same town. The Secretary of War took up lodging near Downington, Pa. and the attorney gen. eral sought refuge in Virginia.
 The Plague of 179S spread from Phila- delphia to New York and the New Eng land coast cities, the mortality all told amounting to 11,OO0. In 1902 the same To- calities were visited and also Baltimore.
 In 1853 an epidemic extended through parts of Florida, Alabama Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, the cen tral points being Pensacola, Tampa. Mo bile, Montgomery, New Orleans, Alexan- dria, Biloxi, Natchez and Pass Christian. This was the first great siege at New Orleans where the mortality was 7970. In 1867 another epidemic extended through out the same territory. but more especial ly in Texas.
 The two last great visits of the plague were the most extended and the most dis astrous in the history of the fever in this country.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
2 Kansas City Star,

From the Kansas City Star.
 Truth may be stranger than fiction, but fiction sometimes anticipates truth. When c. T. Dazey. formerly of Wichita, Kas., wrote In Old Kentucky" and turned his heroine, Madge Briery. into a jockey to save an important race, he merely fore shadowed--or inspired-the act of Mrs. Ada Evans Dean of Worcester. Mass. who mounted her own horse and rode him to victory when her jockey failed her. In this instance truth goes fiction a few points better. Madge. it will be remembered, was a mountain girl, rather accustomed to boys employments, while Mrs. Dean is a society woman, a member of the Grafton Country club, and the owner of fast horses. And to think that Mrs, Langtry. with all her horses, and latterly her need of theatrical advertise ment, never thought of this
