The MotherIn-Law Of the Navy.
New York Times.l
The. appointment of Arthur l.. Bates,
Of Pennsylvania, to the Naval Affairs
committee Is because Of the fact that
Erie, the only port in his district, is
the motherln.law Of tbeinavy.'@ AT
least, that's what the officers call her.
The cid cruiser Michigan, now
named the Wolverine, goes into win
ter quarters there every year from No.
vember till May. She has done so
every year since 1874. The officers
have nothing 10 do all winter except
to court the Erie girls, and the result
ing havoc Is terrific. An amateur sta
tisticlan looked the matter up year
ago and found that 81 commissioned
officers had married Erie girls, to say

who always succeed in getting them
selves well placed He has never been
identified with anything stupid and he
always has plays which seem specially
adapted to his uses. He is a comedian
Of original methods and much magnet
ism, and he is also a generous providel
in the matter OF company and produc-
tiOn. The public is used to seeing him
always as the center Of the picture,
but is also compelled to admire the
frame thereof.
The coming play tells a whimsical
story of an office boy, whose Identity be-
comes confused with that OF n
jockey. By musical comedy methods
this hypothesis is worked out into va.
rety of farcial situations, which
reach their height when the Office boy.
in order to carry out the deception, is
obliged TO ride vicious race horse.
The unfolding Of the plot is said to be
accompanied b. lot of bright music
with many of the most effective sings
falling to the lot of Mr.. Deshon.
The supporting company includes
Marie Barry, katherine Nelson, late
with Paul Edward in "Winsome Win

ian Wayne, Leona Wicker Howard
Chawners, Percy Leach and a great
many others.

OPPORTUNITY
IS AT HAND

One Of the necessary enterprises
which would greatly increase the
trade of our city as we'll as be of great
convenience to the ranchers living
east and south Of here in the Bear
Paws, is the construction of a tele-
phone system connecting Havre with
the ChinOok-Clear Creek telephone
line at Yantic, fourteen miles east of
here
Provision should also be made for
establishing suitable roads leading in
to Havre from the south and south
east, and if anything is accomplished
in that direction this year, it will re-
Quire q united effort on the part OF
our business men. The roads leading
into Chinook from the south are all
graded and in condition for hauling
large loads into that town, while the
roads leading into Hayre have been
neglected, making it almost impOssi-
bic for the farmer to haul any kind
OF load over it, whOWOuld otherwise
bring his produce to this city and do
his trading here.
The energetic business men of this
city should make an effort to extend
our trade TO that section of the cOun-
try by taking the matter up with the
county commissioners with a view to
accomplishing the desired results be-

PROF. KocH's DISCOVERIES.


Berlin, July 5.-The Cologne Gazette
prints extracts from private letters
written by Prof. Robert Koch, who
went TO German East Africa at the end
OF 1904 for the further investigation Of
certain tropical diseases, showing that
he had already made important discov-
cries in connection with the tsetse fly.
The professor found. the breeding
ground of the fly and says they can be
rendered harmless through simple
means.
Prof. Koch made the still more i'm
portant discovery that trypanosomata
microbes, which are present In sleep
ing dropsy. exist in the tsetse fly. He
further discovered In April last that
the relapsing fever is transferred to
men through a small sand tick. These
discoveries are regarded here as Of
great scientific Importance,
The professor visited the Uhehe tab
leland which be found to be temperate
and salubrious and highly suited to
European settlement. .1'
