 The persistency with which the newspapers and correspondents stick to the misconception that the lady al- luded to is the widow of General Wade Hampton Is another evidence of the long life of an error, and we suppose this one will never be corrected. The explanation of The Standard. however. is not much of a defense of the Presi- he subscribed for a copy Of the much discussed book. If that pa,,er is right the President gave a repr. sentative of Town Topics full liberty to print what they pleased about him, and if that is the case he would not have made mat ters much worse ny becoming a sub- scriber When he took the bride off," so to speak. or authorized an agent of the publication to do 1t, he might as well have put his name down for Q copy.

A Treatise on Mosquitoes Wanted.

EultOE ne AuNeTtI5tI.
 Just at this time much is being said throughout the country In relation to the scourge with which some portions of the South are threatened, and the mosquito theory comes in for discus others believing in 1t. to this fact, and to urge some gentle man. a medical gentleman. will prob ably be the man. to give the people swering, if he will be kind enough to do so, some of the following inter- rogatories:
 Is the mosquito theory generally ac- cepted by the medical profession throughout the country?
 If so, how long has 1t been accepted as a correct theory?
 What brought about this theory. and what experiments have been made. testing it's correctness. and how were these experiments made, and by whom, if known?
 Even though the mosquito theory is generally accepted by the medical pro- fession, would 1t not be well to ob- serve methods formerly in use to pre- vent. if possible, the spread of the disease? .e~
 If some gentleman, who is well up on the proposition involved in this lit tie article, will give the people an ex- haustive treatise upon the subject. 1t would tend largely to satisfy the pub lie. and to cause people generally to take all necessary steps to destroy the pestiferous little villain?

To There . Quarantine Against Louis-
 ianas


 Editor The Advertiser:
 May I trespass upon your indulgence to rise to a point of inquiry? By whom can a place be quarantined? Is there at present a quarantine In Ala- bama against any part of Louisiana except New Orleans? If so. by whom was 1t ordered? Can a quarantine of- ficer stop, in other words, a person coming into Alabama from any other point than New Orleans?
 Enquirer. IAs we understand the law of Ala bama. the Governor alone can proclaim quarantine. The Board of Health has the power to make recommends tions but the law does not vest in 1t the power of declaration. which is an executive function.
 Inasmuch as Governor Jelks has not issued a proclamation of quarantine against the State of Louisiana. there Is no legal quarantine in force against that State as a whole. so far as Ala bama Is concerned.-Editor The Adver- tiser.1

Cemetery srosouitos.

A Montgomery lady makes the time ly and thoughtful suggestion that the city sanitary department in it's cru sade against mosquitoes can find field for good work at Oakwood Cemetery. She suggestes that if the inspectors are looking for mosquitos to extermi- nate the best place to find them Is in the confines of the cemetery.
 She draws attention to the fact that there are probably more vessels con- taining stagnant water in the ceme- tery than in any other place in the city. These vessels and receptacles have been placed there for the purpose of holding the flowers put upon the graves of the loved ones. These flow CTS are in a measure kept fresh by the water in which they have been placed. The water in many instances is per mitted to stand and become stagnant. furnishing breeding place for mos quitoes. If these receptacles were kept free of water during the present critical time 1t would be a benefit aud an aid in the communitys warfare against the dangerous mosquito.
 She also points out that flowers can be left upon the graves of loved ones and preserved with perfect safety. This can be done by placing the stems of the flowers in dampened sand.

Decadence in Criminals

T have often wondered why in these days of invention we do not have the ingenious criminals that a century ago and less infested Paris and London" said a citizen yesterday who is som.- what of student of criminolog. Some may say that I am misled by the fiction that was written so pro- fusely about the penetrating crime of the early nineteenth century. 1 don't think this will stand for the reason that the true history of affairs will re- veal the existence of more cultured criminals in the period following the inQuisition than are now in Paris. The same may be said of London Besides, the fascinating novels that have been written of detective work in that time have taken many of their cues from the actual archives of the police.
 T repeat. therefore, that it is a lit tie strange that the intellect is far less evident in the world of crime now than in days bygone. The advances that have been made in science, inven- tion of all kinds, including marvellous means of communication that were unknown to Moriarty and the crimi hals opposed to Monsieur Lecoq. all should appeal to an army of masterful thieves and murderers. 1t seems to me. But not so; 1t is due, perhaps, to moral education. It may be explained by the uncertain theory that as time pro- gresses the people in defense of life and property reap the benefit of inven- ton. and not the criminals"

Dog Days Weather |.

This time of lhe year Is most !ap- propriately called dog days" said the cycical observer yesterday about D. m. when the sun was beaming upon this old world of ours in its most pat ronizing way. and precipitation was rolling off his face and down the in side of his collar. They are certain ly not the sort of days for man to live and only dog could be expected to endure them. Even the dogs go mad sometimes and bite people, and l get so all-fired hot sometimes I feel like biting somebody myself.
 There Is one virtue of the weather however, that should not be overlook ed in criticising 1t. IL Is either con sistent sunshine or consistent rain. It seems to run on a schedule of hot as blazes during the morning and up to about o'clock when 1t gets a little bit hotter and fumes itself Into a thunder storm. The lightning and thunder scare everybody that has sense enough to get out of the rain. indoors when the windows are necessarily closed to keep the wind from blowing great sheets of rain into the room. Then It's fine; the room has been heat ed all day long by the steady flow of sunshine and when the breeze is cut off. you just shelter and that's all"
