Another Full House Greeted th
 Olympia Opera Company.

Another Full House Greeted the
 Olympia Opera Company.
 The same thing happened at the Pickett Springs Casino last night. Ev- cry seat in the little summer playhouse was filled by an audience that over whelmed the players of the Olympia Opera Company with its enthusiasm.
 La Mascotte" was repeated and the opera was produced in good style. Mr. Eagleton, the big comedian of the conn pany, was in fine form and the audi ence is laughing yet at his wftticisms. MT. Adde was close behind him In the fun-making. p
 The solos of Miss Young and Miss De Val were enjoyed greatly and the chorus again delighted the patrons of the house by their good singing and their excellent training.
 The music of the orchestra was again n feature. Under the skillful direction of Mir Raymond the score Is played like 1t should be played. No little of the success of the entertainments be- ing put on at the Casino is due to this Mir Raymond. the musical director of the Olympians, and an accomplished musician.
 "The Circus Clown" will be the bill for tonight.

THIS WOMAN HAS A REMEDY.
Cure for Yellow Fever O6ered to the
 Acting Mayor.

AGttNE AA4yOks
 A woman in Sylacauga has heard that yellow fever lair ragin'" in Mont gomery and she writes to the "citty mayyor" to tell him she has an infal- lible remedy for 1t and to offer 1t to the city for a moderate price.
 The letter was received yesterday by Acting Mayor Mcintyre. It is quite a literary gem. The Sylacauga woman was misinformed as to the yellow fever situation in Montgomery. She is on a hopeless quest when she seeks to sell Montgomery a remedy for yellow fever. for even If the city should ever be un- fortunate enough to harbor another refugee with yellow fever, the disease would be fought out on the stegomyia mosquito theory. The Sylacauga cor respondent of the Mayor ayers, how ever. that her remedy was the only one which stopped the fever in her home town when 1t prevailed some years ago. She does not in the least indicate the nature of her remedy, holding that in- formation in reserve until the negotia- tions have gotten under way.
 Her letter in full Is as follows:
 Sylacauga, Ala.S, Aug. 2l, 1905.
 "citty Mayor Deare sir I here the yell low fever air ragln in yiure citty. If so how much will you give me to stop 1t. My remedy is cheap and simple. It is a good healthy remedy for eny clus- tered up citty. am poore old woman and I think that a citty could afford to give me a little amount while 1t pays the Drs so much and can't stop 1t. My remedy was the only thing that stopped the yellow fever in my home citty meny years ago.
 If you appreciate this make me answeure."
 The Acting Mayor will make her an answer that her remedy is not desired.

 titfon and Executive Ability Was Needed.

seagirt, N. J., Aug. 24.-The opening session of the military rifle tournament here began promptly at o'clock this morning and ended at SOS this even ing. The attendance broke all records.
 As regards the business of the day, the range was absolutely overwhelmed with competitors. So many rifiemen engaged in the strife in the national Individual match that the executive of- flcer through his adjutant felt com pelled to post a request that those par ticipants whose scores in the earlier stages indicated that they had no hope of winning a prize should withdraw in order that the match might proceed more expeditiously.
 At Fort Riley, Kas., the scene of the national competitions in August last year 1t was with difficulty that thirty six competitors, the minimum number allowed by the conditions. were secured for the national individual match. when the bugle sounded this afternoon 657 .riiemen. a good sized regiment, report ed at the firing line. Management and executive ability of high order were essential to handle the vast throng.
 The excellent showing of the mem bers of the United States Corps of Ca tets. from West Point. was a feature of today's firing. Although 1t is the first time the West Point Cadets have participated in the competition at Sea girt, they conducted themselves like veterans and made some remarkaoly fine scores, several of them being among the leaders in the stages Of the match completed to this time.
 The Hawaiians attracted much atten- tion on the firing line today. They exhibited the keenest interest in what they were doing and intend to engage in all the individual matches tomorrow afternoon, in which they are eligible. Only twelve of the 65T competitors In the national individual matches finished firing today. Their scores follow:

 The program called for two Long Talks" one by Henry Englehardt and the other by Dr. Thomas Nj. Owen. MT.

Ar ter alluding briefly to the history or the various Indian tribes taken col leCtively Dr. owen paid tribute to the high character of the Indians who formerly peopled Alabama.

 Perhaps q hundred red men enjoyed the supper and all were agreed that the evening had been ', delightfully."- spent.

 Public Health and Marine Hospital
 Service. Office of Medical off1cer
 in Command.
 New Orleans, La, July 31, 1905. MT. E. F. Kohnke. President,
 New Orleans Board of Trade,
 City. Dear Sir:--
 "Referring to your letter of the 29th, requesting my reasons for not consid- ering 1t necessary to disinfect freight of any character. have to say that these reasons fall under several heads.
 "I assume that everybody knows the fact that yellow fever Is transmitted solely by the moskuito, from one man to another man. We must, therefore, consider whether or not, our infected mosquito is likely to become an inhab- itant or a passenger in freight parcels The particlar mosquito transmitting this disease is one of the most easily de- structible of these insects, being killed Ay a very slight pressure.
 "In freight parcels of any sort, mosquito in a box would unquestiona- bly be caught and crushed during the jostling in transit. Again. remember that freight packages originate in warehouses and factories and stores, which places are not the habitat of sick people, and the infected mosquito will therefore not be found insuch places.
 'It is a conceivable fact that a mos quito from a sick room might drift into the street, but the habit of this mos quito in so doing, Is to seek the first clean water to lay its eggs and then die .>--: ".>-~. 7, --
 Tt Is extremely improbable that she w.la ,f business, (warehouse or factory) rath- CT than to seek a congenial pool of clean water to deposit her eggs in ac- cordance with natures provision in her case. "Referring to more special cases, namely commodities such as sugar cof- fee and rice in bagging, l have to say. not as a matter of opinion, but of real knowledge, that such articles as these above. will in the very handling, abso- | lutely annihilate any mosquito which may have sought refuge in the crevices of the bagglng. The weight and shift | ing character of q bag of coffee or su- gar is an absolute guarantee of the de- struction of this little insect. the first | time such a bag is thrown to the floor of a car or roughly handled on a truck There is no possible way in which yellow fever may be transmitted other than by the mosquito, and freight can not, under any circumstances. be infect ed in this way. but only so far as 1t might become the residence of any kind of mosquito. much less the infected mosquito, whose presence in business and manufacturing establishments would, in the nature of things, be very remote contingency.
 we fumigate empty cars starting from any point near to infection in or der to kill mosquitoes.
 Yours truly.

 There is very general cry that chii- dren are becoming every day less child like, that they are being pressed far be- yond their strength. Of course. the ia. natics tell us that 1t is not so. that all tnis outcry is the outcome of misplaced sentiment and of ignorance of the true inwardness of educational methods. But this we know, that forced minds are very like forced dplants-curiosities, per hans but not such as the experienced ctitIvator keeps as stock" Nature Is very Jealous for her nurslings.

Soldiers to Sing Patriotic Songs.

When the Twenty-First Infantry
passes through Honolulu on the next
transport for San Francisco, the people
here may expect to hear the men sing
ing patriotic songs. This is an inno-
walton which the new bandmaster at
tached to the Twenty First has begun.
1t is done in most of the armies of
Europe, and for some time has been I'M
der discussion by the officers of the
TwentyFirst which is now stationed at
the Preside. 1t has finally been decided
that it is advisable, and every man,
whether he has been blessed with a
harmonious voice and correct ear or
not, will learn the songs of his country.
This is considered an especially good
idea, as the regiment will leave in a
very short time for the Philippines, and
it viii probably be one of the features
of the trip of the transport on Feb
ruarv LIST to hear the Twenty S
soldiers sing their newly acquired pa
triotic songs.
