dition gives his medical advisers much
anxiety 1t is persistently asserted
that he is suffering from an affection
which entails, among other things, to-
tai abstinence from the use of tobacco

last few months. The best informa-
ton is to the effect that his majesty
is suffering from phlebitis of the leg,
following a hunting accident.
The king is unable to walk even a

Big 5rutes Are Used to Lift Streetcar
Wreck.
A New York dispatch says: When
two trolley cars crashed together on
Sixth avenue at Forty-second street,
near the Hippodrome, they blocked
the street and tangled up traffic. A
press agent saw his golden opportun-
ity and ordered his Hippodrome ele-
plants to the rescue.
Many persons were slightly bruised
and cut by the flying glass, but all
were extricated without much trouble
from the wreckage except Hugh Kier-
nan, who was. held a prisoner under
the trucks of two cars.
At a word of command from the
trainer the four big brutes bent down
their heads, got their trunks under
the wreckage and brought the trucks
up about six inches and the man I'M
derneath was dragged out and hurried
off to the hospital. His right leg was
crushed, The elephants also moved
the wrecked cars around out of the
way so that street traffic could be re-
sumed, and then walked in a single
file back to the show house.

boy about years old, and injured
him about the head. Though the boy
was not seriously hurt his face was

Matters reached a very critical stage
and Mr.. Vanderbilt, believing that the
lives of the party were in danger,
drew a revolver
Before he could use the weapon,
however, several men jumped into the
automobile, disarmed Mr.. Vanderbilt
and kicked and cuffed him.
By this time the police had become
aware that something unusual was
happening and a party of gendarmes
hurried to the scene to protect the au-
tomobilists. Owing to the fury of the
people, he.off1cers took the Vanderbilt
party into a neighboring shop for
safety.

MINNoWS TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES
New Orleans Health Officer Says Fish
Can XIII Yellow Fever
TransmItters.

NEW ORLEANS, July 27.-A proposition
TO use top minnows in stagnant pools in
place of oil to destroy yellow fever mos
quitoes and to prevent their breeding was
advocated today by DR.. Quittmsn Kohnke
health officer of New Orleans, in an inter
view. DR.. Kohnke said.
Top minnows are more efficient as mos
quito destroYers than the gold fish which
are reported as ridding water of mos
quitoes in Hawaii. In staRnant water
believe that the minnows are better than
the use Of oil, which spreads over the
surface Of the water. At the present time
in the city drainage canal there are sufh-
cient minnows to destroy all the wiggle.
tails which develop into mosquitoes. The
top minnows breed rapidly, so that IL prop
eTtly handled their supply can be almost
ineXhaustible.
The city of New Orleans is at present
spending 10000 in a campaign against the
mosquito pest. cutting down weeds to dry
up stagnant water pools and oiling wher,
