NEW MOSQUITO ExTERMINAToR
is Advocated BY DR.. ouitman Kohnke,
Health Officer of New Orleans.

The proposition to use top min
nows in stagnant pools in the place Of
oil to destroy the yellow fever mos
quitoes and prevent their breeding is
advocated by Dr. Quitman Kohnke,
City Health officer of New Orleans
In an interview he said he contemplat.
ed asking the United States govern
ment to establish at New Orleans a
breeding pond for top minnows to be
used for stocking stagnant water
about the city. DR.. Kohnke said:
-@@TSpzninnows are more efficient as
mosquito destroyers than the gold
fish, which is reported to be Kidding
the water of mosquitoes in Hawaii.
In stagnant water l believe minnows
are better to use than oil, which is
spread over the surface of the water.
At the present time in the city's drain
age canal there are sufficient minnows
to destroy all wiggletails which will
develop into mosquitoes. Frequently
some one calls attention to the impor-
lance of oiling the surface of these
drainage canals. This is absurd, as
on account of minnows the canals are
not breeding mosquitoes. Top min
nows breed so rapidly that, if properly
handled, the supply can be made al
most inexhaustible" The city of
New Orleans at present is spending
$50, 900 in a campaign against the
mosquito pest, cutting down weeds,
drying up stagnant water pools and
oiling wherever ponds do not rapidly
evaporate.-Galveston News.

DEMOCRATIC.
The King Makes a Republican Out of
4 Monkey So the Boy Said.

It was the last day of school in a
certain country district, and their
mothers decided to take the twins to
the entertainment that night at the
school house. John and VIII were
six years old, but had never gone to
school, and their spirits ran high when
they heard the news. In the course
of the entertainment there was a play
given entitled. "A Modern King" In
one scene the king was sitting on his
throne with one of the common people
kneeling at his feet. While pouring
forth his praises to the ruler, the
grateful man said: Good, oh mighty
king. what hast thou done?" And the
reply was: Il have made a republic
out of a monarchy"
The boys were so well pleased that
they attempted to reproduce the play
at home the next day. John dressed
in bright colors to impersonate the
king. and VIII assumed the role OF the
subject The play proceeded well
enough until the kneeling passage was
reached. Then the subject exclaimed:
God o mighty king! What hast
thou done?"
And the kingly answer came: 81

monkey "-Holland's Magazine.

Further Evidence in Hearing of Pe-
 tition for New Trial.

New York, Feb. 2O.-The hearing on the petition of Lawyer Patrick for new trial was resumed to-day.
 Thomas F. Jett of Houston, Texas was called by District Attorney Jerome. Jett said that Jones told him that neither he nor Patrick was responsible for the death of Rice. Jones told him that Rice was used to taking medicine of his own accord and that Patrick had never told him to administer chloro- form. The witness then added that Jones said that he had put the blame on Patrick to save himself and that if Patrick .was electrocuted, an innocent man would suffer.
 Jett testified that he once served a two years sentence for forgery. He then left the witness stand and was replaced by Henry J. Moran of Hous- ton, Texas. Moran admitted that he had been arrested on charge of va grancy and when asked if, when the charge was dismissed it was not upon ais promise to leave the town, he said, Well, I was going away anyway.
 He said that he knew Jones well, and that the former valet of Rice had told him that neither he nor Patrick was responsible for the death of Rice. Jones told him also that he was so bounded by the police in New York that he put the blame on Patrick tolsave himself
 Robert Lee of Houston who testified yesterday was recalled by MT, Jerome, He said he had known valet Jones since March, 1905, and that the latter had told him Patrick was not guilty, and he hoped he would not suffer.

 Paris, Feb, Notwithstanding the renewed strain in Franco German rela- tions growing out of the Moroccan question, public sentiment here remains entirely calm.
 The journals of this city, including those in the governmental interest, bit terly attack Germanys course in the Algeciras conference. They agree that France has reached the limit of her concessions.
 However, there is no recurrence of public excitement over possibilities of war. Even the sensational newspapers made no allusion to war. La LIberte alone says: While France wants peace she does not want the govern nlent to show weakness before the in flexible and almost humiliating pre- tensions of Germany"
 The comparative steadiness of the bourse to-day also indicates a disposi- tion to phiIosophically accept the events at Algeciras.

All whiskey Is an artificial and not natural product and he said 1t is not fair to compel distillers to make public their formula for fiavoring whis- key as this is trade secret and has nothing to do with the purity or im- purity of the product so far as whole someness Is concerned.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION
Weaver Men Defeated-women Elected
 i'm Philadelphia.


 Philadelphia, Feb. 2O.-The spring municipal elections were held to-day throughout Pennsylvania. Ideal wealth. CT prevailed and a heavy vote was cast in many localities.
 Philadelphia elected two magistrates, seventeen select and fourteen common councilmen, twelve school directors in each of the forty-three wards, consta- bles and division election officers. There were quite number of arrests made for illegal voting.

MAY DooM CONFERENCE.
Germany's Refusal to Grant Frauce's
 Special Interest.

AIgerciras, Feb. 2O.-The Moroccan conference delegates are very pessi- mistic over the results of the negotia- tions. Germany's reply rejecting the French proposals for policing Morocco adds that Germany is ready to examine any other proposition France may wish to make, but the French seem not to have any further propositions to pre- sent.
 The deadlock is upon the following specific points:
 Germanys reply declared for the in- ternationalization of Moroceo's police, and the absolute equality of all nations in Morocco.
 The French absolutely refuse these principles, considering them in nega- ton of the special rights which France has acquired as the Algerciran neigh Dor of Morocco and of her predomin- ant position in northwest Africa.
 The French view is that the German reply leaves little hope for the success of the conference. Some of the prin- cipal delegates declare that the failure of the conference is now inevitable. However, the deadlock is confined to the private F'ranco-German exchanges, and 1t remains open for the conference to consider the subject, although there

MINE WORKERS STILL
 DISCUSSING DEMANDS
COMMITTEE THUS FAR HAS SET- TILED ON 0NLY TWO sTIPU-
 LATIONS.

 These the Eight-Hour Law and Recon
 nition of the Union--BeIief That the
 Miners Will After All be Satisfied
 With q Renewal of Present Agree
 ment--Joint Conference of the Min
 ers' and Operators Committees Next
 Friday or Saturday.
 New York, Feb. 20.-The United Mina Workers committee of seven. chosen IA revise the anthracite miners demands. was in session again to-day, at the Ash- land house. The committee has thus far settled upon only two stipulations-- the eight-hour law and recognition of the union. Other demands are gtill be- ing discussed.
 As to the board of conciliation, in- stead of asking for the formation of three district boards. the comrnittee will simply express its objection to the present board and suggest new ar- rangement. It is not likely, however. that the operators will yield anything on this point, as they are bent upon continuing the present plan.
 It is evident that, while the members of the Mine Workers committee are busy formulating their demands, they will be satisfied if they obtain rensw- al of the existing agreement. They do not really expect to gain the extensive demands they have talked of. The op- erators' committee will probably meet here on Friday or Saturday, when the next joint conference will be held.
 John Mitchell was asked this morn ing if the recent decision of the United States supreme court declaring it to be a violation of the interstate commerce. law for railroads to deal in commodities which they haul, referring particularly to the coal-carrying companies, would have any effect upon the possible coal strike. He replied that the decision would have no effect upon the action of his committee, for he could not tell how far-reaching the effects of the decision would be. Mitchell declared that there have been no communications between the Mine Workers committee and the I operators body of seven since their conference last Thursday.

Her sister boat, the Shark, which began tests at the same time as the Porpoise, was sent over the course for an extra eight hours to-day to com- plete four-days' test. The experi- ments were made for the purpose of learning how far the submarines could run with gasoline in case the electrical engines broke down. Later, when the proper apparatus arrives, this craft will be given trials when submerged. It is not expected that the results of the experiments will be made public, at least for some time,
