Washington, March 25.-The com

confined in the Senate to the discus
sion of the railroad rate question

.DO NOT CREDIT REPORT

1t is Generally Admitted that the l. &
e. Has Been Sold, But Not to
Pennsylvania System as Was Re-
ported Saturday.

The report that the PENNSYLVANIA
lines has secured control of the Indi-
annapolis & Eastern and the Rich
mond Street & Inteiurban is regarded
as the widest sort of fabrication by
local railroad and traction officials,
who say they never heard of such
a move. 1t is said that the report
was sent out from Pennsylvania
brokerage office, but there is nothing
to show that this is true.
1t has been known for several
weeks that the l. & K. and the r.. S.
& I. have been absorbed by a large
corporation, along with many other
interurban lines in the middle west,
and that the D. & w. refused to sell
to the concern. 1t is possible that
the Pennsylvania railroad was the
corporation back of that move. but
the idea is secuted by the local Of
ficials.

and Thousands Of kilograms of
Sympathy Received.
TPublishers' Press1

Columbus, O., March 25.-Steady
Improvement is the general tenor of
the official bulletins issued Sunday
concerning the condition of Governor
John M Pattison.
For forty-eight hours the governor
has been gaining much needed
strength and 1t was with ill-concealed
Joy that Secretary Houck announced
tonight to the watchers in the exec
utfve chamber that the governor had
spent a comfortable day and that his
condition was more encouraging than
at any time dnriug the past four days.
He said the governor had eaten three
meals. that his mind was clear and
that he conversed with members OF
the family as long as the physicians
would permit.
If he can carry himself over to-
night without any unfavorable COM
pIications, he may ward off what now
seems the inevitable.
Public interest in Governor Patti
sons condition is remarkable. Today
in all the churches of the capital city
and in many others throughout the
State, prayers were offered for his
recovery. The Ohio colony in Wash
ington received buietings al day by
telegraph and telephone and hun
dreds OF private kilograms from all
parts of the county poured in during
the day.
The legislature stands ready, when
the signal is given, to suspend busi-
ness and adjourn In order that he
may be removed from environments
that are far from satisfactory to him
self or his physician.

Indianapolis, March 25.-Nothing
whatever was accomplished todey in
the struggle for settlement or dis
solution of the meetings of the min
ers and operators which have been
on now for a solid week Indications
tonight are that the meetings will
adjourn not later than Thursday and
that in some way a settlement is go
ing to be made.
How this will be done is hard to
tell. 1t may be made through further
intervention by President Roosevelt.
Certain it is that both operators and
miners have expected intervention
ere this. A strike commission SINH
lar to the anthracite commission OF
three years ago would be welcome by
the miners and by the operators too
if the latter could be assured that an
award could last five or six years
Msy Ask Extension.
There was a well-founded rumor to-
night that the miners would ask the
anthracite operators for an extension
of sixty days in the present award sc
that the first of April would not bring
suspension in mining in anthracite
districts.
The most positive assertion made
today is that the railroads are putting
up every effort to break the miners
union. They will try. too, until they
do it, so prominent railroad official
said today. He came to spend the
day talking with his friends among
the operators and to bolster up their
courage against Re bbins, who repre-
sents the steel corporation.

A Million or More of Deaf Mutes.

: Recent estimation places the num-
! Der of des.s mutes in the world at
more than 600. This great
number of human beings, living a
life which normal person cannot
conceive, is destined to increase be-
cause OF the tendency of these peo-
pie to marry persons laboring under
the same disability.
Examination of the records of
$500 marriages of deaf persons
shows nine per cent. of the children
to be deaf, while only one-tenth of
one per cent. of the offspring of an
equal number of marriages of normal
persons are likely to be afflicted with
deafness. Deaf parents whose rela-
tives are not deaf run no greater
chances of having deaf children than
persons who can hear, but in the case
of normal persons in whose families
there are members who are deaf the
danger of deaf children is, according
to Professor e: A. Fay, who has stud
led the question, just as great as
among deaf people.-New York

To Get Rid ofsthe Fly

lie Matin, of Paris, has offered a
prize for the best method of getting
rid of house flies. The offer has
drawn forth an essay entitled DE
lenda Musca, which processes to give
a method by which the pest may be
destroyed. The remedy is not sought
in fly papers or fly traps of any kind
The breeding places of the insect
must be sought out and the evil dealt
with there. =
The writer of the essay tried mix
ture of soda and chloride of zinc, US
ing eleven pounds to thirty-fve cubic
feet of ma serial. This was found eff
fective, and it is recommended for
closed tanks, but not for places where
the poisonous solution could drain
away. Petroleum at the rate of
about a quart to every eleven square
feet of surface was also tried, but
the effect was found not to be suf-
ficiently lasting. Coal tar was found
to give better results. Raw petroleum
or raw schiet oil-the residue in dis
tillation-was found to give the best
results. About two quarts of this
mixed with water were used for every
square feet Of surface. This forms
stratum of oil in the drain or over
the surface of the solid, which effec-
tually prevents the development of
the egg or grub. And this protective
coat of oil, it is further pointed out,
facilitates the development of anaero-
bic bacteria, which Hquify the solids,
and so render them unfit breeding

One day, while lounging in an out

of some renown, who had summered
so many years in Venice in the pur-

canal and hidden history were known
to him. ..s~..e

ment, to come forth at the witching
hour of night and practise his black
art on the sensibilities and supersti-
lions of these foolish Venetians, who,
with all their charm. are but children

was frightened. I can see it all.
They call him the mad violinist--

There are two kinds of sweet pota-

in price is much greater than in quail
ity. Jerseys are high, largely because
they are well established and care
fully handled. These potatoes are
handled with care and run about the
same size They are also a little
brighter in color than the other, but
those who have used both say the
eating test finds them not very far
apart. The Virginia sweets come. all

when offered for SALE Sometimes
they are about the size of turnips and
rather coarse. Then the difference is
made up with a lot of little ones. But
they are cheap cheaper than ordinary

sanitary laws, and UNMARRIED mQnot-

dren, fabby, yellow, pallid, with old
faces, and you will be told that this is
malaria. But it is the frying pan.

their meals on fruits, clean vegeta-
bles and cereals, and within a year S
