DR.. OUIT1AN kOHNkE HAS A
,, NEW SCHEME AGAINST
MOSQUITOES.
MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OIL
Stock All Stagnant Water ReceptaCieS
With Top Minnows, Which Will
Destroy Mosquitoes More Effective
Iy Than Oil, Without the Disagree
able Effects.

New Orleans, a, July Ii
The proposition to use top min
nows IN stagnant pools in place
of oil to destroy yellow fever mos
QuitOes and prevent their breed
ing was advocated today by DR.
Quitman kohnke, city health Off
Ger of New Orleans. In an inter
view, he said he contemplated
asking the United States govern
ment to establish at New Orleans
a breed-for stocking stagnant wa
ter about the city.
DR.. kohnke said: "Top min
nOws are more efficient as mosqui-
to destroyers than god fish which
it is reported are ridding the wa,
ter of mosquitoes in Hawaii. In
stagnant water | believe minnows
are better for the use Of oil which
spreads over the surface of the
water At the present time III
the city's drainage canal there
are sufficient minnows to destroy
all wiggletails developed into mos.
quitoes. Frequently some one
calls attention to the Importance
Of oiling the surface Of these drain
age canals. This is absurd. On
account of the minnows the canals
do not breed mosquitoes. Top
mlnnows breed rapidly so that if
properly handled the supply can
be made almost inexhaustable."
The city of New Orleans at pre-
sent is spending $50, 600 il a cam
paign against the mosquito pest,
cutting down weeds, drying up
stagnant water pools and oiliEg
wherever ponds DO not readily
evapOrate.

of $50 4 yearJ
He Fallo{ was one of those
dealers, aoodfna but he wouldn't

The meters for the New Iberia
Electric Light Plant will not be
put into service until about OctO-
Der lst. The reason for this Is IN
the fact that many Of the stores
merchandising establishments-of
the town are now on rate made
On an average of a twelve months
service. To change over to met
ers at this season, when the lights
would not be used by this class of
business houses, on a meter basis
till the full business opens up
would mean that the plants reve
nues would suffer considerable
depreclation. Therefore, the met
ers will be held back till the stores
will remain open for longer hours
IN the evening. necessitating the
use of the lights. A surprising
feature in this connection is the
fact that the stores of Main street
do not contribute over S12j per
month to the plant for their light
service. When it is considered
that most of the merchants are
carrying lights in their showwin-
dows, which they would not dis
pense with, meter or no meter, 1t
will be seen that the deductions
would be small even if made now
but the idea is to make the change
at a time when the plant would
show a gain instead of loss how
ever small in it's monthly receipts.

conduct it that 1T will become a

The New Iberia National Bank,
according to the sixteenth annual
Roll of Honor of the National
Banks of the United States, care
fully prepared from the report of
the Comptroller of Currency,
stands first among the Louisiana
banks and enjoys the very high
position of twelfth in the United
States.
This position on the Roll of
Honor was based upon the fol
lowing coINlIIoilS.

These very credible figures are
the result of practical system
and oneness of purpose. First
in it's home city, first in its home
state. and twelfth in the United
States on the Roll of Honor, is
its attainment. To hold these
positions of city and state, and
to reduce the Numbers above it

legitimate purpose and future

timated that only 5000 barrels of oil

the tanks, will amount to about $751;

/. IHAW WAS SWIFT
HARRY has A RIC0RD As FAST
SPfNDER OF MONEY.
His Family, Who Live in Pittsburq,
Are Rich-Harry Was Black Sheep
Of FamiIy-Few Of His Escapades
Given-Had to Go to Paris to Spend
Money Fast Enough.

Harry Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White in New York recently, has a
record as spendthrift that few young
men. or older men, for that matter.
have eQualed.
Harry Thaw's family is among the
most wealthy people of Pittsburg. His
father was, at the time of his death,
a multimillionaire, who had made his
millions out of manufacturing indus
tries. Hundreds of the most valuable
acres in and around Pittsburg belong
ito the Thaw family, says the Chicago
Tribune
The Thaws are of Quaker origin,
and most of the members of the fam
lily adhere to the traditional religion
of the family. Harry Thaw has been,
since his early youth, the black sheep
of the family. When the elder Thaw
came to dispose of his millions pre-
vious to his death he cut Harry off
with s25eO a year because Of his way
wardness. Mrs. Thaw later remedied
the discrepancy in the young mans
financial expectations by making him
an equal sharer with the other heirs
in the estate, thus insuring him an
annual income of $4,000.
After he came into his patrimony
through his mothers generosity Harry
Thaw cut wide swath in certain So
ciety circles of Pittsburg New York,
London and Paris. He was known as
q Cnnndnr hnfnrn hn loft Diftchttru for
New York. When he arrived at New
York he set himself the task Of main
tanning his reputation and succeeded
beyond even his expectations. Here
are a lew things he Is accredited with
doing after his arrival in New York:
the middle of the day when Broadway
was crowded from curb to curb.
He threw a theatrical performance
into panic by throwing bottles at a
soubrette who didn't sing to please
him.
He caused the proprietor to close up
famous night restaurant an hour
earlier because he stood on a table
and threw IS bills to all the walters.
He went to the Waldorf one night,
sat by himself at magnificent table.
and ordered $50 dinner. When 1t
was finished he sent for the chef and
gave him $25.
One night after the theater, when
he found his cabman asleep, he got
astride Of the horse and drove the cab
and the sleeping cabman through the
most brilliantly lighted thoroughfares
of New York.
When woman's eyes pleased him
he would send a pair of rubies to
match them. or emeralds, or sap
phires. as the case might be.
He made 1t point never to tip a
waiter less than IS, no matter what
was served.
Thaw couldn't spend his money fast
enough in New York, and SO sought a
more expansive field for spectacular
extravaganza in Paris. He succeeded
so well in the gay French capital that
in single night he sprang into fame.
He gave a dinner in midsummer to
about 25 women. 1t cost $4,000. 1t
made Paris sit up and gasp.

before the greatest crowd that ever

ward won, but Yale rowed a race

start, but until the last sixteenth Of
mile did the shells cease to lap each
other. The men in the rival boats
could see each other for more than
three miles and half, as first one

his crew. Harvard won the race by
less than two lengths and half Her
time was 23:02; Yale's 23:11. While
the crews had the tide with them
they had a brisk quartering wind,
which made fast time impossible The
record for the course is 20:10, made
by Yale in 1883.
The race between Harvard and
Yale crews was the 10th that has
been rowed between the two big uni
versities, and the score between the
two now stands: Harvard Is, Yale
%. The first race was rowed in 1852
and was won by Harvard. In the last
20 years, however, Yale has won all
but four races, Harvard winning in
1885, 1891, 1899 and 1906. The record
time over the four mile course at
