Moaauftolesa Cities.

Over In Europe there are many hap
by towns where the note Of the mos
quito Is never heard and the inhnbi-
tants don't care a snap about the pen
nyroyal market. But In America the
cities which can claim to be mosqui-
toless would not run up to q dozen.
Denver Is one Of them, and. strange to
say, Grand Rapids. Mich, only short
way from the gnat Gshsnnas OF Lake
Superior, ls another. The explanation
is that the city is built on hillocks Of
drift sand 80 deep and so finely pull
verified that they absorb moisture like
tissue paper. staS,ant water does not
get a ghost Of q chance to accumulate,
and mosquitoes have carried their car

Great Discovery.

The editor of a Kansas paper states
that he once borrowed a Winchester
rife and started up the street a few
days after to deliver the weapon TO Its
owner. The delinquent subscribers got
1t into their heads that he was on the
warpath, and every one he met Insisted
on paying what he owed him. One
man wiped out a debt Of ten years
standing. On his return to his office he
found a load of hay, fifteen bushels OF
corn, ten bushels of potatoes. load OF
wood and a barrel Of turnlps that had
been brought in. We would like to
borrow Winchester for a day or two.

Professor Wilhelm Wundt. the IA

Why does water put out fire? Water
reduces the temperature Of the fame

CoERCED INSURANCE AGENTsp
Investigation as to the Truth Of the
Charges Being Made.

NEW YORK. October 27.-Much secrecy
surrounds the investigation now being con-
duced by the district attorneys office with a
view to determining If the coercion charges
against the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany warrant immediate presentation to the
grand jury. The investigation has been In
progress for several days and Assistant
District Attorney Smythe said today that
it would be continued next week. It was
said that several former territorial man
ayers of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany who claim that they were forced out
OF these positions because they would not
devote their efforts to election of the ad-
ministration ticket have been questioned by
the district attorney.
Edward o. Sutton Of Springfield, Mass, a
former agent who claims to have lost his
position because he refused to support the
administration ticket, was in conference
with Assistant District Attorney Smythe
for more than an hour today.
Col. Biscoe Hindman of Louisville, KY;
Fred c. Paige of Detroit, Thomas Peid
Fells and Herbert Fells Of New York are
among former agents who are said to have
furnished affidavits to the district attorney
on the subject.

GREETED BY FRIENDS
AdoIphus SoIomons' Birthday
Anniversary Celebrated.
NUMEROUS TESTIMONIALS
Genial Host INDUCES in "reminiscences
of Early Washington.
RECALLS DAYSOF A. R. SHEPHERD
Once Declined the Office Of Governor
of the District, rendered by
President Grant.
RECALLS pAYsoF AR. SHEPHERD

The celebration of the eightieth birthday
anniversary of Mr.. Adolphus 8. Solomons.
in his cosy home 1905 K street northwest,
did not conclude Friday, the day which
marked his arrival at the ripe age Of four
score years, but 1t was continued through
out yesterday This was due to two causes,
one of which was the original intention of
Mr. Solomons' daughters to celebrate the
event quietly in the family circle with but a
q few intimate friends besides the imme-
date relatives present. Consequently no
public announcement of the matter was
made nor were any formal invitations Is
sued.
The second and eliminating cause was
that when the fact OF the celebration did
become public the legion of friends Of Mr..
Solomons commenced assisting him to cele-
brate, and to keep II up. With the wealth
of flowers and other pretty growths in the
rooms at the Solomons' home last evening,
there was an inclination on the part Of the
callers to imagine they were In some sylvan
retreat in the summer time
The testimonials received by the vener-
able host came as a total surprise to him
and friends were preparing such splendid
testimonial for him. The truth only dawned
upon him, II was said, when his daugh-
tiers babe him leave his library and usher
ed him into the fower-bedecked apartments
