TO ExTERMINATE THE RAT.
80 Cents Head for Female Rats
Killed and 25 Gents for Males.

Killed and 20 Gents for Males.
In the Middle Ages with their Pied
fipers of Hamlin and other wizards
who relieved rat-ridden communities
of their scourge through the pleasing
agency OF music, which has charms
for the rodent as we'll as for the
human ear, they managed things bet
ter and certainly moro picturesquely,
but for present day condition little
Denmark is acquitting itself with
honor and efficiency in the campaign
against rats, by which the kingdom
where once there was something
fot L. has been convulsed for the last
four or five years.
San Francisco has also entered on
a battle royal against the pests. Since
the devastating earthquake Of April,
1905, the city has been fairly over
run by rats, and so unbearable has
the situation become In its menace to
healt', chiefly because of the spread
of bubonic plague, that the municipal
authorities recently offered bounty
&C 80 cents head for female rats
killed and 25 cents head for males.
1t was Mr.. Zuschlag, a distinguish
ed civil engineer G Copenhagen, who
first deserted the rat peril and in
eloquent accents warned his fellow
countrymen against the danger to
their pockets and their persons OF
longer supinely submitting to pay the
onerous rat tribute He pointed out
that the rat kingdom yearly raised n
tax of two million dollars upon he
industries of the country. while the
indirect losses, the exact figures OF
which cannot be ascertained. are, as
he demonstrated, clearly enormous.
1t is no longer as It once was.
crusade of individuals, but one which
has received the sanction of law and
of parliament. A State grant for
large sum was voted out oc
which two cents is paid for every rat
tail produced. An extra levy Of
about a dollar upon every commuri-
ity of one hundred inhabitants has
also been ordered to enrich the cru
saje, and this they will each and
every one have to pay until the head
inspector of the rat control service dc
clares the neighborhood free of rod
ents.
The figur by which Mr.. ZuschlIg
has at last proved to the satisfaction
OF his countrymen and the law max
ers Of his native land that the loss
by rats in Denmark alone amounts
to over two million dollars sheuld
prove mighty interesting reading IN
theso days of hard times ami urgent
retrenchment. To begin with. Mr.
Zuschlag makes no attempt to es1i-
mate the damage to the field crops,
but merely seeks to find out the dlm-
ag" done to the grain after 1T is
housed in the granaries and man cells

depredations obtain in America, cnd
Mr.. Zuschlag thinks they do, the

In making marlualades and but

Raspberries SHOULD never be set

the berries will be crowded together.
Instead, spread them on platters or
large plates, and they will keep
longer and in better condition.

Corn drops are delicious; try

AS TO RACIAL EQUALITY.

In these palmy days of reform and
faddism of every sort one hears and
reads of the expression of some
mighty fooIlsh opinions, but one
of the rankest cases perhaps was
that of the cosmopolitan dinner IN
New York, a few days ago, in which
whites and blacks were assembled
together around the festal board
and in the enthusiasm of the &C.
casion freely endorsed racial equality
and intermarriage between the
Caucasian and African races. Many
wealthy white girls were present
and the arrangements were so made
that in being seated at the tables
each white girl was placed along
side a colored man. The most ultra
sentiments concerning iItermarrl-
age of the races were given voice,
one speaker declaring 1T the only
true solution of the race question.
There doesen't seem to be much
limit to the lengths some of the rich
maidens of the fashionable set In
eastern cities will go on the marri-
age question, but this is Gel tainly
about as extreme as it can be made,
and such acts as were reported at
this dinner are calculated to undo
much that has been done in past
generations for the negro and set
back the hands of progress meal
culably.
Col Henry Watterson, the vigor-
Gus old editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal, makes some cut
ting comment upon this affair, as
might be expected. He is reported
as saying:
IT don't object to intermarriage
between certain blacks and whites.
There are some women in the
world who would probably be
happier with negro husbands than
with white. They would feel more
at their ease, more at home. Such
women should be allowed to mate
with monkeys if they please.
'Intermarriage between the races
may be good idea-for New York,
which is ultra provincial and ignor-
ant.
However, it would not be good
idea for Editor Holt and his negro
loving satellites to it talk very
much in Kentucky"

Obituary---Anton Schmitt.

Anton Schmidt, whose death was
chronicled in last Saturdays Her
aid, was born in the village of Dex-
bach, Grand Duchy of Hesse, Darn
stadt, Germany, Nov. 4, 1880. In
March, 1851, he was married to
Miss Elizabeth Briel, of the same
place and in 1854 they emigrated to
America, coming to Lancaster on
June 10 of that year. Mr.. Schmitt
was a miller by trade, his father
haying been engaged in the same
business many years before him.
In 1855 he purchased from J. Allen
Barber farm and grist mill COM
monty known as Grant Mills. He
operated both farm and mill until
1863 when, on account of failing
health he sold the mill and moved
to Lancaster. The following year
he engaged in the general merchan-
disc business, which he carried on
here and il Fennimore. He was al
so for a time proprietor of the
Phelps house popular hotel of that
period.
In the meantime he had pur-
chased % acres of land adjoining
the east part of the city where he
built commodious residence and
established a vineyard and gave
considerable attention to orchard1ng
aud the cultivation of small fruit.
Mr.. Schmitt has long been known
in this vicinity as one of the most
