NEW PEST ANNOYS CITY.
MOSQUITOES Come to Torture Those
Who Would Escape from Heat.

The host of white moths which interested but
did not seriously afflict New York last week
seems to have been succeeded this week by an
unusual plague of mosquitoes All over Man
haitian and The Bronx last night the mosquitoes
were as thick as babies on the East Side. and
thev bit ferociously. Patients Of hospitals in
lower Manhattan greatly annoyed and
tenement dwellers who sought relief on the
roofs from the heat and dense humidity were
driven back to their sweltering rooms to escape
being eaten alive. In downtown restaurants the
mosquitoes had fendsh way of preying in the
dark, under tables, and dining upon the patrons
ankles.
There many explanations of the
mosquito plague as there were of the moths of
last week. Some said the farmers brought the
pests in their loads of garden truck, while
others said they were due to the recent rains
following the dry spell.
In The Bronx the dweers there reported in
addition to the savage mosquitoes the arrival
OF q vast horde of black bugs, about quarter of
an inch long. humpbacked, with a sort of convex
top which they couldn't classify, but which they
said had a bite than the mosquito.
The patients at Bellevue Hospital suffered
more from the mosquitoes than they did from
the heat There are no screens in the hospital
windows, and though a valiant nurse stood at
each window waving sheet they ducked and
lodged in by the thousands until the walls of
all the wards were literally black with them. In
the alcoholic ward pink, green, blue maroon
cerise, scarlet and Lavender mosquitoes were
seen.
After the nurses had given up trying to drive
out the insects, they hurriedly got a plentiful
supply of antiseptic gauze to spread over the
faces OF the patients scattered oil cf penny

in the least-and lighted Chinese joss sticks

Penance For Discourtesy.

Nicholas L, car OF Russia, was the
type of an absolute aristocrat. The
succession Of terrible wars which
clouded his reign did not tend to soften
his disposition or to render him less
imperious. But, rough and harsh as
he was, Nicholas had measure Of
chivalry in his disposition. He would
not tolerate under any circumstan
an insult offered to woman. AS the
car. was driving through the streets
Of St Petersburg he caught sight of
an officer Of his household in the act
Of upsetting an old beggar woman
whose hands were raised in a prayer
for aims. The official was quite un-.
mindful Of the august witness Of his
act and was rather pleased when, a
few hours later. he was summoned to
the imperial presence. Nicholas soon
undeceived him and in the presence OF
dozen courtiers cut him to the quick
with his indignant reproof.
'sEnough!" said Nicholas finally.
