New York Starts War
 Upon the House Fly Pest

War of extermination upon the fly has been declared by the Merchants Associations committee on the pollu- ton of the waters of New York. It Is war without mercy, and the com mittee Is taking steps to spread the campaign to every section of the city.
 Thousands of pamphlets have been issued and notices placed in stores and public places, telling of the insidious dangers of the fly. It Is described as the most dangerous insect we have. It is more dangerous than the bee or hornet, the committee says, for while the bee and hornet may sting, the hurt is temporary. The fly may bring contagious disease from which the per- son infected may not recover.
 Edward Match. Jr.. is chairman of the committed, and the other members are J. Pierpont Morgan, Dr. Albert Wander Veer, John Y. Cuyler and Dan iel D. Jackson.
 Reading matter which the committee has had distributed warns the house. keeper to take every precaution to keep the fly out of the home. The fly is to be kept from the siekroom. It Is to be kept out of the stable. It is to be deprived of access to the garbage can and the manure pile.
 Warning to Children.
 One of the pamphlets issued by the committee is directed especially to the children. This is what it says of the fly:
 They walk over places like sewers and garbage cans, and. after eating the filthy food they find there, they come into your house and walk on the food you eat, carrying on their tiny feet the germs which live in the filth. Many of these germs cause typhoid. cholera infantum and summer complaint. You may swallow these germs, and be talk en sick with one of these diseases.
 "Your parents should place screens ~ "h"'- doors and windows during the .ara Jeather, to keep the flies out of the use. If they cannot screen all the 'ooms, they should screen those in w hich food is kept. If any one is < in the house files should be kept from the sick room. so that they may

not carry germs from the sick person to the rest of the family.
 Children should not buy candy, fruit or other food which Is left in front of stores or anywhere where flies may feed and walk on 1t. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in stable manure, and if this is left without screens or other covers to keep the files away, great numbers will be matched in every stabIe."
 The committee gives a cheap pre- scription which will kill flies. This Is solution of formaldehyde. two tea spoonfuls in a pint of water. This should be placed in plates or saucers throughout the house. Ten cents worth of formaldehyde will last an ordinary family all summer. It has no offen- sive smell. Is fatal to disease organ isms. and is virtually non-poisonous, except to insects. How to Check the Pest.
 Following is list of rules which the committee has published:
 Keep the flies away from the sick, especially those i'll with contagious dis eases. Kill every fly that strays into the sickroom. His body Is covered with diesase germs.
 Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises.
 All refuse which tends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding straw, paper waste and vegetable matter. should be disposed of or covered with lime or kerosene oil.
 Screen all food.
 Keep all receptacles for garbage carefully covered. and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil or lime.
 Keep all stable manure in vault or pit. screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or other cheap preparation.
 Cover food after a meal; burn or bury all table refuse.
 Screen all food exposed for sale.
 Screen all windows and doors, espec- ially the kitchen and dining room.
 Don't forget if you see flies. their breeding place Is in nearby filth. It may be behind the door, under tine table or in the cuspidor.
 If there Is no dirt or filth, there will be no flies.

But Germany has thus far had a cinch on the colored postal card trade. Tor even American publishers instead of doing their own printing and litho- grahping. have found 1t more profitable to place orders direct with German houses However. the new tariff bill puts tax of a quarter of a . cent on the cheaper foreign qualities and a higher rate on the more expensive and artistic ones, in the expectation that the business will hereafter be done by American houses. It is safe to say that Americans buy 2,500,0O0, 900 postal cards year-twenty to twenty-five for each man, woman and child in the country. More than half of these are of Sthe picture variety.

Curious Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life is
the sofar, or whistling tree, of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree
1t gives out f1utelike sounds. playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies. 1t is the
spirit of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the sci.
entific white man says that the sounds
are due to myriad of small holes
which an insect bores in the spines
OF the branches. The weeping tree Of
the Canary islands is another boreal
freak. This tree in the dryest wealth.
er will rain down showers from its
leaves, and the natives gather up the
water from the pool formed at the foot
of the trunk and find 1t pure and
fresh. The tree exudes the water from
innumerable pores at the base of the
leaves.

IRELAND'S GREAT
OPPORTUNITY
MANIFESTO BY JOHN e. RED
MoND, LEADER OF THE
IRISH PARTY.
TO AMERICA
ONLY LORDS VETO STANDS IN
WAY OF HOME RULE
FOR IRELAND.

London.-John f. Redmond. leader
Of the Irish party, has forwarded a
manifesto to T. p O'Connor, president
of the United Irish League of Great
Britain. who is now in New York, ad-
dressed to the friends of Ireland in
the United States and dealing with
the British political crisis
Redmond congratulates O'Connor
on the success of his mission in Amer
lea and expresses the gratitude of the
Irish party at the warm response OF
the American people to Irelands ;,p-
peal. The manifesto says:
Never has the situation confront
ing Ireland been at the same time
more critical and more hopeful"
Then. outlining the broad principles
of the struggle that has arisen be-
tween the house of lords and the
house of commons, 1t continues:
AS between the two great English
parties in this contest. the Irish party
for 130 years has such an opportunity
been offered to Ireland. The lords
veto has been recently described by
Rosebery and Lansdowne as the only
remaining safeguard against the
granting of home rule to Ireland. All
that is necessary to enable Ireland to
profit by this opportunity is that the
unity, discipline and efficiency of the
party be maintained.
But the Irish party is threatened
with grave danger. Against it are ar
rayed great and wealthy interests and
Unionists have declared their inten-
tion of naming candidates in every
constituency in Ireland with the
avowed purpose of exhausting the
party's funds. This policy was tried
against Parnell in 1856 and failed ig-
ANONYMOUSLY, thanks to Americas gen.
erosity SO far as voting is con-
cerned, it will fall more ignominious-
ly now than in 1886, but the extra eX-
penditure involved will severely tax
the party's resources. We therefore
would welcome the ever-generous sup
port of our friends in America and
trust it will not fail us until victory
has been won"

officer. He was greeted with great
applause from the galleries and from
the floor of the House, many of the
Democrats and insurgents joining in
the demonstration. though in either
case possibly the hand-clapping was
given as an evidence of regard for the
office of speaker rather than as evil
dence of any overweaning affection
for the speaker himself.
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
it's winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
/. all measures must be considered
IN committee, and the meetings of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu-
ary many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the winter will begin.
Opening of the Senate.
Vice-President Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, the chaplain Of
the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily was taken by a local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and it was
found that nearly all the Senators
were in their seats. The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that com.
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen.
ate had assembled and was ready to
begin the business of the session. AS
was the case in the House many bills
we're introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives. desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol
icies.
After comparative short session
''in the open,' the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomina-
tions for Office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.

Republican Leader Dies.

Denver-Winfield Scott Boynton,
surveyor of customs at Denver, and
one of the foremost Republican politi-
clans of the state. died at his home
979 Lincoln street, yesterday after
noon at 4 80 o'clock after long ill
ness. Death was due to heart dis
ease.
In commenting upon Mr.. Boynton's
death, the News says: With the pass
ing of Boynton, the old guard which
surrounded the late Edward O. VOL
colt, and made his name in state poll
tics one to conjure by, is cut down to
a mere handful. He was one of the
ablest Of that chieftain's lieutenants.
and his hand helped to write much of
the political history Of the state.
Few men have had the power placed
in their hands which Boynton welded,
and few men have used such power
to less personal advantage than did
Boynton. Twice he may be said to
have had the governorship of the state
in his hands. In 1902 he was offered
the nomination by United States SEN
ator Wolcott and refused it on the
ground that his personal affairs need
ed his attention. James H. Peabody
was the second choice and was elect
ed. If Boynton had accepted, the his
tory of the state might have been far
different.
He was offered and declined three
consulships, and twice refused the
state Craftsmanship of his party, when
his friends were in absolute control.

The formality Of reading the mes

'50L0NS OF NATION
BEGIN THEIR WORK
Sixty-First Congress Meets in
Regular Session.
BRILLIANT THRoNG PRESENT
House Greets Speaker Cannon with
Great AppIause-Many "Taft Pol
icy" Bills Introduced In Both
Chambers,
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington, Dec. 6.-At noon to-day
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-frst
congress of the United States for its
first regular session. Really the first
session OF this congress was the extra
ordinary one of last spring called to
revise the tariff
Some interest was lacking in the
. proceedings of the first day in the cap
Nol because at the beginning of the
extraordinary session in March last
the speaker of the House was elected.
Moreover, before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid-
GRAFTON for the next two winters. The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the men,
bers for choice chairmanships and, If
the chairmanships were not forthcom-
ing. for seats in the more important
subsidiary bodies of the House.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealouSies and rivalres and so it
is that, so far as committee work is con-
cerned, the House not only is ready
to proceed at once to consider legisla-
tion, but most of the members have
brought themselves into frame of
mind to do what they are called upon
to do without regard to their past feel
ings of disappointment and perhaps,
anger
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed with people All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors
The diplomatic gallery in the House
land in the Senate as we'll, was filled
20 its fullest capacity with ambassa-
-'dors, ministers, attaches and the la
dies Of the different legations. Mem
bers Of the families of the president
and Of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries. and the cabinet and judici-
ary and army and navy circles were
well represented.
By rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as a tribute to
the memory to some deceased mem

ber. The result of this rule is that
now on the opening days of congress
the desks of the members are bare SDt
floral decorations. In the old days
both House and Senate were turned
into conservatories for the time of
the opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
the chaplain. Rev Henry N Couden,
TO offer prayer. In his prayer which
was in a sense a Thanksgiving offer
ing, the chaplain referred to the pros
perity of the country, the opportuni-
ties of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few.
AS soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and 1t was
found that there were only few alb
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper
House had passed a resolution to in
form the House of Representatives
that a quorum of the Senate being as

ceed to business. The House also
was told that the Senate had appoint

from the senate. Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed committee to join like

body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment OF the speaker, the Re-
publican leader, Serene E. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds Of legislative
measures in bill form. all of which
were read by their title only and re-
ferred to the proper committees, It
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores of repre-
sentatives were anxious to father
measures which had been recommend
ed by President Taft as being neces-
sary to carry out proposed policies Of
progression. The bills ranged from
those intended to correct alleged ex.
listing evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases of pensions to
veterans of the civil war.
