Misfortunes of the Confederates and

New Orleans Picayune: The misfor-
tunes of the Confederates at Gettysburg
brought Washington some good news,
and it was to the effect that the British
Government had at last interposed to
prevent the armored ram that was built
by the Lairds from being sent to sea,
and another item was that on Septem-
Der IS Russian war fleet had arrived
at New York to forestall any possible
recognition by England and France of
the Confederacy. There is no question
that the position taken by Russia pre-
vented the recognition by France and
England of the Confederacy. That the
Confederacy was much nearer final sue
cess than was known even to the au-
thorities there is good reason to believe,
and had Stonewall Jackson survived his

part IN tht battle of Gettysburg, that

HOT WEATHER
It's Effect on the Boil Weevil Demon
strated.

Mansfield Enterprise: The question
as to whether the excessive hot weather
will destroy the boil weevil has been
demonstrated to be a fact during the
past few days. With this aim in view
several farmers made close examina-
ton during the past week, and their
verdict is that every young weevil that
is in cotton square when it falls off
will die because of the hot weather.
Mr.. Willard Allen, planter enar town,
after gathering number of squares and
opening and examining the grub, says
that not more than one in ten is alive.
and they seem to be about dead Mr..
E. NJ. Bates, who lives eight miles west
of town, says that practically all are
dead. Mr.. Rufus Farmer, who resides
five miles east of town, examined one
hundred squares and found eleven 1iv-
ing grubs, and says that he believes they
would have been dead in an hour more.
Mr.. W. B. Hewitt, whose place is ten
miles east of town, says that the hot
weather has destroyed all the young
weeyils, and that most of the old ones
have about lived out their natural life.
These views are not mere guesses, but
are clearly expressed opinions of prac-
teal farmers, who have made special
and careful examinations. There will
have to be plenty of damp and cloudy
weather to enable the weevil to do much
more damage to cotton in the hill lands

Mrs. Letter, department of physical

BEN LEE
A Petition Being Circulated Asking for
His Pardon.

Mansfield Enterprise: "Dr. P. A. Lee
of Red River parish was in our town
yesterday. He is circulating a petition
asking that pardon be granted his son,
Ben 5. Lee, who recently pleaded guilty
to m1sappropriating funds belonging to
his employer, and was sentenced to
serve one year on the public roads of
Caddo parish. Owing to the peculiar
circumstances surrounding this case,
the excellent character of the youth pre-
vious to the unfortunate incident. and
the high character of the family, every
body seems to be signing the petition,
and we hope the pardon will be
granted
The hope expressed by the Enter
prise IS suggested by the sympathy
which is felt for the parents of Lee.
There is nothing so easy as to secure
signatures to a petition for pardon,
especially as in this case, when it is pre-
.sented with the pleading of the father
for his boy Few will resist and refuse.
Unfortunately, it is misplaced Or misap-
piled sympathy which stimulates the in
crease of rascality, such as the abuse of
the confidence of an employer in the
honesty of his employe.
1t is only recently that Ben Lee plead
ed guilty to obtaining money under false
pretenses, for which he has been as
signed to the good roads camp for
twelve months. He had been indicted
for enbezzlement when in the employ
of Herman Loeb, by whom he was in

HOUSE FLIES
Carriers of Filth and Transnitters of
Diseases-Should Be Exterminated.

House flies are not only a nuisance
but are carriers of filth and transmitters
of diseases which lead hundreds of
thousands of human beings into untime-
ly graves.
The fly nuisance is engaging the Sc
rious attention of sanitarians every
where.
DR.. George NJ Kober of Washing
ton, D. c., was one of the first to sug-
gest that many cases of typhoid feger
are to the house fly agency. W.
In 1897 DR.. Wallace Clark, health of
fcer of Utica, N. Y, noted that 90 per
cent of the contagious diseases in Utica
were in one ward, locality not over
crowded and under the same general
sanitary regulations as the rest of the
city. He found that the garbage dump
OF the ward was also dump for human
excrement and that in said summer. it
sWarned with flies He attributed the
spread of typhoid to the agency of these
flies. After the dumps were removed
the typhoid death rate was reduced to
normal.
In 1893 DR.. H. A. Veder published in
the New York Medical Record a paper
entitled Flies as Spreaders of Disease
in Camps" and demonstrated that dur
ing the Spanish-American war the COM
mon house fly carried typhoid fever into
the army camps DR. George N. Stern
berg, surgeon general of the United
States Aarmy, in 1890 corroborated this
statement
Other eminent medical experts who
Jhave made study of the subject agree
with the earliest advocates of the house
fly agency in the transmission of disease.
DR.. L. O. Howard, entomologist of
the Department of Agriculture, in one
of the regular farmers bulletins, shove"
that the house fly is a potent factor in
the transmission of typhoid in country
districts, due to neglected box privies.
Although it has been demonstrated
that the house fly is the disseminator of
diseases, there has scarcely been an eff
fort at its determination except in some
cities of the North
Has anything been done in Louisiana
to destroy the house fly?
Has the determination of the house
fly received any consideration in Shreve
port?
Several years since when yellow
fever was epidemic in New Orleans the
State and local boards were all busy in
urging the destruction of the mosquitoes
and yet the house fly, which is said to
be more dangerous and active than the
mosquito, as transmitter of diseases,
is permitted to luxuriate at will, not
only is a nuisance but in transmitting
diseases.
1t is about time the authorities were
getting busy in destroying the house
fly
An appeal to the people, with in
structions how to exterminate the house
fly will receive prompt and effective
endorsement.

A new electrical apparatus, which is
designed to facilitate the dispatch Of
postal letters, has just been installed
in Paris post office. It consists of
an "endless" roll Of linoleum, 200 feet
in length. This, in revolving, rubs
against 80 electric bobbins operated
by a powerful distributor. When the
current is switched on, the linoleum
roll descends into the letter box, the
contents of which are attracted to the
linoleum by the electricity, and COM
municated by the bobbins. The let
tiers are thrown into truck, and car
ried by means of miniature railway
through the public room to the sort
ing office. The saving in time is said
to be considerable, and the apparatus
is almost noiseless.
