Malaria.

Malaria ever has been, and is yet,
the great barrier against the invasion
of the tropics by the white races, nor
has it's injurious influences been con-
fined to the deaths that it causes.
1t has been held by careful students
OF tropical diseases and conditions,
that no small part of that singular
apathy and Indifference which steal
over the mind and body of the white
colonist in the tropics, numbing even
his moral sense and alternating with
furious outbursts of what the French
have termed tropical wrath" charac.
terized by unnatural cruelty and alb.

others, is the ready work of ma

HIS KINDLY HEART
CHAMPION SENSITIVE MAN WAS
THIS VERMONT CITIZEN.
His Mantle of Kindness Even Spread
Over That PestiIential Enemy OF
the Human Race, the Blood
thirsty Mosquito.

81 think tho most sensitive MAJ l
ever knew" said Col. Calliper, was
AN old friend of mine named Jonathan
Saglow, who lived at one time In
Storkville Center, VT. He couldn't
bear to see pain inflicted on man or
beast and any sort Of cruelty filled
him with great indignation.
ION Mr.. Saglow's place there was
a little bit of swamp land which he
had never drained and which fur
nished breeding place for what
suppose were the greatest and ferc-
est mosquitoes that ever grew, but
Saglow had no screens on his porch
or windows. He did have some once
on his porch but he took them down
the next day after he put them up.
People hesitated to call on the
Saglows in summer on account of
those mosquitoes. There were mos
quitoes, sure enough, elsewhere in
Storkville Center than around where
they lived, but none quite SO big and
ferocious as those that grew in Sag
lows swamp.
Then one day, to Storkville Cen
tres great establishment, Mr.. Saglow
was seen putting up screens around
his front porch; the next day, to its
still greater establishment, he was
seen taking them down, and Mr.. Sag
low wasn't a man that everybody
could run up to to ask the why's and
wherefores of anything he'd done, but
one day in friendly mood he told me
why he had taken down the screens
the very day after he had put them up.
He admitted freely that that one
night they had had on the porch with
the screens up had been most comfort
able for them all; that to sit there
and not be bored into by those giant
mosquitoes had been an experience
that they had all greatly enjoyed; but
what he saw in the morning when he
came to look the screens over by
daylight prompted him to take them
down Immediately.
Sticking through these screens, all
over, all around, everywhere, he saw
mosquitoes broken off beaks-you can
| Judge what sized beaks they were
when l tell you that those screens
were not very fine meshed-big beaks
which mosquitoes had thrust through
the netting in their efforts to get at
the people inside, and which had be.
come wedged there and been broken
off when the mosquitoes had beaten
up against those screens and how
many had stuck their beaks through
and still been able to get them out
again nobody could know, but here
were "a broken off beaks still stick
ing through the meshes of the net
ting.
Now most people. you know, would
have found sort of savage joy in the
contemplation of those broken of
spears and in the thought that sc
many giant pests had thus been
made innocuous; but not so with
Jonathan Saglow
when he saw those 81 broken of
beaks the first thought that came tc
him was Of the poor wounded and
NAMED mosquitoes wandering beak
less around the world deprived of their
only means of sustenance; and
straightway he tore down the screens
SO that others might not by them be
made likewise to suffer; for not even
upon the sufferings of mosquitoes
could he dwell with serenity, this
most sensitive man l ever knew"

That consumption can be perman-

ment, to improve, and are in condi-

straining him from carrying about. So
Letting sales, or selling Intoxicating

having previously been taken by de-
fault, the defendants not appearing in

The affidavit contained statements
OF decidedly sensational character

Los Angeles. Sept 20 - AS the
result of revolting ceremony, the
feature of which was the frenzied
dancing of men and women before an
open air altar on which the nude body
of dead girl was exposed for four
days and nights, the city authorities
have been asked by Eighth ward res
idents to eXpel the members of the
Russian sect which is said to combine
all the Objectionable practices of the
Doukehobars and other fanatical emo
tionalists. The ceremony complained
of ended last night, after the protests
had become so insistent that the mem
bers of the sect were compelled to inter
the body of the girl, which had become
blackened by long exposure. In reply to
complaints OF the neighbors, the Rus
slams explained that the weird cere-
mony. with its shrieks, bowling and
dancing about the nude bodies of the
dead, was their way of mourning for
girls who died on the threshold of
womanhood

ARMY OFFICER CRITICIZED FOR
WEARING UNIFORM IN CIVIC
PARADE NOT WORRIED.
COMPLAINT is LODGED WITH
SECRETARY OF WAR
Accused Of Marching at Head of Tom
peranee Parade in Full Uniform
Grant Says Demonstration Was for
Better Government and His Action is
Above Criticism.

Washington. Sept. 2s.-For a little
longer Secretary of War Dickinson
was spared today the embarrassment
Of taking sides in the dispute with his
fellow citizens in Chicago as to
whether or not Gen. Fred d. Grant
was justified in appearing in the uni
form of his rank in the United States
army in the so-called temperance par
ade in Chicago last Saturday. The
mails failed to bring the open letter Of
protest from W. r. Michaelis, of the
executive board Of the United Societies
for Local Self Government.
No Law on Subject.
Officials of the war department. could
not recall an instance in which the
right of an officer to appear in uni
form on an unofficial occasion had
been called into question. While there
was no regulation or even unwritten
law on the subject, it seemed to be
the opinion of some of the department
officials that an officer should not wear
his uniform for an unofficial occasion,
when wearing it would cause criticism.
1t is known here that Grant has de-
cided views in regard to the effect Of
liquor in the army. In his annual re-
port, just submitted to the department.,
he commented on court martials by
saying:
"a glancea at the report Of the Judge
a dy-n fa a1a oh a. =
that liquor was the cause Of most Of
the troubles among the soldiers"
"WiII Do It Again." Says Grant.
ut was not temperance parade but
demonstration in favor of good gov
ernment and law and order, and I
should have been derelict in my duty if
] had not, when requested, headed the
parade as / did, and I shall continue
until prohibited to do the same thing
whenever deem it necessary to ad-
vance the cause of good government" !"
This is the substance of statement
made by General Grant today in an
swer to Michaelis' letter critizing Grant
for having appeared in full uniform in
the so-calied temperance parade in that
city last Saturday. Grant added that
there was no law. written or unwritten,
or regulation that in any way abridged
his right to wear his uniform on any
occasion he saw fit, and he assumed
that no official action on the part
OF the war department would be taken
in. the matter. Grant has been in at
tendance on the Hudson- Fulton cele-
bration In New York. and\in returning
to Chicago stopped over to visit his
son, Lieut.. Ulysses S. Grant, of the
corps of engineers, now stationed in
this city He expects to arrive in Chi
cago next Friday.

Miehaeii.' Prote.t

Chicago. Sept. ga protest against
the appearance of General Grant in his
army uniform in the temperance par
ade last Saturday, was made in let
ter sent the secretary of war by w r.
Michaelis. member of the executive
board of United Societies for Local
Government. The letter says:
Public officers are servants of the
people and should not be allowed to
use the advantages of their office to
accomplish partisan ends do not
dispute the generals right to take part
In this movement as a private citizen,
but believe he has no right to head
the parade in full uniform, or to par
ticipate as federal officer.
will you kindly advise me whether
the department has ruled on such con-
duct and whether the same can be said
to receive official sanction?"
Several letters have been sent to
the secretary of war from gentleman
who will defend Grants appearance
in the parade. They say 1t was not a
prohibition parade" but a movement
for civic righteousness and enforce
ment Of law and order in Chicago"
