Why England Has No Flies.

''The fly can be put down." says
e. T. Brewster, writing of the great
meanace from the houss-fiy in Sep
tember McClure's.
1.-THE proof Is that it has been
done. Speaking rashly, there are nc
flies in England; at least, there arc
so few that the inhabitants do not
think 1t worth while to screen their
dwellings. The reason Is the sim.
plest-the tight little island is kept
clean. Fifty years ago flies were a
nuisance in England: though not the
plague they are here. for no other
really civilized country was ever
quite so dirty as the United States oi
America. This nuisance Ia pretty
completely abated. In fifty years
England has been swept and garn-
ished, and the flies have starved"

AN EXPLANATION NEEDED.
Congressman Morehead Had Recon-
mended MIR. ID. H. Blair for Super
visor, But Another Was Appointed.

1t was generally understood
throughout the State that the three
Republican Congressman In this
State would be allowed to name the
Census Supervisors for their Dis
tricts. Some days ago Congressman
Morehead recommended Mr.. D. H.
Blair OF Winston-Salem for the posi-
t1on, but 1t seems that by some means
another was appointed to the posi-
tion. The Durham correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the mat
ter:
"The appointment Of Prof. w. H.
Glasson, of the faculty of Trinity
College, to the position of Census
Supervisor of this District is the
greatest surprise that has come to
Republicans hereabouts in a long
while. It is known that Congress-
man Morehead recommended Mr.. D.
II. Blair, of Winston-Salem, for the
position, although Mr.. Blair was not
a candidate and notified Mr.. More
head that he had pledged his support
to another member of the Winston
Salem bar. Professor Glasson is
unknown in politics, and it Is under
stood that the appointment was made
as a personal compliment by Census
Director Durand. The two men
were classmates at Yale"

EDWARD III. HARTMAN DEAD.
Was the Worlds Greatest Railroad
Magnate-Owned Over Seventy
Thousand Miles of American Rail-
roads,

New York. Sept. Edward H.
Hartman died at his home In Arden,
N. Y. at 1886 this afternoon. He
was born at Hampstead, L. l.. Feb
ruary 25, 1848.
Mr.. Harriman's death had been
expected for several days. On last
Sunday he suffered a serious relapse,
due to an attack of acute indiges-
ton, and he was unable to rally from
the critical condition which then
threatened his life. With him at the
time Of death were all the members
Of his immediate family and DR..
Lyle.
The greatest achievement of Mr..
Harriman's career as a financier and
railroad manager was the rehabiliti-
tion Of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific Railway Systems.
Mr.. Hartman undertook this Her
culean task when he was nearly fifty
years old. and after he had once
practically retired from business.
Other financiers had failed signally

basis, but Mr.. Hartman, following
the organization of the Union Pa
cific in 1897, began systematic
plan to place the properties In the
best condition for their maintenance
at high standard of efficiency.
1t was his policy to keep his rail-
roads in the best workable condition,
confident that sooner or later the
question of dividends would take
care of itself.
To the task he had undertaken,
Mr.. Hartman gave unfagging in
dustry, and it was his constant work
that brought on the final breakdown
in his health. Stomach trouble de-
veloped more than a year ago, and
medical treatment gave no relief.
This summer he went to Europe
to consult the greatest specialists
there, but he was not benefited. On
his return to this country he went
at once to his magnificent country
home at Arden. where death occur
red.
Edward Henry Hartman, perhaps
the greatest figure in American rail-
roading and finance since the days
of Jay Gould. was born February S,
184S, in Hampstead, L. l. He was
one of six children, and his father
was a country clergyman, with a
salary Of 5000 a year.
The poverty of his father cut short
his school-days, and at the age of
fourteen; after some home teaching
and two years in church school, he
became an erran boy in a Wall
Street Office
That was the business beginning
of the man who died at the age of
slxty-one master of nearly seventy
thousand miles of American rail
