A SPOTLESS TOWN.
Bad Nauheim, in Germany, on Which
No Flies Are Found.

Not IT," least among thu advantages
offered y" Nauheim is The almost COM
plctc absence Of flies ana other insect
pests. There are no fly screens in Bad
N3uhcill. They are not needed. The
Wcll-p1Nrd streets are kept 50 clean
that the typhoid nly" finds conditions
lnfavorablc for breeding and an Ct
fectiv" campaign also is carried on be-
tween seasons.
During the winter flies seek corners
of cellars ana attics The authorities
in Nauheim hava a municipal ordi-
nance which enables them to destroy
the fly pest by attacking it at this
time. Government employees are sent
into every building in the town to burn
out all corners in which flies might
take refuge. These measures are Very
successful.
The place likewise affords an inten-
osting proof that this dangerous nui-
Sance does not III ,vr far nom its

PASS new RULES
AT GOLF MEETING
Various Changes Are Made
for Future Journeys.

Philadelphia June 1l.-During the an
nual meeting of the Women's Eastern
Golf Association yesterday. held in the
clubhouse after the second round ia the
championship had been played on the
links of the Huntingdon Valley Country
Club. at Noble. important action was
taken. First OF all, It was voted to
change the method of playing the tri-
city matches for the Griscom Cup. Under
the new three-year agreement these
matches will extend over three days, and
each team will meet the other. Instead
OF having fifteen matches at singles. there
will for the next three years be fifteen
matches at singles in the morning and
six foursomes in the afternoon, making
q points on each days play.
tt is understood that New York de-
sired ten matches at singles and five four
somes in the afternoon, the same as in
the mems intercity contests, but the
Boston and Philadelphia women felt that
by having the greater number on the
team there would be more incentive for
the younger players in each district to
strive for the honor Of being selected TO
pay his year, ana IN the past, matches
for the Griscom Cup. as far back as 1902,
when II became a tricity event, the losers
OF one year have met on the first day and
the winner of that match has competed
against the winner Of the previous year
on the second day. Boston has won the
cup six times, New York twice, and Phil
adelphia once.
Then it was also decided at the meeting
TO have the Eastern championship at "a
holes instead of q. one round a day for
three days.
Mrs. z. S. Sanford, of the Essex County
Club, New York, was reelected president
of the association; Miss Maude E. Wet
more. of Baltusrol, vice president; Miss
Louisa A. Wells, OF the Country Club,

officio, The next GTiscom Cup matches

ANIMAL BOLTS At A TRAIN
Valuable Race Horse Meets with
Peculiar Accident Near 81. Asaph
Track-Had Raced Under HiiIeary
COIors at Baltimore and Considered
Valuable Asset to His Stable.

Alma, z:15A. will never race again. Her
left foreleg was fractured in two places,
between the knee and ankle. Friday
morning, and by the time this paragraph
is read she win probably have been DE-
stroyed
The accident occurred near the junction
OF the Washington and Alexandria Rail-
road with the line that runs of Rosslyn.
The mare had arrived in Washington
some time during the early morning
having filled her Baltimore engagements
during the week, and was being led 10
her stall at st. Asaph, when a street car
approached near the point named. A
bend in the rosdbed probably made il
appear TO the animal that the car was
going to run into her Suddenly she
reared, broke away from her groom, ran
along the track short distance, and
fell into a trestle Several men driving
brick wagons rushed to her rescue, but
in her struggles 10 free herself the mare
suffered the compound fracture men,
toned.
Mr.. George Hilleary. owner of the mare.
was notified at once. and repaired 10 the
scene. but soon realized that the animal
was beyond hope Of further usefulness
and ordered her destroyed. Two negroes
present begged for the mare and Mr..
Hillesry finally consented to let them
have her. on the condition that they
would have her slung up until the bones
of the leg knitted.
Later Frank Tippett learned Of the
! accident, and. believing that if she could
be made eventually TO stand on the
broken leg. she would be valuable as a
brood mare, called at the building where
the mare was and bought her OF her new
owners for s.. The Knox ambulance was
chartered and sent after her. The ambu-
lance also met with an accident. by col
| liding with a car in the neighborhood of
| Long Bridge, an account OF which ap
peared In The Washington Herald of
Saturday morning.
On arriving where the mare was To-
Gated, Mr. Tippett was told by the col
ored man In charge Of her that the price
had been raised TO 500. which Mr.. Tip
petit refused to pay. Mr.. Hilleary has
appealed TO the Alexandra County au-
thorities. through DR.. Hadfield, Of Wash
ington. who was called by NJ. HILLARY
in consultation early in the day.
Alma was a brown mare, 15.2, by Lord
Percy. and was bred by the Hon Samuel
Mcmillan, of New York. When yearling
she passed 10 F. F. Hall, Of this city.
She was high strung as a FLY. and Mr..
Hall bred her Last season was her first
out. At the beginning she was not
promising racing prospect Late in the
season OF 1903 she came 70 her speed
rapidly and paced 10 a record OF 2:I5A-
She was q sure 2.I0 or better prospect.
Alma became Mr. Hilleary's property
early last spring. and she raced under his
colors at Baltimore during the PAST week.
