Instead Of 5 cents, 10 cents are now offer

500 will be paid for every such rat found
to be infected.
The Plague-expert DR.. Creel considers
that the rat-proofng work in San Juan and
suburbs has cost the proprietOrs about 2
million dollars, and an equal amount Will
still have to be spent.

PROSPECTUS OF FELDER's BOOK,
Documentary aud Parole Evidence.
Full List Of Witnesses.
(Spartanburg Herald.)

\opdiCdu UuTB f1oTdlQ.
The Herald has obtained from Col.
Thos. B. Fielder, the Atlanta attorney,
statement concerning his forthcom-
ing book on Governor Cole l.. Blease.
Col. Felde- calls it "a biographi-
cal sketch of the private official and
public career of your distinguished
CD Governor, showing his connec-
ton with the late lamented dispen-
sary of the state Of South Carolina
from the year 1900 down to the abo-
lition Of this institution, and together
with his activities as a Senator to
thwart and stifle the investigation Of
his friends and associates, Including
himself, as we'll as q history Of his
unique and picturesque career as
Governor Of the State of South Caro-
lima"
Is About Completed.
Col. Fielder has been engaged in
the preparation of this sketch at odd
times. He expects to complete the
document during the first week in
January.
He says it will be filed with the
Attorney General Of South Carolina,
together with a companion piece
containing evidence in my hands
documentary and parole), together
with a list of witnesses by whom he
will be able to establish to the salts
faction Of tho most incredulous every
fact contained in the biographical
SKETCH"
Up to Attorney General.
Col. Fielder says he hopes to be
able to show to the satisfaction Of
the Governors constituents that Mr.
Blease has violated many laws.
In view of the rumors which have
been current concerning Col. Felder's
book, The Herald addressed letter
to him, asking him to vouchsafe in
formation in regard to the matter.
He replied in personal letter, re-
markable for the ability he displayed
as a master Of invective. He did not
hesitate to use hard adjectives and
odious SMILES in expressing his opin"
ion Of Governor Blease, whom he said
he would expose as a criminal Of
most shocking character.

American Children Being Outstripped

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 28.-Warn-
ing that children of foreign born par
ents are outstripping American boys
and girls In the public schools Of the
State; Is contained In the annual re-
port Of DR.. G. N. Schaffer, State Su-
perintendent Of Public instruction.
DR.. Schaffer's unfavorable contrast
between the attitude Of American
children and those Of foreign born
parents Is drawn in the following
paragraph:
"Children born Of foreign parents
realize the advantages thus placed
within their reach.
MANY OF them study with a zeal
and earnestness which will make
them winning competitors alongside
OF American youth, who waste their
time at social functions and in the
qualification Of self instead Of prac-
ticing the self-denial which lies at
the foundation of all true success"
DR.. Schaffer makes plea for
open-air schools for children predis-
posed to or affected with tuberculosis.
He notes that, based upon investiga-
ton In New York and Boston, it Is
estimated that 100000 school chill
dren now In the schools In tho Uni
ted States will die Of consumption be-
fore they are 8 years Of age, Is per
cent Of whom could he sayed II nro-
per measures were adopted.

$4,000 to Maker Of Toys.

New York, Dec. ga Christmas
gift in the form Of $4,000, came
this year to Charles Stumpf, a toy
maker, employed by M. Sternberg, at
No. 159 Grand street, williamsburg.
The money was left him by his uncle,
Henry Stumpf, a -four merchant, Of
Berlin, Germany, who died last Sep
tember.
Stumpf is thirty-three, son of Ja-
cob Stumpf, a toy maker OF Heidel-
berg, Germany. When Stumpf's
father died more than q dozen years
ago, the young mau came to America,
and after that he got little informa-
ton from his uncle. Letters remain
ed unanswered. The last time the
toy maker got tidings from his uncle
was four years ago, in a roundabout
way, to the effect that the rich -four
merchant was disposing Of his larg ,
fortune to charity.
Recently Stumpf's brother, Louis,
who lives In Newark, saw an adver-
tisement in German paper asking
for information Of Charles Stumpf.
The toy maker was notified, and i'm
mediately answered the ADVERTISE
ment. A few days ago he received
official notice Of his good fortune and
that $4,000 would soon be forward
ed as the first installment
To a World reporter Stumpf said
Il am not losing my head over this
fortune. I know that $4,000 is a
good deal Of money, and it comes to
me like windfall. don't propose
to quit work, and shall keep right
on. and when get the money I will
invest It,"

REsCUING DOG MAN LOST LIFE

CThe State, Dec. 29.)
Yesterday afternoon while crossing

Blackwell was struck in the temple
by tho engine Of Southern passenger
train No. II and instantly killed.
The details OF the tragedy are sad
in the extreme. l: is the story of q
may trying to save dumb brute---a
dog-from beneath the grinding
wheels Of rushing engine, and los
ing his life in the endeavor. / Mr..
Blackwell and his son were returning
from hunting trip with no thought
of the coming disaster. While they
were crossing the track over Smith

miles from the head Of the canal to
Columbia to break the sad tidings to
his family.

EAT CONSUMPT|VE CHICKENS.
Not Generally Known Chickens Are
Affected With Dreaded Malady.

A chicken pie made from the con-
sumptive remains Of a venerable hen,
whose long and honorable career has
at last been brought to close, is not
appetizing to think Of
1t is not generally understood that
chickens are affected with tuberculosis
almost as frequently as human beings.
A very common method of giving fowls
this disease is in the feeding of table
scraps. If one of the family is tuber-
culous. Another very dangerous man
ner OF infection is allowing strangers
or visitors to spit in the chicken yards.
Milk from tuberculous cows is also
source of infection. The germ causing
this disease in poultry is the "avian"
type OF the tubercle bacillus, and re-
