Experiment in Rats. Bits of white paper attract rats and mice lore surely than cheese, accord ing to the conclusions formed by one of the members of the commercial force of the Danbury Gas and Electric
 company from a set of experiments performed with rodents recently. The house in which the gas employe lived was badly infested with the pest, and traps baited with cheese and other ar l ticles of food were placed everywhere about the house in attempt to catch the rats. Apparently no atten- ton was paid by the rodents to these attempts for none of them ventured employe then began a set of expert ments in catching rats. He finally hit upon the plan of using bits of white paper in the trap. He baited his traps Tn IhlS 1ndhner one evening and the next morning, four rats were found dead in one of the traps. The edges of the pieces of paper were nib bled.

Under the head Of IAN Exampla
Worth Millions" the Tampa Tribune
has the following:
The tragedy at OcaIa was closed
Wednesday with the execution of the
guilty negro. Unless the Tribune is
mistaken, this breaks all records for
speedy disposition of a capital case.
The week following the commission Of
the crime, the criminal paid the pen
alty-and all by due process Of law.
There was no detail omitted and every
right of the defendant was provided
for. BY formal indictment, arraign-
ment, trial, conviction and sentence,
there was orderly procedure of the
court and the prisoner was given the
benefit of counsel and the opportunity
to summon any witnesses desired for
his defense. There was nothing in
this that savored of lynch or mob law.
The mob was superseded by a judicial
tribunal and the penalty was pro-
nounced not by an excited gathering Of
enragsd men, but by jury Of twelve.

Mr. LEngle is congressman elect of
the state. elected by one of the biggest
majorities ever given a candidate in
Florida, and certainly one of our most
popular as well as most prominent
men, yet in the days of his long ill
ness there has been no notice of his
condition in the Times-Union and Me-
tropolis, the daily papers of his home
city-or If there has been such notice
IL has been hidden away in some OBJ
scure place. All sorts of trivial hap
penings have been heralded under
flaming headlines, but the condition of
this man. who has proof positive of
thirty thousand friends in Florida, is
ignored. This is not giving the news.
The Times Union has reason to dislike
LEngle. but the Star thinks that a
paper as great as it claims TO be
should be able to rise superior to petty
spite. and even if 1t can't do that it
has no right to discriminate in the
news it gives to its readers.

Mrs. Dickson was one of the wom-
en- whose enthusiasm and devotion did
more than all else to fan the flame of
valor that glowed so brightly in the
hearts of the men on the battlefield.
The material of the battle flag for the
famous band known as Decisions men
was taken from her wedding dress,
and all thru the years of the war her
hands were busy in substantial help
for the men on the field. Her home
was in this city for many years, and
our older people well and kindly re-
member her. After the death of her
brave and distinguished husband, "the
Marion Of Florida" as he was called
by his comrades, she removed to Jack
sonyille. and later to Texas, from
where the news of her death now
comes to her sorrowing Florida friends.
