RAT.INFESTED ENGLISH CITY
Sheffield 10 Moved to Seek Relief From
a VerltabIe Plague Of
Rodents.

Sheffield, England, ia crying aloud
for help from pest of rats. The
wall Of the rat-infested city is car
ried to the United States through an
official report on the situation made
by Mr.. Luther j. Parr, United
States deputy consul, who calls upon
american rat exterminators" to
show what they can do in the shape
of aid. He says, according to the
New York Evening Telegram:
IAN opportunity will shortly occur
in Sheffield to demonstrate the value
of American rat exterminators. What
is known as the killing shambles and
the fish and meat market, located
right in the center of the city, are
to be pulled down in accordance'with
the new town-planning scheme Of the
city authorities.
"When this does occur it is recog-
nized by the public that the home of
millions of rats will be destroyed
and articles and letters appearing in
the local newspapers recently urged
the corporation to do something to
prevent the migration of this vermin.
"The steel works and large stores
in this city are very largely infested
with rats, and l understand many at
tempts have been made to exterIni-
nate them. In the works, however,
very little damage is done by rats,
and it is the rule to occasionally en-
ploy professional rat catcher, who
catches about 100 rats a night, and
is paid FL ($4.87) for a nights
work.
"Such profession is no doubt in
fluenced by the fact that there is
ready sale to sporting men for the
rats caught, for training their dogs"
