PUT GRANT AT DISADVANTAGE
Linooin's Little Story Probably Mo~s Effective Than Any Long Aruv-
 nfent Could Have Been. 'E-''

One of the latest stories of Lln- coin is given here: -'- 'r '''
 The President was visiting Grant in his Virginia camp, and the general was complaining of the interference of the Washington bureaucrats. ~rhe only use I have for the War depart rnent" he said finally. ,'is to furnish me soldiers and supplies. But the department mustn't interfere with me. I am doing the country's work, and mustn't be hampered"
 'aThat reminds me-" said the Presi- dent, meditatively, "that reminds me of man I knew out in Sangamon county, Illinois He was a deacon, and had the tlong-winded ,exhortat ton habit. Tn fact, he had it so bad that people began to stay away from meet ing. One day the preacher met him. Say, deacon he said. T don't want to curtail your religious fervor, but you must shorten up your exhorta- tions You're killing off the member. ship of the. church. Cant help 1t, said the deacon, I'm doing the Lords work, and mustn't be hampered.'
 Grant laughed and temporarily dropped the subject.

ito a murmur after final roar
Monday the curb market have a roof
over its head and four walls TO
shield it from the gaze Of the curious.
But the final roar was unprece
dented. Brokers multiplied the
shouts, the furious wiggling Of fing-

brokers perched beside telegraph
wires in windows above the street

representatives from the other fe'-
lows in the scramble below. Nimble
fingers, through which the men IN the
windows and the men on the street
exchanged sign messanges, sent their
wireless order for the last time.

found to have mosquitoes breeding.
''More rne squitos seem to be foun.
in Brownsville than any place along

in" DR.. w. H. Davis, of the Unite,
States Public Health Service, con
ducting the health survey and mos

es ] have worked in. however" said
Dr. Davis, carried on clean up drives
just before / arrived, which would
to some extent explain the seeming
prevalence Of the insect in Browns
Vile"
But every block that has visited i
no longer breeding mosquitoes, say
the health authorities. All breeding
places are being oiled where ncces-
sary, and fish put in where practic-
able. Where neither oil nor the fish
can be used. the breeding places are
being dstroyed. Cans, bottles, bar
rels, tubs. and all other open water
containers are being emptied by tn
scores as the inspectors make the
rounds.
In only four working days, the ins
pectors have visited about $50 hous
es. according to an incomplete report
submitted to City Manager George
Grupe by DR.. Davis yesterday. Up 10
Saturday morning. in only three
working days. 604 places had beer
inspected and reported on.
That is a fairy good rate according
to DR. Davis. '.The inspectors could
work trifle faster, he explained, bu
/ prefers to have the work done tho
roughly on the first survey, that sue
ceeding surveys win be much quick

The central portion Of the city. in
cluding the business district, is
where the inspectors have been work.
9ng during the past week. A large
part of the Elizabeth Street resi-,
DENTAL section has all ready been
completed also.
Minnows will be provided persons
desiring them, City Manager Grupe
announced Saturday, if they apply
at the city hall.
'sIf the pepole cooperate with tn,
inspectors, and do all they can tc
eliminate mosquitoes before the city
officials come around, the town vii
be rid of the mosquitoes much soon

Experiments as to the usefulnes'
of minnows were carried on during
last week by DR.. w. f. Spivey, SAM
tary Inspector ]. S. Spikes, and DIR.
Davis. One block was selected for the
experiments, Wigglers and mosqui
toes were in abundance in that blocl
last week. Minnows were placed in al
water containers and yesterday, ~
4 survey of the block, not single
wiggler was found, and residents had
reported that they were troubled
much less by mosquitoes than they
were before, according to DIR. Davis

people"
