THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1906.

This is Proving a Very Interesting Week to the Hundreds of Shoppers
Who Are Attracted by the Dissolution Sale Bargains
My! What a stimulant those Remnants were to the dissolution sale. Monday and Tuesday space around the rem
nant tables was at a premium a good deal of the time, and it has been the main point of interest ever since. Although
hundreds and hundreds of yards of remnants have been sold to delighted customers at the big savings of more than one-
half, a large lot of unusually desirable remnants remain.
Of course, the remnant counters haven’t held all the interest, for the savings all over the store have been wonderfully attractive. Intense interest in a sale has never
held up so long in Albany. The sale has been on a month yet, and still there is a regular December look about the crowded aisles, the bustle and the business that goes on
each day. Yes, there’s a reason for this. And thd reason lies in the wonderful values that have - made this sale truly great. Another reason is that, even after the enormous
sellings of four weeks, the superb quality stocks present a practically unbroken front—with assortments, if not •complete, still satisfactory to ninety-nine of each 100 cus
tomers. What do you think of these rare bargains?

FLIES SPREAD
TYPHOID FEVER.
From Philadelphia Public Ledger.
"That flies are an exasperating an
noyance not only to man, but also to
beast, no one need be told. Moreover,
it has been found that the milk-pro
ductive power of the cow is mater
ially reduced by * the annoyance of
flies. That flies are one of the great
est possible sources of danger as dis
ease transmitters Is also well known,
but not sufficiently heeded.”
This statement was made today by
State Health Commissioner Dixon. He
was speaking of what is known in
the scientific world as musca domesti-
ca, but what people in general call the
"pesky house fly,” that whisks through
the small tear in the screen qna ruins
early morning sleeping hours.
"We don’t, begin to give enough
credit to the house fly for the number
of typhoid fever cases it is responsi-

Moved!
Mr. Jos. L. Rarey, the old reliable
tailor, has moved his place of business
to No. 98, over M. Crine’s store, south'
Broad street.
My Spring samples are ready for in
spection. fte*.
JOS. L. RAREY,
Die for. Tlie fly' alights on some
germ-laden material, and then Its next
stopping place may be some food that
is about to be served. It was the late
Dr. Joseph Letdy’s belief that the
house tiles carried gangrene and were
responsible Cor Its spread.
■ “The fly’s responsibility for the
great, number of deaths among the
American soldiers during the Spanish-
American war whs conclusively shown.
The soldiers took the very proper
precaution of putting lime about tho
camp, hut the [fy was there, too, and
those who studied the typhoid epi
demic at Chickamauga Camp, for in
stance, report that flies were seen
on tho food at the mess tents with
their little feet covered with lime.
“No more direct transmission of ty
phoid can bo imagined. That the fly
was entirely responsible for many
cases was shown by the fact that in
vestigations, proved that the typhoid
fever germs did not come from he
drinking water. There were only 454
Americans killed during the Spanlsh-
Amerlcan war, but 5,277 died of ty
phoid fever.
“The farmer and dairyman should be
particularly anxious to get rid of flies,
for It means dollars and cents to them
in their milk production. It is a rec
ognized fact that the annoyance
enused by the .fly materially reduces
the quantity of milk that the cow
gives.
“How shall we get. rid of this fly
danger? Of course, screens to keep
them out, and fly papers to catch the
insects when they do get in, are the
easy and natural remedies; but flies
nre great breeders, and it is most im
portant to look after that end of the
problem. The female fly* lays about
130 eggs, and these eggs hatch in
about one-third of a day. The larval
stage is three days, the pupa stage
five days, and the fly rounds to the
full adult fly in about ten days. There
may be twelve broods in a summer.
“Now, the first thing to do is to see
that the manure pit is well screened,
and for this purpose the best material
is a light cheesecloth. A shovelful
of - chlorated lime should be dusted
thickly over the mamire pit every day.
It should he remembered also that the
fly layB its eggs on all decaying ani
mal and vegetable matter."
IS TOM WATSON
TO TAKE CHARGE?
In an Idle Vein.
Will' Take Stump for Hoke Smith,
Then Go to State Democratic Con
vention as a Delegate from Mc
Duffie and Run for Chairmanship.
The Macon Telegraph this morning
publishes the following from its At
lanta correspondent:
“Atlanta, Ga., June 21. — It seems
that the rumor which was in circula
tion here several weeks ago and
which was given to the public through
the columns of The Telegraph at the
time, that Tom Watson would at an
early day go on the stump in the in
terest of the candidacy of Hoke Smith,
had a good deal in it.
"The rumor stated that Mr. Watson
would make a number of speeches be
fore the campaign closed, urging the i
Populists to vote for the Fulton Couu- [
ty Smith for the office of governor
of Georgia, and that he would open
up in Atlanta. i
“It is now announced that Mr. Wat
son will speak in Atlanta early in
July, and as tho Populist convention
is to be held here July 4, it may be
that his date for Atlanta will be made
while the. Populists are here.
"There is some talk of his coming
to the state convention as a delegate
from McDuffle in the event that Hoke
Smith carries that county, and being
elected chairman of the state conven
tion, should Hoke Smith be in posi
tion to control the politics of that
body.
“If this should occur, the office
would carry with it the chairmanship
of the State Executive Committee for
the next two years. It is with the
people of . Georgia as .to whether all
of this will happen.”

HEYWARD HOME
FROM FISHING TRIP.
Says This Year’s Fight on Dispensary
Question in South Carolina Will Be
the Finish.
Special to.^he Herald.
Savannah, Ga., June 22.—Gov. Hey
ward, of South Carolina, and his party
of friends who have been fishing on
the coast, came here yesterday, and
late in the afternoon the governor left
for home. 'He did not hear until* he
reached Savannah that Lumpkin was
to run against Tillman for senator in
South Carolina. He would not ex
press an opinion as to the outcome of
the fight, except to say that the battle
upon the dispensary question in South
Carolina would be to the finish tills
year. *
This happened in Albany:
A lady met a small white boy, from
between whose lips, as he passed,
there was ejected an astonishing vol
ume of a dark amber-colored liquid.
The lady stopped in amazement.
"Little boy,” she asked, "aren’t you
chewing tobacco?”
"Yessum.”
"Don’t you know it will ruin you?
What in the world makes you do it?”
"Haf ter. Started w’en I wus little,
an’ kain’ quit now.” *
"Started when you were little, did
you? How old are you know?”
"Five.” And he spat viciously at a
crawling ant.
When the lady recovered her breath
she asked some more questions, and
was informed that the youthful dev
otee of the weed had a 2-year-old sister
who dally "dipped” snuff.
The lady neglected to inquire wheth
er the 5-year-old carried a flask.
The man was evidently in great dis
tress. He sat on the edge of the Rave-
ment In the shade of a friendly tree
and mopped the cold sweat from his
drawn face. His hat lay in the gutter,
and he was sitting on his folded coat.
His form was contorted, and he held
one hand tightly pressed above his
stomach. His face was ashen, and the
expression it wore was one of inde
scribable misery.
A sympathetic passer-by stopped and
inquired whether he could be of as
sistance.
"My friend,” said he, "you seem to
be in trouble. Perhaps I may serve
you. If so, do not hesitate to com
mand me.”
The other shook his head sadly and
moaned feebly.
"No,” he replied, as lie rested his
head in his hands, “it is not a case
where assistance can avail. I merely
agreed to eat a raw lizard if Albany
won the last series from Columbus,
and the fellow I bet with has just
made me settle. And may the Lord
have mercy on his soul!”
gerous thing. Each one of these ar
tesian wells, penetrating to the store
houses of the gases, liberates them In
vast quantities.*- Now, I have figured
out to a nicety, as we men of science
know how to do, that the wells already
sunk in this city, nearly twenty In
number, are liberating the very limit
which can be spared of this wonderful
gas. One more well, my dear sir, will
be the straw to break the camel’s back
—in fact, sir, to quite crush the fa
mous Ship of the Desert, as he Is
called by the poetically inclined.
"And when all this gas is liberated,
what will be the result? Why, sir, the
pressure being removed, the strata be
low us will begin to collapse, and we
will find the earth giving. away be
neath our very feet. Down, down, we
go, into the very bowels of this mun
dane sphere. Think of it! I—you—
, we—all—everything and everybody
sent hurtling in one conglomerate
mass into the unexplored depths be
low!
"I protest! I warn those responsi
ble! I speak for the storehouses of
gas so important to our safety and
well being. I shall fight it out in the
courts, demanding that the rights of
the people be not trampled on just for
the sake of a little more water!”
The man of science drew nearer the
meek man and caught him by the
sleeve.
"My friend," said he, "would you
mind letting me have a quarter of a
dollar until my wife gets paid for this
week’s sewing?”
THE WEATHER.
The small man in the frayed frock
coat and wearing steel-rimmed spec
tacles through which the wearer
viewed'the world in a superior sort of
way, was enlightening tlm meek man
who didn’t have gumption enough to
make a break for liberty, or even in
vent an excuse for hurrying off.
“I see," said the spectacled one,
"that the city authorities have an
nounced a definite intention of sinking
another artesian well (so called from
the town of Artois, in France, where
the first one was sunk—Ahem!) for
the purpose of increasing to an ade
quate point the municipality’s water
supply.
“Now, I have a theory, though other
distinguished men of science may de
cline to agree with me, that there ex
ists in the earth beneath us a great
quantity of gas. ' This gas fills all
crevices and caverns at a depth of
from -200 to to 10,000 feet It is gen
erated by certain substances whi,ch ex
ist in the earth, and is constanflj- forc
ing its way through to the surface,
where it affords indispensable nour
ishment to all manner of plant life.
“But these artesian wells are doing
a dangerous thing—ye very dangerous
thing; Indeed, sir, an exceedingly dan.
