= THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1906. - ■ * 1 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.

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.

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.” CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES * IN THE FIRST DISTRICT. Special to The Herald. Savannah, Ga., June' 22.—Hon.

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.
