MWe will be raised { Summerville, has been prosecuting re- searches, however, into the subject in a very practical manner, and has proven beyond any doubt that the higher grades of tea can be produced at a substantial profit to the grower anywhere below the 3oth de- sree of latitude. He has several small plan- tations of an acre each, that are coming Jong finely. The trees are of a hybrid va- slety, which was obtained by crossing the j Bative India plant with that of the Chirese. | He sold a good deal of it last year in the north for 80 cents a pound, and has found that the cost of picking a pound of cured tea is about 23 cents, and that this ex- pense can be very largely reduced when the tea is raised on a large scale and ma- chinery, ig introduced in preparing it for | market. Prof. Massey of the North Car- olind Staté“ Agriculture College has also been very successful in tea-raising experi- ;ments, and many of the farmers of North and South Carolina have started small tea ‘plantations and are giving the subject a great deal of attention. Low-grade teas cannot be raised by us, however, on ac- | count of the high price of labor, but the | better variety of American teas will short- ly, I am sure, become familiar with the tea drinkers of this country and find high favor | among them according to my way of think- ing. The tea I have tasted which was made from the plants grown in South Carolina is fof a more delicate flavor than any of the imported articles I have ever tasted. This opinion ts generally shared, too, by | the other persons who have had the op- jPortunity to prepare the two articles.” | ““Smallpox’ or any other contagious dis- | ease stands a mighty poor show of getting a foothold in Milwaukee,” said Henry Ringold of that progressive western city at | the Riggs House this morning.‘‘Some months eso the authorities introduced a fumigat- ing plan into the health department and dopteY a comprehensive system designed 9 prevent the spread of infectious disease.

The first’ thing they do fs to remove the patient to a hos- pital. Then everything that has come in contact with him, such as his clothes, bed- cing, and so forth, is burned. The sick rcom is then visited, and its walls are moistened with water. Then a great, big pen of rolled sulphur is placed in ihe center of the apartment and set on fire. The door is shut, and for six hours that sulphur is allowed to burn. The fumes of the chemi- cal coming into contact with the moisture en the-walls forms a sort of a sulphuric , acid that is warranted to send bacilli into kingdom come in considerably less than a jiffy. Every room in the house is treated . in the same way, the family being shifted | from one apartment to the other, and all movable articles that will not be injured | by heat are carried out to the van, A large part of this vehicle is devoted to a | boiler, and running from it are steam pipes, which give an immense heat. The articles brought out, such as boots, shoes, floor mops, and things of that sort, are then ; put in the center of these steam coils and | treated to a vapor bath of bichloride of | mercury dissolved in about a thousand times its volume of water. And the opera- tion don't stop here. For fourteen days | afterwards policemen guard the house and | see that no germs get out. I suppose that | is the reason they stay there, because long before the fumigating process is completed the Inmates of the building under treat- rent have either become suffocated or sloped for a more convenient atmosphere.

Georgetown Cyclers Have a Ten-Mile | Road Race, Eighteen members of the Georgetown | Cycle Club last evening engaged in what | was called a ten-mile secret handicap road | race, something new in cycling. It was| an origination of Capt. Geo. W. Cook, al- ways on the alert to increase the interest | of his men in the wheel. The contest was | participated in solely by Georgetown cy- clists, though the Washington Road Club, the Victor and other similar organizations were largely represented among the specta- tors who stretched themselves out along the whole course. This lay between the bridge, to the Anglers’ Club House, and | back, and embraces the most level piece of road on the whole Conduit. The start was made just after 7. The! riders went off six abreast, and kept to- gether closely throughout the long run. Two only fell out, one through the puncture of a tire and the other through being at-| tacked and delayed by a dog. | The time prize was won by E. A. Pitkin, | he crossing the line in twenty-eight min- utes and thirty-three seconds. The prize! consisted of a gold medal. L. B. Peyton | and F. I. Bartlett won the first and sec- ond prizes, respectively, being a gold and | silver medal. They both rode under a two- minute handicap. Corbett being the last in received a huge pie. All wound up in | splendid condition. J. Hart Britt of the District Cycle} Club officiated as referee. Capt. Cook was the handicapper and starter, and Thomas| Stearn the timekeeper. sagen QUESTION OF HEALTH. ‘The Unsanitary Condition of the City’s | Closets, The health officials had a case in the Police Court today, to get an expression | | trom the court on the question of the; | bower of the health officer to compel per- sons to substitute running closets for the old style box privies. Ever since Dr. Ham-| mett was appointed health officer he has | exerted his efforts in this direction, and the | result is that many of the box privies have | {been abolished and running closets sub- stituted In their stead. This morning a colored woman named Julla Jefferson, who | lives on Oregon avenue, was defendant in | the case. It was charged that she maintained a} | foul and filthy privy, but since the service | of @ notice upon her the privy has been thoroughly cleaned. | Judge Kimball heard the evidence in the case and said that there was no law under | which the health office could compel a per-| son to remove a box privy and substitute | a running closet in its place. He did say, however, that the privies must be kept in good order and clean, and said he thought the use of disinfectants | was absolutely necessary during the sum- | mer months. As Mrs. Jefferson had abated the alleged nuisance, the court suspended sentence in the case. During the hearing of the case Inspector Shepherd said he knew of three cases of typhoid fever in houses where there were box privies, and Lawyer C. Maurice Smith contended that the deaths from this disease were much greater in houses containing | water closets than in houses where box privies were used. In support of this he read statistics from the health department, | showing that last year there were 116 jdeaths from typhoid fever in hou while in box privy houses there were only 41 deaths. SS Rs es Escaped From J: Frank Nicholson, an East Washington young man, who has spent many months of his life in jail, left that institution yester- day, although his sentence had not expired. He had two more days to serve, but he saw no reason to remain in prison wien the door was open and he coula walk cut. Frank had been trusted about the prison, and the fact that the door was open and he was near it did not excite the suspicions of thuse who are paid to keep the prisoners within the confines of the prison and comply with the sentence of the court. Although Nicholson made his escape yes- terday the police had not been notified of it nor had any request for his recapture been made at police headquarters this morning. This is the third prisoner who has escaped during the past few months. —_—_— Edwin Baldwin, fifteen years old, was a passenger on the Cumberland train that ar- rived here last night.

Several hundred persons, among them be- ing a large number of ladies and children, spent a pleasant day on the river and at Marshall Hall yesterday, and escaped the heat in the city. The seventeenth anni- versary of the Royal Arcanum was cele- brated, and friends and members of the order embraced the opportunity for a day's enjoyment. Both the steamer Macalester and River Queen took down large parties, many of the excursionists taking advantage of the early m« Ing trips of the boats. The committee in charge of the excursion spar- ed no pains or expense in their efforts to make the affair a success, and those who patronized the excursion were well paid for so doing. At Marshall Hall, in the after- noon, the Corcoran Cadets gave an exhi- bition drill and dress parade, the music be- ing furnished by the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps. A pyrotechnic display, upon the ar- rival of the evening boat, was followed by @ musical and literary entertainment on the lawn, which was participated in by the Capital Mandolin and Banjo Club and a number of ladies and gentlemen, who ren- dered sweet songs and gave interesting recitations. The Crescent Boat Club will give their excursion to Marshall Hall tonight. The eccmfort of the guests on board will be looked after by Dr. Wiber, with the as- sistance of the reception committee, and William A. Hipkins will be in charge of the dancing. The club promises a pleasant evening to ail who go. — 6 A Baptist Council.

S Foolish Woman! You can’t spare the time to measure your Pearl- ine? Well, that helps us, but it's lucky for you that an overdose of Pearline does no harm. It’s only extravagance. Beware of a dose of the imitations. You can get just as good work with enough Pearline as with too much. Use it as it ought to be used, and don’t waste it, and you can’t think that it’s expensive. To get the best results from Pearline, use it just as directed. You'll save more of everything than with anything else. If your grocer sends you an imitation, return it, please. 38 POINTS Of Excellence —Made of fresh, young pork.
