'To the housekeeper who reads of the seven plagues of Egypt, it seems strange that Pharaoh should ever have had the temerity to harden his heart against the pleadings of Moses after once having had the “grievous swarms of files” in his own and his servants’ houses. There are few sacrifices that the woman of today would not make sooner than run the risk of bringing down upon herself such a pestilential invasion. Her life is, even now, a continual warfare against the fly, who is the destroyer of domestic peace. She marvels as to how her ancestors lived before the days of window screens and wire doors. Even with these improvernents the fly is ubiquitous. He creeps in through the smallest interstice between the screen ard the window frame, and lurks outside the carefully closed door, ready to dart in if the narrowest opening 1s afforded him. One housewife, however, says that she has seldom more than half a dozen flies in her house. She has several plans to prevent the entrance of the buzzing nuisances with- in her domain. In the first place, the screen doors opening on front and kitchen verandas are supplied with powerful springs and secure latches. As soon as the open door is released from the hand that holds it, it slams shut, and the click of the latch fastens it against the strongest wind. Then this clever woman has had all her window screens weather-stripped. The screens slide up and down in the easiest Pessible manner, but along the edge of each, on the side toward the window (and therefore out of sight of the occupant of the room), are narrow weather strips such as are used in winter to exclude draughts of cold air. The most persistent insect could not pass this barrier. In spite of precautions, the kitchen and dining room of the average house will have a visitation of flies occasionally. The most formidable weapons with which to fight the intruders are Persian insect powder and sticky fly-paper. The former should be blown freely about the apartment the last thi at night, care being taken to cover wit! large sheet all dishes, etc., on table or dresser. The windows and doors must then be tightly closed for the night. On opening them in the morning the floor will be found to be strewn with dead flies. These, with the insect powder, should be swept up and burned immediately, gs the domestic fly has even more lives than a cat, and revives to buzz another day after be- Ing In articvlo mortis. Sticky fly-paper may, between meals, be laid on the dinner table, where nobody can sit upon it, or lay her best bonnet on it, and where the baby cannot creep in it. It should, however, be put out of sight before the family assemble in the dining room. The poison fly paper, of which the insects partake and then die anywhere they hap- pen to fall, whether on eatables ox in one's lap,-a disgusting Institution, and should never be used in the house. It may serve well enough in stable or factory, but in the heme, where dwell people of sensitive stomachs, it should not be tolerated. — Mexican Rate on Corn. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In order to facilitate and encourage the importation of corn from the Unitea States to Mexico, the Mexican government has fixed a freight rate for the railroads of 70c., Mexican currency, per 100 kilos, or 240 pounds, from the Rio Grande border to the City of Mexico. With this low rate in effect the railroads connecting with the border can compete with the steamship lines in the handling of corn. One thousand tons of corn have just been brought into Tampico by the steamer Corso, and is now being dis- charged. This cargo originated in Kansas City and was shipped to Mexico by way of Mobile, Ala. ———_++____ Political Information a: Statistics, Every one interested in politics can find fullest information upon past political events in The Evening Star Almanac. Ta- bles have been prepared with care, showing the vote by corgressional districts in the last congressional election, state election returns for 1892 and 1894, and the electoral votes from 1789 to 1892, with other valuable statistics. In addition, there is an interest- ing chapter upon the money of the United States. 2c. per copy. , THE YOUNG MEN'S VOTE I¢ Will Play an Important Part in the Coming Election. Some. Interesting Statistics Presented’ by Mr. C. W. E Boston. Mr. C. W. Ernst, formerly assistant post- master of Boston, has long been known as an expert statistician. Mr. Ernst while in this city prepared interesting figures, which he believes to be important in the conduct of the com!ng campaign. Speaking of them to a Star reporter today he said: “Let the friends of sound money not for- get that the election is decided by young men. We can do very little with the men who have once voted for President. The Percentage of votes actually transferred from one party to another is slight, though in 1892 many thousands voted for Cleve- land on principle who refuse on the same principle to vote for Bryan. But the real decision depends on the young men who cast their first vote for President. “Of the men who voted in 1892 about a million are dead. Their pla are taken by the young men who ha ached the voting age eince 1802. It is fair to think that the vote in 1896 will be heavier, rela- tively, than in 1892. In 1892 the country was apathetic; in 1896 it is interested. “I expect a total popular vote of about fourteen million, nearly three million be- ing new voters—that is, young men who at- tained their majority since 1892, voters raturalized since 1882 and men who failed to vote in 1892 for lack of interest. “The important element is the young voter who casts his first vote for President. The total number of young men who have attained the voting age since 1692 is al- most three million. Not all will vote; but nearly all will try very hard to vote. “If anybody doubts this statement that nearly three million young men have reach- ed the voting age since 1592, consult the census about our young men respectively twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four years of age. In 1690 their number was 2,516,043 in a total male popu- lation of the voting age aggregating 16,940,- 311. This population of the voting age has new reached about 19,750,000, of whom about 2,900,000 have attained the voting age since 1802. “It is not unreasonable to think that some 2,500,000 of those young men will cast their first ballot for President either for Bryan or for McKinley, and that the out- come of the election rests almost wholly with the very youngest voters we have. The fate of the country rests with the mid- dle west, and in the middle west far less with the old voters than with the young men who are less than twenty-five years of age. —_____ - e+. _____ WORK OF CHESS EXPERTS. Analysing the Results of the Nurem- berg Tournament. ‘The Nuremberg chess tournament closed Monday, and the results were duly publish- ed in these columns. They showed that the old masters, Steinitz, Tschigorin, Tar- rasch and Winawer must step aside to make rcom for younger players. Lasker, who easily won first honors, is but twen- ty-eight years of age. His playing showed that the title of champion of the world -is merited. Though of German birth, Lasker lives in London. Maroczy, who won second Erize, is twenty-six years of age. He won first prize in the minor tournament at Hastirgs last year, and this js his first ap- pearance as a master. At Nuremberg he lost but one game, to Steinitz. He ts from Buda_ Pesth, Hungary. Pillsbury, the American, 1s twenty-four years of age. His score is noteworthy in that he defeat- ed Lasker, Tarrasch, Tschigorin and Stein- itz, the big four. Tarrasch, who tied with Pillsbury for third and fourth prizes, js thirty-four years of age. His home is Nu- remberg. Janowski, the fifth prize winner, is a comparatively new light, having first participated in a masters’ tournament at Leipsic in 1804, when he won a_ prize. Steinitz, the sixth prize winner, is sixty years of age. He never was a great tour- nament player. The seventh prize winners are both young, Schlechter being twenty- two years of age, and Walbrodt twenty- four years. Waibrodt lost in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth rounds to Cha- rousek, Blackburne and Teichmann, play- ers whom he was expected to defeat. Schlechter again distinguished himself for the number of drawn games scored by him. It 1s noticed that Marco, who {s also from Vienna, cores next in the number of drawn games. Among the masters whose score is low- er than those mentioned above are Tschi- gorin, aged forty-five; Schiffers, aged for- ty-six; Blackburne, aged fifty-three; Albin, aged forty-eight, and Winawer, who won second prize at Paris in 1867, and divided first and second prizes with Steinitz at Vienna in 1882. The following table shows the number of games won, lost and drawn by each play- er, as well as his score of won games, draws, counting half a point, and the final score at Hastings: aie tp | | 'Hast- Won.!

THE SALVATIONISTS DEPART Off for a Crusade in Maryland and Pennsyl- vania, Staff Captain Cox Hopes for a Suc- cessfal Campaign—An Invitation to Visit Dover, Del. The members of the Salvation Army brigade who were selected by Staff Captain Blanche B. Cox to accotipany her on her missionary tour, which is to occupy a period cf about twqmonths, started on their journey this m@rning. The start was made from the residenee/bf Capt. Cox, No. 220 R street northeast} and the party com- prised, beeides Staff Captain Cox, Captain B. Hill, aid-de-camp; Captain S. Halpin, Ensign S. N. Thompson, Lieut. P. G. God- ber, Lieut. A. Allott and Lieut. Joseph Mc- Donald. The brigade: traveled in two neat wagons, which were ‘handsomely decorated Elunche B. Cox. with flags. One of the fiags was inscribed “Blood and Fire,” ond Captain Cox told a Star reporter that the same flag was on her bed when some years ago she was sick with smallpox in India. One of the wagons was drawn by two horses and the other by one, and on each of the animals there was a profusion of sleigh bells, which jingled merrily as the perty traveled along. While this arrange- ment was calculated to attract much atten- tion, it was not to themselves that the Sal- vationists wished to draw notice, but they realized that there cannot be too much ad- vertising of the objects which they have gone forth to accomplish, and they in- tend to Icse no opportunity to try to get people to come and hear the message they have to tell. Easy Stages to the Grove. Capt. Cox said the journey to Washington Grove would be made by eesy stages, and that it was expected to reach that place by 2 or 3 o'clock this afternoon. At Washing- ton Grove the officers hope to meet Com- mander and Mrs. Booth-Tucker, and the two latter will spend two days at the camp. The brigade will remain at the Grove until Friday next, when they will proceed in their wagons to Frederick, Md., where ser- vices will be held on the following Satur- day, Sunday and Monday. From Frederick they will go to Hagers- town, Md., where the brigade will spend three days holding meetings. Possibly they may, if they can spare the time, make a side trip to Pen-Mar or Blue Ridge Summit, but the present intention is to go after leaving Hagerstown to Gettysburg, Pa., and have a service of one day there. In none of the above places are there at this time any. Salvation Army posts, but if a suitable opening presents itself in any of the towns Staff Capt. Cox will, It is under- stood, organize one..

Tke parents and friends of Maurice C. ‘Wheeler, 2 young man, twenty-one years of age, are anxiously endeavoring to ascertain his whereabouts. The young man has been missing for the past week, and though no one has ceen him geveral letters have been received with his name attached. The parents of the young man live at Riverdale, Md., but the young man himscif was stop- ping at the residence of Mr. Hough, at 131G 6th street northwest. The Wheeler family formerly lved at that place, and but re- cently moved out into Maryland. Maurice being attached to Mr. Hough, remuined at his house for a short time. - Last Monday morning at 7 o'clock young Wheeler left the house and has not been seen since. The matter was reported to the police at the time in the hope that he would be found. Since his disappearance Mr. Wheeler, the father of the boy, who is an employe in the Treasury Department, received a letter, in which his son inti- mated that he intended to commit suicide. A brother of the young man and several friends received similar letters. The com- municatior.s were brief, and simply stated that upon receipt of the same the sender would be past all troubles, feeling very un- well at the time of writing. In the same mail in which the letters came all of the parties received postal cards from the young man requesting them to disregard the letters, and saying he was feeling per- fectly well. These letters were just re- ceived yesterday, and the father this after- noon laid the whole matter before Lieut. Swindells at the seventh precinct station. Prior to that the father had made a tour of all the hospitals in the city. and enter- tained hope for a while that the boy was at Providence Hospital. A personal visit convinced nim of this mistake. Mr. Wheeler, sr., attributes che strange actions of his son to a temporary mental aberration. The boy hes been subject to these attacks. Once before he was picked up at Cambridgeport, Mass.,while his mind was wandering, and hi» parents notified by telegraph. In hopes of effecting a cure he was sent to the Bloomingdale Asylum, where he remained a short time, though at the time of leaving the house last Monday young Wheeler appeared to be all right. The father thinks he has had another at- tack of mental trouble, and while in that condition is apt 10 end his existence. A full description of the missing boy has been sent out once more to all the police stations in the city. His height is five feet eleven inches, with a slignt build. He has a prepossessing appearance, with very dark hair and black eyes. He has a florid complexion and a small scar on the chin. He was attired in a bluish checkered suit. ——_—_ ‘ ‘will Filed. The will of the late Martin Hendricks, dated July 5, 1896, was filed yesterday after- noon.

Some Pertinent Remarks on the Sub- ject by Judge Mills. In dismissing charges of profanity and assault, preferrel by Policeman Pai- rick O'Brien against Irene Dyer and Jo- sephine Washington, young colored wo- men, Judge Mills took occasion today in the Police Court to refer to the growing disposition among certain classes here to resist arrest. The courts, said the judge, will always uphold policemen in the di charge of their duty whenever possible. But the court must always We governed by the evidence, and while the judge inti- mated that his private opinion was other than that warranted by the evidence, yet the cases had not been made out, and he was, therefore, constrained to discharge the women. The policeman claimed that when he attempted to arrest the women for profanity they resisted and assaulted him. The women denied the officer's state- ments. a McKinley-Hobart-Madd.
