That gang of gypsies which made this
place a social call , last week , didn't do a
: hing to some of the credulous natives.
They had some marvelous tricks to per-
brm for the bewilderment of the vic
tims , but all had the same inevitable
finale : In the idiom of the street , they
pinched everything within range and
sloped with it. But it all ended when
he main squeeze of the police force , our
own Deacon Wilson , waltzed out clothed
n the uidjesty and dignity of the law ,
ik-awise a straw hat and a tin star of the
uo'lest proportions of a dish-pan , and
with an eloquent gesture of his intel-
ectual left foot bade them begone in-
tanter lest they precipitate chaos in un-
imited quantities. It is unnecessary to
add that their departure was of the sud-
len varietj * .
The Enemy at Manila.
Manila and the Antilles contain , it
may in connection with the foregoing be
noted , a foe with which the Board of
Strategy has not reckoned. It is the
mosquito. There is the real enemy ,
'he damage from marksmen and ma
chetes is insignificant by comparison.
? here are other foes , of course. There
s the climate to begin with. But it is an
exploded notion that to the unacclimat-
ed the atmosphere of the tropics is nec-
ssarily pernicious. It is an exploded
lotion , too , that it is responsible for dis-
ases commonly attributed to it. An-
jemia is frequent , but it is not due to
icat. Moscow is as familiar with it as
Manila. Certain affections of the liver
are also frequent. These , however , are
of parasitic origin and by proper precau
tions may be avoided. Sunstroke also
is due to a microbe , and that , as the
writer has seen it somewhere finely
stated , "in spite of the mistaken etiology
perpetuated by erroneous nomenclature. ' '
There remains the vibrion of malaria
and the bacillus of fever , which , like the
wind , have been supposed to come no
one knew whence and to blow whereso
ever it listed. Recent investigations
have traced these germs to a definite
agency. It is the mosquito that conveys
them. There is the enemy. Edgar Sal-
tus in Collier's Weeklv.
Recognizes His Merit.
It is gratifying to observe the fact that
our former citizen , F. H. Spearman , is
being recognized in literary circles of the
highest in the land. His articles are be
ing received by such eminent periodicals
as Harper's in which two of his articles
will appear , in the near future , one of
"Round Table" for .
them in the June.
Mr. Spearman is a forceful , pungent , ac
curate writer of entertaining and in
structive articles of recognized value.
