HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 1. Undoubtedly
tho tnnst remarknblo menagorlo ever gath
ered together Is tho one maintained at the
llttlo vlltago of Quomados, near this city.
Hero lu small glass Jars arc carefully kept
captives moro dangerous than the beasts of
tho biggest circus that over advertised Its
mancatcrs to a gaping public. These are
tho United States army's yellow fevor mos
quitoes; moro highly valued nnd moro ten
derly nurtured tlmn over woro Insects bo
(ore. Each has her own prlvata apartment
It Is only tho fctnalo mosquito that im
parts tho dreaded disease whero oho Is
watchod over, tended, and fed with the re
spect duo to an Individual who may havo
killed her man or men.
It la now nn established fact that Yellow
Jack's oralssary is a certain species ot mos
quito, Stcgomyla fasclata. Without tho aid
of this winged mercury tho pestilence would
soon dlo out, for, so far as can bo ascer
tained, no other living crcnturo becomes In
fected with and transmits tho germ to man.
Not without tho martyrdom to sclcnco ot
valued lived was tho responsibility of tho
mosquito established. No sooner was tho
theory fully confirmed than tho medical au
thorities of Havana set about gathering
their mcnagorlo of theso insects, and the
work has gono on over since. Tho popula
tion of tho mooqulto laboratory, depleted
by deaths by dlseaso, accident or old age,
was supplemented by tho capturo ot new
specimens, who had bitten yellow fever
patients, or by tho Infection ot Insects bred
from tho egc for that purpose.

Tho experiment!) providing that yellow
fever Is Imparted, not by contact with In
fected clothing or bedding, but by tho blto
of tho Stcgomyla, aro of such unusual nn
turo as to bo worthy of general attention.
At Camp Lazcar, near Qucmados, named
In memory of tho doctor win. was tho first
victim to experimental tclcnco In this line,
mosquitoes woro deposited after having
bitten yellow fever patients In tho early
stages of tho disease. Theso mosquitoes
wcro kept without food until they were
very hungry and wcro then turned loose
upon flvo nou-lmmuncs who had volun
teered. Tho lmmuncs woro promptly at
tacked 'by tho blood-thirsty creatures and
four of tho flvo dovolopcd light, but distinct,
cases of yellow fever within thu recog
nized period. AH of them had been quaran
tined for a sufficient period before tho test
to render it Impossible that they should
havo contracted tho disease In any other
way. In another building near by a room
was carefully screened off so that no In
sects could gain access to it. It was kept
tightly closed for slxty-threo days, so that
nny unfortunoto mosquito who might have
lodged thoro phould utnrvo to death. Into
this room n quantity of infoctod clothing
nnd boddlng from tho yellow fovor hospi
tal was taken and thrco non-lmmuno vol
unteers spent twenty nights thcro. sleeping
on tho bedding nnd In pajamas taken from
tho bodies ot yollow fover victims. None
of them took tho fover. Twlco afterward
othor groups underwent tho samo test with
tho samo result.
Even moro convincing wcro tho experi
ments carried on nt Camp Luzcar In a soc
ond building. Iluildlng No. 2 was thor
oughly screened nt windows and doors
nnd across Its center from celling to door
ran a doublo ncreon ot flno wlro mesh. In
tno room on ono sldo of this scrcon mos
quitoes known to havo been Infected by
biting yellow fovor patients wcro lot loose.
Tho room nt tho othor Bldo of tho screen
waB thoroughly protoctod against tho cn
tranco of any mosquito whatovor. In tho
sldo frco from mosquitoes a number of
mon who had never had yellow fover slept
night nftor night without developing any
pymptoms ot tho dlseaso. Men who merely

ease Thus again It was demonstrated that
tho mosquito acta as tho vohlclo by which
infection is transmitted.

SHU thcro was much to be dono in tho
study of tho infected Insects and ot the
development of tho fovor through the
ngoncy of their bites. A special dopart-
mont for tbo breeding, raising, infecting

For the third tlmo in tho history of the
nation a president ot the United States has
perished at the hands ot an assassin. On
each occasion tho crime was committed
while the president was seeking relaxation
from tho cares of ofllce. President Lincoln
was shot and mortally wounded whllo wit
nessing a theatrical performance. Presi
dent Garfield was shot down In a railroad
station as he was about to take n train to
Join his family at a seaside resort. Presi
dent McKlnley was tho honored guest of tho
city of Iluflalo, receiving tho homago duo
tho chief cxccutlvo of tho nation, wh-jn
mortally wounded by an aeeassln In tho
gulso of a friend.
The first dastardly crlmo was committed
April 11, 1S6G, and tho victim of tho
atrocious deed was Abraham Lincoln. At
noon on that fatal day tho prosldcnt's cabi
net held n meeting and (Irani, who had re
ceived the surrender of Loo on April 9, was
present, and there was general rejoicing In
tho fact that tho war was ovtr. In 'he
evening tho president with his -wife, .Mlrs
Clara Harris, a daughter of Senator Imrils
of Now York, and Mnjor Hathbono qf tho
United States nrmy, occupied n box near tho
stago at Ford's theater, Washington. John
Wllkos Booth, an nctor and a conspirator,
who had ngrecd with several persons that
tho president's life should bo taken at tho
first opportuno moment, approached tho box
from tho rear. It was 10:30 o'clock and nil
thoso present wcro absorbed In tho play.
Dooth crept cautiously to the rear ot tho
box and, holding his pistol within a tew
Inches of tho president's head, fired, tho
ball tnklng effect nt tho baso of the brain.
President Lincoln fell forward, Insensible.
In tho confusion which followed llooth es
caped from the theater. Tho president ns
carried to a house on tho opposite sldo of
the street, where ho lay dying through tho
hours of tho night. At 7:22 o'clock on tho
morning of April 15, 1SC5, ho died. An.lrow
Johnson, the vlco president, was sworn In
during tho forenoon.
Tho funeral of tho president took placo
Wednesday, April 19, a most distinguished
assemblage coming together at tho Whlto
Houso to do honor to the noblo dead. Ills
body was homo to tho capltol, whero It lay
In state In tho rotunda for ono day, guarded
by a company of high officers of tho army
and navy and a detachment ot soldiers. Tho
funeral train loft Washington for Spring
field, III., on April 21 and passed over the
samo routo that had been parsed over by
tho president-elect from Springfield to
Washington flvo years before Nearly 2,000
miles wcro traversed and tho coplo lined
tho entire dlBtanco almost without a break
In tho great procosston that was tho most
unique funeral cortego In history. They
Btood with uncovered heads, silent with
grief, often In the pelting rain, an tho end
procession went by. In tho darkness of tho
night watch fires blazed and tho grief of tho
peoplo was In every way apparent.

Stories About McKinley
President McKlnloy was not much of a
story teller, but ho was nn excellent listener
and possessed n keen eenso of humor.
Stories now going tho rounds illustrato
theso characteristics In official and prlvato
life. Previous to his first inauguration hla
acquaintance with tho members of his
cab)not was n slight one, only Mr. Stierman
being nt all tntlmato with tho chief execu
tive. Tho getting acquainted was rathor ot
slow process, as nil woro engrossed in tholr
new and Intrleato duties.
In the satisfactory ond bo completely ac
complished tho formal cabinet dinners wcro
no Inconaldernblo factor, or, to bo moro
exact, tho informal talks following .the
dlunor proper, after tho cabinet women
had sought n placo to Bpln social chat and
permitted the men to smoko and swap
Ideas.
Ono evening tho conversation chanced to
turn upon tho youthful ambitions of tho
mombors. Each rotated his early plans for
tho future, and when Secretary Wilson's
turn camo tho gonial Iowan said:
"My ambition has not yet been realized.
I wanted to bo worth $1,000,000 and havo
two good pairs ot suspenders at tho samo
tlmo. As yet I havo nolther."
Tho cablnot unofficially laughed at this
frank confession, and Secretary Gago, af
ter a minute, confessed that ho had never
simultaneously possessed two pairs of de
pendable suspenders. Secretary Long re
marked that when he graduated from Har
vard ha had two pairs of new trousers,
each with good now "gallusscs," hut that
tho experience had never responded to an
encore.
Others mado similar confessions, and
finally Secretary D)tss, tho wealthiest man
present, said, with a laugh: "This seems
to bo a strango coincidence Last Saturday
ovonlng Mrs. Illlss camo Into my study
and said: 'Papa, aro you going out at all
this ovonlng?' I replied that I did not bo
lntond, and asked tho reason ot her ques
tion. " 'Oh, nothing,' sho ropllod. 'Only, if you
nre not, Ed, our son, wants to uso your only
good suspenders.' "
As a sort ot final course to this tnlo Mr.
McKlnloy tells that Secretary Wilson re
lated this conversation at tbo breakfast ta
bio tho morning following. Three ot his
children woro present. It wns In the early
holiday season. Each of tho children sat

and In tho figurative stocking of tho secre
tary of ogrlculturo wero found threo dozen
ralrs of cuspendors of a high degrco of ex
cellence. The children had remembered tho story.
All then that Secretary Wilson needed to
roallzo his boyish ambition was the million
dollars. On tho Bamo Christmas It Is said
that President McKlnloy presented each
momber of his official family with two pairs
ot suspenders.

Doc2rlonoxr II Lincoln, Garfield,
dent of tho United States, was tho second
ot the martyred presidents. On July 2, 1SS1,
President Garfield had arranged to attend
tho commencement exercises at Williams
college, and he also expected to make a
rather extended visit through tho New Kng
land Mates. Ho went to tho station of tho
Ilaltlmoro & Ohio railroad accompanied by
his secretary ot stnto, James O. Ulalno.
Tho party passed through tho door of tho
ladles' waiting room, whero a fow peoplo
wero standing. Among them was a man
who was afterward known to bo Charles
Jules Oulteau. Tho president walked nrra-lu-arra
with Mr. Dtalne, and tho man mado
n step ns If to follow them. He drew a
heavy revolver from his pocket and taking
aim, deliberately fired. President Garfield
said nothing, but looked at Gulteau In a
surprised wuy. Secretary Illalno sprang to
tho sldo of the president. Gulteau then re
cocked his revolver nnd fired again. This
time tho president fell to tho floor covered
with blood. Gulteau turned to lice, drop
ping hU pistol, but was Immediately cap
tured. The president neither stirred nor
Fpakc until nn umbulanco was summoned
and ho was driven to the Whlto House,
whero hu was immediately attended by tho
best physicians In Washington. Tho physi
cians, nnd especially Dr. Illlss, considered
that It would bo dnngcrous to probo for tho
ball because of the nature of tho wound.
They thought tho president very near to
death, but tho diagnosis proved not alto
gether correct, as tho president continued
to linger, nnd finally it was decided to re
movo him to Elbcron, near Long Dranch,
and tho sea breczo seemed to bring new llfo
to him for awhile. For eighty days ho
lived and suffered whllo tho whole nation
hung upon tho reports of the dally bulletins
and all tho civilized nations ot tno world
sent out expreislsns of sympathy.
On Monday, September 19, death relieved
him from his sufferings. Tho remains wcro
removed to Washington nnd lay In stato
until September 23. On tho day of tho
Interment at Cloveland thero was a gen
ernl suspension of business In tho United
States, and for tho first tlmo in Europo
thero was court mourning ordered for an
official of tho United States.
Tho attack upon President McKlnley was
mado whllo ho wns receiving tho people
nt it public reception In tho Tcmpla of
Music, In tho Pan-American exposition, on
Friday afternoon. It was tho third day of
tho president's visit to tho fair. Ho went
to Niagara Falls In tho morning, and on
his return ta Duffnlo repaired to tho Templo
of Music and took hla stand with President
Mllburn of tho Exposition company at tho
bend of tho aisle. Tho peoplo wero to enter
tho building from tho Esplunado and fllo
by tho president and pass out at tho western
exit. Exposition police formed an aislo
from the door to near whero tho president
stood, then artillerymen formed a still nar
rower lane, and, finally, thero wob moro
guards to pass the people on out nftcr shak

than tho proverbial hen's teeth. Ono Mr.
Monroe, formerly a congressman from tho
Oberlln district, was tho leading republican
of the village, nnd usually entertained po
litical orators of tho party when they vis
ited "tho city." During Mr. McKlnloy's
first gubernatorial campaign Prof. Monroo
had tho pleasuro of entertaining tho candi
date. Aftor dinner on tho'ovenlng preced
ing tho address Mr. McKlnley took a cigar
from his pocket and casually remarked:
"You don't mind If I smoke, do you, pro
fessor?" Mr. Monroo was aghast. Ho didn't wish
to appear Inhospitable yet dreaded tho al
most certain social ostracism duo to follow
tho discovery of a smoker on his piazza,
evon bo ho tho proBpoctlvo governor of tho
great state. Ho compromised by conducting
Mr. McKlnley to tho second floor, through
a long hall to a back balcony, whero, safely
screened from public vlow, tho weod was
enjoyed. As tho nmoko curled upward, In
stinctively McKlnloy looked about him for
a cuspidor. "Thero Isn't such n thing In
town," said Prof. Monroe. A coal bucket
was finally impressed into Bcrvlco as a
compromise
Two days after tho Oberlln mooting Mr.
McKlnley apoko lu East Llvorpool, tho great
pottery center. Chancing to mention tho
Oberlln oxpcrlenco to his friend. Colonol
John N. Taylor, tho proprietor of ono of tho
big potteries, ho eatd:
"Dy tho way, Taylor, Just for a Joke, send
a gross of your china spittoons to Prof.
Monroe Don't tell him whero thoy camo
from or ho will suspect that I had a hand
in it."
Following tho suggestion, Colonel Taylor
crated up an assortment of really beautiful
chlnawaro and sent it on to Oberlln. A year
later Mr. McKlnley again was Mr. Monroo's
guest. Forewarned and consequently fore
armed with a liberal supply of good Ha
vanas, ho again sought tho secluded nnd
vlno-drapcd balcony. Lighting his cigar, he
said with n twlnklo of his eye:
"You haven't a cuspidor in town, yet,
have you, Monroo?"
"It's mighty funny," was tho response,
"but a few days after you wore hero last
year somo one sent md n wholo crate of
those things. Ot course, I hadn't any uso
for them and they wero such nlca china
and so prettily painted that my wlfo UBfd

Tho reception began at two minutes nftcr
4 o'clock. Several thousands of peoplo ex
pected to greot tho president. After a num
ber had passed by, a mother and her little
girl camo along, then thcro camo, nt 4:07
o'clock, n man dressed Uko a mechanic,
with his hand wrapped In a handkerchief,
ns if tt wero bandaged. It was Leon
Czolgosz, who calls himself Fred Nlcmnn,
a Cleveland anarchist, Inspired by tho
teachings of Emma Goldman. He had a
pistol wrapped In tho handkerchief a short
barreled 32-callbcr revolver. Tho president
glanced at him, nnd stopped toward him
with an expression of sympathy for the
supposed sufferer.
Czolgosz thrust out both his hands,
brushed asldo tho president's right hand
with his left hand, lurched forward
against tho president and, thrusting his
right hand closo against his breast, pulled
tho revolver trigger twice. Tho shots came
In such quick succession ns to bo almost
slmultnnous. At tho first shot tho president
qulvored nnd clutched at his chest. At tho
second shot ho doubled slightly forwnrd
nnd sank back. Quick as was Czolgosz, he
was not quick enough to flro a third shot.
Almost before tho nolso of tho firing
sounded ho wns seized by S. U. Ireland, a
United States secret servlco man, who stood
directly oppostto tho president, and hurled
to tho floor. A hugo negro named J. U.
Parker leaped upon him ns ho fell and they
rolled over on tho floor. Soldiers of the
United States artillery, detailed at tho re
ception, sprang upon tho pair, and exposi
tion pollco and secret servlco dotecttvos
nlso rushed upon them. Czolgosz's pistol
was taken from him, and bo was pinned to
tho lloor.
Tho president, supported by Detcctlvo
Geary and President Mllburn, nnd BUr
rounded by Secretary Ocorgo II, Cortelyou,
Edward It. Itlce, James L. Quackenbush,
John N. Scatcherd, Louts L. Ilabcock nnd
exposition officials, was aided to a chair.
Ho mado no outcry, but sank back with ono
hand holding his abdomen, tho other fumb
ling nt his breast. His eyes wcro open
and ho was clearly conscious of all that
happened. Ho looked up Into President
MUburn's faco nnd gasped tho namo of his
secretary, Cortelyou. Mr. Cortelyou bent
over tho president, who gasped, brokenly:
"Ho careful about my wife. Do not tell
her."
Then moved by n paroxysm of pain ho
writhed to tho loft and his eyes fell upon
tho prostrato form of his would-be mur
derer lying on tho floor, bloodstained and
helpless beneath tho blows of tho guard.
Tho president raised his right hand, stained
with his own blood, nnd placed It on tho
shoulder of his secretary.
"Let no ono hurt him," ho gasped, and
sank back.
For soven days tho peoplo ot tho nation
prayed and watched with heartfelt eager

beforo Mr. McKlnloy becamo a national
tlguro Masslllon wns quite Jealous of Can
ton and declined to accept a bit ot tho re
flected glory of having tho congressman
from tholr county. Indeed, tho town oven
held tho present president up In undignified
contrast with tho astuto Now York boss.
Then Mr. Coxey assumed microscopic pro
portions and Masslllon becamo vainglorious;
but Canton replied by selecting Senator
Charles Mandcrson of Nebraska to success
fully knock tho flguratlvo chip from tho
Maielllonlan shoulder. For Mr. Mandcrson
practiced law in Canton nnd vicinity early
in his career, and ono of his nmuslng ex
periences was so pleasing to Mr. McKlnloy
that ho frequently told It to members of
tho houso when Manderson was senator ond
strolled over to tho south sldo of tho capl
tol to lndulgo In a llttlo luter-lcglslatlvc
repartee
In tho very outset of his career Mr. Man
dcrson was a momber ot tho firm of Man
dcrson & Greenwood, In tho llttlo villago of
Minerva, twelve miles south of Stark's busy
county seat. Mr. Greenwood still lingers
there, but Mr. Mandcrson forsook tho par
ent nest when his wings becamo atroug
enough. At tho tlmo ot this oxpcrlenco tho
fnlr form of prosperity had not visited tho
firm of Manderson & Greenwood to roost on
Its shingle, andt there wns no great monoy
In tho flrm'i: strong box. In short, tho
business was confined chiefly to collecting
bad debts. Even thta business led to em
barrassment of dlvorso nature Onco Mr.
Mandcrson had collected a small bill for a
rather talkative and cnergotlc widow, but
tho offlco rent becoming duo, had applied
tho funds to liquidate this obligation and
keep a roof over tho heads of tho firm.
Tho widow learned that tho bill had been
paid and called frequently to sccuro hor
collateral, but Mr. Manderson Invariably
saw her coming and skipped out of a sldo
door as sho entered tho front, and Mr.
Greonwood sent her away, partially pacified
by a llttlo Judicious flattory. Finally, ono
day her approach was so rapid that tho sldo
exit was imposslblo nnd tho situation was
desperato. Necessity, tho common mother
of Invention and alortnoss, pointed out the
Inrgo wood box and as tho woman enterod
tho offlco the lid ot tho box slammed loudly
nbovo tho bowed back of tho young dtsclplo
of Hlackstone Tho calls of tho widow had
been becoming moro and more extended as
tho supply of flattery had been slowly con
sumed, and this tlmo sho ovldently mado up
hor mind to remain until tho return ot the
rauch-nhscnt Manderson, Tho minutes
meanwhile wcro occupied In heaping abuso
upon tho head of tho recreant collector.
Finally, heat overcoming discretion, stilling
with dust nnd bleeding from numerous
oakon splinters, tho future general, United
States senator and presidential factor arose
from his point of dlsndvantagn and con
fessed his embarrassment and iniquity In
open court. The client, laughing until tho
tears rolled down her checks, permitted tho
sallno dolugo to soften hor determination
and sho accorded young Manderson sufficient
tlmo to liquidate the obligation. Ho al
ways said that this was tho most embar
rassing oxpcrlenco In either his legal, mar
tial or political career and onjoyed tho tell
