. , t l l WEEKLY Nouwntfi .g. .GAZE. fl‘Te 'Truth above at“ things.’ Entered-in the Post office as a Newspaper. FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1899. . GOOD EVENING. A strangling bug has not the remot- est connection with the lynching bee. Swimmingon the ocean beach is quiteastudy, but nobody should go too deeply into it. 0 Even electric cabs run by accumula- tors recall .the old style cabman in their heavy charges. It stands to reason that when two young people drank in the love-light of each Other’s-eye they are a kind of soft drinks.» ' ' ' While supposed to be aimed at the head or heartoiemployers, strikes as a rule hit their .victims below the belt in the pocket. ' Those who rock the .boat for fun are now heard from in .difierent quarters. It’s a pity they aremot all in the same boat another way. Kentucky’s Governorship contest is going to be close, but in such a Bour- bon famed State nobody would be sur- prised if it was tight. ,— For Fashion to say :the brunette is the favored style of beauty is as much as to assert the Brownies surpass the Fairies in interest. No increase ,of Southern lynching statistics can be noted through dark- ies being seen hanging on to water— melons no matter under what circum- stances they get them. If Admiral Dewey did express the hope that President McKinley would be re-elected the views of the Chief Executive ahd the hero of Manila are more in accord than has been reported. Although the bicycle flee is rapidly giving way to the automobile face it is yet to be determined whether the latter is worn by the man who rides on the machine or the pedestrian who has to get out of its way. The sending of so large a force of cavalry to the Philippines is undoubt- edly because the infantry cannot run fast enough to catch Aguinaldo and his soldiers. It'is necessary also that all the horses used be taught to swim. Richard Croker’s letter from Eng- land to friends in New Yox k in which he says he has not lost heavily on the English turf this year is variously in- terpreted. Many of the faithful hope" and believe it means that the chief who is expected to return very soon is not in straightened circumstances, and that their revenue from various sources willnot be curtailed for his recupera- tion. Indeed, some of the most en- thusiastic are expecting that money may be easier alllaround when the boss comes back. The Broom, long cherished. as a sym- bol of household cleanliness and indus- try, can be regarded so no longer. Science, in her unremitting and relent- less search, has found that the ordinary house broom is the habitation or breeding-place for great colonies of. bacteria, and unsanitary germs. The grip, as well as small-pox and scarlet fever, it is claimed, has been directly traced to the every-day broom. This result of scientific investigation, although it shatters a sentimental tra- dition, has unmasked an unknown evil, and should prove,on the whole,a benef- icent discovery. For. if the broom ,..must go, there must be something to replace it. Hence, invention which is ever the daughter of necessity, must be exercised, and perhaps Edison may be inspired to one of his marvelous crea- tions which shall shed increasing lustre of fame on his name, and bring inesti- mable relief to-housewives and house- maids. These same housemaids more- over, may escape correction and re- proof hitherto endured,but undeserved; for an apparently unswept room may, after all, be the result not of laziness nor negligence, but of the countless bacteria which have followed on the track of the infested besom as it play- ed across the carpet. And the street cleaners! They are probably not at ' For.

It’s the fault of the bacteria! _' ' The pity about it all is that the dis- covery did not come sooner. It might have saved much contumely and even bloodshed, for who knows but-that the once dreaded and. despised witches who rode on brooms across the sky and with whom certain ungodly mortal-s were thought to hold intercourse, may not have been perfectly harmless, the bacteria falling from their brooms be- ing responsible for the evils they were supposed to shed on humanity? Undoubtedly, the bacteria have a great deal to answer for! .how :much, we can only determine when the broom is banish-ed. WANTED.
