PERRY REMOVED
FROM OFFICE
Mystery Surrounds Dismissal of
United States Marshal for
Third Division.
By Cable to Tne Dally Gateway.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 1—A great
deal of mystery here surrounds the
removal from office of George Perry,
the United States marshal for the
Third judicial division of the ter
ritory of Alaska. No reason for the
removal has been made public, and the
fact that no successor has been named
adds to the mystery.
Admiral Dying
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Seattle, Sept. 1—Henry Glass of the
rank of rear admiral in the navy, and
on the retired list of officers, is
dying.
Quinine in Italy
The sale of quinine in Italy is car
ried on in a peculiar fashion. The
Government sells the drug to the peas
ants in malarious districts and then
uses the profit to fight malaria.
The first aim is to protect the peas
ants from mosquitoes. But it is almost
impossible to get them to take care of
the wire screens which are given them
for their houses.
As for their wearing veils and gloves
when they go abroad, as they are urg
ed by the authorities to do, anybody
who knows the Italian peasants can
guess how many of them will do it.
The Government has therefore to de
pend chiefly on draining and tilling up
the pools where mosquitoes breed and
on what is called boniticamento, or the
improvement of the land in various
ways. Last year the Government sold
to the peasants about $.'>00,000 worth of
quinine, with a net profit of about $75,
000.—The Sun.
Fire Drill
The first of the general fire drills by
the Seward fire department was con
ducted last evening under the direc
tion of Chief Hofman. The fire lad
dies responded to the call and ran the
fire apparatus down to the Seattle Bar,
quickly hoisted the ladders, ran the
hose off the reel, climbed, some to the
roof and others into the windows, and
with the water'promptlv turned on by
the superitendents of the hydrants
everything was in readiness to quench
the flames. After some further drill
the apparatus was gathered up and
returned to the fire hall.

A Unatty Story
Tacoma—W. H. Kirwin, a capitalist
who went to Cordova, Alaska, about
! six months ago to install an electric
j light and water plant there, arrived
here and is dangerously ill. Myriads
of irnats, Kirwin savs. infest the Cor
dova region, and settling on the face
and neck, bore holes and lay eggs in
the skin. These hatch out, appearing
in such numbers that the llesh is per
forated in hundreds of places by their
borings.
“The gnat has a black body,” says
i Kirwin, “and gray wings, and abounds
in that region. There is always a
swarm of them hovering around one's
head at this time of the year. A
strange thing about them is that they
do not seem to bother some people.”
Force of Habit
“Look here, Lucy,” said the stern
i parent at breakfast, “what in the
! world makes that young man take so
long to start after he announces that
he is going home?”
“Well, pa, you see, he is an auction
eer,” responded the pretty girl.
“And what has that to do with it?"
“Why, he starts off by saying, “Go
ing,’ then ten minutes later he says
‘Going’ again, then fifteen minutes
later he says ‘Gone’ and he is gone.”—

MANY MINERS
ARE QUITTING
Labor Troubles Assuming’ Seri
ous Proportions—10,000 Men
Are Out at Berkley.
By Cable to Tlie Daily Gateway.
Cheyenne, Sept. 1—The troubles be
tween operators and miners are rap
idly assuming serious proportions, and
threaten to involve a large part ot the
couutrv. Mines are being closed
down and men in great numbers are
out of imployment. 10,000 are report
ed out at Berkley.
Bedbugs on the Wing
New York—Along with a plague of
moths, a consignment of about all of
Jersey’s mosquito crop and a period
of oppressive heat, New York has at
last come in for something entirely
! new in discomfort—flying bedbugs.
! This is according to the deductions
made by Dr. Edmund B. Southwick,
! tlie city entomologist, who has heard
I of the complaints from the Bronx,
! where residents for the last two days
have been battling with a horde of
| small black-winged bugs that are
• about a quarter of an inch long, with
humped, convex backs.
These, according to Dr. Southwick,
are undoubtedly one of live or six sorts
of insects that belong to the bedbug
family and have a bite that is worse
than that of any mosquito.—New Or
leans Times-Democrat.
Pineapples for Diptheria
Pineapple juice is a sovereign rem
edy for diptheria. When the fact was
; first discovered is uncertain, but it has
| been known for a number of years by
Hawaiians, and recently a number of
mainland physicians have tested it
who vouch for its efficacy. The juice
is pressed from the fresh fruit, and
sweetened, or it may be used from the
canned fruit with very satisfactorr re
sults, and is then adminsstered by
spoonfuls to the sufferer for some time.
The acids of the fruit seem to digest
the membrane which causes the clos
ing of the throat, and the relief is ap
parent almost at once. Cures are re
ported of cases of diptheria in which
all other remedies had failed.—Hawaii
