Schmolowitz had waited until Isa dor Stebel, tho husband of the wo man, had left the Stebel home In Williamsburg to go to work in Man hattan.

The Danish government proposes an international war against rats. It has approached the diplomatic corps on the subject, and international rat congresses and an international anti rat league may result. There has been a great deal of agi tation on the rat plague question since the discovery that rats are mainly instrumental in spreading the bubonic plague. Lately hygienists have held them responsible for propa gating other diseases, and Anally economists have taken to figuring up what their cost in damages to the countries of Christendom is. A Danish statistician, for instance, estimates that they destroy 10,000, 000 crowns, or about $2,000,000 worth of property annually, in evon so small a country as Denmark. Ano ther authority ventures the opinion that their yearly cost to the world, independent of disease, is at least $100.000,000. Local efforts have often been made to suppress the plague, but, as In tho case of the mosquito, partial mea sures are ineffectual. The rats mi grate to a greater or less dogree, both by sea and land, and whenever they come they multiply with amazing ra pidity. lt is stated that one pair will produce as many as 800 rats in their lives, at the rate of 50 or so a year. The plan now outlined is to arouse universal interest In the warfare by the proposed international congress. All the nations taking part officially would be expected to Institute active measures through their quarantine and health ofHcialB. Property owners are td be urged or even compelled under penalty to ex terminate rats on their premises, anil municipalities aro to hunt them in sewers and along the water front. A bounty, lt is suggested, may be offer ed for slaughter in the rural districts. Further to check their importation from one country into another some system of quarantine for ships, per haps with penalties for rat infected ones, is proposed, the port authori ties In large harbors supplying fumi gation apparatus to drive them out of the recesses of the ship in which they find shelter. Denmark is said to be very much in earnest In tho crusade, and with out walting for the congress, and- by way of object lesson for lt, she will begin at once to adopt all the known means of extermination In her own cities.

Kersey was found in a hotel in the city of 'lampa Monday, with an emp ty morphine bottle by his side. On his breast was a picture of his fiancee and himself, while pinned nearhy was the message: "In life we loved each other, and in death only are we to part." There were also sealed letters left for his business partner, I. D. Camp bell, 69 Neal street, Atlanta; his fa ther, J. Wi Kersey, Dillon, S. C., and Miss Frances TImmerman, a 17-year old girl of Tampa, Fla.

O. U. Martin Announces His Inten tions-Governor Ansel Still Quiet. Columbia, Nov. 13-The announce ment by Superintendent O. B.

Mr. Martin ls pcsonally very popular with the om"inl8 In the Capitol, where his genia? manners and warm nearie j methods help to dispel some of the architectural and professional gloom of thc big stone house, and he will be missed when he vacates his j present office, whether it be to cheer the National Capitol with his renii nant of red hair and his accumula tion of anecdotes, or to ruminate on his farm in lower Richland.

There has been a very strong im pression in the Capitol and in politi cal circles generally that Mr. Ansel would enter the race for tho seat held now by Senator Latlmer, but so far as any utterance of the Governor himself is concerned there ls no rea son to predict that he will do so.
