Newspaper Page Text,6 THE MORN IK G ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. THURSDAY, AUGUST 20 New York News Letter NEW YORK, Aug. 19,-Hemnied in by hbrdes of persistent mosquitoes that have sprung up in a night, this city is to-day at its wits end to es cape this last plague of its most pes tilential summer in many years. No Jkuman agency seems of avail against these humming pests that till every square foot of space in sun or shadow the island over. The cloud of buz zing, biting insects envelopes every living thing from Battery to Bronx and life in the summer metropolis is becoming intolerable. On the heels of the deadliest drought and fiercest tot spell in 40 years, this latest plague lias is followed by record fly swarms and the unprecedented ravages of a host of white motns. Malaria and mad dogs are rife, and the burden of the scorching, harassing summer has already fallen heavily on the health and spirits of all New Yorkers. Poli tics are yet to come; and altogether tie summer of 1908 promises much to try the temper. With bunting being unfurled by the mile and everyone on edge to do great fconor, the homecoming of the win ers in the Olympiad promises to day to be the greatest celebration of the summer here. Each schoolboy athlete, collegian and sportsman is working with might and main to make memorable the reception of the Am erican victors. The city authorities are taking up the plans for official ceremonies with a rush of enthusiasm, while business men, bankers, labor ers, lawyers and leaders in every walk of life are' enlisting in the welcoming army. Seldom has Gotham been so stirred over any event of sporting in terest as it is to-day, while the twis ters of the Lion's tail are turning homeward from Brinish soiL From swift "ships, automobile racers, air ship trials and thoroughbred gallops the public interest is turning again to the simple tests of human wind, Smb, courage and endurance. Alrea dy the effect of this revival of track sports and athletics is showing in the welling chests and muscles of an ar my of school boys, and everyone is teady to hail the change. Tor the first time since the trial of the eareless chaffeur made Central Park a 'stench in the nostrils of all New York an ordinance will to-day go into effect against the nuisance. Let one single noxious odor escape a rlvina exhaust and arrest is promised by the police stationed on every curve of of the crowded drives. The sense of speed has' been gradually acquired by the Wuecoat guardians of the park, but now their sense of smell must be vigilantly employed against the cease less procession of whirling motors. That ordinary care may save the auto muffler from becoming a horror to the nose of the crowd on foot is pro claimed a fact by the officials. Within this public playground at least, they propose to see that the machines that overrun the island are kept within the bounds of decency as well as safety. .Intent on everv twist and null of the navigable heavens, the aeronautic enthusiasts of this city are today on tip-toe over the flights of their im ported sky-pilot, Henry Farina n. For years these flying-machine cranks have confined their activities to man ning the arm-chairs of their clubs and generating enough verbal hot air to till many a mountain-sized balloon. Today, however, they have promised to provide the public with a real try at air-sailing. In the striking little person of the aeronaut's young wife the people are rinding an interest perhaps more general than . that which the new motion has yet called forth. Mrs. Farman is acting as sec retary, manager ' and professional coach to hold her husband and she has even promised to sail aloft before she leaves this city. Stock in the pro posed airship line to Boston will rise and fall as the fortunes of Farnran fluctuate. . Full in the view of half of the downtown district a score of bridge building acrobats are today starting to man the laying of the new Man hattan bridge. Over the flimsy foot paths which have just finished weav ing hundreds of feet above the river, these human flies run and wriggle while all East Side New York watches with breathless fascination. To see a flying thunder storm reach and catch these specks of men in space is worth more than any circus thriller. It will be years before the people of the town may follow over the river where the daring workers are making way; but the spectacle of their daily labors will be remembered for many years more. that you have any kick coming. That'a more than you art able' to do,-Cblcago CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS He that biowa opon dust Ilia bla res witn it-Danish rrovert. HELP WANTED She Likes Good Things. Mrs. Charles E.

The 8tery as It Is Recorded on the Tombstones. la the early part of the last centnrv tbere lived In an old New England wwn a Mr. cnurch, who, In the course us pilgrimage through this vale of tears, was bereft of four wives, all of TTDom were buried in the same lot. In Us old age it became necessary to re store the bodies to a new cemetery. Thin melancholy task the much be leaved widower undertook himself, tot In the process the bones of the la mented quartet became hopelessly mixed. Priding himself on possession f a New England conscience, Mr. Clrorch would not under the painful eircumstances, permit the use of the riginal headstones, but procured new nes, one of which bore the following juscnpiion: -uere lies Hannah Church and probably a portion of Emily." An other: "Sacred to the memory of Emi ly Church, who seems to be mixed wtth Matilda." Then followed these lines: . , Stranger, pause an(j ,jj.0p a jear Tor Emily Church lies buried here, Mixed In some perplexing manner With Mary, Matilda and probably Han nah.
