RAIDED A VILE DIVE.LARGE SI.ICE OF LULU BROWN’S OUTFIT LANDED IN THE COUNTY JAILJiBall Is Shortly Froducud For the Women, and They Are Once More Befouling: the Free Atmosphere.Down on Poplar street near Water there is a den of moral reptiles. It was raided last night by Captain Hyland, Sergeant Beattie and Patrolmen Gardner, McCabe and« « « km * A.Weddle. Lulu Brown, a negro wench of infamous reputation, was arrested and slatedas the keeper of the place. She was ac-• .companied to jail by the following members of her leprous family: Ollie Ash, Lillie Smith, Mamie Smith and Dora Mallory, all• colored, and with characters many shades blacker than their skins. This redolent aggregation had the following male companions, all negroes, in the patrol wagon: Win. Hunter, Calvin Thomas, James Hicklan,• Mack WfPfelier, John H. Johnson and John Davis. It is not.known how many of these names are fictitious, but probably most of them are. Shortly after the females were j failed a friend of theirs appeared and bailed them out. The men were still locked up it last accounts.There was a scene at the dive when the fact that a raid was on became known to the inmates and their fellow-lepers of the masculine gender. Lulu Brown's house looks like a very small affair from the outside, but it rambles and never quits rambling on the inside. It would be taken to i contain about three rooms while as a mat-ter of fact it contains about four limes three rooms. It is full of doors and dolge-ways. Even an experienced policeman finds himself puzzled and nonplused by its strange and mazy inerior. It is probable that the den was built this way on purpose, the owner being qi*^e sure that she would have a place that the police ought to pull every night and every day until there should be nothing left to pull.This was the house the five officers attempted to command last night. The attempt was a large one and was only partially successful. The moment the alarm ran through the resorr. rhat “the coppers were coming” there was a stampede. All the women and all the men, probably a total of eighteen or twenty persons, tried to lose themselves in the labyrinths. Some did not trust to evading detection and capture indoors, but piled out of windows and lied through the chilly night. The police did their best to keep the undertaking in hand but could not do so. There was such tumultuous scudding about the premises; such slamming of doors and such a lightning disappearance act on ail sides that the officers could not keep up with the perform-ord have been arrested and landed behind the bars, but something or oiher s ;ems to have hedged this Brown woman about and to have shelterd her from th frown of the law. The reeking scandal has gone on long enough*. Lulu Brown's den should be stamped out like a nest of vipers.It is understood the raid last night was precipitated by the impudence of Madam Brown .permitting music to be played in her house after 11 o’clock, contrary to police orders, and in allowing her girls to go out.'in carriages.

This will strike the average person as the rarest edition of morals yet out. The Brown dive is crowded li ght after night, the most horrible exhibitions taking place after midnight, and it should not be suffered to continue another * wenty-four hours.POTATO SCAB.A New Remedy Which Will Kill thTroablefurme Germ.The experiment station of Purdue University, through Professor J. C. Arthur, botanist, has issued the appended bulletin:“Potato scab is a source of material loss to thdse who grow potatoes for the market, and a great blemish in all cases. It Is one of the triumphs of practical botany that the cause of this trouble has been traced to a minute germ that feeds on the surface of the potato tuber and to a less extent on other fleshy roots and tubers. It has also beenofund that a suitable fungicidewill kill the germs on the tubers without.injuring the growth of the potatoes. Corrosive sublimate meets the requirements and has been advocated by the Purdue experiment station, where its application originated. So effective has it been found, so cheap and easy to apply, that many large growers, who get extra prices for their crops by having high-grade product, have adopted that treatment as a regular thing“The deadly poisonous nature of corrosive sublimate however has kept it from coining into general use. It is, therefore, considered a matter of considerable moment to be able to announce the discovery of a new fungicide for potato scab, one that is thoroughly efficient and not poisonous. The new substance is formalin (sometimes called formaldehyde), a watery solution of a gas, not very expensive and rapidly coming into favor as a general antiseptic, so that it is likely to become still cheaper andl$79i bou Wil $45lt; sey 2:12 of I bou was A Mik Dan Hue of 1 of 1 T dayFi McG Biel Fr b. h Phil Bi B1 B;Figeldbetter known.

Eleven were caught and loaded into the patrol wagon. It was a lot of freight for one horse to pull and the time made on the way to jail was not rapid. It. looked sometimes as though the whole party would stick fast in some of the alleys.‘The method of using the new fungicide Vs very simple. Eight ounces of the formalin are added to fifteen gallons of water, and in this the seed potatoes are soaked for two hours. After taken from the bath they can be cut and placed as usual, either at once or after some time. Formalin is not corrosive, and so can be used in any kind of vessel, and, not being poisonous, there are no particular precautions to be observed. It does, however, make the hands smart, if there are any raw spots, and the fumes irritate the eyes and throat. But these are only slight annoyances.
