GIRI IN BUSINESS OF KILLING RATS MAGIC FOOD IS LURE

Gertrude Heitler Suooeeds to Father's Trade Has Crews of Men to Work Aboard Ships and in Buildings.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—New York now has the only official woman rat catcher In the world. Through the recent death of her father, William A. Helter, last except one of the old-time rodent exterminators who caught them with their bare hands, Gertrude Helter, slim of form, has become his successor. In the little, messed up room .at 394 Broome street, that Is laboratory, rat cage and vermin exterminator manufactory, she can be found any of these days poring over the score sheet which details the operations of her rat catching crew in ships, hotels, and dwellings. If she is In one of her light moods—and she Is generally—she maybe found tweaking the tall of Fifl, her pet house rat, or Mozart, hoary father of many generations of wharf rodents.

Afraid of rats? Miss Heiter gazed In astonishment, and then grinned in sympathy with the barber from the shop next door, as she rubbed Fill's head and flicked away from Mozart a piece of rye bread that he was methodically eating in circular nibbles. "Not me," she laughed, "I love all animals, Why, ferrets, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs and squirrels are the nicest of all. You ought to have seen the prize guinea pigs I just sold this morning, and some of the pigeons we have at home, in Red Bank."

Miss Helter passessea what the old successors to the Pied Piper of Hamllntown had—a magnetic influence that keeps sharp-teethed rodents in blissful subjection. She does not use any magic flute, and she does not sing any tunes to them. All Jier life Miss Heiter has known ratjj—imported, domestic, lean and fat. Her father, when twelve years old went to work for Harry Jennings, called Dick the Rat, and until he died recently forty-flve years later, he did nothing but kill rats. His score was nearly half a million, and In ail that time he boasted he never used poison. In the old days he cleaned the great hotels and apartment hoyses, but the era of fireproof construction swept along, and his efforts were limited to dwellings, steamships and sailing vessels.

Miss Heiter, as directing head of the business, now sends her crews of rat killers daily to the New York piers. The Clyde and Mallory line steamships are among those thoroughly searched by them every time they come into the port.

The greatest asset of the business Is the magio food, which is used to lure the rats to an untimely end by a blow of a strap or a pair of Iron tongs. Dick, the Rat, inventel it, and Heiter added a few more Ingredients. When the crew, who always work in the dark, flitting about gloomy, smudgy places by the flicker of a searchlight, drop that magic potion about there is a scurry.

Most of the rodents caught are killed immediately. In the days when germ culture was just becoming known, thousands were used for experiments, purposes by hospitals. But the wharf and ordinary house rat has a disposition not attuned to familiarity. He bites and scratches and Injuries so Inflicted generally are followed by blood poisoning. So nowadays the hospitals and experiment stations rear their own rats, generally white ones, or experiment with guinea pigs.

WINGED ANTS ATTACK SAND PIT WORKERS

Both Men and Horses Bitten by the Insects, Which Swarmed by the Million.

FT. COLLINS, Colo.. Oct. 2.— Workers In the sand pits near Wellington have been twice driven from their work in two days by swarms of winged ants. The insects have a bite that is almost as virulent as the sting of bees. They have attacked men and horses alike, causing great lumps and swelling upon the men and driving the horses nearly frantic.

These flying ants are the hatch of this year. When they attain maturity they are equipped with wings, and during the hottest days come to the surface of the sand pits, where many of them fly away. Some are caught by the older workers in the anthills and they are shorn of their wings and carried back into the galleries to become Industrious members of the community.

Twice in two days teams have run away from the seed, where the insects were emerging in clouds. Men have had to take gunny sacks and whip into the swarms to drive them away. They have killed millions of them in this manner.
