Charles D. Williams, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Michigan apologizes for a phrase delivered here in his sermon July IS at St. Bartholomew's church and was generally construed at the time as referring to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. "One phrase used in the sermon, written and spoken in the heat of indignation," writes the bishop, "Lean now see is in the nature of a personal at tackthe phrase 'a young . . scion of wealth, and greed, possessed of more dollars than Ideas.' That phrase I most sincerely regret and apologize for. It was undignified an unworthy of the occasion as well as unjust."

A POISON EPISODE. When a Famous Chemist Was SIlsAoetf In Court by a Jvdg. . There waa a famous poisoning case to England many years ago In wblcb XL atroog point of tb defense was to show that the accused, wbo was 10 expert chemist, would not have used a

poison which could be so easily found after it had been taken into the human system. Sir Robert Cbrlsteson. professor in Edinburgh university, a famous expert on toxicology, whose works nre still standard on that subject, was put on the stand to prove this point. When be declared that a chemist would certainly use some poison which would leave no trace, tbe prosecuting attorney asked him If be meant to say that there were such poisons. Sir Robert replied in tbe affirmative. The prosecutor asked. "Name thenar -Nor shouted the Judge. -1 forbid you to answer that question r In spite of the protests of tbe prosecutor the judge would not allow tbe expert publicly to give tbe name of a L poison which would leave no trace. and tbe question remained unanswered. Now comes tbe curious part of tbe story; During tbe next two years Sir Robert received more than 4.000 letters from atl parts of tbe world ask ing, begging, offering to buy. the name of tbe untraceable poison alluded to In his testimony. Many of these be kept as curiosities, showing them to bis friends as evidence of tbe depravity of human nature. Some of the excuses for . wanting the name of the poison wer very ingenious. One man was writing a hovel tased on a poison plot and wanted to make use of the untraceable -Doison. idea. He did not want to gtve the name of the poison in his boek. but Just wanted to have it by him In case any scientific critic should deny tbe possibility of such pol sops, when be - could send him tbe name In a private-letter and quote the ".distinguished authority" from whom It came, etc. Several persons profess ed to be studying chemistry and asked for the information on tbe ground of professional courtesy. To all such Sir Robert would send the advice to pur sue their studies and tbey would soon know 'as much about It - as- he did. Many offered large sums of money for the secret, usually pretending tbey had bet still larger amounts that tbey could, find It out In a given time and were willing to share their profits lib erally with Sir Robert. Tbe thing which most Impressed Sir Robert was the number of persons all over the world "who seemed desirous of , possessing the secret o an agent that would kill, but leave no trace, and the amazing falsehoods to which they would subscribe their names In order to obtain tbe Information. It ts said that whatever poison Sir Robert had in mind at the trial be never mentioned it. not even to his classes, so strong-' ly 'was" he 'Impressed with' the danger of letting such a thing, become matter of public knowledge. - -Washington's Spring. The first thin? that greets the eyes of a stranger alighting from tbe train at Cold Spring, a village resting snugly In tbe highlands of the Hudson. It Washington's spring. Inclosed by three bowlders In the rough., which, as one approaches, are seen to contain a tiny pool of spouting water. An Inscription In relief upon the bronte plate announces that "General George Washington, in frequent visits to tbe American troops encamped near by during the war of the Revolution., drank of this spring and gave It Its name. Cold spring." , The encampments referred to wcrt principally upon the famous Constitution island, just below, to which wn attached one end of the great chain which was stretched across: the rivet to West Point and checked navigation by tbe British warships during the Revolution. WITHEREDJY HEAT Vegetation in Kansas Blistered and Three Deaths . Are Reported. RIVERS ARE DRYING UP. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 17. Unusually intense heat, officially recorded by the government" " weather bureau as high as HO degrees caused, at least three . deaths, numerous prostrations and did much damage to crops yesterday in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma." Throughout the southwest the day was the most trying since the devas tating drought of 1901. As the withering wincJs swept across the plains, much vegetation fell. The' day was the hottest Topeka has had for eight years, 102 degrees bein officially recorded. Two - prostrations resulted here. ' The past eight days in Kansas, each with a maximum temperature above IX) degrees and a minimum which has not been below 70, is the hottest period of that length of time since 1901. In Oklahoma City, the government thermometer registered 103, while the thermometers in the business district reached 112. It was the hottest day recorded there in 15 years. Dispatches state that Oklahoma crops have been materially damaged by the ! sultry wind. At Muskogee- the government thermometer registered 110. . A hot wind blew all day at McAleter with the temperature at 108. Vegetation there is being killed, and cotton is materially damaged. MYou persuaded, your husband to Joiu a glee club?"! "Yes." answered Mrs. Bliggins. "When be starts to slug st home I can now advise, him not to tire bis voice, and 'when he sings or' tries to sing la the club I cant hear him. London Tlt-Bits.

COMPLAINT MADE . DI1 CEMENT USED

Councilman Bartel States that South Seventh Street Improvement Is Poor. CONGRATULATE VON PEIN COUNCIL VOTES HE IS A GOOD HOST AND FINE CITY OFFICIAL ROUTINE MATTERS BEFORE THE BODY. Few routine matters were considered by council last evening but the busi ness at hand was very important. The routine included monthly reports and complaints by the councilmen as to the condition of the city streets. One of the most important complaints was that made by Councilman Bartel on the condition of the new curbs and gutters installed on South Seventh street recently. Mr. Bartel said there were a number of property owners who were objecting to the quality of the cement used. One man whom Mr. Bartel said be could name who is a resident of that vicinity, said the cement was sparingly used and not according to specifications. He said there was a greater proportion of grave and sand used than the specifl cations called for. The complaint was referred to the board of public works Hose House Matter. An ordlnanace for the appropriation of $3,000 for the purpose of erecting a hose house on the new site secured by the city recently at Lincoln and West Fifth street was introduced by Councilman McMahan. It was' read the second time by title, but was al lowed to go over until the next meet ing for final action. Resolutions of apreclation for the excellent entertainment given by Mr, and Mrs. Matbew Von Peln, at their home. South J street, Sunday, also commending him for his faithful and conscientious efforts in behalf of the city as a legislator, and the hope that he would in a short time again be a member of the city administration were unanimously concurred in by council. The resolutions were drawn up and read by Councilman Deuker, The old engine bouse at South Sixth and E streets is in need of a new lid Its present top piece or derby is leaky and out of style. The city fathers said. however, that the stvle was good enough for tbe occasion, as to buy the latest style means increased expense. The engine house's guardian said that a few shingles would be sufficient to restore It. ' The high " weeds on Seventh- and South H' street were complained of by Councilman Bartel. An Alley Remonstrance. Owing to the fact that the only res ident property owner along the first al ley south of Main between Ninth and Tenth objected to ' it being cemented ana tnereoy remonstrating successfully against the Improvement so far as the board of works Is concerned the proposition of improving it was re ferred back to council. The matter was referred to the streets and alleys committee and this committee waa in structed to investigate the need of the improvement and report at the next meeting. As the alley is in very bad condition and is much used, there seemed little doubt but that a recom mendation for the improvement of the alley will be made by the commit tee. The report of the Municipal Light plant for the month of July as prepared by Superintendent Rogers waa approved by council and In part is as follows: Received from light and power, $4,275.43; received from street lighting. $1,981.06; total received. $6,257.00. Disbursements for operating expense, $2,912.30, and for building and equipment $988.25; total of $3,902.55. The excess of receipts over disbursements amounted to $3,342.79. Report of Controller. City Controller Webster Parry's report for July was approved and in part is as follows: In the general fund, cash on hand .July 1. $10,-73-2S: ' receipts during month. $38.230.77; total $4S,004.05: The disbursements amounted to $22,408 leaving a balance in the city treasuury of $20,40(1.05; sinking fund report, total receipts $11,002.28, -and disbursements for redeemed bonds, $3,500, leaving a balance of $7.o02-28 in the fund. A total of $6.tiS!).70 was reported in the special fund. The balance in the street improvement fund amounts to $2,352.40. Councilman Leftwick reported the bad condition of the sidewalk on the northwest corner of Sixteenth and North 12 street. The complaint was referred to the board of works. ncr Awtui Sin.
