A New York State Bank Wrecked by a Dishonest Cashier—Big Blaze in Seattle—Swift Vengeance in Court—Went Mad and Died. Is Killed in Court. At New York, in the Court of General Sessions, Monday, in sight of the Judge, the jury, and the crowd, a young man, a cripple, said to be half-witted, shot down the man who had just pleaded guilty to assaulting his sister. He shot him from his seat among the spectators overlooking the aisle as two court officers led the prisoner past him lo the pen. The bullet struck the victim over the heart and he slipped to the floor dead. The man who was shot was Max Clerget, 18 years old. The girl he had assaulted "was his sis-ter-in-law, Sarah Divin, aged 15. The man who shot him was Edward Divin, Sarah’s older brother Loss of $500,000 in Seattle, Wash. Schwab chek Bros.’ large wholesale grocery and hardware store caught fire at Seattle, Wash., and is a total loss. The Hotei Northern was also on fire and is considerably damaged. Dexter Horton’s new bank building, in course of construction, and three brick blocks were in danger but saved. The fire was confined to Schwabacher Bros.’ building, which, with its contents, is valued at nearly $500,000. The insurance is about $300,000. Killed a Mad Bog Victim. A man named Odell was bitten by a mad dog two months ago, at Sciotoville, Ohio. Monday he went mad and commenced biting trees, posts and everything he came to. Near his home he took after a boy named Hension. The boy had been hunting, and while Odell was gaining on him the boy turned and fired his rifle. The ball took effect between the eyes, killing him instantly. Arrested on a Charge of Fraud. J. A. Ebel, claiming to be a railroad conductor, was arrested in St. Paul, Minn., on the charge of securing money by fraud. June 3 and 4 sixty-nine checks drawn on the Second National Bank for sums ranging between $2 and $5 were received at that bank. They were drawn by Ebel and all were bogus. Ev ry one represented a victim who had cashed it. Campbell to Kun the Campaign. Illinois was signally honored Monday at the Arlington AV ashington Hotel conference of representative Republicans of the United States by the choice of AV. J. Campbell to be Chairman of the National and Executive Committees during the Presidential campaign of Cashier Kuns Away. The Goshen (N. Y.) National Bank closed Monday, pending an examination, and Cashier AVilliam M. Murray has left this place. The bank has suffered a loss of from $60,060 to $75,000 and its capital has been impaired to the extent of $35,000. NEWS NUGGETS. An outbreak of cholera at St. Petersburg is imminent. Edward Cook, of Lebanon, Ind., aged 70 years, committed suicide. The feeling against Timothy Healy is so bitter that he is obliged to have a bodyguard on his campaign tours. Dublin University will confer the degree of Doctor of Laws upon Henry Irving, Sir Frederick Leighton, Alma Tadema, and the Bishop of Peterborough. The police at Brussels, while trying to quiet a body of riotous socialists, were overpowered by the latter and were compelled to call upon the military to restore order. Around Canolton, Mo., wheat harvesting has commenced. The crop will be a much better one than was expected early in the season, but will not equal that of last season. In an interview published in the Munich Zeitung, Prince Bismarck attributes to pressure from Berlin the refusal of Emperor Francis Joseph to grant him an audience. At St Louis, Mo., C. J. Riegers became involved in a fight with three negresses, and one of the negresses literally cut him to pieces with a razor. His assailants are under arrest. Twice within a week men have been robbed on the streets of Detroit by women who have compelled them, at the 1 oints of revolvers, to hold up their hands and submit to being searched. At a meeting of the Republican National Committee in AVashington General J. S. Clarkson declined to stand as a candidate for the Chairmanship, bee tuse, he said, the Piesident preft rred another man. All Southern Texas reports copious rain. This insures both the cotton and corn crops in all Southern, Central and Eastern Texas. The rain was general for 200 miles in every direction from San Antonio. The finding of the body of an u known man on the railroad track at Kouts, lad., has led to the theory that he was mur dered. His coat and vest had been taken from him and sev< ral gashes had been made on his head with some blunt instrument. Passing trains manged the body. An explosion of the Consumers’ Ice Works, in New Orleans, killed five men. The proprietor, F. B. Lee, was among the victims. Princess Margaret, sister of the German Emperer, has been betrothed to Prince Frederick Charles, eldest son of the Landgrave of Hesse. Mus. S. E. Crinion, widow of Lieutenant John Crinion, of AVinchester, 111., while getting into a folding bed theother evening broke her leg by the top closing down. But for he' friends she would have been smothered.

EASTERN. One year ago Alley Bros. A Place, one of the largest leather firms of Boston, failed with liabilities of $510,000. Tuesday the firm sent out checks to their creditors covering the final payment of 100 cents on the dollar, with 6 per cent, interest, and the present financial condition of the firm is of the best. The unveiling of the statue of Red Jacket, the renowned Seneca chief, took place Wednesday, in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo, N. Y. Upon the round column of the pedestal is engraved “Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha,” (he keeps them awake). In the left hand of the statue is held the historic medal presented to Red Jacket by AVashington. The most disastrous wreck that has ever occurred in Harrisburg, Pa., took place Saturday morning at 12:30 o’clock at Dock street. The second section of the AVestern express ran into the first section, completely telescoping two cars. Five bodies were taken to the morgue at the Pennsylvania Railroad depot. The number ol injured is placed at forty, but it is impossible to authenticate this report. It rained hard, which greatly retarded the work of rescue. Thirteen bodies were recovered. A FORTNIGHT ago two men, F. M. Harter and R. M. Yeany, but who have numerous aliases, took up their quarters at Pittsburg, Pa. They advertised extensively and fkoded the country with circular letters for men to take orders for books. All applicants for positions were to pay $6 as a guarantee of good faith. This done they were put to work on a salary of SIOO per month, as well as 10 per cent on all sales. This dazzling offer brought many letters of inquiry. One of the circulars fell into the hands of a young man who laid the matt, r before Superintendent of Police O’Mara, which resulted in the arrest of the parties. AVillie Hoerr, a 15-year-okl boy, an employe of George AV. Biggs’ jewelry store in Pittsburg, Pa., was arrested lor stealing diamonds and jewelry valued at $20,000. The boy has been systematically robbing his employer forn.onths, and when arrested had nearly SIO,OOO worth of diamonds on his person. He ■would take a $250 gold watch, and after throwing the works into the river would pound the case out of shape and sell it for old gold. All of his lady friends Were the recipients of valuable presents, including diamon 1 rin ;s and watches. Young Uoerr is well connected, and his arrest was a great surprise to his relatives, A Di; patch from Reading, Pa., says a mob of 109 gathered at the Berks County jail demanding that Pete Buccari be delivered to them to be hanged for the murder of Sister Hilduberk at Sat. Joseph Hospital. Buccari was injured four months ago and had been watched over and nursed to health by the good sister. Friday she gave milk to the patients and did not fill Buceari’s glass as full as the others. He growled and borrowed a knife from Scott, the Forepaugh show tiger tamer who was so fearfully injured by a tiger May 4. The Italian sneaked after the young woman into the kitchen and stabbed her three times. She died that night. The eitiaens tried to lyn<-h Buccari. but he Mbs. Victoria Privot, of AUeghc ny, Pa., started a fire, and to help it along poured kerosene oil in the stove. An explosion followed, and instantly Mrs. Privot was enveloped in the flames. Charles I rivot, her husband, ran to her assistance, and in trying to save his wife’s life was burned so badly that he will die Mrs. Privot was horribly burned and died in a few minutes. The couple came to this country from France about six weeks ago. An hour later Mrs. AVolfowski, the wife of a Polish laborer on the South Side, left two children, aged 7 and 10 years, respectively, in the kitchen. During her absence the little < nes took the kerosene can an I poured t"he oil on the fire. Both children were fatally burned. The mother was painfully burned in her efforts to eave the children. WESTERN. at Hollister, Cal., two slight shocks of earthquake were felt Tuesday night. 1.. AV. Ady, a grocer of Clinton, Minn., lately of AVisconsin, committed suicide, George Gilmore, a paralytic, shot himself at Faribauß and died. His infirmity made him despondent Based upon its new city directory, Milwaukee claims a population of 240,000, an increase of 36,000 in two years. Two Deputy Marshals killed Bob Leslie, a desperate Seminole negro, in Indian Territory. Leslie was resisting arrest when shot. Burglars who were surprised at their work at Butte, Mont., sho: and killed Policeman AVilliam F. Gordon. Jhe murderers escaped. The schooner Ringdove, from Balize to Truville, Honduras sunk c f Half Moon Cape, nine of the thirteen persons on board being drowned. Clinton E. Dixon, a private in the Sixth United States Cavalry, was hanged at Cmaha for the murder of Corporal AVilliam Carter. The Commercial Hotel at Sanger, Cal., burned. Six persons are said to have perished. The names are not obtainable. The loss will be heavy. Joseph Harvey, who murdered Maggi® Lehman, his n istiess, in Dayton last August, was hanged in the Ohio State Penitentiary Friday morning. Near Yankton S. D., a cyclone struck the town of Plankin’on. demolishing twenty houses and unroofing as many more. No live s were lost nor serious injuries co urred. The Fox and Illinois Rivers are now nearly as high as they were during the May floods, and are rising. Already considerable damage has been done to property along their bunks. The stockholders of the First National Bank at St. Louis have decided to go into voluntary liquidation. The bank’s debts are $19,84'*.94, and its assets are in excess of this amounts At La Grange, Ind., Hugh Piatt was found murdered. A neigh* orhood feud has existed for years, and his death is doubtless due to the fact, though just who committed the crime sas yet unknown. Joseph Taylor, of Saltil’oviHe, Ind., shot his sister fatally and seriously wounded his mother because the former

went driving with a man he did not like. | । The girl will die, and there is talk of lynching Taylor. The lumber dealers and railroads are heavy losers by the floods at Galena, 111,, and few of the people of that city will escape some loss. The lower floors of hotels and business blocks were filled with water and the streets resemble ; rivers. The riot among the miners in the * Minnesota mines at Tower, Minn., is at at end. About twenty prisoners were taken down to Duluth and lodged in the county jail. The men were put to work, the fires lighted, and everything I was quiet. The appearance of Duluth I i militia, Company A, did the business, | ! and they are being generally praised i for their effectual work. The trains from Ely are being carefully guarded, and the militia—which is still at Tower ■ —has strict orders to keep the roads and squares clear of little squads of idle i i men. No more trouble is anticipated. | AVednesday evening a negro went to the home of George Wilson, at Columbus, Ind., drove the women from the house, and was helping himself to supper when AVilson arrived home. AVilson secured his revolver and too® the negro to jail, and demanded that he be locked up. Deputy Sheriff Smith refused to accept the prisoner and o:dered a policeman to arrest AVilson for carrying con- ; coaled weapons. A hard fight followed, in which AA ilson was knocked down and ' seriously cut about the head. The citizens are indignant over the treatment AVilson received, and trouble is likely to follow. The negro escaped. Giovanni Abbetti ami Paolo A’is- I c nte were arrested at San Francisco, ; Cal., on a charge of counterfeiting, and I warrants are out for the arrest of two I Americans and three more Italians on the same charge. Secret Service Agent Harris states that the band has been at : work for the last twelve months and have manufactured a great amount of I counterfeit money, nearly all of which has been distributed among vario is ! i Italian colonies throughout California, Oregon, AV ash in at on, and British Co- I lumbia, and as far south as New Or- i ' leans. In San Francisco alone over j $15,009 in $1 and $5 bills are known to I ' have been issued Col. George R. Clarke, the founder 1 and dire tor of the Pacific Garden Mis- I ■ sion at Chicago, died Tuesday night at I I his home in Morgan Park. In early life i ; Col. Clarke was extensh ely engaged in ; ■ real estate and mining interests, ami I made ami It st much money. But for the i ! last tw nty years C-01. Clarke had ! ! practically given his entire attention to : 1 self-sacrificing work among the neglect- : ; cd ami criminal classes, for whose wel- ; ! fare and reform his wishes amounted to almost a passion. His success and ; | untiring efforts have given him and I h's l aeific Garden Mission a national I reputation, and his name is known : I throughout Europe and even rerm ter j countries. As If to indicate that God ! ! was in the “miss on” with him some of ’ Col. Clarke’s investments in mining in ' earlier days, which he hod long since ■ forgotten all about, to his great surprise I became valuable, and he considered I i himself once more rich. This increased I his ardor in his work, and ho drew un- I j stintedly on his store until nearly all j i that, too. was gone. The expenses of I mkul.m av.-rn —.-. J $7,000 or $6,000 a j was made tor every $1.50 expended. Ono j of the most noted conversions was that. | j of Hairy Monroe about eight years ago. 1 j He probably will become Col. Clarke’s, ! successor in the direction of the mis- I j sion. SOUTHERN. Near Tyler, Texas, a white man i named AA hillock committed suicide by ! hanging. A i Austin, Texas, the Ninth Congressional District Convention has renominate I Joseph D. Sayers for re-ele.-tion as Congressman. S. M. Lusher, aged 40 years, a ranchero from Toxas, was found dead Sunday morning in his statcioom on the steamer Nueces, from Galveston. The firs* full train of wool to leave Texas this season arrived at St. Louis, ■ ! consigned to lo al dealers. The train ; 1 consisted of twenty ears. The ship- j 1 ment was rushed through by the Texas ; Ctntral, the Missouri, Kansas and i | Texas, and AValuish in practically pas- i I senger time. POLITICAL. The Kansas Fifth District Republi- : cans have nominated J. 11. Burton, of i Abeliue, for Congress. The South Dakota Independents have I nominated AVilliam Lardner and J. E. i Kelley for Congress, A. L. Van Osdel ; for Governor, M. AI. Price for Lieuten- ! ant Governor, G. AV. Evarts for Au- i ditor, and 8. G. Morgan for Secretary i ■ of State. ‘ ! Miss Ima C. Emery, of AVashington, : D. C., has sued her brother-in-law, the ; Rev. AVilmot A. Carringt u, for assault ami battery. Carrington, who is a । ; Presbyterian minister, married Miss I 1 Emery’s sister, and the couple loft for ■ ; Brazil, where a child was born and the 1 mother died. Upon returnmg lo this i rouniry Carrington took the child to h s moi her, refusing the I'merys charge i ।of it. Miss Eim ry claims her sister! wanted her to have the child, and that ! , when she met Carrington with it on the j | street and attempted to kiss it, he ! i knocked her lown. Carrington denies j the as.-aulG Buzzard’s Bay (Mass.) special: : The announcement of the result at ! i Chicago came to Gray Gables with the j dawn. The half hour after four o'clock ! haH struck. “It is good,“ said Governor Russell. “Excellent,” exclaimed the ! ex-l’resident. A general round of con«® gratulations ensued, and slowly the ' Cleveland household and their guests ; ! retir d for a morning n-ap. Mr. i Clex elan I said: “I could certainly be charged with dense insensibility’ if I : 1 were not pro'oundly touched by this ' new proof of the confidence and trust of [ the great party to which I belong and | whose .mandates claim my loyal obedi- j once. I am confident that our follow- ! countrymen are ready to receive with ; . approval the principles of tiue Democ- I ; racy and cannot rid myself of the belief I ! that to secure their success it is only [ ■ necessary to persistently and honestly j advocate these principles. Differences I i of opinion and judgment in Democratic. I conventions are by no means unwhole- | some indications, but it is hardly eon- J j ceivable in view of the importance of ! ' our success in the country and the party i ! that there should be anywhere among ! ! Democrats lack of harmonious and act- ! ive effort to win in the campaign which ’

opens before us. I have, therefore, no concern on that subject. It w’ill certainly be my constant endeavor to deserve the support of every Democrat.* FOREIGN. Prince Bismarck met with a most flattering reception at Munich. It is officially stated that the German Lieutenants Baron Bulow and AVolfrum and twenty Soudanese have been killed near Kilimanjaro, East Africa, and that two sergeants and sixty-four men are holding Kilimanjaro against the enemy. AVhile the cage was descending the shaft in the Ferndale colliery in the Rhundda valley, Glamorganshire, AVales, it was upset and its ten occupants were thrown out. Two of them were instantly killed and the other eight were badly injured. Three workmen employed in a plaster quarry in the town of ArgenteUil, near Versailles, France, made a wager as to which of them would swallow’ the most water. (Hie man imbibed twelve quarts of the fluid, another nine quarts, and tire third seven quarts. In a short time the three men were taken violently sick, and all died in a few hours. A terrible accident occurred on the now French cruiser Dupuy do Lome, 6,300 tons. A trial of its machinery was in progress and the end of one of the boilers was blown out. At the same time an explosion occurre I in the coal bunkers and set the cruiser on fire. The donkey engines were started and soon the fire was under control. The two accidents caused a breach in usual man-of-war discipline and some of the officers appeared to have lost their heads. AVhile nearly everybody on board was attempting to iescue the injured, quartermasters reported that they could nAt handle the ship. It was found that the steering appara l us had broken down. The cruiser was perfectly helpless and signals of distress were hoisted asking assistance. It was finally taken in tow and brought I ack to its moorings, The dead number 22. IN GENERAL So FAR this week gold to the amount of $4,35(1,(190 has been ordered lor shipment to Europe. The factory of the Dominion Cartridge Company at Brownburg, Que., has been blown up and a number of men killed. Gen. Castilho holds the capital of Rio Grande do Sul and the principal cities of the state. Cen. Tavares has made-Bage his tenq orary capital, where he is organizing to oppose Castilho. Thirteen persons were killed in a fight at Livramento. Conflicts have also occurred al other points, with slight casualties. The federal troops remain neutral. Little anxiety is expressed in Canadian official circles over the threatened policy of President Harrison in regard to Canada. The members of the Dominion Cabinet are v< ry reticent and decline to say what action Canada will take if the policy of uonintercourse is adopted by the Cnited States. From what can be learned in official circles there is little likelihood of the Canadian Govi'rnment modifying the Welland There, is a strong suspicion that tlio I piece of a wrecked sailing ship passed at sea by the Dutch tank steamship I Ocean may furnish a clue to an appalli ing o *ean disaster. If what is now I deemed probable proves true the Portu- ; guese steamship Vega and the Briti ish sailing sli p Ind B. Taylor o! Y armouth, N. S., ha’’e been in collision and one or hot., gone to the bottom. Such a calamity would involve ■ (09 lives. ( apt. Cassens of the Ocean, which reached New York from Amsterdam Saturday, said that the preceding Thur-eay morning his vessel passed i the stern of a sailing ship which had. evidently been cut in twain by some other craft. It was 2 0 miles east of Sandy Hook. The wreck v, tn bottom up and the ship's mime was subi mergeil. Above the water in plain letters in the stern he read “Yarmouth > N. S.” Capt. Cassens gave a description whi< h tallies almost exactly with the measureim nt of the stern of the Fnd B. Tayler. The Taylor left Havre in ballast manno 1 by a crew of 22 men J under Cartain E. F. Hurlbert, May 12 I The Vega, which left Liston June is

now five days overdue. It is consigms: to G. Amsinek A Co. of N- w York, and when it left Lisbon there were 13( steerage pa-smigers on board and was manned by a crew of about fifty men. officers included. It always s'ops ai some of the Azores for paseengt rs. I' is believed there were at least 564 persons on the vessel. MARKET REPORTS, CHICAGO.

UNLUCKY 1892, The Most Disastrous Year tho United States Has Ever Known. If the remaining six month of this year shall duplicate or even approximate to the record of disasters which have occurred in tho first six the year 1892 will be set down as the most fatal to life in the United States that has ever been known. Fires, floods, explosions, mine casualties, cyclones, wind-storms, lightning—all the elemental fortes indeed seem 1o have combined with human agencies to destroy life, and to present an aggregate of great disasters in comparison with which ordinarily terrible even's seem to lose their significance or attract personal attention only. Since January 1 there have been four destructive wind storms, killing nearly 200 persons, viz.: April 1, Missouri and Kansas, 75; May, 16, Texas, 15; May 27, AVellington, Kan., 53; June 16, Southern Minnesota. 50. In the same period there have been four great floods, viz.: April 11, Tomblgbee River, 250; May 18, Sioux City, lowa, 35; May 20, Lower Mississippi, 36; June 5, fire and flood, Oil Creek, Pa., 19 5. There also have been four mining disasters, viz.: Jan. 7, McAllester, I. T.,65; April 20, Minersville, Pa., 12; May 10, Roslyn, AVash., 11; May 14, Butte, Mont., 11. Three fires have been unusually disastrous to life, viz.: Jan. 21, Indianapolis Surgical Institute, 19; Feb. 7, Hotel Royal, New York, 30; April 28, theater, Philadelphia, 12. Besides these there were on March 21 an explosion at Jordan, Mich., by which 10 lives were lost; June U, the explosion at the Mare Island Navy Yard which killed 15; and June 15, the fall of the bridge over Licking River by which 32 lives were sacrificed. These are the principal disasters of tho year thus far, and they involve an aggregate of 960 lives. Adding to this total the sum of losses by minor accidents as reported in the newspapers, we have the following sad and unusual record: By fire. 876; by drowning, 1,364; by explosions, 313, by falling structures of various kinds, 267; by mine disasters. 308; by wind storms, 340; and by lightning. 120; grand total, 3,588. The total ' loss of life by these causes during the whole of la -1 year—and 1891 was one of the most destructive years on record—was 5,762. So it is evident that 18 2 will far i-urpass its pre lecessor. It is a sad and appalling record, this, of great disasters folio a ing so closely upon each other's heels. It recalls the days >f the war. when one took up the mornng paper only to read the list of killed ind wounded in the previous day’s battle. and with the same result then as low, viz., that the great battles so overshadowed the smaller cues that little ittention was paid to the latter. So now the great cataclysms so far eclipse the smaller ones that the latter, though

hey would be considered asshocking md exceptional in any ordinary time, ire now hardly an hour’s wonder. FAIK DATE CHANGED. Che I’relinunary Celebration Will I’robprobably Be Hehl Oct. 21 Instead of 12. Washington dispatch: Perry Belmont, of New York, reached Washington from Chicago, where he had been to attend the conference regarding changing the lute for the inauguration exercises of the World’s Fair next October. The AHlLiuacvs betwcju New York and ( liieugo over the date upon which the two cities will celebrate the 400th anniversary of the dis overy of America were amicably adjusted at the conference, and the two celebrations will not confliet in anv wav.

Messrs. Beljmnt. B. B. Pcoseveltand Seere'ary Wali, of the New York Citizens’ Committee < f l'H>, and the Fo ird i f Control of the Columbian Exposition were parties to an agreemtnt drawn up ly Direit r General Davis an I Mr. Belmont, Uy the terms of which the officers and others mt- re-ted in the Chicago celebration will make no opposition to the efforts of the New York gentlem n to secure the passage of a joint resolution by Congress changing from Oct. 12 io Oct. 21 the date on which the anniversary exercises at Chi; ago shall take pl a e. Ilie celebrat’on at New York city, which will inelude the naval display ol all nations, is fixed for Oct. ly, and that day has been de lar d a legal holiday by ihe Legislature of New York. It was out of this cons ict < f dates with the Chicago celebratio:i that grew the controversy which has been raging foi some weeks, and which threatened tc seriously nterfere with the su cess ol the events sn 1 oth cities. But by this compromise those interested believe that the interest in the two will be heightened and their success increased. Where Thei- Used to B -. Senator Quay was once a roving photographer.

Sources ol Danger in Ice C'-eam Numerous cases of poisoning by ice cream have occurred in years past, in which the precise nature of the poison present was undiscoverable. In some instances the cream itself may have proved a dangerous irritant because of its extreme coldness, this physical property enabling it to ca’ se interruption of digestion, and a certain amount of congestion; but some foreign agent is usually given the blame. These agents are, however,, as we have mentioned, very elusive. A'anilla, the favorite flavoring’for the cream, isoften an object of suspicion. It is said that the beans have sometimes in the course of preparation for the market been greased with a poisonous oil, and enough of it has found its way into the cream to cause illness. The coßiparativ< ly recent discovery of tyrotoxicon Las, however, shown a cause of danger more universally present. This substance formed from the milk itself under conditions very imperfectly understood, has doubtless often been the agent responsible for ice cream poisoning. Metallic contamination from the vessels i which the cream is prepared has also come in for a share of the blame. These vessels are usually of tin or rather tinned iron, and the tin being scarcely suspected of harm, the joints soldered with lead have been the doubted portions. But now it is charged that the latter source has been vastly increased by the by the use of terne plate in the place of tin Tin plate is composed of about 93 ]K?r cent of iron or soft steel coate 1 witli 7 percent, of pure tin. while terne plate is composed of about *7 per cent of iron or soft steel, coated with a composition consist ing of about one-sixth tin and five-sixths lead. In consequence of serein! recent cases of ie' cream poisoning in Philadelphia in which this source was suggested, there has been some talk of investigating the question as to whether Unis plate is being used for culinary vessels. It is to he hoped that the sanitary authorities generally will look especially into the matter. Their investigations will be of special interest to the pharma'-ist, who is not only liable to be called on to aid in the discovery of poison present in food, but lo defend himsrlf against charges of having furnished dangerous flavorings, when some other agent ! has caused trouble. — American Ani alyst.

The H:u!elu.jah Cavalry. The Salvation Army in California lias augumented its forces with a body of musical troopers known as -the Ila’lelujah Cavalry, and durins the months of June and July this cavalcade will sweep along the highways, arousing the unconverted. Flaming posters headed “Bombardment by the Hallelujah Cavalry'’ have been displayed all over the State. The idea is a new one in the methods ot tiie army and originated with^Maj, Kyle, the commander of the tionists on the Pacific Coast. No women are to he allowed to accompany the mounted warriors, for the simple reason that the horses pressed into service are Nevada broncos unaccustomed to the blare of trumpets and the loom of the big drum. A cowboy convert has promised, however, to make the animals tractable after a fashion. The music of the cavalry will tie furnished by ten brass instruments, banjos, drums, horns, and tambourines. Regular cavlary saddles have been purchased for the men and will be set off with red braided saddle cloths. The uniform will be white cavalry fatigue hats, loose red blouses, and cavalry boots tipped with long spurs, more for the clanking they- will make than to rowel the broncos. The leading riders will carry lances and fluttering pennons. The troops will ramp along their route in regular army style. They expect to penetrate the mo mtain and desert parts of the State, where churches and meetinghou es are not to be found. The cooking of the Hallelujah Cavalry is to lie done by Lieut. Fong See, a Chinese convert. Sometimes the woman who contradicts falls into a trap of her own setting. A good story is told in this connection. A German professor was m ver allowed to make anv statement without having it instantly disputed by his accurate but irritating spouse. She had acquired such a habit of corr< ding and contradicting him. that, according to the story, she one cay made a mistake which gave her longsuffering husband a chance to laugh at her. “Do you remember, my dear,” he said tn a retrospective mood, “the letter-case embroidered with pearl beads that you made for me with your own han Is. when we l> came engaged? It was worn rut years ago, but 1 can still see it very plainly. On one side there was embroidered a beautiful butterfly, ami —” “The 1 utterily was on the other side” interrupted his wile in her most decided tone. An 1 she always complained that Mr. Underfeld “was fond of telling stories without any point," whenever he referred to this conversation afterward. Female Tobacco Chew(‘rs. In Paraguay it is chiefly the women who chew, and travelers have often 'eserbed their emotions when, on entering a house, a lady, dressed in satin and adorned with precious stones, comes towaid them, and, before holding out her mouth to le kissed, as is the usual custom when we come, pulls the beloved tobacco quid from her cheek pouch. Some of the S uth American tribes actually eat the tobacco cut int; small pieces. Love is the quality that giv< s the man who can't support him- T the conviction that he will have no litliculty in supporting a family.
