Poisonous OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
wear yea OF two ago public attention was
yery generally directed to the poisonous
CONNECTIONS offered for sale in many 81
our shops.and stores, and it seemed PROB
abIethst some effective steps would be
taken to put stop to it; but like too
manysother things ofthe same sort, the
matter was allowed to die out without
anv practical or permanent reform being
effected. The Brooklyn Board of Health
has recently taken this matter into con-
sideratien again and has determined to
take such action as may be necessary 70
guard against the threatened danger 70
the public health. 1t has ordered n
thorough investigation and report on the
subject SO as to expose the material used
in the manufacture of these noxious con-
fections, in order that ''the children at
least may be preserved from the eyll
effects of the dangerous compounds sold
under the description OF candy 1t Is
alleged that plaster of paris, lamp-black,
acids verdigris, Brunswick grease, gam
boge, ultra-marine, turpentine, rotten
cheese. fusil oil, chrome, and other dele
FERROUS substances are largely used IN the
preparstion of these cheap candies.

The Ashland and Emma Graham claim
to be the fastest stern-whcel boats on the
Upper Ohio.
The L. {. Mccormick, the boat that
carried the prize fighters from Pittsburgh
to the place of the battle, is in trouble, as
the authorities are after her. The Local
Inspector notified the owner of the boat
prior to her departure that the special
permit granted had been revoked, but no
notice was taken of it, and she is charged
with leaving port without permit; also,
with carrying more passengers than she
was allowed. 1t is understood that the
Coal Bluff was guilty of the same Of
Tense. The probability is that the prize
fight excursion will prove very cxpen-
Sive one to the owners of the boats in
question, as the United States officers
here seem determined to push the matter.

which the Board of Finance proposed to
raise funds for the exhibition. a reso-
luton was adopted to the effect that the
appointment of special agents to foreign
countries would conflict with their local
government action, and consequently
such appointments would be at this
time ineXpedient.
