Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms.

Amateur gatherers of mushrooms are
often spoiled of their enjoyment in eat
ing the result of their researches by the
fear of poisoning in the shape of a yen-
omous congeneric. A French conten-
porary gives simple means whereby to
distinguish the real from the spurious
comestible: The stem of genuine
mushroom is short, thick and white,
marked under the head with promi-
nent ring. The head is white and reg
ularly convex. the edges are bent in
ward, the flesh is white and firm, the
under leaves are deep pink and sep.
arated as they approach, but do no.
touch the stem. When the mushroom
grows old the hat-like shape changess
it becomes brown, fas and scaly, the
under leaves also turn brown. 1t is bet
ter when eaten young. Spurious mush-
rooms have their heads covered with
warts and other membranaceous sub
stances, which adhere to the upper SUI
face; they are heavy and spring from
species of bulb; they generally grow N
lunches. When the mushrooms are
doubtful sprinkle little salt on the un-
der and spongy part; if it turns yellow
they are poisonous; if black they ara

Michael is good enough man

he gets drunk he is very ugly" Then
she related how he drank up all of his
money and came to her and said he had
job in the country, but had no money
to get out there. She pawned her shawl
for dollar and gave him the money and
he started off. The next morning he re-
turned home very drunk and his money
all gone He abused his wife because
she had no more money, and seizing
their three-year-ol child, beat it with
his fists until its head was a mass of
bruises. "Ill see that he don't do so
again for a while," remarked the court,
and Mrs. Bohan interrupted with "Ah,
thank your honor" but when Justice
Wallace continued, Fifty dollars fine,
which means one hundred days in

very pitiful tones she pleaded for
Michael. PLEASE don't be hard on

he will do better. Please try him just

Leaving the Old House.

There's sunshine on tho meadows,
AND sunshine on the road.
And through the brightness tolls the horse
Beneath weary load;
And as I stand beside the door, with hand
before nay eyes, mae.ss
gods prize.
There was time when this old home
Was full of mirth and glee,
But one by one the household went
And lett it all to me-
quiet house OF vacant rooms each made a
sacred place
By echo of a missing voice or dream OF van
ished face.
My new room is a pleasant place,
But yet it grieves me now;
Its small completeness seems to say
The world ID narrow now;
'Tis far too small for any one with festivals 10
keep, ..5s.aE
But Tor my funeral large enough, since few
will come to weep.
Goodbye, old house-a long good-bye!
My hand is on your gate;
Though tears are gathering in my eyes,
I must not longer wait
Goodbye, old house! and, after all, the Low
which makes you dear
Awaits me in the heavenly home to which Pm
drawing near.

Now.
Rise! for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on,
The others have buckled their armor
And forth to ight are gone;
place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams OF the future
Of gaining some hard-fought field;
OF storming some air fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor God grant it may!
But your arm will never be stronger
Or the need SO great as to-day.
Rise! if the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
AS those OF vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is liieless forever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save tol earn the lesson
OF nobler strife to-day.
Rise! Etor the day is passing;
Ane low sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle
Arise! Tor the foe is here.
Stay not to sharpen your weapons
Or the hour will strike at last,
When from dreams of q coming battle
You may wake to find it past.

A fag-stone crossing was ordered put
down on Liberty street, west side of Rider

The following was presented by Mr.. Row.
land:
"Whereas, an advance in the price of
nearly all articles entering into the cost of
living has occurred, creating dissatisfaction
among the laboring classes, and resulting
in a general demand for an increase of
wages"
,L'Therefore, resolved, That an increase of
ten per cent. in the wages of laboring men
employed by the day in the various depart
ments under control of this Board, be, and
is hereby, ordered to take effect from and
after October 1lth."
Mr.. Rowland called the attention of the
Board to the fact that the labor to be af-
fected by this advance was precarious at
best the men having work only in fair
weather, and they do not, therefore, stand
upon the same footing as men having con-
slant employment. .
The resolution was adopted, all the men,
bers of the Board voting for it.

THE STOVE MoLDERs.
The situation among the stove molders
remains the same, no material change
having taken place as vet. The manufac-
tNrers remain firm in their refusal to
accede to the demands of the strikers, and
the strikers seem fully determined not to
resume work till they are promised the
advance. So it is only question of time,
for sooner or later the change will newt
ably take place.

WHERE Is WISE?
No News Yet from the Absent
hs AerOnautS.
Possibly They Went to Kentucky.

Special to the Star
ST.. LOUIS Oct. 10.-Telegrams are con-
tinually received in regard to the missing
aeronauts, but nothing comes in tangible
shape, and at best people can now only ex-
press opinions. Some of the friends of Mr..
Burr are of the opinion that the two men
were thrown out of the balloon at point
not far from this city, perhaps in the woods
of Illinois, and, the air-ship being thus
lightened, additional buoyancy was given
it, and with wonderful speed it travelled in
the direction of the great lakes. This theory
appears to be the one accepted as rule
among those personally concerned in the
welfare of Professor Wise and Mr. Burr.
GLASGOW, KY, Oct. 10.-Night before last
balloon, from whence it is not known,
passed over this city at vast height. 1t
was large balloon, and carried a light in
the basket. by which its course could be
followed for about an hour Many think
it may have been Wise.

New YORK, Oct. 10.-Young Murphy is
still in excellent condition and he resumed
the track shortly after o'clock this morn
ing, after couple of hours sleep. Faber
is not in such good condition as his train
ers would wish and looks stiff about the
hips. Curran is also lame and stiff and
progresses slowly and painfully. Briody is
also in bad condition, and begged to be al
lowed to withdraw, but his trainers per-
suaded him to remain hopeing that he
would be able to save his entrance money.
He can not last till tomorrow night. How
ard is doing wonderfully well. He runs
constantly, with an easy lope, and is grad
ually gaining on Faber.
Betting men are beginning to favor him
for the second place. Murphy and Howard
spurted mile and half side by side amid
great cheering, and Mahoney followed at a
lively pace. Contrary to expectations, the
negro Pierce, whose conduct was such that
he had been abandoned by his trainer, re-
turned to the track and resumed his tramp.
Brown, with score of 22l miles, has not
reappeared, but his withdrawal has not yet
been announced, though it is not consid-
cred likely that he will return.

AFGHAN AFFAIRS.
Communication With General
Roberts Cut Off.
Fears That He Has Fallen Into Trap.
National Associated Press to the Star.

Rational Associated Press to the Star.
{, LONDON, Oct. 1O.,-A dispatch from Simla
states that communications with General
Roberts column has been interrupted by
the Ghilsias since Monday.
1t is believed that the fighting between
the troops and the Afghan hill tribes was
renewed Tuesday, the latter gaining a de-
cided advantage and for the present check
ing the advance. The absence of news gives
additional force to this opinion, and croak-
ers do not hesitate to declare that, notwith-
standing the temporary success of Sunday,
General Roberts has fallen into trap and
is in an exceedingly critical situation.
The column was expected to arrive at
Cabul Tuesday but the absence of all intel
ligence leads to the conclusion in military
and State circles here that General Roberts
is still acting possibly on the defensive in
the vicinity of Char Assyah, about ten
miles from the capital, where the struggle
Of Sunday took place.
The conduct of the Ameer during his
presence with the British troops excites
suspicions of his present attitude. 1t is
feared he has been guilty of the deepest
auplicity through the whole affair."

gled beyond recognition.
