by common consent, bouquets are an
expression of admiration for excellence
behind the footlights. But the pianist
on Tuesday night was the recipient of
favors in the shape OF pennies, notes,
umbrellas, in fact everything calculated
to draw his attention from the asthmatic
instrument which gave out melody that

Mrs. John Lantry died last night about
ten o'clock after long but seemingly not
serious illness. Although she had been
under doctors treatment for some time,
her friends did not expect such fatal
termination of her sickness and her death
comes with crushing force on her family.
Mrs. Lantry was a woman of unusual
force of character, resolute of purpose
and of generous charitable nature. She
was true helpmate to her husband
Ever ready to aid him in the battle with
the world and always inclined to look at
the bright side. She was kind but
judicious parent, and her strong good
sense left an impress on her children, a
legacy far preferable to worldly wealth.

A POISONING CASE IN LONDON that is causing
an excitement almost equal to that over the
Palmer trial. duplicates an American of good
family and hitherto unblemished reputation.
Dr. LamsOD, son Of the American chaplain at
Florence, had brOtherin, law. q deformed lad,
named Percy John, whose life stood between
him and IN Inheritance Of 1880. The boy
was at school at Wimbledon, aud under medical
care, when Lamson visited him, bringinga num-
Der OF powders and pills. and gave him one
capsule which he said contained quinine The
lad swallowed the capsule and died that night in
great pain. An analysis of his stomach discovered
aconite enough to kill three dogs, and among
the medicine left by Lamson was found quantities
of PREPARATION Of acOnite which had been pur-
chased in New York. Lamson. who had started
for Paris, returned and surrendered himself, and
the preliminary examination has been hello
the evidence being apparently overwhelming 1t
is almost incredible that aman should be SO fool
hardy as to leave behind him such convincing
traces of guilt, and one would be glad to think
that the aconite was legitimately prescribed. an
it is conceivable it might have been and that
the death of the boy resulted from an overdose
A curious bit of testimony was that Of two drug
gists, to the effect that DR.. LamsOn bought two
grains Of aconite the day before his visit to VIM
bledon-a purchase which would seem SUPER
fiuons If he already had SO much of the drug put
up in New York. But, in addition 70 the pres
ent matter. suspicious have arisen that Lamson
poisoned also Q brother of Percy john who died
suddenly at his house three years ago, and the
body Was to be exhumed and examined. Lam
son Is said to be heavily In debt, 90 that he has
recently raised money On checks Tor which there

We SEE IT STATED that the Texas Methot1fsts
have determined t0introduce the Bible i'm the
public school system. We do not believe such a
thing possible on account Of the comparative
size OF the two Institutions. The free school
system of Texas is such q small institution that
1t would be as difficult to introduce good-sized
family Bible into it as it would be to introduce
number ten foot into number five boot II
the average Texas free school were enlarged
perhaps the Bible, II it were very young Bible,
not bigger than pack Of cards, might be
crowded into it. but it would be mighty tight
squeeze. There would not De much room left
over for anything else. We suppose the idea is
that II Texas ever has any free schools then the

James Rowe, the man who was blown up at
the Forman shaft and lost both of his arms and
his eyesight. is still blown up nightly in imagi-
nation. He yesterday told DIR. Weber that he
felt that he was getting good deal better
Said he; "Now I am obliged to die once per
night. whereas few days ago had to be killed
twice or three times nightly" What he meant
was that nightly it appeared to him that the ex-
plOsiOn again occurred. and that he was knocked
senseless by the flying fragments of rock The
doctor says this is thing that gives great
deal of trouble to all patients who have been
hurt by caves or explosions. 1t often prevents
them from sleeping. No sooner do they begin
to doze than the cave comes and the explosion
occurs, and they awake with . start and cry
out.
