DEALINGS IN REAL ESTATE.

There little of interest in tho real estate
market last week. Dulness has taken complete
possession Of the market. and few sales
are now beng effected either at auc-
ton or private sale. The outlook for the
summer season is not unfaYOrabe, according 10
most brokers and dealers in realty, regards any
important change In prices The prospect seems to
be one of stagnation without serious depression.
About the only activity In the market rs in the way
OF building, bat these operations for the greater
part were started some time back. Among the
new sales that be mentioned is the
transfer OF No AZ West FIfty-seventh-st. TO John

TWO VERDICTS IN THE SrEiYHARr CASE.


The inquest in the case of Joel A. Steinhait, who
is supposed 10 have died from morphine poisoning,
was resumed yesterday afternoon. Ono Of the
capsules purchased at Ehrnaun's drug store by
Stelnhart had been given To Professor DOremus for
chemical analysis and the professor testified that he
haa employed over twenty-five tests and from the
results obtained enabled to state that the cap
sule contained suphste of norphia and not quininc
Amadeus Vol, the drug clerk who put up the cap
sules testified positively that he took down the
bottle labelled quinine ana made the capsules from
It's contents The morphine bottle was on the Op-
pOste side of the store and WIS not tho
size Of the qulnine bottle He had boon pharina-
cst for ten years and was graduated from the Uni
yersity of Breslau, Germany. lie arrived ia this
country SIX weeks ago
Ernest hontanner, ir., another clerk, testified
that several other qninine prescriptions had been
made mp from the contents Of the bottle from which
Mr. Vol claimed to have taken the drug used ia
preparing Stenhart's capsules, aud that no evil re-
suits had followed.
After an absence of one hour the Jury returned
with two yerdcts. Tho one signed by fourteen
caused by morphine poisoning, but that from the
testimony obtained they were unable TO determine
how or IN what manner the poisoning occurred
The dissenting Juror DIR. Rudolph Iauscky, pre-
ssnted the following verdict:
ind that Joel G. stenhart came TO his death from
general paralysis in consequence Of morphine poisoning
obtained from the drug store OF Francis Ehiann, Of
EIyrst-st. ana FOurth-aYe., In place OF suphac Of
qune and that appears from the testimony that the
necessary precautions Ia dispensing pOisons had
taken by Mr Ehrnann 10 prevent the OF
Harry fatal mistakes.

mann ana his former assistant Amadeus VOL.

new step in education has recently been taken
in this city which promises excellent RESULTS that
is, the formation of library classes. The Chicago
Public Library has been utilized for the training OF
the pupils of the public schools in the study of his

of the high schools is admitted with bis class in
history, when Lesson in the art Of studying history
is given under the auspices Of Mr. Poole, the libra

complete and the new reform will undoubtedly
proye great success.

Chills, their Causes and Consequence, S.

Catarrhs should receive careful consit!era-
ton. instead OF the neglect they generally
meet with, until they have fastened on the
part affected SO much as to excite the atlcn-
ton. and perhaps the alarm, of the sufferer.
Here, however, we propose 10 say 4 few
words about the causes of chils. A per.
son in good health, with fair play, easily
resisls cold. l;ut when the health flags q
little, and liberties mc taken with the
stomach or the nervous system Il chill is
easily taken, and, according TO the weak
spot Of the Individual, takes the form of Il
cold, or pneumonia, or it may be iaun-
dice. OF all causes Of cold probably fatigue
is one Of the most efficient. n jaded man
coming home at night from long days
work, Il growing youth losing two hours
sleep over evening parties two or three
times 4 week, or y yaung lady heavily
doing the season. young children ut this
festive season orericd and with Il short
allowance OF sleep. arc common instances
of the victims of cold. Luxury is
favorable TO chill taking; very hot
rooms, soft chairs, feather beds create
Il scnsitivencss that leads TO catarrhs.
Ii IS not, after all, the cold that is 50 much
To he feared rs the anteccdent conditions
that give the attack Il chance off doing harm.
Some of the worst colds happen to those who
do not leave thcirhou or even their bed and
those who are most in vulnerable are often
those who arc most exposed to changes of
temperature, and who by good sleep, cold
bathing and regular habits preserve the tone
of their nervous system and circulation.
Probably many chills are contracted at night
orat the iag end ofthc day, when tired people
get the equilibrium of their circulation dis
turbed by either overhcatcd sitting rooms
or undcr-heated bedrooms and beds. This
is especially the case with elderly people
In such cases the mischief is not always
done instantancously, Or in a single night
1t often takes place insidiously, extending
over days, or even weeks 1t thus appears
that ''taking cold'' is not by any means
simple result Of lower temperature, but
depends largely on personal conditions and
habits, affecting especially the nervous and
muscular energy of the body.-LaRcrt.
