Nearly three hundred people witnessed the
Yarmouths defeat the Sanfords Saturday on the
Portlands' grounds. Madden and Burns Of this
city were the Yarmouths' battery and their work
was very effective. Madden is left-handed, has
perfect control of the ball. and works all the
curves effectively. The visitors could do nothing
with him, and his support in every respect was
fine. The visitors work was conspicuous on ac-
count Of its poorness. A sample of its quality Is
offered in the fact that the Sanfords' pitcher
struck out five men in the first inning, yet their
opponents secured five runs-that is, the third
strike was missed and the catcher either threw
wild to the bases or the baseman let the ball go by
him.

Poisoned by a Negro Woman.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 6.-Mollie Ora
ham, negro woman, aged %, an inmate OF
the Medical College Hospital, was arrested
late last night for poisoning four persons
the matron, two patients and negro en-
ployee. Mollie had a petty grudge, II ls
charged, against the young doctors con-
nected with the institution. 1t Is also
charged that she had been helping the cook,
and that last night she put arsenic IN the
food for the doctors table. Fortunately
they did not touch the poisoned portion,
which was turned over to the four above
mentioned. All are very sick, and one OF
the patients, Fannie Clarke, is expected to
die this morning. Mollie was accused some
months ago of fatally poisoning her hus-
band, but the charge could not be proved.

The most important commodity of the
American grocery trade is Coffee" remark
ed city paper. people, it is said, could
better do without sugar than without coffte.
You may think that a strong statement,
but it is indisputable. The Americans are
nation of coffee drinkers. America con-
sumes over one third of the entire product
of the world. No break fast table, whether
in the abode Of the rich or the poor, is con.
sidered complete without it. To many per-
soDs it is more necessary in the morning
than food. Coffee contains valuable medi-
cinal qualities; among others that of being
anti.soporilic, and, therefore, useful in cases
of narcotic poisoning. 1t has been found
to be one of the very best stimulants for ad-
ministration to persons who are nearly dy

stimuants often prove fatal when given
under the same circumstances. 1t is in

a discussion has been lately going on in
England with reference to the employment
of electric cells for purposes of vivisection.
One paper points out that, before an anti
vivisectionist protests against experiments
upon electric cells, he should ALLURE ees al
together as an article of food; for eels are
usually skinned while they are still alive,
on the ground that this culinary process re-
moves the oil with the skin and leaves the
flesh white and firm. And the 81. James
Gazette says that no virtues have been writ
ten down to the cells credit. 1t does not
care for the suferings of other fish. No eel
is ever touched to its heart because big
cod has made breakfast of two dozen
whiting. Besides, the eel is a cannibal. A
big eel in want of meal always looks out
for little eel. Why NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
should he tender over so unleeling crea-
ture it is hard to see.
