PERFUMES As PREvENTIvES. :
Some Consolation, at Last, for the
Dude,r SMeetheaFt.

Professor MantegaZzi has found that
nearly all the essences used in pc rtumery,
and many others not appropriated by the
perfumer, when exposed to air and light,
develop Ozone. He says that the oxida-
ton of these essences is one of the most
convenient means of producing ozone,
since, even when in very minute quanti-
ty, they can ozonize large quantity of
oxygen, while their action is very per-
sistent; that in the greater number Of
cases the essences, in order to develop
ozone. require the direct rays of the sun;
in a sInall number of cases they effect
the change with diffused light i'll few or
none in darkness" Even a vessel that
has been perfumed with an essence and
afterward washed and dried, still de-
velops ozone, provided a slight odor re-
mains. The most effective essences are
those Of cherry, laurel, palma, rose,
cloves, lavender, mint, juniper, lemons:
fennel, and bergamot; the less effective
are anise, nutmeg, cljeput, and thyme.
Mantegazzi adds that ''camphor, as an
ozonogenic agent is, is inferior to any of
the abOve-named essences" These facts
should be better known than they are.
Our grandmothers used perfumes as dis
inlectants, and ozone being the most et-
fective of oxi1izing disiRfectants, it ap-
pears that they were right. In the East
where there is much need for atmos-
pheric publication, the old faith in per-
fumes still remains With us il is now
generally supposed that such perfumes
merely hide the malodour and deceive
us, but if Mantegazzi and Doctor A ders
are right this modern notion is fallacy.

Of the deceased. But that is dramatic
license, and only in comedies. where
true love and devotion are made funny,
not to say ridiculous, do they make
widows plump. Come to think of it,
don't see why a widow SHOULDN'T be
plump. She has nothing to worry
about. She is the heroine of one
great battle, with weakened

CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT.
An Old Importer Tells How Some
People Commit Gross Frauds.

"One of the most difficult things to
detect" SAID an old importer, "is the
fraudulent allowance of rebate of GUS
toms duties on goods alleged to Eave
been damaged. Where the importer
and the appraiser are dishonest the fraud
is almost impossible of detection. The
plan of operations is very simple. lhe
law requires that the full duties shall be
paid upon the withdrawal OF goods.
Then, if goods are found to be damaged
within ten days, the importer sends
word to the custom house, and an
appraiser is seut to the importers store
or warehouse, and there appraises the
damage, and upon his report is based
the allowance of duties to be refunded.
This system leaves opportunity to COM
NIT several kinds of fraud.
There is, in the first place, an easy
chance to substitute other goods Tor
those actually imported. There Is a
case on record where an importer of
fruits kept lot of damaged goods on
hand for year, and used them to mix
with every importation for the purpose
of securing damage allowances. The
goods being in the importers possession
it is simply impossible to detect fraud
like that, especially where the appraisei
is dishonest.
"There is. ofcourse, so much dependent
upon The judgement of the appraiser Ill
such cases that there is wide margi''
for fraud. The appraiser, for instance

nooIdv or sugared. He may judge from

a class of such goods is entitled to dam

cases would be TO give the dishonest I'M

About Cents.

There is no nickel in cent-piece.
The alloy used in making that coin is
composed of 95 per cent, of copper and
per cent, of tin and zinc. lis intrinsic
value is about one-tenth of cent. The
report that counterfeits are in ciIcu! alton
is doubted, as the profits would be sHall.
The old penny was made Of pure copper
and was intrinsically worth one-third OF
a cent. An attempt at counterfeiting
them was once made. The frauds were
manufactured at Birmingham, Eng. But
The same cause made that enterprise a
failure. 1t needed to many too make a
profit of any amount.

GALLONS FOR A GIRL
Is the Promise of Prosecutors in Poison

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., June 12-The trial Of
Annie Vanfossen, the nineteen-year- old girl ac-
cused of poisoning the Vanfossen and McBane
families, of this place, Jan. g. last, comes up
in our Criminal Court next Monday. 1t will be
remembered that On the evening of the 9Th of
last January, while the Vanfossen family were
entertaining their guests, the McBanes, at sup
per, those at the table who took coffee noticed a
peculiar taste in the drink, and in a few moments
all were taken with violent vomiting. AS
those who had taken tea were not So affected,
suspicion at once pointed to the coffee. Doctors
were sent for, and Mrs. McBane, I'M

year-old daughter, Allie, in her arms and
started for Dr. Russels Office. She had no sooner
arrived there than the child expired. For days

her. The case will be well tried and is exciting
great deal of interest throughout the county.

Bloody Fight between Negroes.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 12.-News has been
received here of bloody riot which occurred
on Sunday at negro camp meeting at Mount
Zion Church, about nine miles from Yorkville
The country darkies had promulgated the idea
that they did not desire the presence of town
negro es at their meeting putting on airs, and
in turn the town negroes had boosted that they
would 60 down to Zion and teach the rural
darkies lesson in etiquette. Besides the knives
and razors, and cheap pistols, which go to make
up the Negroes defensive outfit each party was
we'll supplied with whisky. Scarcely had the
first town contingent arrived when hostilities
began The conflict was desperate and blood,
and ragged for over an hour at the end OF which
time the country negroes were in full possession
Of the field and the town darkies in full retreat
The casualties, as near as can be learned, were
one man killed, two fatally wounded and at
least twenty more or less seriously injured. A
general stampede followed the first crash The
meeting closed without the formality Of the
doxology, and frightened negroes of both sexes
and ali ages and conditions, scampered off in
every direction.

mischief than good. am opposed to the COM
mission-that is, l don't think that the three
commissioners should have the authority to
name the appointees of certain classes of clerk
ships under the government; but, on the con-
trary, hold that the heads of the depart

own subordinates. [ don't think it follows that

Imposing Funeral Ceremonies.

MONTREAL, June 12-It is estimated that at
least 10, 900 people were in the church of Notre
Dame this morning. The ceremony was most i'm
pressive. The dead Archbishop lay in a magnif-
cent coffin, his head resting upon pillow of satin
slightly raised so that his features were exposed
to the gaze of the faithful thousands. His
mitre, stole and cross lay at his feet. The whole
was elevated upon magnificent cotafa lque,
surrounded by hundreds of lighted tapers.
Throughout the night members of Adorat on
Nocturn remained with the body reciting pray
ers for the dead. Punctually at 9 o'clock the
services were begun. The officiating clergymen
were Bishop Williams of Boston, Bishop Wad-
ham, of Odgensburg, Bishop Fabre, of Montreal,
and Bishop Duhamel OF Ottawa. Archbishop
Tache, of Winnipeg preached the sermon.
After the service at Notre Dame, the funeral
procession formed and proceeded to the church
of Notre Dame Pite, where the remains of
Mgr Sartique had lain. These were exhumed
yesterday, and have ever since been exposed to
the alteration of thousands. The procession,
headed by two hearses, containing the bodies
of the Archbishop and Bishop, then wendell its
way to St Peters Cathedral, where another inn
posing ceremony took place, after which the
remains of the two bishops were laid to rest
in the same vault The streets through which
the procession passed were heavily draped in
black and gold, the pontifcal colors. The city
is crowded with visitors.
