FATAL EFFECTS OF AN ANEsTHETIC.-
John F. Sherry, proprietor of printing es-
tablishment at No. 623 D street Washing
ton, made laughing remark at noon yes
terday that if some work was not carefully
done there would be Masonic funeral on
Sunday. A few minutes after two fingers
OF his hand were crushed in press, and
three hours later he was dead. His death
was the result of an overdose of ether adj
ministered during the operation on his
hand. The story of the tragedy is as fol-
lows: He was busy experimenting job
of work at his place yesterday afternoon.
The sheets of paper which passed through
the press were too small for the machine
and they had to be carefully watched and
guided through by hand. Once the paper
was in danger of being caught in the roll
ers, and Mr.. Sherry, who was standing
alongside, made grab at it with the inten-
ton of Strengthening it out In less than
second his right hand had been drawn in
between the rollers, and before he could ex-
tricate it the index finger and the one next
toit were terribly mutilated, the bones being
crushed and the flesh torn away. Mr..
Sherry got into cab and drove to his home.
A physician was called and the operation of
dressing the wounded hand was begun, but
wac ouuuOuiy ctOPPCu Wu0H ~ W DO uioOoFOA
ed that Mr.. Sherry was dying. A moment
later he was dead. The deceased lived in
Alexandria few years ago, and proved
himself an estimable gentleman to the few
acquaintance he made here. He was
religious man and during his residence in
this city was connected with the Second
Presbyterian Church. Mr.. Sherry was
born in Maryland but learned his trade in

that the General has s1et up'' in his oppo-
sition to the confirmation Of Col. Gibson as
U. s. attorney for the eastern district of

A Wise Reform.

The habit Of administering quinins IN
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone wide
reform. Not only the public. but professional
men have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters ns 9
safe bontanic substitute for the pernicious
alkaloid. The consequences of this change
are most important. Now fever and ague suf-
wer only for thu tiIna relieved. or half cured
the remedy eventually FILLING to produce
any appreciable effect, exce,t the doses were
Increased. A course of the Bitters, persis-
teptly followed, breaks up the worst attacks
favor Of this sterling specific and household
medicine is of no ambiguous character, but
positive and satisfactory, and the sources
whence 1t proceeds are very num.roNs.
