SHIFTING At PRUSSlC ACID,

A Coroner Finds Out How the Quickest
of all Poisons Works.
Deputy Coroner Scholer, who narrowly
escaped death recently from shifting at the
bottle from which Miss Mary Van Orden
had drunk prussic acid and died, told q
reporter about it.
with me in Miss Van Orden's room,"
he said, "was DR.. j. F. Terriberry. We
had been told that Miss Van Orden
was in the habit of taking morphine, and
as had not yet been told that she had
bought prussic acid, 1 supposed I was
going to smell Of Majendie's solution.
passed the vial we found back and forth
under my nose three or four times and
got a good sniff of the acid 1t has O
sweet, almond flavor, pungent and not at
all disagreeable. Then passed the bottle
to DIR. Terriberry, and he took sniff. 1
noticed that he was growing pale Then
l began to feel faint and weak myself
''Dr. Terriberry and l clutched each
other and reeled. Either would have
fallen without the support of the other. l
held on to him and called for fresh air.
We were led to the door and down two or
three flights Of stairs. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that drew my breath.
My consciousness was perfect, but had
no control of my arms or hands or of my
lower limbs. When tried to step raised
my foot two feet from the ground, and
when tried to feel of my pulse l could
not use my hands I noticed that the blood
had left the finger nails and that my
hands were white as chalk. All through
my body it seemed as though the blood
were driving toward my heart. How

young man there said sulphate of mag
nesia was an antidote for prussic acid, but
it isn't. l took the dose, however, and
then was led to the Forty-seventh street
police station Capt. Killilea prescribed
brandy, and as he believes in large doses,
be gave me SO much that I was drunk
after taking it. l told Capt Killilea Of my
difficulty in breathing, and told him how
TO move my arms up and down. He
lifted window in the police station and
worked my arms like pump for long
time, causing an artificial movement Of
the ribs.
Then 1 was taken to the Roosevelt
hospital, and a physician gave me q dose
of carbonate Of ammonia. In two hours

Concerning Patent Medicines"

From 1861 up to 1888 the manufactur-
ers of specifics had TO get out patents and
pay into the treasury per cent. of their
receipts. AS there were 5000 articles on
the list, the government derived large
revenue from this source. The amount
for the twenty-five years reached $780,
100000. In 1888 the tax was abolished.

A SMILE AND A FROWN.

Only frown! yet it pressed sting
Into the day which had been so glad;
The red rose turned to q scentless thing,
The bird song ceased with discordant ring,
And heart was heavy and sad.
Only smiei yet it cast spell
Over the sky which had been so gray;
The rain made music wherever it fell,
The wind sung the song of a marriage bell,
And heart was light and gay. e.

SCENE OF WARlIKE ACTIVITY.
THE GALENA FITTING OUT TO
GO TO HAYTI.
Government Demand for the Release
of the Haytlen Republic TO BE
Euforced-Ordcr Issued to Rear
Admiral Luce.

Action has been taken by Secretary Whit
ney which leaves no doubt as to the policy
of this government with regard to the case
of the American steamer Hayten Republic,
recently seized at Port au Prince, Hayti
The release of the vessel has been demanded
through the proper diplomatic channels, and
il the demand is not complied with within a
reasonable period of time, steps will be taken
to enforce it. With this end in view, Secre-
tary Whitney sent telegraph!c instructions
to Rear Admir- Gherardi, COM
mandant of the New York navy yard
TO have the ships Richmond, Galena and
Yantic prepared for sea as rapidly as pc 81
bic. The idea now is to have them ready so
that they can sail for Hayti at the earliest
moment. Orders have also been issued for
Rear Admiral Luce, commanding the North
Atlantic station, to transfer his flag from the
Galena to the Richmond, and use that vessel
as the flagship of the expedition.
1t is learned that the action of Secretary
Whitney, in ordering a fleet of vessels to
prepare for an expedition to Hayti, is due,
not so much to an absolute refusal on the part
of that government to comply with the re.
quest for the release Of the seized American
vessel, as to the dilatory tactics adopted
by the Haytian authorities in dealing
with the question. The position taken by
this government is understood to be that, 90
the Haytian authorities referred the arbi-
tration of the case to this government, they
are virtually bound by its decision, and that
when they were informed by this govern
ment that they had no legal right to seize
the Haytien Republic, they should have
accepted the situation and released the
vessel. While they have not refused to do
this, they are, it is said, acting in such q
procrastinating way as to indicate strong
disinclination TO accept the Judgment against
them.
The Brooklyn navy yard was in a fer
ment of warlike activity. In accordance
with dispatch received from the navy de.
partment, ordering Rear Admiral Gherardi
to get the corvette Galena ready for sea i'm
mediately, all that vessels supplies were put
aboard her. Though the Galena's arma-
ment is not of the latest type, her deck
bristles with formidable looking can
non. They consist Of one 60
pound 53-iO-incb, breech. loading rifle;
one s-inch, muzzle-loading rifle, throwing a
projectile of $50 pounds, which explodes by
impact, and also the regulation fuse shell
six 9-inch, smooth-bore Dahlgrens, firing q
90-pound shot; one gating gun and one
three-inch breech-loading rifle and two 90
pound breech- leaders She will take with
her five tons of powder and 400 pounds Of
gun cotton, for use in torpedoes
