A SUBJECT ATTRACTING ATTEN-

Some Facts of General Interest-The Poi

much attention in the medical world today

called an animal alkaloid. The first definite
Investigations on this subject were made by
the learned Danish physician who presided
so ably at the eighth international medical
congress in 1Ss4-Dr Panum, Of Copenhagen.
Panum found that putrid blood, even after
being boiled and after being treated with
chemical reagents, which would destroy all
germs, retained its poisonous properties, be
boiled this poisonous substance for eleven
hours and found tia. it still retained all its
virulenca From this be rightly concluded
that the poisonous substance was a non-vola'
tile chemical compound lie did not succeed
in isolatinS it, and it has always been referred
10 as Parum's putrid poison. Panum's work
vas published i'll Danish, and did not attract
much attention for some years

HoN. CLARENCE PULLES.

At Granite Hall tonight delivers his en-
tertaining lecture, The City of Mexico" H.
lustrated by large number of fine views
from powerful stereopticon This is a most
interesting subject, and it is in able hands.
The advance sale of tickets Mt Millikens is
very satisfactory. The Portland Argus
says of this lecture
"A cultured and appreciative audience
greeted the Hon. Clarence Pullen at City
Hall last evening, and listened with delight
to his lecture, illustrated by fine views, on
the CITY of Mexico. Mr.. Pulen, while Sur
vevor-tcncral of New Mexico, became thor
oughly interested in and gained full knowl-
edge of the old Spanish civilization that so
long dominated great part of this continent
aud whose influence ~ even now so wide
spread. To crafty his curiosity he visited
oh Mexico and passed some time IN the
ancient capital of the Aztecs. the scene of
the final conquest by Cortez and his following
of Spanish free-booters. Some of the results
of the visit were given in the lecture, which
was one of the most entertaining and instruc-
tive ever given in City IIall-a hall in which
so many admirable lectures have been de-
livered."

Table says of the play of Daniel Boone
which will be presented in Granite hall to-
morrow evening
The plav of Daniel Boone" is picturesque
and realistic, and gives an accurate delinea-
ton of the pioneers life in the early days.
There are many thrilling situations. and not
too much blood-letting and scalp-taking,
which generally glut aud spoil plays of this
nature. Dashes of humor brighten up the
action at iudicious intervals. The scenery
is all that could be desired, and taking all to-

HAVE YOU READ THE NEWS
PAPER67"
Question that Should be Omitted in
Selecting Jurymen.s

nat was very sensible remark thai
1ndge Peters made at the opening of the
Stain-Cromwell trial." said citizen to the
journal reporter yesterday.
How was that"
ny, VIII they were selecting the iury
the counsel for the defence asked that time
worn Chestnut Of one of the panel, Have vor
read the newspaper reports of this case ?
Inc Judge silenced him. however, by re.
marking that ne wouldn't be much of man /,
he didn't read the papers"
yes, there was good deal Of truth ir
that statement, more perhaps than has beer
told by good many of the Witnesses"
well, suppose it's your business to ga,
50, but seriously many Of the questions tina,
are asked in selecting jury have otter
seemed ridiculous to me. The questions O,
the learned council often run something like
this:
Have you read the newspaper reports OF
this case? IF the answer is yes" the learned
counsel assumes look of profound gravity
as he asks:
Did you form an opinion on the case %
'Well probably did at the time"
Have you given the subject much thought
since reading the newspaper report of it 2"
"No."
~'Haye you ever conversed with anyone
about it 2"
NO"
Gould the opinion formed by reading the
newspaper report be wholly removed by evil
dence showing the contrary 2"
Yes"
well now it seems to me that this man is
FULLY qualified to sit on that jury and render
au impartial verdict based wholly upon the
evidence in the case. My experience, how
ever, which | admit has not been very ex-
tensive is that this man would be challenged
and not permitted to sit on that jury. It
seems To me the system which would make
the ideal juryman person unable to read
or to form independent opinions from his
reading is not in keeping with good common
sense. 1t is illogical and pernicious. It
and newspaper readers, such series of ques-
tons should be dropped in empaneling juries.
Whatever judgment is formed concerning
any mans qualifications must come from
the statements made by the man himself.
If his statements of facts accepted in one
case why should they be discredited in
another II man states under oath that he
has formed no opinion which would stand in
the way of his rendering an impartial verdict
based wholly upon the evidence as presented
in the case why should the fact that he
read the newspapers and accepted for the
time being the view of the case as given by
them, unfit him to be a juryman !?
cannot see the slightest reason,
and | should judge from the remark
| quoted that the able Chief Justice of this
State entertans a similar view of the matter"

A Pleasant Occasion.

very pleasant and enjoyable concert was
given at the residence of Mr.. James n
Wade of this city, last evening by the Au-
gusta Concert Band The work which has
been done by this band has not come to the
notice of our citizens generally, but the re-
suits ATTAINED by it, and which could have
come only by the most earnest and persistent
effort, are certainly such as to merit atten-
ton. This band which is composed of both
ladies' and gentleman started into the work
last June, but it was not thoroughly under
way till the following August. Since that
time it has practiced regularly every Tues
day and Thursday evening under the instrue-
ton of Prof. Frank A. Dennis and is now
able to do good work and to play very ac-
ceptably large number of selections. At
the present time there are fifteen brass
pieces in the band, but we understand that
drums, and possibly other instruments are to
be added soon The presence of ladies in
the band was a what novel sight but the
manner in which they played showed that
they had made quite as good progress in
their musical work the gentlemen
If the selections which the journal man
listened to at Mr.. Wades last evening are IA

organizations of this city. While the band,
owing to the presence of ladies among its
members, would be unable to march, it is
open to engagements for concerts, meetings,
excursions, lectures, etc, and We predict
that after they once come before the public
they will have many calls. The following
are the members j. +. Dearborn, Geo. +.

the direction of Prof. Frank Dennis.
When the concert was about half done a
bountiful treat was served, and all present
had chance in addition, to get all the pure
Diamond spring water they wanted. At the
close of the repast Mr. Wade favored the
company an imitation of the kickapoo war
dance which convulsed everyone with
laughter and added immensely to the merri-
ment of the evening Several more select
ions were then rendered by the band, and
the company broke up, each one voting the
evening most pleasant one and Mr.. Wade
and his family the most genial and hospitabe
of hosts.
