Regulating MiiR SINNERS.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has issued an order that all milk shipped
over the New Jersey lines shall have at
tached to each can ticket in the shape of
a shipping tag, and all cans not thus mark
ed are to be left at the station where they
were brought for shipment. This order
was issued, it is said, owing to the fact
that under the old system of purchasing
tickets from local agents, and then tying
them on the cans. they were often found
''short, and the efforts of the company to
collect afterwards proved futile. Under
the new system number of cans have been
left at the stations, but in most cases they
are properly ticketed and brought to their
destination.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-09-04
ALMOST a DEATH.

Last week the community Was
shocked TO learn that 4 lady i'm this
city had very narrow escape from
death by reason of a morphine pre-
scription having been wrongly put
up by Mr.. Chedic, a druggist OF this
city.
The APPEAL has refrained from
commenting en- this case until it
could positively ascertain the facts.
Mr.. Chedic keeps a regular drng
store. but not being a professional
chemist and druggist, hires COM
petent clerk to put up the prescrip-
tions. The clerk met with an aeci-
dent to his eye and went away Tor
treatment, While he was away
Nr. Chedic attended 10 the business
himself, and gave little girl som,
morphine, who applied for it for
her sister, a married lady. He
gave her five powders, of three
grams each.
The APPEAL is informed by sew
eral physicians in this city that one
eighth OF grain is the usual dose,
and cne-fcurth OF 3 grain the maxi
mum dose for an adult.
A three-grain dose would be
twelve times the maximum dose
which is considered safe for an
adult. The fact Of its being so
large alone saved the lady's life.
These are the case, as near as we
have been able to gather them. A
very grave responsibility rests on
the vendors of drugs, as the varia-
ton Of a fractional part of a grain
may at any time wipe out a human
life.
III Mr.. Chedlc cannot trust him |
self with the business he shonld |
cease to sell poisons until he has
secured the services of n competent
drug CLERK. 1t is asking too much !
OF the community to have it take
chances of that sort.

VEOGMAN WIPEIs GUT.

On Saturday last Henry Vroomsn
and w. + Dargie contested the
Republican primaries in Oakland
Dargie is young newspaper man
with not much OF political record,
while Vrooman is an old stager in
politics, whose record is so we'll
known that it smells worse than q
decemposed polecat wherever he
has camped.
Vrooman has represented Ala
media county before in the Senate,
and it is proven beyond doubt
that he accepted brides and retain
ers from three different sources
while in the Senate on one bill, and
sold out two oil the parties who had
bought him.
People of this Coast are getting
rather accustomed to dishonest pol
iticians, but q man who is such q
prime rascal ~ Vrooman is too
much for them to stomach, and he
was swept out of sight on Saturday.
1t Was not his affiliations with the
Southern Pacific r. R. that beat
him, but the exposure OF the mans
unqualified rettenness which oozed
out of every pour.

The Evangelist,s service at the
state Prison.

The Eyangelist,s Service at the
state Prison.
Last Sunday the services at the
prison were conducted by Mrs
Wheatson the evangelist.
The lady, has been several DAYS
in the city and her face which has
cliarmed4everybody on the streets
was a welcome sight to the prison
ers as il beamed through the bars
on Sunday afternoon.
The lady, who is religious en-
thnsiast, made an appeal to the piis-
oners which tor earnestness they
probably never heard equaled.
Her face even in her old age is
sweet and beautiful and as she
spoke the tears coursed down her
cheeks.
When she began her address
overan hundred faces were turned to
hers, but as she talked to the pris-
oners and drew a touching picture
OF tteir childhood days, the evening
prayers by their mothers knee and
the CHEEKY Preside which they left
when they went out into the world.
these faces speedily disappeared and
every head was bowed down AS far
out of sight as possible.
Suddenly she stopped and sang:
.Jesns lover of my soul let me to
thy bosome f1y."
Her voice is a very remarkable
one, very strong and rich at times
and as mellow as an organ.
The prisoners voices gradually
melted into the strain until they all
Joined in the familiar hymn and
above the combined strength of
more than a hundred throats the
sweet notes of the woman's voice |
floated as clear as the stroke of
bell sounding over tie hoarse shouts
Of a crowd.
When the hymn was finished
every prisoner before her cried like
! child.
When the service is ended there
S always a rush for the flowers
which lie on the table, but on this
occasion when she finished ler
prayer every man sit mute
md motionless and for several mo-
nents there was a deathllke still
less everywhere.
Then she walked behind the
ron gate and went down among
he men shaking hands in turn

The other day John Bull heard a
strange noise in the rear of his
house, and going out found the
British Lion laughing fit to kill
himself.
He found on investigation that
the tail of the lion was being tick
led by Grover Cleveland, but not
pulled to hurt
The Lion enjoyed it Immensely,
and when Grover let go he pushed
it through the bars where he could
catch it handler.
The Lion said it was great fun,
and not at al like the way James
q. Blaine used to twist it.
