SOCIETY At JUG RIDGE.

The Misses BrayfOgle Hold n Brilliant and
Charming SOtree.
H6eThe scribe wishes to return his
best thanks to the Misses Brayfogle
for the courtesy of an invitation to be
present at the delightful dance given
by them Friday evening. It is seldom
that more brilliant or congenial COM
pany is assembled for social purposes,
even on the Ridge.
nThe one disagreeable feature
was the fact that RUDE Cypert broke
two fiddle strings. and having, as he
claimed, lost box of new strings on
the way to the dance, he was unable
to furnish music such as the occasion
warranted. The truth is that Rube
was up to his old tricks. and made
frequent visits to a bottle he had hid
den under the side porch. Look out.
RUDE; you are not the only man in
this neck o. woods that can play dan
Tucker and crowd the notes of a
waltz together like dried apples on a
string.
1@We must say we were not a little
surprised to find several of the Stover's
Mill crowd present as big as life and
twice as natural To our inquiry Katie
Brayfogle informed us that they were
there without invitation. Communicate
ing these facts to few of the Ridge
boys the festivities were postponed for
the time being and the Stover's Mill
party given three minutes to take their
ladies and abdicate or fight. True to
their low instincts they chose to fight,

ARSENicAL POISONING.
How to Discover It During the Life Of I'll
Victim.

How to Discover 1t During the Life of the
Victim.
DR.. Brouardel, the dean of the Paris
faculty, read before the Academy OF
Medicine, Paris, a paper on arsenical
poisoning particularly worthy the at
tention of all practitioners. An inn
the discovery of the fact of arsenical
poisoning during the life of the victim.
Occasionally a physician is called to
attend some patient-never really
makes out what is the matter, gives a
certificate of death based upon the
most prominent symptom he saw. and
subsequently is informed by the police
that his patient was poisoned with ar
senic. The Somerville cases in Massa-
chusetts passed in that way. Some
times the doctor suspects the evil, but
can not be sure by ordinary observa-
ton. What is he to do then? Examine
the venal excretion. DR.. Brouardel
says arsenic will be found there in a
few minutes after it has been given,
and if much has been given it may be
found for many days after the dosing
has stopped Qorty days in a
case watched by DR.. Gail
lard). But the physician must
take the excretion himself to be sure
against substitution. In addition the
poison can in a cronic case be found in
the hair-a lock of which can usually
be had without difficulty. DR.. Brou-
ardel Classics very exactly for in
stance in these obscure cases the Sc :
quence of symptoms making four
groups. First, come troubles with the
digestive organs; next, catateous erup-
tions and laryngo bronchial ca
tarrh; third, are troubles of sensibili-
ty. and, fourth, paralysis. IF death
follows rapidly it is because a paral-
ysis stops the heart But death may
not follow rapidly. 1t may not be due
20 direct action of the arsenic, but to
organic changes which the arsenic has
produced, changes in the hepatic and
renal cells and in the muscles so tina
the death resembles one due to chronic
alcoholism In such case if the ar
senic has been eliminated from all or
binary tissues it will yet be
found in the bones. Accord
ing to the researches of NJ.

tAxe few hasty notes through the

did some of the prettiest hitting that
has been seen on the Ridge this sea-

THE EMPIRE WEAKENS.

It seems that the German Govern ment is bound to settle strikers and possible future strikers at one round. Among six persons killed by the soldiery who were being jeered at by the populace at Schl,s- wig, was q boy of four years, and q woman was wounded besides. The capitalist papers report that the strikers are rlotous, but anybody is deemed'rlotous by them who goes on strike. The great uprising in Germany is the result of the un- bearable hardships the workers are made to suffer through the private enterprise of capitalists, and the government takes sides with its rich adorers. The b0urgeoisie in Ger many Is hard pressed also, and we should not be surprised at general uprising. The socialists are not prominently in this movement, though the government would like to fasten responsibility upon them in order to have another excuse for contemplated severe measures for suppression. The brute of an Elm peror himself told a deputation of workmen that if they did not qui' etly submit, that he would person ally supcrlntend their massacre. These signs of weakness are gratify- ing to all who hate czarlsm.

cialists. But it ls just the contempt ible condition of affairs under "this free government which makes them discontented. Unwilling to sell themselves to newspaper proprl- etors who serve the ruling class, too intelligent and too patriotic to shut their eyes to evils which must, if not checked, end in ruin, the Socialists, whether foreign or native born, are discontented and are hon est enough to express their dlscon- tent and point out the reasons for 1t. The editor of the Press, it seems, IS unable to comprehend this, but, as we have remarked, he is the victim of his bringing up, We say noth- ing of his morals-there are differ ent standards of morality in Bo- hemia, it seems.

 The other day poor old man in one of the London warehouses went into the masters house and blew his brains out. No wonder. If they could get the means to do it, and had the pluck, we believe at least half the inmates of the work houses in the metropolis would do the same. The warehouses are bad prisons, provided as starving dens by the bestial upper and middle classes to get rid of their victims when they have heeced them to nak- edneSs.

A man may talk republican" all the year round, but if he wtes "democratc' he is put down az a "democrat' on the canyasser's list every time, A man may protest that he is a labor reformer, but when he casts his vote for the "dem- ocratic" or "republican' candidates, his record is made according to his vote-not his talk. A single taXer may protest that he is opposed to the present system of society from the day after election to the day preced- ing the next voting day, but when he casts his vote for "Cleveland and Reform, " he shows that he IS really in favor of the present condition of things or that he is d fool or "bribee."

LOFTY CONCEPT.

There are among the editors of capitalist papers some who are intel ligent, no doubt, and some who are possessed of a general knowledge of men and things. There are also those who, if they were more intelli- gent and had more knowledge of the subjects they essay to write upon, would be quite useful in their way. These few remarks leave out of account the fact that these edi- tors are mainly hirelings engaged to do their masters bidding, and that they are literary prostitutes-we need hardly mention such things, as 1t would neither enlighten the afore- said editors nor edify their readers. But with all their faults, which We are charltably scientific enough to ascrlbe to the unfavorable surround ings in which they were raised and continue to wriggle, we are prone to admire the lofty conceit which these gentlemen of the press exhibit from time to time when socialism or so- ciaists receive the honor of notice at their hands. Here Is an example from last Sundays New York Press, a "republican' sheet:
 some of the men of extreme social istlc beliefs are intelligent and would be contented citizens if they had been born and brought up under this free govern ment."

CAPlTALlSTIC.

There IS an air of innocence upon the smiling editorial page of the Boston GlObe, as 1t ponders over the meaning of the word "captallstic, y when applied to the press. It won ders if 1t means "more friendly to capItal than to labor.
 We should say that the Globe has guessed pretty correctly. By "capi- talistic press we mean those papers who favor the present capitalist Sys- tenn by supporting the political par ties who perpetuate t,
 Such papers are supported by the Contalist class for the reason that they are supposed by the capitalists to have an influence oyer the voters of the wage-working class. The per petuation of the wage system-the condition under which the laborers (edltors and printers devils n- cluded) are compelled to "hire them selves out to private employers, depends very much upon how long the masses of the workers may be influenced by the idea that such a system is unchangeable, and, there fore, the best possible.
 If the Globe should advocate the abolition of private capital and favor instead the public ownership and control of capital, 1t would lose the support of the capitalists. Us ad- vertIsIng patronage would dwlndle, and even the great bulk of it's read CTS would desert 1t, owing to the prejudice which exists, and which the Globe, as well as other capitalist papers, have fostered against Social ism.
 The Socialist press, from a "busi- ness point of view, is hardly worth mention, but small as 1t Is, 1t nev- ertheess Is not influenced by any reactionary class, but advocates the principles of Socialism, and IS con- tnually pointing out the possibility, nay, the inev tableness, of the aboli- ton of the capitalist system, and the establishment of the cooperative system of society, in which each shall receive from the Socialist State, the only possessor of capital (as distinguished from wealth., all he IS entitled to in return for his ser vices, which reward shall be com puted upon just basis, and by the ultimate concensus of the people.
