PLANTS THAT ARE POISONOUS.
Members of the Sumach Family Which
Are to Be Avoided-Remedies.

Members of the Sumach Family Which
Are to Be Avoided-Remedies.
There are many species Of these plants be-
longing to the sumaeh famiy-known to the
botanist under the general name Of rhus--
widely scattered throughout North America.
The most important are the poison oak, q
shrub from one to three feet high, its leaves
having three leaflets; poison ivy, which is, OF
course. a vine; and poison sumach, or swamp
sumach, also popularity called dogwood, and
scientifically known as rhus venenata, or
poisonous rhus. Each is well known here ii
Is common. They are all similar in their
poisonous character.
While many persons are wholly unsuscep-
tihle to their poison, many others are poisoned
by handling the plants, and some even by the
emanations from them. The suffering from
these poisons is severe. There is an intoler-
able itching and burning, and if another part
Of the body is brought into contact with the
affected part it becomes equally affected. The
whole body sometimes swells, and there are
local determinations and pustules filled with
an acrid fluid.
The question Of cure is one of much Inn
portance to the sufferer. Some of the reme-
dies which have been suggested are useless;
others painful; others dangerous. The
Medical Record contains communications
on the subject from several physicians,
each giving his own experience, with
remedies employed by him.
DR.. r. G.. Williams, Of Whitney, Texas,
writes that strong decoction of the common
cup oak bark, boiled to the consistency of
tar, and applied by means of camel's hair
brush, or an ordinary brush or mop, two or
three times, is very eficacious.
DR.. J. B. Kell, Of Delphos, Ohio, had him
self been poisoned six times, the last attack
rendering his features barely recognizable.
What sufferers generally want is immediate
relief Of the smarting pain and intense itch
ing. While he found the common remedies
beneficial, he did not obtain the desired relief
until he applied to the infamed parts satu-
rated solution Of potassium chlorate The effect
Of this is exceedingly gratifying. The linen
with which it is applied should be changed
once an hour.
DR.. j. r. Flowers, of Columbus, Ohio, says
OF severe case IAN old native Indian gath
cred quantity Of boneset, and after pound
ing the tops and leaves to pulp, applied it to
the parts effected during the night. The next
morning the swelling had all disappeared.
Since that time have used the fluid extracts
Of the same for all my cases, and the result
has been an immediate cure. Several of my
medical friends have tried it, and the results
has in every case been very satisfactory

Names Of southern Negroes.

A Yankee friend of mine in speaking OF
the Limekiln club says: sit is inimitable,
only that the names Of the members are
so exaggerated. When wrote her list
of the queer names that have become SO
familiar to me from much hearing she de-
clared that she would retract her opinion
Of the Limekiln names being exaggerated.
The negroes generally take their names
either from their surroundings or obtain
them from the white people, often mixing
up names in the most homogeneous style.
Lily is the favorite name for the blacklist
pickaninny among them. Our old wash
erwoman named her only child Mary
Mandy Selma Pleasant Delightful. A
bow legged young defendant Of Ham re-
joices in the name of Shadrach Meshach
Abednego-though he is generally known
as Shad.
A fond young mother could not decide
what to call her first son, so in her di-
lemma applied to a young lady, who told
her to call him Willipus Wallapus. The
name tickled her fancy and now Willipus
Wallapus is added to the list. This same
negro has since become the mother Of q
daughter, and in speaking Of her q few
days since says: 81 amt sot on no name
for her yit, but I'll either call her Queen
Victoria or Mrs. Cleveland" She also
has stepson, an overgrown fellow Of IL
or IL, who bears the sweet name of Rose
bud Tabb. But perhaps the most ridicu-
1ous names are found in those of the
children of half witted negro near this
place. There are three of them, named
respectively Heaven, He'll and Moses
Smote the Water. A party ( picnickers
were very much startled in passing her
house one day to hear the following COM
mand: ''Look hyar, Heaven, you niggah,
you go down to He'll and git dat ar dip
per wot dey got down dere." 1t was only
after a thorough investigation that she
could be understood Cor. De-

A 5oke on the DIXIE.

Duke Carl, of Wurtemberg, was great
hand at a practical joke in his younger
days. Once he called at farm house and
asked the farmers wife, who was churn-
ing, for drink of milk. She did not
know her visitor, but went away to fetch
the milk, when the duke seized cat,
which was lying near, and threw it, to.
gether with ducat, into the churn.
When the woman returned, he drank the
milk and walked away. Agar later the
same prince entered the house in different
dress, and again asked for glass of milk,
and inquired whether some one hadn't
once secreted cat in her churn. The
farmers wife laughed, and said: sob,
yes; and wouldn't mind his doing it
again at the same price, s'What did you
do with the butter you were churning

His Letter With the From
Samoa.
WAsHISGroN, July 13.-The mail which
was brought to San Francisco about ten
days ago from Admiral Kimberly at
Samoa, has just reached the navy depart
ment. 1t bears date June 10.
In his report the admiral says although
he natives are hard pressed for food they
hsve commenced planting, and as food
fruits will soon be ripe the danger OF a
famine is passed. All of the guns and
gun carriages Of the Trenton and Van
dalia, except one ninsi CT gun belonging
IN the latter which cannot be found, have
been recovered and packed on the shore
at Apia. There is nothing of any value
to the goverDment left on either ship ex-
cept the machinery.
The report from Lisutenant-com-
msnder Lyons, commanding the Nipsic
has also been received. The Nipsic was al
Tanning island waiting for coal " hich bad
been purchased at Honolulu by Com
mauder Green OF the Alert and was to be
delivered at Fsnning island June Is. The
passage of the Nipsic from Apis to Fan

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

A Villain Murders 8 Whole Family and
Is Himself Found Dead.
BosroN, July ia horrible tragedy
was enacted in Somerville at an early
hour this morning. The victims are Mrs.
Catharine Smith, aged IS, her son
Thomas, II, and the perpetrator of the
terrible deed. Augustus Rosenberg, while
two other children of Mrs. Smiths were
injured, one of which will die. The muir
derer had been living with Mrs. Smith
over year as her hasbans, but it is the
general belief they were not married. The
cause of the tragedy is not known, though
Rosenberg has com planned about the way
he has been treated in money matters by
the woman. 1t is supposed that recent
quarrel over their financial affairs was the
chief cause of the tragedy. The scene of
TIE shooting was at the corner of Dane
street and Dane court, Somerville.
The nsighbors were aroused at about l
O'Clock by a number of pistol shots, and
the police were promptly notified. The
police entered the front door and encoun-
tened the dead body of Thomas Smith.
A bullet had entered his forehead. He
was the Oldest of the children, of which
there were five. Mrs. Smith was found in
bed. The ball entered the right temple.
All the children occupied rooms in the at
tao. Willie, aged II, and Augustus, eyed
Z, slept together. The former was shot
through the body fatally. Augustus was
shot in the mouth. The boy Charles, aged
years, was slig lily wounded. Five shots
for five persons, four of them fatal, shows
great deliberation on the part OF the nur-
deyer.
Rosenberg jumped from window after
plishing his bloody work and was
presumed for me time to have escaped,
but his dead body was shortly afterwards
found in Dane court, about 500 feet from
the scene of the murders. There was no
wound, and from the froth at the mouth it
is supposed he either died in fit or by
poison. Rosenberg was the husband of
Charles Smiths sister, who died a few
years ago. He had several children of
his own living in BJw Street court, Somer'
vile. He went to live with Mrs. Smith
shortly after the mysterious disappear
ance OF her husband about a year ago.
The couple we're not married so far as any
one knows.
Further examination shows that Rosen-
berg met his death in peculiar and unin-
territorial manner while attempting to es-
cape from the scene of his devilish work
In trying to scale fence at the end of a
lane through which he ran the doctor
thinks he fell Oh pile of railroad sleep,
ers lying beside the railroad tracks
and struck his head on spike,
which fractured his skull and
instantly killed him. DR.. Durell says there
is no doubt he was crazy. The house
where the murder occurred has been all
day surrounded by crowds of curious peo-
pie.

Progress of the Strike at the Carnegie
Plant-Both Sides Determined.
PTTTsBURG, July 13.-There is an arms
tice at Homestead to-day, and the gu e.
prevailing is in striking contrast to the
scenes of disorder and excitement yester'
day. The Pinkerton men who arrived here
yesterday morning we're not taken to the
scene of the trouble. 1t is unerstood they
are stationed at point few miles from
the city on the Pennsylvania railroad to
await developments. All night long the
strikers pstrolled the river banks and the
Railroad track, watching for the Pinkefton
guards and non-union workmen, but they
did not put in an appearance.
This morning the strikers are still in
control at Homestead, but they are max
ing no demonstration and are holding off
pending conference of the Amslgamsted
officials and Csrnegie's manager, which
has been arranged for O'Clock this even
ing. The conference was arranged at the
solicitation of Sheriff McCsndless, and
every effort will be made to effect a set
Element this afternoon. II unsuccessful
one OF the most formidable strikes be-
tween capital and labor in the history
of this city will follow. The firm is IA
nous for its bitter determination in such
contests while the men regard it as life
and death struggle and have most thor
Ough organization. The meeting OF al
the lodges of the Amslgamsted associa-
ton at Homestead is in progress.
Aconference suggested By Sheriff Nc
Candies between the officials of the Anal
gsmated association and members OF the
firm of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., was held
last night, and it has been productive
of much better understanding
between the parties concerned. The con
ference this afternoon will be between the
employees as individuals and not as mem
bers of the Amalgsmsted association, and
the firm. It is understood the company
still sdheres to Its sliding scale, but Is will
ing to make some notifications, and the
men are also anxious to effect compro'
mise. A harmonious meeting and set
Element are expected.

the hair, forced his head back and cut his
throat. Jefferson made no effort to es

but claimed to have done it in self de-
Tense.

A Big Trade.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, July 13.--The Union
and Advertiser states this afternoon that
h. d. Warner 4 Co. are negotiating for
the sale of their vast proprietary medicine
business to English capitalists. This will
be, if consummated, notable transaction
including, as it will, the immense buildings
and business of the house at this point to-
gether with branches in operation in Lon
don, Frankfort, Melbourne, Australia; To-
ronto, Canada; Sydney, New South Wales
Presburg, Hungary, and others. The pur.
chase price is said to be S5yOO0,o00. Mr..
Warner will neither deny or affirm the story,
but there is ev=ry evidence that this great
business will soon be in English hands, but
the control will doubtless remain with Mr.,
Warner.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The Herald says
1t is reported among paper box manufac-
turers that the straw board trust, one of
the most powerful manufacturing COM
binations ever established, have given up
the fight and that it is only question of
few days when the pool will be broken.
This rumor is partly confirmed by the de-
cline in the past week of $l2 to $13 per
ton in the price of straw boards which
enter so largely into the manufacture of
paper boxes.

he will command as sooE as she is put in
