Our Spelling School.
BT MISS aIlLLf STOUT.
One evening as passed along.
CHANGED upon a western town,
Where all around was bright and gay
Methought I'd tarry till next day.
My supper DER, looked around,
To see what amusement could be found:
And quietly turning to the right.
At the school house saw welcome light.
followed on toward the bright flame
And modestly asked from whence 1t came;
A little urchin quick replied,
A spelling school; come. 60 inside.
Walked in at the open door.
Found lads and lassies there, score;
Each one was clad In Sunday best,
And soon began the spelling test.
The teacher, forty. fat and fair,
With glasses poised and silyered hair.
Gave out the words in clear, quick tones,
To l.aynes and Clarks and Amos Jones,
The spoilers ranged from side to side,
And each to do their best hard tried;
But soon the ranks began to thin,
Hind In short time were very slim.
Three schools IN spelling did take part,
Some soon wayered and lost heart;
And some. twas wonderful to see,
How many letters in words could be.
Till only two were left alone
Young Tom from hurley, q merchants s son,
And Milly Stout did undertake
10 win the Slde for old Swan ala
But one unlucly word she missed.
While all the room was still as whist,
Young Tom spelled right and stepped in line.
Thus won the honors for this time.
His friends they cheered himloud and long,
And gathered round him In a thrung.
While Swan Lake feeling sad and sore,
Retired quietly from the floor.
Some time was spent In pleasant chat,
And then the teachers rat-tat.tat,
Called all to order and once more
The spoilers ranged upon the floor.
They spelled about, first east then west,
And each one did his level best;
But finally all were down once more,
Save the same two who stood before.
They spelled along without a moan
Until the teacher came to blown"
When young Tom was somehow mislead,
And Miliy quickly passed up head.
The conflict DER, quiet rcgned
Until tho teacher spoke again.
Its our turn now to cheer, she sald,
And then three rousing cheers were had.
The lights were out. we homeward went,
And each one to his best girl lent
His strong left arm lest she might fall,
And never then get home at all.
Good nights were said, we went to bed,
But visions still went through our head,
And misspelled words and boys and girls,
All came in one tremendous whirl.

Death Of the Champion Splinter

Wheelmeu's ROAD Race.

Harry NJ. johnson, the champion profess
sional Splinter of the world, died yesterday
afternoon at 100 Fifth street His home was
at ST. Louis, where he leaves widow and
two children. In the latter part of Febru-
airy he came to this city with the intention
Of taking trip to Aus tralia and competing
in the great handicap foot races which are
run in the Colonies quite frequently. AT
ter few weeks in San Francisco he COM
planned of sickness, which. however. wore
off in short time. He finally fell victim
o typhoid fever, and remained in his sick
chamber for several weeks, being Mt one
time at deaths door. Having magnificent
constitution, he finally recovered, and after
recuperating, he contested in the Sheffield
handicap at Central Park.
About six weeks ago be journeyed to
Grass Valley, where he was again taken
sick and had a desperate struggle with
death. lie recovered and returned TO Frisco
last week. a few days ago he was attacked
and his constitution having become COM
pletely exhausted from the repeated at
lacks, he fell victim to call from the
higher realm.
The immediate cause of death was peri
tontis, from which he had suffered once
before. An Saturday night and yesterday.
until death relieved him, his Sutttrngs
were intense, and hoping to better his con-
GitiOn, seine of his friends belonging to the
Olympic Club were arranging to take him
either 10 the German or ST. Mary's HoSpi-
tai He grew worse so rapidly, however.
thas the move was found impracticable, and
he died IN the room where his sickness over
took him, suffering fearful agony up to the
last
His remains were taken TO the parlors of
the In tied Undertakers, where they will
await in stTuctons either from his wife, in
81. Louis, or his mother, in Milwaukee, 10
both of whom the intelligence Of his death
wa mt once telegraphed.
J. p Haughn, who came to this Coast
with johnson, and who cared Tor him
through his various sieknesses, both here
and i'll Grass Valley, was notified of his
death at once and came down from the lat
Ter place last night to assist in caring for
tie remains. He is Of the opinion that the
relatives in the East will have them shipped
to st. Louis.
Johns0n's reputation as spTinter was
worldwide. In 1854 he won the great hapdi-
cap race at Sheffield, England, and had a
record III America of 100 yards in 9 As see
Ouds. As a matter of fact he reduced that
record to 9S4 in Denver, August IS 1859, but
make oath to the result, hence IT never be-
came an official record.
For year or more he served in the capa-
city of sporting editor of the St. Louis
News, and after coming 10 this Coast did
more or less writing for the Sporting World.

Miss lilly Conpors Sits Down to Die, but
Is Disappointed.
Miss lilly Connors, a go0d-looking eigh-
teen year-old jersey City girl, drank bottle
of carriage varnish yesterday. says the New
York Sun, because she wanted to die. She
lives with her parents in Grove street. and
she is considered one of the best-looking
girls in the neighborho0d. She has many
suitors. but she had preference for one in
particular whose name she refuses to dis
close. He called on her regularly, and
their friends thought they were engaged. A
week ago, for some reason, the young man
stopped calling. Miss Connors sent for
him, but he did not respond. She hunted
for him then and discovered that he had de-
serted her for another young woman who
recently came to the city. She reproached
him.
She went home and brooded over her
troubles, and determined to kill herself.
There was bottle of insect poison and
bottle OF carriage varnish in closet in the
house. She went to the closet Friday even
ing and took one of the bottles. She thought
1t contained the insect poison. She waited
until yesterday, and then went to the cor
ner of Grove and Tenth streets, block
away from her home. She shut her eyes.
took the bottle OF varnish from her pocket
and drank the contents. Then she sat
down on stoop to await death. A boy
saw her drink from the bottle and told a
policeman. The policeman sent for DR..
Hoffman and an ambulance. The doctor
brought pump with him. When the doc
tor had finished with her she was taken to
the City Hospital and put to bed. She
wondered why she didn't die. She told
Warden Osborn that sue had taken insect
POISON. The Warden told her she had
taken varnish. She said it was all mis-
take; she must have got hold of the wrong
BOTTLE Then she told how her lover had
deserted her, and she wanted to die. She
will be about in day or two.

ROOTED TO THE SPOT.

Cruel Practical Joke Played on n Good
Man Who Is Now "A College President.
l heard story the other day about a
former assistant rector Of one of the largest
Episcopal churches in the city, says the
Brooklyn Life. The gentleman in question
is now the President of a college so far
away that he cannot mind if l relate the in
cdent. He was a jolly good fellow when
he lived in a boarding house here, and in his
off hours was accustomed to join in with
the other good fellows Of the house at a
friendly game at whist or a smoke.
One evening, when he was out at service,
two of the wags of the establishment re-
membered that it was his invariable habit
upon returning home to doH his roundabout
vest and clerical coat, put on an old smok-
ing jacket and encase his feet in pair of
morocco slippers, which latter always occu-
pied the same position on his bedroom
floor preparatory to his coming. Accord
ingly they firmly nailed these slippers to
the floor and awaited results in the next
room.
Presently the dominic returned. They
heard him moving about; they heard the
thud of his shoes as they were taken off and
thrown down, and then all was silence.
They peeked cautiously in, and there be-
held the young clergyman standing in his
slippers, his face white as sheet and a
look OF horror upon 1t, his eyes staring
straight ahead. The sight was too much
for them. but they managed to suppress
their laughter and ask, in tone of amaze
Hent. what the matter was.
Matter" he gasped, there is matter
enough, boys I'm paralyzed and can't
move hand or foot. For nercy's sake, help
me-"
The man did actually-such is the force
of imaglnation-believe he was paralyZed
for moment or two, but he finally set 'em
up in manner appropriate to his calling
by buying cigars for the crowd.

EATING YELLOW MUD.

Tremendous Growth of the Aduiteraiion
OF Food by the Use of Barytes.
A st. Louis gentleman was met at one Of
the hotels who states that in several eoun-
ties OF Missouri wholesale business in an
adulterant known as barytes is carried ON
tn an extent which has become almost
alarming. The name of the informant is
in possession Of the Denver News, but for
reasons given by himself it is not given at
present. In speaking of the unlawful
traffic he said: "Barytes is a cheap, white
mineral substance, which is found princi-
pally in the counties Of Jefferson, Washing
ton, Franklin, Cooper and Usage, and
Is mined and shipped broadcast
all over the country at the rate of
thousands of tons year. Although there
are hundreds OF mines in operation the
supply is always less than the demand.
Several large firms in st. Louis handle
nothing else, and have become immensely
wealthy within the last few years. A
strange feature about the nefarious busi-
ness is that very few of the miners know
the real use to which the mineral Is put.
1t passes through several hands before it
reaches tile consumer, which is the people
themselves. After being taken out Of the
earth it Is broken up and pulverized into a
fine powder so as to resemble flour or
white lead. 1t is mixed with many articles
of food, such as granulated sugar, powdered
sugar, and is also extensively used in adul-
terating white lead, which is the basis of
mineral paints. That is the principal
reason the paints turn yellow much sooner
nowadays than in former years. 1t is
