BOTH WILL DIE.
"Bull' Haggerty and bad Jimmy"
ConnortOn Fatally Wounded.

''Bull'' Haggerty and "Bad Jimmy
Connorton Fatally Wounded.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-During an excit-
ing encounter in a crowded restaurant
saloon tonight, two noted gamblers,
"Bull' Haggerty and bad jimmy
Connorton, each fatally shot the other.
The tragedy occurred in one of the
establishments owned by Ex-Chief OF
Police McGarigle, who acquired much
notoriety by his escape from the sheriff
during the famous Doodle trials. By a
singular coincidence Harry Varnell,
ex-warden of the insane asylum, who
was convicted of boodling at the same
trial, is associated with tonight's affray.
Haggerty and Connorton had prelimi-
nary alteration in Varnell's saloon, in
which Connorton was badly thrashed.
Meeting again in McGarigle's place, the
fight was renewed, when Connorton,
finding himself being worsted, sent a
bullet through Haggerty's stomach.
The wounded man drew revolver and
put shot into Haggerty's breast. The
physicians say both men will die.

How His Wife Induced Him to Give Up
the Habit of Smoking.
A young benedict in this city tells
good joke on himself which illustrates
the influence wife has over her hus-
band, provided she can reach his pocket
book. The young husband is in charge
of department of one of the larger re-
tail Main street stores, and before many
months hopes to become member OF
the firm. He is addicted to smoking, and
in moment of weakness confessed to his
wife that his cigars cost him one dollar a
day. ''Do you smoke ten-cent cigars?"
she asked. He replied in the afirma-
tive, and the young bride, who had ideas
of her own regarding economy, asked
him if he would not give her in the
evening when he returned home ten
cents for every cigar he had smoked
during the day for pin money. She ex-
planned that her idea was to break him
of smoking, and as he acknowledged
he wanted to quit, but did not have the
courage to do so, he readily consented to
the proposition.

DEATH IN CHLOROFORM.
Tho Most dangerous AnasthetIo Now
Employed bv Medical Men.

The MOST dangerous Anaesthetlo Now
EmPioyed bv Medical Men.
Acontrlbutor to the London Lancet
states that in the medical journals for
the last ten years there are reported 100
(if not more) cases of death under
chloroform. Many of these are very i'm
perfectly described, but in at least forty
nine cases the patients were in good
general health at the time of admins
tration, and required an anmsthetic
merely for the performance of some
minor. operation; 9. g., extraction OF
teeth (eleven cases of death), reduction
of dislocations mine cases), eye opera
lions, fistulB and so on. In some fifty
nine cases death occurred before the
commencement of the operation, and so
was clearly due to the chloroform alone.
In about twenty of the cases it is noted
that chloroform had been successfully
given on previous occasions, in one as
many as eight different times before the
fatal administration. 1t is evident from
the foregoing that chloroform is uncer-
tain in its action; that not only do peo-
pie die while under chloroform, but
also from it; frequently, too, even
when it is used by skillful hands.
OF course, it is possible to retort that
lit was not properly given," which may
be correct. This will not alter the fact
that these accidents prove chloroform
to be powerful agent, very difficult to
administer properly; indeed, so difficult
and dangerous that it is scarcely suita-
BILE for routine anBsthetic, when a
drug less powerful for evil can replace it.
The nauseous flavor and the sense of
suffocation from ether can be entirely
done away with by the use of nitrous
oxile, and its inhalation made more
agreeable than even that of chloroform,
while the patient quickly becomes un-
conscious without the struggling 80 COM
mon with chloroform. The writer goes
on to say: 81 have not yet found a sim
gle patient who has once inhaled ether
preceded by nitrous oxide complain Of
suffocation, or object to take it again on
the ground of its unpleasantnesss.
''The readiness with which chloroform
affects the heart, the smallness of IA
tai dose, and especially the ease and
suddenness with which such dose can
be inhaled, almost by couple of deep
inspirations, will make it's safe exhibit
ton always difficult task to invariably
accomplish. Having had many years.
experience. I have gradually come to
believe chloform to be less safe an@s-
thetic than ether"

Last night, my darling, as you slept

And to your little crib crept
And watched a space thereby;
Then. bending down, I kissed your brow
For, oh! I love you so
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
Some time, when, in a darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall see weary face
Calm in eternal sleep,
The speechless lips, the wrinkled brow.

But some time you shall know.
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here to might
See, O my darling! how my tears
Are falling as write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.

Think Twice Before Writing.

1t is always difficult to make people
appreciate the fact-which is certainly
fact-that things said in the black
and-white forcefulness and permanence
of a letter are far more effective than
they would have been If they had been
spoken. The writer meant them just as
he would have meant them had he said
them, and he does not in the least re-
fleet that, by the loss OF accent, look and
gesture, the thing he writes may be
widely different from the thing he would
have said. There have been countless
quarrels engendered by things written
in all innocence, and which would have
had no such effect had they been deliv-
cred by the living voice. People vent
their petulance in word, and easily COR
rect the impression by following it with
a smile of apology, glance that soft
ems, or word which modifies. All of
these things are, of course, wanting in
the case of letter. The words toll for
their worst, and in the absence of the
writer there is nothing to moderate the
annoyance to which they give rise.--
