WEST CHESTER, June Y-ColOnel F. 9.
Horton, who was the leading counsel for
Blanche Woodward Young IN her drfen7a
OF the charge Of poisoning her husband
received a letter to-day from the iirn in
Grand Rapids, Mich, which manufactures
the enbalming fluid used by Undertaken
Williams They state that in the amount
Of the huid which Williams says lie put in
Yanngts body there are 2ni grains Of
arsenic, besides other metallic poisons.
The most important witness in the prose
eution was pr. formud, who said posi-
lively that Young had died of metallic
poisoning and that the poison was admin
istered before death, but had the case come
d trial the verdict would have depended
on the ability Of the prosecution to prove
this fact conclnsiyely.

fully endorses
Whatever criticisms may have been

We are not sufficiently familiar with
tomato culture to judge whether the
many Delaware growers Of this yege-
table have any use for the subioined,
which we clip from the Philadelphia
Record, hut they may be interested in

A remedy is said to have been discov-
cred not only for the disease which has
ruined so many French vineyards, but
also for the rot which is So severe on tie
potato and tomato crops. II consists of a
mixture of equal weights of sulphate OF
copper (bluestone) and lime; and is said
to be more etticacious when used as q
solution in water. NJ Thieupont, Of
Brussels, who has been experimenting
with u remedy for three years, gives il
as his opinion that ii is most efficient for
both preventing and arresting the disease;
and his conclusions have been confirmed
by experiments made in other countries
and with every imaginable variety Of soil.
The mixture, he suggests, should be APP
piled before the disease appears, and inthe
early morning when the dew is on the
plants. It should be repeated in from II
10 20 days The simplicity and easy appli-
cation Of this remedy should suggest a trial
of il by agriculturists. 1t has been IN use

made with it by the land commission Of

NEWARK, June Yesterday afternoon
town council sat as board of appeal to
near objections to the new town assess
mcnt which was recently made out The
assessment has for some time been on in
spection, and as there was a pretty uni.
form increase on property and poll taxes,
there was Of course much complaint from
those so affected The total assessment
fnots mp 10 over S51000O, or about Si0.000
more than before, and at the present tax
rate, rs cents On the 500 for town pur-
poses more money would be raised by
taxation than is necessary for the ex-
penses a. Appropriated for next year
For this reason council contemplates a
horizontal reduction Of 10 per centnm, al
though this action was wisely postponed
until after all the appeals had been l.eard
and passed upon. The number OF appeals
Yesterday did not come up to expectation,
Only about 80 neing heard and most OF
them on poll taxes.

The young lady that finds
her richest enjoyment in
dreary literature ought to turn
to the advertising columns of
our local papers. Living in
New England she is all I'M
aware Of the possibilities
which this rich eXpanse Of dis
NAL waste has for her. Maybe
some friend will tell her.
We write not for her but
for the quick wits Of danes

the praises-honest-of Glor-
iosa, eur Gloriosa. Hypoc-
risy is a tribute to virtue, imi-

thrice welcome all the diminu-
tives in Gloriosa The real
and original win by contrast,
and that is why all the Glor-
iosa roads lead to our coun-
tiers. When we first essayed
Gloriosa we thought only Of
one season or two, but we
builded beyond our thought
and now, in the fifth season or
sixth, they are more than ever
glorious. The blacks erstwhile

A Stable that Rivals that OF Wales
New York SUM-

A wealthy horse owner, who had been
all over the world, said a year ago that
the Vanderbilt stable at Madison avenue
and Fifty-second street was the largest
and handsomest equipped stable he had
ever seen, and eclipsed even the famous
stables of the Prince of Wales. This
stable is two stories in height, is built
Of brick and brown stone, and covers
four city lots. The exercising ring in
the northern side is covered with glass
dome, and is about fifty feet long and
forty feet wide. 1t has tanbark ring.
On the stone floor in the center rest the
sleigh, the light wagon and the buggy
that the railroad king used in his life
time. They have never been disturbed
since his death.
Mrs. w. RI. Vanderbilt and George
w. Vanderbilt, her son, use this splendid
stable now. 1t has dozen large stalls
finished In oak. One Of them was the
one that was reserved for Maud S when
the mare was Mr.. Vanderbilts property.
In the carriage room are five vehicles
that are gems Of carriage building art
Two are of American make and three of
French manufacture. The vehicles are
provided with the rubber cushioned tire,
to secure smooth riding. One, a high
spring, was built in Paris, and is reputed
to be the finest of its kind in the United
States.
In the hay loft that extends the entire
length of the building are stored light
wagons, skeleton wagons and other driv-
ing wagons

Ne was a Brave BOY.

lhoush companions
Some years ago, says the author of "Big
Game of North America" three children
who lives near Olympia, WASH, were re-
turning home from school, when Walter, the
eldest. boy of twelve, noticed what he
thought to be large yellow dog trotting in
the road behind them. They paid no atten-
ton to 1t, as large m0ngrel dogs of this color
abound everywhere In the vicinity of Indian
camps, but went playing leisurely along.
Suddenly the yOungster, a chubby chap OF
6. who was behind his brothers, came run
ming to the front, and moment later the
animal, seen now to be cougar, sprang over
the heads Of the two astonished boys, seized
the little fellow In his mouth, and with a
spring, vanished In the bushes.
The elder brother did not stop to deliber-
ate. He had for weapon only an empty
bottle, in which he had carried milk for his
dinner, and with this he rushed into the
bushes. His little brother was y ing pros
trate, grasping small tree with both hands,
and holding on with the strength of despair,
while the cougar. his tangs luckily Embedded
n,the child's clothing, was trying to break
his death-like grip.
With scream Walter threw himself on the
animal, beat 1t over the head with the bottle
until the glass was shattered into fragments,
and then, with the ragged edges Of the
bottles neck, he endeavored to cut out the
cougars eyes.
At last the cougar, with yell OF rage,
dropped his hold on the child and ran up a
ing his brother In his arms, carried him into
the road and fell fainting upon him.
Meanwhile, the other brother Lad fed
screaming up the road, and fortunately met
two men who had been chopping near by.
AS soon as he had told the cause of his
fright, they rushed on, to find the little hero
senseless, still tightly graspiDg tue neck Of
the broken bottle.
The cougars victim was too much h0rri-
fed to speak, but pointed to the savage beast
lying on a limb In full view. One of the men
had pistol, and with few shots the animal
was killed
