SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does Not Pre-
vent Its Use.

No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but
the fact does not seem TO discourage the
suicide. The man Harrowitz, who de-
liberately swallowed fatal dose of the
drug in New York recently, is only one
of the many who have gone the am
monia route to death, in spite of the eX
cruciating pain. DR.. Blyth has re-
corded thirty cases of ammonia poison
ing in the small London district of
which he is health officer; Professor
Mitchell mentions twenty-five cases,
and four have occurred during the
short time DR.. jenkins has been con-
nected with the coroner'S office in New
York.
Cases of slow poisoning from am
mOnia are of constant occurrence among
men who work in its manufacture, or
even in decompOsing substances which
give it off III considerable quantities.
Ammonia, slowly and from day to day
taken into the system, causes the com
pleXiOn to lose its freshness, and the
skin of men who get heavily impreg-
mated with it has a disagreeably
botched and discolored appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day to
day in even the small quantities used to
adulterate food, such as baking powder.
it not only Injuries the complexion but
attacks the lining of the stomach. and
is the source of much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase in the use
of ammonia for various purposes, and
the consequent increase in its manu-
facture, have made it one of the most
easily obtained pOisons: and. although
everybody is familiar with it in some
form, there is surprising amount of
ignorance of its dangerous qualities. Its
use as an adulterant i'll any food prepa-
ration is simply crime, and as crime
should be punished.

WINSTON AND DURANT.
What Their Conference of a Few
Days Ago Really Meant.

Some Republican papers have been
unduly exercised over the conference
said to have taken place in Minneapolis
few days ago, between Mayor p. B.
Winston, E. w. Durant and c. A.
Moody. One evening paper said it
meant "For governor. P. B. Winston"
Nothing could have been farther from
the truth. 1t was not even remotely
connected with the gOvernOrship. If
Mr.. Winston has gubernaiOrial aspira-
tons, he is keeping them to himself. In
fact, it is almost certain that Mr.. Wins
toms desires are more in the line of con-
greSSiOnal hOnOrS. But of that at an
other time.
Such a conference was held at the
NlcOllet house, Minneapolis, few days
ago. Both Mayor Winston and Mayor
Durant were there. The immediate OBJ
ject of their conference was the appoint
ment of the executive committee pro-
vided for by the convention of prOmi-
nent Democrats held in Minneapolis a
few weeks ago. As the most prominent
Democrat in Minneapolis. Mr.. Winston
was consulted as to the appointment of
the members of the committee from
Minneapolis. Just who were decided
upon is not known.
In connection with the appointment
of this committee comes a rumOr that
the membership of the committee may
be increased. 1t has been suggested
that Minneapolis and st. Paul be each
given place on the committee.
The general headquarters of this
new Democratic organization will prob
ably be Minneapolis. The Flour City is
becoming a prominent Democratic city.
Many of the men who occupy the posi-
tionS of leaders of this new movement
favor locating the head center of
Democracy in Minneapolis. How it will
end is uncertain.

An guidance numbering forty-six per-

lecture given last evening in the Hen
nepin Avenue NJ. E. chruch, by H. T.
Healing a colored orator, OH the subject
''The American JONAH" In explanation
it might be remarked that Jonah in this
instance means negro. Mr.. Healing is
an interesting and entertaining speaker
who holds the attention of his audience
throughout.
In the course of his address he re-
ferred to the condition of the negro dur
ing slavery times, when it was most all
work and no play for them, when their
aims and aspirations were strangled be-
fore they were born, and when to dance
a shuttle and cut was the small boys
Mecca where he generally arrived. The
scene of cOlOred prayer meeting, when
they were worked up 10 a pitch of re-
ligiouS enthusiasm, was admirably de-
scribed, as were many other features
and incidents peculiar to their lives 40
de war" At that time they were firm
believers in edestinatiOn. and no
amount of argument could change
them.
Now, however, it was different. Their
condition to-day was ole of transition
Many magazine writer's gave very er-
ronious idea of negro life in the South
bv gathering information while travel
ing in a Pullman car going at the rate
of forty miles an hour. They judged
the entire race on a few tour statements
of specific facts. The higher life of the
negro of the South, he said, was a sealed
book to the white people of both North
and South. AT present much was be-
ing done to educate the negro. The
Southern states had appropriated no
less than S40,000,O0 for that purpose
since the war, while s20,000,O00 had
been subscribed in the North. They
were also self-helping race
as last year our religious denominations
alone had raised over $4,000 for school
purposes. That they were an inventive
people was we'll shown by the records
at Washington. Prejudice was the
great hindeTances to the advancement
of the race. 1t was of two kinds-indi-
vi6uRl and conditional. Traditional
preference was where a nation pre-
ferred its own to any other. A prefer
ence to one without malice to the other.
Conditional prejudice arose on account
of the inequalities between men. In
conclusion, he said the home of the ne
gro was in the South, and would always
remain there as they would certainly
not emigrate.

Another Meeting of the Directors

There was not much business to come
up before the exposition directors at
their meeting yesterday morning. Man
ager Bracket suggested a number OF
slight changes in the construction OF
certain portions of the building, and re-
ported that he had engaged as press
agent Frank X. z. Woodward. The
committee on transportation reported
that they had decided OH the dates
Monday. Aug. 81, and Wednesday, Sept.
16, as the two days to be selected for Civ
ing a round-trip rate to Minneapolis and
return for one fare. These two days
for excursion rates will be in addition
to the week ending Sept. II, and every
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday dur
ing the running of the exposition. on
which dates the round trip rates will
be one and One-third fares. CanSidera-
bic routine business was transacted,

being painted by Clausen, the scenic
artist. The painting represents wide
eXpanse of cotton fields. On one side
of the plantation is a river on which
steamboat is seen loaded down with
cotton. In the foreground is the cotton
gin. which will be in working order
all of the time. There are at pres
ent in the building 10000 pounds of raw
cotton. which will be ginned. The cot
ton will be carried to the gin in baskets
by negroes. After the cotton has been
freed from the seeds it will be pressed
into tiny bales, which will be carried
away by the visitors as souvenirs. The
gin will arrive in few days and Will at
once be set up in place.
Local exhibitors are already getting
their property into the building, and

Business Of the Exposition Di-
Peetors--GenePal City
News.

Something has been said of the meet
ing of prominent Democrats in Chicago
this week and its bearing upon North
western politics. The statement has
also been made that at least three
prominent Minneapolis Democrats are
ID attendance there.
In the first place, so far as known, no
Democrat from Minneapolis is at that
meeting. In the second place,
the gentlemen there assembled, if
they are there as supposed, do not
compose strictly Democratic OrganiZa-
ton. 1t is Democratic i'll one sense
the men who are supposed to attend are
all Democrats in principle. They need
not necessarily be identified with De-
mOcracy. This gathering is composed of
members of the Tariff Reform league
and persons friendly to its aims. The
meeting was called by the Tariff Reform
league, of New York, an incorporated
body having for its object the dissent
nation of tariff reform ideas. In that 1t
is thoroughly Democratic and since the
plan of the Tariff Reform league is not
generally understood, a few words OF
explanation are not out of place.
1t proposes to secure perfect knowl-
edge OF the political complexion or
every city. county and state, every pO-
litical division, for that matter, in the
country. To secure this information
system similar 10 the taking of the cen
sus is proposed. 1t is understood that
agents, corresponding to census emu
merators, will learn his political
faith, either by personal inquiry or
careful investigation. If he be a dyed
in-the-wOol Republican. no further at
tention will be paid him. If he be
lifelong Democrat and likely to con-
tinue such, he will receive little atten-
ton. If he be waverer on either side
of the line, especially on the tariff
question, he will receive attention. He
will be made one of the pupils in the
school of political ideas. Literature,
tariff literature, will be supplied him
in abundance.
The Tariff Reform league proposes
that the Democrats of each state con-
tribute a certain amount of money for
putting this scheme into operation. If
the party will help pay the expenses.
the league will do the rest. just what
Will be done in Minnesota is as yet
matter of conjecture,

w. p. A. MEETING.
Harvest Excursions-The Kansas
City Sustained.

CHICAGO, July 90. = The Western
Passenger association met to-day in
special session and took final action on
the question of harvest excursion rates
for the season of 1891. The arrange
ments made were in conformity with
those of the Trans-Missouri lines, which
decided to give three such excursions,
the dates of which we're fixed for Aug.
25, Sept. 10 and 30. Tickets will
be sold at one and One-third fare
for the round trip. Another matter
before the meeting was a complaint
against the Chicago, st. Paul d Kansas
City road for transferring the baggage
of its through passengers from its own
station in Kansas City to the baggage
rooms of its Western connections free
of charge. The Maple Leaf has not yet
obtained an entrance to the union depot
at that point, and the free transfer of
baggage is device to place itself OH an
equality with its competitors. Chairman
Finleylruled that it was justified in so
doing, but some of the discontented
roads took all appeal from his decision.
