Two judges have decided in favor of
the Tilden will and. two judges have de-
clared against it. The case will soon be
argued before the New York court Of
appeals, which will finally decide wheth-
er New York is to have the $4,000, 900
library or whether Tilden's great bequest
is to be absorbed by his nephews.
No man doubts that it was Mr.. Til
den's purpose and intention to found
great public library with his money.
He carefully executed a trust for that
purpose, and died in the belief that the
bequest was so well guarded that his
heirs could not have it set aside by any
quibble of the law And yet !. purpose

clared invalid by two judges, who inter-
pret law which is described as ''ths

NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Department Files His Report
for the Fiscal Year.

Assistant Secretary Busy, of the In
terror Department, has filed his report
for the fiscal year. The report reviews
the work of the board of pension APP
peals. 1t shows that January |, 1891,
there were 5,02S appeals pending before
the board, as against 5000 July /, 1891.
Mr.. Bussey points out several defects in
pension legislation, and makes num-
Der of recommendations looking to their
correction. He asks that Congress be
requested to enact law that shall ex-
pressly authorize the department to
treat all improper, illegal and excessive
payments of pensions, whether caused
by fraud or mistake, as payments to be
charged against the current pension,
with view to readjust or equal the cur
rent pension payments within the dis
cretion of the Secretary. He suggests
that in case of insane, idiotic or other
wise helpless children of deceased PEN
sioners, of pensionable age, the limit be
abolished, so as to admit such children
at any date to the pension ROLL He
also recommends that persons who
served in the Confederate army and
afterwards enlisted in the navy of the
United States be given the same PEN
sion accorded those who served the Con-
federate cause and then enlisted in the
army of the United States.
Under the authority of the act Of
Congress, approved September 2S, 1890,
the Director OF the Mint has prepared a
new design for silver coin, which has
been approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury The design is intended for
half dollars, quarters and dimes. On
the diverse face of the coin is female
head representative of liberty looking to
the right with an olive leaf and Ph9-
necian cap on the back of the head. On
the band, or fillet, over the front of the
head is the word Liberty" and over
the head at the top of the coin, "In God
We Trust" Around the medallion are
thirteen stars, and at the bottom the
date of coinage. On the reverse side
appears the seal of the United States,
as adopted in 1882, an eagle with open
wings. On the breast shield argent,
six pellets gules, chief azure. In his
dexter claw the eagle holds an olive
branch, representing peace, and in the
sinister claw sheaf of thirteen arrows
representing war. In his beak the eagle
holds q scroll containing "E Pluribus
Unum," entwined above and about the
head with thirteen stars, environed by
clouds. This will be the design of halves
and quarters. The dime on the diverse
side, in place of the stars, will have
Omitted States of America" SIN God
We Trust" will be omitted from the
dime. The reverse of the dime will be
the same as the present dime in use.
The reverse OF the half and quarter is a
return to the design of almost the first
| coinage Of the country.

AMMONIA AND SUICIDES.
One Of the Most Certain Agents for
Causing Death by Slow Poisoning.

I
Causing Death by Slow Poisoning.
OF the number OF those seeking sui
eide by swallowing some form Of poison,
/ probably there are few who have sought
| to kill themselves by means OF ammonia.
Nevertheless ammonia, although IL is the
active agent in most OF the salts sold to
women for their gilt decorated and per-
iumed scent bottles, is poisonous when
taken internally in a concentrated form.
To attest this there have been recently
in New York several cases, the most re-
cent being that OF Herman Harowltz, of
which Deputy Coroner jenkins said that
death took place in comparatively
short time after the ammonia was taken.
In another case, that'of child, DR.. Jen-
kins said death resulted in five minutes
after swallowing the ammonia solution.
There are on record also cases OF slow
poisoning from ammonia administered
with intent 10 commit murder. Further
more, the appearance OF wor kmen in
guano factories, where ammonia is set
free by grinding guano, has been noted,
and in every case there is an unmistak-
able system OF poisoning. This is dis
coloration OF the skin OF the face, which
assumes blotched, dirty appearance.
First to take on this appearance is the
skin OF the nose and forehead. Autop-
sizes OF those who die from ammnioa poi
soning reveal dark hue on the mucous
membrane lining the stomach and intes-
tines.
As an agent for causing death by slow
poisoning, ammonia is oneoi the most
certain and most difficult of detection,
owing to it's volatile nature. This quail
ity has led physicians to believe that
some OF the mysterious deaths that have
taken place in the history of modern and
medieval crime are due to ammonia. 1t
is known now that months have elapsed
between the first symptoms OF sickness
and the death OF person from ammonia
poisoning. On the other hand. death
has resulted in four minutes from the
time a large draught of ammonia has
been swallowed. 1t has been found in
cases OF gradual absorption OF ammonia
in the human system that there is gen.
eral elimination of healthy oxidation of
the blood and consequent lowering of
the bodily strength. In the cases of i'm
mediate poisoning, death comes with
frightful agony, as in the case of Haro-
witt. Blood gushed from his nose and
mouth.
Statistics in England put ammonia
thirteenth in frequency in the list of
poisons. Alexander Winter Blyth, med
ical officer OF health in the st. Maryle-
bone district, London, cites thirty cases
OF poisoning by ammonia swallowed for
the purpose OF committing suicide, or
administered with the purpose of COM
mitting murder, or absorbed unconscious
/ Ly in food. OF the suicidal cases six were
fatal. OF twenty accidental cases twelve
were fatal. Of cases of murder with
ammonia, DR.. Blyth notes two, both of
them children.-New York Sun.

Floating Prairie. of Loui.laaa.

A curious phenomenon is to be wit
deed, is one of the causes of the great
damage it has done Under any circum-
stances the water from this crevasse
would overflow the rich country lying be-
tween it and the gulf of Mexico, causing
damage to the amount of several million
dollars, but to the surprise OF many, not
content with running down stream and
overhowing the country below, it has
taken to running apparently up stream
Some curiosity was felt over this phe-
nomenon, and the case on examination
shows it to be due to the prairies trem-
blantes-the floating or trembling prai-
ries of southern Louisiana All along the
gulf coast the large border of land floats
on the surface of the water The land is
made by fallen timber and grasses. It
gradually accumulates dirt and becomes
in the course Of time sufficiently firm to
support brushes and even trees, but the
soil is only three inches or little less thick,
and below it is the water. upon which it
floats on account of its lightness. Occa-
sionally pieces of trembling prairie are
detached and become floating islands.
There are quite number of these in
Salvador, these lands, floating from side
to side. being frequently carried 1T .
rapid rate by the breeze, trees acting as
sails to catch the wind The current
from the Ames crevasse has carried these
floating islands down stream and torn a
number of others from the trembling
prairies, Cor st. Louis Globe Democrat.
