Died In ~ Bath Tub.

BUFFALO N. Y, Aug. 14.-Edwin j.
Chute, of Providence, R. l., travelling
agent for Packard & Brill, brush man
ufacturers of Boston, who has been in
Buffalo several days, was found dead in
the bath tub during the morning at IS
Swan street, where he was staying since
his arrival. He was subject to epileptic
fits and the supposition is that he was

OUT in York state the railroad con =
missioners occasionally remind the cor
porations that they are servants of the
public, and not merely of their stock
holders, in that they owe some conces-
sions in return for the valuable fran
chises they receive, including the right
to split a mans house in two or to seize
his land. The board has just ordered
the Erie trains to stop at a Broome
county crossroad for sixty days in order
to give the people there a chance to find
out whether they can have a station. II
they don't bring forward enough bust
ness to warrant station they needn't
complain if trains do not stop. That
sort of law is fair to both sides. 1t is
real justice.

CAPTAIN JOHN PALMER, the new grand
commander of the G. A. R., "has been
engaged in the fresco painting and dec
Grating business in Albany, N. Y, and
had the contract for all the decorating
on the new state capitol" "All the dec
Grating on the new state capitol" would
seem to include that celebrated ceiling
which, if we are to trust testimony Civ
en- at the investigation, elected Hill gov
ernor and Harrison president. This is a
point ON which more information would
be interesting, if not important.

Another Baseball Club in Trouble.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 14.-The Provi-

to go under. Manager Cheney received
a telegram from President White of the
Eastern Association last night announc-
ing that the league could not provide
funds to meet the pay roll of the club
The players decided to continue together
on the cooperative plan, but this is

POISON IVY PARASITES MAGNIFIED
; NEARLY A THOUSAND TIMES.
way from five to twenty feet high, pre-
senting five pairs of opposite leaves,
ending in one leaf1et. Though it is the
richest green in summer, in the autumn
it runs to crimson, garnet and even ma
room, one careful naturalist remarking
that it's sins are as red as it's own scar
let. l may say, however, that its colors
run more to crimson and purple than to
scarlet. One of our most careful OBJ
servers of natural history says that ION
careful examination it will be seen to
have a distinct, pert, mischievous, all
on-end look about it, caused by a pecul-
lar upward inclination of the leaflets -
However let me give some specific de-
scriptions by which anyone may be
able to distinguish between a poisonous
and harmless sumach. The hairy
trunk or bole is general feature of the
malignant variety, but there are two
other points which are unquestionable.
The leaves of the poison ivy as a rule are
grouped in threes, the fruit being of
blush or a greenish white, the flowers
invariably of greenish white, no matter
what the outline of the margins may be.
This malignant plant is known in most
country regions and the children avoid
it, for at a very early age they come to
know that they must not go near what
is called the ''three-leaved ivy" There
is, however, a three-leaved sumach re-
sembling the dangerous trifoil described
which is not harmful and it may be de-
termined from the fact that it bears red
berries which at their first appearance
are crimson but deepen down to garnet
towards winter. This is known as the
fragrant sumach, which is not common
but is used as other sumach berries are
to flavor sweet apples and other fruit
which are not pungent but aerid.
The five leaved ivy is shrub with
habits very similar to the dangerous one
described, is very often regarded as
poisonous, but it is really a wholesome
Virginia creeper or the Ampelopsis
quinque toliG otherwise the woodbine
Study the engraving and it will be i'm
possible not to know the plant when
you see it; but it is often the terror of
old and young folk and is avoided as a
pestilence. 1t is really one of the most
graceful and beautiful of American
climbers and is not unlike the grape
vines which smother fences and the
walls of buildings.

find themselves able to distinguish the

up the Parlor Match, but it is eyl-
IDENTIFY not too late in the day Tor the
Parlor Match" to fill all opera house,
even ii it has made the rounds OF
many season. Evans and Hoey may
congratulate themselves on the pos
session of one of the best OF Charles
Hovt's farce comedies; in fact it would
appear that they may play it with
financial profit to the end OF their
natural lives But it may be added
that Evans and Hoey are exceptional
" capable and clever comedians, and
Mr.. Corker and Old Hoss are two
typos Of the American citizen which
bloom and thrive under skillful treat
ment. Each Is distinctive, yet it
would he difficult to say which is the
i funniest The company Is well
adapted to the spirit of fun, and Is led,
a. to the feminine contigcnt, by the
sprightly Minnie French, who is some
thing more than the conventional
whole team as the Angel Child. The
music is bright and popular, the songs
catchy, and the singing voices good.
The taking incidental features are the
songs and dances OF the French sisters
the musical contributions of old 1ioss,
the Sappho screnade hy three sympho-
MES in tight lifting black, the military
drill of the Olympia quartettc, and no
end of operate selections and popular
chorlscs. The audience was all unll-
sually large one, and applauded and
laughed uproariously, which seemed
to stimulate both Evans and l1ocy to
their best work. Everybody is pre-
: pared to admit that the Parlor
Match" never grows old, and that the
boys are going to play to RECORD
beater this week.-Kansos City Times

Thurston County Institute.

At the normal institute Monday, al
ter the usual opening exercises, Prof.
A. c. Jones devoted an hour to a close
discussion of Welsh's system OF dia-
granting. Prof. Jones is thoroughly ia
miliar with this system and his in
struction has been OF great advantage
to many of the teachers.
Prof. B. w. Brintnall took up the
subject of arithmetic, discussing land
measurements, mensuration and dis
count.
The institute then adjourned until
| 80 p. NJ.
In the afternoon, Miss Janet Moore
gave half hour to instruction in the
marking and rules governing the use OF
all the novels.
Prof. Jones occupied some time with
Il talk on the nervous system.
Prof. Brintnall closed the days work
with very carefully prepared outline
of How to organize the term OF work
in district school"
In choosing a school, the Professor
, said teachers choice should be gov
erned by not only What good can ] dc
by teaching there % but What sope
can | get by teaching there ~ In civ
ing a general plan for the first day
work, he urged that every act OF the
! teacher should be prompt, systematic
and business like.
The thought was advanced that th'
mere development Of the intellect does
not make good citizen, but every
teacher should cndeavor to create II
every child good morals and manners
for the development Of genuine charac
