doings of the Chief Commissioner Of

found in his saohei in Chicago has been
discovered Gibson bought the different
constituents separately and mixed them
himself The stuff was made Of six parts
of bi-sulphate Of carbon and ninety-four
parts OF phosphorous- He purchased these
chemicals three weeks ago.
There Is no doubt that Gibson has left
the city, as he has not been seen since
Thursday and the members of the trust nc
longer deny that he has gone. They say
, that he has got out Of the way because he
WAS afraid that he would have to face ad
ditional charges, and that his bail would
be largely increased Detectives are here

from IS, 600 to about %, 600 In Great
Britain there are about 16, 900 in actual
membership, besides 5000 Others, who,
by the regular attendance of its meet
ngs, are practically identified with the
body. These %, 900 Friends live main
ly in England, where there are about
800 congregations The Calvinism Of

A Very Hungry .rsaohman.

Fin de steele in everything, Paris has
discovered that she is the proud possessor
of the very latest thing in cannibals-a
man who eats his own flesh. A police
man on duty on the Boulevard day or
two ago was astonished to see an itin-
Grant vender Of some commodity or
other deliberately and without apparent
suffering cut off long strip of the mus
cular part of his left arm with a pair OF
scissors. This eccentric individual, who
is only twenty years Of age and goes by
the name of Leon, was taken to the po-
lice station, whereit was discovared that
he had in a similar manner removed
large slices Of flesh from his thighs and
calves.
So far as could be CLEANED from the
poor fellows incoherent talk he hes for
six months past been under the influence
of a mad desire to eat the body of a
girl. He related how on many occasions
he had followed little children with an
open knife concealed in his hand, ready
TO cut off and devOur portion of their
flesh, and how he had Just, and only just,
control enough to prevent him from car
rying out his desire. His mania, how
ever, remained, and in order to satisfy
it be had recourse to his own limbs,
which are mutilated shockingly. This
extraordinary case of mental alteration
is being studied carefully by the medical
authorities at the Sainte Anne hospital.

J, G. Wiley, of Brooklyn, who had
been enjoying his outing in the vicinity

Mr., Wiley told IA reporter at the depot
that he was going home week before
his outing was over because he had a
little experience with rattles;,ake on
the Cohocton that had rather unnerved
him.
II was trout fishing Saturday." said
Mr., Wiley, and was wading down the
stream with tolerably good success
with the trout, when just ahead Of me
saw II snake swimming the creek. !

was, but reaching down in the water |
found good sized Hat stone and tossed
it at the snake. My aim was 80 good
that the stone struck the snake near or
on the head, and carrying it to the bot
tom with its weight pinned it there
The head was held tight beneath the
stone, but the tail and couple of feet
of the body were thrust above the sur
face, where they thrashed about furi-
ously, and discovered that the reptile
was rattlesnake,
Acting Oh the impulse of the mo-

to where the snakes noisy tail and
writhing body were lashing about in
the water, and seizing the tail jerked
the snake from beneath the stone, with
the intention of whipping it against a
tree that stood at the edge of the creek.
Although the snakes head had been
jammed down on the bottom by q
stone and held there for nearly min
ute the venomous and now furious rep
tile had plenty of life and no end of
malice left.
II had no sooner jerked his head from
under the stone and above the water
when he turned on me like a flash, shot
his head back and sunk his fangs in the
sleeve of my fishing coat just above the
wrist. If he had aimed half an inch
lower the curved iniectors of his venom
would have pnnctured my flesh, and l
would doubtless have been saved all of

What the Women Do and Say.

Sarah Bernhardt has again changed
the color of her hair. She is now q
pronounced brunette.
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison's oldest
daughter is brilliant performer on
the piano. She is now in Germany
under rare musical tuition.
Miss Olive Buchanan, United
States Deputy Marshal at St. Louis
is the only person of her sex now
holding position of that kind.
NJ. CabaEel, the French portrait
painter, says that Miss Maggie Mitch
ell, the daughter of the Oregon Sen
ator, is one of the most beautiful
women ever seen in Paris.
Young Mrs. Oscar Wilde is said
to be striking contrast with her hus-
band. She is very quiet, while he is
rather loud she is inclined to be COM
monplace, while he is brilliant in con-
versation.
At Mrs. Mackay's recent elaborate
reception, the first she has given in
her new London palace, the hostess
was dressed very plainly in pale am
Der satin, Drocaded in a floral design
She wore no jewels whatever.
When young Mrs. Blaine passed
through Chicago the other day it was
noticeable that she still had slight
limp. A local paper describes her as
having San exceptionally graceful
figure, high bred features and pro-
fusion of light hair. Her eyes, of
turquoise blue, are singularly beau
tifuI.
Mrs. Fremont and her daughter
are now in possession of the house
that was presented to them by a COM
mittee of Los Angeles ladies'. 1t is
pretty and comfortable cottage Of
the suburban style of architecture,
and cost, with the lot on which it
stands $4,000. There is still small
encumbrance Of about 500 on the
property.
