Anna Dickinson's Doctor still Claims

NEW York, April 29.-Miss Anna Dickin.
sop was sitting up in bed when reporter
called to-day: She seemed very tired and
her voice was hoarse:
When asked her plans she said they were
in the hands Of her manager. She did not
know what She was to do, but she would
prefer to give weekly lectures In this city
rather than travel and would prefer the
stage to either.
DIR. Seward, her physician. condemns the
newspapers for reporting Miss Dickinson's
lecture in such way as to make it appear
that she is insane. He stakes his lrofes-
sional reputation on the statement that she
is sane.
DR.. Seward said it was true that several
prominent men had tried to make Miss
Dickinson vie or mistress, and failing in
this had persistenuy traduced her. She
had documents to prove all she said.
Mr.. McGcachy. Miss Dickinsons mana
ger, sa u this afternoon that arrangements
had been made Tor Miss Dickinson to re-
nam in New York and give lecture every
Sunday evening The lectures will be con-
fined to political topics. Mr.. McGcachy
added that he intended to take Miss Dick
inson to Europe in June, and return in
time to open ia New York next season and
give dramatic readings. Possibly, upon her
return, she may rcappear as q dramatic
star.

POISONING CRAZE.
Numbers of Deaths in Denver
Thought to Have. Been Caused by

T. DENVER Col, April 2 This city al
present seems to be possessed of craze
prompting the taking of human life by
arsenical poisoning. Saturday the entire
country was hsrrifed by the mysterious
death o Mrs Barnaby OF Providence r. L..
which was caused by this means.
This has caused all Investigation as to- the
means of death OF several, and to-day it is
stated that no less than seven have died
within the last two months rom the deadly
drug
Sunday Annie Armstrong, domestic in
the family o! a prominent minister, died in
the most horrible agony, and an cxamina-
ti0n showed enough arsenic in her body to
kill six pcop:e. She was apparently con-
tented and the idea OF suicide is not cnteI-
tanned, and how she came to take the
poi, on is a mystery.
Young Harry Cheny employed in tho
printing houses here, died suddenly last
week, under the most peculiar circum-
stances and an analysis Of the viscera to-
day by DIR. Burr revealed enough arsenic to
kill .aRlily. No moro explanation can be
made of this case than that OF the Arm
strong girl.
A month ago Mr.. Harting his wife and
six children were taken violently i'll imme-
dlntely alter partaking of their dinner. The
physicians pronounced the case one oi
trichinosis, and despite their greatest ef
fOits the mother and four children died
within week and the remain
der of the family lived, but are
still very low. Since the Barnaby
sensation became public, physicians
exhumed the body Of one Of the Harting
children and made an analysis, finding q
sufficient quantity Of arsenic to cause death,
There con be no doubt the Others died rom
the same cause. Mrs. Hartings was but
thirty-two years old, had had eleven children
and did not enjoy the happiest of lives. 1t
is supposed she became dcspondent nd
tried to kill h.r ,ntlre amily.
Miss Armstrong was domestic in e
employ OF the Rev. Mr.. Hansen, the Swcd-
ism Lutheran minister of this place. Mr..
Hansen was seon this evening, and says
that it was impossible for the story to be
true. But Prot. IleddiEg. the chemist to
whom the viscera was taken, SAYS that,
while he has made no complete analysis,
he has made some experiments which in
dicate that her death was caused by ar
senical poisoning.

They Made Him Tired.

It's getting hard for plain man of
ordinary, everyday, practical tastes to
get on in the world now. When he
comes to the city and expects to see the
sights he is taken to picture galleries
and theatres with strong French plays in
progress and to bric-a-brac exhibitions.
A simple honest countryman was
taken to picture gallery and violent
and persistent effort made to entertain
him with subject he did not care
about. They showed him around the
gallery, they expatiated on the great
pictures, the superb art, and all that
sort of thing. He said nothing until
he reached a window which looked out
on the street. Then as horse-car
went rafting by, he turned YEARLY to
his artistic friend and said: ''What
kind of axle-grease do they use in this
?"-S0s Francisco Chronicle.

The Cost of Street Railways.

In view of the threatened infiic-
ton of more cable lines in Chicago
some tables of cost recently published
by the Electrical World are interesting.
From these it appears that the cost of
equipment for five-mile horse railway
is $9,400 per mile: for an electric road
of the same length, $3S, 200; for cable
road, $72, 800; and for gas-engine car
equipment, $500. The cost of run
ming the horse railway is $9.1 per
mile per year; electric road, 1860. 10;
cable road. SO, ,440.50; gas-engine road,
So, ,2O1.60. As regards cable traction, it
is calculated that, at the best, at least
rs per cent. of the entire amount of
power used is needed to simply run the
cable without any load; and if only
about 10 per cent of the entire energy
of the coal is used in making steam one
can readily see how extravagant such
a system must be.
