SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.


The Terrible Agony Does not Prevent Its USE
No poison brings death with more
madening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does not seem to discourage
the suicide. The man Harrowitz,
who deliberately swallowed Il fatal
dose of the drug in New York
recently, is only one of the many
who have gone the ammonia route to
death in spite OF the excruciating
pain. DR.. Blyth has recorded thirty
cases Of ammonia poisoning in the
small London district of which he is
health officer; Professor Mitchell
mentions twenty two cases, and four
have occurred during the short time
DR.. Jenkins has been connected with
the corners Office in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from
ammonia are Of constant occurrence
among men who work in its manu-
facture, or even in decomposing
substances which give it off in con-
siderable quantities. Ammonia,
slowly and from day to day taken
into the system, causes the complex
ion to loose its freshness, and the
skin of men who get heavily i'm
pregnatcd with it has disgreeable
blotched and discolorcd appearance.
Taken into the stomach from day
to day in even the small quantitics
used to aduIteratc food, such as
baking powder, it not only Injuries
the complexion but attacks the lin
inc of the stomach, and is the source
of much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase in TIN
use of ammonia for various purposes
and the consequent increase in 1t
manufacture, have made it one of tn
most easily obtained poisons and
although everybody is familiar wit
itin some form, there is Il surprisin
amount of ignorance of its danger
GUS qualities. Its use as a
adulterant in any food preparatio
is simply a crime, and as a Grim
should be punished.

ROYAL FAVORITlSM.

BERLIN. Jan. 22.-In the Prussian house
Of representatives today Herr hlchDer
raised discussion as to the remission OF
stamp dues upon the deeds OF entail ex-
ecuted by Baron I.ucius Won BaIlhausen,
formerly at the head of the ministry OF
agriculture. He charges the ministers
with taking unfair advantage OF their
official posiSions. Finally he made a
motion that the government inform the
house why these dues were remitted.
Herr Miguel, minister Of finance, replied
for the government, and in a pointed
speech said that there could be no possible
doubt that the right of the crown to remit
fees was absolutely unassailable. In the
case of Baron Lucius Won Ballhausen only
the minister of finance and the minister of
Justice, Dr. Won Schellendorf, had any
thing to do with the matter under discus
sion, The question of the remission of the
stamp duties referred to had not been the
subject of resolution acted upon by the
whole cabinet. The fees amounted to
only 90 600 marks, and this amount had
been remitted in accordance with the ex-
press wish of the late Emperor Frederick,
during whose reign the affair occurred.
After some further discussion Herr
Richter's motion was defeated by large
majority, only his closest adherents,
known as the Richter circle" supporting 9
him.
Some time after the debate had been
closed and when the matter was actually
disposed of, it became known that Baron
Lucius Won Ballhausen, after he was IN
formed that the dues had been remltted,
handed the amount remitted to the en-
peror TO dispose of as he might think best.

the waist in narrow points. edged with
feathers, but not standing up too high.
The t.ck was cut as jacket, and to the
edge OF the side pieces square flap pockets
were sewn, trimmed with feather tasSels.
Fashionable cloth jackets are likely to
be long. A good example had military
braidings across the front, fastened with
cross cords and barrel buttons, but the
sides were lined with musquash, which has
all the appearance of sealskin, at half the
cost, and if desired could be thrown open,
showing the revers OF the fur.
In Paris short, straight cloaks are worn,
while English women show fancy for
long. loose mantles, made with box plaits
at the back, starting from the shoulder
seams and drawn in at the waist with a
belt.
Our cut presents three-quarters length
jacket in silk, with brocaded "frise" velvet
sleeves. The trimmings consist of ostrich
feathers and dull silk Psssementerie; also
a mantle in black and gold matelasse and
velours, with yoke and long fronts,
trimmed with psssementerie and chenille
fringe.
Long cloaks designed for carriage wear
are extremely handsome. A conspicuous
feature of AL of them is the profusion of
feather trimming A particularly elegant
long cloak recently designed is in dove col
ored corduroy cloth, trimmed with jeweled
gold gallon; the high collar and fronts are
edged with peacock and heliotrope feather
trimming; the lining Is quilted in flowered
silk Another cloak shows a very high
collar of velvet, edged with ostrich feather
tips and bordered down the front and
sleeves with feather trimming.

CHICAGO, Jan. cav. /. Buchanan,
chief of the department of agriculture OF
the worlds fair, returned today from
Washington, where he has been in confer
ence with Secretary Rusk and Chairman
Willis, of the general board.
"These gentlemen" said he ARE taking
great interest in the department of agri-
culture. In fact the same is true OF those
of kindred nature, such as forestry,
viticulture and horticulture They be-
lieye these departments are IN the
line of the government The board holds
sessions every week, and it has already
mapping ont an interesting and most com
plete system of classification. The board
intends to ask for an appropriation OF
$3.50, 900. which is TO be expended in get
ting matters in share, not exactly for a
display as would be given by corpora
tion, but as the perpetuation OF the ideas by
which the governments are managed.
Something original is demanded. The
subject of irrigation will be exploited on a
two acre fiat The fora of desert spot
will be shown, and beside it the abundance
of the same soil under the treatment of
careful irrigation.

up with discussing political questions.
