Now for q Charity Ball.

There was meeting Of the Ladies
Hospital Association, yesterday after
noon, and among others matters dis
cussed was the proposed entertainment
to be given for the benefit Of the Hos
pital. Since it became known that the
Ben Hur tableau entertainment had
been abandoned there has been several
new proposals from Mr.. Shearer, the
agent, but none of them appear inviting
financially.
A new project was brought up, and
one that would likely be very popular,
was the Charity Ball. In the larger cities
these events are looked upon as among
the choicest affairs of the season. So
would likely be here. There was talk
of giving this ball in the parlors OF the
Mcclure House, but no definite plans
were made. The Entertainment Com
mittee will meet again tomorrow even
ing.

POISON ON THE GRAPES.
SUPT. OF HEALTH CHAPLIN WARNS
AGAINST THEIR SALE.
The Concords which Come from the
Hudson River valley Have Copper
Encruststions which Might DO Harm,
Especially tn Children or Inyalids.

Superintendent of Health Chaplin is
wide awake.
Having seen in the papers that there was
complaint about the grapes grown in the
Hudson River valley in New York, on
account Of solution sprinkled on the
vines 20 destroy fungi, he started out
yesterday afternoon TO find out whether
there were any of the grapes in the local
market. He did not find them yesterday,
but this morning great many Concords
were found in open baskets packed in
crates which showed the green copper Of
the solution all over the stems.
DR.. Chaplin and his assistant visited all
the dealers and asked them not to sell the
grapes. Meanwhile Chemist Calder was
employed TO analyze the incrustations
found on some Of them. lie analysed for
Paris green, but did not find arsenic,
which is an element Of that poison. There
was not great deal OF copper, and 10 was
probably the Bordeaux mixture, which is
used in France and in this country, and is
recommended by the experiment stations
for destroying black rot.
IL is composed of sulphate of copper and
good deal Of carbonate of lime. It's use
is most effective on Concord grapes and is
not found Oh the other grapes, nor on Con-
cords grown in this State.
Dr. Chaplin says that as the amount of
copper is not very large there il no great
danger from IL, but does not think il best
10 allow the grapes 10 be sold, and the
wholesale ana retail dealers generally are
willing 10 stop handling grapes of that
sort from the Hudson Valley.
Adults would probably not be seriously
injured but children might In case the
dealers do not handle them the growers
will be obliged TO wash off the grapes,
which they can easily do at a slight cost
DR. Chaplin does not wish anyone TO stop
eating grapes, which he says are very
healthful fruit and there il no danger ex-
cept from those from the region named.
The copper on the stems Of the grapes may
easily be seen by anyone.

SUICIDE AT W00NS0CKET.
JOE ST. MICHEL, A CARPENTER,
SHOOTS HIMSELF.
The Deceased Leaves Wife and One
Child, and Was Doubtless suffering
From Temporary Insanity-No Other
Cause Could be Assigned.

The sharp crack Of n revolver rang out
on Willow street, Woonsocket, at 1880
o'clock this morning. A moment later a
bare-headed woman rushed from the house
on that street occupied by Joseph St.
Michel, "A rench-Canadian carpenter, and
hurried away soDbing.
A little knot Of neighbors gathered
about the place, and the number swelled
every minute, becoming throng when it
was known that st. Michel had committed
suicide. He had got up in the morning as
usual, but did not go TO work He seemed
silent, moody and distracted, but his wife
thought little of it, as he had been acting
queer of late. Before she realized what
he was doing he had shot himself through
the brain. The ball tore ghastly wound,
scattering blood and brains upon the floor
DIR. Baxter, the medical examiner, came
promptly but decided after questioning
those who knew st. Michel that his was a
case Of temporary insanity, and that an in
quest would be unnecessary.
st. Michel was only 30 years old and
leaves a widow and one child, not too well
provided for the struggle of life. Much
sympathy Is expressed for them in their
misfortune.
