Is AduIteration Universal |?

Is Adulteration Universal?
 Speaking from experience of fifteen or twenty years, one medical man, at any rate, is able to say that he has not found his fellow-men of the business class half so black as they have been painted. Wines, which are so commonly ordered for sick people, are seldom or never the poisons they are said to be: unless they are pur- chased at poison prices. The poor, who cannot afford to pay for good wine and spirits, should leave things entirely alone if they cannot pro- cure them from charitable friends An old es- tablished wine merchant admitted to the writer quite recently that poisonous wines and spirits are undoubtedly manufactured but then they are manufactured because there is a demand for them on the part of people who cannot afford to pay for bonafide wines and spirits. Those per- sons who can pay for genuine articles are just as sure of getting them honest and good as they are of getting honest and capable medical prac- tice when they can offer honest and reasonable fees for it. Exactly the same may be said of teas coffees, cocoas beef juices, infants and in validS foods, and their makers. All these things can be and are obtained of the highest order of excellence by people who are able and willing to pay for them according to their market value.

 The polo game between the Meriden and New Haven teams at the rink last night was the toughest game ever witnessed in the local rink. The visitors resorted to all sorts of rough tactics in order to win the game, and it was mainly through their su- periority in rough tactics that the game was won by them. -Phelan relieved Woodtke in the fifth inning owing to the breaking of Woodtke's skates. About one thousand spectators were present, who greatly enjoyed the sport. The Hartford team will play at tho rink Friday evening. The score:

NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArCH.1
SCRANTON, Nov. 8.-The little village of
Nayaug. ten miles south of this city, along
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks, was thrown into excitement this
evening by the discovery of the dead body
of Eric Anderson, an aged Swede, in his
own house on the outskirts of the town.
Anderson had lived alone in that house for
10 years, and, it is supposed, accumulated
considerable property, which many held
was secreted about his premises.
For the past eight days Anderson has
been missed from the grocery store and the
country tavern he was in the habit of fire.
quenting. When friend called at his
house the door was found to be locked.
Then it was supposed that the old man had
chosen to absent himself from home for
some unaccountable reason.
Yesterday afternoon the cronies of An
derson grew alarmed and proposed to inves-
tlgate. One of them passed around to the
side of the house and peeped through win
dow into the living room. He was horrifed
to see the body of Anderson on the floor
with his CHASTITY face upturned Word of
this unexpected find spread through the vii
lage like wildfre, and the entire population
OF the town quickly collected.
All were too frightened to venture inside
the house, and word was sent to Coroner
Gardener. The message stated that there
were suspicious of foul play and that inves-
tieation was imperative No trains were
running, and as visit to Nayaug tonight
would make necessary a 2Omile drive over a
dangerous mountain road. the Coroner decid-
ed to postpone the Investigation until to-
morrow morning, when he will try to ascer-
tam whether or not Anderson was muir
dered for his hoardings.

PREPARING FOB A CHILE RECEPTION.
Navy Yard Forces Work Day and Night and

Navy Yard Forces Work Day and Night and
Sunday on Two Big Warships.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The Brooklyn
Navy Yard to-day presented an appearance
of activity witnessed for the first time since
the exciting times of the Rebellion. The
hum and din of busy workmen on the war
vessels Miantonomah and Atlanta dis
turbed the Sabbath stiffness. Workmen
have been busy night and day for the past
week in preparing the two vessels for
speedy service at sea. Yesterday the work
of preparation was continued, it being the
first Sunday since the late war that such
thing has occurred.
The navy yard authorities denied the
rumored sinking of the United States war
essel Baltimore at Valparaiso. 1t was
said that the officers and crew of the Balti-
more exercised the same vigilance as in war
times, and the torpedo nets about the vessel
would save her from sudden attack. The
unusual hustle and activity at the navy
yard is said not to be due to the reported
sinking of the Baltimore, but it is conceded
that the strained relations between this
country and Chile has caused the Govern
ment much anxiety to get all its war ves-
sells ready for any possible contingency.

SOME PLAIN TALK.
Paddy SIavin Says Some Pointed Words
About John l. Sullivan.

Paddy Slavin Says Some Pointed Words
About John l. Sullivan.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-TSpeciGL THE follow
ing letter has been received at the Police Ga
sette Office from Frank P. Slavin in regard to
his proposed match with John L. Sullivan:
'LoSDoN, Oct. 80
'T learn that John L, Sullivan has again
returned to America ana made statements
that he is willing to arrange match with
me for $4,000 side and the championship in
June. 1892 Why don't the American cham
pion put it off till 1895? He might just as
well, for do not believe Sullivan has any
idea of ever meeting me in the prize ring,
and don't believe he ever had any inten-
tion of doing So"
"Sullivan's last statement that he would
arrange match in June. to fight in the fall
of next wear, is only an other of his excuses
to make the public believe he is going to
fight when he is not. In November, 1892,
Sullivan will probably have another excuse,
perhaps that he has retired from the ring.
This excuse he made when l challenged him
in 1889, over two years ago.
The American public should be proud of
a champion like Sullivan. He wins the cham
pionship in 1882, don't fight again until 1888.
He fails TO defeat Charley Mitchell who was
not champion at the time, but had the re-
verse end of the argument.
"In 1889 he fights for the Police Guze6e
chamnionship belt and $40 900. and it ta lzes
him 20 rounds to defeat Jake Mlrain when
K L
side of ten rounds, and just when 1 expect
to arrange a match wi n Sullivan, after lit
ing nearly three years. he desires to post
pone the match for another year
81 in tend to make one more trip TO Amer
ica. and on my arrival he will either be COM
PEELED to arrange a match or make simself
look ridiculous in the eyes of the sporting
public.
81 want no favors, but fair play, and will
arrange n match for SO 600 side. the Police
Gazette belt, and agree to fight in the Cali
fornia Athletic Club or the Pacific Club for
the largest purse offered.
az Sullivan won't fight, l will meet any
pugiliSt who disputes my claim to the Police
Gazette championship belt, which hold and
intend to defend against all comers who will
put up slG00. / have been asked to go to
San Francisco TO meet CorDett in the Cali
fornia Athletic Club. or course, it would
only be n week or two of training and few
hard punches, for l should. no doubt, win,
but there is no glory to be guined by fighting
Corbett, and do not intend to allow him to
ma Ike the losers portion OF a purse after all
his gasconade. Sullivan is q great pugilist,
and he is the only barrier that stands be-
tween me and the championship of the
world. / would sooner allow him the credit
of defeating me-of course, l do not admit
that he can do so, but right the contrary
but 1 would sooner take chances of defeat
by Sullivan than bother with the pillow
