GOT FROM "A DRUGGIST.

How the Alleged Homestead Poi
son Was Procured.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 14.-The story of the
selection of the poison. alleged to have
been put in the Homestead mems tea
and coffee, was learned today from an
authoritative source. AS has been
stated, the design was not to cause
the death of any of the non-union men :,
but to produce such an epidemic of
sickness as to create a panic among
them and thus effect stampede from
the works. A prolonged discussion en-
sued among the conspiratOrS as to the
kind of poison to be used, and it was
finally decided to consult druggist.
The conSpiratorS represented that he
wanted to disable puglist, so that h
he could not WIN the fight in which he
was 10 engage. They were asked if they
wanted the drug to act Quickly or other
wise. 1t was stated that they pre-
terred something that would take
effect gradually, so as to not arouse
suspicion. The conspirators were told
that a certain preparation could be
made that would gradually undermine
the strength. and if persisted in would
knock the victim in three OF four days.
The formula of the preparation was OBJ
tanned, and it is said the ingredients
were found in the samples of coffee, tea
and soup which were analysed by the
chemists of the company at Braddock.
Homestead and Duquesne.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 14.-Robert
Beatty, the alleged Homestead conspira-
tor, was given in charge of Deputy
Sheriff Farrell. of Allegheny county,
Pa, today, who left with the prisoner
tonight for PittSburg.

SOTgE SAMPLE INCOMES

Ii we had an income tax, WILLIAM
WALDORF Aston would groan in the
spirit and suffer in the flesh from hay
ing to pay for the privilege of receiving
an income of 50, $4,000 annually. He
would lead the chorus of complaining
victims. Next would come JOHN ID.
ROCKEFELLER, with an income of S5,-
$4,000. MI ROCKEFELLER would
surely have right to consider himself
entitled to the worlds profound commits
Grafton. CORNELIUS VANDERBILT would
have to "shell out" as they say
In Kansas, on all income of 4,554, 900:
and WILLIE VANDERBILT on an in
come of S4,040,000. How sorry they
would feel for themselves. The GOULD
estate would labor under the disadyan-
tage of an income Of 81, 100000; Rus
SELL SAGE and JOHN d. BLAIR
would discover how expensive S., OOO,-
300 year is to them, and C..
p. HUNTINGTON would be driven
to consider whether he could afford two
such costly Iuxuries as a S1,5OO,0OO in
come and aprincely Son-in-law.
These are only few sample million
aire incomes. They foot up a total of
S35, 10000. An income tax of l per
cent would bring in 1851, 100 of reye-
nueS from these eight men alone.
1t is asserted that an income tax
would be inquisitorial and unjust. Per-
haps; but Oh paper iG figures out some
very engaging results.

LA BELLE FRANCE.

The elements Of tragedy, farce and
Observation-Disclosures meI0drama are curl
ousIy commingied in the present French
crisis. Although France has settled
habit of crisising, she has rarely done
the thing SO entertainingly.
There is in this crisis mysterious
poisoning case, with attempted body
stealing, to prevent an autopsy which
has. however. come off with due eclat
and elaboration.
That is the melodrama.
There is a great name-the greatest
in France, DE LESsEPs' own i gone
crashing down todisgrace and ignominy
with a reverberation that rolls around
the world.
That is the tragedy.
There is a ministry deposed and a
new ministry established, which, 10 and
behold is but the old ministry made
over, like my lady'S last winters bon
net.
That is the farce.
And in the background. picturesque,

monarchy or shadow of one that is ad

p. s.-BURN THIS LETTER.

Who that reads newspapers has not
learned of the truly good man, ELLIOTT
f. SHEPARD, with the military prefix
of colonel, who edits that orthodox
Republican paper, the New York Mail
and Express? To the average reader he
is known as an editor SO etfuSiyely pious
that he daily places at the head Of his
editorial columns, as a sort of prelm-
mary grace, quotation from the unre-
vised version of the Holy Scriptures. He
is profusely and professionally relig
ious. He is one of the strenuous OPP
ponents of the opening of the Column
bian exposition on Sundays because of
the awful sacriiegiousness of the act
and the demoraliZing effect it would
have on the poor, dear youth of the
land.
The GLOBE, in common with all con-
SENATORS of morality, is profoundly
shocked and deeply grieved that 1t
should develop that this man. whom the
fraternity has learned to look up to as
its one pre-emlnently yirtuous member,
fairly rock-buttressed in goodness, is as
peccable as any of the rest Of us poor,
weak mortals. When Col. SHEPARD
descends to bride an officer to give his
paper printing; no, worse; when he
tries to get a subordinate to do it. thus
doubling the sin, it shakes our faith III
human nature and drives our trust in
the professions Of men to the verge of
despair.
Try Them" he wrote to his ma mayer.
"They are weak, and yield easily" And

ing that advice to his subordinate, the
good colonel selected as a fitting text
for the next issue of his paper LEAD us

lily prayer and prayed deliver US from
evil" But being at Bar Harbor at that
time, in that state, writing such letter
and enclosing check for bride money,
how came it to be that the colonel omit

easy stages down the incline toward the

Manager Severance Has Some
Trouble with His Force -
Of Detectives.
Several Prominent Republic
ans Placed on the Black
List by Mistake. g
Costly Blunders for Which the
Youthful Director Offers
Apologies - T
Senator Washburn and His
Organ Join the Anti.
Davis Movement.

Although it is not generally known.
the youthful manager of Senator Davis
campaign has introduced several new
wrinkles In the art of politics. Chief of
the innovations is the employment of
detectives to shadow the gentlemen
who are supposed to be prominent in
the anti-DavIS movement. While there
is no doubt that these detectives bring
young Mr.. Severance great deal of
amusing and curious information, they
occasionally make some bad ''breakS."
Several of these have been costly. as
well as ridiculous. and the result of the
operation is that the members of the
legislature when they come to st. Paul
cannot be persuaded to talk.
Yesterday confusion reigned in the
Davis headquarters for some time over
a report that the leaders of the anti
Davis forces were gathering in the city
for conference. There was nothing in
the report, and the only possible fOunda-
ton for it was the arrival of several Re
publican legislators who have declined
TO commit themselves on the senatorial
contest. But an active HaWkshaw as
sured young Mr.. Severance that con-
ference was about to take place, and the
denials Of half-dozen members of the
legislature did not suffice to con-
vince the representative of Senator
Davis that there was nothing
in the rumor. The Republican legis'
latOrS whose presence caused this eX
element were not flattered by the at
tentionS they received, but had nothing
to say Oh the subject.
In Tuesday mornings issue of the
Pioneer Press appeared all article gen.
orally credited to +. B. Kellogg, in
which the results of weeks work by
several of the Davis detective force
were given the public, and, as usual,
the information was far from correct.
Two Of the gentlemen placed in the
anti-DaviS "cabai' had all along been
friends of Senator Davis, and one of the
two had gone out of his way
to silence opposition to Mr.. Davis.
Republicans felt flattered at their
treatment. This was also carried to
Manager Severance by one of the
seuthS, and he at once went to the
Merchants and made an AFFECT apology
for the iasinuation. He declared that
ne did not know of the article until he
saw it in the paper.
Il could not understand why Mr.. Sew
erance felt called upon TO make an apol-
ogy for something with which he mad
nothing to do" said this gentleman.
But the most amusing incident hap
pened day before yesterday, and con-
Germs prominent young member of the
lower house of the legislature. who has
been one Of the strongest supporters of
the senior senator. In some way one of
young MIR. Severance's detectives got
the impression that this gentleman was
on the other side, and carried it to his
master. The result was that the name
of the member went down upon the list
of those who will "bear watching."
And the detectives are still at work.

1.-THE WISDOM RELIGION"

intellectual curiosity, sympathetic GU
riosity, morbid curiosity drew to the
lecture of Mrs. BEsANT last evening, in
Unity church, enough men and women
to fill every seat and make necessary the
use of many chairs from the lecture
room. The intellectually curious came
to catch what could be only a glimpse
in an evenings talk of this new old re-
ligion, which has come to us from the
East, provoking inquiry and discussion
and demanding hearing. The sympa-
thetically curious, who had made cur
sorry jaunts little way into theosophy.
and had been impressed with its intrl-
cate philosophy, came to sit at the feet
of its high priestess. The morbidly Curl
Gus came to see and hear woman OF
remarkable experiences, whose char
acter ana mind are strong enough to
command the attention OF two CONT
nents; Of whom they had read much,
some of it derogatory, for the most part
commendatory.
The lecture could in its time limits be
but rapid sketch. Theosophy teaches
the development of the race from stone
to plant. from plant to animal man, re-
jecting the simian origin. When the
organism was developed came The un-
folding of the first sense, that of touch,
then the other senses as the race de-
veloped, until the five were reached.
We are now in the first stages of the
development Of the sixth sense, that
of thought projection; the power to
make the thought in us sensible
to the consciousness of another
at any distance and independent
of material .adjuncts. The seventh
sense, the spiritual intuitiveness, it re-
mains for future evolution to develop.
ment, theosophy teaches, can only be
accomplished by relncarnatlonS. The
character developed by the soul in one
life gives the direction in the next life,
in the new birth after what we call
death. Each individual is in this life
what he has been in numerous prior
lives. The end towards which we move
by these repeated stages is the attain
ment of the highest spirituality.
Mrs. BESANT has the qualifications for
her Office. To strong intellect she
unites clearneSS Of thought and state
ment, cogency of reasoning. fluepcy of
expression and that entire sincerity of
belief which only can inspire belief in
others. Fer broad English accent gives
pIquancy to her speech, while her voice
has strength almost masculine, the re-
suit, doubtless. of much speaking to large
audiences. While she may not have
made many converts TO her faith, she at
least gave her hearers plenty of food
for thought.

CLOSE TO WASHBURN.
The Minneapolis Journals Attack
on Senator Davis Significant.

Lne M1nncaDOilS journal AtCaCk
on Senator Davis Significant.
Last Sunday morning the GLOBE, in
speaking of the article on the senatorial
contest published in Saturdays Mime
apolis journal. expressed the opinion
that that article was very significant,
and portended the opposition of Sena-
tor WaShburn to the reelection of Sem
atOr Davis. This was evidently an early
uncOvering of the Journals position,
and so it printed three lame editorials
TO prove the contrary on Monday. But
all of these editorials were evaSive and
nOn-committal, and left several avenues
of escape.
The real fact of the matter is that the
Journal wants to ''pick winner" 1t is
not yet satisfied that Senator Davis will
be defeated, but just as soon as it IS the
attacks OH the senior senator will be re-
sumed. The Duluth News-Tribune saw
through the Journals position at once.
and Tuesday contained the following
editorial:
The Minneapolis Journal which, like all
papers of that city, is for Minneapolis men
first, last and all the time and may be fairly
considered an organ of the United States
senator who halls from that city. has a long
article and double-leaded editorial i'll its
Sunday morning issue, throwing doubt on
the reelection ex-senator Davis
The article is ingeniously worded, as if
written by a great friend of Davis but il is
carefully studied effort to encourage the eff
forts that Democrats are making 10 defeat
Mr.. Davis, and as such is tratorous TO him
and to the interests of the Republican party
IN the highest degree.
significant part of the article and com
ing from source SO near to Mr. Washburp,
is the following:
The difficulty that Senator Washburn has
in getting along with him is we'll known
Davis is accused of being stubborn, high
tempered, dictatorial, selfish and egotistlcal.
If he can get a measure through in Washing
ton without the support of Washburn he
does it. and the junior senator does not hear
of it until 1t comes TO him through the press
If he has to ask Washburns help he does it
in a disdainfu, insulting way, always leav-
ing the impression that he does it simply
because he has to.
