cured Their Drugs.
PTTsBURG, Pa, Dec. l4.-The story of the
selection of the poison alleged TO have been
used in the execution of the Homestead. plot,
was learned from an authoritative source
AS has been stated the design was not to
cause the death of any of the nonunion 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 enSued among the
conspirators as to the kind of poison TO be
used, and it was decided to consult a drug
gist, The conspirators represented that they
wanted TO disable pugiist so that he could
not win fight in which he was TO engage.
They were asked if they wanted the drug to
act quickly orotherwise, IL was stated that
they preferred something that would take
effect gradually, 50 as not To arouse snspi-
-Cions. The conspiratOrs were told that
preparation could be made that would gradu-
ally undermine the strength, and If persisted
in would knock the victim in three or four
days. The formulas of the preparation were
obtained, ans it is said, the ingredients
were found in the samples of coffee and soup
which we're analyzed BY the chemistsSi the
company at Braddock, Homestead and Da-

Anxious to Make Its Report.
The house rules committee has promised
the members of the Raum investigating
committee special order within Il day or
two for consideration in the house of the
report of the majority made at the last ses-
sion rs the result of its Investigation into
the management of the pension office. II is
expected that the order will enable the ma
ioritS to call up before the holidays their
resolutions recommending the dismissal of
Commissioner Raum. The republicans pre-
vented action on the rule during the last
session, and an attempt TO pass il az this
session IS very likely to provoke lively de-
bate.
A quorum of members failed TO appear at
todays meeting Of the house committee on
the Worlds fair Mt which Representative
DurborOw'S resolution for opening the fair
on Sunday was to have been considered. II
seems that some of the members desire to
hear arguments by persons interested in the
question of Sunday opening before orccom-
mcnding legislation on the subject, and il is
probable that such course win be taken by
the committee. Another meeting is to be
held ON Friday.
Involves Millions.
Next Friday probably the cascof Bardcn
against the Northern Pacific railway will be
1
| supreme court. This case is of special inn
| portancc, as it involves the question of the
| right of a railway to mineral lands within
! the limits of its grant The contention of the
| railroad company is that IL is entitled to all
such mineral lands, the mineral character of
| which was known at the date when the line
| of.ts road was definitely located. The gov
| ernment will maintain that all lands known
| to be mineral at the date of the issuance of
| the patent to the railway company are under
| the terms of the granting act, excepted.
| The decision in this case will be farreach-
| ing, as it will affect all railway grants pass
ing through mineral countries, and will in
| volve millions of dollars in value.
Secretary Charles Foster of the Treasury
| department was at the capitol today. He
saw Chairman Holman of the appropria tions
committee and Springer of the ways and
means committee and number of other
persons of prominence. He assured several
of them that there would certainly be an
| available balance of 1000 in the treas
| ulN at the close of the fiscal year
Arrangements have been made at the
Treasury department for the issuance from
the Philadelphia mint tomorrow of about
100000 in Columbian souvenir 50-cent
| pieces. The first shipments will be made tC
Chicago and New York simultaneously.

"Many mothers have ruined their bows

Don t make so much noise, Johnnie
Don't put your feet on the furniture,
Charlie"-"Don't leave the door open,
Willie" etc, Suppose we endure lit

back upon his boyish prattle and clat-
ter as the sweetest music of by-gone
years. Let us put into our family liv-
ing room, furniture for our comfort and
use, upon which Charities feet may rest.
Has Charlie 'foot-rest"-one of those
essentials to mans comfort? If not,
give him one-with mild suggestion
as to its use. If careless Willie leaves
the door open, suppose we close it; boys
will forget sometimes. | would not

thought and watchful care we may
throw round our boys home influence,
and give them heartfelt love of home

WHY HE MOURNS.
A Young Man Who Has Lost Faith In HU
mainly.


Among the mary acquaintance Of
the Growler residing up on the South
Side is a young man who is entitled to
Sa.growl becauseLhe is minus a pair of
light trousers, a figured white vest,
dress shirt, a white lawn tie and pair
of cuffs. His loss came about in this
wise: Not long ago he gave a whist
party at which refreshments were to be
served. In casting about for some one
to serve them he thought of the colored
youth who cid odd jobs about the
house, and he proceeded to question
him. Did he know any thing about
waiting on table? He did, as he had
once hustled dishes in some of the lead
ing hotels. Would he hustle dishes sin
gle-handed at the whist party? He
would-for the usual consideration.
And so he was engaged. The eventful
evening arrived and the colored youth
turned up. He spent the afternoon in
a desperate wrcstle with few tons of
coal and barrel and he hardly looked
in trim to serve the ice-cream and cake
to genteel whist party. The young
host took him in hand and effected a
great transformation. When the color
ed Servitor descended to the kitchen he
wore grin that reSembled two shelves
in a crockery store. His lavender trou-
-sers were trifle brief in the legs and
an inch or two in the waist, but the fig
ured white vest made amends for these
discrepancies and the expanse of shirt
front, topped by the lawn tie and sup
plemented by the cuffs, had produced a
very satisfactory waiter He acquitted
himself admirably, though inclined to
be little gallus with his tray, to the
imminent danger of fine china After
the festivities he was given place to
sleep and he departed at an early hour
the next morning. The young host
consulted the hired girl as to his where
abouts when he came down stairs.
"Shure he's gone, already, SIR" was
the reply to his query.
Did he leave any clothes?"
mo, he did not, sir; he wore them
away"
"What did he say?"
Gle grinned and said: The boys will
laugh when they see me in these"
And the colored servitor has not visit
ed the neighborhood since. If this
catches his eye and he will return the
buttons on the vest he may. keep the
rest of the outfit. The next darby the
young host dresses up will be padlocked
to his clothes with bicycle chain -

HIS ONE WORD,
Man Whose knowledge of French Was
Expensive.

Expensive.
"Therc is no use of talking" said the
whitc-haired man as he smoked his
cigar after dinner in an uptown restau-
rant; you can't make any one believe
for any length of time that you are bet
ter than you really are or that you
known more than you really do. You
may be able to deceive few persons
for short time, but you are the one
who will suffer in the end every time,
or at least ninety-nine times out of
every hundred. Like everything else,
no one will believe this until he has had
the experience, and | remember quite
distinctly the time paid for mine.
at was when was young man and
| was paying my first visit to the
French capital. Soon after arrived in
Paris ! went to barber shop to get
shaved. ] sat down in the chair and
the barber began his work. When, as
| supposed, he had about finished the
job he said something in French. Now
at that time thought, as most young
men of twenty do, that l knew about
all there was to be known. OF French
knew exactly one word-'Oui.' / was
determined that | would not show my
ignorance to this French barber, how
ever, SO every time he said anything to
me | answered 'Oui.'
"Wcll, as | say, after | supposed that
the job was finished the barber kept
saying something TO me occasionally,
and l kept answering 'Oui' for ten or
| fifteen minutes perhaps, and every time
he made a remark he opened fresh
bottle of some sort of perfume or other
and applied a portion of it to some part
of my head. Finally he finished and
took away the towels and aprons. Then
he wrapped up lot of bottles and gave
them to me with my check, which was
for sum equal in our money to five
| dollars. The condition of affairs flashed
across me, and | realized that | was
paying for all the fresh bottles of per-
| fume which the barber had opened. But
didn't say a word. | took my package
and went my way after paying the bill.
But it was lesson to me which | shall
never forget, and since that time | have
never tried to make any one believe
that knew more than / really did. 1t
may be embarrassing to acknowledge
your ignorance sometimes, but it is not
half so hard to do this dozen times as
it is to be caught once in assuming to
know more than you really do know. "
