The Dangers of Choral.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
The world of science has just been
startled by the sudden death Of Professor
Tyndall from ~chloral hydrate accidentally
administered, and the information has since
been given out that he was an occasional
user of the drug which caused his death
The wonder is that anyone who knew 50
much of chemistry, poisons, drugs ana
general medicine as did this distinguished
scientist should have been so careless or
weak as toshave pinned his faith on that
capricous article, especially as there are
several other better sleep-producers shat
possess the advantage of being perfectly
safe. Choral was flashed upon the medical
world by Iiebrecht just twentyfour years
ago., and careful prescribers long ago
learned TO distrust II, because less than an
ordinary medicinal dose has caused death.
The most eminent case / can recall was
that OF NAPOLEON ILL., who died of a dose
of it given when he did not need IL and did
not want to take il. Anyone VINO has near
or lung trouble or dyspepsia, or the tend
ency to weak blood vessels or fatty de-
generation common TO elderly people should
not take choral hydrate, even II recon-
mended by a physician. While a poWerlui
neurotic. it is capriciously treacherous, ana
by OVERRIDING the matter produces arrest or
imnortant nervous functions easily carry
ing over into death itself, the natural
sleep deepening into coma, with the reSpira-
zion and heart greatly depressed, even TO
complete failure of action, this erect being
by it's direct action on the nerve centerS
which govern those organs.

OFFICER WATTERSON BURIED.
A Detachment Of Police Attends-Mur-
der Still Mystery.

John Wattsrson, the murdered Merchant
policeman, was buried yesterday afternoon.
at $50 o'clock. The casket was taken from
the home of the dead officer TO the little
BlaCKford-street Church. An hour later the
remains were borne to the grave at Oak
Hill Cemetery. The services at the church
by the pastor were simple and Of brief dura-
ton. Hundreds of colored people were pres
ent and many whites who had known the
dead man. Police Captain Qugley, with a
platoon OF uniformed officers, escorted the
funeral procession to the cemetery The po-
lice were followed by nearly fifty of the
Merchant officers. Numerous floral offerings
Iay the casket during the services.
As yet there is absolutely no clew TO the
murderer. Not one moment since the 1nu-
tilated body of WattersOn was found in the
vacant lot ut the corner of Eighth and Ten
nessee streets have the efforts of Superin-
tendent Powell and his men relaxed. Night
and day they are working 10 but one end

clewS and theories innumerable, but none
has yet developed a tangible lead Yester-
day there startling rumor that
strange man. badly wounded. concealed
in the woods near Greensburg The police
have received no official information from
this source and do not attach much impor-
lance 70 the story.

INTERNAL MACHINES.
German Chief of Police Driven Mad
by the Orleans Bomb Incident.


L have received from an official source
particulars of an exciting scene of which
the police headquarters were on Dec. 3
last the witness. The, chief of police, Herr
Hans Grunau, formerly aid-de-camp OF the
Minister of War, sent orders to alarm both
the central brigades and the brigades of
reserve mounted and on foot. In addition
a, circular telegram was dispatched to all
the district officers warning them that an
attack on the police headquarters by an
immense band of Anarchists was expected
These were declared TO be assembled i'm
the Friedrchshain, a large park IN the out
skirts of the city. The fact that the mar
tyrs' Of the revolution of 1913 are here in
TERED makes ii the favorite rendezvous IF
Socialists and Anarchists
The situation was stated ty Herr Grunau
to be so serious that, he even thought Of
alarming the headquarters of the corps Of
guards, Inter den Linden, and the COM
man of the guard in II he Royal Castle
Richthofen, the President of Police.
Herr Grunau, however, drawing his sabre,
richshain. and at the same time sent a
squad of men to examine the vast cellars
of the headquarters with view to discov-
ering the French internal machines which
he declared was there concealed.
IT was then seen that the unfortunate Of
fcer. who was appointed three years ago
by the Emperor himself to his present
post, had become suddenly insane. The
recent anarchist terror had proved
too much for him. 1t had been his
the aid-de-camp of Chancellor Won Caprivi
regarding the supposed internal machine
discovered by that. officer. Major Won Eb-
meyer is possessed at present by a fixed
idea of possible Anarchist attempts and
the contagion spread TO his colleagues of
the police. Ut,
To put an end TO this unfortunate affair
the police president has given Herr Cru
nau leave of absence. AS a matter of fact,
no particulars of this dramatic affair a re-
suit Of that grotesque farce, the Orleanist
attentat, have yet become public. Herr
Grunau has been under the care of his
family in Brunswick for weeks.

CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN.
He Likes to Talk and to Walk While
Doing IL.
WASHINGTON Star.


Congressman Holman, Of Indiana, has an
original way Of giving out his interviews.
From his long experience and close obser-
walton, Holman has a fund of information
and a basis for forming an opinion on al
most any subject liable to come UP in Con-
gress. He is usually free in the expression
of his opinions and fond of lapsing into
"reminiscences. 1t is seldom that anything
happens that does not suggest 10 him some
thing that has happened long ago. and he
finds precedents and examples or practices
in contrary somewhere in his long career
for almost anything that can be brought
up. He is a rapid talker and not very dis
tinct in his enunciation and extremely
restless Withal, he never fails to be inter-
eSting.
There is probably not a newspaper man
alive who ever sat down with him and had
interviewed at his desk. No matter where
he is, If his views on some subject are
requested, he will begin at once to fidget
desk he will get up and before he has ut
tered three sentences he will begin walking
up and down, and II ne happens TO Ss IN
liberty of motion he will take the arm of
the interviewer and lead him off, where he
walk up and down IL in the committee
room he will invite the reporter to a seat,
and will walk all aroifnd the room while
talking, and the more interested he be-
comes in his subject the faster he will walk
His favorite place for giving an inter
view is in the lobby back of the Speakers
desk, when IS a long coTTluOT eACehulnS
from one side of the House to the other.
Formerly this lobby was closed to news
paper men during the sessions of the House,
and he has been known to leave the inter-
viewer at one door and walk clear through
to the other while talking, forgetting
that the scribe could not follow him An
accident of this sort is now obviated by
the admission of the press to this lobby,
and the Judges favorite custom is to
link his arm tightly into that of the in
terviewer and march him back and forth
as fast as he can walk. all the time pour
ing into the ear perfect stream of quaint
and interesting comment. At these times
he is entirely free from self-consciousness
but If, for an instance, he becomes aware
that he has been talking for a long time,
or suspects that he has talked too much
he will blush like a school girl who has
committed some inadvertence and will cut
the interview short in pure bashfulness
Holman seems 20 feel now that he is get
ting old and out OF date. but he is one Of
the most decidedly interesting men in Con-
gress, and as agreeable in his personal in
tercourse as one could desire to be.

KING LO BENGULA.
The Merry Old Monarch and His
Eighty BuxOm Queens.
Blackburn Times.


The members of the Colonial Institute as
sembled on Tuesday at Whitehall Rooms to
hear Mr. Archibald L. Colquhoun, the first
administrator OF Mashonaland, read paper
on Matabeleland. Mr.. Colquhoun gave an
interesting description OF King Lo Bengula.
''Lo GEOGRAPHICALLY The Defender and
the bearer of many grandioquent titles,
of Men and The Stabber OF the Sum- is
sixty years of age, suffers from gout and
is enormously fat and unwieldy in person,
wise kingly appearance. He is close upon
six feet. weighs nearly twenty stone, and
rarely takes physical exercise, although he
mas in his early days been active and pow
erful. He is man of extraordinary charac-
ter and ability. with great power of work.
The descriptions Of Lo Bensula's personal
appearance range between that Of most
truculent and bloodthirsty savage, with a
deadly cruel look in his eyes. and pleas
ant, mild-mannered old gentleman. With a
winning childlike smile. 1t Is probably wise
10 adopt neither of these extreme portraits.
His natural disposition is said by those who
know him well 10 be not cruel; bat the ex-
ercise of unrestrained despotic power, sur
rounded by intrigues, has led 10 indifference

cal OF the eighty others. Her massive form
on the occasion OF War Dance in 1890,
was partly clothed in a colored cotton sheet,
while from her waist hung a black goat
skin kilt. The head was encircled with a
