Editor Western Tobacco Journal:
NEW YORK, Nov 22.-In the issue of
Tobacco, dated November II, appears
the editorial "a brief Review of an In
portant Case" While l do not propose
to be drawn into a newspaper contro-
versy, do desire to correct some of the
errors of the article. Had the author of
that article read my bill of complaint he
would not have concluded that | had for

1885, as the release he refers to was fully
set up in said bill of complaint. The
fact is land it is clearly proven by the
testimony in the case) that at the time |
sold out and gave this release, on the
10Th day of September, 1895, l had no
knowledge of the contract of June II,

There for Enjoyment.
A MEMORABLE THANKSGIVING EVE
People Who Come and GO-Brief Brevi-
ties of Interest to All Readers
of The Globe.

The hospitable home of MIR. and Mrs
T. Lambe, on Broadway, last night
presented a brilliant scene, it being the
occasion of gay assemblage of young
people bent on observing Thanksgiving
in way TO make it an event in the lives
of all present-a sort of green spot, as 1t
We're, in the memories of a half hundred
young men and maidens whose privilege
II was to be among the participants.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lambe, as model hosts,
threw open their house TO their guests,
and in gay conversation, with music and
diversions innumerable, the hours passed
all TOO rapidly for the revelers, who with
reluctant sdieux began to disperse only
when the lateness of the hour suggested
The propriety Of saying farewell.
In the course of the evening refresh
ments were served, and the programme
throughout was one which all enjoyed
and which will long be pleasantly re-
nembeged
Among those present were: Charlie

Telephones Again.

Persons using telephones,
should make sure of the correct
ness of the number to which they
wish to communicate. Ringing
up the wrong number sometimes
occasions great confusion, and
possibly may be the cause of un-
necessary ill-feeling between per-
sons.
An instance of that nature
happened in this city the other
day.
A married lady residing on
Beretania street was DESTROYS of
speaking to gentleman friend.
She went to the telephone and
called up number-(we with

answered, is that you so and

the gentleman at the other end,
whose name was very similar to
that of the person wanted. The

serious turn, the lady asked the

fenced Palmer. the murderer

Judge expressed a hope that no
morbid busybodies would strive
to penetrate with prying eyes
into the secrets OF the murderer's

to the prurient purveyors of
sensational details did not bear
immediate fruit; still. it has not

whole, the English press at least,
left Deeming in the condemned

narrow escape a few days ago.
Mr.. Gifard was out riding when
his horse bolted. The bit broke
and the horse continued its mad
career into the forest where the
rider was knocked off through a
collision with a branch, and be-
ing unable to get his foot out of
the stirrup was dragged along
the ground. Fortunately the girth
broke through the horse attempt
ing to jump over a log, and Mr..
Giffard was saved. We are glad
to state that besides a severe
shaking up she young gentleman
received no serious injuries.

NONE LIKE NELL.

Psyehologically, of course, the
peculiar form Of iniquity which
prevailed in Neill will continue
for a long time to attract the
earnest attention of scientists.
I have been digging and delving
in old books during the past
week in the endeavor to ascertain
whether Neill, the seemingly
wanton and purposeless poisoner
the poisoner of poor girls for
the mere pleasure of the thing
has had any predecessors.
Hitherto my researches have
been unavailing; and in the long
and dismal chronicles of secret
poisoning in ancient Rome, in
medieval Italy, in Fran ce, and
in Spain, | have been unable to
find even a distant analogy of
Neill. The nearest approach to
the miscreant seems to have been
Sainte Croix, the accomplice of
the Infamous Marquise de Brin-
villiers, who learned the art of
poisoning while a prisoner in the
Bastille from a fellow captive, an
Italian named Exili.

THE POISONED PEACH.
On two very curious items in
Psychological lore l did, however,
chance to light. One may be
called the feat of poisoning by
sleight of hand You were ieal-
Gus of lady and. wished to kill
her. Well, you asked her to
lunch and you caused a very
nice peach to be served at des-
sert. You cut the fruit with a
golden knife, one side of the
blade of which was endued with
a deadly poison. You presented
the poisoned half of the peach
to the lady, who ate it with much
J relish, and then dropped down
dead. The wholesome half you
ate yourself and laughed in your
sleeve and went on slicing more
| peaches for ladies of whom YOU
were iealous-till you were found
out and got broken on the wheel.
Ay, there's the rub. What high
old times we might have, to be
sure. but for that plaguey con-
tigency of being found out
AKEY OF DEATH.
Another diabolically ingenious
trick of poisoning used to be
practised by a Roman Prince,
Sayelli. When he wished to get
rid of any one of his retainers he
used to give him a key, in the
centre of the handle of which
was a tiny imperceptible steel
point rubbed with sure poison.
The Prince would beg the fore
doomed gentleman to fetch him
a certain paper from a certain
cabinet. The lock of this cabinet
was somewhat stiff. and the gem
tleman was fain to press the KEY
over and over again into the lock
which at last was opened; only,
meanwhile, Prince Sayelli's ser.
vitor had scratched his hand
with the poisoned point, and
within twenty-four hours he was
a dead man. G. A. SALA

tempts at it, and charged Harvard's center
with the true Yale vim and determination
to win.
Again and again they assailed Harvard's
line and every time they made gains. The
crimson-coated giants on the other side rec
ognized In the ferocity of the onset that it
was now or never with the blue, but they
could not hold them, and in just ten min
utes Butterworth for Yale scored a touch
down and Hickok kicked the goal That
won the game, for Harvard was only able
to keep her opponents from adding to the
score during the remainder of the battle
During the first half Harvard Slade gains
amounting to 209 yards; Yale, 2sS H. yards
but of those 210 IL yards represented the
gain on high kicks with the wind.
In the second half Harvard gained 205
yards and Yale 2i7 1-2 yards. In this half
Harvard gained 10 yards by kicks and
Yale 81 yards by kicks. In the second half
Harvard gained . 2-5 yards on each rush
and Yale l-3 yards on each rush. Thus
the crimson can gain some consolation from
the fact that the offensive rushing OF Har-
ward was really superior to Yales in the
first half and not much inferior to Yale's in
the second. The fact is, Yale let Harvard
do the rushing in the first half and tire
themselves out and in the second while they
were themselves fresh from the brief rest,
concentrated all their strength In a supreme
effort and by strong, sharp work won the
game.

Torpedoes for the New York

Reports from the torpedo station at New

battery of Whitehead torpedoes for the
cruiser New York will be shipped to her at
the end of this week. AS this is the first
lot of Whitehead torpedoes to be issued TO
any vessel preparation is necessarily slow.
for several pieces of apparatus used in the
various departments of the work are re-
ceiVinG their first practical tests In the
filling OF the wa heads the turning down of
disks of wet guncotton on a lathe is a new
line Of work at the torpedo station, and one
that is not wholly safe, except in the ex-
ercise of great care. Progress therefore in
