The plant belongs to the lily family

as Zygadenus %paniculatus (Watson.)
1t has received the names, wild Sc.

monty known when found as death
CANVASS" and "hog's potato" The
various species Of the genus Zygadenus
are mainly Western in their distribu-
ton and range from the southern to the
northern limits Of the country and
westward to the Pacific. The particu-
lar species under consideration seems
to have a more limited distribution,
being confined TO parts Of Nevada, Cal.
ifornia and Utah. This plant is most
common in the foothill regions, but
sometimes occurs on the wild lands in
the vicinity Of the hills. Both the hard
and rocky and the sandy soils seem
favorable to the plants existence.
Popularity described, the plant isdeep-
rooted bearing a coated bulb six or
more inches below the surface of the
ground. Below the bulbs is a black
ened stem which has sent forth plants
on previous years. This is but a half
inch o. more in length and diameter.
and produces from its crown a few liv-
ing roots. Along its side numerous
dead roots occur. The blackened leaves
OF the bulb and stem OF the last years
plant are usually found partially or
wholly surrounding the underground
portion Of the younger plant. The
plant appears above ground very early,
the young leaves increasing in length
during March and April. By this time
the leaves are eight to ten inches long,
gracefully curving outward from the
centre Of the plant and so folded along
the middle that a cross section gives
the appearance OF the letter v. In
May a single flower stalk shoots up.
The flowers OF the cluster are small,
cream colored and are arranged about
the central stalk for a distance OF six
or eight inches. Some of the lower
branches bear several flowers. An In
dividual flower is shown much en-
larged at the right Of the plant in the
figure.
Acase OF poisoning, the result OF eat
ing bulbs Of the plant, occurred recent
ly at the Indian school at Carson.
Seven patients, two of whom were
adults, were affected. The symptoms
presented, for which the writer is in
debted to DIR. S. l.. Lee Of Carson, were
as follows: Nausea, headache, followed
by more or less stupor, this more COM

pulsations were reduced8S ~forty-eight

dren these ranged from.5kfy TO sixiy-
four per minute. The Inspirations
were almost normal, and-the pupils
were unaffected. In tyentg-four hours
all seemed to have recovered. The
similarity between this plant and some
OF the wild onion and leek-like plants
permits il to be mistaken for these.

This happened in a little town in
southern Illinois not many days ago.
II is in a section where the Farmers
Alliance is strong and a lodge OF that
organization exists in the town. They
meet Monday nights.
There is only one lodge room in the
town, and on Tuesday nights it is DC
cupied by the local branch Of the
Knights Of Pythias.
The president of one of the country
sub-Alliances came to town on Tues
day. He had visited the town Alli-
ance, and when he saw lights in the
lodge room concluded he would 60
over and condole with the brethren
over the defeat OF Buchanan.
He gave the proper knock at the
outer door. The wicket was raised

dropped with a bang.

Ryan made Dawson'S hair fly up with
hard right as the round ended.

for him. Dawson rushed and forced
Ryan to the ropes, giving him two Il
rights, and then landed heavy right

followed and Ryan landed heavily with
his left, getting right as the round
closed.
Dawson was unquestionably less dis
treSSed at the end of the fight than was
Ryan, although Ryan had knocked
him down and had put his
left eye into mourning. 1t was
anybody's fight at the finish. and
both men seemed good for a long con-
test. Dawson is clever fighter, quick,
shifty and strong, and he is the best
man Ryan has ever gone against, al
though there seems to be no reason why
Ryan should be afraid to meet him. The
men are very evenly matched, and the
result of a finish fight is still something
to guess at. 1t was announced at the
ring side that the Crescent City Athletic
club, of New Orleans, had offered $1,000
for fight between the men, and that

REFUSED WATER.
Brazilian Officials Came Suffering
on a Steamer.

New YORK. April S.-Capt. A. Wild
dess. of the British steamship County
Down. has just sent to the
United States photographic Office
in this city the official re-
port of an occurrence which he
claims took place at the port of Per
nambuco. The captain says he put into
Pernambuco out of fresh water, but the
port authorities refused to let him land;
would not permit him to communicate
with any one on shore, and told him
to pick up his anchor and get
out to sea. Capt. Widdess says
that when he arrived at Pernam-
buco he signaled that he had no fresh
water aboard, aud the authorities an
swered back: None to be had. Pro-
coed to Ilha Grande." Thus. he says,
he was asked to steam 1,190 miles with
out a drop OF fresh water on board.
He served out the mineral water,
wine and beer, and proceeded to-
ward Ilha Grande, calling at Bahia,
where he was supplied with $500 gal
Ions of fresh water. The captain says
those on board suffered greatly before
arriving at Bahia. Capt. Widdess in
tends to complain to the British govern
ment against the action of the Brazilian
authorities at Pernambuco.

WILMINGTON, Del, April 9.-Presi-
dent Cleveland, Secretary Of State Ores
ham and United States Senator White,
of Louisiana, reached this city at 6:15
this evening by the Pennsylvania rail-
road. They were in Vice President
Thompson's private car, which was on
the rear of the regular Washington eX-
press. The party was met at the depot
by Ambassador Thomas Bayard, who
stepped on the rear platform Of the car
and greeted the guests. With him was
eX-Postmaster Robert II. Taylor. Three
or four thousand persons gathered
around the station, and, as the
distinguished guests alighted, the crowd
gave three cheers. The president took
Mr.. Bayard's arm and was followed by
Secretary Gresham and Senator White.
AS they passed along the space cleared
by the police the crowd cheered again
and many men raised their hats. Mr..
Cleveland smiled pleasantly and lifted
his hat in return. Ambassador Bayard's
family carriage. drawn by two hand
some chestnut bays with locked tails,
was about seventy feet from the car
and in five minutes
After the Train Had stopped
the party were on their way to Della
more Place, Mr.. Bayard's home. The
crowd gave them a parting cheer, and
Mr.. Cleveland raised his hat. Two men
grasped Mr.. Cleveland's hand, ana he
returned the greeting. When the party
arrived at the Bayard homestead. mile
west of the station, they found another
large crowd. Shortly after the arrival
dinner was served.
Mr.. Bayard did not extend any invita-
ton for callers tonight. and says tina
the visit was made on his suggestion, in
order to give the president a day of
rest and breath of fresh air. No plans
have been made for tomorrow. The
people of this city are much agitated
over the arrival of Mr.. Cleveland, as he
is the only president who shall have
ever remained in Wilmington over
night since the days of Washington.

WORLDS FAIR OPENING.
President Cleveland Will "Press
the Button"

CHICAGO. April S.-President Cleve-
land will touch off the worlds tair on
May in the presence of from 100000 to
10000 people. The plan to have the
opening exercises in small hall has
been abandoned, and the ceremonies
will be held at the east front
of the administration building.
There was considerable objection
to the massing of so large crowd III
one portion of the grounds to witness
the ceremonies, as it was feared that it
might ruin the lawns and flower gar
dens. but these were overcome by those
who formed an open air programme. A
substantial platform will be built just
in front of Administration building, so
that President Cleveland will only have
to step to the speakers table to touch
the button.
