Bay Sc. Louis mourns the death Of on'
Of her best citizens il tho porson OF Mr.
David Il. Taft, who quietly passed intC
eternity at his HRosodale1 home at ]
o'clock Tuesday morning. The intelli!
genee of the sad occurrence was received
with no little surprise as few were &C.
quainted with his brief illness of only
three days. Death was the result Of Ia
grippe contracted some few years ago,
but having caught cold on the Friday be-
fore the inevitable end, he relapsod.
David Il. Taft was born in Plymouth,
Michigan, on Feb. 9, 1880, 6l years ago,
and was remarkably actiye and had great
vitality for man of such years, especial
ly after having been the victim of the
dreaded grippe. He received his educa
tion at his native place and taughta class
when but young man. At the age of 81
he joined the Masons and until his death
was an active mcalber and in good stand
ing,
On March s. 1857, he married at Belle
iontaine, Ohio Miss Agnes Livingston, of
Leeds, England. Their union was u very
happy one and the fruition of four chill
dren of which three are Lying, Misses
Allie NJ, and 10 Taft and Mrs. w.
X. Cushman. OF Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Mrs, Cushman was teographed for but
reached here too late to see the dear de-
parted,
Mr.. Taft lived II yoars in Lansing.
Mich, where he was for FIVE years an Off
cial of the peace. His regular oecupa
tion was that Of bridge and house con.
tractor and surveyor.
About twoyears ago Mr.. Taft and fam
lily left theil homo in Lansing and moved
to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he es-
tablishcd.o one Of the finest and largest
hotels in that city. The hotel is now
leased but remains the property OF M.
Taft From Grand Rapids he family
moved in the early part of'93 to Gay st.
Louis, where they have made their home
and won the very highest regard and cs-
teen of ur very best elemo9t, and occu-
py an enviable position in society circles.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning aud was conducted with Masonic
honors. Tho local Masous and II number
Of them from thecoast towns attended in
full body. The funeral was an extra
large one-au evidence of the esteem and
sympathy accorded the family by the
large concourse Of people.

tends to the bcreayod widow and daugh-
tcrs its heartfelt sympatnies in their dark

Il GUILTY SPARROW.
The Hand of the Community Is
Against the Kniported Pest.

The English sparrow" is the only bird
that has been justly accused of all the
crimes In the calendar of which a bird
is capable and is the only bird in this
commonwealth that is at all seasons an
enemy to the farmer.
This sparrow should be shot or trapped
upon all possible occasions and Its eggs
and young destroyed whenever found.
But the utmost care should be taken
not to confound this species with our
native sparrows, which are highly bene-
fetal. Farmers will be obliged to pro-
tect their grain, fruit or poultry at
times from the attacks of birds. This
should be done as far as possible by
using means to drive away the i%ntruders
rather than to kill them.
There Is no doubt that the robin and
the cherry bird" pay a higher price to
the farmer for his fruit than he a get
in the open market, or that the owls
render services far more valuable to the
farmer than the few chickens they ON
sumo. Specialists such as poultrymen
or small fruit growers, may suffer un-
duly at times. but they are generally
fully capable of protecting their own
interests.
The general farmer will do well to
offer all possible protection to birds, for
In. so doing he will materially benefit

POISON ALMOST WHOLESOME

DR.. Calmette began his experiments
with the most powerful of the reptile
poisons, and made an analysis of the
venom of the cobra.
One of the most curious facts in SCI
ence is that two substances having al
most identically the same chemical COM
position can have effects so different
upon the human body as to represent
the best support of life on the one hand,
n the quickest termination of 1t on
the other. The albumen or white of an
egg and the poison of the cobra of India
are so nearly identical in composition
that it takes a very careful analysis to
detect the difference. Albumen, which
varies somewhat in its constitution, con
tains, according to standard analysis,
the following elements, in the varying
proportions named oxygen, q to %
parts; hydrogen, Z; nitrogen, Is to II;
carbon 81 to 81; and sulphur, 8 to 2.
Cobra venom, according to the standard
analysis, contains in its solid or toxic
elements, oxygen and sulphur, 21.33; car
bon, So; hydrogen, 7.05; and nitrogen,
IS. 20.
1t was long supposed that the fatal
principle of snake poison was an ami
NAL alkaloid, but late analyses lave
cause the abandonment of this idea. The
fact which for a long time placed cobra
poisoning beyond the reach of q remedy
was it's very similarity to albumen, 1t
being held that no specific which would
neutralize or destroy 1t could be pre-
vented from neutralizing and Destroying
the albumen of the blood as well. The
poison contains two distinct albumin
oids; one coagulable, and the other per-
sistently liquid in form. The latter is the
active and death producing principle,
and remains superior to a heat of one
hundred and eighty degrees Fahren-
Sheit, as well as to evaporation, the solid
result retaining all the deadly properties

Republican fzeeIcr Insults h Police
AN Easy Escape.

James Graham. a brother of Captain
Jack" was taken to the Second precinct
station house Saturday afternoon on sus-
picion of being a burglar. His arrest
was due TO his own stubbornness and
defiance of the police. He was seen
going from house to house in a suspicious
manner, n when approached by Police
men Sullivan and Barry refused to say
what he was doing. The policemen did
NOT know him. and when he became
excited and out hat it was none of
their damned business what he was do
ing he was arrested.
When taken before Captain Kelly he
was recognized. He was asked in a
courteous manner what he was doing
going from house to house. He refused
TO explain, but when told that he would
be put in a cell If he didn't he consented
to impart the information that he had
been engaged by the Republican County
Committee to verify the registry lists in
the old horseshoe"
Captain Kelly at once discharged him.
Chief Murphy was complained to, but
he expressed nc sympathy for Graham.
He declared that the officers did only
their duty in arresting Graham n HI
complimented them for their act.

E YORK PIRATES.
Not the Kind Flourishing Now
These Lsved I'm the XVII. Century.

The Nassau cleared hence for NADIA
gascar in July, 1898, with a loading of
strong liquors and gunpowder," and in
due course arrived at the port of st.
Mary's. Here she disposed of her put
ward cargo at handsome rates; took on
board for the return voyage a. cargo OF
East Indian goods and slaves; ana re-
ceiyed as passengers twenty-nlne pirates
homeWard bound for New York. Off
the coast of America she fell in with
some vessel that gave news OF Ine sea
change that had taken place In the New
York government-with the arrival OF
Lord Bellomont as Fletchers successor-
and therefore Handed fourteen OF her
passengers at Cape May" while the
others were put aboard of a sloop from
which they were put ashore on the east
end of Long land"- region where
pirates were most kindly entertained In
cam well out of their scrape; but the
luckless fourteen landed in New Jersey
were harried and ounde across c9un-
try by the authorities, and six OF them
were captured with their lading of stolen
goods aboard. Probably they were
hanged.
Precedent to his dismal ending OF
theih venture, under stress Of some sort,
thew made a fairly full confession OF
their piracies in East Indian waters, ana
mentioned the interesting fact that the
twenty-nine of them had paid for their
homeward passage in the Nassau !
most $4,000"

returns, it is not surprising that the rec
ord of Mr.. Stephen De Lancey's venture
ends with the Statement:-"The voyage

FIGHTING THE TROLLEY.
Hackensack Trying to Keep cut the
Electric Car.


The argument on a rule to show cause
why the Hackensack authorities should
not be restrained from interfering with
the Bergen Turnpike Company's work
of constructing a trolley road through
the streets of Hackensack was begun this
morning before Vice-Chancellor Pitney.
Some time g the turnpike company be-
gan the construction of an electric road
from Hoboken to Hackensack. While at
work Upon the streets of Hackensack its
men were arrested by the village author
tiles, whereupon the company, through
Dickinson. Thompson & McMaster, Sc
cured the rule to show cause
In opening the argument, Mr.. Dickin-
son set forth the laws under which the
company proposed to construct the road.
The original charter of 1902, he claimed,
give the company the fee simple to the
route 1t proposed to use for the electric
road from Hoboken to Hackensack. hen
he quoted the subsequent acts down to
the present lay, which give the COM
pany the right to take other property,
cart away earth, stone. etc., and build
an electric road.
Demarest & De BAUM, for the Town
ship Committee, claimed that the acts
of 1860 and 1869, under which the turn
pike company claimed some of the au-
thor1ty, were void, because the company
failed to comply with the requirements
of the law in paying an assessment levied
by the Legislature In 1858, and, in accord
ance with that act. the charter of the
proclamation of the Governor. 1t was
also claimed by Mr.. emares that the
company was given powers for a turn
pike road only. Moreover, the northern
portion of the road was now Main street,
Hackensack. The company abandoned
that portion of the road years ago, and
since that time the township had exer-
cised control over it. Therefore the
township authorities declare the COM
pany had no right to use hat street.
The argument was on at recess.
