STRANGE iLLSEss.
A Child Swallows Lye, Which Has "A
Peculiar Effect on the Stomnch.


Peculiar Effect on the Stomach.
A strange case of illness in this city
is that of Harry Lindsay, 4'years-old
son Of Adam Lindsay of No. 1919 Della
ware avenue. Some time ago the child
swallowed a pinch of I've, which was
being used about the house for cleans
ing purposes. Immediately the child
became i'll and DIR. Palmer was called
in. Tho physician attended to the
trouble. and the lad has sufficiently
recovered to be able to walk about. He
is unable to swallow anything owing
to the peculiar effect which the lye had
on the stomach, but in all other
respects he is well and apparently
happy.
Food is injected by medical process,
and it is thought the mouth may never
be serviceable to the child for the
reception of food. Nourishment is
taken into the mouth occasionally, but
il will not go down and has to be spit
out. The case is peculiar one, and
the matter Of sustaining life is a diff
cult task, but it is proving successful.
The child has fallen away considerably

HAS CLOSED ITS DOORS,
The Once Popular Francis
Murphy Reading-RoomS
Are DefunCt.
Founded by the Temperance
Apostle at the Close Of His
Last Campaign.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway, Sept. 20.
The public evidence of the grand work
done in this city nearly three years ago by
Francis Murphy and his wife exists no
longer. The Gospel Temperance Free
Reading-rooms were closed to-day for lack
of support, and although proof of the re-
suits of Murphy's campaign are found in
many quarters of the city the reading
room, on the founding of which Francis
Murphy prided himself, is no more.
When first opened the Francis Murphy
Reading-rooms were thronged all day and
night with the men who had been con-
verified fran incompetence. 1t was, for a
long while regular clubroom where en-
tertainments and games were carried on
under the auspices of prominent people.
Mrs. NJ. K. Blake through these years of
its establishment has been the most zeal
Gus worker, and was president of the board
of directors, who are: +. w. Playter,
Judge J. P. McElroy, Colonel George Bah
cock, DR.. II. J. Plom teaux, Mrs. M. K.
Blake, Mrs. Irene E. Gibson and a. S..
Bradley.
1.-The reading-rooms have not suspended
permanently, said Mrs. Blake to-day,
"only for few months, although it is the
first time in their three years existence
that we have ever closed the doors.
There are two reasons for doing this.
The first is that while the pleasant weather
lasts the men who made these rooms their
headquarters lave work mostly in the
country picking fruit. Another reason is
to allow us to catch up in our finances, in
which we have run behind and we are
striving to be on our feet again by winter
when the rooms are most needed for the
use and resort of laboring men and other
worthy persons"
When Francis Murphy left Oakland the
popular reading-room occupied one whole
floor at Seventh and Washington streets,
but the institution removed to a single
room on Clay street, and now that also is
closed
