THREE HUNDRED POISONED

distressing Termination of . Lutheran
church Festival nj Tracy, Ind.-Upwards
OF Three Hundred Participants In n Re-
past Poisoned by Some Unknown Agency
Fortunately No Deaths Hxve Occurred.
LAPoRTE, Ind, Aug. 90 The strange
poisoning of 800 persons in attendance
at Lutheran church festival at Tracy
yesterday, cast a pail over the sacred
events OF the day. One thousand peo-
pie assembled at the little village to
pay religious reverence to a festival
day. Services were held in a large
grove, where hymns were sung and
prayers repeated.
At the conclusion of the morning
services, the people congregated about
the tables to partake of the bounteous
dinner which had been prepared. A
half hour later fully 500 persons, men,
women and children were suffering the
most ttr IDLE agony. Entire families
succumbed to the strange disorder.
Beds were hastily improvised and every
attention was given to the unfortu-
mates
The unusual scenes fastened the
termination of the religions rites, and
the congregation scattered TO their
homes, where physicians administered
to the wants of the sufferers. many of
whom were from this city. In a num-
Der of cases the symptoms of poison
ing did not develop until last night.
and to-day there were numerous addi-
tions to the list
The cause of the malady is not
known. The most accepted belief is
that the potatoes were either impreg-
mated with paris green. or were poi
soned by being cooked in a copper ket-
tie. There are others who believe
that the water was polluted with some
poisonous matter, and only a careful
Investigation will determine the true
cause OF the mysterious poisoning,
which fortunately viii not result in
death.
Physicians say tonight that all Will
probably recover.

DEATHS RED LIGHT.
It Was Waved at an Engineer, Betoken-
ing His Mothers Demise.

It Was Waved at an Engineer. Betoken-
ing His Mothers Demise.
''The most peculiar case ever heard
of" said telegraph operator, OCCUR
red in our family. My father was an
engineer on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, running into Richmond. One
night while quite distance from the
latter city and nearing his run he saw o
bright red light on the track several
hundred yards ahead. The signal was
also seen by his fireman and the front
brakeman. The train was at once stop
ped, but not trace Of the signalman or
light could be found, and the track was
all right. Father looked at his watch
and noted that tho time was s o'clock.
The train pulled out, proceeding eau
tiously for some distance without
meeting any obstruction. Several miles
farther the light was again seen.
Once more stopping another search was
made, with no more success than before.
This happened at 1928. Father was new
er superstitious, but this was inexplica-
BILE. Much mystified, he proceeded on
the way, only to be stopped a third time
by the red light at 1851 o'clock Anoth-
er search by the crew failed to disclose
the slightest trace of the mysterious sig
mailman. Finally, giving up the search,
the men returned to their posts, and the
train at last pulled up into Richmond
without further mishap.
"When father alighted from the cab,
o telegram was handed him announcing
the death of his mother. Without delay
he went to her home, which was sew
eral miles out of the city, on the rail-
road. Soon after his arrival he learned
that telegram had been sent to him
while he was out on duty, summoning
him to grandmother bedside. The
time at which father had seen the mys-
terious red lights was indelibly i'm
pressed on his memory, and he learned
upon inquiry that at precisely the min
ute at which the first red light was seen
she had asked if he had come. She then
repeated the question at the time he saw
the second light, and the appearance Of
the third light was simultaneous with
her death. Richmond Times.

Ancient Use of the Mace.

The ancient use of the mace intro
duces us to remarkable instance Of
ecclesiastical casuistry. The clergy was
forbidden to shed blood, and as thus the
sword was inhibited this might have
been thought sufficient to keep them
from the battlefield. But not SO; they
adopted the mace. Though they could
not cut mans throat, yet might they
break his head So Bishop Ohio, half
brother of William, fought alongside of
the conqueror at the bitter battle of
Hastings with great effect, the brothers
being, as you may say, "a pair of nut
crackers. Notes and Queries.

within the walls of his college certain
venerable fellow Of Cambridge univer-

little of the world, and he accepted an
invitation from an early pupil who was
entertaining large party in a great
country house At dinner he sat next
to the young lady of the house. Their
conversation fell upon baths, and she
happened to mention that she took a
shower bath every morning to invigorate
her system, adding, when he inquired
what shower bath was, that 1t resem-
bled very small round room; that the
bather took his or her stand in the GEN.
ter of it, and upon pulling string was
drenched by sudden flood Of water from
above.
Next morning the reoluse rose at his
usual hour-6 o. look-and being Of an
inquisitive temper thought it well to
explore carefully what he had never
seen before-a large country house. On
pulling open door he found himself at
the entrance of very small circular
apartment, one of those in which house
maids store away old brushes and house
hold articles past their work. In the
center of it stood plaster cast Of the
Venus of Medici The venerable man
recoiled, closed the door and walked in
the park till summoned by the breakfast
bell. He took his seat, and the host ask
ed whether he would have tea or coffee.
But he had reflected ON what good man.
ners imperatively required, and his an
swer was:
my lord, / can neither partake Of
tea nor coffee, nor any other rejection
until have first rendered my humblest
apologies to the interesting young lady
whom now see dispensing the choco-
late and ON whose sanitary additions
this morning as she stood in her shower
bath was SO unfortunate as unwilling
ly to intrude. !"

Down tho dear old lane where we always meet
With it's hedges tall and its grassy way,
Comes Ethel, blushing her lover to greet.
The bracken is tall and the wild rose sweet,
And the air is scented with new mown hay,
Down the dear old lane where we always meet.
In a simple frock, SO pretty and neat,
With face as fresh and fair as the day,
Comes Ethel, blushing, her lover to greet.
There's an old gray stone makes messy seat,
With bank behind, where butterflies stray,
Down the dear old lane where we always meet.
Daintily tripping on dainty, wee feet,
With an innocent haste that brooks no delay,
Comes Ethel, blushing, her lover to greet
There's q thrill that quiclrens my hearts quick
beat,
And fain would think twill ever be May.
Down the dear old lane where we always meet
Comes Ethel, blushing, her lover to greet.
