A Dreadful and Perhaps Fatal Mistake

yesterday morning DR.. Isaac Pierce,
one Of our most prominent physicians, met
with q serious, and what may prove fatal
mistake. He had been to see patient
the night before, and on his return home
had prepared an anti-septic wash of coro-
sive sublmate, in OF. bottle. He had
been taking a tonic from bottle of the
same size, and both were placed side by
side on the mantel in his room. While he
was in bed little servant girl came into
the room, and he asked her to hand him
his medicine. She gave him the wrong
bottle. He took it from the bottle, and
realized at once the mistake Drs. Hall
and Gildersleeve were sent for, the stom-
ach pump was used, and all the usual an
tidotes employed DR.. Pierce Is still alive,
but it is thought he can't live through the
day. We trust he will rally and recover.

CABINET MEETING.
Foreign Affairs Do Not Figure in
the Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, July 23-The Cabi-
net meeting to-day was of short dura-
ton, and was attended by all of the
members save Secretary Sherman, who
left town this afternoon. Foreign af-
fairs did not figure at all in the pro-
ceedings, and the only matter of conse-
quence before the Cabinet was the
submission by Secretary Gage of a plan
for the establishment of supports of
entry in Alaska to collect revenues from
the goods being imported in large GUAM
titles into the Territory, as a result of
the great immigration of miners.
There was some talk about the cur
rency message, and it was decided that
it should be sent in only after the tariff
conference report has passed the Sem
ate.
The summer plans of the members of
the Cabinet have been roughly ar
ranged. Secretary Sherman will stay
on Long Island for several weeks. Sec
rotary Gage will probably remain here
in his home at Chevy Chase, a Wash
ington suburb. Secretary Long will
make a cruise on the Dolphin. Secre-
tary Alger, Attorney General MeKenna
and Postmaster General Gary will
spend some time with the President at
Lake Champlain, and Secretary Bliss
will go to New Jersey. Secretary Will
son alone has not yet formulated any
plans.

great steel companies there is little &C

creasing their output. The Illinois
company has sold basic steel for export
to Germany, a New York sale of hoops
for export to Manchester is announced,
and additional orders for Pennsylva-
MIA iron to England. BesSemer pig iron
