SERPENT POISON.
The Venom OF tho Cobra Is Deadly Al

most beyond Belief.
It was in tho autumn of 1891 that
Cnlmotto, whilo acting as director Of
tho archaeological institute of Saigon,
Cochin China, first commenced his cX-
poriments on the naturalization of ser
pent venom In the animal system. Io
had exceptional opportunities in tho
matter OF serpent venom whcrowith to
carry out his Investigations, innsmuoh
as band of cobrns had recently attacked
village in tho vicinity Of Bnc- Lieu,
and by order of the governor of tho dis
trict no Tower thnn 90 specimens of tho
terrible Naja tripudians, or cobra dc ca
polio, were forwarded in u barrel to tho
institute.
Forty of these reptiles arrived alive,
and several were at onco sacrificed to
secure their venom glands. Each gland,
resembling both in size and shape u
shellod almond, contains about 30 drops
Of venom, and in this transparent limp
id liquid is embodied II toxino of oxtraor-
binary strength, Az is woll known this
cobra il tho most dreaded of all serpents,
and II Is widely distributed over India,
Burma, Sumatrn, Java, Malacca and
Cochin China. Until Calmotto. however,
set to work to systematically study tho
nature of this reptiles venom, but littlo
precise or reliable information had boon
obtained ns to its character. 1t was, Of
course, necessary in tho first instance to
ascertain, within rs narrow limit M
possible, the exact degree Of toxic power
inherent in tho venom, and to deter
mine, II possible, tho precise dose lethal
in respect Of each variety of animal OK
perimonted upon.
A correct calculation Of tho quantity
OF venom required in every case was,
however. found to 90 quito impossible,

The real homo of tho peacock or pea
fowl Is in India. There they were and
arc hunted, and their flesh is used for
food, AS the birds live i'll tho same re-
gion rs tho tiger, peacock hunting is u
very dangerous sport, The long trim Of
the peacock is not its tail, us many sup
pose, but is composed of feathers which
grow out just above tho tail and are
called the tail coverts. Peacocks have
been known for many hundred years.
They are mentioned In tho Bible Job
mentions them, and they are mentioned,
too, in / Kings X. Hundreds Of years
ago in Rome many thousand peacocks
were killed for the great feasts which
the emperors made. The brains Of the
peacock were considered great treat.
and many had to be killed for single
feast. Nicholas.

To the Public.

At the last meeting of the City Fire.
mems Union. it was clearly shown that
the union had been placed in false
light by some rumors that had been
printed by the press of this city, and
that it had been used as tool to attack
the officials of the department, espe-
cially the chief.
In order to explain this more thor
oughly to the public of the city, there
has been an executive committee ap-
pointed by the union, to look after it's
welfare.
In the first place, the union did not
have any grievance against the chief or
any officials whatever. The grievance
which has been the cause of so much
comment and criticism of the officials of
the department was this; the time al
lowed the men for the privilege of leav-
ing quarters had been reduced in order
that the efficiency of the department
might not be impaired when the reduc-
ton in force took place. This reduc-
ton had been caused by request for a
ct in the expenses of the fire depart
ment and at the conferences held with
the chief, board of fire commissioners

during the last campaign, his

commented favorably upon by

Sheriff Sargent found it neces-
sary to dispense with their ser
vices. AS the reason for the
discharge of the officials was
not given there is naturally all
sorts of rumors afloat.

and several aldermen it was clearl!
shown that the cause of all the troub!t
was the fire department fund had beer
charged with expense items that SHOULD
not have been charged up to it.
We wish it understood by the public
| that it is our aim to conform to all rules
with due respect to the heads of the de-
partment, be as efficient in fire service
as possible, and as economical in care OF
all matters pertaining to our positions
etc.. and we ask that the citizens and
business men of the city render us their
assistance ia placing the fire depart
ment fund on a just basis whereby it
allow the employment of more men and
allow US a little more time with our
families.
We know that in these hard times it
is necessary to make any cuts in the ex.
penses of the city that can be made
without impairing the efficiency Of any
department, but we trust that more
prosperous times will come in tho near
future and we wish to remove all OBJ
stacles in the way of giving us our just
dues.
If any citizens doubt our efficiency in
the performance of our duties as fire.
men we would be pleased to have them
call and we will remove all doubt in our
ability to rank with any of the larger
cities.
In regard to the criticism of our chief
in his action of discharging union men,
the committee appointed to investigate
the cause of discharge of the two men,
bers ia June, made thorough investi-
cation and reported that neither while
performing any authorized action for
the union or any of their obligations to
the union fastened their discharge
from the department. The council
committee had been misinformed when
they reported that two men who had
taken an active part in our plea for
more time off had been discharged
lately. All members of the union are
sorry to see any of it's members dis
charged, but we place full confidence in
the management of the officials Of the
department and hope with the help and
respect due us of all citizens we will see
them back in the service again.

posed to the amendment and doubtful
about the original motion.
Mayor Truelsen took the floor and
argued Sin favor of settling this ques-
tion,'' Would rather pay s1,250,000 now
than 81 100000 in six months. Was sat-
isaed this was the lowest price that
could be obtained. He had no doubt
that this fight could be won in the
courts, but we need pure water now.
With this fight out of the way, the fin
ancial condition of the city would i'm
prove, and then the mayor went over
the conferences Of the previous weeks
and before he sat down had made Wig
orous speech in behalf of accepting the
terms.
But Alderman Jefferson had brought
his memory with him. He reminded
the mayor that two years ago he had
said that he could build this plant for
100000 clear from Lester Park to West
Duluth. He discussed the increase in
the interest rate, declared that the
present proposition was no better than
the previous one, observed that the
mayors talk had greatly changed, not

him IN dry clothing and Ialu him to
rest in her own bed. whence he lift
ed up his arms to embrace her.
Later in the evening she sat by
the fire when the latch was lifted
and the old clergyman came in. His
face was very grave. He walked up
to Matte and took her hand softly.
You muse put on your bonnet
and come with me, - he said. 1.-The
woman who was hurt today is dy-
ing. She wants to speak to you
ITO me?' said Matte. ooh, can
not go there!''
But something in her friend g
manner made her alter her mind
and go with him, with strange,
hopeful feeling at her heart.
She entered the house where her
married life had been spent and the
chamber that had been her own un-
falteringly, though her soul sick
ened, and there upon the bed she
saw the bold faced woman-bold and
handsome no more, but quivering
with death agony and the terror of
what lay beyond it-:a helpless, dis
figured mass of flesh and bone. But
she could speak yet, and she turned
her woeful eyes on Matte and said
piteously:
II am going to die. Have mercy
on me. Don't be cruel. I'm going
to die, and want to tell you some
thing. They say I'll die easier if I
do. And I'm sorry. You are good
woman-as good as I am bad. IL

tain was dying stole him, for the
property, all for that. 1t would help
me to have son. It is your boy.
l lied about his age It is your boy.
Let me swear to it,
And, with her hand upon the BIZ
BILE, the woman passed into eternity.
. Matte stood silent-awestruck
scarcely comprehending, bewildered
beyond thought-until the old
clergy man came to the bed and took
her hand.
'Forgive her if you can, Mrs. Wa
ters," he said, "even as you would
have God forgive you.'
And with the words and the name
Matte realized the truth and sank
upon her knees, crying, Frank
was true-Frank never deceived
me- and then, II have always felt
that it was my boy and not hers"
And SO it came to pass that Matte
Waters lived once more in her old
home with no cloud of shame upon
her life-happy in her boy and in
the hope of meeting Frank once
more in that land where severed
hearts are reunited and there is no
more SORROW, neither any death.

Sowing the Wind


One of the great theatrical sensations
of recent years was the appearance a

ton. It's treatment of a delicate social
problem was so daring that it almost
took ones breath away at first, but the
seriousness and honesty of its purpose
were so apparent that its audacity was
overlooked and it's wholesome moral
tone was admitted by all.
There is no more popular play on the
stage today and the people in this city
are so fortunate in having an opportun-
ity to witness it's production by one of
the best companies on the road. It will
be the bill at the Lyceum Monday,

CHARTER COMMISSION.
Will Net Interfere With Public
schOo1s-A Board of
Control.

The charter commission held
short session Tuesday even
ing. The principle discussion
was over the public schools and
the relation they should bear
to the city council. Nanifestly
it was the desire of q majority
of the commissioners to put
the school board in a subordin-
ate position to the council, at
least in 50 far as the tax levy
was concerned; but there is
another matter that worries a
part of the commission, and
that is the adoption of the re-
suits of their labor when they
have them completed. Conse-
quently it was decided to leave
all reference to the indepen-
dent school district of Duluth
out of the new charter. The
matter came up on resolution
by Mr.. Hopkins that a provis-
sion be inserted giving the
council veto power over the
action of the board of educa-
ton in making the assessment
for school purposes. The reso-
luton was lost by vote of 8 to
9. Another motion by Mr..
Congdon directing that all ref
erence to the schools be omit
ted from the charter, was car
ried by vote of I to 3.
The proposition to have the
county auditor collect city as
sessments was called up but
the committee of attorneys to
whom it had been previously
submitted were possessed Of
such diverse views that it was
recommitted to give them a
chance to agree.
The title relating to the libra
ny board was adopted substan-
tally as found in the tri-city
charter. 1t provides for nine
members, gives the board au-
thority to contract and pay
debts and provides that any
obligation against the board
shall be enforceable against the
city.
The title relating to the
treasury department differs
from the tri-city model in at
least one important particular.
It prohibits the drawing of or
ders on any specific fund unless
there is money therein to pay
the same. The bonded indebt-
edness is thoroughly handled,
and any bonds issued, it is
stipulated, must be first au-
thorized by the council and
shall not run longer than 80
Year,.
A provision was adopted pro-
viding for an innovation in the
form of a board of control, to
consist of the heads of all de-
partments, who shall hold a
monthly conference to consult
in relation to the welfare of the
city.
The powers of the council
will be discussed at the next
meeting.
