FIVE HUNDRED POISONED.
Disastrous Result of July Picnic in
NewvYork State.

Five hundred persons at Wappingers
Falls, n. Y, were poisoned at n Fourth
Of July picnic by eating ham sandwich
es, the most OF the ham having been
cooked in copper-bottomed kettle.
Three hundred of the afflicted ones suf-
fered severely and are not yet well, but
none have died. In every case, man and
child, the symptoms were alike-violent
cramps and spasms, nausea, burning
fever. The physicians found the meat
so thoroughly permeated with the poison
that if any one had eaten largely of 1t
the result would surely have been fatal.

Philadelphia is a little slow, but it has
made what seems to be practical plan
to take itself out of the ranks of cities
with the unenviable reputation of not
providing sufficient public school &C
commodations. 1t will do this, too,
without the erection of new buildings
and without other additional expense.
Indeed, the plan may prove to be an
economical one. Investigation disclos-
ed that while many schools were over
crowded, some of them to the extent of
adopting the half-time system, other
schools, often in the immediate vicin-
ity, had seats to spare. The rigid dis
tricting lines which brought about this
condition of affairs are to be made
flexible, and with this change it is ex-
pected to give each pupil seat, al
though some Of the children may have
to walk a little further to school. This
additional burden however. is to be
placed upon the older children, the pu-
pills in the higher grades. There is al
ways falling off in attendance as the
higher grades are reached, and 1t is
found that the highest class Of two or
more rooms may be consolidated with
out exceeding the maximum number al
lotted to one teacher. In this consoli-
dation comes the economy of the
change, as fewer teachers will be need
ed. The change takes place coincident-
ly with the appointment of officers to
enforce the compulsory education law,
the city narrowly escaping the enact
ment of the farce Of corralling truants
for whom no school room had been pro-
vided.
Possibly something like this might
work we'll in some other cities where
there is room at the top.

NO REST FOR ANYBODY,

There is no rest for the wicked and
there is just as much for the good. The
good have to keep pegging away in or
der to be good themselves, and do their
part toward making others good. This
being the case it behooves those who
call themselves the good in politics to
be eyerlastingly busy. Some Pennsyl-
vania Republican papers having ad-
vised that the people be given a rest
from politics for some months before
the next campaign Is begun the Phila-
delphia Press remarks: The managers,
or leaders, or bosses, or whatever best
designates them, never rest. They are
engaged in politics all the time, and
nothing suits them better than to have
the people take rest, for it is then
that they get the advantage Of the peo-
pie. Almost within a few weeks dele
gates to a convention for the nomina
ton Of candidate for governor will
be elected The political managers are
already setting up the GeleSdleS, anu
candidates are flooding a number of
counties with written appeals. II fit
candidates for the legislature are to be
nominated in the several districts the
people cannot afford to take rest from
politics. Some of the candidates will
be nominated within the next three
months, and in those districts where
nominations are not actually made
within that time the managers will
have the prospective candidates pretty
well fixed, unless the people have taken
the trouble to arrange for making the
nomination themselves.
True enough. Those who call them
selves the good in politics don't get up
early enough, stay up late enough, or
work hard enough while they are up.
So those who are called the bad in poll
tics take the cake. .

Orange Is accepted as e fashionable
shade for young women and proves
stunningly becoming to lot of them
Indeed, some women suddenly shine
forth in unexpected beauty of coloring
under the influence of yoke of orange,
mirror velvet. This is especially true
of the girl whose coloring is a little
coarse; the muddiness Of her read and
the dullness Of her white take on
clearness at once under the reflection
Of orange. Certain types Of white
blondes show delicate pink in their
cheeks and purity or whiteness in
the skin that no other color makes so
delicate as does orange, while the rus
set maiden Is a dream of vitality and
vivid coloring if you give her dash of
the same bright color. There are all
sorts of shades to choose from starting
with an almost butter yellow with a
tInge of red in it, to a deep burnt-crust
copper shade of yellow. The color COM
bines royalty with rich blue, is highly
effective with a yellowisn green Of the
chatreuse order and with either clear
white or plain black is charming.

LOSSES BY FIRE.

The destruction of property by
fire has always something of the pa
thetic about it, no matter how rich
the owner may be, or how little the
loss may affect him. Property is
but the accumulation of labor. A
house represents so many days hard
work, and its destruction is an abso-
lutte loss of so much of the worlds
labor. Such q loss as visited Pen
dleton yesterday is a calamity. The
accumulations made possible by the
energy, thrift, industry and fore
sight of an honest and honorable
man, have vanished IN an hour, $780,
900 IN value going up in smoke.
The mill Will probably be rebuilt,
and finer structure and more per-
feet plant may be put in its place,
but the patient years that Mr.. By
ers' has expended in pertecting his
plant and building up his business
cannot be restored to him. He
must commence again, In his old age,
as such men as he do commence,
and manfully, to repair as
best he can his injured fortunes.
Luckily he had insurance enough on
the plant to assist him materially in
re- building; but the loss is severe
