HOPES IN THE SIXTH.

Even in the Sixth, where Repub-
lcan never was known to win there
are confident hopes of Republican vic
tory. because of Democratic disSen-
sions. Common Councilman John +.
Regan and p. F. Galpin as regular
Democrats are opposed for select and
common councilmen respectively by Sc
lect Councilman NJ. f. Clarke and
John Joyce. With all this strife i'm the
ranks of the enemy and the fact that
the Bellevue Heights district of the
ward is going to make a full showing
of it's strength, this time, the Republi-
can candidates, Edward James, jr., for
select and Charles +. House for COM
mon, have every reason to believe that
they will be elected. So fearful are the
Democrats that the Republicans will
carry the ward that the Democratic
city committee has made frequent,
though unsuccessful, efforts to get
Clarke and Joyce to pull out of the
field. Mr.. Clarke communicated to The
Tribune last night a request that de-
nial be made of the rumor that he had
withdrawn from the fight.
Fred Durr the present Republican
selectman from the Eighth, is being
opposed for reelection by Thomas c..
Melvin. proprietor of the st. Charles.
Mr.. Durr has a record of never hav-
ing been defeated and will unquestion-
ably keep his record unbroken in Tues
days fight. 1t would, however. be a
disregard of the truth to say that he
does not count on a lively contest f.
W. Zizelmann, the Republican candi-
date for common councilman, went into
the fight at the request of many citi-
zens Of the ward, and expects, with
the help of people who want an aggres-
sive and Independent representative in
the lower branch, to retire the present
member, John ], Flansghan. who be-
cause of his affiliations has outgrown
his usefulness as a representative of
the second richest ward in the state of
Pennsylvania.
The Ninth ward has a fight on for
the office of alderman. the regular Re-
publican nominee, Myron G. Kasson,
being opposed by the present candi-
date o. b. Wright, who is running
stump. There is no Democratic candi-
date and as a consequence the Repub-
lican nominee and the independent are
devoting much of their attention to the
carrolling of Democratic votes.
The Twelfth ward has no Republi-

can candidates, but there is a fight
there, nevertheless, and IL Is needless
to say II is n lively fight. The present
incumbents, Selectman James j. Man
ley and Commoner Morgan Sweeney, al
lowed the primaries to go by default,
that they might avoid the possibility
OF having to run on opposite tickets
and announced themselves as independ-
ents. They are opposed by John j,
Shea for select council and John ],
Monahan for common council as the
regular Democratic nominees, and for
select council Henry Coyle and An
thony J. Lundy are also nominees. The
different tickets are respectively named
Democratic, Independent, Citizens and
Peoples, Mr.. Coyle being the Peoples
candidate
Peter Ross, for select, and M, H.
Rinehart, for common, will seek to
give the Fourteenth to the Republi-
cans and their chances of ACCOMPLISH
ing this are very bright. They oppose
Selectman p. r. Mccain, who seeks
reelection, and Charles Wenzel. for
whom President =. j. Nealis, of COM
mon council, sacrificed himself in the
hopes of staying the sure defeat that
confronted the Democrats in that
ward. Now It is admitted that the sac
riice was a fruitless one.
SCHROEDER HAS IT EASY.
In the Sixteenth ward Select Coun-
Gilman Adam Schroeder received an
unanimous nomination from the Re-
publicans and Is unopposed for elec-
ton. His colleague. Fred f. Schoen,

down the Democratic majority in the
lower branch. Edward Coleman is
putting up a game fight against him.
but there are no fears of his being
elected
The Eighteenth has a hot Democratic
fight for select council; in fact, il is
one of the hottest of the campaign.
John Hoban is the regular nominee
and his opponent is Thomas O'Boyle.
There are two Democratic candidates
In the field for school controller in the
Nineteenth, Frank Manley and Peter
Alibaugh, but as they neglected to
have court decide which was the regu-
lar nominee, neither will have his name
on the ballot and as a consequence the
Republican candidate, Louis Schwass.
Will have comparatively easy sailing.
In the Twentieth ward NJ. r. Cabin,
FOR select. and M. G. Langan, for com
mon, are running as both Independent
and Republican candidates against
Thomas ]. Coyne, the present select
man, who wants to be given another
trial. and NJ. J. Cusick. 1t is a fac
tional fight and the chances strongly
favor the Independent Republican cam
didates.

THEY MAKE BIG MONEY
IN COFFEE IN MEXICO
Mild Complaint That Profit is I'M
der 800 Per Cent.

Mexico will continue to raise coffee
at a handsome profit long after other
countries, less fortunately situated
with regard to land and labor, have
gone out of the business" says Mod
ern Mexico. There has been consid
cradle complaint among Mexican coffee
growers during the last year owing to
the low price of coffee, but it was not
because they were not making money.
There is still easily from 100 to 200
per cent margin between the cost of
growing Mexican coffee and its selling
price. The mild complaints are heard
because there is no longer 800 or more
per cent profit in raising the berry.
However, there are not many prOduc-
tive coffee plantations on the market
Coffee can be grown in Mexico for
about cents, silver, per pound. From
favored districts transportation to
New York costs so cents per 100
pounds. The prevailing prices in New
York for Mexican coffee range from 8
to 16 cents, gold, per pound, while
some fancy grades bring higher prices,
therefore, it is readily seen how the
profits of 100 and 200 per cent are real
lied No, Mexico is not going out Of
the coffee business because the price
is not as high as it was a year ago.
Coffee has always stood at the head of
Mexicos agricultural exports, and will
probably continue to do so for years
to come During the last ten years
Mexico has exported coffee to the value
of nearly $4,000, 900 pesos. The only
agricultural product the export value
of which approximates that of coffee
is henequen. This fiber was exported
last year to the value of $500, 900.
The amounts and value of the coffee
exported by Mexico during the last
ten fiscal years are shown by the fol-
lowing table:

Millions Of dead and decaying fish are

great that so soon as the harvest is

STEADY EATERS OF POISON.

They Come to Point Where to Stop
 or Go On is Death-The Arsenic Eat
 CTS of Lowe, Austria-Had to Have
 His Daily Corrosive Sublimatc-All
 Persons are Regular Consumers of
 Poisons.
 Poisons are poisons the world over, but people can inure themselves to the use of them and absorb them In seeming safety for long period, although even- tually they never fail to exact the pen- atty that their consumption invariably commands There Is an interesting ar- ticle on this subject in an old copy of
 Harpers Magazine, bearing date of 1S54
 It was based upon the fact that an in- teresting trial for murder had taken
 place in Austria. The prisoner, Anna Alexander, was acquitted by the jury, who, in the various questions put to the witnesses in order to discover whether the murdered man, Lieutenant
 Matthew Warsel, was poison eater or
 not, educed some very curious evidence relating to this class of persons. It Is
 not generally known that eating poison is actually practised in more countries than one. At the time of the trial re-
 ferred to much interesting information regarding poison eating was gathered by a physician, Dr. T, Von Tschudi. l He prepared an account of his inyesti- gation, in part as follows:
 'In some districts of Lower Austria and in Styria, especially in those moun- | tainous parts bordering on Hungary. | there prevails the strange habit of eat ing arsenic The peasantry in particu- lar are given to it. They obtain 1t un-
 der the name of hedri from the travel | ing hucksters and gathers of herbs, who on their side get it from the glassblow-
 CTS or purchase 1t from the COW doctors, quacts or mountebanks. The poison ! eaters have twofold aim in theil dan-
 gerous enjoyment, one of which is to i obtain fresh, healthy appearance, and
 to require a certain degree of enbon- point On this account therefore, gay
 village lads and lasses employ the dan 1 gerous agent, that they may become
 more attractive to each other; and it is really astonishing with what favora ble
 results their endeavors are attended, for
 1t is the youthful poison eaters that are, 1 generally speaking, distinguished by blooming complexions and by an ap- | pearance of exuberant health. Out of
 many examples I select the following: | A farm servant who worked in a COW house was thin and pale, but neverthe- | less we'll and healthy. This girl had | lover whom she wished to enchain still
 more firmly; and in order to obtain
 more pleasing exterior she had recourse | to the well-known means, and swal- | lowed every week several doses of ar | senic. The desired result was obtained,
 and in few months she was much | fuller in the figure. rosy checked, and, 1 in short, quite according to her lovers l taste. In order to increase the effect she was so rash as to increase the dose of arsenic, and fell victim to her van | ity. She was poisoned, and died an ag onizing death.
 The number of deaths in consequeL ce of the immoderate enjoyment of arsenic | is not inconsiderable, especially among | the young. Every priest who has the | cure of souls in those districts where \ the abuse prevails could tell of such

HAVEN MORNING
WILL MIR. ULLMAN RESIGN?


 Conflicting Reports Current Regarding
 the Ex-President of the Police Com
 mission. r. Police Commissioner Ullman has not yet resigned. according to statement made by Mayor Farnsworth last eyen- ing. The mayor said that he had not received MT. Ullman's resignation and did not expect to receive 1t. The rumor that the commissioner would resign was, however, current yesterday after noon and last night, and was the chlef topic of political conversation among those who know. or think they know Several gentlemen who usually strike close to the true state of affairs said that they were certain that MT ullman would resign, if he had not already done so, while others who are generally right in their political prognostications said that MT. Ullman would not resign and was surprised that the rumor that he would do so had gained circulation.
 MT Ullman himself. however, left the city early last evening and beyond a statement made by him about o'clock nothing further could be obtained. Lats In the afternoon he said that he had not resigned. and when asked if he would do so he said that he could not say yet what he would do in the future. He refused to make a definite state- ment as to whether or not he would re- sign.
 One of his close friends, speaking ear ly in the evening of the matter, said 4 4l~14 l. l {. .T- |. sign. He said: ''Mr. Ullman has been appointed on the efficiency committee, the most important committee of the board. and did not desire to be president of the new board. He withdrew his name when he was proposed for presi- dent of the commission, and did not wish to serve in that capacity. You may be assured that he will not resign In the meantime MT. Ullman's action in the matter is awaited with interest.

Two Men Held for Criminal Negligence
 for Causing Yesterday Mornings < Wreck
 Two arrests have been made of men who are thought to be in a measure responsible for the wreck which occur red at Belle dock yesterday morning, and which resulted in the death of Brakeman Quinn. The men arrested and held to await the result of the coro- ner's investigation were William H. Clark, foreman of the gang of yard switchmen, and Michael Meskil, fore man of a gang of men who went down to clean the switches Tuesday after the snowstorm. The cause of the accident is still being investigated by the coro- nor

tragedies, and the inquiries I have my
 self made on the subject have opened
 out very singular details. Whether it
 arise from fear of the law, which for bids the unauthorized possession of ar senic, or whether it be that an inner voice proclaims to him his sin, the ar- senic eater always conceals as much as possible the employment of these dan gerous means. Generally speaking, 1t is only the confessional deathbed that raises the veil from the terrible secret. The second object the poison eaters have in view is to make them, as they express it, better winded;' that is, to make their respiration easier when as- cending the mountains. Whenever they have far to go and to mount a consider able height they take a minute morsel
