JULIA HUsE DEAD.
Well Known Figure on Local Streets Sue
cumbs to Blood Poisoning

Julia Huse, a well known figure on
the streets Of Worcester, died suddenly
az the city hospital early Monday
morning, from blood poisoning. She
had been at the hospital for some
time. being treated for varicose veins in
her legs The theory advanced by the
physicians is that a clot of blood be-
came detached and f,aused blood pois-
oning.
Julia Huse, or as she was better
known in the neighborhood where she
resided, Julia Blues which nick
name was derived from the fact that
she manufactured and sold blueing, was
a we'll known figure in the vicinity OF
Waldo and Exchange streets, and
from her unusual appearance, was no.
ticed wherever she went about the
city.
She was eccentric in her dress, and
was generally seen wearing a mans
hat and coat and drawing a small ex,
press wagon about the streets, in which
she transported her stock in trade.
Very little is known about her an
cestry. beyond the fact that she came
to Worcester from Lowell about Il
years ago, and took up her abode or
Exchange street, where she lived alone
and made her blueing.
About a year ago she moved to Cy.
press street, where she occupied a room
which the landlord allowed her to have
free of rent, as she was so lame as to be
unable to make her usual rounds. Sir :.
that time her ailment became stead.
worse, until she was taken to the hos.
pital.
She was born in Lowell of Americas
| parents, and evidently received a good
education. Nothing further is known Of
| her relatives

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. A.-The house spent
a couple of hours today transacting
business relating to the District of Col
umoia, and the remainder Of the day
on the Indian appropriation bill. Dur
ing the consideration of the latter bill
a lively political debate was precipita-
s ted by an allusion made by Mr.. Simp-
son, relative to an alleged Interview
with the president on the subject of
immigration. Mr.. Grosvenor expressed
the opinion that the president had
never used some of the language i'm.
puted to him, and the debate drifted
into a, general discussion of our indus
trial conditions, in the course of which
the strike in New England the high
prices for wheat in Kansas and the de-
faulting republican officials in Nebras-
ka played their parts. Messrs. Dingley,
Greene, Mercer, and Simpson partici-
pated.

Of this number, only per cent were
found to be so serious as to necessitate
condemnation. Cattle in which the dis
ease Is only slightly advanced may re-
main In the barns If they are thorough
| ly disinfected. In these cases, the blood
! of the animal is not affected, and good
beef can be made from 1t. Careless
ness In the slaughter houses is respon-
sible for the poor condition of much or
the beef A recommendation urged by
the doctor was a reduction In the
amount of compensation for a diseased
COW, from $50 to $40; since, at the pres
ent time, there is great temptation to
speculate
In his opinion, the disease could not
be entirely eradicated, but could be re-
duced to harmless minimum, and next
year, the work has progressed so well,
the commission will ask for a smaller
appropriation. After an interesting dis
I cussion, the meeting adjourned until
evening
The members of the association sat
down to their banquet at o'clock, and
about 8, President Gleason called the
meeting to order and gracefully intro
duced Hon. Ledyard Bill of Paxton.

senator. "about 100000 head Of cattle,

would attack that problem.
Senator Bill deplored the extravagant
methods in dealing with these evils, and
cited the river and harbor bill of
congress. He also ridiculed the efforts
of Springfield and Holyoke to open the
Connecticut river to navigation. The
net debt Of this commonwealth was in
creased last year by sS,000,000 and yet
third of the farms in this vicinity are
mortgaged.
o. B. Hadwen of this city made a
happy speech, in which he said that his
experience of so years in the milk bust
ness had taught him a few things, and
among them that cleanliness and care
about barns are of the utmost import
ance. He believed in education on such
subjects rather than legislation, and
said that in this regard he was much
like former legislator from this city
who always voted for no labor between
meals and for prohibition between
drinks.
DR.. Parker of Iaverhill also referred
to the bad condition of barns, and ad-
vised that cobwebs should be removed
from barn windows, because sunlight is
the cheapest disinfectant there is. The
cattle commission will shortly issue a
pamphlet on the subject, which will in
clude recommendations for the proper
construction of barns
Among the other speakers who re-
sponded informally were Secretary Har-
rlngton, ]. L. Ellsworth and w. c. Jew

At 1880 the company dispersed.

FOR PURE LINsEED OIL.
Mr.. Marble Appears Before Committee on
judiciary.

The committee on the judiciary gave
a hearing this morning on bill to pre-
vent the adulteration of linseed and
flaxseed oils or deception in their sale.
Mr.. j. R. Marble of Worcester came be-
fore the committee, and said he knew
Of people who mixed these oils with
petroleum products and sold them as
pure oils. He thought the bill ought
to be enacted to prevent the practice.
Chairman Myers of the committee
stated that he did not think the COM
mittee would enact any law unless it
were shown that grave abuses existed
demanding such action.
Mr. Marble went on to show that
something like $4,000 barrels of this oil
was sold in New England annually,
mostly in Massachusetts, his own firm
having sold as many as 10000 barrels in
a year He thought a law ought to be
passed to protect the honest dealers.
After some confirmatory evidence the
hearing was closed
