Henry Thompson Says He Is One
End of m Curious Wager.

Another globe trotter" is in our
city. His name is Henry Thompson,
and he halls from San Francisco, which
town he left four years ago to follow
a schedule laid down for him, which
will net him, he says, $4,000. He is
confident of filling the terms of his
contract and is due in San Francisco
November 80, 1898.
Since starting out he has crossed this
broad continent five times, once in the
Dominion of Canada, and has per-
formed Pucks trick of girdling the
world.
Since leaving home, as per orders.
he has sent 1850 messages, thus being
easily followed by the two wealthy
men who have placed the wager.
He is a well-built fellow and carries
scars from bullet wounds and other
dangerous things. His best walk was
80 miles in 211a hours. He has passed
through tempera lures ranging from 30
degrees below to 113 degrees above zero
Fahrenheit When he gets back, draws
his 500, 900 now only in prospect, he says
he will go to a town up in Canada and
marry charming F'rench-Canadian
girl whose father is a judge.

CAPT. MAY DECLINES.
Would BE Unable to Accept Comm a nd
OF the New Regiment.

Captain W. A. May, ex-commander
of Company u, Thirteenth regiment,
who has been suggested for the colonel
cy of the regiment that is to succeed
the Thirteenth, would not accept the
post if it was rendered him. He made
that statement to a Tribune reporter
who questioned him yesterday on the
subject.
while l feel honored by being men,
toned for such a conspicuous and re-
sponsible position" said Captain May,
II could not accept it. My duties as
a business man are too eXacting to per-
nit even a consideration of the thing
and they are steadily increasing. If I
was more Independently situated /
would feel differently about it,"
Captain May remarked, as a COM
ment, that his position in the matter
was so well understood that his name
would never be formally suggested for
the command, much less would it be
offered him.

MORE MONEY WANTED.
Soldiers Relief Association Receiv.
ing MANY Applications tor Aid.

The announcement that a meeting Of
the executive committee of the SOL
diers' Relief association was to have
been held yesterday was a mistake. 1t
was not intended to meet until Thurs
day of next week
An evidence of the urgent need of re-
lief was shown in the five new appli-
cations received yesterday. While they
have not been investigated each case
appeared to be a deserving one. The
relief committee has at its disposal
about $500 in cash and $l.500 in sub
scriptions. 1t is apparent that the cash
and subscriptions will be soon con-
sumed and that the relief committees
responsibilities will increase the longer
the regiment remains away. on this
account an effort will be made at once
to secure new subscriptions.
While Hon. Alfred Hand, president
OF the executive committee, is out OF
the city, his office will be filled by the
yice-president, Captain w. A. May.

VERY SAD CASE.

Mrs. Molinario's case is q sad one.
She was handsome young woman, y
years old. and well educated. Her
husband some months ago decided to
abandon the mines and go to California
to seak better employment. They had
enough money saved to allow her and
the children to take a trip to Genoa, the
city of her birth. and the day she left
last week for New York, he went to
San Francisco.
She did not want to take passage on
the La Bourgogne, preferring a German
Lloyd steamship, which would land in
the harhor Of her native city. The
French liners destination was Havre,
and the journey from there to Genoa by
rail takes two days and two nights.
But in view of the number of Ital-
ians around here who were going on
the La BourgoGne, she dismissed her
preference for the other line, saying as
| she was buying her ticket that she
knew she would regret it, She expect
| ed 10 stay until the fall in Genoa and
| return to join her husband in Califor-
| mia. Her youngest child was a baby,
three months old, and the other was 2
years of age. She has a sister, whose
| husband conducts a saloon in Arch
| bald.
| The husbands of the four other fam
lilies lost were employed in the mines
| of William Connell & Co., at Duryea.
Luigi Nasone was iG years old and his
| wife 30. Their four children were 1
yearS years. , years, and months
old, respectively. They were bound for
Mi!ano, an inland city of Italy, and
expected to return in the course of a
| few months.

that the mammals which are classed

How Snake Poison Kills.

The action OF poisons upon the sys-
TEN is and always has been one of the
most interesting OF subjects. Just how
and why 1t kills has but yet been de-
termined through a series OF expert
ments made by scientists. The follow
ing description Is unquestionably the
best and most lucid of any that has
been given to the public: "The venom
may be roughly separated into two
parts-one acting upon the blood, and
the other upon the nerves. When in
