next he had an unpleasant taste.
In that previous hunting experience
he had analysed the chemical preserv-
alive and found 1t to contain borax
and salicylic acid. These were to be
used externally on the elk, but he had
rubbed it in the raw flesh and also in
jected it.
Questioned as to these ingredients, he
said borax was not safe to be used in
connection with food nor for ordinary
medicinal purposes, while the salicylic
acid was most nauseous, loathsome and
disgusting almost always destructive

HOTEL GUESTS IN A PANIC.
Many Have Narrow Escapes In Cih-
cinnati Blaze.

Cincinnati, Jan. 21.-The' Sherwood
House. on the east side OF walnut
street, above Sixth, took fire, and III
very brief time the house was so f1lled
with smoke as to endanger the lives OF
the 60 or more sleeping guests. Many
of the guests were members of THEATRE
al companies.
Very soon the upper corridors were
filled with shrieking, hysterical women.
The male guests had difficulty in re-
straining the women from jumping
from the windows.
The firemen were active in carrying
out the women, and most of them were
rescued by the stairway, but several
were taken down by the ladders and by
the fire escape.
Il. HI. Munich, a travelling salesman
from New York, was among the last to
be rescued. He was found with wet
towel over his face in an unconscious
condition, but by the aid of physicians
was saved.
Several of the half suffocated guests
were carried into the Hotel Stratford.
The entire fire department was called
out, and the fire was subdued before
the building was destroyed. The money
loss will not exceed $40 600; fully insured.

Some Developments Before the Com

Sacramento Jan. 21.-The committee
investigating the scandals resulting
from the senatorial situation is meet
ing with surprising developments. The
last man to be dragged into the affair
is Chairman Cosper of the committee
himself.
l.. L. Levings of the San Francisco
Call took the stand and swore that a
person, to witness unknown, had told
him Milton ]. Green, U. S. Grants man.
ager, had said that Cosper had been to
Green with the statement that Burns
had offered him (Cosper) $4,000 for his
vote.
Cosper, according to the story, had
told Green that he would like to vote
for Grant, but thought that Grant
should pay him as much as Burns had
offered. Chairman Cosper followed
Levings on the stand and denied the
story.
Walter Bacon, Grants attorney be-
fore the committee, took the floor and
stated that he had information to sub
stantiate the charge against Cosper.

Nelson Supports Expansion.

Washington, Jan. 21. Mr.. Nelson
(NIinn.) made a speech in the senate
upon the Vest antiexpansion resolution
His address was constitutional argu-
ment in support Of the right of the
United States government to acquire
and govern foreign territory. He main
tanned that it was no longer an unset
tied question that this country had the
power not only to acquire foreign terri
tory by discovery, conquest or treaty,
but also to govern territory so acquired.
That question, he said, had been settled
by decision OF the supreme court and
was scarcely open to debate He MAIN
tanned that the United States had in
herent power to acquire territory.

A Wife and Her Husbands business.
at is cause of amazement to me
that a man can go on year in and year
out. toiling for a family whose members
show no interest in his work further
than to spend the money he makes and
who look upon him as the family mint, :"
writes Frances Evans in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "My firm belief is that
had he in the first flush of married life
talked over his business and ambitions
with his wife she would have become
interested in both, first for his sake and
afterward for her own and their chill
dren's. Think Of the gulf that lies be-
tween a man and woman united in
marriage when he never speaks at home
of the affairs which absorb his entire
dayl Mutual interests will bind people
together indissolubly even when indif-
ference, that dangerous bridge of signs,
has swallowed up affection.

The Wngcs They Pay In ChInn.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Labor saving
devices are not wanted in China. This
is clearly shown by Consul General
Goodnow in a report to the state de-
partment made in reply to an inquiry
of an export association in New York.
He says: THE cheapest thing here is a
man. There is more labor than can
find employment. A cody carrying
dirt will receive from to 10 cents gold
per day. He must work from sunrise to
sunset. There are more coolies willing
to work for this pittance than there is
work for them to do
