Chemistry and Crime.

So frequent of late have been the mur-
ders and attempted murders by poison
that one is tempted to ask if the spirit
of the Borgias is not haunting the end
of the nineteenth century. By aid of
the chemical experts many seemingly
unsolvable mysteries are cleared up.
These men can say whether the dark
spots on the floor or blade are fruit
stains or blood, and if blood what kind,
whether of man or beast. They know
that if the deceased met his death from
strychnine the liquids of the body, un-
der certain treatment, turn pale blue;
that if morphine has been the means
of death the liquids will turn bright
red under other chemical conditions;
and that arsenic in the stomach can be
gathered in a black deposit by the use of
correct solvents. In fact, there seems
very little that this criminal chem
istry" does not disclose as regards the
nature of the killing or the poisoning.
1t finds the end of the tangle and then
hands it over to the detectives to un-
wind. II is easy TO see of what inesti-
mable assistance ali this is to law and
order and justice. Every method or in
yention that facilitates the discovery of
crime is a step toward the lessening of
crime

BARRED OUT.
Many Government Clerks Now on the
Temporary Roll Cannot be Trans
ferrcd TO the Permanent List.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The attorney
general has given an opinion to the
state department which is of great in-
tcrest to the large army or government
clerks in this city who are on what is
known as the temporary roll. The
attorney general holds that the amend
ment to Rule Of the civil service
rules, recently made by President Me
Kinley, applies only to those persons
holding temporary appointment in
the government service at Washing
ton, who were certified by the civil
service commission for such temporary
appointment.
The effect of this opinion is to com
pletely shut out from possibility OF
transfer to the permanent rolls of the
departments all persons holding tenn
porary appointments not certified by
the civil service commission. Nearly
all the persons on the temporary roll
Of the war and treasury departments
come within this prohibitorv category
for the reason that they were appoint
ed by the heads of the respective de
partmcnts during the Spanish war
without certifcation from the civil
service commission.

THE SERIOUS CEREUS.
Mr.. smith Thinks There Are Times
When They Amount to
Tragedy.

"Night blooming cereuses are no joke"
remarked Smith to his partner as he ar
rived at the office about y o'clock in the
day,
Serious things, l suppose" remarked
smith groaned. SERIOUS? Well, I should
say so. They are a tragedy. We have one
in our family, and Just as soon as | can per-
suade my wife to go down to her mothers
for few days that hoodoo of botanical
specimen goes in the ash barrel. For some
reason or other my wife decided that the
cereus was going to bloom last night. 1t has
threatened to bloom SO many times and then
backed out at the last minute that nobody
but woman would have any more faith in
it. But it was a sure thing this time and
Mrs. Smith sent runners all over town to
summon our friends in to see that dastardly
thing burst into flower; certain billed to
blossom out at midnight. When / came
home Mrs. Smith said:
Now, Henry, night blooming cereus is
something you don't see in flowers more
years? Anyway it's an awful long time.
And I've invited the Jones and the Collinses
and the greens and
well, about 30 people, half of EN- living

ranged to meet man at the club, but | tele-
phoned him ! wouldn't be there. Then the
caterers came and they turned the house into
an ice.cream parlor. All my papers and
books and fishing rods and guns were car
rled out of the study to clear suitable
place for that confounded cereus 1t took
the center of the stage and kept it, and as far
as | am concerned | wish botany was at the
bottom OF the sea. The layout cost me $50
besides losing in the melee a deed to ten
lots in Engewood"
We'll, but the cereus?" quered Brown.
"Oh, yes, hang it, the thing didn't bloom.

ANTITRUST CONFERENCE.
officials From Eleven states Meet I'm
81. Louis TO Discuss Means for Crush
ing Combines.


ST. Louis, Sept. 21.-The governors
of Arkansas, Tennessee, Michigan,
Missouri. Colorado and Iowa, most oI
them accompanied Icy their attorneys
general. and the attorneys general ana
other representatives of Montana, In
diana, Mississippi and Washington, in
response to the imitation of Gov.
Sayres, of Texas. to meet in confer
encc for the purpose of discussing the
trust question, assembled Wednesday
at the Planters hotel, where three ses-
sions were held. The conference will
he concluded to-day, when the commit
tee on resolutions will report.
Gov. Saycrs was present with his at
torney general and was chosen perma-
nent chairman of the conference.
Cows. McLaurin, of Mississippi; Foster,
OF Louisiana, and Gambler, of Georgia,
sent regrets.
Most of the day was spent in speech
making and almost every one of those
present was afforded an opportunity
to air his views on the question. There
were several tits between speakers of
opposite political faith, that gave spice
to the proceedings.
At the morning session Gov. Steph-
ems, of Missouri, made Il partisan fling
at the republican national administra-
ton, criticiZing its expansion policy
and declaring that trusts and imperial
ism go hand in hand. Gov. Shaw, Of
Iowa, took up the gauntlet thrown
down by Stephens and at the after
noon session answered him in a speech
which brought smiles to the faces Of
those present.
In turn Gov. Jones, of Arkansas,
took Iowa's chief magistrate to task
for using facetious language at such
Il gathering.
There seemed to be a great difference
remedying the so-called trust evil
Some of those present thought that
the state laws now in vogue were suf-
ficient to control the operations of the
combinations complained of, while
others were of the opinion that uni
form laws should be enacted by the
several states and by congress Some
were for the complete annihilation of
the trusts, while others favored their
regulation. Cows. Sayres and Pin
gree in their speeches showed them
selves strongly in favor of the first
idea. as was Gov. Jones. of Arkansas.
Cows. Thomas. of Colorado, and Shaw,
of Iowa, favored the enactment of
laws to restrict the combines. There
was alrnost as much difference of
opinion among the attorneys general
who were heard.

Boston has a charity which, if emu
lated, would be of inestimable value to
the sick infants of any city. It's called
the Milk fund, and is an organization
whose contributions pay for the food
of children Of impecunious parents dur

plies not only milk, but any kind of
nourishment that is needed in the indi-
vidua case. II saves many lives that
otherwise would not be able to sustain
the dual ordeal of trying heat and i'm

tartan and practical, and is indorsed by

Not So Over Here,

To crusty old bachelors or the woman
who is out of the running the marriage
question: is assuming some rather anus
ing phases in foreign countries. The
diet of Hesse has introduced tax on
unmarried men, they being compelled
to pay 20 per cent. more taxes than
their married brethren, and it is said
that the effect of this resolution by the
government is being watched with
great interest by the maidens of
Hesse, who are anticipating an epi-
deInic of proposals. While in India that
ever-recurring question of the remar-
riage of widows has again popped up,
the eastern fathers suddenly realizing
that by giving their widows a second
chance the opportunities of getting rid
of their unmarried daughters is be-
ing considerably narrowed. English
statistics show that one out of every
five widows seizes the opportunity to
second time stand before the altar
of Hymen. 1t is said that in the
United States the female population
is very little larger than the male, for
the surplus women of New England are
balanced by the men of the mining
communities of the far west.

Our Country Must Win.

One thing is clear. The United States
cannot in honor and decency withdraw
its armies from the Philippines until
substantial and permanent victory
has been gained and the foundations
for a settled government by its
people are laid. Neither W. ]. Bryan,
ex-Gov. Altgeld, Acting Chairman
Stone, of the democratic national com.
mittee, nor any other anti-impcrialistic
democrat would say now that the Amer
lean flag should be hauled down in the
Philippines and our troops ordered to
"scuttle out" from the country. 1t
would be lasting disgrace TO admit
defeat and sue Aguinaldo for peace.
The only possible course is TO gain de-
cisive victories in the Philippines, 10
conquer the country, to establish Amer
lean authority throughout the islands
and then to consider the question of
granting the people their Independence.
That is a way in which the prestige of
American power may be maintained
and at the same time vindicate the
American principle of justice to ali and
Of humanity. which is the duty of all

1t is the heavy man who now has his

On the farm of Charles Schaffer,
near Wapakoneta, o., is fine artesian
well, the result of an unsuccessful at
tempt to bore for oil. Last week Mr..
Schatfer pulled the plug and flooded
several acres of his land to revive his
dying pas rre. In a few days he and his
neighbors were astonished to see his
temporary lake filled with myriads of
little fish from two to four inches long,
which proved to be black bass of the
finest kind. Their origin is a mystery,
as there is not a creek, river or pool of
water within two miles, and no one can
explain their sudden appearance. The
well flows 10000 barrels of pure, clear
water a day, and Mr.. Schaifer has de-
cided to dam his pasture and turn it
into permanent fish pond.
