OF the distinguished Number who
Served Only Two Are Living.

Served Only Two Are Living.
Don't you know that man." asked a
southern member of congress of Star
reporter, pointing to an elderly man
with gray, curly hair and mustache,
who stood at the corner of Fourteenth
and F streets a few afternoons ago.
"That is II. G. Worthington, and few
men in this world have had such di-
versified life as he. He and Henry G.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, are the only
survivors of the distinguished men who
acted as pallbearers at the funeral of
President Lincoln. That was on April
1S, 1865.
"Worthington was then a representa-
tive from Nevada, and that was by no
means his first position in public life.
He was a member of the California leg
islature in 1851, and served together
with the recently retired Justice Field.
He was with Walker, the filibuster, in
his expedition to Nicaragua, and barely
escaped the fate that befel Walker and
several thousands of his followers.
"Worthington participated in the ad-
mission of three states. He is one of
the few persons living who stumped
California for Gen. John C. Fremont
He was a great friend of Fremont, and
was his legal representative in settling
up his Mariposa estate, in California.
He was sent by Nevada as her first
representative in congress. Nye and
Stewart came along at the same time
as senators. When Grant was in Cali
fornia, long before the war, he became
acquainted with Worthington. The
friendship that sprung up between
them in the golden state was severed
only by Grants death.

HONEY-BEE POISON.
Experiments Made by . German ssi-
entist-Chemical and Toxic
Properties.

The chemical and toxic properties of
the poison of the honey bee have been
a subject for long study by German
scientist, DIR. Jose Zanger. During his
Investigations DIR. Zanger employed u.s.
900 bees. He found that the fresh poi
son is clear, like water, of an acrid re-
action, bitter taste, and of a fine aro-
matte flavor. On evaporating and dry
ing at temperature of 100 degrees
centigrade (212 degrees Fahrenheit, a
gummy residue is left. 1t is soluble in
water; with alcohol it forms an emul-
sion-like mixture. The aromatic odor
is due to a volatile substance, which dis
appears on evaporation, and is not
poisonous. The poisonous constituent
is not destroyed by short boiling, nor
by drying and heating the residue to
212 degrees Fahrenheit, nor by the di-
luted acids or alkalies. DIR. Zanger has
proved the existence of formic acid, but
he has Elso proved that there is not the
pois9Eous principle. The latter is an
organic base, soluble with difficulty in
water, but kept in solution by an acid.
On the healthy skin neither the bee
! poison or two per cent. solution of the
poisonous principle has any effect, but
they act as powerful irrtants on the
mucuous membranes. His tests, made
on rabbits and other animals, show
that when the poison is brought in con-
tact with the eye there follows lschry-
nation, hyperemia, chemosis and Group
Gus membranes in conjunction. The
general condition is also affected; the

HOW THE FILIPINOs FIGHT.

Lieut.. Stacker Thinks We Are Pay
ing Dearly for the Islands.
New York, Dec. 9.-Lieut. Stacker and
seven members of the First Tennessee Vol
unteers arrived here to-day on the steam
ship st. Louis from Southampton. They
are on their way 20 their homes in Clarks-
VILE Tenn, after having seen some months
of active service in the Philippines
THE Philippine soldiers fight like he'll"
said Lieut.. Stacker '"They seem to have
no fear of death, and they do not fear
danger but their fighting is not the kind
We expected They will fight and then
scatter to fight again. Their mode of war
fare is much like that of the Beers.
The troops in my opinion will be chas-
ing Aguinaldo for the next 1866 years, and
then never catch him. He is simply the
hgurehead. There are others behind him.
Some of the Filipinos in Manila are friend
ly and some will work for the government
and even give the military authorities in
formation, but those in command are
never sure but that the same persons are
giving the rebel army more information.
L do not think the Filipinos are worth
all the loss of life and trouble they are
costing us.
The climate out there is unhealthy, and
there is a great deal of sickness among
the soldiers. Two per cent. of our regi-
ment were sick with dysentery and fever
There were three or four deaths in the
regiment from smallpox. Many a soldier
dies out there, and the people over here
never hear anything of the matter. They
don't like to make the death list public
Gen. Otis is a good man, but he is not
liked by the men, who privately speak OF
him as the old woman, or use other
equally disrespectful names. He has done
