A good deal of discussion has been
called forth by a new order of the
Chicago board of education requiring
city teachers to live in the city. This
order it is charged was made in the
interest of local butchers, boarding
house keepers and other providers. In
any event it comes as a great hardship
to many teachers who prefer to live
outside the city limits, aud an agita-
tion for its repeal is being made.

Chased With 100000.

''There died in Kansas City, Kan,
the other day." says George Martin,
"a quiet, unobtrusive, modest and
never-boastful citizen. He came from
a Pennsylvania regiment in 1854, and
he became messenger for the Holli-
day Express Company, running from
Leavenworth to Santa Fe. W. H.
Bridgens, the messenger referred to,
on one of his trips had 500, 900 in
greenbacks strapped about his person
and secreted in his clothes. There
was no one but him and the driver in
charge of the coach, and for days they
proceeded along their lonesome jour
ney without seeing o human face.
When yet many miles from Santa Fe
they were overtaken by a bowling band
of Indians and fierce battle was
fought. Bridgens and his companion
exhausted their ammunition and con-
tinued the fight with their knives.
Finally they succeeded in unloosing
their horses from the stage, and,
quickly mounting them, fed through
the timber. The savages gave chase
and succeeded in separating the two
men, but did not capture either of
them. Mr.. Bridgens still retained
his treasure but he lost his way among
the crags and canons, and it was more
than two weeks before he found his
way to the house of white man.
During all this time he subsisted en-
tirely upon berries and herbs. His
long absence caused his employer to
believe that he had been robbed and
killed by the Indians, and before his
return they had made good the money
they had given up as lost. When
Mr.. Bridgens returned with his
precious burden still intact they were
amazed, and so grateful were they that
they presented their young agent with
q handsome token of their apprecia-
tion."

A BraYe Woman.

The tragic story of the beautiful
and talented Scottish woman, Helen
Irving, is not, perhaps, well-known,
although it has been celebrated in
song. She had been for some time
courtea by two gentlemea whose
names were Bell and Fleming. Bell
told the girl that if he ever found her
in Fleeming's company he would kill
him, She. however, had strong re-
gard for Fleming, and one day while
walking along the romantic banks of
the Kirtle, she observed his rival on
the other side of the river among the
bushes. Conscious of the danger her
lover, was in, she passed between him
and his enemy, who, firing, shot her
dead. Fleming crossed the river and
killed the coward. A heap of stones
was raised on the place where the
brave woman fell, and she was buried
in the near churchyard. Fleeming,
overwhelmed with love and grief,
went abroad but soon returned, and
stretching himself on her grave, ex-
pired. He was buried by her side.

That the new bankruptcy law is do
ing well is testified by the fact that
many petitions in bankruptcy already
filed in New York state relate to fail
ures that occurred from two to 10 years
ago. These failures may have been
entirely honest, as doubtless most of
then were; but this made no differ
ence, says Christian Work. So long
as Judgments hung over them it was
impossible for bankrupts to enter
business except under the name of
another person. They did not dare
TO invest dollar they could call their
own. In this way their creditors as
we'll as themselves often suffered. AS
a result there was little incentive for
n bankrupt to attempt to to get on his
feet again, and creditors, for whose
protection the state law was especially
intended, received nothing. Instead
Of the law being to their advantage it
was just the reverse. This state of
things the new federal bankruptcy law
removes. 1t is now possible for hon
est debtors to secure discharge from
old debts and to make a fresh start in
business. The law bids fair to prove
n real blessing, and the only wonder
is that the craftsmanship of the coun-
try could not have produced an ade-
quate measure long ago.

POIsONs IN MURDER.
THE USE OF THE sUBTLER DRUGS
SELDOM BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

Strychnine and Arsenic Are Clumsy
Agents of Death, as Their Traces
Remain In the Victim Indefinitely.
Poisons In Novels and Plays.
"a recent newspaper article" said q
physician, called attention to two
curious facts. or rather, alleged facts,
about poison. First, that it is so sell
dom resorted to by murderers, and,
second, that it's use is almost invaria-
bly, followed by detection. One might
answer both statements with the ques
ton: How do we know? How do we
know that the few clumsy cases that
come to light represent the sum Of that
kind of crime?
st is undeniably true that there are
certain drugs which, if administered
with skill, would be almost impossible
to detect. Their symptoms are practi
cally identical with those of familiar
diseases, and little while after death
they decompose, change form and dis
appear.
1T would be possible too, to innocu-
late victim with the germs of some
deadly malady. He would then go to
his grave with real case Of consump-
ton or pneumonia or loclljaw, and
there would be nothing to arouse the
shadow of suspicion. I believe firmly
that such crimes are committed and
never discovered. but believe also
that they are very rare. The real safe
guard of community lies in the fact
that so few murderers possess the req
uisite skill.
Educated people seldom commit de-
liberate MURDER" continued the doctor,
"and the uneducated mind instructive
ly associates poison with two sub
stances-arsenica and strychnine. They
are the deadly drugs most familiar to
the public, and fortunately they are
easily detected. Murder by arsenic is
infinitely clumsy. To begin with, the
symptoms are marked and peculiar
being a metallic product, its traces re-
main in the body an indefinite time.

some years ago IN another STATE. "A
young physician plotted to kill
wealthy farmer. He knew the latter
was taking Quinine for cold and,
meeting him one day, asked to see
what size capsules he used. While
pretending to examine them, he slip

farmer happened on 1t nearly week
