Poison Turned His Hair.

! Mr.. Louis Kosok of Chicago is at the
county hospital suffering from lead
poisoning. His hair and eyebrows have
turned green and he fears that his skin
will turn the same color. His life is in
danger and the doctors do not believe
he can recover, his system having been
thoroughly poisoned. Mr.. Kosok has
been employed in the smelling depart
ment Of the American smelling and re-
1nlng works for several years. In the
performance of his special line Of work
the man was compelled to inhale the
fumes of lead and brass. He has been
doing this for several years. A few
weeks ago he became i'll and his
friends were startled to notice that his
hair was changing color. A few days
ago he became helplessly sick in the
shops and a physician was called, who
diagnosed the case as one of lead pois-
oning, brought on by inhaling the
fumes. ..--- d. go: -.

- III 80 In Persia. ..,,.{ s.:a5s
The governorship of a state is held
yearly by the man who gives the shah
the largest present; during his period
of Office he collects from, the people the
taxes, the present he has given the
shah and a good substantial sum into
the bargain for himself. Absolutely
piti1ess, his men will often seize the
last sticks Of an old man, and if the
people, seeing starvation staring them
in the face, resist, they. are liable to-
be put to death by torture, if what was
in the mouth Of every one was true. In
the old days it was necessary to make
al frightful example Of a few caravan
robbers to keep the road through the
Kotabs safe. IN a country where it's
,c11st omary TO commit suicide. in a
fanatical way, as, for nstance, when
wives throw themselves on their hus-

The Shah's Peacock Throne.

Among the varied treasures Of the
Shah Of Persia, perhaps the Peacock
throne ought to be accorded premier
place. The frame is entirely of silver,
and above it the CLEANS of silver melt
into molten gold. 1t is encrusted from
end to end and from top to bottom
with diamonds. The rug on which the
Shah reposes is edged with amethysts,
and the pillow on which he reclines
his imperial head is fringed with
pearls. Some travellers. Sir Richard
Burton among them, have estimated
S25. 100000.

YALE SOPHOMORE SOCIETIES

ALE SOI1oMORE SOClEIlES.
The resolution adopted by the Yale
faculty regarding the sophomore socie-
ties and subsequently communicated to
the representatives Of the several soph-
omore societies reads as follows:
"Voted-That the interests of the uni
versity demand that the taking in Of
new members by the sophomore socie-
ties be postponed until further notice"
This is taken to mean in Yale in all
quarters to be a forerunner to the more
sweeping order that the secret societies
known as sophomore societies. will be
abolished.
Last evenings New York Post re-
marks on the subject:
After the meeting it was officially
stated that the faculty acted in the
matter with reluctance and that it had
hoped, and was still hoping that the
trouble would be settled by the under
graduates.
interviews with members of the
faculty indicate that the order is in
tended as sharp and definite warning
to the sophomore societies that their
recent joclleying' policy is disapproved
by the faculty. By implication, at
least, they are also ordered to accept
the proposition for the pyramid sys-
tenn adopted by the conference COM
mittee. In effect, the order for a time
may abolish the sophomore societies.
The members of them in few days
enter the Junior societies, and as they
can-unless they defy the faculty reso-
no freshmen to fill their
places, void is left except on the the
DRY that the same men can be active
members of both sophomore and jun
ior societies, too-a thing unprecedent-
ed in Yale society history. This condi-
ton of affairs continues until the fac
ulty rescinds it's resolution. If the
sophomore society men continue to re-
sst and pursue a policy of trickery or
bad faith there can be little doubt that
the sophomore societies will be abolish
ed and the severest academic penalty
inflicted on any one attempting to re-
vive them.
THE petition of the senior class
against the sophomore societies was re-
ferred to the faculty only last Satur-

day, and the prompt action of the coll
lege authorities in defending Yale de-
mocracy commands the warmest ap-
prevail outside of the active members Of
the sophomore organizations, One of
the significant things in the controver-
sy, showing the power of the sopho-
more societies, is the fact that the Yale
News which has sophomore society
men on it's editorial board, has not from
the first printed word about the con
trOVerSy."

YALE PLAY TONIGHT.
Words of Praise Received by Mr.
Clarke Concerning the Play.

Words of Praise Received by Mr..
Clarke Concerning the Play.
In regard to the performance which
the Yale University Dramatic associa-
ton is going to present at the Hyperion
theater this evening it might not be out
of place to say few words concerning
the outside well-wishers of the associa-
ton.
AS to the performance itself, things
have now reached that point where
nothing is lacking to make the initial
performance grand success. All the
minor details have been competently
taken care of and when the curtain
goes up at $3.50 this evening the people
of New Haven and it's suburbs will be
treated to one of the most accurate and
typical of English plays.
1t is most refreshing to hear from
such men as Augustus Thomas. Eugene
w. Presbrey and Franklin Sargent, and
to receive their best wishes for success,
which means so much at this, the first
performance. 1t is hardly necessary to
say anything about these men, who are
such well known persons. Below are
printed some letters received from tnem
which speak for themselves:
The Lambs,
70 West Thirtysixth street,
New York.
My Dear Mr.. Clarke--I have had the
pleasure of seeing the sheet poster
which the Yale Dramatic association
has issued proclaiming its forthcoming
production of 1.-THE Second Shepherd
Play"
May l wish them and you success in
the venture and at the same time say
that any performance will be a success,
for to my mind the hopeful side of the
attempt appears not so much in the
prospective applause as in the fact that
the intelligent element of a newer gen
Grafton is taking organized interest In
the drama. The momentum Of the en-
deavor of lot Of clear-eyed, fair mind
ed. outstanding boys, such as any class
of Yale must be, is factor for good in
my profession that ! heartily cheer.
Truly yours,
AUGUSTUS THOMAS.
