Suicide by Poison.

New York, May 11.-Mrs. Annie
Grubsrt, widow, "a years OF age, and
her daughter, Annie, seven years old,
were found dead in bed this morning al
their home, on Fifteenth street. Their
faces were black, their eyes yellow and
their features distorted as though death
had come in great agony. 1t Is believed
the mother gave the girl fatal dose
and then swallowed one herself. De-
spondency was probably the cause oil
Mrs. Grubert's action. The woman
had also tried TO kill her four-year-old
daughter, but 10 her frenzy had not
given her sufficiently large dose.

A LARGE part Of the space of the
Washington newspapers is daily filed
with accounts Of the most outrageous
crimes perpetrated by the negroes to
whom the slums of that city seem q
paradise. Well, Washington, of all the
cities in the country, is the very best
one in which such crimes should be
committed. There the negroes are
taught civil and political liberty and
are inculcsted In the belief that idle
ness, and the vices 1t engenders, are
necessary to establish their perfect
equality with the white people among
whom they live.

TIE ZION CONFERENCE OF the negro
Methodist Church, Of Washington,
has formally declared 10 favor
of the British and against the
Beers. Well, the support of the
American negroes will not help the
British, nor the lack OF it hurt the
Beers, but that it will increase the pro-
Boer feeling 10 this country goes with
out saying and is too plain to require
mention. Individually, negroes usually
have good sense, but collectively, es-
pecially when influenced by their false
friends from the North, they almost in

The Heavy Weight Championship.

New York, May 1l.-Jss. J. Jeffries,
the champion heavy weight pugilist Of
the world, and James J. Corbe't, e. e
former champion, will meet 10 the ring
of the Seaside A hletic Club tonight 10
a battle OF % rounds for the champion
ship and a purse of s25, 900. Charley
White will act as the referee. Betting
on the result this morning is 2 to l on
Jefiries end even money that Corbett
lasts ten rounds. Interest 10 the fight
seems to be mostly local. Few of the
usual out of town delegates have ar
rived yet. though the club managers ex-
pect many today. Around sporting
quarters this morning the impression was
that the contest would last less than ten
unds and that Jeffries would be win
ner, though few bets were placed. The
referee will call the men together about
ten o'clock and then the battle will be.

Horse Racing ON the stage.

In racing scenes the horses do run at
full speed. They run. however, not on
the fixed stage, but on what may be
called treadmills, which keep the horses
in front of the house for longer or
shorter periods, according as they are
moved quickly or slowly. A picket
fence, placed between the audience and
the course, not only makes the scene
more realistic; 1t also hides the mechan-
ism of the treadmills. This fence has
contributed in another way to add 10
the effect by being moved in opposition
to the direction Of the horses ana 80
lending to their apparent speed.
As to the sounds made by the foot
falls of horses to be heard as though
passing outside an interior scene, they
are reproduced by the dried hoofs or
dead horses or wooden limitations
mounted on handles and hammered
against surfaces Of stone, gravel. SOD
or whatever the occasion may demand
They are also more deliberately mann-
featured by revolving cylinder with
pins protruding from the surface.
These pins are arranged, like the spurs
on a hand organ roller, to Initiate trot-
ting, galloping or walking when struck
against other substances. Ii the sound
of carriage is to be added to the
trampling Of horses, wheels are run on

Patrols ON Russian Railroads.


The Transsiberian railroad is very
closely guarded, the management feel
ing personally responsible for the peo-
pie they carry on their trains. The
road il divided into sections of one
verst, or fve-eighths Of a mile. In a
neat little log house, usually In gar
den, live the guard and his people. The
average family Is wife and five tow
headed children. The houses were
built by the company and evidently
with a view to meeting the demands
Of increasing families. The guard or q
member of his family must patrol his
section night and day. He steps to the
side Of the track as the train ap-
proaches and after 1t has passed steps
back into the middle Of the track, holds
a small green flag In the air. at night q
lantern, and stands like a statue until
the train has entered the next section.
Several guards do duty In the heavy
curves, and frequently they are only q
few hundred feet apart.
Much of the track patrolling is done
by women, who have proved fully as
reliable as the men. The women are
nearly always barefoOted, and AS they
stand on the track holding the nag
aloft, Siberian breeze toying with
their short skirts. they are fine sub
jects for a sculptor after unique mod

Shan, Antlauit

A few years ago, in Soho, London,
there was a factory for antique cop
pers which is probably still In opera
ton. The legitimate business of the
place was the manufacture OF stew
pans and kettles, but when trade was
dull in that way any sort Of antiques
for which there happened to be de-
mand was produced instead.
An DID incense burner, for example,
would be reproduced by the dozen by
hammering over chuck. III Orna-
mented with pierced work, the copies
would be coated with asphaltum,
through which the design would he
traced, when it would then be eaten
out in an acid bath, saving the time
which would be required to cut out
the pattern with piercing saw. The
bath leaves thin edges, by which such
work may be detected.
The work would then be annealed
and would be permitted to oxidize and
scale. Picking with murlatic acid and
salt, to produce good coating Of YER
digris, would complete the job. Some.
times these antiques" would be pur-
posely broken and would be clumsily
mended with solder or with pure tin II
the piece was to pass for very an
cient one. Chiseled metal was repro
duced by casting and clubbing" over
with the hammer, then picking, an
