Ohio for Bryan.

Former Attorney General Frank s.
Mennett, republican, has returned
from Toledo where he attended, con-
ference of antitrust leaders. Asked
as to his position on the trust ques-
tien during the coming campaign Mr..
Monnett said that he was the Ohio
member of the National Antitrust
association and as such would do his
duty.
81 do not see how the republican
party can escape punishment this
fall" said he. "The platform of the
republican party in Ohio strongly
condemned the trusts and their I'M
lawful methods. was elected as the
attorney general of Ohio on such q
platform, and as the officer of the
state and representative of the party
I carried out as best I could the plat
form of the party. Yet I was net
supported in this by many of the
leaders and the party organs criticised
me for just what the platform Of my
party pledged me to do. Newspapers
of the state, about 10 of them print
ed paid articles eriticising my actions
and they. too, were party newspapers.
This is not all. The legislature which
has just adjourned, killed the Russell
bill, and the maximum freight bill,
and that. too, by almost a strict party
vote. Will not the people punish the
party for such actions upon the part
of its servantsf The party as such is
not IN sympathy with such methods.
Although the Russell bill was No. 10,
it was side tracked by the trust lob
bIsts and held back until near the
adjournment, and then, over the pro-
test of some Of the hest men Of the
party and almost all of the democrat
ic members, it was defeated. It was
reputation of the party platform
and the sentiment of the party. I can
not believe that we will escape pun
lshment, and I believe it will come
this fall. Why should the party not
be punished when the men who con-
troll it's actions disregard the will of
the people"

Gath says: 81 WAS looking over
the Stock exchange handbook yester-
day, when I came upon the American
Ship Building company as one of the
trusts with Is million dollars of COM
mon stock and Is millions preferred,
which controls the eight important
ship yards up the lakes. Among the
directors are H. NJ. Hanna and L. O.
Hanna. The trust was only formed
in March, 1899. and Immediately
thereaftsr the ship subsidy bill was
introduced in congress and pressed
by Mark Hanna, which is to give 40
million dollars to shipping as pres
ent in order to revive it. As McKin-
ley put his name on paper to buy
coal mines in eastern Ohio, anticIpst-
ing tariff legislation and higher fuel.
so Hanna puts all his kin except his
brother-in-laW into a ship building
trust and stirs to revive shipping"

PRISONERS DON'T KNOW.
This Explains Why They Usually Use Arsenic
or StVchnne.

"A recent newspaper article" said q
physician, called attention 10 two
curious facts, or rather alleged facts,
about pOison-first, that it is 50 seldom
resorted to by murderers, ana, second,
that its use is almost invariably fol-
lowed by detection. One might an
sWer 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? 1t is undeniably true
that there are certain drugs which, If
administered with skill. would be al
most impossible to detect. Their
symptoms are practically identical
with those Of familiar diseases, and q
little while after death they decom-
pose, change form and disappear. 1t
would be possible, too, to inoculate a
victim with the germs Of some deadly
malady. He would then go to his
grave with a real case of consumption
or pneumonia or lockjaW and there
would be nothing to arouse the shadow
of suspicion. | believe firmly that such
crimes are committed and never dis
covered, but l believe also that they
community lies in the fact that so few
murderers possess the requisite skill.
Educated people seldom commit
deliberate murder" continued the doc
tor, land the uneducated mind instnc-
lively associates poison with two sub
stances-arsenic 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,
and being a metallic product, its
traces remain in the body an indefinite
celona, Spain, confessed that she had
poisoned her sister with arsenic fifteen
years before. The grave was opened
and the coffin found to contain nothing
but dust and ashes, but a chemical test
showed Enthusiastically he>presence Of
the drug. Mrs. Maybrick was ac-
cusad of killing her husband with ar
senic, and the test revealed it plainly
in not only the remains. but in certain
medicines. The demonstration was so
conclusive that she finally arose in
court and admitted giving him a
white powder but insisted that she
followed his, own express directions.
One of the most ingenious cases of
poisoning / ever heard of occurred
some years ago in another state. A
young physician plotted to kill a
wealthy farmer. He knew the latter
was taking quinine for a cold. and,
meeting him one day, asked to see

what sized capsules he used. While
pretending to examine them he slipped
in one containing strychnine. The
farmer happened on it nearly a week
later. and he died in commissions. An
autopsy revealed the poison, but the
affair was a deep mystery until the
doctor committed suicide, leaving a
written confession.
1.-THE poisonings that occur in novels
and on the stage are usually very
amusing to Il student of toXicology,
said the physician in conclusion. Il
remember in 'Saml Of Posen.' which
was produced with such success by NJ
b. Curtis, the drummer hero was tenn
porarily knocked out by a poisoned
cigar. He took two or three whiffs
and over he rolled. L would like very
much to know the name of drug that
would produce that sort Of effect.
Nearly all the poisoning in fiction IS
equally surprising. There is n wei
known English romance, in which the
heroine inhales the fragrance OF q
bunch Of roses and instantly fails
dead. Needless to say, the poisoned
perfume is wholly unknown to science
Another story-but l could keep on
citing instances all night. History
isn't much better. Most Of the yarns
of the Borgias and the Medicis are
pure pecially those about
poisoned gloves, poisoned tapers ana
other applications of drugs or things
that are touched or handled. The tale
of the book which was anointed on the
margins with some deadly substance
and killed the person who motstened
his fingers to turn over the leaves has
possibly a foundation of truth. but |
confess | would be puzzled to know
how to prepare such volume. Al
most anything that might be used
would instantly betray itself by lis
taste In the Middle Ages powdered
glass is said to have been q favorite
material with which to doctor food.
and you'll find some interesting data
on the subject in the autobiography Of
Cellini. the goldsmith. Of course pow
dered glass isn't n true poison. 1t
sometimes kills by setting up internal
inflammation. Oftener it has no effect
at all.

Miss Elizabeth Harrison, in speaking
before a woman's club in Chicago re-
Gently, took for her subject the ques
ton, What Lines of Study Shall
Women Pursue in Order that They
May Make of Themselves the Kind of
Women the World Needs?" Take for
example" she said, "the study Of
domestic science. Every woman who
takes upon herself the office of home
maker should understand the recently
developed scientific knowledge Of
cooking. 1t doesn't take money nor
great talent for WOmantO learn what
is wholesome cooking or how to fur
nish her home in a harmonious and
sincere fashion: nor does it take
wealth or talent for her to learn
conscientiously tOsystematize her work
and keep this same home in order and
and free from confusion, and yet there
is no wealth that she can bestow upon
her children. no blessing which she can
give to her husband equal to that Of
making a home such as insight into its
true meaning demands. And the world
now stands in need of conscious
the realization of the
spiritual significance Of that great
word. If the average mother could
only be led to realize that the little
children about her, who sometimes tax
her head and hands to the degree that
she has little or no time for the read
ing of books, are themselves the most
volumes of human nature
ever written, she could grow as no
course or Woman's club
could help her to grow"

An exchange sounds the following
note of warning: Every club or or
ganization suffers somewhat from
those who enjoy its benefits, but do not
pay their part towards its support. But
more clubs are languishing because
of the growing habit of joining more
than one can attend to and so there
are many clubs, leagues, chapters,
etc, which have a large paid-up mem
bership, but whose attendance is re-
duced to a mere handful and the rou-
tine work of preparing programs and
arranging meetings becomes burden
on the faithful few. There must be a
halt in multiplying societies merely for
social purposes and a consolidation or
cooperation of those planned for other
objects"
