Great Disappointment.

Last night being the time for visit
by appointments, of Model Chapter
to visit Valley Chapter No. 26, Order
of Eastern Star, of this city, great prep
aratlon having been made by Valley
Chapter to give the members of Modale
Chapter grand reception. Our Chap
ter met at all early hous, and waited
until about 8:30p. m for their coming,
when telephone message was receiv-
ed stating that the Modale Chapter had
concluded NOT TO COME! To say
that the members of Valley Chapter
were disappointed is not half telling
the the tale; they felt that the word:
not coming" was at least two DAYS
late, but after consultation, having
made arrangements for pleasant time
they concluded that no small matter
should prevent them from consuma
ton of their hope, SO proceeded to the
usual regular business, and after con-
fering degrees, &C., the Chapter was
closed. This part of the programme
being completed, the Chapter adjourn
ed to the banquet hall where sump-
tuous repast had been prepared as only
the ladies of Valley Chapter know
how to prepare, and some fifty ladies
and gentlemen were seated at the four
tables, where ample justice was done
to the good things set before them
After supper, the tables were re-
moved from the hall and soon the light
fantastic toe was being tripped to the
merry sound of the piano. and was
kept up until late hour. The occa-
sion, although IN part . sad disappoint-
ment, was a very pleasant one, and
our Modale friends can never know
what real pleasure they missed by not
keeping their appointment with Valley
Chapter.

M. Pietro Pel.egrini, an Italian
scientist, has lately published the re-
suits of his researches upon mush-
rooms of the poisonous variety, of
which the resume may be given: The
poison of mushrooms dissolves easily
in water and the aqueous extract keeps
its toxic properties for a long time,
these having been strongly marked at
the end of eleven months The pois-
onous action is not diminished by the
drying of the mushrooms by heat.
Mammals and birds show great sensi-
bility to the poison. even in feeble
doses, but on the contrary it is with
out effect upon cold FLOODED animals.
The ACTION is shown very clearly when
il is injected under the skin; animals,
when subjected to frequent injections
of this kind, acquire certain i'm
munlty, and the serum of these ami
mails may be used as a remedy in cases
of poisoning.

THE SUFFERING Is INTENSE.
Eight Hundred People In Legation
Without Food or Water.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Shanghai
and Yokohama newspapers received by
the American steamer Maru give some
interesting facts regarding the situation
in China and Japan. OF the position of
the foreign colony in the British lega-
ton The Japan Mail of Yokohama says:
"This is time when to live in Peking
at all is to suffer terribly from heat.
With 800 foreigners, including many
women and children, crowded in the
British legation, and exposed to the con-
slant rife fire of the Chinese, the misery
must be great.
1.-THE provision question is the worst
There are no ice plants in the foreign
legations and they have been accustomed
to depending upon the Chinese markets
for their daily supplies of beef and NUT
ton. A certain quantity of preserved
provisions were doubtless in stock in the
Hotel dc Picking, but nothing to feed so
large q number as 800."

British Minister Heard From.

LONDON, July 24.-The foreign Office
has received dispatch from the British
consul at Tien Tsin, dated July 81, stat
ing that he had just received letter
from Sir Claude Macdonald, the. British
minister at Picking, dated July IA, ap-
pealing for relief. There were enough
provisions at the legation to la. : a fort
night, the letter said, but the garrison
was unequal to the task of holding out
against a determined attack for many
days. There has been ID deaths and
about double that number wounded.
The foreign office thinks that the dis
patch does not affect the main question
of the reported massacre of members of
the legation at Picking.
