NEW USE FOR COAL DUST.
Somebody Apparently Selling It Widely
 in Place of Antimony.

in Place of Antimouy.
 A rural chemist has accidentally dls- covered curious case of adulteration, or, more accurately, of substitution in the matter of a drug commonly sold in pharmacies, rural and urban. The drug is the tfi-sulphide of antimony, commonly known as black antimony. The chemist in analyzing patent remedy discovered that the Ingredients nearly corresponded with those in a formula furnished by the Agricultural department but that coal dust had been substituted for black antimony. Struck with this discovery, the chemist obtained twelve samples of black anti mony, most of them from druggists in his own neighborhood, but one from New York, of these, only one was really black antimony; the others were coal dust, coal dust and chalk or coal dust and sand. There is no reason to suppose that the druggists knew of the substitution, for there would be little profit in the deception unless it were practieed on large scale; but 1t
 
 chemist is selling a worthless substi ute for black antimony. Indeed the substitute may be sent out from more than one factory, for while the dozen samples tested came from the eastern coast, the remedy in which the sub stitution was originally detected came from the west. The New York drug gist who sold sample of the substi ute does business in fashionable quarter where there is a considerable demand for black antimony on the part of grooms and coachmen, who use it in the preparation of condition pow ders for horses Two other druggists in the same neighborhood do not keep black antimony. One of them keeps what is known as red antimony, which is chemically identically with black antimony though different in appear ance. Red antimony is a product Of chemical precipitation, while black antimony Is natural product found in many parts of Europe. in Nova Scotia aad Nevada.

Hon. VIM. NJ. klncaid, Chairman;
Hon. w. w. Beall, Hon. Louis
Bennett, Hon. W. Scott, Committee
of Notification.
Gentlemen.-
In reply TO your favor, advising me
Of my nomination for Congress at the
hands of the Democratic party Of the
First Congressional district, which
reached Clarksburg in my absence, it
is with mingled feeling of gratitude
and regret that | write to say that it
will be impossible for me to accept
the honor so handsomely rendered me.
| have the most profound apprecia.
tion Of the trust and confidence repos-
ed in me by my Democratic friends,
and desire through your committee to
thank the delegates TO your conyen-
ton, for their compliment, as well as
the people and press of the district for
the very generous support which has
been pledged to me. / decline the
nomination reluctantly, since it makes
of no avail to me the kind and earnest
efforts of my friends in this behalf,
but in justice to myself | must say
that from the time when my name
was first mentioned in this connec-
ton, | have frankly declared to all
my friends, who approached me in
regard 10 it, that matters of bust
ness nature demanding all my time
and involving not my interests alone,
but those of Others associated with
and relying upon me, would render it
impossible for me to become a candl-
date, however much | would like to
serve my party.
1t is no false assumption of modesty
on my part which leads me to add
that am confident the Democrats Of
the district can easily find in their
ranks other gentlemen much better
able than | to serve them in this ca
pacity, and in this campaign as here
tofore | shall continue to give my best
! efforts and cooperation to the success
of the Democratic ticket.
With great respect, | remain,
Very truly yours,
T. M. JACKSON.

Hon. william L. Wilson's Sentiments

Following is the text OF the letter
OF Hon. w. l.. Wilson read before
the Democratic meeting at Shep
herdstown Wednesday:
! am very grateful for the invita-
ton which you extended to me in
the name of the inter State political
gathering at Morgan's Grove, to at
tend and address the people on the
issues of the day on either the 9Th
or 9th of September. 1t would give
me much pleasure to accept this invi-
tation, but is impossible for me to
do so. The condition of my health
is, regret to say, such as TO make
even a journey to Jefferson unad-
svisahle. and public speaking beyond
my physical capacity. Long before
it became an issue dividing political
parties / took strong grounds in ad
dresses before students of this uni
versitv. and in a set speech before
the Georgia Legislature, against
any colonial or imperial policy on
the part Of our government as re
suit of our war with Spain. My
views are stronger than ever against
such policies, and did opportunity
permit, | should be glad to express
those views on the platform at Nor
gan's Grove.
