Cowley says that eight days after the

rich discovery that they made 100 miles

A FRIEND OF TWEED.
Edward Pettinger. Once Rich. Dies
an AImshOuse Pauper.

MOUNT VERNON. y. Y. March 13.-
Edward Pettinger sixty-three years old,
who at one time was one of Mount Yer
mons weaIthiest residents. and one OF
Boss" Tweed's lieutenants. died yester-
day in the almshouse in Eastview an out
cast and a pauper. He was the last sur
viving member of Tweed's famous dinner
and barn dance. which took place thirty
years ago in Mount Vernon.
Pettinger was born of wealthy parents,
who lived in the old Ninth ward, in New
York city After being graduated from
college he went abroad to complete his
education. Upon his return he became a
member of the New York Real Estate Ex-
change. and made reputation as an auc-
tioneer Pettinger became identified with
the Democratic party. and his influence
was recognized by the leaders. He was
the leader of the Ninth ward, and his
strength won for him the position of sher-
ifs auctioneer. Pettinger's business grew
so rapidly that he became wealthy in a
few years.
Later he married the only daughter OF
DR.. Murphy then Health Officer of the
city. This young auctioneer who was
then rolling in wealth. was lavish spend
er. He thought nothing of losing thou
sands of dollars at game of poker. For
years Pettinger was known as the fashion
plate of the Real Estate Exchange.
Thirty years ago when Tweed was in his
element, dinner was given at the home
of Cornelius Carson. his private secretary,
who lived at the corner of Lincoln and
North Fourth Avenue. in Mount Vernon,
which was the most elaborate ever known
&, 81 ancff q
Tweed and Pettinger drove up from New
York city in a stage drawn by eight white
horses In 1870 Pettinger and Dr. Murphy
removed to Mount Vernon and settled on
the old White Pains Road. in West Mount
Vernon They both moved in the best OF
society.
Poker playing, horse racing. and drink
ing were the beginning OF Pettinger' s
downfall. His fortune dwindled away un-
til ten years ago he was left without dol
lar. Mrs Pettinger. who still retained her
money. separated from her husband, TAX
ing their only daughter Anna. His old
friends in Mount Vernon, with whom he
had spent his fortune turned against him
and refused him aid OF late years he was
seen tottering about the streets with the
aid of a cane.
A week ago Pettinger left the scenes OF
his prosperous days and started for the
almshouse at Eastview. He tottered up
the stairs of the building and, with tears
in his eyes, asked Superintendent of the
Poor Eser for a place to die He was ta-
ken in and provided for. AT O'Clock yes
terday morning he awoke with pain in
his side and called for assistance. lmme-
diately after the doctor reached Petting-
er's bed the old man rolled over dead.

causes the death Of cattle that eat it is
the rattlebox or rattleweed. 1t is found
| in meadow grass and bears small yellow
| flowers in the month of July. Its stem is
hairy and the leaves simple and undivided.
II stands from three to eighteen inches
high and is an annual plant. Two plants
which are dangerous to inexperienced
householders. although not ranked as
acute poisons. are the caper spurge and
snow on the mountain
One of the commonest and yet most dis
| agreeable plants to come in contact with
is the poison ivy 1t is known in various
parts of the country as poison oak, poison
vine, three leaved ivy, poison creeper, mer-
curry or markry, black mercury, nav
weed. and pickry.
The description OF the plant and its
whereabouts is given by Mr. Chestnut in
his report as follows: The poison ivy is
| climbing or trailing shrub tsometimes
erect, with variable three foliate leaves,
aerial rootlets and greenish flowers, ap-
| pearing in May and June. The smooth,
waxy white fruit often remains on the
! plant until late i'm the winter. The leaves
often resemble those Of the box elder. They
| differ from those Of the Virginia creeper
in having only three leaflets instead of five.
Poison ivy grows everywhere in open
biuSU. III fdNlDeS. anu Oh lllt Vi
woods, and il is spread along roadsides and
cultivated fields from seeds carried by
crows woodpeckers and other birds that
feed upon its fruit in winter. Through ig-
norauce or carelessness and at the immi-
nent risk of causing great bodily discom-
fort TO many persons, this vine is some
times planted about suburban and even
city residences for the sake of ornament.
II occurs wild in abundance throughout the
United States as far west as eastern Texas,
eastern Kansas, and Minnesota, and in
greater or less abundance throughout the
less arid region of the West. with the eX-
ceptiOn OF California and the western parts
of Oregon and Washington.
Recent experiments made by Or. Franz
Pfatf of the Harvard University Medical
School. have shown thai the poison is
