The FUF camp near the ferry is GER
tainly one of the prettiest and best
equipped camps ever designed for the
purpose OF housing and caring for a
large number of people. 1t is prettily
located in the grove near the ferry and
easily accessible to both the railroad
stock yards where the sale is held ana
the town. The tents are large enough
to accommodate big crowds and all are
brand new. The refreshment tent is
fitted with complete bar room, tables
and desks for the transaction of bust
ness. The dining tent will easily seat
SO people and the kitchen, adjoining,
is fitted up with everything needful for
cooking. Sleeping tents and cots COM
plete the camp. A we'll was sunk Just
back Of the kitchen and furnishes
water for the camp. Thornton & Chois-
ser have the contract for conducting
the place and have spared no expense
to make it the best.
Owing to dissatisfaction on the pro-
gress of the sale on both sides, Col
Gallup, the auctioneer, announced
yesterday afternoon that no more hors-
es would be knocked down to the high
est bidder and that the connection Of
Mr.. Cooper with the sale would cease
then and there. This was the result
of an agreement reached between the
of ~
Cooper. The prices at which some
very desirable horses were sold was a
source of dissatisfaction to the Fletcher
Bros, and the fact that deliveries could
not be made fast enough to suit his es-
pectations displeased Mr.. Cooper,
! hence the sudden stop in the proceed
| ings.
Mr.. Longley was seen by NEWs

di fficult matter to handle stock at tie

Tenements in London.

During the past fifty years London mu-
inequalities have constructed dwellings con-
tanning some 6,132 rooms whilst organized
private action has, in the same period,
provided buildings containing 30 4a2 rooms.

it does not take into account certain semi
suburban dwellings. and could not take

ARSENIC FACTORIES.
Habits Acquired by the People Who
Work in Them.

H"oits acquired by the People Who
Work in Them.
From Science Gossip.
White arsenic is the form in which
arsenic is taken by the peasants of Syria
and the Tytol. Prof. SchalIgrueber of
Gaetz was the first to call attention to this
practice, in report which he made in 1872
to the Austrian government on the cause
OF the numerous deaths from arsenic poi
soning in those districts. He found that
arsenic was kept in most of the houses in
Upper Styrfa under the name of 'hydrach"
evidently a corruption of "huttenrauch,"
or furnace smoke. His statements made
We're subsequently confirmed from per
sonal observation by a Dr. McClagan of
Edinburgh. but for many years afterward
the arsenic eaters were generally disbe-
lleVed in; and it was not till 1860 that c.
Heisch published convincing evidence
Arsenic is principally eaten by hunters
and woodcutterS, with the object of ward
ing off fatigue and improving their staying
powers. Owing to the fact that the sale
of arsenic is Illegal in Austria without a
doctors certificate it is difficult to obtain
de finite information Of habit which is kept
as secret as possible. According to a DR..
Lorenzo. in that district the arsenic is
taken fasting, usually in cup of coffee.
the first dose being minute. but increased
day by day, until it sometimes amounts to
the enormous dose of u or - grains He
found that the arsenic eaters were usually
lOng-lived, though liable to sudden death.
They have a very fresh. youthful appear
arce and are seldom attacked by infectious
diseases
After the first dose the usual symptoms
of slight arsenic poisoning are evident but
these soon disappear continuing the
treatment.
In the arsenic factories in Salzberg il is
stated that workmen who are not arsenic
eaters soon succumb to the fumes The
manager of one of these works informed
Mr. Heisch that he had been medically ad-
vised to eat arsenic before taking up his
position He considered that no one should
begin the practice before twelve years old
nor after thirty. and that in any case after
fifty years of age the daily dose should be
gradually reduced, since otherwise sudden
death would enSue. If a confirmed arsenic
eater suddenly attempts to do altogether
without the drug he immediately succumbs
to the effects of arsenic poisoning The
only way to obviate this is gradually to ac-
climatze the system by reducing the dose
from day to day. AS another evidence of
the cumulative properties of arsenic 1t is
interesting to note that when the grave
yards in Upper Styria are opened the bodies
of the arsenic eaters can be distinguished
by their almost perfect state of preserva-
tion. due to the gradually accumulated
arsenic.

Flower Girls of Vienna.

The thirty flower girls who recently in-

A PEERS PRIVILEGE.
If Doomed to Execution He May De-
mand n SillSen Cord.


mand a Silken Cord.
From the st. James Gazette.
Peers have many privileges besides that
of being tried by. brother peers If any
member of the house of lords ever should
find himself at the foot of the scaffold he
may demand to be hanged with siken
cord. Lord Ferrers was the last peer to
avail himself of this last privilege Of all.
He was hanged at Tyburn in 1760 for the
atrocious murder of his steward. and his
execution was one of the most remarkable
judicial ceremonies ever witnessed in Eng
land. He was a man OF great conceit, even
with the brand of Cain upon him, and was
conveyed to the gallows wearing his we'd
ding clothes in a landau drawn by six
horses, escorted by parties of horse and
foot Behind came a hearse and six horses
for the purpose of taking the corpse from
the place of execution to Surgeons Hall,
where 1t was disSected.
Lord Ferrer's death agony was prolonged,
to please his own vanity, for nearly three
hours. That was the length of time occu-
pied by the procession to the gallows in
which the police, grenadiers and the sher-
iff took part. THE apparatus of death
remarked the condemned man on the way
"and the passing through such crowds of
people are ten times worse than death it
self, but | suppose they never saw a lord
hanged, and perhaps they will never see
another He complained that the king
had not allowed him to die on the spot
where his ancestor. the Earl of Essex
died in the time of Elizabeth, and thought
it hard that he should have to die at the
same place as common felon. To com
pensate himself he had the scaffold hung
with black at his own expense and was
pinioned with black sash but scaffolds
are no respecters of persons, and the dead
body of the murderer early dangled on the
silken cord as if it We're piece of com
mon rope.
Lord Ferrers was right in supposing that
the people would never see the execution
OF another lord. He was the last of the
peerage to die on the gallows But he was
not by any means the first. Two centuries
before Lord Stourton had been hanged for
the murder of a man and his son under
very aggravated circumstances He was
hanged in a silken halter at Salisbury and
in spite Of the manner Of his death. his
monument was erected in a cathedral, of
that city, with halter thrown over it,
Lord Sanquhar was another peer to suffer
the laws last penalty. He murdered a fenc-
ing master who in a fencing contest had
gouged out the peers eye. Does the man
still iive?" asked Henry " of France when
Lord Sanquhar related the incident to him.
