DRANK ALCOHOL
 IN HIS COFFEE City Prisoner at Anniston Meets
 a Peculiar Death GREW ILL ON THE STREETS Poor Fellow Was Taken to His Home ! and Died Few Hours Later-His Wife Knows Nothing of the
 Poisonous Mixture.

Anniston, April R.--(Special.)-A city prisoner died here this afternoon at 1 o'clock under very strange circumstances.
 George A. Dane, white, was working out sentence on the streets of the city. This morning his wife brought his break fast to him. including a bottle of liquid supposed to have been coffee, but which, it afterwards transpired, was coffee mixed with wood alcohol. The man drank it and went to work. About o'clock he became very i'll and was taken to the po- lice station. Afterwards he was carried to his home, corner of Brown and Four teenth streets, where at 1 o'clock he died.
 His wife claims she knows nothing of the matter, but that she made the coffee in skillet oyer a fire made with green wood. and she thought possibly something may have been in the skillet that made her husband sick. A great deal of mys- tery surrounds the strange case and an investigation of the matter is now being made by the police.
 The couple were out of money and lived in humble home Danes parents live at Jasper. He and his wife came here last December and since then the man has been working at one of the pipe works here and later had been acting as an agent to have pictures enlarged.

THE PAPER TRUST
 INCREASES COST International Company Failed to Realize Expected Economies SALARIES WERE INCREASED Manager of New York Times Talks of Consolidation and Its Effects To
 Members of the industrIai
 Commission.
SALARIES WERE INCREASED

Washington, April R.-The manufae- ture of the news print paper of the coun- try was the subject of inquiry on the part Morris, business manager of the New York Times being the witness, MT, Nor ris devoted his attention especially to the International Paper Company.
 T will assert" he said, that the In- ternational Paper Company has failed in every expectation it held out to the news papers and to the public. The cost of manufacture is greater under consolida- tion than under individual ownership of the paper mills. The economies which were to be obtained under the consoii- dated management have not been real ized The export trade has fallen off, or at least has not increased though that was to be the strong feature of the con- solidated companies effort. The promised policy of an enlightened sslf-interest has been abandoned and the net result to newspaper publishers has been an in- crease of over s4. 900 per annum in the cost of news print paper"
 He placed the output of newspaper in the paper at s2s, coo, 900 jeaf year. MT. Nor ris said the president of the consolidation is paid $50,000 a year a manufacturers sal- aries have increased from $7,5o0 to Sl6.0o0.
 
 the spruce lands owned by the company, the area secured in the United States bringing the aggregate up to 1900 square miles while 2000 square miles of this land are controlled in Canada.
 There had otherwise been an increase in freight rates. All told he placed the en- hancement of the cost price of producing paper at 8 per ton. He knew of two newspapers which were paying an in- crease of S1b0,000 each annually on the paper used by them. MT. Norris gave the daily output of news print paper at 2o6g tons. of which the International Company furnished 120o tons, while the mills of the company have capacity of 1876 tons per day. and said that there Is a constant in- crease of producing capacity outside of that company, notwithstanding the boast of the International Company that it owned all paper water powers and ell available spruce lands.
 Mir. Norris attributed the recent increaso in the price of paper to four causes. namely To the Spanish-American war, the South African war, the drouth of 1soo and 1900 and the attempt of the Interna~ tional Company to monopolize the spruce lands. To meet the last difficulty he sug- gested that the relations with Canada should be promoted in order that the practically inexhaustible pulp supply of that country might be drawn upon. H6 asserted that the International Company had opposed Canadian reciprocity, and the result had been Canadian reprisals. He advocated the removal of the tariff on wood pulp as in the interest of ell classes.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE CANAL TREATY United States and Great Britain
 Getting Together PROGRESS IS VERY SLOW It Is Believed That Lord Pauncefote Will Take Document With Him When He Sails for Europe
 In June.
 

New York, April 12.-A special to the Herald from Washington says:
 Active negotiations are in progress be- tween the United States and Great Bri- tain relative to the Isthmian Canal treaty agreement. If 1t can be accomplished Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote will arrange draft of the treaty before the departure of President Mckinley and his Cabinet on their Western trip. It seems to be the impression, however, that the matter will not be determined before that time, but that when Lord Pauncefote sails for England in June he will take with him the draft agreed upon with Secretary Hay.
 'Just how far the negotiations have proceeded cannot be ascertained, but enough is known to indicate that the ad- ministration is confident a convention will be signed which will receive the approval of the Senate though not perhaps with out a struggle. The basis of negotiations has been agreed upon and an active in- terchange of views has occurred.
 Great Britain has shown disposition to supercede the Clayton Bulwer treaty, it is said, by reliable authority, but as condition she desires the insertion of ar- ticles specifically reiterating the prohibi- tions against occupation, colonization or assumption or any dominion whatever over any part of Central America by either the United States or Great Brit ain as set forth in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
 Great Britain considers the Senate amendment which reserves to the United States the right of taking any measures 1t may find necessary to secure by its own forces the defense of the United States of greater importance than the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The amendment is altogether too vague and she would prefer that the United States be more specific She also favors the ob- servance of the general principle of neu- trality as set forth in Article of the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty which was stricken out by the Senate.
 There is disposition in quarters not immediately connected with the negotla- leading up to the submission of a propo- sition that in return for an abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty this govern ment will make concessions in Alaska. There have been frequent rumors of this character, but it can be stated emphau- cally that the President and Secretary Hay will, under no circumstances, alien ate one foot of American territory, and such a proposition, If submitted, will te immediately rejected"

"Cannot Say Enough. !"

The expression, 1T cannot say enough" has tallen from the lips of many grateful persons, as it fell from those of a lady residing in Sangerville, Me-, in the course of conversation had with her last spring.
 But I shall never forget how much significance her manner gave an ex- pression SO familiar.
 E She was, indeed, grateful.
 It was interesting to hear her tell how she had been troubled by a per- sistent foe five long years.
 When she told me that there had been punches on her neck so sore that she could not bear to have them touched. however lightly, and that her throat had also been affected, recog- niEed the persistent foe as an ancient foe of the race, that sometimes makes havoc of the whole system, dis6guring the face, wasting the muscles, corrod- ing the bones, causing eruptions, in- damed eyelids, sore ears, general de- bility and consumption, commonly beginning it's attack in punches on the neck, otherwise known as glandular tumors -i in a word, that the per sistent foe was scrofula.
 And 1t was scrofula, and nothing else.
 She tried again and again to rid her self of it, and her failure to do so troubled her exceedingly, for she had learned that the disease is progressive it always grows worse and she feared surgical operation might be necessary for the removal of the punches.
 And It might have been submitted to had not Hoods Sarsaparilla been recommended to her.
 She wisely concluded to see if there was any virtue in this medicine, if 1t would cure her.
 "The first bottle," she said to me, relieved all the soreness of the punches on my neck, and the second entirely removed the punches them selves. Hoods sArsarGriila radically and permanently cured me, and when l praise 1t, as 1 do gratefully fol my release - for such regard it-I can. not say enough"

BOSTON GIRLS
Ride Astride Horses-plvIded Skirts
 Worn With Bloomers.

Boston, Mass, April 8.-At next weeks horse show ten Boston young women, of good family will ride their mounts astride. Nor is this departure from Boston's conservative tenets in the matter of horseback riding for women mere fad. Some 150 Boston women of refinement and culture are now riding this way, and are all en- thusiastic defenders of what they re- gard as the only sensible mode of enjoying the exercise.
 The young women who will intro duce this style of riding at the horse show are Miss Vickery, a daughter of Dr. Vickery, of 263 Beacon street Miss Hoffman, Miss Harrington, the Misses Sheafe, of Newbury street; Miss Chamberlain, Miss Crosby, Miss Thorndike, Miss Deland and Miss Smith.
 Other well-known women who now ride in this fashion are: Mrs. Potter, the wife of Dr. Potter, of Brookline; Miss Dewey. the daughter of Professor Dewey; Miss Hooper, of Gardner Road, Brookline; Miss Wing, the sis ter of Dr. Wing. of Jamaica Plain; Miss North of Brookline, and Miss AeSSu VI iH a<ShtSpul6 oHudLS, DOoIOu besides a number of girls from Miss Chamberlain's school, several from Lasell Seminary and Wellesley Col lege, and many from Newton. West Newton and other Boston suburbs.
 All these women are able to give very intelligent reason for the cross saddle faith that is in them.
 One says: "Of course, much of the look of the thing depends upon the habit. It is made much after the pat tern of the divided skirt worn by the wheelwomen, and the waist follows the fashion in riding habits. The skirt just escapes the ground when the wearer Is riding. It is gathered with band at the waist so that there is a slight fullness.
 Patent hooks may be added down the opening in back and front to the hem, and by means of these the skirt can be easily closed when ths rider is of the horse. Boomers of the same material are worn, of course"
