A FAMOUS CLIPPER.
Once in Baltimore Fleet, Now a Coal
Barge.


Recently the Mary Whitridge, once
a proud Baltimore clipper, went OUT OF
port touching nautical picture, as she
reluctantly held on to towboat's haw-
ser. She is now unsightly in shape and
grimy in color, her decks are covered
with coal dust, and she is a battered
old hulk, which has almost outlived her
usefulness except as a coal barge.
That same old hulk was the most
famous of Baltimore clippers, and was
built in this city in 1855 She was the
crack ship of the world-famous fleet
of Thomas Whitridge's China clippers
and South American traders. In the
tea trade the gallant ship made a won
derfully quick voyage from the land of
the Orient, and beat all competitors
Every week or two the barge Des-
soug comes into port to load coal. She
was once palatial steamer, and was
built for the Khedive of Egypt in 1864
and named the Denton. At that time
she was considered one of the fastest
and most beautifully appointed vessels
afioat, and the Khedive enjoyed her
immensely for a while. But he got
tired of her, and in 1879 William H.
vanderbilt bought her to transport the
Obelisk from Egypt to Central Park.
New York. The Obelisk, which weighs
1876 tons, was far from the shore line
and buried, besides, deep in the sand.
1t was altogether too heavy for or
binary machinery to be used. and it
was carried down on immense Mat
forms, with cannon balls under them
for rollers. Then it was placed on a
CRIB liked on a ponoon. The pontoon
and ship were lifted in craving dry
DOCK head on to each other, and when
tnls had been accomplished a hole
twenty feet long and twelve feet high
was cut in the starboard bow of the
boat below the water line. Through
this the great stone was rolled into
the hold of the ship on groove hay
Ing an improved ball-bearing attach
ment also made of cannon balls. In
side the Obeiisk was braced along the
keelson, and stout shorings fixed about
II to make it immovable. Before the
stone could be taken from the vessels
hold she had to be cut open again.
The vessel is now owned by the Ameri-
can Tawing Company, of this city, and
was overhauled at the shipyard of r.
M. Speddin. She is one of the largest
oarges on the coast, being 233 feet
long, thirty-two feet wide and registers
1882 tons.-New York Sun.

this role in mild way in st. Pauls

cases of the politicians and in the pres
ence of President Harrison but his ex-

WARNED BY PROF. BARNES.
Difference Between Mushrooms and
Toadstoois.


] Professor G. r. Barnes of the Uni
versity of Chicago. form rly Of Madi
son, referring to recent cases o,
! poisoning by toadstools, says
IF people want to eat mushrooms
and not run any danger of being
poisoned they ought to be instructed
as to the different kinds. There is
one safe kind, called the pasture,
which is not difficult to distinguish.
The gills are usually more or less
free from the stem. They never grow
boldly against it or run down it.
They may sometimes just touch the
spot where the stem joins the bottom
of the cap. The stem is firm, slightly
pithy up the middle, but never hollow.
On being cut or broken the flesh re-
mains white or nearly so''
Another authority says: The poison
Gus mushrooms, or sC-called toad
stools, may be grouped in two classes:
~ Those containing minor or ir-
ritant poisOns, which act locally on
the stomach (2) those contain
ing major poisons, which act on the
nerve centers after ABSORPTION, caus-
ing symptoms to appear long time
after the poison has been taken and
often terminating fatally.
The first kind simply make one
vomit as soon as they are eaten.
They may make one feel exceedingly
sick. but they are relatively harmless.
But the second group is composed of
the deadly poisonous amanitae, three
in number. In poisoning by the
deadly toxic amanitae vomiting and
purging may also occur as prominent
symptoms, but generally only occur
late-ten to fifteen hours after eating
the toadstool-and are due to the
action of the poison on the nerve
centers. 1t is exceedingly un-
fortunate that these deadly poisonous
toadstools do not give some warning
either in an unpleasant taste or con-
tain an irritant which would act
locally to cause vomiting and purga-
ton, for in that case the patient
such large quantities were absorbed
and fatal poisoning would be less
frequent
1t can be seen that the test
Of tasting the juices after stewing is
dangerous. If a person should stew
mess of amanitae for an hour it
would have no effect on the poison,
the mushrooms would taste all right,
and the person would feel sick till
ten or twelve hours later. when sud-
denly, without warning, he would be
attacked with cramp-like pains in the
extremities, colicky pains in the
abdomen, burning thirst, vomiting
and purging, from which he would
gradually sink into Inconsistencies
and death
There are no sweeping rules to test
fungi. You simply have to know
what an amanita looks like aud not
eat it. Your writer states that in
picking new variety of mushrooms
you should choose the youngest and
smallest. This. too, is apt to be
fatal, since. when the different
varieties are in the young bud state,
1t is In many cases almost impossible
to distinguish the poisonous from the
edible.

PROPOSED BIG DAM AND
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT

Denver, Oct 15.-The News this
morning says that within the next few
days articles of Incorporation will be
filed with the secretary Of state by "a
company which proposes to light all
the cities, towns and mining camps in
the Clear Creek mining district with
electricity. The electricity will be pro-
duced by water power from Il 25O-foot
fall of water. A huge reservoir will
be constructed at the junction of the
Grand and Frazier rivers, near Hot
sulphur Springs, Grand county, to cost
100000. Il. A. Lee is the engineer.
He submitted the plans for the dam
yesterday to State Engineer A. ]. Nc
Cune and they We're approved The
reservoir will be $40 feet long, seventy
five feet high, and will form lake .
100 acres in area. A fiume will be run
nine miles down the river to secure the
drop of $50 feet for the power.
Georgetown. Black Hawk, Silver
Plume and Idaho Springs are the prin-
cipal points the company proposes TO
reach. An effort will he made to eN-
tend the wires to the Ward and Eldora
mining camps. A feature Of the dam
will be that it will save the spring
waste of water and hold it back until
the summer and fall. when there is
scarcity of it for irrigation purposes
This greatly increases the value OF
farming lands below the reservoir, as
it will insure at all seasons sufficient
supply Of water for all irrigation pur-
poses. -

The death is announced at Genoa, at
the age OF SO, of Pierre Maurier, a
Frenchman, who lived on the Island OF
Elba when Napoleon took UP his COM
pulsory residence there in April, 1874.
Pierre remembered hearing the news
towards the end OF February, 1915, that
the Emperor. with over 1000 followers,
had sailed away in feluccas bound for
Provence. The lad used to carry eggs
and fruit to the kitchen OF the EN-
peror and one day that famous poten-
tate caught him stoning a dog and
sharply reproved him. Maurier was
presented to Victor Emmanuel in 1863
and the King was much interested
when he heard from Pierre's own lips
his memories OF the great Napoleon.

Figures may not lie. but they are
often disappointing. Census figures.
especially, are apt to fall. below what
is expected Of them. The recent CEN
sus of Canada shows population OF
5,33S 1893, which is an increase of $685.
bS4 over the total Of 1891. The gain OF
about ten per cent in ten years seems
to many Canadians a meager result of
decade OF prosperity, and of energetic
efforts to promote immigration. But it
is the rule nowadays mat city popu-
lations grow faster than rural. and
Canada has few cities. Only eighteen
places in the Dominion have more
than ten thousand inhabitants But
there remains the consolation that not
all the elements of national greatness
are measured by count Of heads.
