Fremont's Ride.

A pretty story is told of how John @.
full news Of his election as senator Of
California in 1850. The balloting of the
delegates took place in San Jose, and
Mrs. Fremont was at Monterey. and as
a season of heavy rains was on there
was but little prospect that her keen
desire to know the result would find
immediate qualification. Before blaz-
ing fire that night sat Fremont's wife,
her fingers for the first time fashioning
a dress for herself on the trustworthy
outlines of one that had been ripped up
for the purpose. Her little daughter
had been put to bed, and her compan-
ions for the evening were the Austria
liam woman who had replaced her two
Indian servitors and her baby playing
on the bearskin rug near the fire.
Besides the voice of the woman and
an occasional chirrup from the baby
she heard nothing but the storm with
out till the door opened and a man,
dripping with rain, stood on the thresh-
old and asked in consideration of his
sorry plight il he might enter. 1t was
Fremont. He had torn himself away
from his idolizing followers and ridden
out into the darkness and storm to tell
his wife, 10 miles away, that he had
been elected to the United States SEN
ate. Though 1t was late in the night
when he reached Monterey, he was in
the saddle again before dawn and on
his way back to San Jose, making in
all ride of 140 miles.-Argonaut.

and determination struggled for the

ping house on Front street one day last

whose appearance spoke the control OF

"Do you want boss, mister?"
"Whatw exclaimed the proprietor,

"The only place, as far as law is con-
cerned, where it costs money to die
from natural causes Is aboard steam
ship" remarked a vessel owner. "The
purpose Of the law was excellent
enough. There was time when emf
grants were being brought to this
country in very large numbers, or by
the shipload.' as 1t was termed. There
is no doubt that there was crowding In
the ships that brought them, and TO
prevent this a.law was passed impos-
ing upon the ship fine Of $40 for
every death that occurred during the
passage from natural causes of per-
sons over 8 years of age. This
put stop to Overcrowding. or, at
least, it is supposed that it did, which
is about the same thing. Ships do not
fancy having to pay fines Of this kind.
"Of course, in comparison with the
great army of persons who are brought
across the ocean from month to month,
there are very few deaths, for the stat.
isticians have been kind enough to
show beyond doubt that the steam
ship is the safest means of transpor-
tation in existence, but, just the same,
there are a considerable number in the
course of year."-Washington Star.

Neither differences Of organization In
animals nor in the constitution Of the
poisonous substance generally afford
any clew for interpreting nm exception
al want of effect. Unacc0untable Is
the immunity of rabbits against bella
donna leaves (Atropa belladonna, dead
~ nightshade). You may feed them
with belladonna for weeks without OBJ
serving the least toxic symptoms. The
meat of such animals, however, proves
poisonous to any one who eats 1t, pro-
ducing the same symptoms as the
plant.
Pigeons and various other herbivora
are also to some degree safe from the
effects of this poison, while in warm
blooded carnivora 1t causes paralysis
and asphyxia. In frogs the effect
is a different one. consisting of spasms.
The meat of goats which had fed on
hemlock has sometimes occasioned
poisonous effects. Chickens are near
~ hardy against nux vomica and the
extremely dangerous alkaloid. strych-
nine, contained in 1t, while in the
smallest amount 1t is a fatal poison to
rodents.
More remarkable yet in this respect
is the immunity of Chol9pus hoffman
nj, a kind of sloth living on the island
of Ceylon, which, when given ten
grains of strychnine, was not much af-
fected. Pigeons are possessed of high
immunity from morphine, the chief al
kaloid of opium, as we'll as from bella
donna. Eight grains were required to
kill a pigeon. not much less than the
mortal dose for man. Cats are ex-
tremely sensitive to foxglove (Digitalis
purpurea), which on the contrary may
be given to rabbits and various birds
in pretty large doses.

KEYSTONE STATE PLUMS.
Quay, PenrOse, and the President
Confer About Appointments.

Senators Penrose and Quay called at
the White House yesterday and had a
conference of more than half an hour
with the President 1t was practically
the first opportunity Senator Quay has
taken TO discuss Pennsylvania appoint
ments with Mr.. Mckinley since his cleo
ton by the Legislature. Only once before
has he called at the White House since
the election and then only to pay his re-
spects.
Yesterday the two Senator'S and the
President discussed a number of appoint
nents to be made from and in the State
of Pennsylvania.
The matter of the selection of Philip c.
Knox as a member of the Cabinet to sue
ceed Attorney General Griggs, Senator
Penrose said, was considered a personal
one with the President and one 10 which
the Pennsylvania Senator'S had no OBJ
lection. Both Senators Quay and Pen
rose approve the proposed nomination of
Mr. Knox although it Is admitted that
they did not ask for it,
The matter was mentioned yesterday AT
the conference, but there viii be no off
cial announcement OF the selection until
Mr. Knox comes here and has talk with
the President. II is understood that there
is an amicable agreement between the
President and the Pennsylvania Senators
regarding the appointments to be accred-
tied to the keystone State.

Gently sentenced to dismissal from the
service. were yesterday approved by the
Judge Advocate and forwarded to Lieu
tenant General Miles for remark. Captain
Schwcnk was tried by court martial in
New York City, on charges alleging that
he had duplicated his pay accounts on
three separate occasions The War De
partment has received several complaints
iu regard to alleged business irregulari-
ties on the part of Captain Schwenk but
ii was not until several weeks ago that

court martial.
Captain Schwenk explained at the trial
that owing to unfortunate business ven
lures he had sustained a loss of 81 G11
which hc claimed he was obliged to make
good from his army pay. General Lieber
approves the findings Of the court. and
after General Miles and the Secretary of
War have passed upon the case the pa
pers win bc sent To- the President for
Hnal action. Because of the splendid rec
ord of Captain SchweuS during the civil
war it is probable that the President may
mitigate the sentence IN some way.
