FOR VACATION SCHOOLS.
An Appeal for Assistance From the
 New Haven Public.

An Appeal for Assistance From the New Haven Public.
 The committee on vacation schools
 and playgrounds makes again, as 1t
 has for the last three years, an appeal
 to those who are already planning for
 season of rest and change, to give
 from their abundance, something to
 help make arvacation for the children of the crowded parts of our city.
 This work which is preventive and educational, has appealed so strongly
 to New Haveners that each year the committee has been able to do more
 than in the preceding year. This sum
 mer they earnestly beg the many who have given in times past, and those who have not yet given, to do their share towards bringing to those who most need 1t, the saving influence of quiet and healthful recreation, of con- genial and helpful occupation, of good reading, of refined surroundings and of few glimpses of the country and the sea. That Is what the summer schools and playgrounds have meant to those who In years gone by have found the vacation months time of likeness, amidst surroundings which afford only noise and confusion, with nothing to break the monotony of the long weary days. That such summers mean q dis tinct loss of much of the good gained from the school training during the winter 1t Is not necessary to point out.
 It Is hoped that this year in addition 10 the three playgrounds and the To nd f,,1 In, ha der school, another school of equal size may be opened in the same general districts as the Wallace street play ground. This will draw the older chill dren from the yard (where the number last year sometimes reached nearly 300) and give more opportunity for work among the little ones. It is expected also to enlarge the domestic training course in the Zunder school.' Last summer a bed room was furnished and lessons given each day In the proper care of such 0 room But this was only be- for the complete plan includes a living room, with lessons in the table washing dishes. etc. For the Wallace street playground, the need of q bath similar to that in the Eunder yard, was very strongly felt. The use of the shower and the tub al- ready in the building will no doubt be grapted if funds will allow of a wo- man being hired 10 be in charge.
 To do all this the committee must have more money. A year ago $1,200 was asked and received This year $1,500 is needed to oarry on the work; surely not large sum to bring joy and in- spiration to over 1000 children.
 Even the smallest contribution Is more than welcome. One dollar will pay for one childs vacation. Money may be sent to the treasurer, Mrs. Leo Herz, 11S Edwards street.

CHESS MATCH. A DRAW.
Americans Were Unable to Hold Thei
 Lead

Americans Were Unable to Hold Their
 Lead. The wind-up of the third internation- al cable chess match Saturday between the American and English universities proved great disappointment to the Yankee students, who struggled for two days in the theater of the Knick- orbo6ker 4. c. in New York to recover the Rice trophy, won twice by the Eng lishmen. With two games captured on Friday and no perceptibe disadvan- tages on the remaining boards, .he match appeared practically won by tie Americans when play was resumed or Saturday morning. The result, how ever, was tie, each team having two victories and two draws to its credit.
 Tn the international contests the Americans have now won seven and lost eleven and the Englishnlen have won eleven and lost seven.

j. t. SPENCE INDICTED.
Charged With Murder of Little Negro
Girl Mt WaresborO.

Waycross, Ga, April 1S.-Among the
true bills returned by the grand jury is
one charging J. T. Spence, better known
as Dock" Spence, with the murder of
the little negro girl who was shot on
the night of Rohinson's circus in the
town of Waresboro. The show had exhib-
tied here on Dec. II, last year. and as
the night train rolled into Waresboro
some one fired a pistol, or probably sew
eral pistols were fired. The little negro
girl was hit in the abdomen and as a
result of her wounds died in a short
while.
At the coroner's jury, Messrs. T. ].
Sears and Ephraim McLendon were
charged with the crime. The former was
arrested and gave bond, and the latter
kept out of the way until a day or two
ago, when he came to town and gave
himself up to Sheriff T. j. Mcclellan.
The finding of this bill was a surprise
to a great many.
Young Spence gave bond of 81 900, and
his friends claim that when the case
comes to trial he VIII have no trouble in
proving his innocence. 1t is claimed that
the bill was obtained by false and mali
cious swearing on the part of persons
who wanted to get even"

TO BE NO STRIKE ON COMBINE
Agreement Reached at MckeespOrt
to Hold Until July 4.

to Hold Until July L.
Pittsburg, April 1s.-There will be no
strike in the pants of the American Sheet
Steel Company. The trouble that broke
out in the Devices wood plant in 'McKees-
port last week, and for which a strike
was threatened of all union iron and steel
workers in the country, has been settled
in an amicable manner.
An agreement was reached to reinstate
the men Claimed to have been discharged
for joining the union, and to maintain eN-
isting scale and other working conditions
until July l, 1901.
In explanation of this agreement, it was
stated that the matter will remain in ex-
actly the same position as before the
trouble broke out. The organization of
the local association of the Amalgamated
Association among the employees of the
mill will be continued, though the com
pany will not recognize it in any way in
dealing with the men The Amalgamated
Association stated that they did not wish
the company to recognize their organiza-
ton at present, and simply asked the
company to allow the men to do as they
pleased and act with freedom when out
side of the mill The company officials,
on the other hand, say that so long as
the local association among their men
does not try to force recognition and the
men work under the personal agreement
with them they would not allow any feel
ing against the men. Both sides are
satisfied that the strike that has existed
for a week has in reality according to
the officers on both sides been due entire
ly to a misunderstanding between the two
sides of the dispute.
The settlement will bring the matter 10
an issue, 1t is said. when the scale for
the coming year is brought up for settle
ment.

Arsenic Eaters.
From Science Gossip.

From Science Gossip
White arsenic is the form in which ar
senic is eaten by the peasants of Syria.
and the Tyrol Prof. SchalIgrueber of
Graetz, was the first to call attention to
this practice, in a report which he made
in 1922 to the Austrian government on the
cause of the numerous deaths from ar
senic poisoning in those districts. He
found that arsenic was kept in most Of
the houses in Upper Syria under the
name of 'hydrach," evidently a corrup-
ton of "huttenrauch or furnace
smoke. His statements were subse-
quently confirmed from personal
observation by DR.. Michigan, of Edin-
burgh, but for many years afterward the
arsenic eaters were generally disbe-
lieved 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 stay
ing power Owing to the fact that the
sale of arsenic is illegal in Austria with
out doctors certificate it is difficult TO
obtain definite information of a habit
which is kept as secret as possible. Ac-
cording to DR.. Lorenzo, in that district
the arsenic is taken fasting, usually in
a cup of coffee, the first dose being
minute, but increased day by day until
IL sometimes amounts to the enormous
dose of u or 10 grains. He found that
the arsenic ealers were usually long
lived, though liable to sudden DEATH
They have very fresh, youthful ap-
pearance and are seldom attacked by IN
fectious diseases. After the first dose the
usual symptoms Of slight arsenic poison
ing are evident, but these soon disappear
on 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 IN
formed Mr. Hesch that he had been
medically advised TO eat arsenic before
taking up his position. He considered
that no one should begin the practice
before ~ years old nor after 30. and that
IN any case after 80 years OF age the dairy
dose should be gradually reduced, since
