THE News Is under obligations to tho
Stanton Picket for an recount OF a
poisoning case east OF this city. The
Picket will say
A sad and nearly fatal happening oc-
cured last Friday evening which lacked
just a little of causing deepest mourning
at the home Of Mr. and Mrs. w. II.
Douglas, who reside ON the Beswich
farm, On their return journey from
school h two girls, aged ~ and q,
found what they supposed ut first to be-
artichokcs but after tasting IL decided
that 1t must be horse radish, and which
IN reality was wild parsnips, n rank
poison. Shortly after reaching home
they were taken violently i'll and vom-
tied severely. The older was worse on
and soon went into severe spasms. DR..
w. H.. Person was Immediately sum
moned and reached the home about
nine o'clock. The older girl had then
been unconscious for three hoars and
continued in this condition until ~
o'clock, In the meantime suffering -four
violent spasms. SO violent were the
attacks and 81 serious her condition
that DR.. Person was obliged to admins.
ter antidotes by injection into the arms.
The other child was very sick but did
not suffer spasms. At the present writ
ing both have recovered, but tho older
which were bitten in her agony. The
case should serve warning to children
not to eat articles the nature OF which
they are in doubt. Parents should en-
force this idea upon the minds Of their
children. Mr.. Douglas says his chill
dren, writing in agony, was the most
heart rendering sight he ever witnessed,
and while the friends of the family
sympathize with them they will also
feel that the fortunate termination is a
matter for congratulation.

class fire engine is so designed as to
permit a connection with a four-inch
hydrant or with a two-and-a-half-
inch hydrant, the latter being the size
of the hydrants already IN place on the
westerly side Of the avenue. Supcrin-
tendent Ferber says that there are
several four-inch hydrants on other
corners in the central part Of the city,
sufficient number to furnish an ade-
quate amount of water for any fire,
providing, of course. that the pressure
is sufficiently high.
The crystal engine house boasts of
about the finest bunk rooms of any fire
house in the city. There are five per-
manent men and the four bunk men
in the company, and their sleeping
quarters consist Of two rooms on the
second floor. These rooms have a re-
markably comfortable and homc-lke
air about them. The floor is Carpctcd
with brussels carpet and the windows
Grn hung with dainty curtains. The
hodS are white enamollcd with brass
trimmings, and just about as Cozy
looking as one could wish to see. The
rooms were furnished by the company
before the reorganization. and the fur
nishngs We're all allowed to remain.
The representative of the American
Fire Engine company, who was to
come on here to superintend the test
ing of the new first-Class steamer just
received, has not yet arrived. Director
of Public Safety Wormser yesterday
sent a communication 10 the Company's
head office, requesting that he he sent
on here at once. In the meantime, the
engine is lying on a fiat car in the
Delaware and Hudson yard, protected
from the elements only by "A canvas
cloth. Chief Ferber says he does not
want TO touch the piece of apparatus
until the company's man arrives.
A number of the members of the Nay
Aug Engine company enjoyed a social
session for a few hours last night in
the club rooms Of the Firemen's Relief
association. The cigars were passed,
and a hurriedly arranged programme
was gone through with.

NEWS OF FIRE
DEPARTING" /

superintendent II. +. Ferber, of the
bureau of fires, spent a large part of
the week just ended in making a gem
eral tour of inspection of all the fire
houses in the city. He reports that
he found everything in fairly good con-
dition, but suggests that there is room
for improvement in great many
ways
He discovered, among other things,
that a number OF the permanent men
have been in the habit of sitting out
side their quarters in their Shirt
sleeves and in all sorts of negigee at
tire. This led him TO issue a general
order directing that all permanent
men in the future shall wear full uni
form from 10 o'clock in the morning
until they retire at night.
He has also instructed the captain of
each company to insist that his men
go though a fire drill every night at
S o'clock when taps are sounded. AS
soon as the gong Is sounded each man,
after adjusting the harness, is to
spring to his place on the wagon and
remain there until ordered down by the
captain. This will prevent any con-
fusion when an alarm Of fire is sound
ed, and will result in the saving of a
little time.

the club, not it's sole, resting on the
ground behind the ball the end OF the
shaft should reach about to the knee
as the player stands upright The left
foot should be slightly in advance of
the ball-about four inches-and the
right foot should be about foot and a
half distant, a little behind the left"
No arbitrary distances can be given,
for they will differ with height and
reach.
next and should be carefully consider
ed The right hand is placed below the
left, the latter being placed an inch or
two below the top of the handle. The
main idea is to grasp the handle firmly
with the upper hand, while the lower,
or right hand, must hold it more loose
ly and serve as a guide to the stroke.
The left hand imparts the force to the
swing, and it's hold should be firm and
steady. To act as a correct guide the
right hand. Of course must also have
a steady hold, but it has freer and
more delicate touch than that of the
left.
The club shaft should he laid along
the middle joints of the right fingers,
which are then clasped about it with
the finger nails uppermost. The hands
should he close together and the VS.
formed by the thumb and forefinger of
each hand should be parallel down the
shaft. Knuckles should be visible to
the player. Special care should he
taken that the club be gripped by the
fingers and not by the palms of the
hands, and above all, the grasp should
he as easy and unConstrained as possi-
bic. Stiffness or awkwardness is fatal
to accuracy in driving.

To the lay of the ball and must depend
on circumstances. For full shots the
position required for the drive should
be taken. For shorter approach shots
the right foot should be somewhat
nearer the ball and slightly in advance
of the left, which should point to the
hole The legs should he bent slightly,
with thn weight principally on the
right. The grasp should be tight and
almost equal with both hands.
Putting is the play of the ball for the
hole after it is safely landed on the
green. 1t can be done accurately only
after much practice. The chief oare
should be to swing the club, no matter
how long or how short the distance, in
"A straight line for the hole and to car
~ the stroke Cleanly and firmly
through. The ball must he struck fair
ly and must not be pushed. The best
guide to direction is to select and aim
over a bunch of grass in apparent line
with the put. This is a surer method
than that Of aiming with the eye
alone.
\ stymie is something which appears
formidable to the uninitiated. 1t oc-
ours when one ball lies on the green in
a direct line between another ball and
the hole. If the distance between the
two balls is less than six inches the
ball nearer the hole may be lifted
while the other is played. If the dis
tance is more, the outer ball must be
played over the other under the PEN
atty of losing the hole in case of coll

| downward swing. Do not stand too
| near or over or too far away from the
| ball. Careful attention to these direc-

known as topping "heelng," toe

| Topping is striking the ball above the
cente' instead of hitting it full. With
an iron club topping usually takes "A

a prominent golfing expert on the sub
ject of the body swing is as follows:
Keep your muscles and wrists free
and easy, your arms loose out from
! the body, and let your whole person
yield slightly to the swing. Let the
heel of your left foot rise little off

and never exert all your strength, but
hold yourself we'll in hand. Finally
keep your eyes steadfastly on the ball.
