POISONED A FROG.
Test Made In Court to Show Effects
 of Strlchnine.

Camden. N. J., November 1s.-A frog was poisoned in court today to show the jury the agonies of human being dying as result of being poisoned with strych- nine. Paul Woodward, who is alleged to have lured two boys, Brice Jennings and Paul Coffin, from this city into the woods and having caused their deaths with strychnine, was on trial, and Pro- lessor Marshall of the University of Pennsylvania was testifying He took some of the poison extracted from the liver of Paul Coffin and forced 1t into a live frog. The jury and all others in court became intensely interested. and in a few minutes the frog went into convul- sions. The professor explained the action of the drug as the writhing frog exhibited all the agonies the boys had suffered as they expired.
 The experiment caused a sensation in the courtroom.

BLISS SAILS FOR
 CUBA ON TUESDAY
Will Endeavor to Adjust Differ
 ences in Short While
DEPARTMENT IS ANXIOUS
Commercial Treaty Will Be Necessary Before Cuba Can Float the Pro- posed Loan-Diffleulty In
 Selling Bonds Now.

Washington, November 13-Gen. Tasker Bliss will sail for Cuba Sunday if he can secure steamer accommodation. It is the intention of those interested in the com mercial treaty with Cuba to have it ready. if possible, within three weeks, and General Bliss will endeavor to ad- just the differences in that time. It is considered important to have the treaty sent to the senate before the holiday re- cess.
 It will require a two-thirds vote to ratify the treaty, and a determined mi- nority in the senate could postpone ac- ton on it for some time Those best in- formed regarding conditions existing In the island do not expect any speedy ac- tion. They believe that large number of Cubans are very much opposed to granting the concessions the United States will demand. There is also talk that they may test the effectiveness of the Platt amendment by entering into negotiations with other countries regard ing trade relations. The position which our government holds in Cuba and out relations with the leading foreign tions at the present time is such that it
 
 would care to make any treaty with Cuba which was not sanctioned by the United States.
 There is even some talk that the nego- tiations with Cuba might be brought to satisfactory conclusion should it appear that the repress l,ativcs of ft eign gov ernments at Havana had been instructed not to enter into negotiations until a treaty had been concluded with the Unit ed States. It Is scarcely expected that such instructions can be obtained. It Is the desire of this government to leave the negotiations, should they fail in such shape, that 1t will not appear that an att tempt had been made to extort from Cuba more than the United States was willing to give. It is said by an official dealing with the subject of Cuba, that a commer- cial treaty will be necessary to establish Cuba on such a basis that she float the proposed loan. With all negotiations hung up and strained relations existing between the old and new republics. it is believed there will be difficulty in selling the bonds of Cuba. At the same time this government does not wish to appear in the attitude of holding this particular club over the Cuban government. It is therefore, probable that in case the nego- tiations fail, a sta atement of what was de- manded by the United States and the req sons why the concessions were asked, will be made.

FRENCH STRIKE IS ENDED.
Many of the Men, However, Are Still
 Holding Out.

Paris, November 13.-The general coal miners strike practically has come to an end. although many of the men are still holding out About two-thirds of the strikers have already returned to work. The miners congress now being held at Lens has voted in favor of the resump- tion of work.
 Ten thousand strikers, many of them armed with clubs and carrying banners and red flags, made a demonstration at St. Etitine today. They marched through the streets, but seemed more bent on merry-making than creating disorder.
 A few isolated dynamite outrages are reported from various points in the strike region, but the damage done was slight and of a purely material character.

It is supposed that many of these shocks slightly relieve the strain upon the un- deriving rocks, which are being slowly pended or lifted by subterranean forces, without causing enough motion to create any serious disturbance at the surface.

appeared on the scene with a neat hum
ole containing. among other toilet ac-
cessories, a night shirt.

GAINED, why, Dan, when you've been
one OF US long enough, you'll find out
we never have time to change in the
night"
mered:
Il was so excited did not think"
captain Cochrane interrupted him.
It's all right, son, but you wear
your underwear and blue shirt and
you ii ind you dress the quicker"
NO. house was one of the old timers
comfortable but not as elaborate as
some of the more recent fire stations.
Inc cellar contained the coal supply for
the engine, and the boiler which kept
steam up in the engine while it was in
the house. When an engine returns
from fire the firebox is emptied, and
fresh fire laid.
The main floor was given over to the
engine and its tender or hose cart Five
stalls occupied the sides, while in front
was the desk where the watch was al
ways on duty. The floor above was
used for the dormitories and bath
rooms, the captain having a room in
front. On the third floor was the
lounging room, where the men spent
their spare time, and where were To-
Gated their lockers. This was familiar
territory to Dan, for many an evening
nad ne been here listening to depart
ment stories.
Burton, the driver, with whom Dan
was particularly chummy, introduced
him to the dormitory. According to
an established custom, a bed in the
center of the room was given to the
new man, so that others could keep an
eye on him. His old boots were forced
through the legs of his overalls, and
the latter rolled down so that with
single movement the boots could be
slipped on and the trousers pulled up
in a second. Coats and hats were
stored on the tender and hose reel, to
be donned on the way to the fire.
Dan was so familiar with life in the
house that he did not have to be
taught the simpler tricks, such as
hitching up and sliding down the pole,
usually shown to a new man the first
day. When asked what time he would
like off, Dan promptly replied that he
would like three swings, so that he
might eat at home with his folks. This
gave him an hour and fifteen minutes
three times a day. Two swings call
for an hour and three quarters twice
a day, while for men living at dis
lance three hours form a single swing,
In winter they have twelve hours off
three times each month, and in sum-
mer they get three days. This, with
the exception of the regular vacation,
is all the time a man is supposed to
be away from the house. And at the
house he is practically on duty day
and night.
Dan was to have one day at No. 9
before reporting to the training school,
and by night he was quite worn out.
Nevertheless he was too nervous to
sleep, and tossed restlessly till the first
streak # dawn lightened the horizon.
He was afraid he would miss the tele-
graph. Every time the horses moved
he started. The silence was oppressive.
A night light burned at one end of the
