To Reserve Railway Seats.

The Western railway of France is
about to try device by which passen-
gers may retain their seats in a rail-
way carriage without resort to the
expedient Of placing luggage on the
seat claimed. Over each place in a
compartment is placed a disc, and as
each is occupied numbers placed on
the disc and a counterfeit is handed
to the passenger by the guard. BY a
recent judicial decision no passenger
can claim a seat by placing objects
upon it.

GOV PATTISON IN DANGER
Suspicious Package Sent to Him
Through the Mails.

Supposed to Be Some Kind of an In
fernal Machine-It Contained a Lot
of Powder in Which Brass Box
Was Buried-An Inscription on the
Cover of the Box Read, ITO H--ll
With YOU
Philadelphia, Aug 15.-What may
have been an attempt upon the life of
former Governor Robert b. Pattison
developed last night when the detective
department. was notified that MIR Pat
tison had received through the mail a
package containing what seemed to be
an internal machine. The package
contained several pounds of black
prismic powder, such as is used in
guns Of large calibre, in the center OF
which a small brass box was buried
On the top of the powder was a Slip of
paper bearing the inscription, ITO h--ll
with you" The police are trying to
discover a clue to the senders of the
package.
Mr. Pattison Is the democratic candi-
date for governor. When he was seen
at his law Office to-day he did not ap-
pear to be much worried over the ap-
parent attempt to take his life Speak
Eg of the matter, he said he found the
package in his office upon his return
from a trip to New York this week.
II examined it carelessly,' continued
Mr. Pattison, and thought no more
about the matter until night before
last, when a newspaper reporter called
at my house and told me the sensation
al story that it was powder that was
sent to me. I gave Lam the key to my
Office and he went there and got the
package, which yesterday was taken
to Fort Delaware, and on being tested
was found to be powder. AS to the

package and supposed to contain dyna-

see the little box. Further than this

STRANGE CASE OF DEATH.
Mrs William f. Boyle Of Meriden is In
vestigating Alleged Murder.

Meriden,> Aug 16.-Mrs William F..
Boyle of this city has retained Attor-
ney Danaher to LOOK into the case of
her husband, William Doyle, who was
supposed to have committed suicide in
his lodging house on Canal street, New
York, August 9Th, by drinking carbolic
acid. Mrs Boyle is in receipt of let
ter from a friend of Boyle's. AL Totski.
who lives at 85 Sands street, Brooklyn,
in which he claims Boyle met with
foul play. His slandlaay found him
dead in his room with a bottle of carr
bolic acid by his side. The authorities
were notified and the body taken to the
morgue then removed to Meriden
Totski's version Of the affair is diff
ferent, however. He states that when
he saw Boyle's body at the morgue the
nose was broken, the head cut and
there We're black and blue spots all
over his chest and legs.
Totski went to the hotel where BOYLE
boarded and wasgtolds by one of the
boarders that he had helped to carry
Boyle to the hospital. According to
his story there had been fight and
Boyle was numerically lacerated and
bruised. Boyle. had just received his

Love and bamboo in Java.

The young shoots of the bamboo are
covered with a number of very fine
hairs that are seen, under the micro
scope, to be hollow and spiked like
bayonets. These hairs are commonly
called bamboo poison by the white
men resident in Java, for the reason
that murder is frequently committed
through their agency. When Javan-
ese woman takes fancy to Euro
pean she will either have him or poi
son him if she gets the chance. She
seeks any and every opportunity of
mixing these infnitesimal hairs
among his food, and they serve the
purpose of irritating the whole length
of the alimentary canal and setting
up malignant dysentery. It may take
long time and many doses of this So
called poison to effect the purpose, but
the native woman does not tire and
death will surely result. The male ma
tive will also try this method of re-
yenge for an affront.-Japan Mail.

DISCUSSING FAIR ACCIDENT.
Riders of Automobiles Are Talking of
Nothing Else in Paris.

RIDERS OF AuTOmODlleS Are Talking or
Nothing Else in Paris.
New York, Aug 16.-The cause of
the automobile accident in which Mr.
and Mrs Charles Fair were killed and
also of other motor accidents is a top
ic Of discussion among the members
of the Automobile club of Paris, says
the Tribune correspondent The
unanimous opinion is that the mem
bers of recognized clubs and owners
of automobiles sould be- impressed
with the terrible risk they run in in
dulging in outbursts of high speed.
even on the long, broad and perfect
roads of Normandy. There is the
deepest sympathy felt for Mr. and Mrs
Charles Fair, and it is admitted that
almost every automobile car in the
favorite road hgNween Nantes and
Evreux, which is as smooth as a bill
liar dtable, lets out at full speed. 1t
is also noted that in the last fort
night at Trouville and Dieppe and
Aix-les-Baines there has been a great
deal too much -scorching, usual
ly by new and young owners of motor
cars. One of the offenders in this
respect is. Tod Sloan, the American,
who is reported as going at a maxi
mum speed through the Norman vii
lagos near Trouville, Pont Leveque
and Cabourg.
The road from Evreux to Pacy- Sur
Eure is beautifully macadamized and
is in perfect condition. The spot where
the accident occurred, exactly in front
of the gates of the Chateau de Mai, is
on moderate descending grade. -Four
miles to the west of Pacy the road is
slightly winding to make the descent
to the river Eure more gradual. There
are double rows of fine elm trees be
side the route. and on each side of the
road there are cutters about yard
wide. paved with large. rough stones.
1t was doubtless one of these rough
stones that pierced the front tire,
which was the immediate cause of the
accident.

Attorney Carmody was present and in

legal complexion of the situation. He
was afterwards referred to as the

that all that now stands in the way Of

NOTED JURIST DEAD
Luther r. Marsh, Once a Partner of
Webster.

MIDDLETOWN, n. Y, Aug. 10
once the law partner of Daniel Web
ster and for years one of the foremost
jurists of New York state, is dead of
old age
He was in his ninety-first year.
The funeral services will be held
here on Monday afternoon at o'clock.
Interment will be on Tuesday in Green
wood cemetery.
Luther r. Marsh was born in 1913 in
Pompey, N. Y. By his ability and in
austry he pushed ahead into law Of
fee. He was admitted to the bar when
yet almost a youth and soon earned a
reputation for handling successfully
most difficult cases.
He settled in New York in 1871 and
soon became known as an able advo-
cate. Prominent law firms We'd with
each other to secure his advice as asso-
ciate in famous cases.
Daniel Webster on retiring from Pres
ident Tylers cabinet entered his firm,
styled Marsh & Sturteyant where he
remained until elected to the senate in
1916.
For ffty-two years Mr.. Marsh held
his place as a leader in the bar. He
was for long time president of the
park commission and was for several
teaEns a vice president of the Union
league, of which he was one of the
founders.
In Mr.. Marshs home in Fifth avenue
ne frequently entertained the notorious
Mime. Ann Odelia Diss De Bar, who
was sent to prison later for her part
in the spiritualistic picture swindle by
which he was deceived for years. He
believed implicitly in her power.
In 1888 Mr.. Marsh said his eyes were
opened to Nine Diss De Bars charac-
ter. He found many of her stories
false and that he had been deceived
by the medium. These disclosures and
the ridicule that followed estranged
him from friends of lifetime and he
finally resolved to leave the city. He
prepared to make his home on Lake
Erie and sent on his household goods.
Among the many mediums who con-
tinued to besiege his home after the
Imprisonment of Nine. Diss De Bar
was Mrs. Clarissa Huyler of Middle
her home. He accepted, intending to
remain only few days, but he never
returned to New York nor continued
his journey to his country home on
Lake Erie
