Dr. Pardon rec:ted the history of Major
Morgan, telling incidents in his pubic and
private life. He also referred t. his SER
vices as a soldier. The SPEAKER ment toned

Ing from potatoes are, however, extremely
rare, although those recorded are well de-
nned 1t Is undoubtedly the case that there
is time when the potato may contain an
pears to be when the tuber has begun to
terminate and to shrivel. In that case the
solanine has been found chiefly In the peel
ana at the root Of the eyes or shoots This
fact would seem to account for the death
of child recently in Bristol, England
Among other things which she had eaten
were some potato Feelings, and the medical
evidence showed that the child died with
symptoms consistent with solanfne noison

Causes Perplexity.

The authorities are somewhat perplexed
as to the manner in which the wood or coal
can be delivered If any is procured. They
say that even If the coal strike is ended
there will be such a rush to fill large orders
that the quarter-ton and eighth-ton allot-
ments of the charities will hardly receive at
tenton. OF course, the able-bodied indi-
gents will have to deliver their own fuel,
and 1t is also possible these people may be
called upon to deliver fuel to their less able
brethren. The supply Of wood will be a
test as to the neediness of families in which
there is man able to wGrk. but not able to
find employment. He will be given op-
portunity to saw and split the wood and be
paid either in fuel or in money.
One of the plans of the charity organiza-
lions is to secure a supply of wood or soft
coal and sell it to poor people a wholesale
cost. There are many families who are not
entirely dependent upon charity ard who
would be able to pay a nominal sun for
fuel. The present rates are far beyond
their means. however, and they are COM
PEELED to do without.

Poison in Potatoes.
From the Chicago News.

FfOm the chicago NEWS,
A poisonous principle called solanine has
long been known to exist in the berries Of
the common potato plant. Indeed, for the
purpose Of preparing the alkaloid in the
pure state the berries are conveniently en-
ployed. 1t may also be obtained from the
nightshade and the bittersweet, the aka

THE FU Ell PROBLEM
CHARITABLE SOCIETIES PRoVID-
ING FOR THE POOR.
Meeting Of Citizens Relief Association
Called for the 18th Instant
Coal for District.

The problem of furnishing the poor peo-
pie of the District with fuel has forced
itself upon the charity organizations of the
city, and they are preparing to deal with 1t
to the best OF their resources. At present
these resources are quite meager, but an
opportunity has presented itself for secur-
ing 300 cords of wood at a price less than
one-half the present market quotations. TO
take advantage of this offer the Citizens
Relief Association has sent out circular
letter asking for subscriptions. This letter
is as follows:
THE executive committee of the Citizens
Relief Association is DESTROYS of taking ad-
vantage of a most favorable opportunity,
offered by philanthropic citizen of Wash
ington, for acquiring 800 cords of oak wood
at a very low price. 1t, therefore, appeals
to the citizens OF Washington to contribute
the funds to make this purchase. Even II
the coal strike should terminate at an early
date, 1t is evident that it will be some time
before coal can be obtained in small lots
for the use of needy families.
The funds of the Citizens Relief Asso-
citation are exhausted, and money is urgent
ly needed not only for the purchase of this
fuel, but for continuing the relief work
which Is being carried on through the
agency of the Associated Charities.
Contributions should be sent to Mr.. Be-
riah Wilkins, treasurer of the Citizens Re
lief Association, Washington Post build
ing"
Meeting Called.
A meeting of the entire membership Of
the Citizens Relief Association has been
called for Monday, October 10, in the rooms
of the Board of Trade. to take some action
to follow up the appeal made above. AT this
meeting committees will be appointed to
make arrangements for special rates over
the railroads for any fuel which may be OBJ
tanned. Another committee will be APP
pointed to arrange for the storage of the
fuel upon its arrival and the subsequent
distribution.
The coal strike has placed many addi-
tional burdens upon the poor and has con-
sequently increased the demands for assist
ance at the offices of the Associated Char
tiles These demands are not confined to
fuel, but extend to groceries and the other
necessities of life. People who have been
able heretofore to buy fuel and supplies
with their meager incomes have found
that the fuel purchases practically exhaust
their capital and the wherewithal to buy
groceries and the like is lacking. A large
class of the poor people earn their liveli-
hood by taking in washing and ironing. To
carry on their work they must necessarily
have fuel.
The conditions, the charity officers say
are really serious, and with cold weather
looming up in the near future there is
every cause for apprehension.

Iron Company has notified " Baldwin
