SHEAR AGAIN IN THE TOLLS.
Arrest of Man who is Well known in
NJ, TObusbuPy

The Boston Herald OF May chronicles
the capture of a noted forger, with a
part OF whose history many St. Johns
bury people are familiar. The Herald
says:
After escaping the gallows for poison
ing two soldiers OF the civil war and
beating prison bars and lodging police
mtn for years, Lerow Shear, alias
Charles P. Clark, alias Frank Mallory,
w. NJ. Davis, c Nd. Walters and Lorenzo
c. Stewart, was arrested Saturday in
New York city for uttering * rged checks.
He has been followed all over the
world by the Plnkerton men and he tell
to the clevernesS of Detective Butler IN
New York, who SAW him on a race track
a few DAYS ago and followed him to his
fashionable hotel. He called in Capt.
Titus and his meu to bis aid. Shear is
about 60 years old a gen leman in ap
pearauce at all times and ALWAYS dressed
in the fashionable style. He lives at the
very best hotels.
On March 10 he was in Boston, and
lett his traces behind him. He went to
a big department store aud purchased
two cheap silk waists and gave in pay
ment check tor 500 drawn upon the
Federal National Bank OF Pittsburg,
Pa, prrportnd to be signed by Demmler
Bros. and made payable to {. Nd. Wal
tiers.
He received considerable cash in ex-
change for the check atrer paying for the
waists. Then he disappeared. The mat
ter was reported to Chief Watts OF head
quarters and Supt. Leith OF the local
Pinkerton detective agency, and they i'm
med,ately suspected Shear. They pro-
duced picture OF him, and it was iden.
titled by the victims as that OF the man
who victimized them.
Then the hunt for Shear was begun
with renewed vigor. All detectives OF
the Pinkerton force OF the world and the
police were asked to watch for him. he
is charged also with a recent offence OF
similar nature in New York city involv
ing $50.

The Poisoning OF Horses.

Horses are often seriously poisoned
and sometimes killed by eating hay con-
tanning the so-caled "foxtail," "horse-
tall" "pine top" meadow pine" or
crush, known botanically as Equisetum
arvense. This fact has been conclusively
proved by experimt nts made at the Yer
mont Experiment Station. Many prac-
teal farmers and horsemen became con-
WINGED years ago that his kind OF poison
ing occurs, but their observations have
disagreed and contradicted until the
matter had to be settled by scientific ex.
pertinent.
These experiments have been conducted
by DR.. F. A. Rich, veterinarian, and Prot.
L. R. Jones, botanist, of the Vermont
Experiment Station, and their conclu-
sions have just been made public.
Amongst other tests. "swale hay"
containing considerable quantities of this
rush" or "foxtail," was fed to horses.
Symptoms of poisoning followed and the
horses died from the effects. Numerous
similar cases of accidental poisoning
have been studied.
many IdI lltIS WIN udNS hOhlSNo bhS
bad effects oil eding "swale hay" have
laid the blame upon theterns or brakes"
which it contained. This seems to be en-
tirtly a mistake. The equisetum alone
should be condemned. Horses are the
only animals seriously affected by this
weed. Sheep NAV possibly be hurt by it,
but that is question. Cows eat 1t
| with IMMUNITY.
In the horse equisetum produces ner'
vous affection characterized bv loss Of
muscular coordination. He feels and
staggsrs like drunken man and, as the
disease progresses, becomes unable tc
stand, goes down, other nervous symp
toms develop and death results in from
tour days to two weeks.
Horses seem to acquire taste fol
equisetum hay and eat it by preference
Young animals and those not receiving
grain are most susceptible to the poison

harles Major. illustrated by H. c, Christy,
The NJ acmillan Coz limo, S1oo.
In dorothy Vernon" Mr.. Major has
given us a vigorous story, alive with in
terest from start to finish. The heroine is
an impetuous but true-hearted daughter
of the Elizabethan age, with will and
heart of her own that brook no interior
ence with her love. She rebels against
marriage OF convenience and runs great
risks for the sake OF the man to whom
she has given her heart-these risks being
augmented by the fact that her lover is
the son of her fathers sworn enemy,
There is much OF history in the book, but
there is more Of romance, and the reader
will be caught and held by the freshness
and spirit of the story. The elopement OF
Dorothy Vernon with John Manners is
an historic episode; Haddon Hall belongs
to this day to thtir descendants, the Dukes
of Rutland. Queen FL z4beth visi ed the
castle; the state chamber, where she
rested over night, is still shown to visit
ors in its original state. Mary Stuart.
too, enters the story, to rouse the jeal-
ousy Of Dorothy. The book is very
readable one and will be thoroughly
enjoyed.
The middle Kingdom" is becoming
more and more the focus OF the worlds
diplomacy, and such book as this is
most timely. Written by R. Van Bergen,
Nj D., long resident in China, it draws
largely on personal observation for its
facts. Commencing with description
OF the physical features of the country, it
next considers the people Intensely yes,
their belief, customs and education.
Then the history of the Chinese Empire
is briefly sketched, from the earliest times
to the Boxer uprising. The book is at
tractively illustrated from photographs,
and forms an interesting and valuable
supplementary geographical reader. 1t

A Timely Hint.

This present era of prosperity should
not beget extravaganza. 1t must always
be remembered that a change must come.
The United States is now prospecting at
the expense OF the world, and it cannot
last. Our goods cannot seek foreign
market after that market has exhausted
its means to pay, and that stage will be
reached soon or later. Every body
should take advantage of the existing
conditions to pay his debts.
