The general public, we fear, is not
acquainted with the the danger aris-
ing from arsenic coloring matter in
wall paper, says the Scientific Amer
lean. A recent death in Palmer, Mass,
is directly attributed by medical au-
thoritiss, to this cause. The trouble
which resulted so disastrously made
its appearance year and half ago
in what seemed to be nervous dys-
pepsia. Two months Of travel abroad
seemed to improve the patient, but on
returning home he soon grew worse
again. On account OF certain conflict
ing symptoms which could not be
readily accounted for, specialist was
called in and gave as his opinion that
there was arsenic poisoning in the
system. An inveetigation was then
made which resulted in the discovery
Of arsenic colors in the wall paper OF
the sitting room. This room had
been papsred shortly previous to the
appearance OF the first symptoms.
The wall paper was at once removed,
but the disease had by this time prog
ressed so far that it was impossible to
save the life OF the unfortunate victim.

ANTAG0NIzED BY PRINTERS UNl0i
Will be Taken. and Gall Attention to the Fact that When Dynamite k Used by Asitntors It Is Tin,e for Action.

Denver, Col, Aug. 4.-The Citizens alliance of Denver has issued q call for mass meeting at the Denver chamber of commerce for Monday, with the implied understanding that action will be taken to run out of town certain agitators who have been conspicuous in the recent labor trou- bles in Denver.
 The Printers union. in resolutions adopted at Sundays meeting. has ex- pressed its intention of its members to oppose the alliance 10 the utmost.
 The resolutions of the pinters state that the attitude of the alliance is fraught with peril to the liberty of the people, and is an incentive to lawlessness.
 The Typographical union condemns such steps as outrageous and anar- chistic in the extreme, concluding as follows:
 'Resolved, That We warn members of the Denver Citizens alliance against taking such action because of the consequences that will follow, and further urge any membr of or ganized labor assaulted in such a manner to protect himself to the full est extent

TIME FOR ACTION.
When Aeitators Use Dynamite It Is
 Time to Take Action.

Denver, Col. Aug. 4.-President J. C. Craig of the Citizens alliance said that he believed the action of the Citizens alliance of Idaho Springs in expelling the union miners who were accused of complicitX in the blowing up of the Sun and Moon converter would be commended at the meeting of the Denver alliance called for Mon day night. but that no radical or un- lawful action would be taken. He ex- pressed indignation at the action of the Denver Typographical union in adopting resolutions warning the al lance against following the example of the Idaho Springs alliance.
 Tt is not the intention, said Mir. Craig. ito drive anyone out of Den yer But in Idaho Springs the situa- tion was different. for these men and others had been making threats for months. and finally resorted to dyna- mite I believe the community not only saved considerable expense, but also prevented the sacrifice of many lives by their action, and therefore 1t should be commended.
 President Craig said further that a resolution would be introduced to ask the police to enforce rigidly the law against carrying arms. He added that his own life had been threatened. but that he had no fear of violence.
 \ communication was received from Sheriff Sandberg of Idaho Springs by committee of the miners who were expelled from that town in answer to letter sent by them to the sher- if. in which they notified him that Gov. Peabody had advised them to ap- ply to the local authorities for pro lection. Sheriff Sandberg replies that he intends to maintain law and order in Clear Creek county without favor or partialitX toward any persons or class
