The Tarantuia.

The sting OF the tarantula "a name
derived from Taranto a town in Italy,,
the most venomous Of spiders, was pop
ularly supposed to produce a disease
called tarantism, which could be cured
only by music or dancing, and the
dance which cured It was called taran-
tella. You can see the peasants dance
the tarantella now, but without wait
ing for spider bites.

GIVEN A SMALL FINE.
Mckenzie and Hostein Pay S25 On
Poisoned Milk Charge.

Seattle-JusJice George handed
down decision in the case of A. E.
UcKenzje ana George Holstein, pro
pIietors Of the Fashion cafe on Pike
street, who were charged with sell
5ng milk containing formaldehyde
They were assessed SIS each, which
they paid.
The case has been under advise
ment tor some time and since hearing
the evidence Justice George is said
to have been looking up the author
tiles. Il disp2sing of it he said he
made the fine small for the reason
that formaljehyde is a new adulter
ant in milk and that its presence is
hard to detect and even expert chem
lists have been deceived about it IN.
I'll recently. The plea of the defend
ants that theJ We're ignorant of the
presence Of the drug in the milk he
considered in connection with the
statutes concerning adultera1ed milk
These can be construed. he said sc
as to make the vendors responsible
where it is within reasonable posi-
bIljty TO detect the impurities.
There are many variances, he said
IN the construction Of the statute
but OF the whole he was convinced
that the weight of modern opinion
would uphold the imposition of {

c.aa,tle.-In the Stewart & Holmes
.abo,atary Monday afternoon Prof.
rsnzsr gave tast 70 scientific men
II his methods OF discovering the
presence OF formaldeh"de in any
2atter. which proved complete sue
,ess. Those present were: Prof..
Gunner. Of the State Agricultural

University of Washington; Prot

Heretofore it has been the conten-
tion Of scientists that it was impossi-
Bile to detect the presence of fOrmald-
onyde in milk or other liquid after
twenty-four hours. Prof. Tanner has
knocked this contention to the winds
and at the conclusion of the work
Prof Byers, of the state UNIVERSITY
stated that he believed Prof. Tanner
has made a valuable scientific dis
cCvery Of what had heretofore been
4 mystery. This was that formalde-
hyde, administered in small doses, in.
stead of disappearing, as has been
supposed, is retained in part, in The
stomach and with a continuation of
the doses a sufficient amount would
be accumulated to produce death. He
gave this as his opinion, but said
he would want to see it verified.
To do this he suggeste' that the
county commissioners be asked to
defray the expenses of an experiment
He said batch of newborn kittens
could be taken. One kitten could be
fed on pure milk, one on milk con-
tanning formaldehyde which has
been in it week, another for a
longer period and so on. After the
kittens had been fed for a sufficient
time for the experiments, they could

proposition of this sort will be made
to the commissioners.

tity of formaldehyde in milk water.
milk two days old and milk two
weeks old. In each experiment he
was successful. Later these tests
were verified by standard means.
At the request of Mr.. Kriete, Prof.
Tanner took the second half of the
infants stomach and made a test
showing the presence of Tornado
hyde To verify this he used the
standard, or Hyler test. which failed.
Then the stomach was washed in

Eight Millions in the Pool.

New York, Oct. 6.-The mystery Of
the remarkable advance of prices on
Wall street the last few days was
solved today by the disclosure that
all $4,000, 900 pool had been formed
Saturday Of the week before to sup
port the general market.
J. P. Morgan & Co. Loeb & Co., the
National City Bank, the National
Bank of Commerce and several fnan-
ciers personally made up the pool. L,
is one of the strongest organized in
any stock market. It's members rep
resent actually billions of dollars.
1t was not the purpose Of the pool
to cause any marked advance in any
PARTICULAR stock, but the members are
pledged up to $4,000, 900 to carry
their proportion of all stocks pur-
chased.
The actual buying is in charge of
A. A. Houseman and Talbot J. Taylor
A dozen brokerage houses have or
ders from these two sources original
ing with inc big pool managers.
Mr.. Housemann and Mr.. TAYLOR
have general orders to support any
stock on the list, that shows an ia
clination to break. II is this peculiar
feature of the pool that has caused
such wonderful uniformity in the
stock market the last few days and
which led 10 the belief that there
were numerous pools in the market
But one pool exists and none other

has cleared several millions of profit
so that any further decline next week

Trottlno Record Lowered.

Before a great crowd of specta-

Lou Dillon trotted a mile in 2
minutes and broke the worlds record.
The weather and track conditions
we're practically perfect when Millard
Sanders, driver of the Dillon mare,
brought her out. For pacemakers
Peggy from Paris and Carrie Nation
were used.
On the first score Lou Dillon made
a break just before reaching the wire.
On the second attempt the word was
given. Driver Tanner kept Peggy
from Paris directly in front of the
peerless chestnut trotter, while Nc,
Coy laid at her wheel. In this way
the trio were at the quarter in 3OA
seconds. With never skip Lou Dill
lon went down the back stretch. The
half was trotted in 1:00%.
Around the turn to the three-quar-
ters pole the pace quickened. the third
quarter being done in 3OA seconds
Then came the real test. Faster and
faster came the leading runner and
right with her trotted the handsome
Lou Dillon. To the amazement of all
the last quarter was completed in 20
,econds. thus making the mile in 2
minutes fiat

Autos Forbidden on Towpath.

Boyd has issued special orders forbid
ding the running of automobiles on
the canal towpath.
The recent fatal accident near Fort
Plain, by which Mr.. Spaulding of New
York was drowned in the canal while
driving his auto along the path, has
emphasized the matter because there
was discovered upon the body OF Mr..
Spaulding what purported to be per
NIT" authorizing him to make use of
the towpath, the only condition be-
ing that speed should not exceed 20
miles an hour"
Not only was the permit spurious
but Superintendent Boyd has not been

to have authority to grant the use OF
the canals for such purpose. The per-

MILLloNAIREs IN COURT.
Trial Of President Cassatt and Others
on CHARGE Of MansIauahter.

on CndTge or mdnSldu9nteT.
Newark, N. j., Sept. 1.-When court
reconvened Prosecutor Riker opened
for the state, reciting the nature of the
accident, the conditions Of the tracks
and dangers of the crossing. He said
that as long ago as 1899 the necessity
for a derailing switch was apparent
to both the railroad and street car com.
panies.
On the morning of the accident the
crossing was covered with snow and
ice so that the brake shoes of the car
were clogged. In consequence the car
slipped down the incline, smashed the
gates and collided with the train. He
said that common prudence demanded
clean tracks, empty front platforms
SC as not to interfere with the motor,
man, an safety derailing switch.
These were absent in this case.
He then named the defendants in
dividually and stated that they were
aware of the conditions of the track,
that they knew about the crossings

adjudged guilty of the charge in the
indictment.
The first witness was Edward G.
Kempf, a surveyor, who showed dia
grams and measurements he had made
of the crossings and the immediate
vicinity. He was followed by Mrs.
Minnie NJ Horle, sister of Ernestine
Miller. The defense admitted the
death Of Miss Miller and also that she
was a passenger on the wrecked car.
The last witness of the day was
James Kay, letter carrier who was
at the crossing at the time of the
accident. He described the condition
Of the approach to the crossing and
said the motorman of the trolley car
apparently made every effort to stop
the car, but could not do so on ac-
count of the Ice covered condition Of
