Poisoned by Handling Carpets.

DR.. Godfrey Taunton, a prominent
specialist in the General hospital at
Birmingham, England. recently called
attention to the danger of persons be-
ing poisoned by the dyes in their
clothing, but graver dangers nay be
experienced sometimes from the most
~inoffensive occupation. John Huske-
meyer of 30S Llewellyn street. this
city, was taken to the City hospital in
a sorry plight from a~rsenical poison
ing, which he had contracted from the
handling of carpets. Huskemeyer.
who is 60 years Of age. has been en-
ployed as a carpet layer for many
years. and the doctors maintain that
the dyes, which, as a general rule,
are fixed with arsenic, have been slow
ly absorbed into his system. greatly
endangering his life. The case was
first brought to the attention of II of
the prominent specialists of the city
On nervous diseases. who, upon find
ing that H~uskemeyer was slow to i'm
prove under treatment, ordered him
taken to the hospital and placed on
his special service. The case is at
tracing unusual interest, as it is the
first time that anyone similarly afilict-
ed urder the circumstances has come

LASSOOED HIS FISH
ANGLER HAS STRANGE ADvEN.
TURE WITH A BASS.
Line Trailing in the Water Without a
Spoon Captures a Good Specimen Of
the Fipny Tribe-Sscapes When
Brought to the Boat.

George Bepz of St. Paul is probably
the only man in the country who ever
caught a bass, or came near catching
one. with a line on which there was
not hook. bait or sinker. 1t happened
In this way:
The line. a silk No. >. had become
considerably twisted in trolling, SO
twisted. in tact, that it would kink
badly wheI5 recIcd in: all lines get
that way. though spoons and most 9TH
er artificial bats have swivels on
them.
TO straighten out the line Benz took
the bait and hook from it and trolled
ii behind the boat. 1t is an old trick,
but known to comparatively few fish
ermen. The line in going through the
wafer without a spoon on it reverses
the twist and straightens out in a lit
tie while.
While trolling in this fashion Benz
felt a jerk and then a succession Of
sharp tugs. With no idea other than
that his line had become fouled by a
floating weed or branch, he reeled in
slowly.
When not more thar twenty feet was
out he became convinced that he had
fastened to a fish in some manner. He
then played it as carefully as he could,
anxious to see the outcome of the
strange happening.
The fish fought gamely and tried all
1t knew to get away, but was brought
in until it showed plainly in the water.
1t was a half pound red-eyed bass, and
1t was caught about the body nea the
middle. 1t vas brought to the boats
edge ~. right, but in the attempt to
lift it in gave one final flirt and got
clear, falling back into the water and
darling away.
When Benz removed his spoon from
the line he left in its end the plain
loop which is known Is the fisher
mems bend. This loop was about foul
inches long and when the line was
tioated open.
The fish either struck at the line, or
was swimming fast when it ran into
the loop, which was just big enough to
permit of the passage of a part of its
body. In fighting the rod it kept the
line at a stiff tension, and there was
no chance for the loop to slip off.
Benz would have given something
to land that fish. but, as 1t was. had an
experience that will never come to
him or to anyone else again. Fish have
been caught. or partly caught, in many
ways. but a red-eyed bass in the loop
of an unlocked, Undated line is
unique.

A CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEM.

In the discussion of matters pertain,
ing to the state university an interest.
ing constitutional problem has been
brought to light. Section Is. article
VII. state constitution. reads in part
as follcws"The establishment OF
the University Of wyoming is hereby
confirmed, and said institution. with
its several departments, is hereby de.
clared to be the university of the state
of Wyoming"
Section % of the samA article locat.
ed the university at Laramie, for a
period of ten years. Now the question
arises, was the agricultural college a
department Of the state university at
the time of the adoption Of the state
constitution. Turning to the catalogue
Of 18S7-'88 we find that such a depart,
ment really existed at that time, that
a full corps of professors for such de
partment was named therein and that
a curriculum Was provided. Such de.
partment was conducted continuously
1t was recognized by the treasury de
partment and the funds granted by the
Morrill, and the Hatch acts were paid
v e to the University of Wyoming.
It will be seen at once that the agri
cultural college was n OF tie depsrt
ments Of the state university at the
time of the adoption of the state con
stitution, that it vas therefore located
at the City of Laramie for a period OF
ten years by the constitution and that
it is a part and parcel of the state in
stitution indivisible tnererrom.
In other words. the agricultural col
lege was a department of the state
university at the time the constitution
was adopted and the constitution
says: The establishment of the Uni
versity of Wyoming is hereby confirm
ed. and said institution. WITH ITS
SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. is here
by declared to be the University O.
Wyoming"
Under the constitution it cannot b,
divided. If Lander ever gets any por
ton of it, it must take it all.
