II am not practicing law" was the
rejoinder.
Standing around the Governors car
riage In the interval before the arrival
of the troops, were a number of PROM
inent citizens, and a prominent retir-
ed military officer. To the discussions
of matters pertaining to military he
added nothing indicating his acquies-
ence In, or opposition to opinions adj
vanced as to the proper conduct of vol
unteer militia on duty He listened at
tentively TO suggestions as to a change
IN the laws regarding the subordlnacy
OF military to civil authorities, while
protecting state property or prisoners,
but ventured no opinions.
He stated he had intended coming 70
Savannah several days before ne knew
OF the letter written by Capt. Hitch.
and this incident did not influence him
one way or the other. His duty as
chief executive was to the people and
state. and not to an Individual, he
said.
During the passing Of the parade the
Governor left his carriage and stood
IN front OF the members of his staff.
He remarked as he stepped back into
the carriage. Il was a most creditable
showing of the local military COM
mands.

ARsENIo POISONING.

Government scientists have recently
found that many kinds of dress goods
contain enough arsenic to be danger
pies of furs examined by the bureau
of chemistry eleven were heavily load
ed with arsenic, containing from
twenty to LOO times as much of the
poison as is allowed, as a limit of safe
'ty, by the laws of Massachusetts. OF
eleven samples of fur rugs and robes
examined, every one exceeded the limit
of safety which is put at one grain
of arsenic per square yard None con-
tanned less than five grains per square
yard, and from this minimum they ran
up to 40 grains. Such rugs, it is de-
clared, are extremely dangerous, be-
cause the mineral, being present in
such large quantities, is liable to be
mingled with the dust of living rooms
and to be breathed into the lungs. In
fact, arsenic in rugs is worse than in
wall paper, for the reason that there
is more chance of its getting loose in
the atmosphere.
Several hundreds of samples of dry
goods of various kinds were subjected
to analysis and it was found that more
or less arsenic was commonly present
in calicoes, cashmeres, mohairs, fan
nels, fiannelets and various other fab
RIGS. Black, red and green fabrics
seemed to be most heavily loaded with
the poison. OF forty-one samples of
stockings, twelve exceeded the limit
of safety above mentioned, the black
ones being the worst, though two bad
pairs were blue. 1t is averred that
arsenic in stockings is much more dan
gerous than in dress materials, mas
much as they are worn next to the
skin, so that the poison may be read
lily absorbed. Children are more sus-
ceptible to poisoning than persons of
mature years.

will not start a laugh through the en-
tire performance, but ii will carry the
listeners to the extreme Of rapt at

BOTH ALDERMEN LOST
ON THIS FISH DEAL.

Alderman William l.. Grayson got
what he deserved, according TO his
friends, and had no right to feel "sore,"
but he did.
Alderman John Glatigny felt he had
been trined with and was not at all
pleased-until he heard what happens
ed to his brother councilman.
Both aldermen are from the South
Side, and it was South Side crowd
that played the cruel joke. Mr.. Glat-
igny had an attractive bunch of fish
he was bringing to the city from Isle
Of Hope and had planned to have them
for breakfast yesterday morning.
II CHANGED that on the same car Col
Grayson and some OF the South Side
crowd were passengers. 1t was really
one party after the car left Isle Of
Hope. Col. Grayson saw the FISH UNI
der Mr.. Glatigny's seat and decided he
would like TO take them home as an
evidence Of good faith. He tipped
of" two members Of the party and
agreed to purchase supper when the
city was reached.
In addition Col. Grayson was to pull
the trolley off so the car would be in
darkness, when the fish were abstract
ed. He performed his part of the con-
tract faithfully. When Alderman
Glatigny got off at the South Side sta
ton he was not in very amiabie mood,
although he had no direct evidence to
furnish at police headquarters, even II
he had desired TO go so far with his
constituents.
In a down town restaurant, Col.
Grayson carefully put his fish away and
ordered supper for the bunch" that
had assisted him. In the course Of
time the hot plates were tabled. Among
the first dishes was the Glatigny- Gray
son fish, fried I'm excellent style. The
members OF the party had. on the sly,
decided 10 dispose OF the FISH them
selves, fearing there might be bad blood
between the South Side aldermen IL
Col. Grayson took his prize catch home.

The English beauties have clear,
lovely skin, because they eat 50 little
fruit at the table. Fruit is hard to
obtain, and it is eaten as a luxury
without cream. 1t is much better taken
in this way, and it does not upset the
stomach so much.
English women live on much the
same viands as Irish women. They
eat the cereals, they take the toasts
and warm breads and the good sweet
butter of ireland. They take the nice

en- in Dublin, and they understand how
to cook their vegetables until they are
thoroughly done.

Take care of the hygiene of your body.
Breathe good air and you viii grow

AT THE THEATER

1.-THE Silver Slipper" which was one
of the remarkable successes of last
season, the house having been crowd
ed to its capacity at it's production.
was presented last night before rather
a small audience. Most of the leading
members of last years company, who
did so much towards making the per-
Torrance sparkling and clever, were
recognized, although that charming
little actress, Miss Gertrude Milling
ton, was missed from the cast. Her
place was excellently filled by Miss

and when the Girl You Love Loves
YOU two of the prettiest songs in the
piece, with much charm.
The company was larger than that
of last year, and the costuming fresh
and pretty. AS before, the dancing
was the most noticeably good feature
of the production. There were two or
three changes in the English dancing
girls who gave the famous champagne
dance, but the work was spirited and
remarkable as ever and the ensemble
dancing all through the performance
lovely. All the pretty original silver
Slipper songs were RETAINED. and a
number of new ones added, but, bright
and melodious as they are. it's second

The Silver Slipper" will never attain
the success of ''Florodora." It's
strongest point is it's comedy, which
that clever comedian, Snitz Edwards,
makes so exceedingly funny.
