Danger i'm SbeUGsb.

AS a result of recent agitation over
shellfish taken from waters polluted by
sewage there have been numerous
Investigations of the subject by biol
ogists in Europe and the United States
The last report of the British royal
commission on sewage disposal con-
siders in detail the progress made in
recent Investigations. and states that
there is no doubt that many cases of
typhoid fever, as we'll as other dis
eases, are caused by eating .shellfish
obtained from waters contaminated by
sewage So serious was the evil. in
the opinion of the commission, that
the only satisfactory method of coping
with 1t was to confer on some compe-
tent authority absolute jurisdiction
over tidal waters from which were
taken shellfish for human food in or
der that no supplies whatsoever should
be derived from polluted waters. The
commission also realized that some
definite standard of purity must be es-
tablished, as they were able to find
bacillus coli, which is considered to in
dicate the presence of human pollution,
in nearly all of 1000 oysters which were
examined bacteriologically. AS many
of these specimens came from waters
known to be very pure, it presented a
difficulty which will require further re-
search to remove. 1t has, however;
been demonstrated that shellfish should
not be grown. stored or fattened in
water to which any possible pollution
may come.-Harper's Weekly.

Deer With Pink Eyes.

An albino deer, with coat as white
as snow and eyes delicate pink, was
killed in the Canyon Mountains Of
Southern Oregon. recently. 1t was one
of the very few albino deer ever seen
in the mountains of the West. Old hunt
ers tell of seeing them, usually separate
from the main herds, at various times
during the early days: but they were
too shy to be approached near enough
for a shot. The deer killed in the Can
yon Mountains was with four other
deer at the time it was found, and had
not this been true the hunters would
not have taken it for a deer. It's white
coat made it far more conspicuous than
the remainder of the herd, and IL is
perhaps for this reason that albino
deer are Stunned by their mates.

Gets His Revenge.

Uriah Utter, an old citizen of Amity,
New York, has just purchased the an
cient schoolhouse in which he obtained
his education. AS soon as he got pos
session of it he set men to work tear
ing it down and destroying the ma
terial, out of revenge for some of the
whippings which he received beneath
its roof.
Mr.. Utter says the punishment he
received in his school days sixty years
ago was unjust, and through all his
life he has held bitter feelings against
the teacher who administered the
thrashings and has also regarded the
old school building as his enemy.
Years ago he declared that if the op-
portunity ever offered he would de-
stroy the building, and with that end
in view he saved sufficient money to
purchase the structure and obliterate
it.-Philadelphia North American.

Secret Service Agents Discover a
Scheme to Counterfeit ColOm-
bian Paper Money.

bian Paper Money.
What is believed to have been plan
to counterfeit on an elaborate scade
$100 notes of the republic Of Colombia
was discovered recently by Captain
William ]. Flynn of the United States
Secret Service, and frustrated, although
no arrests have yet been made. One of
the men implicated is a Colombian who
lives in Lefferts Park and whose wife
is at the head of charity. Another is
an Italian architect of Barranquilla.
Colombia, who is at present living in
this city.
F. A. Ringler & Co. of No. 26 Park
place Informed the Secret Service Bu-
reau of the Colombian's visit to their
establishment for the purpose of having
made a plate for the reproduction of
Colombian one hundred dollar bills. of
which he carried one. They told him to
call the next day. and then told Captain
Flynn. By communicating with the
Colombian Consul General in this city
the captain learned that the man who
ordered the plate had no authority to
do so. Captain Flynn called him to
his office, where he made an affidavit
placing all the blame on his friend, the
italian. This affidavit which was
made in the presence of Lillian Her
bert Andrews, counselor of the Colorl-
bian Legation, said:
Il first met (name of frend) at the
BarranquilIa office of the Hamburg
American Steamship Company.
went there TO buy a ticl-et for New
York. He was there for the same
purpose. He is a Mason and he rec
ognized in me a brother in that order.
l supposed he was good man.
Il next saw him on board the
steamer Allegheny, on which we sailed
for New York, arriving here on Jan
uary IL, 1904. On the trip he asked
me To do an errand for him here as
he talks no English. He asked me to
get the price of a plate for making
one hundred dollar bills. 1 was di-
rected to f. A. Ringler & Co. No.
26 Park place, and was told to call
next day. In the meantime I received
letter from the Colombian Consul
General, whom I knew, telling me to
call at the consulate. Then L went
to - and asked him if he had au-
thority TO have the plate made and
he said he had not. Thereupon I
went to Ringler and got back the
note
There are. it is alleged. several dis
crepancies in the foregoing statement,
which were shown by search Of the
home of the man who made It, by
secret service agent. A reporter was
Informed that evidence was found
which might or might not be incrin-
mating" This evidence is now in the
hands of the secret service officials.
The italian was examined on the
same day. He contradicted the state
ment of the other man as to their
meeting for the first time few
months ago. He said that they had
known each other for many years and
that their wives were close friends.
He denied all knowledge of the order
for a plate.-New York Tribune

continued for several minutes and a
hemorrhage resulted. As he slowly bled
to death he realized his condition and
called his wife and seven children
around him. His neighbors and friends
were summoned, as were physicians.
AS he lay on the bed, his life's blood
ebbing away, he talked.
First, TO his wife and to an intimate
friend and fellow worker, he gave in
structions regarding his funeral
"Cremate me-" he gasped. You
know our compact, Lubahn. Don't
bury me in the ground"
Lubahn promised and Pollock bade
all farewell Then for ten minutes he
described his dying sensations.

Judge saves the snorer.

Postmaster General Payne tells a
good story of an incident in a Mil
waukee courtroom. in which, through
the kindness and tact of the Judge. the
court crier was saved from a fine. Il
one day attended" said Mr. Payne, "a
session of the court at which this Judge
presided. The court crier was very
old man: he had served with fidelity
for many years. but age was beginning
now to tell on him. He fell asleep
while I was in the courtroom and in 4
little while he was snoring. The snorer,
of course. disturbed the proceedings of
the court, but the Judge showed great
tact in interrupting without embarrass-
ing the crier. Crier JONES'. he said
in loud voice: 'Crier Jones. some one
is snoringi' The crier awakened with
a start and jumped to his feet.
'Silencei' he exclaimed. There must
be no snoring in the courtroom
he gIared fiercely all about him.
