Powerful New Poisonous Drug.

Lascellus Scott, of England, has re-
Gently published some startling facts
about cyanid of cacodyl. 1t is a white
powder, melting at thirty-three de-
grees, and boiling at 40 degrees, which
when exposed to air gives off a slight
vapor, to inhale which is death. Its
effect is so powerful that Mr.. Scott
states that he has seer the one-mil-
lionth part of a grain of the drug in
stantly kill four dogs when they were
introduced into an alright cage with it.
While but little known, it was made
many years ago by a noted French
chemist, Cadet. He combined pOtas-
SUM acetate with white arsenic, pro-
lucing a Tuning liquid, oxid of cacodyl.
This, when combined with cyanogen,
a radical of prussic acid, produces
cyanid of cacodyl, thousands of times
more poisonous than the pure prussic
acid.-Albany Medical Annals.

Nemesis of the BuIls.

From Bordeaux wild scenes are re-
ported during a bull fight at Benatte
recently. One of the matadors was
making a pass at his third bull, when
somehow the animal hurled the sword
from his hand and the weapon, after
flying high into the air, fell on the head
of an old sea captain in the auditorium,
who sustained a slight fracture of the
skull and a deep wound two inches
long ove the left eye. The same bull
caught another torero mapping at the
critical moment and gored him so Sc.
verely in the leg that he had to be re-
moved to a hospital. The spectators,
considering these mishaps as proving
the incompetence of the matadors, gave
expression to their opinion after the
approved method of smashing the
benches, hurting them into the arena
and leaving the building.

Rachel Goldstein. -

One of the most emphatic sue
cesses achieved in modern melo-
drama is Theodore Kremer's in
tensely interesting play, Rachel
Goldstein," which is announced
for early presentation here. The
idea of young Yiddish girl as
the heroine and central figure OF
melodrama is entirely original
with Theodore Kremer, the bril-
liant dramatist, who has written
more successful melodramas than
any half-dozen other authors com
bined. ''Rachel Goldstein" is de-
clared to be Kremer's master
piece. 1t is a character study
Astounding in thrilling incidents
which never once outrage possibil-
ity and probability. The story OF
the play is thrilling in the ex-
IRENE, but every scene, every IN
cident and every character is abb
solutely true to life. Will be at
the Auditorium Thursday, Decem-

Aug. Z, 1882, provides that
1.-The open and notorious adulterOus CO.
habitation of widow who is a pensioner
shall operate to terminate her pension
from the commencement of such cOhabita-
tion.''
A decision rendered Nov. Is, 1887 Il T.
d., APO holds:
'.The words open and notorious adul-
ferrous cohabitation,' as used in the act of
August Z, 1882, are descriptive merely OF
acts which would deprive widow of her
pension, and mean that any widow pen
sioner who is guilty of immoral and licen-
tious acts, of an open and adulterOus char
acter, should forfeit her pension"
Also, that
'"rhe birth of q child ont of wedlock is
sufficient proof Of open and notorious adul-
ferrous cOhabitation 10 terminate q widows
pension under the act of August Z. 1882"
A decision rendered June Is, 1883 q T..
d., 49,, holds:
1.-The phrase sadulterous cohabitation' is
not necessarily confined to the meaning
given to the word in criminal decisions
and i'm criminal Jurisprudence; but, az
used in the act Of August Z. 1882, must
by regarded as descriptive of acts OF ini'
morality and lewdness."
1t is held that all right and title to pen
sion is irreyocably terminated from tho
commencement of such course of life, ir-
respective of subsequent reform, and
whether the widow he already pensiOned
or simply claiming pension. 1t is held,
however. that the law is not retroactive
and applies only when 'Open and notorious
adulterous cohabitation." within the con-
strued meaning, as above, has existed
