What the Middle Is.

The chairman of the State committee
is William NJ. o. Dawson. His opponent
is c. f. Feeters. The latter charges
that Dawson is using the machinery OF
the State committee TO have himself
elected governor. Feeters Is a candidate
for the place. and resigned from the
committee, according to custom.
Dawson later announced his candidacy
and refused to resign. though in the re-
fusal he has been violating an unwritten
law of State politics.

Modern Annoyances.
From the Hartford Courant.


A possibly well-meanng habit among peo-
pie who want your money is becoming a
public nuisance. 1t has become customary
nowadays, when an entertainment Is to be
given, especially If 1t Is a more or less char
table affair. to send a bunch of numbered
tickets to John Smith or John Jones, with a
note informing him that these are to be
sold and he is to account for the proceeds.
Primarily, the notion is to get some money.
which charities, like the rest Of us, can al
ways find place for; and the Idea no doubt
prevails that smith or Jones es, WIN , say TO
buyers. and will just draw his check for
the bunch. and let 1t go at that.
That served while and when the game
was new, but now 1t has taken on chronic
qualities, and the public are weary1ng. One
sufferer recently remarked In this ONCE
that his invariable rule as to all such In
closures was to chuck them into his waste
basket on arrival. He hadn't asked for
them, and he wasn't going to use them, and
they were In the way. When you come to
analyze it, there is a lot Of calm impudence
In the whole proceeding.

These also invited the person receiving the

involved opening 1t first for examination,
then wrapping 1t up again, ana nnaliy car
rylng or sending 1t to the express ONCE. NO
doubt different people treated the episode
Inherently, but in one case the book just
lay where 1t was put on arrival. successive
inquiries about 1t from the puDHsning mouse
were put with the book, and at last along
came the expressman under orders from
the publishers to get the book and carry 1t
back to them: Then It went, but It need

SIMPLE AND USEFUL ANTIDoTE
For Carbonc Acid Poisoning Found in
Turpentine.
From the London News,

remarkable discovery has apparently
been made by a Dublin veterinary surgeon
named Allen, respecting an antidote for
carbolic acid poisoning.
Some time ago his attention was drawn
to two horses which were evidently suffer-
ing from poisoning. On examining one lac
noticed that the mucous surface of the
mouth was blanched and that the amin Al

twitching Of the muscles. the eyes were
staring, and the animal WAS rapidly as

asked for some Oil. linseed for preference.
II not. any kind of oil that was handy.
Some was brought, and about two wine
glassfus administered to of the ami
mails. the effect being. to quote the words
of Mr.. Allen, miraculous. For the first
time he then noticed that the oil which
had been given to the horse was the ordf-
nary turpentne of commerce. So satisfied
he with the result that he gave the
second horse a dose. although at that time
the animal was unconscious In about ten
minutes II recovered. and both horses were

Mr.. Allen administered dose of turpen-
tine that happened to be on the premises.
and the man not only quickly recovered,
but resumed his work within an hour.
Turpentine antidote in similar
cases had been previously unknown, and
representative of the Daily News recent
