Phosphorous in Stomach.

DR.. William H. Taylor, who made a
chemical analysis of the stomachs of the
two children of Mrs. j. Edward Perkins
who died under mysterious circumstances
several weeks ago, yesterday in Rich
mond testified before a coroner's jury
impaneled for the purpose of investigat-
ing the death of the children that it is
conclusive to his mind that both the chill
dren came to their death from phos-
phorous poisoning; but whether the poison
was administered accidentally or by de-
sign remains to be determined. The physi-
clan cautiousl y refrains from saying that
the little boy and girl were murdered, but
the inference is clear that he regards the
affair as a crime. The story which he
related was almost grewsome in its de-
tails. The stomachs Of the children, he
testified, were infamed and that of the
little boy, when subjected to heat, gave
out vivid flashes of peculiar light. The
threatening letters and postal cards re-
ceived by Mrs. Perkins, some Of which
we're signed with the initials of a neigh
Dor of the Perkins family, were read 10
the jury. One of the letters purports to
show that jealousy was the cause of the
poisoning OF the two children. Mr. and
Mrs. Perkins, the parents of the dead
children, were present at the inquest, as
was also Mrs Mamie Mcdowell, also
known as Mrs. Bryant. Evidence has
been gathered tending to show that Mrs.
Perkins mother, Mrs. Matte Johnson,
was confined in an insane asylum prior
to her death, and that her mania took
the form of desire to kill her own child.

Some seasonable Advice.

1t may be piece of super6uous adj
vice TO urge people at this season of tn;
year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at band.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hest
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Gibson & Tim
herman and w. +. Creighton & Co.

EFFORTS to arrange a new treaty be-
tween the United States and China
have been suspended to await the
action of Congress on the amending of
the exclusion act. 1t is expected that
President Roosevelt will make recon-

message. Something had better be done
in reference to this Chinese exclusion
matter or surely the Chinese boycott
against American goods and wares will
be continued at a great loss to the

of the rottenness they have discovered in

Allegheny, Pa. 1t is now practically
admitted that the smash is one Of the
worst and most disgrscefu in the ma

concern is felt in the Comptroller's Office
over the pointed and persisten: questions
asked in many quarters as to the useful
ness of the present system of national

from what is permitted to leak out, that
Receiver Cunningham s investigation has
fully borne out the suspicious ex-
listing in Pittsburg that the crookedness
in the management of the Enterprise
had been going on for a long period, and
that in some way those guilty of it sue
ceeded in concealing it from the national
bank examiners, who made the regu-
lar examinations of the institution.

spectacular leap to death was witnessed

Children Poisoned.

1t became known yesterday that sew.
en- .een girls, whose ages range from two
TO six years, at the ST. Joseph Orphan
Asylum in Burlington, VT, were taken
suddenly ill Thursday night and three
of them died within three hours. At an
autopsy held under the auspices OF the
State board OF health, it was deter
mined that the death OF the three girls
was due to poisoning, but that its cause
had not appeared. The girls who were
taken i'll remained at the asylum Thurs
day evening, while the remainder OF the
$50 inmates were taken to an entertain
ment. 1t is supposed that in the absence
of some OF the nurses the children OBJ
tanned something of a poisonous nature
which they all tasted. Physicians were
hastily summoned when the illness was
discovered, but they were unable TO save
three of the little ones. They expressed
the opinion that the others would recov-
er, although some of them are still in q
serious condition.

Ironwood, Mich, Nov. 7.-Writing from Pan
anna, where lie is employed civil engineer,
Lowe Whiting formerly in the service of Go
gebic range mining companies, declares that the
canal project is just big bundle Of red tape
al present. He mentions several instances of
complex procedure, entailing much work with
small results. He says there is an army of
clerks accomplishing practically nothing, and
thinks the administrative feature of the big
ditch proposition could stand great improvement.
Mr. Whiting says that little real work is be-
ing done yet, can the undertaking be prose
cutcd intelligently until the final plans have
been decided ON. Sentiment on the isthmus, at
first strongly in favor of sea-level canal, now
inclines to the adoption Of the French
