eminent service. .
For some time the new Secretary's chlef
field of labor will be the general land Of
fee. So persistent have been the rumors
of Irregularities in that office In the past
few years and SO notorious have certain
land cases become throughout the country
that Mr.. Garfield, with the assistance OF
Commissioner Ballinger, is going to find
out what is the matter, If anything, and
right 1t. 1t is his idea to raise the land
office entirely above suspicion and quiet
rumors, either by reforming the methods
or by showing that nothing irregular
exists In this work particularly the new
Secretary has the warm support of the
President
First Official Order.
Secretary Garfield's first official order
as head Of the Department of the Interior
has been issued and refers to the subject
of annual and sick leave. The feature Of
the order is that it prohibits any clerk
from taking sick leave for a shorter period
than half day. This is done on the
supposition that If a clerk is sick enough
to remain away from work he is sick
enough to remain away at least half q
day, and 1t is to prevent clerks from get
ting away for an hour or a half an hour
during the day on the plea Of headache,
when there is no real excuse for 1t.
The order is as Follows: f-ts
1.-THE head of each bureau or office OF
this department is hereby authorized to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-03-13

may be granted leave at the rate of two
and half days a month from the date of
appointment to the end Of the calendar
year; but those persons transferred from
one bureau to another may be granted the
leave they would have received If not trans
ferred.
Absence In office hours. or by reason of
late arrival or early departure, shall be
charged to the appropriate leave account"

 One of the peculiarities of New York which surprises visitors from other piaces IS the localixation of particular tndustries-the fact that most of the Dig department stores are cheek by 1owi along one avenue the piano warerooms filling several successive DOCKS of another and so on through the whole roll of businesses. Ordinari- ly these competitors dwell together in peace and harmony but occasionally a trade war breaks out among them. What is more unusual is a war between neighboring shops In different lines of business. but such a struggle has af- forded entertainment for pedestrians one one of the downtown streets this week / cigar dealer fell out with the proprietor of fountain pen store neyt to him and started the trouble by announcing on a huge placard: Free! 31.00 Gold Pen

 The pen man came back with a sign that read:

The vaudeville bill at the Casino Theatre. Electric Park. this week promises to be full of interest and equally as good as the attractions of- fered at the~cozy park playhouse last week.

 Speaking of this bill. The Savannah Press of recent days says:
 "The hit of the bill Is the Marvellous Mells. This team never appeared be- fore . more appreciative audience. and their work was encoed to the echo. The muscular poses. with spotlight effect, was something out of the or dinary. The herculean feats on the Roman rings were astonishing. The contortion work of Mile Mells is won derfui This team will only be at this theatre this week and should be seen by all admirers of athletic work"

 Nicander of coiophon (so4-1ss B. C., wrote the most ancient works extant | on the subject of poisons. In one treatise he described the effects of snake venom; in another he considered the properties of opium, henbane. cer- tain fungi. cOlchcum. aoonite and con- tium. and recommended antidotes for them.
 Dioscorides (40-s0 A. D. described the effects of canthrarides. sulphate of copper, mercury. lead and arsenic. He described poisons under three heads; and mineral poisons.
 Poisnon lore. "poison-lehr." as il was long called, was considered a for- bidden subject for many ages. Gaten, in his work "orl Antidotes." remarks that the only authors who dared to write of poisons were Orpheus. Theol. 9EIs. Morus. Mendesius the younger. Heliodorus of Athens. Aratus. and 4 few others. Unfortunately none of their treatisee Is In existence.
 The sacred writings of India show for suicide, robbery, and revenge. and here we learn that the original cattle poisoners lived In India. The Asiatics knew arsenic. aconite, opium and other poisons.

Excitement on Commerce street Dus
 to Canine With Rabies.
 Considerable excitement was caused on Commerce and neighboring streets last evening by a mad dog running at large through the city and causing much fright by his rapacious snaps at citizens and other animals that rosssd his path.
 On Commerce Street, the dog bit one white man and negro, and 1t Is said that he also bit number of dogs who were running through the streets.
 When last seen, the dog was on Union and Pollard Streets. where sev- eral policemen managed to get ,hot at him. but not within near enough distance to disturb the dogs frame of mind At an early hour this morning he had not been reported as killed.

New York. July 13.-During the past ten days the great summer eflux from
 New York has been taking place. The first of July markaf the real beginning of the hot weathershegira and 1t is es- ttmated that since that date a quarter of million persons have left the city for vacation jaunts of long or. short duration. Europe captured a good pro- portion of these-as many as the ocean liners leaving the port could carry. Tour-fifths of the total. however. has been divided about equally between the seashore, the mountains and the folks back home." Rows upon rows of the houses on upper Fifth Avenue and the fashionable side streets have been boarded up for the summer, but still the city is not deserted for almost every departing vacationist has been replaced by a visitor from the west or South or from southern countries who wisely chooses this season to visit Manhattan Island. While the crowd in the street assumes a differ ent character the Streets are still crowded, the "rubberneck wagons" roll merri1y on their way and the hotel and theatrical roof garden offer coolness combined with not too heavy pabulum to undiminished crowds. At no other season does New York so thoroughly Justify its title of 'The City of Strang- ers."
 While Andrew Carnegie is trying to convince Emperor William of the de- sirability of putting an. end to wars between nations. President Van Cleave of the National Association of Manu- lecturers. is following up vigorously his plan for the creation of fund or $500,O00 year for the next three years A. La fn UfnO ah0llt COnd1 ,tions of more permanent industrial peace. MT. Van Cleave emphatically denies the report published in several newspapers that a concerted war on union labor is contemplated. but says that abuses of unionism will come Tn for attack from his association. In the platform just announced he in- 'cludes seven blanks coming within this category for which his association Will contend. These are: the open shop; no restrictions as to the use of tools, ma chinery or materials. except as to such as are unsafe; no limitation of output; no restrictions as to the number Of ap- prentices and helpers when of proper age: no boycott; no sympathetic strike.- no sacrifice of the independent work- ingman to the labor union; no cum- pulsory use of the union label. Among other objects for which the proposed organization is to labor are the pro- motion of industrial education; the or ganization of labor bureaus for the use of members; defense of employers fighting in support of any or the prih ciples advocated by the associatioh' ana onnosition to unfair legislation. The difiiculty in securing supply Of labor and the decrease in the en1ciency or inc labor obtained are given as among the reasons that have moved employers to take this step.

 The most interesting feature of the poison lore of Egypt, however. is the fact that the Egyptians were acquaint- ed with prussia acid. one Of the most deadly poisons. They distilled 1t from peaeh ee 1n As tSs hoavre Ioa ess there is an an . cient Egyptian papyrus on which has been deciphered:

 This Is supposed to be a death warn ing, to those who might be tempted to reveal mysteries in connection with the religious rites of the priests.
 It Is certain that the Romans learned of prussic acid from the Egyptians, for history has 1t that in the reign of Tiberius Roman knight accused of treason drank poison and fell dead at the feet of the Senators.
