Fischer-Hansen's counsel. We talked the

This proposition was placed before the
Court and approved. The plea was made
subsequently In open court.

contemplated In Fischer -Hansen's de-

IN connection with the revelations made
by the man from the South and that he

NO UNDER SECRETARY or STATE
House Insists on "yice" After Mr.. rtL-
gerald Consults the Dictionary.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Representative
Fitzgerald Of New York had fun yesterday
with the purists Of the Senate. whom he
charged with carele essness in the use OF the
English language There was under con-
sideration the Senate proposition to au-
thorize the appointment Of an Under SEQ
retary Of State The House oonferees on
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill had recommended that
it gree TO the amendment, with change
OF the title TO Vice-Secretary and reduo-
ton Of the salary from SIC, 900 TO $500.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said he had found by
consulting the dictionary. which he COM
mended TO members. that Vice-Secretary
was much to be preferred to Under Secre-
tary The former meant one who stands
for another, while under was described
TO be the lower man or the one worsted
In conflict Far be IL from me to suggest
that the Senate meant that the Under
Secretary was the man TO be worsted In
diplomatic struggle, but it grieves me to
see the carelessness with which members
Of that body deal with the English
language
The House refused to recede from its
disagreement to the amendment, 20 to i3t.
The same action was had a. TO the pro-
posed Fourth Assistant Score tary Of

HAD POISON IN HI BEARD.
As He Ate II Fell on His Food and He Fell
Over Unconscious Pumped Out

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2.-W. c. Deutz
of 289 South Fourth street on Monday was
the proud possessor Of beard which was
the admiration and the envy OF large
circle OF fellow employees Of the Mulford
Chemical Company. To-day it is no more.
This morning while Mr. Deutz was
weighing bichloride Of mercury his beard
came in contact with the deadly poison and
many grains were secreted in IT, Shortly
afterward the whistle for the dinner hour
blew and, being more hungry than dis
Greet, the chemist went 70 lunch with
out preparing the facial appendage for
the event, as was usually his wont
At the table as Deutz ate the whisk ers
kept time to the masticating process
showering little grains Of bichloride upon
each particle Of food. Soon afterward
were borfified to see him
tumble to the floor, his body doubled up
in agony. Antidotes were given him,
but of no avail, and the unconscious man
was hurried to the hospital, There the
stomach pump was used and the poison
drawn from his system, Deutz rallied
quickly from the experience TO face the
fact that as long as the beard remained
with the grains Of poison seoreted in it
there was possibility that he might
again eat its contents. So he has no
whiskers now.

Mr. Fleetwood. regarding the project,
says;
Contrary to recent pulpit utterances
the theatre has had among all civiliza-
tons distinctly religious origin. and is
to-day capable Of great moral good.
In England the first plays were conducted
by the Church specifically for the purpose
of illustrating scriptural teaching and
OF quicIening the popular conscience.
They were called morality plays. and still
survive in such impressive dramas as
'Eyerynan.'
Il should not for a moment deny that in
some instances the present day theatrical
productions have harm in them. but it
is equally true that present day religious
exercises have harm in them. l should
not. for that reason. wish to abolish religion
or the Church. nor should | wish for that
