CONGRESSMAN
WANT REST
OPPOSITION TO MARCH DATE
FOR THE EXTRA
SESSION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Members
OF the ways and means committee
generally do not favor the proposition
to advance the date of the extra ses-
sion to March s, as was suggested by
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, yes
terday. Members of the committee
feel that breathing space" Of at
least ten days should be allowed the
house after the Inauguration for the
organization of the committees and
putting the finishing touches on the
tariff bills. 1t is pointed out in this
connection that with hearings run
ming into February and the work of
going over the data gathered at these
hearings will in all probability occupy
the time Of the committee until, II not
after the day of the Inauguration.
Although the question of reporting
all committee as yet, 1t can be stated
with confidence that none Of the CON-
mitteemen expect the schedules to be
reported into the house In one BILL

Samuel Forsythe, of North Fair
mont, suburb of Cincinnati, be-
lieves he has the best dog on earth,
as he does not need an alarm clock
to wake him in the morning to be In
time for work. His dog, which is
only mongrel. does 1t for him.
Forsythe says that he spent much
time In learning that the dog could
arouse him. By watching he found
that his dog almost invariably awak-
ened at about the same time as its
MISTER, 80 on retiring each night he
tied a bell to one Of the dogs legs.
The dog on awakening rang the bell
until released.
Forsythe says the plan has failed
only once In two months.

MANY DEATHS
ALARM BERLIN
Scores of Tramps Die Suddenly
From Strange Disease.
THE PUBLIC FEARS CHOLERA
Obscure Bacteria Affect Only the
Weak-Death Comes often in IS
Minutes-Many Of the Victims
in Hopeless Condition.

Berlin.-This city is scared by the
mysterious poisoning OF many tramps.
More than fifty men have died since
the outbreak Of a strange disease in
the Central Municipal Shelter on Froe-
belstrasse in the eastern part Of the
city. Sixty or seventy of the home
less lodgers are lying seriously i'll in
the hospitals throughout Berlin.
To add to the popular alarm man
has died in Potsdam and two in a barn
in a suburb having symptoms like
those shown in the Berlin cases.
More cases are being rushed TO the
hospitals hourly.
On Christmas Day some Of the 4,5OO
destitute men in the Shelter took In
smoked herring to add to the meal of
bread and soup furnished by the au-
thorities Those in charge of the in
stitution deny that they supplied the
fish. which, it seems, started the mys-
terious epidemic. During the night
dozens of men in the forty dormitories
began to groan and complain of great
pain. Eighteen died within "a hours.
A suggestion of cholera has been
made, but the medical authorities still
adhere to their theory that the illness
is a rapid form Of ptomaine poisoning,
caused by the eating OF spoiled
smoked herring. Still the bacteriolog-
lists are puzzled. Public apprehension
suggests cholera as 1t is known that
a few Of the victims were not inmates
of the Shelter.
Six autopsies have been made, but
while the physicians cannot assign a
definite cause Of death, they still in
cline to the theory that it is poisoning
by ptomaines, a putrefaction product
in the smoked herring.
Examination of the viscera and con-
tents shows signs OF typical bacterial
poison, but these are SO slight as to
make it impossible to find basis for
a positive diagnosis. The investiga-
tors, however, announce that there
are no indications of contagious dis
ease.
Many OF those who have been taken
sick have, II is said, been victims Of
suggestion. They display the critical
symptoms, but on examination prove
not to have been poisoned.
The course Of the disease is always
the same 1t begins with dizziness,
which is quickly followed by internal
cramps, vomiting and agOnizing con-
vulsions. In acute cases death some
times ensues in fifteen minutes.

The Connolsseur.

Joseph f. Widener, being congratu-
lated at the Ritz-Carlton in New York
on the excellence of his fathers pic
lures, smiled and said:
Yes, my father has been a discreet
collector He is not like the New
York millionaire whom Sargent Wis
tied.
Sargent was taken by this million
airs through a huge gallery of dubi-
Gus Rembrandts. Titians. Raphaels and
Murillos.
"'Mr. Sargent the millionaire said,
gazing pompously at the long lines OF
vast, dingy canvases. L have decided
to leave my pictures TO some public In
stitutlon. What institution would you
suggest

lmpracticable SUGGESTION.

Robert Henri, the artist, was talk
ing at a tea at Sherry's, in New York.
about the Latin quarter.
"In the Latin Quarter" he said, I'm
little streets off the Boule Mich, II is
possible to get a good dinner for Is
cents-and even at that there's many
a Latin Quarterite goes dinnerless."
Mr.. Henri smiled and sighed.
"One spring afternoon" he resumed,
"as | was sketching the horses of the
green bronze fountain In the Luxem-
bourg Gardens, youth stopped and
talked awhile.
THE spring sunshine on the youths
coat brought out all its shabbiness mer-
cilessly, and l ventured to hint:
Look here, old chap, why don't you
have that coat turned?'
"He smoothed the shabby sleeves
ruefully.

sides
