BEAN VICTIM UNCONSCIOUS
Columbia Student Has Even Chance
Physicians Believe

Samuel Dworkin, the student in the
Columbia school OF pharmacy who
vas poisoned on Tuesday by chewing
q jequirity bean. was unconscious In
the Harlem Hospital last night. Dr.
Kahn. the house physician believes he
has an even chance of recovery. The
beans are also known as chicken
eyes and love beans.
Physicians said they had never
heard of another case of poisoning
from this bean, a product of the East
Indies. From it are produced abric
acid and abrin toxin.
The poison acts on the system in
somewhat the same way as bichlor,de
of mercury The only antidote for it
is jequitol serum, which has been in
jected into Dworkin.
He got the bean while in class,
during which few of them were
passed around. He put it in his
pocket and on the way to his home,
1913 East 1l2th street, he absentmind-
eddy put it in his mouth.

Union Churches

This town is I'm a position where it
might easily, and we believe benef-
cially, adopt plan of church work
that is becoming more and more ex-
tended among the rural communities.
We refer to the partial consolidation
of churches-unionizing as much as
possible, giving more attention to the
spread of gospel teachings than to
the forms and crede connected with
1t. Probobly all will agree that in
stead of four churches in this town
there should be only two-one in
village. But which two? All. there's
the rub. However. none need be en-
tirely eliminated. Two churches may
unite in paying one preacher. and the
members may still worship each ac.
cording TO his own creed. Would It
not be far better FOR this village to
have one fair-salaried preacher than
TO have two ministers struggling
along on meager salaries? Would
not the total church attendance be
larger, and would not the results be

the two churches OF this village in

which is not new by any means nor

them is without a pastor. and when
the time is nearing for the annual Sc.

DEcADENcE OF GOOD PRINTERS
As It Appeals to Matter With Town
Reports in Hand

The Reporter Office is driven to its
utmost to get out town reports, and
the proprietor is obliged to do more
than two mems work every day to &C
complish what its patrons desire. AS
years go by, the quality of the aver
age printer at all willing to work is
very much below former standards,
and il 1t we're not for the skill of the
oldfashioned printer-proprietor, who
learned the trade properly, we do not
know what the printing business
would come to. The old-fashioned
tramp, now gone by, worthless vag-
abond at his worst, was infinitely bet
ter than the best that offers today.
Men supposed to be printers cannot
set type, cannot spell, cannot run a
press, cannot read proof, or do any
thing worth while without being fol-
lowed at very step by someone who
knows. This Office, wholly ON ac-
count of the active work of the pro-
prietor, is sought by people all over
New England to do their printing,
and yet with all his instruction to
those who should be the coming print
ers, finds il hard work to teach the
rising generation a trade that will be
worth while in the future. A first
class printer will be worth his weight
in gold in few years, and yet there
was never time. the world over,
when the average printer had so lit
tie knowledge of literature or OF the
use and meaning of words. A page
of manuscript copy is now merely a
page of arbitrary signs to be copied
as near as eyesight can make them
out. What blasted shame From
