The Morning News is forced to discon
tinue, tor the present, the publication of
the story entitled “A False Position,” begun
last Sunday. The manuscript of the story,
mailed in England, has failed to reach the
agents in New York who have the handling
of it.
The Morning News, therefore, has sub
stituted a brilliant story of love and war
by Capt. Hawley Smart, a soldier novelist,
entitled “Beatrice and Benedick ;A Romance
of the Crimea.” It is in the author’s happi
est vein. It is full of movement and there
are numerous soones of highly-wrought
sensation. The action takes place in Eng
land and the Crimea, the Btory opening just
prior to the outbreak of the war with Rus
sia. From start to finish this new novel of
Capt. Smart’s will be found brimful of in
terest, exciting without being unduly sensa
tional, full of variety and with a romantic
termination. Cap?. Smart is one of the best
and most widely known writers in England.
Smallpox is giving Nebraska a terrific

Baltimore is naturally shocked to learn

Finally the fiat has gone forth that the

the pertinent inqury: Does this order apply

that point will now interest the country
greatly.
Col. Polk !b Willing.
An Atlanta dispatch in the Morning
News yesterday contained the Information
that Col. Polk, president of the National
Farmers’ Alliance, in an interview in that
city announced his willingness to accept the
nomination of the People’s party for Presi
dent. Col. Poik said that he was not anx*
ious for the nomination, and would not put
himself in the position of seeking it, but
that he could not refuse to serve his people.
It is not clear whether in speaking of bis
people be meant the farmers’ alliance or the
other folks who were present at the Cincin
nati conference which gave birth to the
People's party. He must have meant the
other folks, because the farmers’ alliance
has announced many times that it is not a
political organization, and therefore has
nothing to do with the People’s party.
But CoL Polk is at the head of the
farmers’ alliance, and is willing to be at the
head of the new party! Is it not probable
that his purpose is to do all he can to bring
the farmers’ alliance to the support of the
People’s party with the hope that be will be
the chosen leader of that party. It cer
tainly looks that way. While other, but
less prominent, leaders of the farmers’
alliance in the south are advising that the
alliance should take no step looking to the
support of the People’s party until it be
comes evident whether the Democratic
party will concede the demauds of the
farmers’ alliance CoL Polk is commend
ing the principles of the People’s party, and
in that way doing all he can
to create a sentiment among ailiancemen in
favor of that party. Indeed, he talks as if
he thought the Peoples party was the crea
tion of the farmers’ alliance, and that the
farmers’ alliance ought to indorse and sup
port it without hesitation.
Is not Col. Polk’s ambition getting the
better of bis judgment? If he is not careful
he will find himself in the People’s party
without the farmers’ alliance at his back.
He may have a good deal of influence with
ailiancemen, but it is doubtful if he is yet
big enough to draw the farmers’ alliance
into anew political organization. It would
be very gratifying to him, no doubt, to be
nominated for President by the People’s
party, even though that party should not
have a ghost of a chance to elect its ticket.
But, evidently, he thinks that it would have
a very good prospect for success if it could
get the solid support of the farmers’
alliance.
There is no evidence yet, however, that
southern ailiancemen are going into the
new party movement. There are some who
will be found in the ranks of that party,
but the vast majority of them are still true
to the Democratic party, and are likely to
remain so.
And the ailiancemen of the west are not
so much in favor of the new party as they
were a few weeks ago. In our dispatches
last Tuesday there was convincing evidence
that in Kansas, where the People's party is
strongest, the republican members of the
alliance are passing resolutions announcing
their purpose to return to the Republican
party. Iu the face of such resolutions it is
not at all probable that alliance democrats
in the south will abandou the Democratic
party at the bidding of Col. Polk or any
body else.
Defaulting Life Insurance Agents.
A great deal of sensation has been created
in life insurance circles in New York by
the publication that Julio Merzbacker,
manager of the Spanish-American business
of the New York Lite Insurance Company,
is a defaulter for more than $250,000.
The New York Life Insurance Company is
one of the oldest and richest life insurance
companies in the world, and any publica
tion relating to its affairs attracts attention.
Since the publication relating to Merz
backer other statements have appeared in
the public prints which indioata that other
agents have defaulted, and that the com
pany is out as much as $700,000. One of
these agents, who is alleged to be short in
his accounts, has charge of the company’s
London business.
There are, of course, many rumors afloat
relative to the company’s affairs, one of
them, published in the Herald, being that
the company’s losses are nearer $3,000,000
than $700,000. The officers of the company
are disposed to be retioent, though they
promptly deny that the company has suf
fered any permanent loss whatever.
The company’s assets are $115,000,000, and
its surplus is between $15,000,000 and
$16,000,000. A loss of even $3,000,000,
therefore, would uot shako confidence in its
solvency in the least.
It seems that banks are not the only finan
cial institutions that are affiioted with dis
honest officials. They are found every
where, wherever there is a chance to steal.
Cities maintain at great expense a police
force to guard the property of citizens
against sneakthieves and burglars. It looks
as if the time were near at hand when a
regular corps of detectives would have to
be maintained to watch those who are en
trusted With the management of institu
tions to which the people entrust their
money.
Within a few months quite a number of
banks in New York and Philadelphia have
been either partly or wholly wrecked by
their offioers, and there is scarcely a day
that a defalcation in some part of the coun
try is not announced.
Lite insurance companies, however, as
far as the public knows, have been singu
larly free from losses through dishonest of
ficials. There are great safeguards thrown
around them, and that is one of
the reasons, perhaps, that they have
not suffered to a very great ex
tent from thieves who have aocess to their
treasuries. But it seems that these safe
guards are not entirely sufficient.
The thieves are shrewder than the law
makers. They are more diligent in finding
ways to get what doe* not belong to them
than they are in earning an honest living.
And defalcations will never be cheoked,
however stringent the criminal laws may
be or however vigorously they may be en
forced, as long as detected defaulters are ad
mitted to the society of honest men.
Talk abcut “skinning” people, but there is
a man in Kansas City who did aotually skin
about 1,000 of his friends to better his own
condition. It was because he had been so
badly soalded that all the skin peeled off
both his legs, and his brethren in the Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias contributed
each a small portion of cuticle which was
grafted on until he was made whole again.
Bat both orders have frequently been figur
atively skinned much worse than that. Still
it was skillful surgery.
When that promised test of typesetting
maohines does finally occur in Chicago it
ought to be something wonderfnl if the
elaborate preparations have aDy effeot upon
it. Meanwhile the tourist typo chews upon
bis quid and warms the stick with the aui
l matioa of his “motion.”
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1891.
Blaine's Popularity.
There is no doubt that Mr. Blaine is the
most popular of the republican leaders. His
popularity has steadily increased since he
has been a member of President Harrison's
cabinet. As much cannot be said of any
other member of the cabinet The applause
which Mr. Blaine’s name elicited in the re
publican state convention at Columbus,
0., on Tuesday, was remarkable. It was a
demonstration of which any man might be
proud.
Not long ago, at the annual meeting of
the republican leagues, there was a similar
demonstration when the name of Mr.
Blaine was mentioned. Ex-Gov. Foraker
give him credit for whatever was worth
praisiDg in the Harrison adminstration,
and the delegates assented with shouts of
approval. Those of the President’s In
diana friends who were present were in
dignant at the treatment the President re
ceived, but they could do nothing in the
face of the overwhelming Blaine senti
ment.
Do not these demonstrations in bckslf of
Mr. Blaine indicate that he will be the
presidential nominee of the Republican
party next year? They certainly show
that a great effort is being made to bring
about his nomination, and that there Is a
fair prospect that it will be successful.
But would Mr. Blaine accept the nomi
nation? Nobody seems to be authorized to
speak for him. At the secret conference of
republican leaders at Indianapolis the other
day one of the most prominent members of
the conference said that he knew that if
Mr. Blaine's name was placed before the
nominating convention there would be uo
letter withdrawing It, as there was in 1888.
This would eesm to indicate that Mr. Blaine
will be a candidate for the nomination if
there is any chance for his getting it.
Mr. Blaine seems to be practicably out of
the cabinet. He has not, of course, resigned,
but he has not been in Washington for sev
eral weeks, and the duties of his office are
being performed by Mr. Foster. It would
not be surprising if he should resign at an
early day. He has accomplished about all
that it is possible for him to accomplish be
fore the meeting of the national convention
that would tend to strengthen him with his
party, and if he is really seeking the nomi
nation there is no good reason why he
should remain in the cabinet.
Indeed, it would hardly be pleasant for
him to do so in view of the fact that the
President iB a candidate for a renomination.
The President would be suspicious of him,
and it would be about impossible for them
to get along together.
And it is worthy of notice that the Presi
dent, since his return from bis swing around
the circle, has been opening negotiations
with the men who did so much to elect him,
but who have been given the cold shoulder
by him. The men ot the Quay and Dudley
stamp have been called in consultation.
They are smart politicians, and the Presi
dent, it seems, finds that he will have to de
pend upon them largely fora renomination.
It is not a matter of much consequence
to the Democratic party whether Gen. Har
rison or Mr. Blaine is the presidential can
didate of the Republican party. The
democrats, if they act in harmony, can
beat either of them, and there is not much,
if any, doubt that they will be united and
enthusiastic.
Baltimore advices announce that the
Maryland Historical Society has just re
ceived from London a highly-prized photo
graph. 10x12 inches, of the only known
original oil painting of Cecilus Calvert,
second Lord Baltimore. At the loan exhi
bition of the Royal Academy in London, the
painting was catalogued last winter. It is
from the collection of Sir William Eden,
who Is a relative of Robert Eden, the last
colonial governor of Maryland. Gov.
Robert Eden having married Caroline, the
youngest daughter of Charles Calvert, fiifth
Lord Baltimore, the family oonnectiou is
unbroken, and there is no doubt of the orig
inality of the painting. To Maryland it is
a priceless treasure.
Piute Indians did a little lynching in Cali
fornia the other day in their own crude and
aboriginal way. When a jury acquitted a
Chinaman who had lately murdered a Piute
gambler they collared him as he emerged
from the court room and chopped him up
with knives. Now the Chinese consul at
San Francisco is doing the Corte aot in a
mild form and trying to extort some of
Uncle Sam’s squandered surplus wealth in
the shape of indemnity. His Celestial
majesty had better consult King Humbert
before he spends too much on postage and
telegraph tolls. Possibly that might induoe
him to stop and rest.
Britons like to marry American girls,
according to the views of the London Court
Journal, because they are beauties endowed
with good taste and are above all things
possessed of a degree of tact that ap
proaches wisdom, as well as courage and
independence. These are reasons enough
to satisfy anyone. But the acknowledg
ment must be made that many of those do
not go abroad to find titled husbands are by
uo means up to the standard of superiority
described. Nevertheless a great many of
them manage to make themselves very
charming notwithstanding their minor de
ficiencies.
Editor Huribert has not heard the last of
the Gladys Evelyn affair by long odds.
Although the trial of the appeal has been
postponed the plaintiff’s counsel has not by
any means abandoned the hope of success.
Should the case ultimately be reopened it
may prove rather awkward for Mr. Huri
bert and render his 9tay in this country of
indefinite duration. London life has evi
dently had its effect upon the American
editor. With these charges sustained he
would make a congenial companion for the
Prince of Wales.
Another minister has left his denomina
tion because the right to vote was virtually
denied him, he claifbs. Such restrictions
are too narrow for him. No reasonable per
son can blame him. Voting is certainly
not an offense against high heaven. Not
many divines of the Reformed Presby
terian church are brighter than the Rev.
Dr. E. M. Smith, and few ministers in
Baltimore have been more popular. But
be is not willing to relinquish his inherent
rights as an American citixen, and he’s
right.
Brule Indiens have a good reason to object
to being hauled around the country. Very
naturally they do not wish to abandon their
established homes that they have heretofore
been led to believe they owned. It it just
such treatment as this that makes the In
dians restive end inclined to be vicious and
resentful. They have good reason to be
angry. Such vacillating dealings as they
are constantly subjected to is enough to ir
ritate the most amiable of people. No civi
lized race would stand It,

Col. Nicholas Lkbel, inventor of the rifle

He Dreamed on Beauty’s Arm.
He was a small and freckled lad, and she was
a lady fair. The met by chance, the favorite
way. iu au uptown Broadway car.
The day was hot and muggy, says the New
York Advertiser, and he was tired and enor
mously sleepy tor his size. She was a very
pretty young woman, and as she came into the
car as it crawled by the postoffice clad in a cool
blue gown, orowned with a big pink rose at the
apex of her hat and set off by a frosty chate
lame full of useless thing*, every man in that
car felt as agreeable a sensation in his parched
throat as IE he had spied a trapped waterm-lon
set before him in slices of pink abandon.
The best afforded by the car in the way of
seats was proffered to the lady. She smiled a
swift, tbree-eighths smile, and gracefully seated
herself; crossed her neat i atent leathered feet,
with both soles properly down, took a dime
from her silver charity box and held it be
tween her teeth until the conductor came and
exchanged it with an air of courtly grace for a
coin of baser metal.
From Canal street to Grand the observed of
all observers fixed a non-committal gaze upon
that space which lay in a direct line in front of
her pretty nose, and was none the less ad -
mired, of course, for that. At Grand street
“He” got on. Being very young and very
shabby, and of the genuine red-headed errand
boy sort, he was a safe person for Beauty’s
kindness. With a white-gloved hand the crisp
blue skirts were drawn aside. The graceful
form hitched a hand’s breadth to the right,
and a small slice of space thereby made for the
little fellow's repose.

looked up in a startled sort of a way at his fair
friend oidy to meet with a smile of bland en
couragement. He was such a ciean-ragged, re
spectable little being, so distinctly the sou of his
mother, and she a poor widow.
Again his eyelids wavered and again he slept,
only to be hunched off the arm of a iight-brown
dude against whom he had lurched. Once more
awakened, once more to sleep. He had tried
the window, he had tried to sit upright and
sleep, he had tried the light brown dude, and
there was no peace in them. There was no
refuge left but the oeing in blue.
Yet once again the little lad slept, and, like
most persons, he slept along the line of least re
sistance. His thin arm rested against her
shapely one. It was not rebuffed. The little
frown between his sandy brows disappeared
then as if it had been puffed away by an angel’s
whisper, and in it* place came a look of vast
content that would have fitted loosely a man
three times his size.
It was growing a little warm for Beauty, but
she bore It bravely, looking down upon the lit
tle fellow with a look of womanly tolerance fit
for a Madonna. Freckled Boy knew it, even
though he slept, and, being well pleased with
his inch, reached out for his ell. Slowly, slowly,
bit by bit, while every man jack in the car held
his breath and thought unutterable things, he
approached his heart's desire. Beauty saw him
coming and blushed furiously, but Freckled
Boy saw not that sweet flag of distress. He was
fast asleep, his cheek snoozled up to that cool,
firm, pillow and his forehead bedewed with the
tiny beads of childish sleep.
With flaming cheeks and down-cast eyes
Beauty held her burden until Washington place
was reached. Then with unutterable gentleness
and a white-gloved hand she raised the sleeping
boy from her arm, leaned him over against the
light brown dude, smiled sweetly and left the
car.
Twelve there were she left Dehind her. One
was the boy and one was the dude; five were
her slaves who thought of her beauty and five
were they who thought what a lot they had had
for the price of admission.
Escaped a Whipping.
When a conductor on a Chicago suburban
train approached a heavy set, red headed fel
low, says the Arkansaw Traveler, the fellow
said:
“Look here, you have already punched my
ticket twice.”
“Well, but why did you give it to me twice?”
“Because,” the fellow replied, “you came
along and held out your hand and I was tempted
to see how often you would punch away my
salary, for it takes about all I can make to buy
a monthly ticket. Hold on,” he added, when
the conductor began to move off. “1 have dis -
covered that you are a robber, and I’m going to
call you to account. I'm going to whip you,
“I reckon not,’’ said the conductor.
“But I reckon I am. I have noticed for sev
eral years a growing disposition on all sides to
rob me, and I have made up my mind that I
am going to whip every man who I fe-l sure is
a robber. I know that you have robbed me,
and lam going to whip you. Wait a minute.
Lest you think there may he some doubt as to
my ability to perform my duty in this matter,
let me say that I have three medals presented
to me by different boxing associations. What
time will you be at leisure?”
“I don’t know,” said the conductor.
“Well, no matter, for X have a day off, and
can ride with you until the desired opportunity
presents itself.”
The conductor, who was evidently disturbed,
went into a forward car. When he returned a
few minutes later he discovered that the
revengeful fellow was gone
"What became of that red-headed man?” he
asked.
“He got off at the last station,” a passenger
replied. “By the way, why didn't you make
him pay his fare?”
“Because he said that I haa already punched
his ticket twice.”
“Yes, he said so; but the truth is you did not
punch it at all. He bad no ticket. He lives at
Madison Park and is known as the biggest dead
beat in the community.”
Bulldozed the Students.
In a little town not fifty miles away, says the
Kanses City Star, a brace of gentlemen not
residents of the village were strolling away an
hour before dinner. One was posted as to the
town and Its belongings, while No. 2 was not.
Passing a large institution of academic sort,
about which and in the street in front many ap
parent pupils were congregated, the unin
formed inquired the purpose of the building.
“College,” said the posted one.
Just then they passed a group of five or six
stalwart, well-grown students.
“Jim,” said the posted one, “I’m not a quar
relsome man at all. I dislike brawls and street
rows and all that sort of exercise. In fact I'd
rather fall down stairs with the kitchen stove
than have personal trouble with a man; but I
want to prove my courage just the same. I
think you doubt it. Now you see that bunch of
rough and lusty students? I’m going to give
them, metaphorically speaking, a lively toss,
and see if they dare resent it. ”
Thereupon, to the horror of his amazed com
panion, ne stopped and assailed tbe students
with a wealth of vituperation and a flow of op
probrious epithet which would have honored a
fish woman. He carried it off all right, how
ever, for beyond taking a consuming interest in
the oratory the students were only straugely
silent and did not resent it in anyway.
“How did you dare to do it?”' gasped the uu
Instructed one when they had gained a safe dis
tance from the outraged collegians. “I ex
pected we were to be torn limb from limb as a
result."
“I’ll let you into the secret,” said his daring
friend when he got through laughing. “But
don't tell it to others. Those fellows are deaf
and dumb. That is the Olathe Deaf and Dumb
Institute. ”
Just Engaged.
Earl Marble in Drake's Magazine,
"You are so late, dear soui, so late!’’
She murmured, nestling to his breast.
“So late, dear? No, 'tis scarcely eight;
So late, my darling? Why, you jest.”
“No. no, dear soul,” insisted she,
“It's very late indeed, for you."
“What! Eight o’clock is late for rae?
What gives your cheeks that scarlet hue?"
“Your wickedness, you monster- there:
You re late about an hour to-night."
“An hour, dear soul? Weil, I declare!
Would dinner then be over quite?”
“Indeed it would. At half-past six
We from the dinner table rise.
So, henceforth, darling, no more tricks.
Lest you would waken dreary sighs.”
“Why, certainly, dear soul; but why
Should lat seven come?” “Dear mel
You are so stupid. I shall cry.
It’s heaven when you come, you see. ”
‘‘And if it’s heaven, by my soul,
It’s seven by the clock as well."
“Ah! then, dear soul, at love’s fond goal.
At seven, love s murmurs I shall quell.”

Skirt dancing has spread into the girls’col
leges. These hitherto august institutions that
have permitted only the squarest of square
dances are now countenancing castanets,
breakdowns, and fandangoes. At the gala dav
at Wellsley, thi freshman class of girls, dressed
as sailor lads, boarded a fern trimmed craft and
danced to songs sung by classmates.
The lobster is greatly in dread of thunder,aDd
when tlie peals are very loud numbers of them
drop their claws and swim away for deeper
water. Any great fright may also induce them
to drop their claws. But new claws begin at
once to grow, and in a short time are as large
as the old ones, and covered with hard shells
The lobster often drops its shell, when it hides
until the new shell is hard enough to pro
tect it.
Harriet, the eldest sister of Miss Georgia
Kilbourne, the bride to be of Gen. Schofield,
also chose for a husband oue who had crossed
the hilltop of life. She married Hiram Barney
of New York, collector of customs under Lin
coln. She was 22, he 72. The couple live at
Kingsbridge and have several children There
is a third Miss Kilbourne. the handsomest and
most fascinating of the sisters, who never loses
an opportunity of expressing her preference for
“elderly'’ men over “younger” ones, which is
probably the strongest guarantee that she will
never marry one.
A young workingman in Dutuque, la.,
bought a colored shirt. In tearing off the tag
he discovered a note therein requesting the
purchaser to correspond with tho maker of the
snirt in a New Jersey manufacturing town.
She said she was working for starvation wages,
and hoped to find a home and a husband,
when she would be happy. He wrote to her,
was pleased with her replies, went to New Jer
sey and married her. Three weeks after they
■were united for life she received a letter from
England, the home of her anc*-stors, contain
ing a draft for £I,OOO, and a notification of the
fact that she was sole heiress to a fortune of
over £150,000.
A year and a half ago Clarence J. Hunt of
Worcester, Mass., a brakeman on tho Boston
and Providence road, rescue 1 a woman who had
fallen under a moving car and probably saved
her life. She thanked him profusely, and took
his name and address. The woman was Mrs.
Mack Hopkins Searle. Later Mr. Hunt met
Mr. Searle on the train on which he was brake
ing. Asa result Mr. Hunt has lately come
into possession of a grocery store in Mathueti,
a suburb of I.awrenoe, with horses, wagons,
and all the other things necessary, and a fur
nished house, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Searle.
Besides this Mr. Searle, who owns a great deal
of property in Methuen, has put Mr. Hunt in
charge of it,
Oliver Wendell Holmes has said that there
is nothing in the world tenderer than the pity
that a kind-hearted young girl has for a young
man who feels lonely. Perhaps this was the
sentiment that moved a certain young ladv of
Pittsburg to marry a certain baker, also of Pitts
burg, who had, a few days bet)ire. been coni**
polled to make au assignment. in fact, the
marriage notice appeared in the *arae paper
with tho notice of the failure. Of course her
pity must bare been of a substantial as well as
a sentimental nature. She, in his bankrupt
condition, doubtless paid for the license, the
wedding garments, the minister’s fee, and the
household goods, together with a flowery motto
on his ring, which might read this way: "Base
is the slave who pays." His creditors are
seeking for a moral to this tale.
The Belfast (Me.) Age has a story teller who
either coins or digs up a lot of curious yarns.
One of his latest has a Belfast stage driver for
its leading character. He had gone about five
miles from his starting point when he discovered
that one of the mail bags was missing, and
turned about to find it. After driving back a
mife or more he met a team driven by a young
lady who twd the mail bag, which she had
found and was carrying along for him. He of
course was profuse in his expressions of grati
tude and drove off. Several days later when
near the place where he lost the mail bag ho
discovered a small pig wandering about, evi
dently lost. He picked ihe little an:mal up and
placed it in his wagon, lie had gone aoout two
miles when he met again the lady of the mail
bag adventure driving toward him. She at keel
him if he had seen a pig which she hah lost, and
was much gratified at his producing it.
The “intelligent compositor’’ does not often
perpetrate a more beneficent blunder than was
committed in Brooklyn the other day, the out
come of which wus the reconciliation
of a husband and wife who had
become seriously estranged. After a
domestic quarrel of a strenuous nature
the man betook himself to a newspaper office,
where he wrote an advertisement stating that
he would not be responsible for his wife’s
debts Desiring two insertions of it, he wrote
over it: 'For two days. ” When the ”ad’’ap
peared, it announced that for two days ouly he
would not be responsible as aforesaid. The
wife saw it of course and was so greatly struck
by its comical aspeot that she forthwiih sought
her irate husband, and in a short time they
peacefully buried the hatchet All on uccoi.nt
of a printer’s stupid mistake. Truly he builded
better than he knew, and was instrumental in
oausing the wrath of man to eventuate in
domestic harmony.
William Linoow, one of the most prominent
farmers of Western Kansas, was arrested lately
at Van Buren, Ark., as a bigamist. Liugow
seems to have been leading a double life for
some years Nearly twenty years ago he mar
ried a girl named Mary Henry in Kansas City,
Mo., and now, after she has borne him eleven
children, comes the discovery that he had,when
he married her. and still has, another wife, with
whom he has been in the habit of spending part
of each year in Arkansas, where he was sup
posed to have gone for his health. The two
wives would probably have remained ignorant
of the situation had it not been for the curiosity
of the sheriff of Crowford county, Ark., from
whom the sheriff of this county received a let
ter to-day, asking about Lingow, and telling of
the existence of the wife whom he had deserted
twenty-five years ago, but with whom ho had
been spending a portion of each year for some
years past After a consultation with wife No.
i! it was decided to have Lingaw arrested, and
this has been done.
Mrs. Priscilla Randolph, who lives with her
family on the old Randolph homestead, near
Mount Horeb, N. J.,was the victim of a peculiar
accident last week that barely missed having
fatal results. She returned Sunday morning
from a visit to IV ashington, where she had been
on a railroad excursion. Asa gilt for her chil
dren she brought home a five-pound box of
candy which she bought on Pennsylvania ave
nue Every one in the family was sampling
the candy. Mrs. Randolph's teeth struck some
thing hard in the bon-bon she was eating and
instantly there was a loud explosion. Her front
teeth were blown out and her cheek was torn
open so that it hung by a shred A doctor
sewed up her torn and bleeding face and picked
from the wounds small particles of oopper,
From this it is supposed that in some way a
small cartridge had fallen into the candy when
it was in a plastic state and had been over
looked. The doctor said that the explosion
fortunately was toward the outside. Had it
gone toward her throat Mrs. Randolph would
have been killed instantly.
“Tee practice of chewing wooden toothpicks
is more dangerous than most chewers im
agine,” said a physician to a Louisville Com
mercial reporter. "Nearly everybody that uses
a wooden toothpick of the kind that the Ordi
nary restaurants supply keeps it in his mouth
after it has performed its only legitimate tunc
tion. One may see people on the streets every
day with toothpicks in their mouths an hour
after m-als have beer, eaten. When these
toothpicks have been chewed they split into
small, fine slivers, and, although the ehewer
may not be aware of the fact, be swallows a
greater or less number of these minute
needle-like particles. When they get into
the stomach they are very likely
to do mischief that will make no
sign perhaps for a long time, but the mischief
is real just the same, aud there are cases where
the organs of the stomach have been injured by
these little wooden barbs. The throat, too,
suffers more or less, and you’ll never find
singers and theatrical folk, or people who have
much use of a fine nature to make of their
throats, chewing wooden tnothpicks-fThe gums
in many instances are punctured by tne Riivers
and serious injury to the teeth and mouth often
follows. Some restaurants supply toothpicks
that are saturated in some way with pungent
material, like cinnamon, and the temptation to
chew the toothpick that has been doctored in
this way is very great. The quill is less danger
ous, but even this kind of toothpick is masti
cated to some extent. But the pat tides don't
separate so readily, and they are less likely to
be swallowed.”
