Influence of Ether.
Colonel Elliot fchecaid, editor of the
New York Mail and Express, died sud¬
denly Fiiday alternoou at his home at
No. 2 West Fifty-siond street, New
York city. His death followed the ad-
tniuislr tion of ether by Dr. Charles Mc-
Burney and the family physician, Dr. J.
W. McLean, who were about to make an
examioa’ion to ascertain whether the
colonel’s suspicion that he suffered Colo¬ from
stone in the bladder was correct.
nel but Sheppard month has been he in noticed good health,
nearly a ago symp¬
toms that led him to believe that he was
afflicted with stone in tbe bladder. His
doctor advised him to at least submit to
an examination and to undergo an oper¬
ation should it be deemed rucessarv.
Up to Friday morning his Colonel in tbe Shepard usual
bad attended to business

COLONEL SHEPARD’a DEATH.
About 1 o’clock Colonel Shepard said
he Was ready for the surgeons, and they,
with the nurses, began the work of put¬
ting him under the influence of ether.
He had inhaled the drug but two or
three times when the physicians detected
dangerous symptoms and stopped the in¬
halation. He sank that rapidly he could aud for be a

ministered. At the end of an hour’s
work with oxygen, ho was restored to
partial consciousness and be continued
apparently to rally until 4 o’clock, then
without warning and for no apparent
reason, he began rapidly to sink, lhe
oxygen treatment was resumed, but it
was of no avail. At 4:20 o’clock he
died. He was unconscious, and his
death was peaceful. The causa of the
death given by the physicians was oede¬

sketch of deceased.
Eliott Fitch Shepard was born in James¬
town, Chatauqua county,. N. Y., Uuiveisity July 25,
1823. He was educated at the
of the city of New York, admitted to the
bar in 1858, and for many years practiced he
in New Y’ork eity. In 18Q4 and 1862
nid^-de camportOhe staff of Governor
Edwin D. MorgaD,WH8 in command of the
depot of volunteers of Elmira, N. Y., and
aided in organizing, equipping and for¬
warding to the field nearly 50,000 troops. Fifty-
He was instrumental in raising tho
first New York regiment, which was
named for him the Shepard Rifles. He
was the founder of the New York state
bar association in 1876, which has formed
the model for the organization of similar
associations in other states. In March
1888 he purchased tbe New York Mail
and Express.
AN INQUEST ORDERED.
The c'Ttificate of Colonel Elliot F.
Sheppard’s death was sent to the health
board Saturday. The cause of the death
was given as “inhalation of ether.” Dr.
John T. Nagle, register, would not ac¬
cept the certificate so worded, and would
not grant a burial permit. He sent the
certificate to the coroner with orders that
he m ike an investigation.
INMAN’S BIG DEAL.
He Makes Another Heavy Purchase of
Tennessee Coal and Iron Stock.
A New York special says: In Wall
street the lightning never strikes twice
in the same place, but John H. Inman
does. About five years ago he made the
biggest deal in Tennessee Coal and Iron
company’s stock, which, up to that time,
had ever taken placo. On that occasion
he bought 11,000 shares from William
Duncan, of Nashville, und so soon as the
purchase became generally known, Ten¬
nessee coal boomed, enabling Mr. Inman
to realize over $100,000 profit on his
trade. Saturday~he discounted his deal
with Ms. Du can, buying for himself
and associates 22,506 shares of the same
stock from Colonel H. F. DeBardeleben.
For several months past ic has been
common talk in Wali street ihit Colonel
DeBardeleben owned over 60,000 shares
of Tennessee coal, and it was thought by
some that the recent heavy decline would
force him to dump bis bo'dings on him a
falling market, and thereby involve
in serious financial embarrassment, lhe
colonel has proven his ability to take
care of himself, even in Wall street. By
this deal with Mr. Inman he gets about
$600,000 in cash and still remains the
largest individual stockholder in the
TeDnesseo Coal and Don Company.

and the new officers of tbe various labor
organizations which ordered the injunction general

In an elaborate opinion, tbe court sets
aside every claim of the defendants and
declares that the acts of the Amalga¬ the

The “Changeable Rose” of Mongolia.
The Chinese, the Japanese and the
Siamese know a thing or two about
botany and floriculturo that would be of
much value to the German, English and
American botanists. A year or two ago
I told the readers of “Notes for the
Curious" why a bluo rose was au impos¬
sibility, but since then I have been
“reading up" on the botanical curiosi¬
ties that have been “bred" by the
almond-eyed Mongolians named above.
I have arrived at the conclusion that
probably a blue rose is possible alter all,
and that the Oriental botanical wizards
will evolve one sooner or later. One of
their achievements—the one on which
they prido themselves above all others,
unless it is the art of raising oaks in
thimbles—is the “changeable rose,” a
real rose in everything except that it is
white when in the shade and blood red
as soon as the sunlight strikes it. Tbo
words “as soon” in the last sentence
above do not literally mean instantane¬
ously, but one thing is sure, the trans¬
formation is rapid enough allowed for the wou-
dering eyes that are the rare
pleasure of beholding such a wonderful
sight. After night, or when in a dark
room, this curiosity of the rose family is
a pure, waxy white blossom, the thick,
succulent petals much reminding one ot
gigantic mandrake (lowers, with the ex¬
ceptions that even the stamens and pis¬
tils are of tho same immaculate color.
When transferred to epen air tho trans¬
formation immediately sets in, tho time
of the entire change of tho flower from
a livid whiteness to the most sanguine cf
all sanguine hues depending on tho de¬
gree of sunlight and warmth. First tbe
petals take on a kind of washed or faded
blue color which rapidly changes to a
very faint blush ot pink. The pink
gradually deepens in hue until you find
that your lily-white rose of an hour be¬
fore is as red as the reddest peony that
ever bloomod.
I have searched botanies by the dozen
and read dozens of articles on “history
and description jof tho rose family,” but
not a single one mentions the “Change¬
able Hose of Mongolia," which must bo
well known to all Oriental travelers.—

Testing Pure Water.
It is one of the easiest things in the
world to tell pure water from tbe im¬
pure. If you want to test the calor of
the water just fill a colorless glass bottle
with water and look through it at some
black object, and the distinctiveness
with which you can see the object will
give you an idea as to the amount of
clay or aaud there is in the water. Then
