Knoxville, Term., Oct. 21. —A sen
sation of a peculiar and startling nature
is extant hero. It was occasioned by
the disclosure of a scheme some noto
rious colored woman had formed to poi
son all the Chinamen in this city.

drugs had b *en purchased and one dose
taken by Hop Wah, one of the intended
victims, but he has been saved by med
ical attention. /

HI EAT ANYTHING.
Enough T run it Wan in Hi* Stomach to
Stock a Junk Shop.
New York. Oct. 24.—-A post mortem
held on the body of John B. Woodley,
who died in the Flatbush asylum for
the insane, developed a curious state of
affairs. Woodley was a colored man 41
years old, who bad been an inmute of
the asylum for four years. When ho
was working about the grounds his
fellow workmen noticed that he was
continually picking up stones and toss
ing them in the air or putting them in
Ins mouth to chew on. It is said that
he could break an ordinary stone with
his teeth without apparent effort, and
he frequently told his associates that if
he was ever to get very hungry he could
eat coal and live.
About a year ago he had a tussle with
one of the nurses for the possession of a
silver watch rlmm, and becoming al
most frantic Woodley got possession of
the chain, a id. putting it in his mouth,
chewed it vigorously while he ran and
dodged the mtr.»e. That was the last
seen of the chain. It was on the re-
qu-kt of the nurse who thought that he
might regain nis chain that the post
mortem was held. Dr. Fleming, point
ing toward a glass jar standing oil the
mantelpiece, said : "We didn’t got any
jewelry out of him, but if you will look
in that jar you will notice that we got
enough tin, stone, coal and old nails
and otner trash out of his stomach to
stock a toy junk shop.*

We want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom Is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from tho start, After that a pecu
liar rough ootigh Is developed, which Is
followed by the croup. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse; a
few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will prevent the attack. Even after
a rough cough has appeared, the disease
maybe prevented by using this remedy
as directed. For sale by W. C. Russell.
