New York. June 15.- Although there
have been three race meetings in the
metropolitan district thus far this year,
the real thins does not come until to-mor
row. when the Coney Island race track
is opened, with the Suburban as the chief
event of the card.
Most of those on the card for the Subur
ban have been to the race® several times
this year, and are fit to run for their lives.
The list of entries, with the probable
jockies, as far as ascertained, is as fel
lows:
Etheibert, 130. Maher; Imp, lift, Tabor;
Jean Beraud, 128, Turner; John P>r ffht,
119. Sj>encer; Petrueio, 102, Rauseh; Kin
ley Mack, 125, McCue; Gulden, ltX>, Odom;
Prince MeClurg, 117, ; Survivor, ICO,
Henry.
This is a choice lot. and of diem at
least three are counted upon as having a
royal chance to win. At the top of the list
is Etheiltert, winner of the Metropolitan
handicap, and conqueror of Jan JVraud
in a match race at the distance. The
Jean Beraud. one of the beat of the three
year-olds of last season, a royally btel
animal and with a gieat turn of speo I,
and that grand old mare Imp, winner of
last year’s Suburban.
John Bright conus out of the West with
a big reputation, and is said to be very
swift; Kinley Mack, winner of the Brook
lyn Handicap this year, but In the mud;
Petrouoio, wlio wbn the Brooklyn Derby
yesterday in fast time, with five pounds
more thnn lie will have to carry to-mor
row, and Sarmation, ihe fast 3-year-old,
and others more or less speedy, are there.
Etheibert probably will be made the fav
orite, and there is also little doubt that
Jean Beraud and Imp will have a lot
of following, to say nothing of the men
who will pin their faith to John Bright
and the lightweights.
The track is now In good condition, and
will he fast as it ever was when the bugle
calls the horses to the post, if no more
rain falls.

Paris, June 15, 1:35 p. m.—At a cabinet
council to-day the Minister of Foreign. Af
fairs, M. Delcasse, announced that the
telegraph line to Pekin had again been
cut. The latest dispatch from the French
minister there, he added, was dated the
evening of June 12, and said the Chinese
government had informed him it would
not oppose the foreign detachments en
tering Pekin.
The French consul nt Tien Tsin, M.
Delcasse announce!, had telegraphed that
all was quiet within the French conces
sion there, which are guarded by French
and Russian troops.
Finally, M. Delcasse said, a swift, first
class cruiser had been ordered to proceed
to Taku to reinforce the French naval
divison at that place.

the Cme was devoted to the discussion of
the Chinese situation, which is regarded
as critical. %
The severance of communication with
Pekin, and the fn* ure to hear from Min

Although the plants that may cause
death when used as food or medicine are
numerous, the grt-atesi danger is from the
inedible mushroom. The questionA>f mush
rooms grew to be so important a one that
a couple of years ago the Department of
Agriculture issued an Illustrated pamphlet
treating on poisonous mushrooms. From
ihe dlrcular it is learned that at least
thirty species of edible mushrooms grow
in the District, and at least fotir species
that are known to be poisonous, and sev
eral others that are under suspicion. In
the pamphlet, which was prepared by
Botanist Frederick V. Covillt, the advice
is given to mushroom gatherers to learn
to know one or two of the most common
tqveJies of the edible fungi and to confine
themselves to these until they are sure of
their knowledge of others.
1 he Kentucky coffee tree, a plant* great
ly resembling the honey* locust, and often
mistaken for it, has been responsible for
a number of cases of poisoning. It has a
j pod that is hard to distinguish from the
locust, and as the pod of ihe locust is
sweet and much eaten by children, there
is always danger of a mistake b* ing made
with serious results. The poison of the
tree is not confined to the pods, however,
being found in the leaves and blossoms.
The plant has a yellowish flower and
blooms about the same time as the locust,
but lacks the perfume of the latter.
A\ titer Hemlock Fatal.
Among the other native plants that have
been eaten with fatal results is false hel
lebore, which grows in damp meadows
and along brooks, and is sometimes mis
taken for marsh marigold, having clusters
of yellowish green flowers and lcfrg-t stem
less leaves. Numerous deaths, especially
of cattle, with an occasional human vic
tim, are caused by eating the roots of the
water hemlock, which are mistaken for
horseradish, parsnips, artichokes, and oth
er edible roots. The plant grows in marsh
es or swampy places, attains a bight of
from three to *dgln fci, has finely dis
sected leaves and white flowers. The dan
ger of mistakes, however, lies in the
roots, which ought always to be safely
identified by an examination of the plant.
The ordinary hemlock, kno*wn sometimes
as "stinkweed,” is also poisonous. Its
seed is sometimes eaten for anise, its
leaves for parsley, and its roots for pars
nips. U van always be safely identified by
bruising the leaves, which then emit a
mouse-like odor.
< uses of poison have, also arisen from
Use Of the jimson weed for medicine. The
plant is well-known for its rank ill
smelling leaves, its bell-shaped flowers,
and its prickly four-valved seed pods. The
plant has useful medical properties, but
should only be used iby persons familiar
with its effects.
Poison Oak or Ivy.
The poison ivy, or poison oak. as it is
sometimes called, is probably the best
known of the plants that poison by con
tact. It is a climbing or trailing shrub,
with variable, three-foliated leaves, aerial
rootlets and greenish flowers appearing
in May and June. The smooth, waxy
fruii or berry, often remains on' the
Plant until late in the winter. The leaves
often resemble those of the box elder,
but their margin is sometimes almost
| entire . They differ from those of (he
Virginia creeper In having onlv three
leaflets, instead of five. Poison ivy K rotvs
i everywhere, in open brush, in ravines, on
Ihe borders of wools, and along ihe road
side and cultivated fields. The poison oak
proper differs from the iv\ mainly in its
leaflets, which are somewhat thicker and
smaller, more nearly elliptical, and less
sharply lobod.
Th. poison Rumae, which is nearly re
lated to ivy and oak, except that it is
a shrub instead of a vine, has long pin
nate leaves, cash with from seven to
thirteen entire leaflets. The wood has a
tine sulphurous odor, whMi, together with
the very prominent leaf seats, enables ii
to lx easily distinguished.
Cases of poisoning ay contact sometime*
arises from lady slipp. .s, a plant with
white flowers striped with purple and
growing In swamps. Such ease- however
are very rare. All kinds of laurel are
slightly poisonous to tin- touch, hut are
handled with impunity by most pir-ons.

Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow wi 1
eay:
A season of declining prices is never
wholly agreeable to business men whos
stocks on hand are losing part of Her
value. Yet there are times -when return
to the highest prosperity in business is not
possible, except through reidjustment of
prices. The highest prosperity the country
had ever reached, prior to the panic, was
in 1892, with price's averaging i.ot quite 76
per cent, of their average in After
j great depression for several years ihe
highest point reached with last year’s te
covery was 80 per cent., March 18. but
the gradual yielding has alieady returned
ihe general average of p ices to a shade
1 s than 75 per cent., practically, whe e
ii was with the highest prosperity in 1892.
The output of iron furnaces June 1 was
296,376 tons weekly, an increase of 2,526
tons, making the yield only 1,638 tons less
thnn at the highest point ever reached,
Feb. 1. But the increase of unsold stoc-k3
to 339,480 tons, about fM.OOO tons in May,
discloses a larger decline than was ex
pected in the new business, upon which
nearly all the works and furnaces have
now to rely, and reports <hat furnaces of
considerable capacity have been already
closed this month seem likely to he cor
rect. Within a week or two labor
organizations and the employers wi” be
discussing new demands for higher
wages and shorter hours, and the clos
ing oj. many works for lack of orde.-s will
have much influence about that time.
I’iices are gradually changing, antlira
ce No. 1 to S2O and Pittsburg grey forge

there at $1.50. After the closing of fur
naces and works has more nearly ad

iact that many large operations ar? hold

will have its influence.

Reconstruction moves slowly In cotton

and the halting of exports to China on ac

d’tlons help those who look for lower
prices In the goods market.
No further chong° appears this w’eek in

downward tendency. Silk and hemp also

WAS WITTY AS WELL AS WISE.
Good Stories Arc Told of nn Irtish
.1 udgo of High Repale.
From the London Telegraph.
Lord Morris, who has served his coun
try in a judicial capacity for the long
period of thirty-three years, is a repre
sentative of one of the old families known
as the “tribes of Galway.” Lord Morris
has never lost that mellifluous brogue
which distinguishes west of Ireland folk.
This characteristic- provides the ground
work for at least two stories told of him.
On one occasion the noble lord, twice an
occupant of the Irish l>ench, was present
at a wedding in company with Judge
Keogh. Morris was lamenting that he
had forgotten to throw an old shoe after
the bride and bridegroom, when Keogh
remarked: “Throw’ your brogue after
them; it will do just as well.” At an
other time I*/ord Morris was sitting at the
four courts as ford chief justice of Ire
land, when a young barrister from the
north rose nervously to make his first
motion. The judge had declared that no
one listening to himself would ever take
him for anything but an Irishman, which
was perfectly correct. But Galway could
not understand Antrim. The lord chief
justice leaned over the bench to ask the
associate where the barrister hailed from.
“County Antrim.” was the response.
Then asked his lordship of the official:
“Did ye iver come across sich a fright
ful accint in the course of yer loife?”
When I:\l Morris first went the Con
naught circuit, where he had practiced
before hie elevation to the bench at the
• nrlv age of 39. he gave many specimens
of h’s native wit. At one assize town
the Judges arrived late, and the grand
jury, after being sworn in. sent down a
true bill in a very simple ease, intended
to fill up the spare time of the court for
the “heel" of the evening. It was a ease
of the abduction of a small farmer’s
1 daughter bv a shopkeeper. who could not
urringe the matter of dowry to the satis
faction of his sweetheart’s relations. The
accused had met the maid near his shop
and had kept her, half-resisting, half
consenting on his premises in company
with an elderly female relative. The of
fense was, therefore, only of a technical
character. Charles O’Malley made a
wonderful speech for the prisoner, in the
course of which he told the frieze-coated
jurors that the\ were the most intelligent,
high-minded and naturally gifted men
he hod ever addressed. Justice Morris
whew the projver time came, said to the
jury: .“You have seen my friend Mr
O'Malley's amusing |w?rformance. Dis
mi-s it from your minds, and don't go
homo to your honest wives with peacock’s
feathers in your hats to proclaim the dis
i tine*ion he piles upon you. I am com-
I polled to direct you to find* a verdict of
guilty in this case, but you will easily
see that I think it is o trifling thing, which i
I I regard as quite unfit to occupy my time..
| It is more valuable than yours. At least. '
it ‘s much better paid for. Find, there- !
fore, the prisoner guilty of abduction, i
which rests, mind ye. on four points— the |
father was not averse, the mother was not f
I opposed, the girl was willing and the bov j
was convaynient After the verdict toe j
judge Hentenced the prisoner to r main
1 n the dock till the rising of the court, !
Then, turning to the sheriff, he said:
“Let's go.’’ Before the “boy” was clear j
of the do k the judge's head appeared i
again “Marry the girl at once,” h* said,
"and God bless you both.”
One day it fell to the lot of L#ord Mor- !
ris to hear u case nt Coleraine, in which
damages Were claimed from a veterinary I
surgeon for having poisoned a valuable !
horse. The ispue depended upon whether !
a certain number of grains of a partic
ular drug could be safely administered I
to the animal. A dispensary doctor j
proved flat he had often given eight
grains to a man. from which it was to lie !
inferred that twelve for a horse was not
excessive. 'Never mind yer eight grains,
docther. ' said the Judge. “We all know
that some poisons are cumulative in ef
fect. and ye may go to the edge of ruin
with impunity. Butted me this: The
tweive grains—wouldn’t they kill the divtl
himself if ho swallowed them?” The doc-

“I don’t know’, my lard; I never had him

the answer: “Ah! no, docther, ye nlver

These, of course, are stories of the earlv
days of a brilliant career, 4n which poli
tics at one time played a considerable
part. In later years Ird Morris has
always followed with keen concern the
fortunes of his country, and he Is credited
with sundry caustic observations concern
ing home rule. An ardent separatist once,
observed to him that, 4n his opinion, Mr.
Gladstone woe n heaven-born genius.
Then," said Lord Morris, “may it be a
long time before heaven Is again in an
interesting condition.” Some day, pos
sibly, the noble and learned lord may be
induced to write h4s reminiscences. They
should be rich in incident and from the
autobiographer’s standpoint would pos
sess the advantage of distinguishing the
actual from the apocryphal.
A Collection of \Vnll|apern.
From the Ix>ndon Pall Mall Gazette.
There D a vast deal more in wallpapers
t an ire ts the eye. They are a record
and comment of the various fashions In
and ccraMon that have succeeded each
other through the centuries. The diffi
culty is thit th*y are ro liable to de
siructicn that a complete collection is im
possible, There is a certain M. Collet
however, who has given all his leisure to
cj lecting wallpapers. With the utmost
pat o-.ce he has wandered down the cen
turies in sea ch of tld walls. And he has
g> back far as the beginning of the
i-ovi'nteenth century. Wallpapers were
h n print and or eng; aved by hand, and
w* re a luxury which could only be in
dulged in by the rich. Rut in the year of
the glorioi s ie,olu ion ore Jtan Papillon
invented a printing pre*s for the produc
tion of wallpapers which brought th*m
within the n-ach of limited incomes and
the sometimes hideous,sometimes beauti
ful passing whim of the moment.
—The “hexagonal phalanx” Is n new’
naval formation recently tried by a
French fleet in the Mediterranean. There
is one vessel at each angle of the hexa
gon and the Admiral’s ship occupies the
center. Their bows all point one way—that
in Which the squadron sails. The Ad
miral is equi-dittfant from all the rest,
and seen by all equally well. Every one
Is 460 yards from the next, but the space
can be reduced. In case of more vessels
under the command, the excess would
form a reserve, with torpedo boats added
to it. This new order of battle Is held to
require fewer signals than others.
