Ga., Aug. s.—Report of a pecu liarly terrible tragedy comes from near Irwinville, In Irwin county, in which four innocent victims suffer from accidental poisoning, two of whom are already dead, and two more have been at death's door. It eems that Mr. Lewis Conner, a far mer living near Irwinville, had been in feeble health for some time, and his at tending physician would only allow him to eat a very light diet. Yesterday he had hi? wife to cook some pea soup for him, and the soup was boiled in a new' tin pail. >lr. Conner tried to eat some of it, but did not like its taste, and set the vessel to one side. A few minutes later a neighbor came after Mr. Conner, to carry nim to his home for the night, thinking a change might do the sick man good. Mr. Conner went off with him, and the |.ea soup was forgotten until supper time, When Mrs. Conner and the children ato it. but not heartily, as there was only a small quantity. An hour or so later, the oldest child, a little boy, was taken violently 111, and a physician was sent for, but although he lived only a mile distant, the boy died before Dr. Julian could arrive. Seeing the patient was dead, the doctor returned home, but before he had unhitched his horse, a messenger arrived, post haste, saying another of the children was very ill. He arrived before the little sufferer, another boy. died, but was too late to ren der any assistance. While he was there, Mrs. Conner and another child were taken violently ill, but by hard work their lives were saved, although at one time it look ed as if the poison would claim four vic tims. There is little doubt that the tragedy was taused from poison in the tin vessel, in ■which the peas were cooked, and allowed to cool. The affair causes universal re gret in the entire community, in which the family were highly esteemed. QCEE\ MAROHR RITA'S PR AYER. Monta Cede* Plot Wharr King Was Killed, to Royal Family.

The following preamble was adopted: "We believe the time opportune when the textile operatives of the United States should become thoroughly organized in a grand organization and become banded to gether for mutual protection against the grasping combination of capital. Past ex perience has taught us that a lack of in terest by' the various unions in standing aloof one from another has been detri mental to our interest as wage earners. The alarming developments and aggress iveness of capital and its efforts to crush the laborer into subjection leads us to the necessity of becoming more firmly united that we may receive a fair re muneration for our labor.” STARS MAY CAUSE HIS DEATH.

Teller expressed the belief that the "situation In China demands the immediate assembling of Congress." "The President,” Senator Teller added, "is not justified in going further to pro tect our official representatives in that country. When that is done, our army mus* be withdrawn unless Congress shall order otherwise. The President cannot declare war; that can only be done by an act of Congress, and the President cannot legally carry it on in China with out such declaration.” Regarding the Philippines, the Senator said: "The war will cease in those islands when we satisfy the people there that we intend to concede them self-government. They are anxious for an opportunity to prove their fitness to maintain a govern ment of their own, and no one who is familiar with their character and ac quirements can doubt their capacity in that respect. I have urged ever since the war began that w r e take steps to convince the Filipinos that we are not going to deny them participation in their govern ment.” IN HONOR OF KING HUMBERT.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1000. GOOD WORK OF BISHOP GRAY. He la Arranging to Found a School for Yountr Ladies. Orlando, Fla., Aug. s.—Among other plans in connection with his work here, Rt. Rev. William Crane Gray, Bishop of the diocese of South Florida (Episcopal), has long entertained one for the found ing of a high-grade school for young la dies. Bishop Gray Is a tireless worker. He forms his plans with deliberation and then works for their accomplishment with a seal which falters at no obstacles. Since he came here ho has taken upon himself n missionary work in connection with the Seminole Indians. In the face of a preju cMce on the part of these people, against the ways, the customs and the religion of the white man, he has entered their territory and has so far won their confi dence that he has been able to establish missions among them, and he makes reg ular trips to and through their country, preaching and teaching. More than that, the Indians have become interested, and they come out to the mission services and accept the instruction imparted to them. This is the sort of man which con ceived the idea of the girls* school In Orlando, and who at last sees the way clear to the accomplishment of this pur |)Ose. Pcll-tflarke Hall will open Its first term about the first of October. A suffi cient number of pupils have al ready been secured to make success certain from the start. Two accomplished and experienced ladies have been engage*! as teachers. Through the generosity of Mr. Leslie Pell-Clarke a most desirable building for the purpose Is made availa ble. It is a handsome structure, built a few years ago as a private residence by Judge Copeland, now deceased. It stands upon the bank of Lake Eola, one of the pretty little lakes which add a charm to Orlando’s attractions. Encircling the lake is a well-constructed driveway and bicycle path, while upon its bank near the hall are splendid live oak trees, offer ing an evergreen shade. There are ample and nicely laid out grounds about the building. It is an ideal spot. Bishop Gray speaks most hopefully of the pros pect of the school, and feels assured of a large attendance from all parts of Flor ida and from the states lying farther north. This project accomplished, he hopes within a short time to be nb’e to found a similar tichool for boys, either here or fit some nearby point, which shall possess the advantages and attractions to insure success. This i® in the future. But It is hoped that it Is not distant. Bishop Gray is no ornamental figure head. He is a worker, with practical ideas, and a zeal that stops at nothing short of accomplishment. BETTER BUSINESS IN IRON. Two Alabama Mills Will Be Started I’p Tills Week. Birmingham, Ala . Aug. s.—The steel mill of the Tennessee Coat and Iron Railroad Company at Ensley will be started np this week. The Blooming mill will start up Wednesday. The capacity of the steel mill is 1.000 tons a day. The mill was closed down the early part of July for repairs, and the condition of the iron and steel market is also supposed to have had something to do with it. The local iron market continues very quiet, with few’ offers. There is some demand for export iron and more sales are being made than for several months past. More ship room is available and this makes the placing of larger quantities in Europe pos sible. The local iron manufactures have asked railroads for a reduction of 50 cents in freight rates on iron shipments to Atlan tic ports and claim that if such reduction is granted they will be able to do a big ger export business.

The carabao is a noble animal of about four hundred tons displacement, and occu pies twelve-thirteenths of the available breathing space of the Island of Luzon. He Is neat, but not gaudy, and In Ms general appearance somewhat resembles that delightful creature, the Prum, so called because it is not a fish. He con sits principally of a pair of horns and a martyrized expression of countenance, and is considered Iry sclemlels to be a cross be tween the millennium arid full army ra tions. He lieves a simple and frugal life, and spend* all of it in making up his mind to execute a sudden move. Then he dies. At this sudden Interruption of hi* projects he Is generally about 83 years of age. When not In use a* a means of further ing the interests of interurban transporta tion the carabao is kept submerged in wa ter. This Is done in order to preserve his unruffled temper, and also to furnish a novel sport, unheard of in other parts of the globe. Carabao fishing is a pleasant recrecatlon for the natives In the Hinall hours of the morning. As above Intimated, the carabao of the Philippine* ts principally used as a dray horse, and In this capacity presents many advantage* over hi* equine cousin. He does not shy at cable cars, does not inter fere, and never In the history of Ihe inl ands has he been known to run away. He Is gentle and kind in all harness, and can b? handled with equal success by children O" adults; he heed* neither. There Is a prescribed and unvarying method to be followed In driving a cara bao. After having been hitched to a cart with due ceremony the carabao will im mediately lie down in the street, more to enable you to perfect yourself In the pronunciation of the many eplthei* In the Slnlh vocabulary than out of any sp.ru of meanness. Aa soon as you have sufficiency Irtd your profanity, kick him twice on the left side, and with a club of any other avail able mean* of persuasion plant u pow’ifu! blow on hi* head. He will then get up. unless you have fraetured his skull, In which case it will be necessary for you to obtain another carabao and begin all over again. As soon as he Is on his feet you must place your longue firmly against the roof of the mouth, ztlffen the muscles of the throat, and give vent to a series of sounds such as usually accompany the payment of a tribute* to Ntgfiune when about twen ty-four hours out of port. As he hears these the carabao will move alowly for ward. Now prod him Incessantly with your club, and keep on uttering the above-de scribed exhortation, and tha chances are that he will move ahead at least five yards before stopping again. Repeat the name operations aa before, and by dint of patience and perseverance wou will arrive at your destination. O. H. Fernback. AERIAL NAVIGATION. AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL COL LECT ION IN P %IIIS. Same Strait*** Mounters—Le Volta. Rare Prflntn nnd Platen Mile. Klnmpk'i Experience. Paris Letter in New York Post. In the huge U-shaped building where mOf*t of the articles made In this world can be seen—from mighty machines of shirring steel and brass to the moat deli cate fabrics fashioned by their a.most human intelligence —one occasionally cornea upon surprising oases, suggestive collections which open unexpected ave nue® of thought rather alien to the super ly material forcefu'.ness of surrounding exhibits. Such are the remarkable cases of old keys, ancient locks, and ornamental Iron work with which several happy hours unconsciously slipped away. One could scarcely imagine that so many beautiful forms of historic keys could exist, until these noteworthy collections of M. le Secq des Hournelles had been studied. An other ia a fuacinating room full of antique clocks and watches, hourglasses and clep sydras—the history of time, as it were, and still serviceable in annihilating our common father, though perhaps in a dif ferent wav from that which their long \anlshed makers Intended. Of scarcely lea? interest is the corner in which arc brought together all ancient device® in connection with artificial light—candle sticks of exquiwite o*id shapes and many material?, snuff era and trays, numberless shelves of extinguishers, Roman lamp's and candelabra, an epitome of historic illumination. But I discovered to-dny a veritable woll- S|M*lng of pleasantness, after a somewhat arid scroll past wheels and leather, car riages nnd carpet*. My attention was at tracted by large, bat-like object sus pended overhead, showing a multiplicity cf mysterious and rather chaotic wings; a bird, a butterfly, an August cicala, a hat, and a whirling maple seed combin ed, might perhaps describe the Ader type of fl.vlng machine "eclairour et eorpil leur." It seemed to suggest the objects below. Captive balloons of many mod els. with various kinds of cars and bas kets, opportunities for choice In ropes and pulleys, and even the pongee silks mad*' in China and Japan for gaseous Inflation, attracted few gazers; but the case con raining a picture of Andree and his as sociates. Fraenkel and Strindberg, was constantly surrounded, as the one farther on, representing the frozen fjord and glis tening mountains above which their bal loon was poised on July 11, 1897. Aeronau tical Instruments for meteorologle obser vaiion are grouped together, and a neigh boring map shows the tracks of various high-air voyages from Paris to a distance of I,loft kilometers. All these, with fly ing machines of different principles and epochs, "grapplers" and anchors for land ing (unexpectedly or otherwise) upon earth and sea. make a very modern sec lion, of which the interest Is not diminish ed by a glance at the fine photographs taken from different altitudes. These op pear to be a series of particularly good enlargements St.-Genls-Laval (Rhone) fro-m a higbt of 650 meters is clear and iierfect, while a charming picture of cu mulus cloud in process of formation, al lowing between Its masses distant but distinct glimpse* of fields and ivoods, was taken from a bight ot 1,350 meters. The Ppnt-des-Vaux (Ain) from 1,300 meters is small yet still clearly defined, and love ly cloud photographs are shown, made at 2.050 meters altitude. It will be remembered that scientific as cents for the purpose of getting above the accidents of meieoroiogical circumstance have not been unknown; and here may he seen the actual substances of lx* Volta, in which the famous astronomer Janssen made his upper-air pilgrimage on Dev. 2, 1870. This devoted observer, thus leaving besieged Parts in ample time for the sun's eclipse of the 22d. was not rewarded for Ms energetic falthfulnes; an overcast sky being his portion upon the important day. The siege of Paris. Indeed, is con stancy m-morilalized in these aerial cases, in ways olher than scientific. One of them contains a fragment of ihe material used bv Eugene Godard, in constructing Le Washington for use during that memora ble winter; some of the dispatches thus sent overhead; and pictures of the balloon high above the city, casting its shadow upon surrounding clouds. Here, too, one see* the carefully stuffed body of the car rier-pigeon celebrated at that troublous time—another sortof aerial communication, to be sure, but perhaps appropriately com memorated here. The tragic death in the sea of Prince on Nov. 30, 1870, and of Lu raze. who ascended In the Richard Wal lace on Jan. 27, 1871, and also perished In the ocean, are represented several times In harrowing pictures. Other cases contain volumes upon hlgh-air navigation, vol umes of L'Aeronaute. and numbers of the Journal des Voyage*. Illustrating this phase of human endeavor. Also exhibited are the kite explorations of upper nlr brought to such successful Issue by Mr. A. Lawrence Rotch of Blue Hill. The familiar face of Dr. Abel Hureau de Vll leneuve and those of MM. Henry Gifford and Maurice Mallet look from one frame, beside many old engravings of ascension, successful descents, and fatal endings. But historical collections of balloon mem brabilia may be both poetic and aesthetic. This is proved by the quaint nnd beauti ful article* owned by M. iaiuls Bereafl anti M. Albert Tlssandler shown near by’. Curious old prints published more than a hundred years ago, some of them color ed, represent every sort of attempt at aerial navigation, sometimes seriously, often In amusing caricature, will) catas trophes, both humorous and ghastly, which would appear to have been par ticularly dear to the hearts of artists and engravers in 1783 and thereabouts. Stone and marble tablets, one of that year In memory of De Rosier, cxldly decorated medals In sliver and bronze, an ancient oil painting of a captive balloon reluctant ly restrained by rofies held in the fugging hands of a dozen blue-coo ted gentlemen of a past century, fill the first case, will) a *u[>erb lot of old book*. Among them Is ‘Essal sur la Nautlque Aerlenne,' pub lished by Eugene Onfroy In 1784, and a fin* old volume Issued In Brescia in 1670, dedicated "Alla sacra Maesta Oessrea del Im|ieratore lieopoldo I.” and volume 111. of 'La Decouverte Auetra'.e, j>ar un Homme-Volant; ou Le I)dale Francais; Nouvelle tree-phllosophlque,’ of rvhlch the first volume Is In another collection farther on.

Klumpke has read a. brilliant paper this week, at the Interna tional Congress of Women, upon feminine achievement In astronomy—a subject upon which she is undoubted authority. Of course there is a captive balloon In the exposition grounds, for the amuse ment of the laymen; but of far greater interest is the exhibition of free balloons at Vincennes. The other day eight fully Inflated air-voyagers of forty or fifty feet In diameter were simultaneously shown. Four ascended In twenty minutes, with their aeronauts. In one, a lady started on the unknown voyage with two aero nauts; in another, the captain of the celes tial craft started alone. The lower !r was perfectly quiet when the Imlloons were freed, and all took different direc tions, according to the speed of th< ir vertical ascent and the corresponding air currents which they struck Inter. They set forth at 4 o’clock, but at sundown only one had entirely disappeared from the gaze of the vast throng* watching at Vincennes. The experiments are con ducted under the auspices of the Commit tee on Aerostation, of which the veteran expert De Fonvielle Is secretary. The subject of human transportation through space will always be of profound interest until it is a practically and com fortably established fact of every-duy occurrence.

RECOLLECTIONS OF KING HUMBERT Anecdote* Recounted In WaKhlnjc t on—III * Idea of What n King Should Be-The New Ruler ui n Hoy. From the New York Post. Washington, July 31.—Recollections of King Humbert, who appears to have been personally known to many |>eople in this city, are heard on all aides. He was a good deal of a huntsman, like hls father, and one of his ungratitled life ambitions was to come to the United Beaten and stalk Rocky Mountain sheep. There were other reasons also forohlsabel ng interested In America. In a conversation with a group of diplomatists several years ago, he touched upon the forms of government In different pans of the world, and. in re sponse to a suggestion that he had suc ceeded remarkably In preserving the pop ularity of his own dynasty, said: 4 The best of all monarchies la that in which the King Is felt everywhere, without being ob served.” "And how about republics?” Inquired one of the party. "The best republic,” he answered, "Is that in which, as In the United Btates. the genlua of the people has so penetrated every fibre of the social fabric that no place remains for a king." Victor Emmanuel the new sovereign, has the np station of b-ing s rnewhat wild but this a not an uncotnm n complaint in the cam- of Princes who aft rwarda develop very well under the sense of r - sro slbilliy. Asa child, he mop ar s to have been known to the people of Italy rather pleasantly. He was with his fa ther on a visit to Naples In November, IfeTß. when Passinante made the first at tempt a ? the a**a*? n 'l< n of Humbert and showed a good deal of courage under the exciting conol Ins. It was tls te-ti rnory which ixttled the disputed Identity of the daxg-r with which Paaaanante • ruck at the Ki g bltle Victor—little In a double sense ." for h ha* a.ways been undersized—was i noted for his affectionate disposition. H® w s particularly fend of his fit her and mother, nnd had a way of saving his pock et-money to buy little trinkets for the Queen. He was also vrv de ply a'taohed to an Fgnlish nurse, who had charge of him until he was a well-grown boy. and mnur eri her death as if had been a member of his own family. He appoint to hive teen tqia'ly fond of Col. Os o. who was h s military preceptor in youth, and who wa? conscientious to the extent r.f considerable severity now ami then; in h ite of ihls, VI t r w n and sometimes say, after a par lcularly successful les ■ot: "Color.el kiss y ur little Prime If y* u are (ailed with Mm.” The boy uses! to amuse the people about, him with his frank way of describing tha domestic life of his parents. Humbert, unlike his Queen, had few artistic taste®, and a particularly dull ear for music. H® hated to realize thnt the Queen, whoe beauty he greatly admired, was getting on In years, nnd when It became neces sary for her to use eyeglnase® In reading he uttered repented protests. One of these scenes Victor described thus: ‘'When papa saw the glasses going up to mam ma's eyes, he cried, Margherita, put down these glasses!’ Mamma did not obey. Then papa exclaimed, ‘Margherita. If you don’t take off those glasses, I shall sing.’ And mamma had such n dread of papa’s false notes that she obeyed at once to save herself from torment.” Assistant Secretary Taylor of the Treas ury recalls the late King Humbert very |dfaonntly, having had the unusual expe rience of a chat with him, devoid of all formality, In 1878. Mr. Taylor and his wife were visiting Borne, nnd drove out one evening to Join the regular proces sion on the Corso. A blockade of some sort occurred, and the crowd of sight seers became so flense that the line® of carriages moving in opposite directions were force<l together, almost locking wheels. The blockade caused a general stop, nnd Mr. and Mrs. Taylor found themselves tete-a-tete with a lady and gentleman In very unpretentious equip age. For sociability's sake, while watt ing. Mr. Taylor addressed the oc cupants of the other carriage, and met with a very prompt and frank response. The strange gentle man spoke fluent English, although distinctly a foreigner In appearance. The lady, who took less part In the interview, la remembered ns a very handsome bru nette. The gentleman showed himself familiar with the American appearance and traits, recognizing the nationality of Mr. Taylor, and expressed his gratifica tion that so mafiy Americans were visit ing Italy every year, and his hope that the hospitality they received would In duce them to continue coming In always greater numbers. He showed much in terest also In the prospects of the Ital ian emigrants, so many of whom were going to the United States Just then. The conversation hud not lasted long befor® the demonstrations of the crowd in the neighborhood disclosed the fact that t.he foreign gentleman was King Humbert, and the lady accompanying him Queen Margherita. Mr. Taylor saw them sev eral times afterword, and ha a very distinct recollection of the King’s agree able and democratic manner. One effect of the assassination of King Humbert which is observable In Wash ington is the increased vigilance of the po lice fn looking out for cranks. The news of such an event usually draws number of perrons ot unsettled reason to Wash ington, not always with a distinctly vio lent intent, but with a stimulated thirst for the eatisfactlon of some fanciful claim or the repair of some supposed grievance. There seems to lurk within their minds a notion that the murderous stroke has ushered In an era of general liquidation. An ex-sol dier turned up here two days ago, and was allowed to go hls way on the theory that he was only harmlessly demented; It la now regretted that the police lost sight of him. He visited the White House first, saying that there wan $50,000 of back pay to his credit, and he wished to collect It from the President. He was Informed th.it the President* was In Ohio, and that. In any event all government money was paid out through the treasury. He accordingly trudged over to the treasury and began lo seek for Secretary Gage. As soon a® hls menial condition was made evident one of the secretary’s staff saw him. heard hls story, and explained, with much particu larity. why the treasury could do nothing for hlo without the sanction of Congress, which v culd have to pass a special act ot appropriation to get hls money out of the vaults. He showed some annoyance at this* being pushed about from pillar to post, and went away apparently not yet satisfied that he had been treated In en tire good faith This Ik only one speci men of the crank with the money claim. There are- rmny others of hls sort, and a good many other sorts, beside® hls. —W. B.
