An older son's mind was affected by the remark to the extent that he dd not appease his appetite. A daughter, younger than the son, after drinking a half cup of coffee, became sick and vomited. V , The rest of the family continued the morning meal, although the children made very wry faces and said the cof fee did hot taste good. Strychnine had been put into the coffee. j t j. . JAPAN'S EMEIIPKISE. Money Appropriated to Teach Americans ;- How to Make Tea. - I Several . months ago the Japanese Tea Guild sent to this country a spe cial commission to investigate the con dition of the J apanese tea trade in the United States snd Canada, and to co operate with its American representa tives in giving publicity to the merits of Japanese teas and the best methods of preparing them. Tea bazaars are 'to be opened in many of the principal cities in the 'United States and Canada, where la dies can enjoy a cup of fine Japanese tea made by' experts, and at the same time receive instructions which will ienable them to make it equally well at home. More than half the tea con sumed in the United -States and Can ada is of Japanese growth, yet most Americans apparently do not under stand how to prepare it so as to devel op its delicious qualities. ' The Japan ese government has appropriated a large fund to aid in prosecuting this educational work. The Japanese Tea Guild has issued this official reeipe for making Japanese tea; First Use a small, dry and thor oughly clean porcelain teapot. Second Put in one teaspoonful o. tea leaves for each cup of tea desired. I'hird When using J apanese teas pour on the required quantity of fresh ooxieu .water, ana let stand witnciosea lid from two to three minutes. Never boil the leaves. In order to retain the natural flavor Japanese tea leaves should be kept in tight can or jar, free from moisture. - ! Note. To thoroughly enjoy the .natural, delicate and sweet flavor, J neither sugar nor cream should be used. ' ' ' EAL DOW PASSES AWAY. Tho Great Prohibition Leader Dies At i His 'Home. !

The Phoenix Brewing , Company, one of the oldest brewing associations in St. Louis, made an assignment Monday, with' liabilities of $250,000 and assets slightly in excess of the the sum.

' FEYEB SUIOUBY, Saturday: and Sunday Record of Wew Cases and Fatalities. Numerous cases of fever appeared at New Orleans Saturday, as was expect ed, j The weather was warm and the foci of infection had . increased The malignity of the disease, however, was not emphasized. There were four deaths, but the majority of cases are of the innocuous type and there were many discharges of patients who have for some days been under the care of the doctors. ' . Thirty-one new cases and two deaths were reported Sunday. Of these cases eleven are in. houses where fever has heretofore been reported. The other cases are pretty well scattered and none were reported at the detention camp, in any of the hospitals or in the asylums. Dr. Dunn, of the state board of health, Saturday night reported nine teen new cases at Edwards and one death. Sunday's record was fourteen new cases and two deaths. The fovorable record was maintained at Mobile, Ala., by a report of but four hew cases and no deaths. An appeal will be addressed to the homefolks and people abroad, the re sulting money to be distributed by the Can't-Get-Away Club for the assist ance of the needy. ' Camp Detention, at Mount Vernon, is ready for those who , wish to spend ten days there- and receive from the hospital surgeons in charge a clean bill of health that will be recognized by state quarantine officers. TO DISINFECT THE MAILS. The President and Postmaster General Discuss the Matter. A Washington dispatch says: Satur day afternoon just after the cabinet session, Postmaster General Gary and Assistant Postmaster General Shallen berger had a long conference with the president concerning mails of the in- lectea districts. . The president is taking a keen in terest in the developments in the in fected districts and inquired carefully about the plans already in operation and means for relieving the distiess in the commercial circles compatible with public safety. f General Superintendent White, of the railway mail service, had a confer ence with Surgeon General Wyman, of the mavine hospital service, during the day. Dr. Wyman, decided that if nec-: e sary he would establish camps on the borders of the state of Louisiana so that not only the mails from New Orleans, but also all mails from the state going into Texas, will be proper ly disinfected. This will give Texas a quarantine against the whole state and so far as New Orleans mail's are concerned give them a double disinfectingjprocess. Advices indicate that the situation in Texas is greatly relieved through prompt and efficient disinfecting serv ice. Postal authorities believe that no further apprehension should be1 felt as to disease germs finding their way out of Louisiana through the mails. LUETGEBT TRIAL DRAGS. Six Weeks Consumed and the End Not Yet in Sight. A Chicago special says: The close of the sixth week of the celebrated trial of Adolph Luetgert for the al leged murder of his wife showed the case far from completed. . -, Luetgert's story has not yet been heard. The big saucagemaker may be on the stand a week. It is predicted that the anxiety of the accused man to talk will be fully satisfied before his cross-examination is closed if he goes' on the witness stand, and ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel for the defense, has promised that Luetgert will be heard. The concensus of opinion at the close of the week, Saturday afternoon, by close observers of the trial since the opinion was that the prosecution had the better of the argument. Experts of the defense have contradicted each other on cross-examination. They have also made blunders in the identi fication of bones, which amused the jurors and apparently weakened their testimony. MORE WAGES DEMANDED. Miners In Foreign Land Have Troubles of Their Own. The national congress of miners, which has been in session at Liege, Belgium, decided to make a demand for an advance of 16 per cent in wages. If this demand is not granteefby the middle of November the executive com mittee will probably call a strike. MILES HOMEWARD BOUND. Uncle Sam's Army Commander Finishes Tour of Europe. General Nelson A. Miles, with Mrs. Miles and - Major Camp, Captain Maus, sailed from London Saturday for the United States on the American liner St. Louis. . V The commander 6f the army has been in Europe since May on his tour cf military observation and has in spected everything of military inter est in the armies of 'the great powers in the field of action. ' He has been looking over fortifica tions, barracks, camps, ordnance works of all classes and in the intervals of this work has written three reports. M'KINLET IN WASHINGTON. President and Secretary of State Sherman Hold a Conference. President HcKinley and party ar rived in Washington at 10 o'clock Thursday morning over the Pennsyl vania road. v Mr. McKinley had hardly reached the white house before Secretary of State Sherman appeared and held a brief consultation wiAh him, presum ably in reference to the fall of the Spanish cabinet. nsisiiiiiiDiu STRONG AND BITTER FIGHT BEING MADE 05 HEALTH BOARD. FEVER RECORDS BEING BROKEN. Doctors Are Ixrth to Keport Cases, GlTlnf ' a a Eeason That It Curtails V Their Practice. j Friday was again something of a re cord breaker in New Orleans in the matter of new cases, there being thirty reported. They cropped up in all directions, but the death record was only three for the day. The fever is rapidly spreading in many directions, but the largest major ity of cases are proving to be of a harmless type. . y The infectious character of the fever is, however, iiihown in the fact that there were again numerous instances of new cases in houses 'where sickness has already existed. The weather is warm and the conditions excellent for new cases. But the death - percentage has fallen considerably below the re cord of 1878. :. . The usual care is not now being taken in -diagnosing cases; and it is quite probable that many of the cases that are reported as yellow fever are the result of hurried examinations by physicians. r More cases were reported before 9 o'clock Friday than at any time since the fever has invaded the city. There were fifteen at that hour. The new cases were reported from all sections of the city. Doctors Having Trouble A bitter fight is being made on the ; board of health because it is insisting in quarantining inmates of houses in which yellow fever exists and those houses which immediately adjoin. ' Dr. Guiteras expressed the opinion that it is possible to confine the in fection within the room where the pa tient may be lying so this has strength ened the fight of the public against these quarantine measures. In spite -of the storm of protests, however, many eminent physicians, and profes-; sional men are urging the board to continue its present course in quaran tining houses. - . , - The crisis is either presentnow or close at hand, and it is not considered wise to jeopardize the health of the whole community by allowing "-people in infected houses or living next door to them to go among the members of the community at random. , The fever has, of course, not been declared epidemic and for that reason physicians are disinclined to report yellow fever. A number of doctors state, in a for mal protest, that if their names are re ported in connection with yellow fever cases their practice will be ruined. Nobody would send for them if they nave had anything to do with yellow fever cases. , Crisis Approaching In Mobile, Newspaper correspondents at Mobile, Ala., . are in a quandary. If they tell the truth they are condemned locally as writing against the interests of the city. If they draw it mild outside communities declare they -are lying. An attempt has already been made to throttle the press by the prosecution of a local city editor, but it failed,' and the; case was withdrawn as an ignomi nious and unpopular move. . , ; The truth of the matter is that a crisis .is approaching in Mobile. The fever has made unexpected leaps and within two days has bioken out in two totally unexpected quarters. STRIKE THREATENED IN CHICAGO. Probable Tie-TJpff the City's Street Rail ways. The danger of a tie-up of the lines of the Chicago City Railway Company is not oer yet. A mass meeting of street car employes was held Friday and res Mutions were unanimously adopted indorsing the! organization of a local branch of the Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes of America. The most important action taken, however, was the giving by secret ballot the power to the executive com mittee of the organization to order a strike without notice to the company. The plan of the executive committee to resent any further dismissal of em ployes was thus ratified, and 'future action was referred to that committee, GEORGIA FOOTBALLISTS. State University Team Arranges Schedule or Uames lor the Season. A schedule of football games for the University of Georgia was arranged at a meeting oi tne Athletic association at Athens Thursday.

Price $85,000., - The proposition of the Georgia Mining, - Manufacturing and Invest ment Company to sell to the state their coal and iron mines in Dade county changed the entire convict situation over night, and threw a new element into the discussion. The proposition has become an unexpected factor in the settlement of the vexed question which the committee has to handle. - Captain Anderson, who is chairman of the" committee of creditors of the Georgia Mining Manufacturing and Investment Company, made the offer, agreeing to sell the 29,000 acres of land controlled by the creditors at the government rate of $20 per acre,' and to throw in all improvements which had been built thereon. ? He urged his plan not only because he felt that it would result in a profit able enterprise for the state, but be cause it would give to the state prop erty on which the convicts could im mediately be placed without waiting for the purchase of "other property, the employmept of architects, or the erection of buildings. In reply to questions from members of the committee, Captain Anderson said that the machinery and equipment on the property were in good repair, but that to put the place in perfect condition for the housing and mam tena"nce of 2,000 or more convicts an expenditure of $25,000 would be nec essary in the Dade and Castle Bock mines, and of $75,000 on the lands of the "Walker company, FEVER SUMMARY.

GREEK CABINET RESIGNS. K. Ralll Denounces Germany For Work ing Against Greece. Advices from Athens state that the Greek cabinet has resigned. The Athens correspondent of the London Times says: "M. Balli, when presenting the chamber the preliminary treaty " o peace, took strong exception to its terms, attributing to Germany all that had been done against Greece. "He declared that he would not sub mit a resolution approving the treaty, because it was executory and there fore did not require approval; and also because such a slep would be coh trary to the sovereign rights of tr e state and the crown. MINERS QUITTING JELLICO. Operators Expect to Import New Men - For the Mines. " The Chattanooga agent of the Jellico Coal Company states that the miners of the Jellico region are leaving in droves and that very few of the men remain. There is none of the Jellico coal in Chattanooga and only a few of the small mines are running.

Concise, Brief and to the Polnti Questions of Great Import Will Be Treated. . ... r The special correspondent t of the Atlanta Journal at "Washington wires his paper a follows: The president will not Je caught napping when congress. meets. ' He is already, at work on his message, his first annual message to the congress of the United SUtes. :-v s ' In fact he has already prepared 'an outline of it and he will fill it in from time to time as he gets the oppprtnity. He hopes to have it finished: before the congressmen begin to pour In when his time will be pretty well taken tip. .. '- .-. - The message; so I am informed, will be comparatively brief and very much to the point It will contain a well boiled down review of the work since the administration's birth and a warm congratulation to the country on the return of prosperity, giving full credit to the members of the house and sen ate for the part they played in it. The -president will - point - out the benefits to be derived from annexa tion of the Hawaiian islands and urge a speedy ratification of the treaty by the senate. He expects now to report in his message the progress Minister Woodford will have made in his nego tiations with Spain. looking to. bring ing.the Cuban -war to a close. He will set forth the Cuban situation as he sees it, extenuating nothing. But in case nothing definite has been done by Spain toward the freeing of the island, he will ask congress to keep its hands :off a little longer. Should "Woodford's mission have failed it is thought here that the president will so state, as he will hare nothing to gain by holding"any thing back from congress. - . ".;'' "-C ' .. j He will strongly urge the enactment of some currency reform legislation and express the hope that before the fifty-fifth congress adjourns the theory of general arbitration will be , made a fact by, the putting into operation a treaty stripped of some of the objec tionable features which caused the de feat of the ' first one negotiated be tween this, country and Great. Britain. The part of the message relating to the Cuban situation will be the only portion of the message held back for revision until the last day. From now on the president will make appointments as , rapidly as he can. He is anxious to get the matter of federal office out of the way. The office-seekers are still at Washington in great numbers; . in fact, there are more of them than there have been at any time since the adjournment of congress. The president is back to stay and it is well known that he in tends to keep at the pie counter till the last piece worth eating has been given away. . CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. Shlpherd's Partner Says That He Madtf "Way With Over 300,000. John J. Shipherd, for several years prominent as an investment broker and street railway promoter at Cleve land, O., was arrested Monday morning on the charge of embezzlement. He was released on $10,000 bail.

' the United States . tenders to Spain its good offices to act as a friend between the mother country and her rebellious colony in the hope that she may be able to effect a settlement and bring the warfare to a close. - "This is all there is in the note. There is not the faintest suggestion of this government forcing upon Spain her good offices if she does not care to voluntarily accept them, "nor is . there an intimation that the war must be brought to an end by a certain time, or that Spain must return her answer to this note by a fixed; date."
