PURPLE AND WHITE DECORATIONS FOR ELKS CARNIVAL AT LITTLE PRICES - X HMtMMMMMMMCMHMtMMMMM DEATH IS EVER PRESENT, KslEftnhef tha De&dlfeeci Potion Ever XtOOvered by- Scleao. New Tork Evening Post. A-factory for the manufacture of some cf the deadliest poisons known is located not far from the lieart of New York City, and sufficient poison Is being made thoro now to annihilate the whole popu lation of the greater city. It Is guarded carefully from all intruders and no one passes beyon,d Its portals without a spe cial permit, and even employes have to be skilled in their work and understand the nature of the risk they take before admittance is granted them. In this fac tory Is manufactured pur anhydrous acid, a drug that Is never placed on the market in its pure state, and even in the chemist's laboratory it is handled with all the "bare ot a poisonous reptile. If the fumes of this add should escape the chemist would never live to tell the tale. The man who discovered it was killed by inhaling Its fumes, and many another has met a elmllar death. From 3 to 5 per cent of this acid diluted with 97 parts of water forms prufltlo acid. Even this poison is so deadly that inhaling its fumes would mean instant death, and It is never handled except In the factory or a few large responsible laboratories. Probably next in. importance to this add Is the cyanide of potassium, which is manufactured in the came factory, only In another part of the building, where a fireproof and airtight wall shuts It off We don't single out anything for particular mention today. Everything is special these before-season days. Let's talk about clothes in the abstract. Do you wear ready-tailored or made-to-order? If the former, did you ever investigate the superiority of "Moyer Clothing? If the latter, are you open to conviction that we can compete successfully with your tailor in the goodness and get-up of clothing, while beating him all to i POPULAR-PRICE CLOTHIERS BEN SELLING, Manager Corner Third Colored Dress Goods MORE NEW FALL ARRIVALS A. superb collection (latest colorings) of Golf Skirtings and Cloaklnes, In two-tones and plaid backs, $2.00 to $5.00 per yd.

The fumes of this are not poisonous, and one can work In the room where It la manufactured without fear, except that he must not touch it. The slightest quantity of the poison In Its pure state would kill If swallowed. The fumes of cyanide of potassium have a rather pleasant odor, and It Is said at the factory that It Jias a" -witching effect on workmen. For all the world the finished poison looks like prystalllzed sugar .and as you gaze on it and smell the fasci nating odor there Is a strong temptation to taste it. This fascination is probably much like that which draws a man over a steep precipice. At any rate the attrac tion to taste of the poison Is so well rec ognized that a workman is never allowed in the room alone. In the mlxlng-room, where the men toll before a huge caldron of molten cyanide, the scene is like that of some old witch's cave, espedally if one knows the nature of the terrible poison that the men aro brewing. 3Ir. Choate'a Rap at air. DepeTr. The Postmaster-General, Mr. Charles Emory Smith-, has Just had his portrait painted by "William Chase. It Is a Gov ernment order, and the painting has been shipped to Paris to hang In the post office exhibit at the exposition. It will be returned to the Buffalo exposition and then hang with the other "obituaries" as the Cabinet calls them In a room at the Poetofflco Department in Washing ton. Mr. Smith has a serious face and Mr. Chase wanted him to smile.

UMMMMMHMM j Postmaster-General that he was the best model among all the public men he had painted, because of his absolute repose, but that he lost himself In thought. This was an objection, and. in order to meet it, the artist, who Is a diplomatist, resorted to a clever stratagem. He told Mr. Smith this story to make him 'smile. It was a rap at Senator Chauncey M. Iopew by Mr. Joseph H. Choate, when the artist was dining with them. - Choate said that Iepew,a name was now a synonym for "talkativeness," to prove which he recited a verse he had made up on the spot: There was once a man in St. Ixrata, In love with a sweet little Jewess; She talked night and day; In go charming: a way. That he called her his Chauncey Depewess. Saturday Evening Post. Rxx.i Cause Fires. Youth's Companion. A Boston .Are Insurance company re cently made an Interesting Investigation to discover. If possible, whether there is any reason for the popular belief that rats and mice set fires by gnawing matches. The experiment covered a pe riod of three months. Rats and mice,' singly or several at a time, were confined In large Iron cages containing matches of various kinds and cotton waste. The mice, no matter how hungry they were, never gnawed the matches, but the rats set several fires', the sulphur matches be ing In each case the Instruments pieces in prices?
