POISONED BY TOADSTOOLS.
Four Who Ate Them By Mistake
Died Near Landisville, N. J.
Toadstools mixed with mushrooms
and eaten at a bir:hday party has
caused the death of four of the six
members of the family of Joseph
Franzor, a farmer, who resides near
Landisville. N. J. The dead are
Joseph Franzor, aged thirty-eight
years; his wife, aged thirty and two
daughters aged seven and two years.
The remaining members of the fam
ily. two boys, aged five and four
years, owe their lives to the fact :hat
they did not partake of the poisonous
mixture.
Franzor was a miner at Leadville,
Colo. Last March he purchased a
fifty-acre farm near Landisville with
money provided by his wife's brother
things he raised was a small quan
tity of mushrooms. Last Friday a
week the family decided to have a
birthday party in honor of the two
yeard-old daughter. Mushrooms was
one of the dishes to be served, and
the seven-year-old daughter said she
knew where mushrooms could be
found in the woods near by. She
gathered some of the fungi, and the
mother, supposing they were mush
rooms, added them to the mushrooms
taken from their own soil. Only the
members of the family were presei t,
and only four of the six ate mush
rooms.
During the night the father, moth
er, and the two little girls became ill.
The next morning a doctor was sent
for and he diagnosed the cases as
that of hiccoughs. All four contin
ued to grow worse, and on Monday
the two children died. A few days
later the parents were brought to the
Medico-Chirugical hospital in that
city, where it was discovered that they
were suffering from toadstool poison
ing. The greatest interest was taken
in the cases by the hospital physi
cians, but, despite their efforts the
husband died Sunday night and the
wife Monday. Mrs. Franzor was un
conscious almost continually from the
time she became ill. Neighbors at
Landisville have taken charge of the
two orphans, and will communicate
with their uncle at Leadville.
FOR EIGHTEEN CENTS.
Central Railway Of Georgia Sued
For That Sum.
Atlanta, Gi., Aug. 7.-A suit for the
recovery of eighteen cents, the price
of a ticket from Atlanta to East
Point, has been filed in Justice Or
mond's court against the Central
railway of Georgia. The suit is the
outcome of an experience had by
Attorney Paul Etheredge at the ter
minal station.
Friday morning, Mr. Et" ige ac
companied a young lady who had
been visiting his family, to the ter
minal station, where she was to take
the train for her home in Americus
at 8 o'clock. It is against the rules
of the station for anyone to pass into
the train shed unless they have a
ticket. Wishing to go with the
young lady to her car, Mr. Etheredge
purchased a ticket to East Point, for
which he paid 18 cents. The ticket
was stamped redeemable, and he in
tended to return it to the agent as
soon as he returned from his mission.
On returning from the train, to the
agent's office, and demanding his
money 'back, he was turned down by
the agent. The latter declared that
the ticket had been stamped by the
gate keeper. Mr. Etheredge, after
having a second request for his mon
ey turned down, went at once to the
office of Judge Ormond and brought
suit against the Central of Georgia
railroad. The trial of the case was
set for the third Monday in this
month.
The cost; in the case will probably
amount to over S4o, but the attorney
says he will gladly pay any amount in
order that the question of principle
involved in the case may be settled.
The Extravagant Girl.
Two young men were talking to
gether on the train, says Margaret
Hubert Ayer in the New York WVorld.
"What are you going to do Satur
dar afternoon?" said one.
"'Oh, nothing in particular. I want
ed to take Mamie out agin, but I
can't afford it. Not that she is ex
travagant, but she doesn't seem to
realize that everything amounst up in
:h en( . even. i artares an.d ")da\\ae.
\nd a fa:nnlay afternin treat with
her :alke a " > de nm of one's
The same c,mplimnent wvas heard
from at'(ther struggling young man:
"I can't call on Miss So-and-so1
:,ften or accept her mother's hospi
:ali:ies. beause she is putting me
tnder an obligation that I cannot
repay without spending just about all
I make in one week in theater tickets,
cabs, bouquets, etc.
Girls if you want to be popular
don't be extravagant, or expect a
man who makes $8 a week to spend
$7.50 in amusements for you.
Have some consideration for the
boys!
The kind of girl who expects her
path to be strewn with bouquets,
candy, theater tickets annd traps gen
erally, will find her popularity short
lived, no matter how charming she
may be.
The average young man's pocket
book cannot stand the strain, long,
and he will turn to some other girl,
less attractive perhaps, but who will
be content with the attentions he
can afford to bestow upon her.
It is a girl's place to see that the
expenses a young man incurs for her
pleasure shall not excee9 what he can
easily afford.
It is also the girl's-place to show
her men friends that she is satisfied
to enjoy their society at her own
home among her family.
It is natural to want a change of
scene now and then, but this easily
becomes a habit; then the home offers
no attractions to the girl who is
used to the excitment of constant
variety.
This is where extravagant propen
sities begin and popularity ceases.
Every womanly girl is an embryo
home-maker. She shows this by ma
king her parcits' home attractive To
her friends.
Every manly boy is unconsciously
looking fo- this quality in a girl, even
though he take her off on excursions
and picnics.
When he eventually finds that she
cares only for the amusements that
cost him money he will begin to with
draw and to seek some girl who will
be an'agreeable companion on a less
expensive scale.
There is where the girl who 'takes
pleasure in all simple amusements
steps in. She has kept, or cultivated,
a child-like gayety of spirit and does
not need much outward provocation
to bubble over with mirth and en
joyment.
Her home is bright to her and to
others because she is in it. and in its
way is quite interesting and delight
ful a place to her as the palace of her
fairy-tale days.
She has work to do, which keeps
her busy, whets he appetite for hol
iday pleasu.res and gives her a
knowledge of the value of money.
And she does not spend that of others
without remembering how difficult it
is to get.
She's the ideal summer girl.-Ex.
The Old Time Parlor.
Manchester Union.
The days of the parlor are fast go
ing. There was once a time when
every family, no matter how poor.
had its parlor. And generally the
parlor was a most useless place, but
i was the pride of the housewife.
The Observant Citizen remembers
some time ago when the lady of the
house insisted that he should 'see
"her parlor." Her husband smiled
good naturedly, and they both led the
way to a big front room which was
locked. The door was unlocked, and
the parlor got its first fresh air in
miths. The little family had ex
'pended much money on the parlor.
Everything was new but the stuffed,
irds under glass cases. The design
of the carpet was wonderful in that it
felt like stepping into a bed of flames.
A horse shoe sofa, very erect, was the
principal article of furnicure, while
at the windows were the stiffest lace
curtains you ever saw. The room had
a musty smell due to long confined
air. It was "luxury imprisoned" on a
small scale and the finest example of
the old time useless parlor.
