Mr. Cullom Says It Would Be Cruel to Deprive People of Homes on Short Notice. The Senate got into a delightful snarl yesterday over the bill revising the forms of real estate conveyances in the District, which was taken up at about half-past 1 o'clock, and which occupied th? entire af- ternoon, until tt was crowded aside by the executive session, to be taken up again to- day. Senator Allen caused the difficulty by insisting that there should ve some revision of the existing laws so as to give the debt- ors more time and notice »f sale under foreclosed deeds of trust. He moved, first, to amend by giving eight weeks’ notice,with publication once during each week. This was satisfactory to Mr. Faulk ier, in charge of the bill, and the ameniment was about to go through and the bill to be passed when Mr, Allen changed his mind and mov- ed to recommit the bill with instructions to send it back to the Senate with a prov for equity proceedings in all such This motion, after considerable heavy legal debate, was lost—16 to 30—and ther the war his was renewed. Mr. Hoar said that in judgment the amendment had agreed to, although Mr. Harris Faulkner agreed that the amealment had been accepted by the latter and that there had been no objection to its incorporation in the bill. Senator Sherman *ook a hand in the discussion, and said that ‘n his be- lief the present law is good enough, and that eight weeks is too much time. The people of the District, he said, are apt to regard real estate much as they -lo person- al property, and to deal in it in on the same fashion. The change would be, he thought, a serious embarrassment to the property owners and borrowers of Wash- ington. After considerable lebate Mr. Al- len proposed an amendment providing that the grantor in the trust deed, his h or assigns, may redeem the trust property so sold at any time within one year after the sale, by the payment of the principal and interest of the debt and all iegal costs of the sale. Called It Cruel. The discussion ws jcined in by Senators Davis, Peffer, linger, Dolph, Harris, Faulkner, George, Hunton, Hoar, Gray, Chandler and Cullom. Mr. a bit of a scene by remarking of the bill: “It is cruel, and I am surprised that the generous-hearted Sevator from West Vir- ginia should bring a bill into the Senate which provides for that sort of proceeding in the District of Columbia which relates to rea! estat. Mr. Faulkner ins’ legution of cruel why he did not a Sherman when he, tly refuted the al- and asked Mr, Cullom ress his remark to Mr. Mr. Faulkner, had ac- cepted the amendment of Mr. Allen pro- | viding for further notice. Mr. Cullom thereupon expressed his surprise that he should insist that ten days’ notice is suf- ficient. “Sir, there are hurdreds of people in the District. of Columbia today,” he said “probably they are employes of the de- |partmerts—who have bought little homes and paid out upon them $1,000 or $1,500, more or less, and have nearly completed their payments.

It dees seem to me that we ought not to hesitate an instant in requiring eight weeks’ notice, if we do not provide that the mortgagor may go into court and have the court act upon the question of foreclosure of the mortgage or trust deed. I do not care to discuss the matter longer, but I in- sist there should not, and I hope there will not, be any opposition to a provision re- quiring a reasonable notice to the grant of a trust deed before it can be foreciosed. Ther. the eight weeks’ amendment was agreed to. At 5 o'clock the lawyers of the Senate were so deep in their legal exercises that there was no prospect of a vote on the bill, and the Senate went into executive session. ———._—_ KILLED THE “SIDE DOOR” BILL. The Proposition to Open Saloons on nday. The “side door” bill, favored by the New York assembly committee, but not by tne republican caucus, caused trouvie in the assembly last night. Under the report of committees Mr. Denniston, from :he com- mittee on excise, reported the pill permit- ting saloons in cities of over 25,000 inhab- itants to sell liquor on Sunday, with the side doors of their saloons opea and the front doors closed and the bliads drawn. Mr. Ainsworth said this gives a man who has the money to spend an opportznity to sneak around to a side door sand get as drunk as he pleases on the Sabbath day. There was no politics in this vill, and he appealed to the self-respecting men of both sides of the house to defeat it. whole question presented by the bill was whether the American Sabbath shall be perp2tuated or shall the continental Sunday be foisted on the people of this country. He d:d rot know what the excise committee was think- ing about when it reported th he 1 joiced that the state had a Christiaa, God- fearing governor, who would puncture Uns bill with a veto. It was not a question of prohibition, of temperance, of high or low license. It was one of plain sno: pd one on which all men could vaite ant kill the bill. He moved to disagree wich the re- port of the committee. Mr. Ainsworth’s motion was adopted— ayes 62, nays 53. This kills the bill. cee LAID UP.

COLOR AND HEALTH) Prof. Munroe's Talk on the Relations of One to the Other. How Extensively Arsenic is Used and Some of Its Unfort ite Rey to Other Pigments Dangerous. The little stage of the lecture hall of the Columbian University looked very much like a drug store window last night. To be sure, there were no automatic tooth- brushes displayed in geometric symmetry, nor were there harmonious exhibitions of perfume bottles to catch the passing eye. But there were all the familiar earmarks of a drug store window present, all the same—a profusion of bottles of all sorts and sizes, and, best of all, an array of tall jars filled with the conventional brilliant colors in transparent liquids through which the light shone with now a red sparkle, next a green twinkle, then a yellow smirk, and finally a blue flash, to say nothing of a lot of second cousins to these staid colors, shading off into all sorts of tints and tones. Behind this formidable array stood a Quiet little gentleman in evening dress, and on the other side sat a couple of hundred people or so with surprise and almost fear written plainly on their faces. The little gentleman on the stage was simply fright- ening the folks down in front with his big bottles and giving them chills with his iit- ue ones. Relation of Color to Health. It was a lecture by Professor Charles E. Munroe of the Columbian University, on the subject of “Color in Its Relation to Health,” as one of the useful and instructive talks of the course given this winter under the auspices of the Sanitary League. A good many of the auditors went to the lecture wondering what in the world color has got to do with their ills and ails, but they were not long in doubt, for in a very few min- utes the lecturer had begun wo talk so glibly about arsenic plastered all over the wall paper of modern dwelling houses that their wonder was that the world had rot been depopulated years and yeurs ago, leav- ing only the wicked manufacturers of col- cred wall paper to gloat over their crime: Later in the evening, to be sure, Prof. sor Munroe reassured his hearers that there Was not really so much danger nowadays, especially since the formation of sanitary leagues and other protective bodies, as there was in former days, when people did not have the same faith in chemistry as they do now, and when every ache and pain was attributed to bad sewering or to imperfect furnaces. In introducing his subject, Professor Munroe noted that animal life, in its rela- tion to colors, treat certain colored varie- ties of food with repugnance, to be eaten only when more palatable varieties fail, and that they don their most attractive colors for courtship, their apathetic colors for concealment, or their sematic for pro- tection. Man naturally, therefore, applies color to wider uses, and has come to em- ploy it in his dress, his food, his fabric and his surroundings. The number of native colors and pigments at hand are in enor- mous riety, but with this profusion and great variation are associated equal varia- tons in other properties, and, considered from a sanitary standpoint, while most coloring matters are quite harmless, some are but relatively so, while a few are whol- ly bad. Some of these substances that are harmless in themselves give rise to bad re- sults from the presence in them of harmful bodies employed in their manufacture, or used in applying them to the fabric or sur- Arsenic the Most Harmful. Arsenic was taken up at this point as the most common and the best known, as weil as, perhaps, the most harmful of these poisonous coloring agents. This substance, said the lecturer, may occur in either of these ways, being used as a pigment, also finding direct employment in the produc- tion of organic coloring matter and as a mordant in dyeing. It is quite cheap in the form of the sublimate, and this cheapness, combined with the brillianey and aurability of the colors of its compounds, are the factors that determine its wide use as a |pigment for wall paper. The arsenical lgreens are Scheele’s, Schweinfurt’s and Paris greens, are all used widely, and are all deadly poisons, ditfering in ’ intensity but slightly from the pure element. One manufacturer of wail papers alone used two tons of arsenic weekly, while the entire product of arsenic from England was only from 500 to 70u tons a year. “While the greens,” “Prof. Munroe went on, “are those among the arsenical colors that have been most generally used for decorating wail papers, yet it must not be inferred that the presence of a green color is necessarily due to arsenical compounds, for there are many other green matters employed in painting, dyeing and coloring that are wholly cr comparatively innocu. ous. On the other hand, it is equally erro- neous to suppose that the absence of a green color proves the absence of arsenic gar, orpiment and mineral blue, respectively, brilliant white, red, and blue colors that are used in Ww; pers, either alone or in mixtures.

These experiments went to the lensth of identify- ing with a certain degree of accuracy the various compounds by name ani by char- acteristics, and led to definite results more conclusively than ever before. An interest- ing instance of arsenical poisoning was j cited, showing beyond a doubt that the Presence of wall hangings colored with these materials is deleterious “This case of prolonged discomfort and distress,” said Prof. Munroe, “is but one example from among a ‘nultitude on record which have occurred among arsenical sur- roundings and where the accompanyin symptoms have puzzled both whysict: and patients, and have disappeared with the disappearance of the arsentcal body. Arsenical paper is used for other purposes, such as wrappings for lozenges, chocolates and other confections, for covering boxes, for tickets, lamp-shades, show cards, play- ing cards, for the manufacture cf various decorations, and in kindergarten work. Ar- , Senical colors have been extensively used in the manufacture of artificial flowers. Many of the green sprays of artificial grass and leaves, which so closely :mitate nature, owe their delicate shade and brilliancy to the presence of an arsenical green. Indeed, Hofmann has found in a single twig of twelve leaves ten grains of arsenic, so that @ woman might carry, in all innocence, enough arsenic in her sloral decorations to destroy herself and a score of her fellows. Arsenical colors have heen used in the coloring of dress-goods, especially for tar- latan, the color being loos: ly fixed on with starch or size, and in such quantity that a dress of ordinary dimensions would hold feebly in its texture between three and four ounces of arsenic.

Poisoning From Pai: ‘Arsenical pigments are sometimes used as blocks of color in the boxes of paints in common use among children, and the latter have been poisoned by placing the Paints or the brushes ‘n their mouths, Such colors have been used for coloring cheap wooden toys. A red toy flag which Poisoned @ child was found to contain 4.08 Srains of arsenic to the square yard. Arsene ical colors are used for hatbands, stock+ ings, gloves, candies, crayons and other articles. One case is given of a child play- ing with water colors, who, attracted by the bright green color of a’ book, used it as a palette, and, placing the brush be- tween his lips, was seized with convulsions. Investigation showed that the book cover was dyed with Paris green, and the sad yet comical Side of the affair was devel when it was found that the book was report of the Society Cruelty to Children. ad and its compounds next occupi attention of the lecturer, who showed that its indiscriminate use in poisonous com« pounds is very theatening to the general health. In the form of chromate of lead, or chrome yellow, this substance has been used for decorating toys and coloring con- fectionery, adulterating murtard and 4 Substitutes, and also used wy bakers to sive to their noodles, buns and cakes the appearance of richness. “Fortuately the employment of lead pig- ment for coloring articles of food is now, owing to the active assaults made upon them by sanitarians, quite unusual, but I have seen a candy toy made to represent Several mounted soldiers gaily which was built up of pure sugar, while their red caps and trimming were colored with vermiilion, their yeliow buttons and certain other portions of their uniforms, besides their cream colored horses, with chrome yellow, their blue coats with ultra- marine, and the grass on which they rode with Prussian blue, mixed with chrome yellow, made brilliant with occasional patches of arsenic green. Lead compounds have also been used as the constituents or cosmetics and hair dyes, and have produced poisoning by absorption through the skin. As lead is a cumulative poison the frequent repetition of these small doses eventually leads to paralysis of the muscles, Copper Salts. “The coloring property of copper salts re- sults in their being somewhat used for col- oring sweetmeats.toyg absinthe, and in im- parting the coveted green to peas, pickles, and other vegetables. Among other me- tallic salts having poisoning properties which are used for coloring are: Bismuth sublimate, used under the name of ‘pearl | white’ for painting, in cosmetics and hair |dyes, and the chromate, used in calico printing; silver nitrate, used for hair dyes, in photography, and for marking inks; mer- phide or v lion, used in confec- apers, cigarette papers; mercuri¢e used for coloring horn and the cadmium yellow, used ell as for painting, and e for the Prevention of nitrate, finer sorts of wool; in toilet soaps as w the antimony yellows, which are used as pigments.” in addition to these Prof. Munroe gave a large number of noxious coal-yar dyes, which are used extensively. In conclusion It is impossible to invariably pronounce on the physiological action of a {chemical substance from a knowledge of its constitution or its derivation, and it has led a number of chemists to institute pre- cise researches with each of the many rs most commonly employed, that we might have more accurate information on which to base legislation regarding the sence or presence of arsenic to be had ex. cept as proved by a careful chemical analy sis.
