Poison In the Coffee.

One of the COW keepers whose place was
to protest against the declaration that the
milk he daily serves to his customers is not
natural and healthy secretion. Naturally
such statement could not be pleasant to
him, but we adhere to our opinion that the
statement was nevertheless true. This man
says that he keeps, in ''large, lofty. we'll
ventilated stable" nearly thirty COWS. One
OF the sections of that com poste code that
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals hos in its keeping provides that
in any building or on any premises.
or on grounds Of which he may
be the owner, lessee. tenant or &C.
cupant more cows or other cattle than at
the rate of fifteen to an acre" Now, does
that ''large, lofty and well ventilated stable
cover two acres?" If it does not there are
too many COWS in it. The clause we quote
is ono of the original regulations OF the
Health Board that it has become the duty OF
Mr.. Bergh's society to enforce. 1t may not
therefore apply to the suburban district OF
Brooklyn in oil its force but, as it is an ex-
preston Of sanitary truth. it may be &C
cepted as safe guide to the principle IN
regard to cows that the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals should en-.
deavor TO enforce and we therefore call the
attention of that society to the admissions
made by Mr.. Evans.

is about to introduce a rapid transit bill,
with the following title-"An act to au-
thorise the citizens of Ne,o York to construct any
kind Of rapid transit road that does not conflict
soih the interests of the Sir;h Avenue horse car

The Latest War News.

Although the news from the seat Of war
is not very stirring there is enough to indi-
cate that the Russian advance in Asia
Minor is remarkably successful. No
serious engagement has yet taken place,
yet the invaders have already reaped some
substantial advantages that must affect
favorably their further progress. The occu-
patton of Bajazid, although bloodless sue
cess, is nevertheless an important one, be-
cause it proves that the Turks have been
surprised at q point where they did not ex-
pect Russian force, and. therefore.
did not provide for defence. 1t also
proves that the Russian army is ex-
tending its lines SO as to embrace q
wide range Of territory, and is moving for
ward like great seine, sweeping into its
meshes all the small fry of Turkish garri-
sons and forcing the bigger fish to common
centre, where they will be- surrounded in
time or forced to go westward The wings
of the Russian army will probably begin to
close on Erzeroum when the main Turkish
forces are concentrated for the defence OF
that position. If the Turks stake their for
tunes on o pitched battle, and are VIC
torious, the war may end there and then.
But as this is very improbable, on
account of the strength of the Rus
sian army in Asia, we may look
forward to operations on the line of the
Danube as soon as a decided Russian sue
cess in Armenia warrants o forward move
ment in European Turkey. The activity in
tho British navy yards and arsenals does not
look well for the general peace of Europe.
We fear that in little while some other
great Power may say, IF this is free fight
count me in"

but Turkey holds that Roumania is her
subject province. and the reign;ng Prince
has not been able to secure much respect
for his protest against that claim. In fact
the letter of the law on which he must
stand isagainst him. Therefore, if Roumania
takes part with Russia it is rather as re-
bellous province that goes over to the
invader than as an independent Power
which abandons an attitude of reserve
which it had the option to maintain. But
II Roumaria has violated her neutrality"
what them Does it present case for
European or English intervention that a

we have pointed out government
opinion in England apart from public
opinion-a kind of craftsmanship whose aim
is to defeat and jockey the popular purpose.
Aware that great sentiment in England is
averse to further support Of the Ottoman
Power against the Christianization Of Europe
this opinion does not openly advocate war
with Russia but awaits the opportunity to
provoke excitement over some fact that i'm.

and the cry about Roumanias neutrality is
an attempt Of that sort

Wandell has condemned this wretch to three

We call the attention of Mayor Ely to this

thoroughly, too, he owes it to the people Of

greatly shocked at some recent murders in
Mississippi that this outrage happened in
the midst Of what we call the highest civili-

wild region, where everybody goes armed

Hon. d. NJ. Key, p. ". General, Washing

agen: of the Postoffice Department. in A re-
port to you OF recent date, recommends
he withdrawal of mail service by steam
boat on the Iazoo, TalIahatchie aud SIM

aud a substitution therefor of the. stSra, >
service connecting with the Mississir ri

beg leave respectfully to protest against
th~ advised change. and submit for yoar
consideration the following facts: By ref
eTence to the contracts made for carriage
Of mails by steamboat from Nicksburg to
Greenwood, I aZoo river, and from Green
wood to Sharkey' : on the TailAhatchie river
and from Nicksburg TO Faisonia, On the
SunflOWer river, 1t will be seen that the
sum paid by the Department under these
contracts compared with amounts paid for
steamboat service on other routes is very
low, aud perhaps rs reasonable as the cost

very difficult, and to the SuBtlower river
almost impossible. | take il for granted
that NJ Reside has rot visited the routes

make the recommendation of change from
steam boat to star service. l believe the
Star service has been tried by some of
the postofiices on these routes and abandon

the mail supply being to promote inter

iiciares will be prompt to notify the De-
