which he made in debate in tho Senate
some years ago. In these remarks the
principal statement advanced was that
since the formation of the Government all

Senator Bayard, by this time, must bo con-

Adulterated Food.
REPORT OF THE NEW YORK SENATE
COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC HEATH
BUTTER FIFTY PER CENT
IMITATION.

The New York senate cemmittoe an
public health, which has been investi.
eating the adulterations of food nra-
sented its report Friday. The commit.
tee has discovered alarming wholesale
adulterations of food which are denre-
ciaClng property in the rural districts
Inc adulteratiOn of butter bv tsllow
OIL bone oil and lard oil was found in
almost every town and city i'm the state
ana Ill an amount which eouals hale
the production of the natural article
Inc imitation is so disguised that often
1t can only be detected by chemical
analysis Out of thirty samples of
alleged butter purchased by the COM
mlttee in New York, only 10 were
genuine. No labels to distinguish tho
pure from the bogus butter are dispIav-
ed as required by the existing law
Bogus butter is largely purchased bv
saloons, boarding houses and second.
class hotels. The poor qualities of
bogus butter sell from 20 to 30 CENTS to
laOorlng men and the better grades ot
~ or 45 cents. The cost of manufac-
ture ranges from II to Is cents the
average being IA cents. The manuf,c-
ture in the State is chiefly carried ON
IN New York and BROOKLYN. severaI
concerns manufacturing over 5000 600
pounds each out of fat brought from
the West, from France and from Italy
Inc bulk of the bogus butter is manu-
lactured in the West and sold in New
York to the detriment of the Stoto,s
DAIRY interests. Many dairy farmers
nave been driven out of business in
consequence. The loss to the State is
estimated at from $5,OOO,O 900 to 10000 |
OOo yearly. The committee estimates
That 100000 pounds of the product
are sold annually in the State. The
lIlegltlmate business is breaking up the
export butter trade. The effect of the
deception i'll the trade is deleteriouS to
AAOAdl DuIlcIlne can be sold
at Is cents less than natural butter.
The committee quotes extensively
from the evidence obtained to show the
evil moral, commercial and sanitary
effects of adulterations. The use of
nitric and sulphuric acids in deodoriz-
ing adulterated butter is particularly
condemned. The committee recon-
mends the total prohibition after a
given time of the manufacture and sale
OF all butter radulterations. The living
asserts the committee, cannot compete
with the dead hog. The committee
also finds that 2OOO 900 out of the 5OOOOO
quarts of milk furnished New York
lally IN 1882 were water or skim milk
The committee recommends the an
polntment of a State inspector of milk
md also recommends that the officials
20 be chosen to enforce anti-adultera-
ION laws be selected from and repre-
ent dairy interests.

The President and the Women.

1t is said that President Arthur in.
vlted the officers and delegates of the
Women's Suffrage Association to call
on him. But he made it purely social
visit, and in spite of their efforts to get
some sort of declaration of opinion
from him, he parried every feminine
advance so politely but adroitly that
they were quite charmed and amused
by his tact.
Miss Susan B. Anthony says she told
the President that the women present
represented twenty States, ana she ap-
pealed to him, as candidate for re-
election, to come out frankly for
woman suffrage. Tho President re-
Piled that it was a very remarkable
assemblage of women, and said that he
had observed that when the woman
were determined to carry point thew
always succeeded in getting all thew
ought to have" Rather ambiguous.
but safe. Miss Anthony said: "I ask
ed him if he did not think women
ought to have the same rights and
privileges as men. Heanswered-well,
L don't think anybody could tell which
which way it was he answered, but it
was very polite"
Miss Anthony said she relieved the
Marshal of the duty of introducing the
ladies, doing that herself. $50 we
came away, having been treated with
the utmost pOliteness, and as finely !
pleased as are the numerous delega-
tions of men who go to call ON the
President" She added in conclusion
that "if the women had represented
voting constituency they would have
made a greater impression and have
received more positive answers"
Nobody will doubt that, and probably
the President would admit the truth of
it.
There were about hundred or more
in the party, and they encountered
Gen. Butler in the hall, and for while
flew about as thich as the
'nowflakes the day before. The Cen
eral smiled blandly, and hoped to see
hem there again, and they returned

'ame place, or words to that effect.

Taken all in all, the interview was a I
ort of mutual admiration episode.
they were pleased with the Presidents
orteous greeting, and he was impress t
d by the culture, refinement and lady
Ike presence of many who have been G

FASHIONS IN STATIoNERY.-Letter
paper, envelopes, visiting, reception
wedding and gift cards go out of style
with just as much rapidity as dresses
bonnets, shoes and collars. As etiquette
prescribes the form and design of each,
it behooves every member of society
who values his reputation to keep him
self posted on these matters.
Everything now in the way of writ
ing paper is ragged-ragged as the
reputation of a Tilted dude-and to use
letter-paper, folded wedding cards or
invitations of any kind that have other
than raw edge is to ignore the first
law of Dame Fashion. The letter.
paper varies in size, but in no instance
IS it more than double the size of the
envelope-that is to say, society folds
her letters but once.
Every conceivable style of ornamen-
tation finds favor, so desperate is the
effort to show individuality. Where
the stock is not varied enough, favored
customers are permitted to put their
fancies in writing, and these pen pic
lures are sent to the manufacturer for
execution. But the average buyer is
not so hard to please, and if any obiec-
ton is raised it is very apt to be of a
financial nature.

IGNORANCE IN HIGH LIFE.-"You
have got very picturesque paper, :"
remarked an elegantly dressed young
gentleman, looking over the shoulder
of a man who was reading a copy of
Terds SiItings.
1t is an actual fact, that the young
man, although residing on Fifth Av..
New York, was under the impression
that a picturesque paper meant one
that was full Ofpictures.
This is almost as good as the story of
the clergyman, who imagined that gar
bage meant pretty much the same as
garb, and who consequently rebuked
the frivolities of the ladies whose dress
or garbage" as he put it, was too ex-
travagant.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR VICE

for the Vice Presidency, except among

in his modesty he never seems to be
unconscious of the fact that he owed

largely to the great lineage be bears.

The prohibition sentiment is making
remarkable headway in the rural sec
tions of Georgia. Last week Whitfield
and Cobb counties voted in favor of
prohibition by more than two to one.
1t was also noticeable that in both coun-

unanimously for prohibition. The
Atlanta oOnstitatioa says that within a
year it is doubtful if liquor win be sold
in Georgia outside of Chatham, Bibb,
Richmond, Fulton, Muscogee and

The CANADA THIsTLE.-Beecher
says that "the only way to exterminate
the Canada thistle is to plant it for a

of it. Then worms will gnaw it, bugs
will bite it, beetles will bore it, aphides
will suck it, birds will peck it, heat will
scorch it, rains will drown it, and mil,
dew and blight cover it.n
