Training Race Horses.

IF the diary of some old trainer could
be brought to light to compare with an
ordinary training report for morning
in these days there would be changes IN
the character of representations. 1t
would be very useful, also, in deciding
several questions as to the merits OF
modern race horses in comparison with
those of our forefathers. 1t is said that
horses used to stay better than they do
now, and such champions as Bening-
borough, Hambletonian, Orville, Tramp,
etc. are spoken of as altogether
harder race than the horses of the pres
emit dav. It is forgotten, however, that
the preparations they necessarily re-
ceiyed were of q kind to fit them to GO
over distance of ground, though =
must have been at a certain pace, as
trained as our horses are at the present
day races could not be won under all
the disadvantages experienced by the
ancients.
If it was announced that Harvester
was going to walk from Newmarket to
Epson to meet his engagement for the
Derby, he would go back to an outside
price. as the feat would be deemed i'm
possible: but that would have been
thought an easy journey less than fifty
years ago, and the question may well
arise as to how it was done from the
North of England to Epson before rail-
way times. John Scott must have
brought st. Giles down the whole way
by road from Nation to win the Derby
OF 1882, as the lines to the North We're
not opened for some years later. We
know the great Northern trainer brought
his team Of horses down some little time
before the n Getting, and he had another
place at Pigburn, near Doncaster, but

Results of investigation by Chicago
Citizens Committee of the Subject of
Food Adulteration-FraudE Everywhere.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. June q.
A committee of the Citizens Associa"
ton appointed make an exhaustive
investigation of food adulteration, pub
lished its report to-day. The committee
says: "It may be too much, but it is not
greatly too much, to say that nearly
every manufactured article OF food and
drink now in use, and many of the drugs
and compounds used as medicines, are
.adulteIated or sophisticated in greater
or less degree, and although In most, but
not all cases, the foreign ingredient Is in
noxious in its character, the product is
fraud, because designed to supply the
place of better article without the
knowledge of the purchaser" Further
ON the report says: $50 far has the
manipulation OF certain articles been
carried that in the butter trade,
for instance, the genuine article
cannot be procured from the or
binary merchants in the commodity
at a price far above its proper value.
The committee enumerates long list OF
articles found to be adutterated, among
them the following: Dairy products are
adultered by the Introduction OF ami
mai fat, tallow. neutral oils, lard, water
and salt. Coffee is frequently adulterated
with chicory, beans, dandelton or rye,
and when. green is often treated with
coloring material known tobe deleterous.
An imitation being made Of dough is the
latest fraud in this commodity. The
essences we well know to be in many
cases frightfuI compounds. Lard Is
adulterated by the Introduction Of terra
alba, vegetable oils, and water. The re-
port closes with the recommendation OF
ithe committee fayoring a National law,
and advising the preparation Of q State
law to be submitted to the Legislature
in 1885.

THE TALE THE WE'LL TOLD.

Recovery of Mrs. Cooks Body at MattooSs
Illinoise, Bearing Evidence of % Horrible
Murdsr--The CoConer's Inquest and VePs
diet.
NATION, liz, June n.
After forty hours working of the steam
pumps the abandoned well supposed to
contain the body of the murdered Mrs.
Cook was drained to the bottom, when
previous suspicious were proved correct,
as the body of Mrs. Cook was found
weighted down with about 100 pounds
of iron. Examination showed
her throat cut from ear to ear
and heavy bruise ON the head. Her
clothes were torn and body scratched by
graphing hooks. Fully 1000 people fol-
lowed the body to the City Hall, where
the inquest is now being held. The jail
containing the alleged murderer Is in the
same yard. There is some talk of lynch
ing, but the officers are confident that
they can control the crowd. The well
is to be searched for further bodies.
Some think that the well has been used
for hiding place for other crimes than
appeared mysteriously from Gays, six
miles west of here about three
weeks ago, and his friends are
afraid he has been foully dealt with, as
there is no explanation why he should
;go away. There was no trouble in his
business affairs or at his home.
The Coroner's Jury rendered a verdict
charging Daniel Cook with the murder OF
his wife, Sarah Cook. Up to this hour
there have been no demonstrations OF
mob law, although the police report that
this afternoon the coiored miners,
before coming up from the coal mine,
took an oath to take Cook out of the jail
before morning, not to lynch him, but t.
rescue him from the clutches of the law
He has been turned over to the County
Sheriff and will be taken to Charleston
gail ut enc O'Clock, where he will keeE
company with WinklebIack, the alleged
murderer of the FleetWoods.
