Correspondents of THE EVENING stan.
GRANGE CAMP, Aug. 20.
This IL the biggest day in point Of numbers
of the fair, and the best in results and the last
The number Of people were largely in excess
over any previous day. There were today
representatives Of all classes, grades and con-
ditions Of humanity dwelling in the region
round about; the aged and the adolescent of
the Caucasian and Ethiopian hue, male and
female, large and small, and evincing all the
traits and tastes pertaining to common human
ity hereabouts. The crowd to q thoughtful
and observant spectator was q sugges-
tive study. In not one proceeding were
all united by common interest, and
at no time were anything near all
the people drawn together by common desire
to see and hear. The attractive feature today
was the address and the dissection of the lungs
and udder OF a COW affected with tuberculosis
by DR.. Geo. G. Faville of the bureau Of animal
industry, Agricultural department The animal
was brought from some station in Maryland,
selected from herd Of twelve, and this one
was taken on account of the fact that the udder
was attacked as well as the lungs. Doctor
Faville wished to show to the audience that the
animals were often attacked with the disease in
different parts of the body and not always in
the lungs alone. The animal had been sick
about year and was brought on the grounds
alive that she might be seen alive. She was
killed and the lungs and udder removed to a
table on the stand and then dissected. In this
DIR. Faville was assisted by DIR. JAS F. RYDER of
the bureau. In his address he began by declar-
ing how greatly indebted the stock-owning
class was to veterinarian science for the dis
coveries it had made in relation to pleuro-pneu-
monla and kline tuberculosis. He referred to
the fearful consequences resulting to human
life where ignorance prevailed IN relation to
the nature OF this cattle dsease-tuberculosi
The succeeding salient points of the address are
briefly stated as follows: That the bacillus
found in kline tuberculosis were identical with
the baccillus found in cases of human tuber-
culosis; that the disease, it has been demon
strated, may be conveyed by infection from the
human to the animal system and from the
animal to the human system; that it may be
communicated to the human by the beef eaten
or the milk drunk of the animal. The usual
cooking of the beef prevents the communication
OF the disease by that means as often as it is
done by the milk. He gave figures showing
what large per cent of animals in and around
Baltimore In the stables and diaries had been
found affected with tuberculosis and how many
beeves In given number that had been
slaughtered by the butchers in that city had been
found affected with the disease. To protect the
people against the liability of infection by beef
and milk with tuberculosis it was necessary, he
said, to have compulsory examination of the
animals in all the stables in and the diaries
around our cities.
RELICS OF THE LAST CENTURY.
In the exhibition hall there are sundry old
heirlooms and relics on exhibition that have
a curious interest for visitors. The following
noticed in hasty look through the hall: A
pair Of wool cards one hundred and fifty years
old; rolls OF wool. yellowed by time. of one
hundred years ago; o silk vest and short
breeches worn in ITO, colonial times; a badge
seventy-fve years old; shoe buckles exhibited
by Miss Maggie Cant of Langley, over two hun
dred years old; a glass sugar bowl by Mrs.
Sarah Sewell. herself past ninety-fve years Of
age. one hundred and twenty five years old; q
cup and saucer by Mrs. Dollie Leeds one hun
dred and fifty years old; top of a tureen Of
very old style, brought from China by Mrs.
Fenwick; pair of brass candlesticks one hun
dred and fifty years old; glass salt dish eighty
years old; lance for bleeding horses used in
the Revolutionary war; neck ribbon worn in
1870. These articles, odd-looking things, show,
perhaps, how great has been the Improvement
In the form OF tie articles and of the taste dis
played by the makers of the articles in domestic
use since that olden time.
A survey of the implements used by the pro-
ducers and now offered to them by various
manufacturers shows how complete they are in
number and adaptabiIity to their uses. For
example take the implements employed in the
butter-making process. The Cooley make have
cooler, churn on a new principle, a worker.
