MARY HOWE'S PLANS.

A very interesting letter in a recent
number of the Hartford Courant
gives the following about Mary
Howe: Miss Mary Howe, who has
raised New England to a higher pitch
of enthusiasm than any other singer
of recent years, is at her fathers
home at Brattleboro. Miss Howe's
splendid success at Washington, at
Springfield, at Worcester, with the
Apollo club at Boston last May,
when she made her debut before as
critical an audience as could be gath
cred in the United States, need only
to be mentioned-they are still fresh
in the public mind. Her debut in
Berlin two years ago was in the ma
ture of an ovation. Since then she
has been completing her education in
Paris under direction of Nine. Mar
chest.
What can l do" she said, that
will convince my friends that a salts
factory musical career requires de-
velopment, and that development is
the work of time | want to assure
them that they shall hear me, if not
in exactly the way they would choose
themselves" Miss Howe then inter
estedly spoke of her plans for the flu
ture, which are of special interest as
they have not been previously an
nOunced. She said: Il am under a
well-known New York manager now,
who will have competent manage
ment of my affairs the coming sea

and shall appear IT all the large cities
of the United States. My brother,
Lucien, will accompany me as he has
always done, but my manager will
make all the engagements, etc.

in yet, but of course | shall appear in
New York, Chicago and ST. Louis.

here and there may be seen the half

the Superstructures remains. Huge
powders are scattered over the bar

rotting tree stump, which floated for
miles on the escaping waters of Lake

THE pURE-FooD BILL.

Points from the Report on the Measure AZ
Prepared by the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 16-In report pre-
sented to-day. to accompany the pure-food
bill, reported from the Senate committee on
agriculture and forest y. last week. Chair
man Paddock says: Both houses of Con-
gress have been deluged with petitions
from the farmers organizations during the
present session. praying for legislation
which will compel the manufacturers Of
hog products to conform to the laws of COM
mercial honesty. They complain, and just
ly, that the sale of compounded products,
under the name of the genuine artice, is de-
stroying O remunerative market for their
hogs. by displacing millions of pounds of
pure lard with articles of a cheaper quality
sold under the same name. While eminent
chemists are not agreed that the lard COM
pounds are deleterlous TO health, there can
be no dissent from the view that such ar.
ticles should be sold under their rightful
names, and marketed as compounds, and
not the simple products which they sim
ulate. The farmers of the country who see
their products lessened in value every year
by millions through sophistica6ion aud
misbranding and their tables assailed in
turn with fraudulent manufactured food
products, have every reason to complain
that they are robbed at every turn of the
wheel ~

An Appropriation for Repairing It Defeat

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 16.-There is to be no
appropriation made for rebuilding or re-
pairing the Indianapolis Arsenal, unless,
possibly. the Senate committee on appropri-
ations makes the provision. The House
committee refused on grounds of economy.
and the efforts of Mr.. Bynum to get an
amendment adopted when the sundry civil
appropriations bill was before the House
failed. Messrs. Owen and Cheadle. and two
OF three members of the committee on appro-
priations, voted for the amendment, but
still it lacked several votes of having Q
majority.
1t is stated that General Benet, chief or
ordnance. advised against rebuilding or re-
pairing the indianapolis Arsenal, saying
the buildings were old and useless; that
there was no need for that arsenal, and, be-
sides, it made him q good deal of trouble
and annoyance. The House committee ap-
pears to have acted on General Benet's ad-
vice. The House committee on appropria-
tions was asked by Major Comfy to make
an appropriation of $4,000. and the request
was indorsed by the Secretary of War. but
the House committee preferred the advice
of General Benet.

Inquiries from Supervisors and Replies Of

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. June 16.-Superintendent
Porter is sreceiving some humorous and
perplexing telegraphic inquiries from su-
pervisors of the census. One wired to-day
that the returns from large city in his
district made the population fall 40 per
cent. less than he had estimated. and he
wanted to know what to do. Mr.. Porter is
in no way responsible for the estimates of
the supervisor, and so stated. He thinks
it very unwise for the census officers to
make estimates or speculations, as such
work is almost sure to result in disap-
pointment and trouble. and is in no way
the legitimate function of officers. Mr..
Porter says he is giving the enumerators
all the time possible to complete their
work. but that the full limit of fourteen
working days will close with tomorrow
1t is expected that the returns will begin
TO arrive by the middle of the week, and
then it Will be known which are the cities
