The $4,000 appropriated for capitol
improvements is going to be disposed of
in short order. The corridors of the
state house that so resemble, in their
misleading qualities, the maze at
Hampton court, are to be paved with
$1,000 worth of white marble tiling.
The old wooden steps leading up to the
four entrances are to be torn away. and
massive granite ones substituted, with
retaining walls of the same material.
Thomas Fitzpatrick has secured the
contract for the work, also that for til
ing the four approaches to the capitol,
which are now covered by board walks,
Gov. Merriam was absent yesterday
afternoon, and Secretary Bixby did not
care to state what the contract figures
were. 1t was learned. however, that
including the architects bill, the price
of the material and work, the price
of the improvements contra cted for is
within hundred of $4,000. a sug-
gestion made by well known habitue
OF the capitol yesterday might, if adopt
ed, simplify the problem as to which of
the four corners the governors office is
ina problem, by the way, which makes
even people who have walked round
the halls every day for months pause
and consider. This gentleman proposed
to put down marble tiles of different
color in each corridor, so that visitors
could in short time learn to diStin-
guish by the color of the floor where the
particular office they are seeking is
located.

OUR FOOD AND DRINK.
A Rigid enforcement Of the Law
to Prevent AduIteration.

A Rigid Enforcement Of the Law
to Prevent Adulteration.
Preparations are being made by the
state dairy and food department for the
rigid enforcement of the law prohibiting
the artificial coloring of yinegars when
the extension of time granted until
Ang. l. to permit innocent purchasers
to dispose of their stock has expired.
There is evidence that although the
decision of the commissioners to grant
this concession only applied to those
who bought or contracted for the inter-
dieted grade of goods prior to the pass
age of the act. manufacturers in certain
parts of the state have continued to put
up vinegar artifieially colored, in antici-
patton of being able to evade the law.
The activity of the inspectors now out
in the state on behalf of the department
is making it well nigh impossible for
manufactures to dispose of the unlaw-
ful mixture, except at great risk. As
sistant Commissioner Lawrence ex-
amined $50 samples of vinegar
yesterday, and found thirty-three
of them deficient under the law. The
work of the dairy and food department
for the present month has been extens-
i've in the shape of analysis of cheese,
nearly two hundred samples of butter.
not one case of adulteration was found.
The condition of the cheese manufacture
ing industry is flattering to the state,
and to Minnesota producers. Out of 1
sixty-two samples picked up all over
the state, only three were below the |
lawful standard, and these, on investi- |
CATION, were found to be of Wisconsin !
manufacture. Lard is also generally !
found to be n first-class article, not
trace of cottonseed oil Or any kindred !
impurity being discernable in the
samples. This shows a very different !
state of affairs from that in existence
two years ago. when most lard samples |
betrayed the presence of 50 per cent of |
foreign substance. During the past |
thirty days Inspectors p. w. Wildt, 81. |
Hochmeyer and j. B. Wilson have been |
through Goodhue, Dakota, Wabasha, |
Winona, Houston, Fillmore, Benton, |
Stearns. and Wright counties, each TAX |
ing separate route, and descending OH |
the dealers aud manufacturers for |
samples of their wares. The quarterly |
report of the department, to be issued !!
shortly, will show a remarkable degree /
of efficiency in its handling. and a salu-
tary result in the increased purity of |
food products.

The Question to Be Tested Before

The Question to Be Tested Before
the United States Supreme
Court
The Afro-American league of this
state is about to undertake prosecu-
tion to test the validity of the Tennes-
see statute requiring railroads to pro-
vide separate coaches for white and
colored passengers, one of its members
having been compelled to leave Pull
man car and go into the separate col
ored coach. Frederick McGhee, st.
PauFS colOred lawyer, and attorney for
the league, has given the matter care
ful study, and, despite the fact that
the United States supreme court has
declared similar statute of Mississippi
constitutional yet, as the question in
to require railroad companies to pro-
vide separate coaches, he is confident
that the supreme court will hold that
state has no power to separate inter-
state passengers or abridge their privi-
legeS or rights. r. E. Anderson has
started fund for the purpose of hav-
ing the attorney demonstrate the
SoundneSs OF his opinion, and Lawyer
McGhee has had the executive commit
tee Of the league call meeting OF the
citizens Of Minneapolis and st. Paul
Wednesday evening next 10 subscribe
to the fund. There is some disposition
to petition the president of the national
league to change the national conyen-
tion from Tennessee, but it is not fa-
vored by Vice President Wade and the
attorney and it is likely that no such
action will be had.

RED ROCK BOOMING.
The Camp Rapidly Filling Up 10y
New Arrivals.

New Arrivals.
The second day of the Red Rock
camp meeting only confirmed the state
ments of the prophets that this would
be the largest meeting held for several
years. Every train brings its eompli-
ment OF campers. and what few days
ago was almost wilderness, is now
blooming into a pretty and f1ourishing
village. wherever the visitor casts his
eye the scene is delightful and exhiiirat-
ing. If it happens not to be the time
Tor one OF the many meetings, he will
see the young people enjoy themselves
throughout the grounds in innocent
ainuSements. At such times the camp
has rather the appearance of jolly fes-
tlval than the dull and gloomy show
that might be expected at a religious
meeting. Everywhere, too, all are
busted setting their things to rights.
As new arrivals flock in, tents have to
be set up or cottages prepared for their
reception. About one hundred arrivals
Yesterday took up their quarters OH the
old camp ground. Miss Mollle Ellis, of
st. Cloud. who will have charge of the
children's meetings, is preparing for
her share OF the work. Rev. DIR. KY
nett, OF Philadelphia, secretary of the
board of church extension, has come.
and Will present the claims of the board
on Monday. With him came Rev. Dr.
Spencer. Mrs. Amanda Smith, the
celebrated colored evangelist, will help
to make the Sunday meetings interest
ing and of value. Rev. DR.. C. B. Will
cox Will also speak on Sunday.
An excellent choir is being organized
under the charge of Prof. Raymond,
who has been allowed the use of a piano
ana an organ by Messrs. Dyer Bros. and
Howard u Farwell.
Yesterdays meeting was fair ex-
ample of what may be expected during
the remainder of the session, as the di-
rectors will rely entirely upon their own
material. There was Bible reading at
O'Clock, which was followed by a SER
mon on The New Pentecost'' by DIR.
BraZee! In the afternoon there was a
conference and prayer meeting On the
subject of ''The Baptism of the Holy
Ghost" Rev. Higgins preached in the
evening. and the exercises were closed
with a prayer meeting led by DIR.
BraZee. Every afternoon there will be
young peoples meeting at the chapel
under the charge of Prof. Innis, of
Hamline. The children's meetings will
be held at 8 O'Clock each morning.
Among the arrivals Yesterday were:
George Welch. Redwood; Stiles Ray
monk. l.. A. Maynard, F. b. Mcdonald,
Susie S. Pratt. Mrs. A. G. Jones, NJ. w.
Sewell, a. Ii. Rose, David Brook, d. D.

q. ii. Pennington, Alton; Miss MilIie
Elwell, Robert Shennon, Hamline; Rev.
ID. 5. Davis, Superior; Rev. nj. John
son, Blaine, Wash.
One of the chief diversions yesterday
was the pleasure of going about and
Old acquaintance. None
were more active III this than David
Brooks, of Minneapolis, who is regarded
as the patriarchof the camp.

THE CITY BAsTILE.
Vhe Present Site Must Be Vacated
and New Quarters Are Can


The joint special committees ap-
pointed by the common council to Sc
lect suitable site for the new police
headquarters have knotty problem to
solve, and yesterday met at the city hall
for the purpose of talking over matters
and inspecting sites. A tour of inspec-
ton was made, and the market house.
the oid engine house on st. Peter street,
the postoffice building and some prop
erty on West Third street, near Hill
street, visited. The only place
which met the approval of the commit
tee was the building on West Third
street. which is owned by Aid. Cullen.
An offer was made to the committee by
gentleman owning large lot Oh West
Sixth street, near Washington, to erect
in sixty days suitable building and
lease the same to the city. and to charge
per cent interest upon the value OF the
lot, giving the city the option of pur-
chase. This offer did not meet with the
approval of the aldermen and the as
semblymen. The present premises
of the water board were also
looked over, but the water board are
! not desirous of being shifted, and claim
/ that the city has no power to move them.
This matter was referred to the city at
| torney for his opinion.
Assemblyman Banholzer and Aid.
| Conley were appointed chairmen of
! their respective committees, and re-
| quosted to get figures showing how
much rental was required by the owners
of the buildings inspected, and secure
estimates of the expense of putting the
| places in suitable condition. Assem-
blyman BanholZer in speaking OF the
matter said that he did not know just
what could be done. There WAS no
money available to purchase any land
| or put up building, and he had, on in
quiry, found that it would cost about
$4,000 to fit up a place, and then the
! rent would have to be paid. He blamed
the legislature for ignoring the matter
| Of erecting new police headquarters.
Something, however, had to be done,
for the present police headquarters baye
to be vacated.
The committee will meet again in the
course of few days, and hear the re-
ports of the chairmen.
