TALKS OF FLORENCE.
How Joe Jefferson Feels the Loss
of His Friend


of His Friend.
Joseph Jefferson feels keenly the loss
of his business partner and old friend,
". j. Florence. He does not talk much
about it, but what he says has the ring
of genuine sorrow in it. He and his
company arrived in Minneapolis yester-
day morning. Mr.. Jefferson is BEGIN
ming to look old, bat his eye is as bright
as ever. and possesses the same merry
twinkle that is feature of his comedy
work on the stage. While speaking Of
the loss of his friend Florence. he said:
"Of course it was shock TO me to lose Mr..
Florence. His loss meant more to me than
the mere separating by death of business or
company relations. Why, we have known
each other for half a century. We have been
to school together and been playmates in
youth; hshed in the same treams and hunted
IN the same woods Later on we we're still
friends and played together. This company
we had formed was most happy thing for
both of us, for it was but the bOyish friend
ship. rlpened into age. Tie was q most j0vial
companion. loving friend, and the most hon
orable man in business matters. The stage
has lost one of It's brightest ornaments
Mr.. Jefferson says that the death of
MIR. Florence will not prevent him from
carrying out his full contract tour. He
has secured Louis James 10 play the
roles that were taken by MT. Florence,
and he thinks that Mr.. James is the
only man in the country that could take
the place OF the departed actor. Mr..
jefferson boldly states that he has the
best English-Speaking comedy company

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT.
What May Come to the America
Building and LoanAsSociation.


1t becomes more apparent every day
that the internal disorders of the Amer
lean Building and Loan association
need sedative. They may get it, too,
in way that will not be relished. The
bank examiner of the state has the af-
fairs of the association under considera-
ton now. 1t is possible that there may
be change of management. On this
point the Building and Loan Herald,
published in Minneapolis, says:
Matters in the American. of Minneapolis,
are assuming more tempestuOuS condition,
but with some assurance Of a speedy settle
ment. A great many inquiries have been re-
ceived al the Herald Office relative TO the
American within the past few months.
The office of the public examiner of ST. Paul
has been flooded with complaints. We have
answered scores of personal letters. but can
lot say anything in print just at present. for
various reasons. One of these is that an in
tellgent Discussion of the complications
that have arisen requires careful inYestga-
ton and preparation. Another is that the
bank examiner now has the matter in hand.
and an early change of management is likely
TO take place. The company can carry out
It's contracts under proper administration
OF its business.
1t is said further that the Bishops are
trying to GUST c. Wright Dawson from
the office of vice president which he still
holds. They are said to have a man
picked out who will suit them better
than he does. 1t is also claimed that
Freeman p. Lane, the attorney for the
association, comes into this fight. he
has candidate for vice president, but
he is not the man wanted by the Bishops.
That may lead to the discharge of Lane
as the attorney. But he will stay ayear
yet, anyhow, under his contract. Should
Lane be dropped, Byron Sutherland is
the most likely man for successor. He
refuses to discuss that contingency, re-
ferring all Questioners to the Bishops.

Diseased Beef and MIX.

II has been known 20 the medical pro-
fession for several years that tuberculosis
could be communicated to man by means
of infected beef or milk, but practically
nothing has been done in the way OF pro-
tecting the people against this danger.
The recent discoveries OF Prof. Koch
concerning the prevalence OF tubercular
diseases have aroused considerable interest
in this question, which will probably re-
suit in some action looking TO the pro-
lection Of people exposed to this danger
by their necessary food supplies Scores
of dairy herds contain COWS affected with
tuberculosis, and not only is the flesh OF
such animals totally unfit for food, but
even their milk is unsafe to feed 10 swine
or poultry.
The vast majority OF people who live In
our larger cities secure their milk from
wagons that call at their houses, or from
groceries or diaries in the neighborhood,
without the slightest idea where the milk
comes from or any knowledge as to its
purity or healthy condition. The subject
Of chalk and water in milk has been the
Jest Of the paragapher for years, and the
effort has been mainly to secure the arti-
Gle that has the least OF the cerulean hue
without regard to its other and more inn
portant qualities. Few people have
thought of this vast possibility of sowing
the seeds OF a deadly disease by this simple
fluid which they have been accustomed to
drink in one shape or another from their
earliest infancy.
IL has been shown that the milk glands
of COWS are affected by diseases OF their
lungs, and in these cases the milk may
contain living germs capable OF causing
the disease In human beings. The only
way that this infection can be avoided is
by strict and rigid inspection of every
COW, and especially of those in herds
whose milk is delivered 20 people that
have no knowledge of the animals from
which Il cesne.
Massachusetts, has been active in this
work and number of herds in the vicin-
ify OF Boston have been inspected by the

officials show that during two years 243

SECRETARY Windows Death.

Secretary WINDoM's sudden death
at the banquet table at DELMoNIco's

sensation throughout the country.

HOW 1T rs FORMED.
The state Board Of Agriculture Claimed Not
90 BE Self. Perpetnntinr.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: The various bills
presented 10 the legislature for the pur-
pose of annihilating the Indiana state
board OF agriculture seem 20 all have
originated upon the theory that the board,
as at present constituted. is self perpetual
ing. This is far from the truth. Each
county and district agricultural society in
the state is entitled 20 send a delegate TO
the delegate board each year. The
state Is divided into sixteen districts, and
these delegates vote for a member from
each district, one-half of the members Of
the board being elected every two years.
There aro many thousand members OF
these various agricultural societies in the
state, and they each have their vote for a
member OF the delegate board. who IN
tnrn votes for the members OF the state
board. AZ the last election there were
three new members elected, while five
of the old members were thought 90 be
worthy al reelection.
House bill 200 seeks 20 disfranchisc all
OF these members of agricultural societies
and instead of having the patronage dis
tributed into sixteen districts, evenly
divided throughout the state, 10 center
the whole power in the hands OF the few
persors who come up 90 Indianapolis UNI

associations Of kindred nature, not leaV-
inc out the indianapolis board of trade or

lumbia club is left out is not mentioned.
Nor why South Bend. with her great man
ufactories. should be left out Nor why
the Holstein or the Hereford breeders
are not given an equal show with the
shorthorn breeders or the jersey breed
ems.
Another bill seeks 10 take the whole
matter out of the hands OF the farming
community and throw il into the hands
of the politicians.
Will the farmers of the Legislature do
this? II they do, will they ever be able
TO explain away the insult thus offered to
their farmer constituents?

4 Terrible Massacre by the Natives of the
Caroline Islands

SAN FBANcIsCo, Jan. 3l.-Advices from
Singapore report the arrival at Manila OF
the Spanish steamer Don Juan, with news
of another terrible massacre Of Spanish
troops and residents in the Caroline
Islands. II appears that the natives
without warning fell on the Spanish
garrison, killing some ninety soldiers
and civilians. The Spaniards thereupon
attacked the native fort. 1t Is said that

fought with singular bravery, but were
eventually driven into the jungle. The
loss on the native side is said to have been
very large, but the Spanish commander
was so mortified with his own losses that

Tho squandering of the Surplus.

Senator CARLISLE contributes timely
paper TO the February Forum, in which he
shows how tho Harrison administration
has wiped out the surplus and brought
the treasury face TO face with deficit.
The deficit will be very large one unless
money is borrowed and new debts con-
tracted, which will require more taxes to
meet. Senator CARLISLE presents the
official figures, which show that, on
March 4, 1889, when HARRISON became
president, the cash balance in the treas
ury. which was surplus, amounted to
Sl50,0O0,000. At the end of this fiscal
year. June so, 1891. there will be a deficit
OF Sl400O,000, and at the end OF the next
fiscal year, June 80, 1892. deficit OF
$S4,0O0,O0O.
This is the inevitable record OF this re-
publican administration, because the leg
isation that has already been enacted
prevents the decrease of expenditure.
There can now be no turning back.
The increase OF the expenditures OF the
national government has been very much
more rapid than the increase OF popula-
ton. The following parallel tells the
story of republican extravaganza in spite
OF republican promise and prediction:
