There are some grocers in the coun-
try who sell stale, unpalatable crack
ers because they can get them cheap
and make big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and by and by, when their
cracker trade is all gone, and they
don't sell box in a week, they look
surprised and say: Funny how peo-
pies tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any more"

EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS.

Everybody eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
terest. There was time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation to a delicate
stomach. That time has passed. 1t
was a good many years ago. The
crackers of the present generation are
as different as day from night. There
are good crackers and bad crackers /;
fresh crackers and stale crackers; and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.

The American Biscuit Co.

has manufacturing capacity of.SOO
barrels of flour daily. This enormous
quantity it makes into greater va
fiety of goods than any other bakery
in the United States of America, and
yet is scarcely able to fill its orders.
1t is turning out more crackers to-day
than it ever did before, and the trade
is still growing. Why is it? 1t is
simple enough. Their crackers. are
the best that are made. People who
try them invariably want them again
and the grocer who sells them always
finds that they not only prove a good
source OF revenue to him, but make
his store popular with the people.

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
TO REGULATE THE PRACTICE OF MEp1c,s,

TO REGULATE THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Another bill regulating the practice of medi-
cine in the District has been introduced in the
House. This time NJ Baker On. Y.) fathers the
measure, which provides the rather novel
feature of three separate boards of medical ex-
aminers-one representing the Medical Society.
one the Homeopathic Society and one the Eclectic
Medical Society. Each board is to consist of five
members, appointed by the Commissioners for
terms OF four years from lists OF nominees to
be submitted by the different societies. The
lists OF nominees not to exceed twice the num-
Der OF appointments to be made. The boards
are to examine applicants who wish to practice
medicine and an examination fee of sos is pro-
vlded for. The bill states that it does not inter-
fere with army, navnl. or marine officers or
with regular practitioners called here in consul
taton. Midwives are also by the bill to secure
certificates, their fee being $50.
IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS AS TO THE CANAL
The House District committee after the hear
ing on the combined bill of the Norfolk and
Western and Washington and Cumberland road
on Saturday considered the bill in executive
session, and. while no final decision was reached
and the bill will be further considered this
week. number of important amendments
were agreed to. In regard to the Norfolk and
Western plan there seemed to be little objec-
ton. The sections in regard to the Washington
and Cumberland road, however, were amended
considerably and practically as the line
asked by the trustees and promoters of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The
amendments agreed upon would seem to fur
nish full protection for the canal and assure
its continuation as a waterway. The bill al
lowed the road to condemn the title. property,
waterway, and. in short, everything belonging
to the canal in the District. The amendmeats
allow only the acquisition Of SO much land as
may be necessary for the transactions OF the
road. and it is still further provided that the
road shall not in any way Interfere with the
possession and working Of the canal by the
trustees OF the bondholders of the canal, their
successors or assigns, while working under the
order of District or Maryland court or while
the canal is being operated under such order as
waterway.

DESCENDING sEcRerARr GIBSON.
An Effort win BE Made to Show . Con
spiracy.

eptrDcy.
A consultation between President Greenhut
Of the whisky trust. Director woolner of Peoria,
Director McNulty and other officials was held
in Chicago Saturday in regard to sensational
developments in connection with the alleged
dynamite conspiracy of Secretary Gibson. MI.
Greenhut announced at the outset that Gibson
had resigned pending an investigation.
A preliminary plan Of defense was outlined
during the conference. 1t was proposed to
show that Gauger De War. who charged that
Gibson tried to hire him to blow up Shufeldfs
distiiisry. il a practical machinist, and could
have made the internal machine which he
alleged Gibson gave him. It was to be adj
United that Gibson was in communication with
De war Tor the purpose of obtaining reliable
information as to the output of Shufeidts, and
that, in case De War failed to send the informa-
uon, Gibson may have written to him on the
subject: that De War had an opportunity and
four hours Of time in which to tamper with
Gioson's vslise, after his arrest, before it was
put into vault. and that he might have substi-
tuted the bottle Of infammable stuff found in
II, later, IN the place OF a perfectly innocent
liquor; that De War had such a liquid in his
possession, and displayed it to government
ofhclals several weeks before the exposure: that
no such bottle as that containing the liquid was
In Gibson's valise when he was arrested: in
short, that Gibson may be the victim Of q con-
spiracy Of which the government officials are
dupes. As to the shares Of whisky trust stock
It Is to be shown that they are the property Of
Gibson's wife, and that be was merely taking
them to be deposited in q safe.
II has been decided to lay the case Of Gibson
before the state rather than the federal grand
Jury, as, under the state law it is possible to in
met more severe penalties than under the fed
eral law.
THINKING OF ESCAPE.
A Peoria dispatch says 1t is the general be-
lief here that Geo. ]. Gibson, secretary of the
whisky trust, is well on his way to Europe, and,
aided by plenty Of money, will escape. 1t was
found today that Gibson eight months ago pur-
chased fifty pounds of dynamite. About q
month ago he bought quantity of bisulphide
OF carbon and, phosphorous at a drug store.
He had learned the secret Of the compound
from chemist whom he frequently invited to
dine with him. At the National Hotel meals
are sent mp to Gibsons room, but it is not
known who eats them. Those in . position to
know say it is not Gibson.

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Its Great Growth Since the Time Of the Lat
Secretary Stuart.

Atb OIcst 0EOWtn Sinc6 the Time OF the Late
Secretary Stuart.
The Interior Department was closed TODAY at
II o'clock, by order OF Secretary Noble, as a
mark of respect to the memory of ex-Secretsry
Stuart Of Virginia, whose funeral WINS held this
afternoon. Mr.. Stuart was the third Secretary
Of the Interior Department. The first Secretary
was Mr.. Thomas Ewing Of Ohio, who was
appointed in 1S49, the year the department was
created. The next Secretary was Thos. II. T.
McKennan, who held the position for eleven
months, at the end Of which period he resigned
because, according to tradition, he had too
much mail matter to sign. Mr.. Stuart became
Secretary in September, 1850, and served
nearly three years. The contrast between
the department Of today and that Of
Mr.. Stuarts time is graphically repxesanted
by the following figures: For thecyestoolsSl
there was expended for printing aud -, }}{5iine
