The commander of the st. Petersburg
police force has issued an order that all
Jewish stores and business houses should
have signs with the names, patronymics,
and families of the proprietors written in
large, snowy letters. The cause Of this
new order, which is the nearest approach
to medieval regulations by which the
patches on their garments, is that mer-
chants of the Hebrew faith do not write
their names plainly on their signs, in
order to avoid the too frequent intrusion
Of official extortionists and the prejudice
of the unreasonable masses.

President Harrison's friends here think
the editorial which lately appeared in
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, of which
Russell B. Harrison is proprietor, de-
claring Mr. Blaine to be ont of the race in
'02 was unwise in the extreme. Mr.. Blaine
himself is reported to be very indignant
at the patronizing tone of the editorial
in question, and resents the terms
'loyalty," 'fealty" and so on, which
were employed in the article.

Physicians of Washington Passes
Away at the Age of 20.
DR.. John Frederick May died at his resi-

day afternoon AT about o'clock He was
surrounded by his wife, his son, DR.. viii

ily The doctor had been i'll for several
weeks, an attack of grip having developed
into pneumonia, which. at his advanced
age could hardly have ended otherwise
than fatally.
DR.. May was perhaps the oldest resident
of Washington. He was born in this city
on May 10, 1912, and, though he has not
lived here continuously, he has spent prac-
tically the whole of his long life in the city
of his birth. He ewas from his early man
hood one of the most prominent citizens
of the Capital. Distinguished as a ply
sician, foremost in movements Of enter.
prise and development, leader in social
life, and gentleman of illustrious lineage
and elegant culture, Dr. May has, for
more than half century, been a con-
spicuous figure in Washington.

MEssEs. INGALLS,, HoAB, LODGE IL Co.,
who rejoice in agaudy and peculiar igpol-
ance of the conditions prevalent at the
South and who are so voluble in denun-
ciatlon of the tyrannical treatment of the
blacks by the whites, would derive great
deal of much-needed information by read
ing the full history of therecent Walhalla
riot in Mississippi. twill be remembered
that a negro named Maury was ne cen
tral figure of this episode. He had become
involved in difficulty with a white man,
had attacked and injured him. He fled
ami took refuge in cabin, where he was
pursued by crowd of white men who
intended, it is supposed, to lynch him.
The owl.er of the cabin defended it and,
IN doing so, shot and killed one of the
lynching party. He was indicted, tried
and found guilty of murder in the lower
courts, but the Supreme Court of Misss-
sippi reversed the decree and ordered the
man TO be set at liberty, announcing then,
as Southern courts have done hundred
times in the past, that the cabin of the
poorest negro in the State is as much and
as sacredly his castle, as is the proudest
residence the castle of the rich white pro-
prietor who inhabits it. Thus the incident
is closed and the court of last appeal in
Mississippi has declared that white men in
vading the premises of colored men with
out due warrant of law do 50 at their own
peril and must look for no vengeance at the
hands of the courts. If Messrs. INGALLS,,
HoAR, LODGE & Co. will persist in worry
ing themselves over a condition of things
at the South which exists only in their
imagination and for which they are not
responsible anyhow, they might as well
pick up stray fact occasionally.

OUR LATEST INFORMATION is to the effect
that ex-senator BLAIR is not particularly
stuck on China and would be perfectly
willing TO go to Japan instead. This dis
poses effectually of the rumor that Mr..
BLAIR had special missionary designs on
China, and leaves us free to assume that
the New Hampshire statesman had in
view nothing but an office and sphere
Of activity which the Granite State is not
yet large enough to furnish. No doubt
the change from China to Japan will be
made and will prove entirely satisfactory
TO Mr.. BLAIR. Lifein Toxic is far, far from
hard. There are good restaurants, pleas
ant clubs, pretty girls, agreeable dwellings
ard all the necessary adiuncts of lux
uriOus existence. The ex-senator can
fare sumptuously every day, smoke fine
cigars, drink the best of European wines,
play a lively game of poker and tlirt with
darE-eyed beauties in the market places.
IN fact, unless he be inclined to take
ultra severe views of the duties of his
position as an Extraordinary Envoy to
the Court of the Mikado, he can have a
rather giddy time. OF course if he sees
tit to 'scorn delights and live laborious
days" in the effort to reform Japan, he
can make things mighty tough for HIM
self and others but if he will be content
to sport with PITrrSING beneath the
shade and with the tangles of sweet YUM
YrM's hsir-if he will, in short, sink
business and go in for bowling time
the material for town-painting will be
about as plentiful in Toxic as in any
town lie has every struck. 1t all depends
on BLAIR.

WI WERE GLAD to observe ON yesterday
that our good neighbor, the Post, had

some days ago, moved by consideration
of the great perils to which these clerks
are exposed, and we welcome so power
ful and earnest a coadiutor rs the Post in
this good work. Surely no men in the
public service have larger claim upon
the consideration of the Government.
Their duties are complex and laborious,
their vigilance must be sleepless, and
their energy unbounded A high order
Of intelligence is demanded, to say moth
ing of judgment, sobriety and force of
character. The same qualities, applied in
the same faithful manner to the affairs of
private life, would bring in far greater re-
wards and lead much more quickly to ease
and competence. But this is not all.
The dangers which beset these men are
more numerous and more imminent
than those which surround the soldier or
the sailor. Whenever a railway accident

deed, it is always possible to the men in
the locomotive to escape by jumping,
for they can nearly always see
the danger in time; but this is seldom if
ever possible to the postal clerk. His car
is next the engine, it is closed at all points,
and lying between the ponderous engine
and the perhaps equally heavy Pullman
cars, it is almost invariably crushed like an
egg shell when a collision occurs. Some
thing should be done for the men of the
Railway Postal Service. They perform
work that is of the utmost value, and they
do it under circumstances of appalling
peril. The Government provides for the
dependent families of those who are
manned or killed in the military service
why not do likewise in the case of men
whose work is incessant and whose ex
posure to death and suffering is hourly
The Benefit Association gives but poor

A Ration of Cotton.eea Meal.

Henry Morse, of Delaware county, n.
Y. who has become wealthy by dairy
ing, says that he has fed cottonseed meal
to his cows for eight years, the first four
in connection with other grains and after
that pure, except while COWS were dry
and ON coarse fodder they were given
wheat bran and such grain as was pro-
duced on the farm. AS soon as the COWS
came in full milk they were given hay
twice q day and three quarts of cotton
seed meal in the morning and two quarts
at night The morning ration OF meal
was mixed with six quarts OF sweet
SKINNED milk.
When at pasture they received two
quarts Of the meal day. Following
this practice he was able to keep 25 per
cent. more cows and make 90 per cent.
more butter per COW than by any other
grain method. The manure from the
cows fed 80 heavily ON cotton seed meal
was very rich and gave about double the
crops of hay that other manures gave.
The pastures also show it, and the in
creased value OF the manure nearly pays
for the cotton seed meal.-New England

quently. The reason of it is now be-
keved to be the feeding of frozen fodder

dairy readers would experiment in this
matter and determine for certain whether
il Is frozen fodder that makes butter
hard to come in winter. Some claim
that dried fodder. frozen or unfrozen, is
the cause. The experiment might be
made by feeding the COWS for a week on
sther food than fodder. then seeing if
the butter came any sooner.

DAIRY AND CREAMERY.
ABsuRDiTY OF THE LAW DEFINING
A LEGAL CHEESE.

1hs Inv should Define What the Cheese
Itself Must Contain In Order to FIJI the
Legal Requirement.. Not the Constitu-
eoss OF the MIX That Makes It.
The absurdity of some of our dairy
laws can be seen by the practical eye
when directed to the one that says a
legal cheese is one made of milk that
has 3 per cent of fat in it. The pre-
sumption of the law is that if cheese
is made of such milk the resulting
cheese will have in it 80 per cent. fat, on
the theory that the process Of cheese
making eliminates nine-tenths of the
weight of the milk taken to make it.
While so much is true of such milk, it
by no means follows that more than
that does not go to the whey vat, and
that the excess over 90 per cent that
goes out in pure fat is lost through want
.of skill in the making. The buyer of a
cheese wants to get the quality he pays
much concerned about what is in the
milk if he does not get the best and
most valuable part of it in the cheese
The law should define a legal stan
,dard' cheese to be one that has 80 much

fines the legal standard for milk that Is

when it was mined.
We used to hear there was a time when
the English buyers of large shipments of
cheese to that country did not write ac-
eeptance of the consignment till after
samples of the same had been ''tried
out and found to contain the requisite
amount of fat TO fulfill the contract All
buyers of cheese should have that re-
course back on the seller, just the same
as he has now for short weights or bad
cheese esurreptitiously boxed and shipped.
In short, all should have what they pay
