there are no less than IL 900 actors
out of employment, and that 1000
are in destitute circumstances
Owing to the hard times the number
of companies on the road this year
is much smaller than usual, and
those who are lucky enough to
have engagements are working for
a remuneration that they would not
have looked at year ago. AS a
result of the fact that the outlook
is not likely to become brighter dur
ing the present season many mem.
bers of the profession have tenn.
porarily forsaken their ealing and
are now engaged in mercantile and
other pursuits less affected by the
hard times.

LONDON, Dec. 28.-(Speoial
cable) Strained relations In the
emplre..of Japan have materiaized
within the last forty. eight hours,
and are affo,ding no little conce
to MIR. Gladstone and his ministry.
Six years ago the conservative IL.
mlnlstration acceded to the request
of the Japanese government that a
naval officer Of distinction should
be assigned to duty in behalf of
that government as special naval
adviser. Captain Ingles, of the
Royal Marines, was selected as the
best man in the United Kingdom
to fill the requirements of the posi-.
ton. The six years expired on
today, and the British government
has refused to extend the term,
the ground that special privileges
of the character in question are
calculated to create d ssalisfacti n
and ill.will in the ranks of the
British navy. On the first of the
current month Captain Ingles re-
ceived official notification concern
ing the fact that be would be re-.
qulred to return to his command in
one month, aud that in the event
of default his connection with the
British army service would be re
garded as severed. Captain IngIes,
true to his old time faithfulness AND
J oyalty, has backed down before
be alternative and will in a few
days arrive in the city. II is under
stood that he will not be assigned
to active duty until spring. The
lack of courtesy manifested toward
the Japanese government Is being
very strongly discussed in diploma
tic and parliamentary Cir
cles, and the general opinion
is expressed that an estrangemen
between the two empires is likely
to be on the tapis.

SPURIOUS COEI..llEE.
Almost Impossible to Detect
the AdulteratiOns.
Government Experts Make In
vestigations.

OF Thirty Samples Purchased Twenty.
Six Were Adulterated, and some Con-
tained No Coffee at AIl-Even the Boz
gus Bean is Hard to Pick Out Whether
Green or Roasted.
WASHINGTON, April 25-The experts
Of the agricultural department recently
had their attention turned to the sub.
ject of artificial and adulterated coffee.
Ascientifc investigation has been made
under the direction of Professor H.
w. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart
ment, with astonishing results.
Thirty samples from as many differ
ent stores was obtained of what the
dealers declared to be pure coffee. OF
these 28 samples, or SO 2-3 per cent
were adulterated, or If there is in
cluded q sample containing no coffee at
all, this percentage is increased to co.
In 10 samples the purchaser obtained
half or less half the coffee he paid for.
The retail price of this bogus coffee
was equal to that asked for the pure
article. A sample purchased from
leading grocer as Rio for 25 cents
pound, contained no coffee at all.
Another purchased as Mocha and Java
at 25 cents pound, was adulterated rs
per cent. The worst adulteration was
shown in ground coffee, but three
samples Of roasted whole coffee pur-
chased by them proving to be mixed
with imitation coffees.
Alexander J. Wedderman, special
agent of the department Of agriculture,
reports that the artificial coffee bean is
identical in appearance with genuine
green or roasted coffee. It Is almost
impossible to detect the fraud with the
eye. 1t is nodded by machinery in the
same manner as druggists pills. Hav-
ing little Or no taste, OF odor, its only
mission is to increase the bulk and
weight Of the genuine article. It was
originally Of German manufacture, but
has lately been made in large quanti-
ties in New York, Philadelphia, Jersey
City and elsewhere. The sale of the
bean has been tremendous.
