with which each contributed $500

Nor were they the only victims of her

Broadway office closed long before
the Inauguration and no trace of her

days ago a Baltimore advertisement
induced detective to go there and
they easily found her.

Phil Armour Does Not Think it Will Hurt
Chicago Packing Houses.
CHICAGO, March 31.-The formation
of the packing house syndicate at
Forth Worth, Tex, will not affect the
packing house interests in Chicago.
1t may have tendency to take some
of the business away from Kansas
City houses but the effect will not be
felt here.
1t was this way that p. Armour
today replied to questions regarding
the Baston Packing House syndicate
that has recently made extensive in
vestments at Fort Worth. "The
plant is too far south to have much
bearing on Chicago" he continued
1.-THE base of our supply is too far
north to allow the Fort Worth estab'
Iishment to interfere with US. True
it is Kansas City houses may feel the
southern competition to some extent.

reason of his influence alleged to be
improperly used is not proper man
to be peace officer. The charges
were met with counter-statements on
the part of McAllister and his friends

who say they were only filed because
it was last resort to the effect, If
possible, his defeat, and that the men
making them have been a candidate
for the place to which he was APP
pointed. No sworn statement sub
mitted to committee.
BEnRING SEA COMMISSION.
Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle
have been looking into the expendi-
lures of the Behring sea commission,
and will not be surprised, If con-
clusion is reached, that some of the
allowances are eXtravagant and
should be discontinued. 1t appears
that everybody connected with the
commission, from stenographers
down, has been given very liberal
allowances, which the officials of this
administration have included under
the head OF useless extravaganza.
There are, it is said, eight OF ten of
ficials connected with the commission
who are receiving more than double
pay by drawing So to $l5 per day
In addition to regular salaries
(Which range from $500 to $500 per
aunum. One OF the witnesses it is
stated, has been allowed SIS day as
an expert and another witness some
thing like that amount for services
which cannot be expected for the
reason that the witness had no expert
knowledge Of the subjects to be cen
sidered. The arbitrators number, OF
all ranks and occupations, fifteen per-
sons, including two stenographers,

appropriated for the purpose.

A Climate That Beats the World Fo
Health Resorts.


Health Resorts.
In an article written for the Cali
fornian Lieutenant John p. Finley,
of tho United States Weather
Bureau, makes the following state
mcnt "Theoretlcally, California
should furnish the bept and the
most varied health resorts and sani-
tariums in the United States.
Within her borders almost every
form OF wasting disease should find
the means Of temporary, il not por-
manent relief"
This theoretical statement, from
All unbiased scientific standpoint,
is fully and abundantly confirmed
by actual experiences. The cool and
bracing coast climate, devoid OF any
trace OF malaria, extends from tho
northern part OF the State to tho
extreme south. There Is the choice
between this cool, humid atmos-
phere and the dry, warm atmos-
phere OF the inland valleys.
In the matter Of altitude there is
a yet greater difference. From
Palm Valley, 800 feet below sea
level, to the upper Sierras, 1000 or
5000 above, any altitude can bo
selected, and comfortable homes DO
founded.
The popularity of an almost rain
less simmer, during which tho
injurious germs of animal ard yege.
table decay arc destroyed by thor
ough desIccstion, is one OF the strik-
ing features Of California climate.
During the rainy season it is
usually too cool to facilitate fer
mentation, and tho result is, except
along some Of the river valleys, an
absolutely pure atmosphere. The
ocean winds entering through tho
several coast openings, are tempered
by the intermediate area passed
over, and often receive desirable
healing properties by taking up the
resinOu5 odors Of the pines and ieds
woods OF the Coast Range.
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting
locality where climate and environ.
