is pity that the man who, in his

practiced these noble principles
should have lost courage when he

which he drew these conclusions
should have supported him through

The downfall of Erastus Wiman-

The downfall of Erastus Wiman-
which on an eX-parte statement seems
surely to impend-is to be regretted
sorely from whatever standpoint
viewed. This brilliant Canadian
seemed but few months ago to have
realized the ideal American career
He began life at the printers case
and raised himself by sheer merit of
his own brilliancy and address I'M
til he was one of the most attractive,
If not commanding, figures on the
continent He was until lately ac-
counted also one Of the wealthiest
men and his hand was felt in some
of the largest enterprises. Unlike
most of our men Of business, he
found time for enterprises Of larger
import In his way he was the most
conspicuous advocate of commercial
union between the United States and
Canada, and whatever may be thought

no doubt that he contributed greatly
to the public understanding of a
question whose Importance grows
year by year. All of his enterprises
and all his views were on the same
broad scale. At one time he serious
ly proposed to quarter the superfluous
population of New York on beautiful
Staten Island, Of which he then
seemed to own controlling interest.
1t would appear that his faults have
been on the same astounding scale.
He stands charged with robbing his
business partner of nearly $3.50, 900,
the money, presumably, having been
used to bolster up his multifarious
schemes. Should the charge be es-
tablished we shall have to mourn the
ruin of great career and the dis
grace of a man to whom many had
given their undivided respect. Such
downfall is calamity to two ma
tions.

How Milk Is Anaxzed.

The chemical analysis of milk IS
not complicated or difficult, says a
writer ia the Dairy. A small dish is
accurately weighed, the weight noted.
Into it is now introduced small por-
tion Of milk, and both are again
weighed by substractlng the weight
OF the dish from the weight OF both,
the weight of the milk is found and
carefully recorded, The dish is placed
over steam Jet, and the water of
the milk evaporates, leaving a resi-
due. 1t is this residue which passes
under the name of solids" A last
weighing of the dish with the milk
residue, less the weight of the dish,
gives the solids, and by a single cal
culation the percentage is found.
The solids OF milk have been found
by innumerable analyses to average
about l3 per cent and, while the fat
varies in the milk from different
COWS, the solids left after extracting
the fat is very constant quantity,
hardly ever falling below per cent.
This gives the chemist a positive
basis for his calculations and enables
him to state with great certainty
whether or not the milk has been
watered. The fat or oil in milk is
determined by dissolving it, by means
Of ether, out Of the total solids, the
residue remaining after the Opera
'tion being termed Solids, not fat"
The average fat or oil found in cows
milk is 3 per cent, and any amount
less than this is commonly taken as
showing that the milk has been
SKINNED. If analysis shows de-
crease of fat and solids not lat it is
said to be certain that the milk has

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION: We can
imagine nothing more depressing to
the average criminal than a private
midnight execution conducted in
dead silence, with no excited crowd
of spectators to encourage him to
pose as a martyr OF a hero. The new
Indiana fashion is infinitely better
than the old way. Public executions
are brutalizing and they increase
crime. Private midnight executions
terrorize not only the prisoner, but
they cause the criminal masses to

doom so swift, silent and grim-a

The contracts are to be made for the
