Oleomargarine Dethroned in the United
Supreme Court.
We copy the following from HOard's
Dairyman.- THE United States supreme
court handed down an opinion last Mon
day affirming the constitutiOnality of
the Massachusetts law which fOrbids the
sale Of oleOmargarine in that state,
artifcially cOlored in imitation of yellow
butter. The opinion is by Justice Har-
lam with Justices Fuller, Field, and
Brewer dissenting. This ends the long
drawn-out legal contest between honest
dairy goods and fraudulent limitations
and most properly admits to the individ-
ual states the right and authority to pro
tect their citizens both as to their health
and purses from the manufacturers and
dealers in spurious and deceptive imita-
tiOns of dairy products and other foods.
1t is a just and wholesome decision and
all the people whether producers or con-
sumers are greatly indebted to the per-
sistence and zeal Of Massachusetts, and
her officials in defense Of pure and
wholesome foods,

A Note For Women.

Few women realize the great differ
ence there is in the quality of thread;
not only in its strengh but in its smooth
ness and uniformity" said sewing
machine man. TITS a fact, that about
half the faults blamed on a sewing
machine can be traced to poor thread.
Kinky cotton is likely to. break the need
les, throw the tension out and make the
machine cut up cranky in a dozen differ
ent ways. But the queer part of 1t all is
that good thread and poor thread cost the
same, and any woman can get the best
by simply asking for it. Some time ago
the leading sewing machine manufact-
urers determined to settle the thread
question once and for all. Separate
tests Of all spool cotton were made by
the Singer Machine Co., the Wheeler &
Wilson, the New Home, the Standard,
the Domestic, the White and the Davis,
and in every case the Willimantic Six
Cord Spool Cotton, better known as Will.
imantic Star Thread, proved superior tC
all Others" There is a suggestion in
this for every woman who uses machine
or sews by hand.

OBITUARY.

Died, at his late residence Dec. Is, 1894,
Shubael Smith, aged 70 years and 8
months. The subject Of this sketch was
one Of family Of eight children, all Of
whom are now dead except Mrs. Martin
Chapman, Of LOrain. He was born in
Monroe county, N. Y. His father died
when he was 10 years OF age, leaving
him the care OF the mother and younger
children. When he was 10 years of age
he came with the family, and made a
home in Spencer township, which was
then almost an unbrOken wilderness.
He came from there to Wellington in
1867, and remained there till his death.
He joined the Methodist church in his
14th year and for over 50 years contin-
u0usly has occupied official positions.
He was man OF great energy and
efficiency, never shirked duty ana never
failed to load himself with any and every
responsibility that others were unwilling
to take. A man Of few words, quiet, un-
pretentiOus, he was prominently a man
OF deeds. He was almost physical
giant and had standing reputation of
doing two days work in one. A man of
such energy, physical endurance, such a
genius for eXpedients, and ability to
bring things to pass, is seldom seen.
His first wife was sister Of the late
Joseph Gannett and died II years ago.
His widow was Mrs. Clara SOuthworth, of
Huron county, to whom he was married
10 years ago. He had no children. He
had been in poor health for the last 6
years and though most Of the time able
to be'On his feet, his sufferings have Of
ten been excruciating, quite sufficient
to undermine even such an iron c0nstitu-
tiOn as he possessed. Early Friday
morning he was taken with apOplexy, al
most Immediately became unconscious
and remained so until his death which
occurred Saturday evening.
He was a man of the strictest integrity
and honesty, true to himself and to God
He has made good fight; he has finished
a well-rOunded life; he has done his duty
as God gave him to see 1t; he had gOtteI
out of life all the pleasure, all the com
fort, all the happiness there was in it fol
him. Could there be more appropriate
time in which to die?
Say not Of thy friend departed,
He Is dead;' but he Is grown
Larger souled and deeper hearted,
Bl0ssoming into skies unknown.
All the air OF earth Is SWeeter
/ FOR his beings full release,
And thine own life is completer,
For his conquest and his peace.

Tho revenue resulting from this was meager
in the extreme, particularly 80 when medi-
cine was to be bought for the sick man and
doctors bills to be paid
In this crisis, Greene's cousin-a Mrs.
Strong, OF Decorah, Iowa-wrote to Mrs.
Greene for the documents she held. showing
tho connection OF her husband with the orig
inal sleeping-car patent. her purpose being
to place the facts before George N. Pullman,
which she did.
The unassuaged agonies OF poor Greene
gave little concern to Mr.. Pullman. He
turned as deaf an ear then to tho appeal OF
Mrs. Strong as he does to-day to the cries OF
the sufferers at Pullman, and Greene passed
away unheeded by the man whose early asso-
citation with him brought him his wealth.
II suppose it is all right" said Mrs. Greene
Yesterday, "but it does seem strange, this ar

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 21.-The mediation
committee Of the American Railway Union
held an important meeting this evening,
and unanimously voted to declare the
strike of Internationally. They sent
short notice to the effect to Supt. fillmore.
The militia will probably remain two or
three days yet to look after few hot heads
who have been intimidating workingmen.
As Superintendent Fillmore has already
declared that he will not treat with the
strikers and that no one will be
discharged to make room for them,
the position OF the A. R. U. men is not prom
ising. The railway company claims to have
enough men already to conduct its business,
and many OF the strikers will not get back.
Just what effect this unconditional surrender
will have on the other part of the strike is not
known. as the news have not yet been received
by other lodges of the A. r. U. In
Oakland there is every prospect that
the strikers will weaken now that their
stronghold at Sacramento is gone. When
Oakland gives up the fight. as it will probably
within the next twenty-four hours. the strike
in California will be thing of the past.

Hon. James d. Covert Told All About II
alta Meeting of the Interstate
Democratic Club
The Interstate Democratic Club held its
usual weekly meeting last night at the head
quarters, 63l Louisiana avenue. The hall
was crowded and the meeting was a spirited
one. The club was addressed by Hon. James
ID. Covert President of the New York State
Democratic Club.
The speaker gave a short history OF the
Democ ratio party, which he said, derived its
p rinciples from The English statesmen, Burke
and OK. over l25 years ago. He said that
Thomas jefferson was the first living exponent
of the principles and tho founder ofthe Demo-
cratic party.
The report OF the executive committee was
read, with an amendment TO change the con-
stitution of the club, in which 1t is proposed
TO hold the annual election OF officers at the
first meeting in August instead OF in December
There have been number of unpleasant
episodes in the inside circle of the club, which
render this change and others now contem-
plated absolutely necessary. The amend
meLt will be acted on at the next meeting.
The finance committee reported. and the
fact was developed that there was between
$500 aid 5000 in dues outstanding. and { he
financial secretary was instructed to collect at
once.
The resignation OF Mr.. McDaniells rs secre-
tary OF the organization. and also as q mem-
ber. was read and accepted. The club will

tions. and the chairman had his hands full

Pullman Deaf to an Appeal to Assist In.
vcntor Greene.
DEBORAH, Iowa. July 21.-Mrs J. c. Strong
of this city, was seen to-day relative to the
statement that has been made that P. b.
Greene, cousin OF hers, was the inventor OF
the sleeping car. Mrs. Strong said:
"In September, 1857, Mr.. Greene showed
to me a crude model of sleeping car. such
as Is now manufactured by the Pullman Car
Company, and he and both thought there
was fortune in it. He spoke of trying to
interest railroads in It and the discourage
ments he met with, as he lacked means to go
on with it. Subsequently learned from him
his disappointments, his selling out for a
trifie, etc. Years passed on; ill-health and
misfortune overlook him; each year found
him possessed OF less means and less strength.
"In October, 1892. his wife wrote me that his
end was near, and wrote OF the long-contin-
ued sickness OF other members of the family
and their poverty. l thought of the thous-
ands Of dollars George NJ. Pullman had
coined from the products OF the brain
OF the man who was dying In want, and,
as heard he was philanfhropic, l thought
possibly it might be pleasure. as he was
millionaire, to assist the inventor il he knew
his condition. So / wrote for the facts that l
might refresh my memory and resolved to
write to Mr.. Pullman and give him true
statement in regard to Mr.. Greene's physical
aud financial condition
On securing the desired information from
Mrs. Greene Mrs. Strong wrote to Pullman and
made an appeal for help for Mr.. Greene, as
they had not means to pay his fnneral ex-
penses, doctor bills. etc., as he was on his
deathbed She asked Mr.. Pullman not to rely
wholly upon her statement. but to be kind
enough to visit Mr.. Greene, and she gave him
his address in Chicago.
Pullman did not reply.
