FILLED CHEESE.
Our agent has visited large number
of places where cheese was manufact-
ured, and found only one factory that
had made filled cheese since the law
came into effect; this factory was in Los
| Angeles County. Our agent stated to
the proprietor that he had been in
formed that he had manufactured filled
cheese since the present law came into
effect The proprietor OF the factory
frankly admitted that he had made a
small lot on an order and shipped it to
Arizona, but had not made any to be sold
make any more. A short time after his
| factory was closed.
our agent and assistants have, from
time to time, procured samples OF
/ cheese and made tests Of the samples
procured, but failed to find any of the
samples adulterated, except three.
/ on the 1st day of April. 1896. our
agent learned that DeBernardi & Co.
commission merchants on Front street
| San Francisco. were selling Eastern
cheese at a very low price. Our agen.
caused TWO cheese to be purchased from
the firm; test was made of them
and both were found to be adulterated
| DeBernardi & Co. were Immediately
notified, and requested not to sell any
more until a chemical analysis could be
made. which request the firm readily
complied with; at the same time an
account was taken of the unsold cheese
Of the shipment, amounting to IA
| boxes.
An analysis was made, showing be-
yond doubt that the cheese was adul-
terated and the remainder was sen,
back to the Chicago shippers.

| 1t is a well-known fact that a large
amount of cheese consumed in this
State Is imported from Eastern States
while very small amount OF cheese
manufactured in this State is exported
which shows that the dairymen of this
State should turn their attention more
to the manufacture of a standard arti-
Gle of cheese, and by so doing, relieve
the market as much as possible of the
overproduction Of butter. and keep tht

GET WELL & STAY WELL
Get Rid of What Makes You
Sick and Stay Rid of 1t.

1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
VIII there are so many sick people.
Come to think about il, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick
II they knew that, they could prevent it,
and when they were sick, in some cases,
cure themselves. But. so long as we don't
take more care of our health, We sha al
ways he more or less sick
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scOur
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial A stomach full OF undigcsted,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealthest
thing you Can think OF.
Half our diseases and troubles cone from
the poisous of undigested food. More
than half Of them could be cured with
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
MORE than half. because, often when We
think We are sick we are only weak. and 4
course of nourishing food, digested with
out effort by the stomach with the aid OF
Shaker Digestive Cordially, would REIN

well.

FoRp.s rHEArER AWARDS.

1t seems as IL the rule OF division and
subtraction, rather than OF multiplication
and addition, had governed. the awards of
the Ford's Thcater disaster commission. and
the dissatisfaction expressed by the VIC
Tins of that catastrophe does not appear TO
be unreasonable. Regarding the commits
sion as the representative OF the govern
ment, IL cannot be said that Uncle Sam has
dealt as literally in this matter as court
and jury would have in an individual suit
for damages. The proportion of award
among the various bcnefciaries may De
equitable, but the basis upon which the ad-
Indication was conducted was decidedly in
adequate. 1t is probable that no formal
'kick" win he made against the awards. for
the very good reason that 1t would do no
good and might not be healthy for the
kickers. but the fact remains tina the va ards
are insufficient and disproportionate to the
sufferings of the victims or their SURVIVORS
Only within a day or two q jury in
Western State rendered n verdict against
a railroad company for $4,000 in favor
of man who had lost leg through the
carelessness of the company, or one OF its
employees. On that basis those of the Ford's
Theater victims. or their survivors, to
whom So 1000 have hccn given. ought to
have been entitled to not less than $50 900
or $75 900. and all the other wards should
bear due proportion to the maximum suna
Such awards, os course, arc out OF the
question. and the verdict OF the Western
jury is placed in contrast with the action

latter did not set up high standard Of the
value OF human life or of a sound body aud

The commission evidently had but haZy
idea of the money value of 4 Provider TO a

of the question cuts no figure in the present
consideration OF the case. Taking the sal

the commission is equal TO fraction over
four years salary. This is niggardly pro-
vision for family the head OF which had
"a reasonable prospect Of remaining in Of
flee for the rest OF his life. In fact, 1t
looks as IL the Commission did not ia Ike into
account the equities of the entire situation
or the necessities of each individual case,
hut simply took five thousand dollars at
hapha zard as the standard amount to he
paid aud scaled down all other awards ac-
Cordingly.
When a man takes employment under
the government as clerk he has a right
to expect that he will be SO quartered as
not TO be in da niger OF his life. and it should
not be necessary for him tn provide himself
with an accident insurance policy. though
that seems now to be the advisable.

GREATER NEW YORK.

Now that Gov Morton has signed the
Greater New York bill, by which a large
territory becomes incorporated with the
metropolis, ana its population will tie in
creased to more than three millions. and
its total area will embrace 3ls square
miles, the great problem arises. what should
he done to give it the best municipal govern
ment. This problem is to be solved by
a commission, consisting of the ma yors ur
New York, Brooklyn and Long Island City.
and ten persons representing the various
sections of the new corporation whose
report is to be submitted to the legisla-
ture for ratification. Until that report
has been duly approved, cons olidatiOn viii

How best to guard the Interests of such
a community is a task OF grave Importance.
Unless unde rtakcn in a spirit OF absolute
fairness aud impartialiiy. without refer
cnce to partisan politics, with an eye single
to the welfare OF all The people and the lest

The dream of the most advanced re-
formers in the cause OF municipal gov
ernment that it should be entirely di-
vorced from politics-rray not. probably
will not, have its realization in whatever
scheme the Greater New York commission
evolves. 1t is possible, however, to per-
feet a plan which, while making allowance
for the operation Of clean politics, will
save the cty's administration from the
grasp of the spokesman. The introduction
of the merit system would be a long step
toward this end, and the selection of the
higher officials according to some recog-
nized standard of efficiency would be an
other. The commission could immortalize
itself by giving to the greatest city on the
American cont niinent-the greatest city, save
one, in the world-the best government to
be devised by able and honest men. Whether
it will do SO or not time alone can tell.

BONDSMEN IN A BAD FIX.
Decision Rendered Against Those OF
Illinois Late Treasurer.

Carlisle. Ills. May l2.-Judge Wall, Of
the circuit court, decided yesterday that
the ten Chicago hondsmcn Of the late State
Treasurer Ramsey are not entitled to re-
imburse themselves out of his estate for
1868 900 they paid into the State treasury
to make good his deficit
The court held the lOaning OF State funds
to the banks by his sureties to be Illegal
and against public policy, and that the ar
rangrment with his bondsmcn tended to
malfeasance in office. According TO this
opinion, the bondsncn are Liable to prose-
cution under the criminal code. and ii is
said the Carlisle creditors of the State
treasurer Will attemptt TO have the bondsmen
indicted for conspiracy.
The opinion was filed in the case of John
Witbeck and other general creditors. who
sought to prevent the allowance of the
bondsmcn's claim against tue estate.

ria ges one or 10th of the contracting par

ried to Mary Ann House, free negro wo-

married Marian Conway, a free negro
woman, in the State Of Ohio. according to

The heirs of both marriages claimed The

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BOYS.

A committee of the East Washington Citi-
zens' Association went before the House
Committee on Public Lands this morning
TO advocate grant of modest portion
of the public domain TO aid in establish
ing and maintaining a manual training
school for white and Colored boys in the
District of Columbia. The request is not
an unreasonable one. considering the fact
that while all the States and Territories
have had millions of acres of land given
them by Congress in aid of their public
schools. the District of Columbia has never
received the slightest encoura cement In
this direction. Congress has given the Dis
trict nothing save what it felt obligated
TO give in its capacity as a common tax
payer. The equity of the request, there
fore, presented by the delegation of citi-
zens is indisputable, and the request itself
may be regarded as Endorsed by all the
people of the District.
There is probably no occasion to en-
phasize the necessity for such establish
ments as manual training schools, for that
is gene rally conceded, but too much stress
a one for the District. There are over
ten thousand colored boys and many thou
sand white boys here unable to obtain such
practical training as to fit them for earn
ing their livelihood. They are eager to
acquire such pra ctical knowledge, but
their parents are not so situated as to enable
them to send their Children to institutions
of technology or other schools where IN
structlon of this kind is impaired. In
nearly all the States. aud in some of them
in several cities manual training schools
are part of the public school system, and
so 1t should be in Washington.
The request made by the East WASH
ington Citizens Association should be
supported in every way possible by the
people in all portions of the District. and
the Justice of it and the great usefulness
of the object aimed at cannot fail to make
favorable impression upon Congress. and
In time bring the desired legislation and
land grant.
