Canned Beef Barred from Germany

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-According to
official though trustworthy information re-
ceived at the Department of Agriculture
the German government has followed it's
prohibition of the importation of American
dressed beef and live cattle into Germany
by a new regulation which practically shuts
out American canned beef from the Ger
man markets. Canned beef was not in
Guided in the first prohibition, and consid-
erabie quantities of it continued to be sent
to the German ports. Recently, however
a order issued requiring that all
canned beef should be inspected. AS the
compliance with this requirement means
the opening of the cans containing the
meat, the order is practical inhibition.

The Academy Packed to Overfiowine
Last Night.
Possibly the largest and most fashion
able audience that ever assembled az
the Academy Of Music WAS there last
night. The vast building was packed
until there was not standing room in
either the main hall or the first gallery.
The people had, 1t seemed, turned out
en- masse to witness the commencement
exercises Of Allegheny Institute.
Inc programme for the occasion was
in two parts and was full of interest
from beginning to end. After an invo>
cation by Rev. j. G. Jones, OF Trinity
church, Il. A. Wingfeld delivered the
sslutatory address in the wsy OF
Latin Grafton. The Mandolin and Guitar
Club rendered the Allegheny Mandolin
March to perfection. after which Judge
William Gordon Robertson presented
medals to seven "stsr" students.
After the delivery OF medals by Rev.
Dr.. Campbell and the awarding of
diplomas, the honor roll was read and
q. Allen Kirk delivered the valedictory
address.
The second part of the programme
consisted Of farce comedy entitled
"The New Woman Frozen" which WAS
given by the Allegheny Dramatic Asso-
citation.
She wss very laughable and held the
strict attention OF the audience, not
outstanding the lateness OF the hour.
The young men who represented the

The subject of late German patent is
the ''mercerizing" of or giving a crepe
like appearance to Gotten. Before being
mercerized, by immersion in caustic aka
lies, the pieces are printed with coagi-
liable substance like albumen or casein,
or with mixture of gum and chromium
salts. They are then steamed, whereby
TIE substances which have been printed
on become fixed to the material, impart-
ing to it a peculiar feel or handle. At
ter the material is printed with albumen
and casein it is steamed in order to coag-
ulate them. 1t is then passed through
caustic soda of proper temperature,
squeezed through rollers for the purpose
of expunging the excess of alkaline liq-
uor, aged for some time, to prevent ex-
