TAROEN
The New Food for Infants and
InyaIidS.


An industry which has taken on new
life during the past year is the manu-
facture of Taroena or what has been
known as taro -four. The works of the
company are located at Wailuku, Maui.
and the demand for the article has
grown until many physicians look upon
taro as an invaluable food. especially
suited TO dyspeptics. In the Hawaiian
Islands taro in its natural state is the
national food. and the excellent health
of the Hawaiians is attributed in a
degree to its general use. The idea of
making il into flour was conceived
some years ago. and it has been used
as an infants food with pronounced
success since then.
Lately the company has increased its
capital stock with a view to increasing
the sale of the article in the United
States and the British Colonies. The
fact that Taroena is easily assimiiated
and digested makes it invaluable III the
sick room, and this fact has influenced
the company to increase the capacity
and make TarOena a medicinal food

INHERITs CRIMINAL TENDENCY.
Martin Thorn Came From POsen.
where Murders Are FreUuent.

Martin Thorn Came From Posen,
where Murders Are Frequent.
Prof. Walter Jaeger, a welI-known Ger
man educator of Brooklyn, in speaking of
the blood-thirstiness of the murderer of
Guldensuppe, said:
1T Is a singular thing that Martin Thorn
or Martin Tcrzewsu, rather, should have
come from the section of the German en-
pire which is notorious for producing GRIM
inals. The hamlet of Budzin, i'm Posen, has
bad name throughout Germany. Posen
Is In the northeastern section Of the en-
pire, and the country is cut up with a large
number of small streams and lakes tribu-
tary to the Vistula. The water is largely
stagnant, and the physical condition of the
province is unattractive. The inhabitants
of Budzin We used to call Wasser Polacks.
or Water Poles, and Water Pole in Ger
many is usually a pretty tough customer.
Bloodier murders are committed by the
Water Poles of Posen than by any people
in the empire. The men are largely char
acterized by low cunning, treachery and
deception. Although for many years a
German province, Posen today is hardly
Germanized. The masses use the Polish
language. The children are taught Ger
man, but everything else is Polish. The
crime with which Thorn is charged is sin
gularly like some that have been recorded
by the police of Posen during the last gen.

reached the corner he turned and saw
smoke pouring out the windows and doors
of the unlucky structure. He Immediately
retraced his steps. and upon learning of the
serious nature of the blaze started to turn
in the alarm. He informed Chief Paris,
upon his arrival, that there was an elevator
shaft at the rear Of the building that would
carry the flames to the roof, and it was
due to his foresight that the attack upon
the roof was made as soon as it was.
Although there are no evidences of in
cendiarism to be found either at the top or
bottom of the elevator shaft, on account
of the nature of the fire, still there Is moth
ing that would tend to disprove this theory.
Mr.. White states that his employees or any
one, in fact. on the lower floor, had no
opportunity t. go into the cellar, and how
a blaze could have originated without help
was mystery to him. No one could re-
call anything that had been put in the
cellar recently that would be likely to
cause spontaneous combr stion At the top
of the shaft the same case was in evidence,
ard the theory that the building was fired
from both the top and bottom Of the ele-
vator shaft seems to be not at all unlikely.

RELEASE OF ONA MELTON
Demand of a Resolution Submitted to the
Senate.
Sent to the Foreign Relations Com
mfttee-DeficiencyA Approximation
Dill Taken Up.

With the tariff bill through the Senate,
work in that body resumed normal condi-
lions today.
During the routine business Mr. Berry
(Ark) offered the following resolution:
Resolved by the Senate, That the Presi-
dent be. and he is hereby. requested to de-
mand the release of Ona Melton, a native
born citizen of the United States, who was
taken prisoner on board the Competitor
and Is now confined in a Spanish prison in
Cuba"
Mr. Berry briefly outlined the circum-
stances in the Competitor case, declaring
that the circumstances were such that the
United States should Immediately interfere
and demand the release of Melton.
MIR. Hale (Me.) suggested that the reso-
luton go to the committee on foreign re-
lations. There was, he said, no need of
hurry1ng the resolution today, as the COM
mittee was dealing with the subject and
needed no hurrying up, being all one way.
Mr.. Berry answered that when it came to
the protection of an American citizen he
fele there was need of hurry. He assented
to the reference to committee and this dis
position was made.
Mr.. Hale desired to go on with the de-
hciency appropriation bill, but was met
with an earnest effort to have the pending
Pacific railroad resolution taken up
The appropriation bill was held to have
the right of way, whereupon Mr.. Morgan
said he would later move to recommit the
deficiency bill with instructions to report
back bill fer the settlement Of the Union
Pacific railroad debt. The purpose of this
motion was to open the Pacific railroad
question to debate.
The deficiency bill, carrying 1881, ,465, was
then considered.
The committee amendment accepting the
invitation of France to take part in the
international exposition at Paris in 1860 and
authorizing the President to appoint a spe-
cial commissioner at salary of 5000 to
secure space and arrange for proper ex-
hibit caused extended discussion, Mr.
Morgan urging that the commissioner was
given too much power.
Mr.. Hawley Comm said that France was
one of the first to accept our invitation to
the worlds fair. and we were one of the
last to accept Frances invitation.
Mr.. Morgan paid high tribute to France
and cordially supported proper representa-
tion at the exposition. But he criticised
the appointment of a temporary special
commissioner" 1t was a humiliating ex-
pedient. due to the fact that the House, of
Representatives was locked up.
On Mr.. HaleS explanation that this was
a preliminary step, binding us to an accept
ance of the invitation. and then giving time
for mature preparation, the amendment
was agreed to.

Operators Acknowledge That More
Men Are Out Than Expected.

No Trouble Has Occurred at Dill

CLAIM THAT 10000 QUIT

PITTSBURG, Pa, July S-There were
but few new features in the mining situa-
ton in the Pittsburg district this morning,
and these were generally favorable to the
miners. With the exception of a few men
at scattering mines, the only miners at
work were those Of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company and the
Canonsburg Coal Company. In fact, the
suspension Is almost complete.
A meeting of the first pool miners was
held last night, and decided to join the
strikers. The result is the mines are prac-
tically closed today, only few men being
at work. These men are under contract,
and 10 per cent of their earnings have been
retained since the first of the year, to be
forfeited in the event of their failure to
keep their contract. 1t was thought these
men could not be brought out, and the
fact that they have decided to quit will
have the effect of inducing others to Join
the movement.
Panhandle Miners Quit Work.
The Panhandle miners also met and de-
cided to throw down their tools in ten
hours after the first pool diggers quit
work. These men are also under contract
The Beading men have also decided to
quit.
1t Is said that arrangements have been
made for demonstration at Gastonville
and Snowden tonight. A brass band has
been engaged, and it is reported a march
will be made to the mines. If the program
is carried out there will likely be trouble
me me shaner diggers on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad have decided to return to
work. They mine coal for the eastern mar
ket and claim they will not be benefited if
the strike Is either won or lost.
The miners of the Yough Coal Company
are meeting at Scottdale today. They are
working under a verbal contract at 60 cents
and quit when the general order was is
sued. Nearly 1900 men are employed at
these mines, and 1t Is said they are anX-
ious to return to work. President Dolan
went to Scottdale this morning and will
endeavor to keep the men in line for the
G9-cent rate.
Situation Becoming Serious.
A number of coal operators seen today
say that the strike is becoming serious, as
more men are out than they thought would
join in the movement.
BellevilIc District Little Affected.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, July s-The strike in
the Be1leville. ILL.,, coal district may be
said to be off. In spite of the order to quit
work, only three mines are idle and it is
said on good authority that they will be
running today. Miners in and about MUIR
physboro, another large coal center in
southern Illinois, are not in sympathy with
the strike movement and say that they
will not come out.
Claim 100000 Miners Are Out. =
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July s.-United Mine
Workers headquarters report from 125OOO
to 10000 miners out. This is all who were
at work, except West Virginia, outside of
Pennington and the Wheeling district, and

Company of Pittsburg. Headquarters have
advices, they say, that the feeling in Pitts
burg is that mining for this company can
