Board of Health Investi-
eating Abuses
ANOTHER INSPECTOR NEEDED
THE "BOB VEAL" AND DISEASED
MEAT INDUSTRIES
A Two Hours Discussion on the Re-
port-The osteopathy Got the
Marble Heart

The remedy which the board Of health
will recommend to the city council for
the numerous abuses that are being
praoticed in the matter Of the food sup
ply of the city will be in the form Of
statement that an additional deputy,
health officer Is needed whose duties It
shall be to make thorough examination
of all the food, and particularly the meat,
which Is offered for sale in this city or
as much of it as possible. This official
is to be known as the inspector of meats
and vegetables and will be under this
direct control Of the health department.
The present inspector, whose duties con-
sist Of the inspection Of milk and live
cattle, will continue in these duties and
will render the additional office all the
assistance possible.
While this was not officially decided
upon at the called meeting Of the board
Of health last night, the action Of that
body was such that such a remedy was
the best they could suggest. The matter
of the offering Of diseased meats for sale
in the local markets came UP in the form
of report from the special committee,
for the purpose of making a personal
investigation Of the matter. This COM
mittee reported as follows:
INVESTIGATORS REPORT
Your committee appointed to inspect
slaughter houses beg leave to report
that we have visited ali the slaughter
houses in and around the city. To use
general terms, those with government
inspectors were found In good condition
and the meat on hand. on close inspec-
ton, was found to be Of excellent quality.
Those without such inspection. were
found in condition varying from indiffer-
ent to bad. The meat in the latter varied
also from good to that positively diseased
and dangerous to health
We also find that very young calves,
or what is generally known as "bob"
veal, are brought into the market by
parties who make 1t business to pur-
chase calves few days old of dairymen,
and either ship or cart the same to our
market for consumption.
In view Of the above facts and the
needed close inspection Of the sources Of
our meat supplies as well as careful and
diligent inspection Of milk and the dair-
les we deem it impossible for one man to
perform the work as outlined above.
Therefore we recommend that the office
OF meat and milk inspector be abolished
and instead the offices Of milk inspector
and of meat inspector be created.

OREGON GOING TO HAWAII.
Big Battleship VIII Be Sent Across the
Pacific.

Washington, July 14.-Recognizing the
gravity of Japan's attitude toward annex
ALTON, the administration has decided to
send the big battleship Oregon to Homo
lulu to relieve the cruiser Philadelphia
and the old corvette Marion, now sta
toned there, both of which need removal
ton. Orders were issued by the navy de-
partment that the Marion return at
once. The Philadelphia needs repairs
badly, and 1t is necessary to get her back
to the United States. The Philadelphia
will remain at Honolulu, however, until
the Oregon reaches there and perhaps
longer.
1t has been intended by the navy de.
partment for some time to send the
cruiser Baltimore to Hawaii, but it will
take longer to make repairs than was ex-
pected at first.
But this has served a good purpose in
allowing the Navy Department to send
the Oregon, one of the most formidable
SHIPS in the service, without giving Japan
the opportunity of constituting this action
as display of unfriendliness on the part
OF the United States.
1t Is not customary to send battleships
AoioiSA porCS, dilu Uuo oIOSOh A1oNOi
has made SO long a voyage as that from
San Francisco to Honolulu, distance of
2l00 miles. While Japan cannot consis-
tently object to the disposition of our
naval vessels, it has been no uncommon
occurrence in diplomacy for one nation to
construe the presence of a warship or an
usual display of naval strength by anoth-
er nation at port in which both have q
vital interest as an act to be viewed with
concern, and information to that effect
has been conveyed frequently to the gov
eminent of the offending country. Ii Japan
should send such an intimation to this
government, it would be met by the OK
PLANTATION that the Oregon is the only
vessel available for the service.
In detaching both the Philadelphia
and the Marion the navy department will
not weaken it's naval force at Honolulu.
The Oregon is more formidable than
both and capable of combating any vessel
in the japanese navy. She is so far SUI
perior to the japanese cruiser Naniwa,
now at Honolulu, that comparison is out
of the question. The administration is
taking Japan seriously in her stand con-
corning Hawaiian annexation. Japan
insists that she does not seek to embarrass
the United States, but the administra
ton is taking no chances.
The intention to send the largest avail
albe vessel to Honolulu shows that this
government purposes to be prepared for
emergencies pending the settlement of
the Japanese claims against Hawaii and
the ratification of the annexation treaty.

NEW SAYINGS OF chklsT.
Translation Of the Logia just Found in
Egypt.

Especial Cable Despatch to The SUM-
London, July 12-Among the discoveries
made at Behneseh by Messrs. Grenfell
and Hunt of the Egyptian Exploration
Fund is small page, 5 "a inches, con-
tanning eight sayings of Christ. The
logia consist of detached quotations, each
beginning "Jesus SAITH
I The first saying is: "And then thou
shalt sec clearly to cast out the mote that
is in thy brother g eye.''
The second saying is startling and en-
tirely new. 1t reads: "Jesus saith except
ye fast to the world We shall in no wise
find the kingdom of God; and except ye
keep the Sabbath ye shall not see the
Father"
This being at variance with the accept
ed teachings of Christ, it is suggested that
1t is perhaps Jewish forgery committed
with a view to supporting the Jewish
Sabbath. Perhaps 1t is an erroneous re-
port.
tanned in John 1, but the form is differ
emit. Christ describes Himself as standing
in the midst of the world, finding all men
drunken and none athirst. "And my
soul grieveth over the sons of men be-
cause they are blind In their heart. -
The fourth saying has persisted, only
one word remaining. This is the Greek
word for beggary. As this was not used
by Christ in any gospel, the legion is
considered to have been new.
The fifth saying. which contains certain
gaps, is of extraordinary interest. 1t
reads "Jesus saith, wherever there are
there occurs q gap and there is one (gap)
alone 1 am with him. Raise the stone
and there thou shalt find Me; cleave the
wood and there am"
The latter part is entirely new, and
1t is expected that 1t will arouse contro-
versy. 1t seems to indicate pantheistic
OF the mystical occultism of the gnostics
In the early Christian centuries.
The sixth saying comedies in part with
Luke, iv., "a: "No prophet is accepted
In his own country; neither doth a
physician work cures upon them that
know him.
This is considered to prove that Luke
had the same original records as the logia,
because the Greek for accepted, here
hitherto supposed to be one of his mere
| literary changes on Matthew's collection.
lhe seventh saying is similar to Mat
thew ", a, but is incomplete.
The eighth saying is undecipherable.
1t is suggested that the date of the
| document must be from the year $50 to
the year 800 A. D., probably not later
than 200 A. d.
The Greek of the logia, which has been
seen by the correspondent of The Sun, is
so clear that dispute as regards words
is impossible. A controversy can only
arise in regard to the Interpretation of the
new passages.

HIS HOME MING.
How Cashier Kent Left the Maine State
Prison.

Fred L. Kent, formerly cashier of the
Ellsworth national bank, who was par
doned Friday by President Mckinley,
passed through the city Saturday on his
way home.
The pardon bearing President McKin-
ley's signature, arrived at Ellsworth at
$50 that morning and one-haf hour later
the steamer H. E. Hamlin was leaving
that city for Rockland, having aboard
four prominent Ellsworth citizens, Col
lector of Customs John B. Redman, Hon.
Hannibal E. Hamlin, S. G. Stevens and
NJ Gallett
Arriving here, they took blackboard
and drove post haste to Thomaston. War
den Allen was handed the document
which meant so much to the ex-cashier
and the latter was soon in the presence of
the four men who have stood behind him
SO faithfully in adversely, and who were,
if possible, more delighted at the welcome
tidings they brought than the pardoned
man himself.
In the grip which contained the par
don was suit Of Kent's clothing which
had been packed there by Kent's aged
mother.
The packing of these clothes was not
without it's pathetic features. In the Dos
ON of the shirt Mrs. Kent fastened a dia-
mond stud which had been a valued pres
ent to the cashier. Its starched front was
wet with tears of joy, that flowed like
rain when those who had done SO much
to get the pardon told the mother Of their
success.
The Ellsworth party came into and left
the city very quietly, and few here recog
nized the man whose indiscretion caused
so much sorrow in eastern Maine four
years ago. He walked aboard the boat
arm in arm with Gen. Hamlin, trifie
pale, but with his head erect and with a
manliness of bearing that four years Of
prison life has not had the power to
efface. No time was lost in getting the
steamboat under way, and it steamed out
of the harbor at $50 with five joyful per-
sons aboard.
The steamer stopped at Surry on the re-
turn trip and the party took a buck board
for Ellsworth, arriving at 10 O'Clock.
Notwithstanding the late hour several
hundred people were ready to welcome
the returned cashier, and the demonstra-
ton was such as to prove what a strong
hold Mr.. Kent has always had on his fell
low citizens. The meeting Of son, wife
and mother was especially affecting

diplomatic Clothes.

(St. Louis Globe Democrat.)
After an American has obtained COM
mission to represent his country abroad
he is in deep trouble as to what he shall
wear upon state occasions. A few days
ago it was told by the newspapers that
young Sickles, son of the general, had
sought an appointment as adjutant on
the staff of the governor of New York, so
that he might be entitled to the privilege
of wearing the uniform of lieutenant
colonel at the Spanish ICourt, to which
he has been sent as secretary OF the lega-
ton. Something of this kind has been
done with every change of administration.
Winston of Chicago did it when he was
made minister to Persia by Mr.. Cleveland
twelve years ago. President Harrison
sent to Spain New Jerseyman named
e. Burd Grub. who was commonly
called Early Burd Grubb by the Philadel-
phia papers. Mr.. Grubb wore to court the
gorgeous uniform of the Philadelphia
City Troop He was photographed in his
court costume. The European vendors of
pict ues still keep Mr.. Grubb in stock.
After awhile the Spaniards learned that
the City Troop was local dress parade
affair and that the minister might with
equal propriety have CARRIED himself in
anything he could hire in costumer's
shop, SO far as significance of attire was
concerned They laughed at the gorgeous
American every time he put on his fine
feathers.
A young man of southern Illinois
town was saved recently from making an
ass of himself by the strongly worded
advice of a friend who had been abroad.
This young man received the appoint
ment to small consulship in Germany.
He belonged to the militia company of
the town and conceived the idea of having
his uniform somewhat embellished to
wear on official occasions. He was in
duced to abandon the purpose. The prob
lem of dress for Americans at court is as
old as the republic. 1t bothered Benjamin
franklin, or would have done So if he
had not disposed Of it summarily. About
half a century ago, secretary. of state
attempted to get up a court dress for
American diplomats. He consulted tailors
and studied regulation uniform plates.
HeSinally evolved a combination of silk
stockings, knee breaches, dress coat and
buff waistcont, with a few minor features
but he never reached decision to pro-
mulgate his court dress. Congress once
came to the relief of fresh diplomats by
passing q law which still permits Ameri-
cans in service abroad to wear the uni
| form Ct the rank they may at any time
nave held in the army or navy. Nothing
Is said about militia commissions, but
the law has been construed to make it
permissible to wear the uniform abroad
y which one is entitled at home.

At that moment there was a commo
ton in the hall, and Mr. Clifford en-.
tered, followed by a police inspector.

Bo%rderham," said the private detective.

piled the baronet Come into the

interview, he led the way, followed by
the two men, while Beryl went on
slowly up stairs.
As she looked at them across the hall
Mr.. Clifford, who was the last of the
three, turned for a second and shrugged
his shoulders and lifted his hands with
a gesture which she read to mean that
something serious had happened.
Then, full Of disquiet, she went ON
