FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TOO.
ADULTERATED FOODS ARE M
PORTED ron AMERICANS,

Most Foreign Countries Have laws
Against AduIte ration for the Home
Mnrkets-This Does Not Prevent
the shipping of Spurious Articles
to other COuntries-Chemicn
Used for PreserVing-TaIk of "a Law
to Prevent Food AduIteratiOn.
Chicago, May 4.-One of the most i'm
portant points sought by the senatorial
pure food investigation committee at its
second session here to-day, was the form
ulation of legislation not solely for the
protection of the public against adulterat-
ed foods manufactured In this country,
but also against those which are import
ed
The first witness called was Giles Lewis,
a druggist of this city, who stated that
while other countries had laws which pre-
vented the selling of adulterated goods in
their own countries. no provisions were
made against exporting them to foreign
countries. He said the United States re-
ceived articles of food made in Germany
and France that would not be used in the
country where made because of the pre-
servatives used.
Mr.. Lewis advocated the passage of a
national pure food law and the appoint
ment of a permanent commission, the
duty of which would be to prevent The
marketing of any article of food or drink.
domestic or imported, that was misrepre-
sented
DR.. Wiley gave further Information to
the committee regarding the articles sold
in this country which were adulterated.
Among practices that are fraudulent vet
not injurious to the health, he mentioned
the sale of fish Of cheap variety and grade
for more expensive kinds, especially fish
packed in oil.
Ii also is a common custom, DR.. Wiley
said. for dealers to stamp packages with
foreign stamps and thus deceive the pub
lie into believing they We're imported
goods. The sale of turtles in restaurants
for terrapin was also a common means of
defrauding the public. Famous wines
and other drinks of foreign countries are
on sale in American markets that never
saw the color of the ocean.
The witness said that adulterations of
food and drink which are injurious to the
public health could be classed in two
groups-coloring and preserving. The
methods of coloring green vegetables were
spoken of in detail. The matter which
is used mainly in restoring the natural
color of green peas, the witness declared,
sometimes was salts of zinc and some
times salts of copper. either of which is
poisonous and the use of which should
not be permitted.
Probably the most common chemical
used as a preservative, according to DIR.
Wiley. is salicylic acid, which is made to
great extent from carbolic acid. 1t
should not be permitted, because it is very
bad for the health, especially for those
who have weak stomachs.
He ended his testimony regarding the
subject by saying that no food which was
offered for sale which contained preserva-
tiveS was fit to eat

Mrs. Mary Mcclure, widow of James
Mcclure, who was shot by Follan some
time ago, died last night at No. go Indian
street, from heart failure, the result of an
overdose of laudanum taken early in the
afternoon.
Mrs. Mcclure had been living since soon
after the death of her iIusDdnd in the

IRON DRUM EATS HAY.
HOW the Rope Is Kept From sIinnInr
When the Cars Are Crowded.


FROM the Kansas City Journal.
IL is not generally known that hav

miles of wire rope that draw the csbIa

But al the power house at Erif.ao,,.,,

engineer stood by the side of a twenty
loot drum around which four coils Of the
cable wind, throwing hay by the arm mi
among its teeth. AS though by a. bip, eIe-
phant' the hay was caught in wisps and
punches and whisked up over the wheel
and out OF sight under the staging Of tba

was noticeable, and two men throwing
their strength on the lever which held in
place the gearing of the drum that was
being fed suggested that hay might NOT
be usual ration and that only Some trvs
ing case called for its administration
The explanation sugges ted was the true
one. The dong lines of cars that had
collected downtown after bringing the
school children near the scene of the Band
OF Mercy Convention, had filed with
passengers as they stood on the tracks
waiting for the professions to get out of
the way. Nearly every car on the three
systems that converge on Walnut street
was attached to the one cable that runs
from the power house around the loon at

power, the strain was terrible Almost
without an effort the other drums with
their cables revolved and drew their loads
but the Walnut street cable was taxed to
its utmost The smell of burning tar
was noticed and little puffs of smoke ris
ing from the big drum told that the rope
was slipping and burning the tar with the.
ferceness of the friction. 1t was then
that the system of the great machine

W ashington, May 4.-President Mckinley
to day decided to leave the city next Mon
day and remain away for two, and possibly
three weeks.
According to his present intention the
President wall spend this vacation al the
Hot Springs, Va. He is suffering from a
slight attack of rheumatism, and is also
feeling the strain which has been upon him
Tor many months He is anxious to enjoy
perfect rest and at the same time TO avail
himself of hot baths, which will remove
the rheumatic tendency.
The arrangements for the Presidents
visit have not yet been fully concluded.
but 1t is likely that a special train will be
provided for Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley and
will leave here at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning, reaching the springs about 5
O'Clock in the afternoon. The President and
his wife will be domiciled at the Home
stead Hotel, as none of the cottages are yet
ready for occupancy.
The Hot Springs are only about eight
hours railroad ride from Washington, so
that the President could return at once TO
the capital if any occasion arises for his
presence here. During his absence the
President will transact only such business
as absolutely requires his personal atten-
ton.

At first he strenuously denied his iden-

writing. He finally tacitiy admitted his
identity by greeting acquaintance in the
county jail, where he was taken.
Experiencing difficulty in earning his liv-

false vouchers on the government for
fictitious employees salaries. He was I'M
