tinued to discharge similar functions
on that and other New York papers

strsyed by fire in 1873, and three weeks
later he opened another theater, for
merly the Globe, in Broadway, under
the former name. Early in August,
1879, he established Days thsater, In

Many Fatalities Reported in and
About New York. a.n.z.
TH1RTY-F1vE DEAD I'M TWO DAYS

Aside From These There Were Thirty
three Prostrations. the Victims Of
Which Are In the City Hospitals In
. More or Less Serious Condition.
New York. June S.-Although tho
temperature was several degrees lower
during the latter part of yesterday, and
q stih, cooling breeze from the north
east started up at night, the record Of
fatalities for the day exceeded by far
those OF Tuesday in this city and vicin-
ity. Altogether there were 28 deaths
from the heat in this vicinity, and 10 Of
these victims were women. Aside from
this there were 81 prostrations. the VIC
Tins Of which are still In the city hos
pitfalls In more or less serious con-
dition. In New York city alone %
deaths were recorded, and Hacken-
sack, Newark, Plainaeld, Passaic and
Morristown each reported one death.
One Of the victims was a suicide, who
took his own life because of his suf-
ferings from the heat. For two days
deaths from heat sum up IS.
At the beginning Of the day the thor
mometsr registered two or three de-
grees above that Of Tuesday. But as
the day passed the mercury slowly con-
tracted, and the afternoon was slightly
cooler than Tuesday. The wind, which
had been shifting during the day from
the south to the northwest, suddenly
took a change and came from the
northeast. The temperature rapidly
fell. Between $50 p. m. drop Of 10
degrees was recorded. At $50 .. m.
the thermometer registered 10 degrees
at the Office of the weather bureau.
A man believed to be j. Meyer, a
citizen Of Cleveland, was found at
Laight street. near st. Johns Lane,
unconscious and suffering frem the
heat. He is about 40 years old, we'll
dressed, and had $500 in cash in his
pockets. The only clsw to his identity
may be telegram which was found
in pocket. He died in the hospital
without regaining consciousness.

Mr. MASON THREATENED
Pure Food Investigator Aroused the
Ire Of a Trust.
BUT he Is sT1LL UHD1sMAYED.

Declares the Illustrating Commits
sion Win Frame Bill which VIII
Prevent tho Sale Of Articles of Food
Under Fictitious Labels.
Chicago, June 8.--Senator Mason, of
the Pure Food commission, who left for
Washington today, made tho following
positive statements last night:
This commission will prepare bill
compelling manufacturers of food pro-
ducts to market their goods for what
they are; for instance, chicory must
not be labeled coffee, but chicory.
I'VE will have In the bill provision
that will absolutely prohibit the intro
ducti0n Of deleterious substances In
food products, that which Is delete
rfous to be left to the evidence sub
mitted by impartial scientific men.
II propose to offer an amendment to
the revenue bill fwkicha will absolutely
prohibit the importati6fffof food arti-
cles the sale of which Is prohibited in
the country from which they are ex-
ported.
II am no longer inclined to carry
on this investigation alone. The re-
sponslbility is too great, and l do not
wish to be considered the whole COM
mission, as circumstances have forced
upon me Of late. I will be slow about
holding another session of protracted
length unless one of my colleagues,
Senator Harris or Wetmore, Is with
me. 1t can be readily understood why
this is so. cannot act as I might
deem wisest when am alone on the
commission, my decisions In such
case being endangered by the sugges-
ton Of personality, when in reality
this commission stands upon an ab-
solutely impartial basis. There is one
concern in this city that has already
threatened to ruin me-"
What concern is that?" the senator
was asked.
"The glucose trust" he answered,
and continued:
1T is the old story of the -four bill.
! stood by the bill for unadulterated
-four, and have always believed l com.
PEELED its passage. At that time the
glucose men did. everything in their
power to brighten me or in some other
way get me off the track of my pur-
pose. Why, they even went to my
son, who was newly wed and had only
q scant home for himself, and offered
him salary of $4,000 year to act
as attorney for them, making the i'm
piled condition that he should haul
me away from the support of the flour
bill. The adulterators Of food pro-
ducts are pursuing similar tactics to-
lay, and that is why am determined
hat before the investigation proceeds
further fellow members of the COM
mission must step in and share the
burden of responsibility
Senator Mason said further:
1T is not true that intend going to
New York from here. l shall go to
and take my family to the
:oast of Maine for the summer, and i'll
he end of three weeks l hope to re-
lew this investigation" |
