Recent experiments show that the
dlgostibiilty OF milk is not greatly sf-
fccted by sterilization. The knowledge
OF this fact ia OF immcnsc value TO the

lilzatlon has been done away with.
And II sterilization Is not objection
able, certainly Pasteurization will not
be, for the latter requires the milk to
be heated 90 only 1855 degrees. while
the sterilization OF milk requires a
much higher temperature. Even boiled
milk ia declared to be only slightly In
ferior to milk In It's natural state. The
only appreclable difference would be
In the case OF feeding the milk to in
valids aud children. Some of the doc
tors who have investigated the matter
declare that sterilized milk Is not even
slightly inferior to milk in its natural
state. Even II the milk be slightly

president OF the Produce Exchange
Trust Company, used to be secretary
Of the Produce Exchange and Of the
New Yok Southern Society. Among
the men OF his acquaintance he ad-
mires none so much as does Colonel
William de Hertburne Washington. A
little while ago he asked Colonel
Washington II he might use his name
In financial transaction. Having i'm

scented, and was pleased to receive a
short time afterward a check for
$4,000, his share OF deal made by
his friend on the strength OF the name

that /, tabes 100 ppounds Of butter 10

seems 10 be an right. but even that

- she Is ordinarily handled, or rather.
as her batleF-iat is handled. The
above figures are based on the butter
being worth about 20 cents per pound

COW whose butter IS sold Tor about 10
cents per pound the year roandg II
her cost Of keeping be $50 per year
then Il ia evident that u would take
500 pounds Of butter to pay for her

THE SILK THREAD TRUST.
a S12,5OO,OOO Corporation Now Con
trolls the RusinesS.

New London Conn, Feb. 2S.-There have
been filed in the Office of the Secretary of
State in Hartford certificates showing that
the American Silk Manufacturing Com
pany, of New London, has increased its
capital stock to sl2. 5CO.O 900, with $1,000 600
in preferred 6 per cent stock and SI,50o,0oo
in common stock. The corporation has a

the purchase of the plants and assets OF
the Nonatuck Silk Company, of Florence,
Mass; the Brainerd & Armstrong Com
pany, of New London; Bedding Brothers &
Co, OF Rockville, Conn, and Northampton.
Mass; the Richardson Silk Company, of
Chicago; the Carbon Currier Company. of
San Francisco; William b. Haekenburg K
Co, of Philadelphia; the Winsted SILK
Company. of Winsted, Conn. and the
Aetna Silk Company. of Mount Carmel,

The French situntion.

The charge on which Deroulede, the
Anarchist reyolutionist, was arrested by
the Paris police was that of malicious
trespass. He refused to leave the barracks
when ordered. He had gone there to
harangue General Roget with the purpose
of enlisting the army in his reasonable
schemes. 1t is said 10 have been the pur-
pose of the government to release him
and subject him to popular ridicule, but
he was resolved TO play the martyr. He
confessed that he had attempted to in
duce the soldiers to join in an attempt to
overthrow the parliamentary republic.
He has put into the hands of the gov
eminent evidence for his own conviction
besides the discriminating documents
found in his rooms. There is now no
doubt that he will be placed on trial and
convicted, and that he will be imprisoned
during the time that he might otherwise
use to foment disturbances. He Will get his
martyrs crown. but it will be of no value
to him. BY the time he is released,
France will not be in a condition to ac-
cept his leadership.
At this moment it looks as though the
government had enlisted the support OF
the great body of the French people and
that there IS a growing sentiment in IA
vor of peace. While the bill to bring the
Dreyfus revision before the whole Court
of Cessation is an unwarranted attack on
that section which has had the case in
hand, its adoption will postpone the final
settlement and give 10 the government
ample time to strengthen itself against
any attempt at revolution.

Spreading Civilization.

4 thing which is reported by the kansas
City Star" ought TO receive the attention of
the anti-imperialists at once. One of their
arguments seems to be that each country
has so solid a right to its own customs
that 1t is wrong to let it know that
there are any others. They seem TO think
that We should not introduce any modern
Improvements into the Philippines, be-
cause that Will change the native life and
destroy its individuality. OF course, If we
put electric cars into Manila the natives
90 not need to ride in them; they can
walk, or patronize the present little old
shaky horse-car system, il they like; but
apparently the contention OF some of the
Hoar and Hale fraternity is that there
ought not 10 be any electric cars there at
all. If that is what they think, they will
find matter for grave apprehension in this
news from Kansas.
II appears that the Kansas State UnI-
yersity has been fostering the growth of
sort of fungus which destroys chinch
bugs. The chinch bug, while not SO
familiar TO the urban citizen as are some
other bugs, is very well known to the
Kansas farmer, and is frequently the cause
Of his INDUCING in unholy language. Fol-
lowing the lead of Kansas, the State Uni
versties of Ohio and Missouri are also
ready TO wage war on the insects, and it
is thought that if this fungus is judi
ciously used in chinch bug communities
it will result in the total determination
of the species.
There is nothing in this, of course to
arouse the anti-imperialist's alarm; no.
body in this country is SO tender hearted
as to avoid making war on bugs, by
whatever means is possible But 1t now
appears that people in South Africa have

curing about II. They have chinch bugs
or some similar insect out there, end
want some OF the exterminator. And the
question is. what right have we to inter-
fere with the laws of nature In other con-
tinents? Why should we force our mod
ern improvements, dictated by extended
scientific research. upon the happy South
Africans and their chinch bugs? What
is our duty in this matter? Should we not
leave such measures to England, or Ger
many, or some other imperialist nation
which does not hesitate to interfere with
the workings OF nats;ral law? There is

The rumors that the President had de-
termined TO relieve his Administration of
the burden OF Secretary Alger appear to
have been well founded. and it is positive
that many Republican leaders whose opin-
ions are highly valued by the President
have urged the importance OF a change in
the head Of the War Department Senator
Hanna. whose devotion to the fortunes of
Mr. Mckinley is absolute, is classed among
those who have found the country opposed
TO the continuation of Alger in official life.
But while the advice to the President
seems TO have had some effect, Secretary
Alger himself is a factor TO be reckcned
on In an interview at Pittsburg he re-
his resignation was first mentioned, soon
after the revelation OF the army scandals.
He will not retire while under fire. Those
who supposed the report of the Alger Re-
lief Commission would afford the oppor-
tunity so eagerly desired by the worried
Republican politicians are chagrined to
learn that the Secretary is still under fire.
Evidently he agrees with the country at
large that this report was not conclusive
or satisfactory; that in spite of its virtual
defence of his administration and its re-
Elections on General Miles, the charges
against him still stand.
Obviously. if Secretary Alger does not
retire under fire, he will not retire at all.

cal rights in the Orient; the territory best
adapted TO the extension OF free institu
tions. and territory of such value that
We gain more than its government can
cost lis.
We havr in the lesson of experience
every warrant to predict that just as we
now express our gratitude TO the great ex-
pansionists of the early days of the CEN
fury. so viii future generations joyously
celebrate the acquisition of the Philippines.
No explanations such as we are required
to make now will be needed then. 1t will
not seem of moment that peace with Spain
could have been made on no other terms
and that we had a duty to the present saw
ages of the archipelago. It will be enough
that the manhood of the Republic, the
character of our people, and duty TO civil
Iization made it cowardice and infamy to
surrender the Philippines 10 any fate that
might come. With the construction of the
canal which the possession of those islands
compels. the cause of expansion will de-
fend itself, as the present condition of the
old French possessions defends Jeffersons
policy.
1t is not surprising, IN view oil the spirit
of the proposed celebration, that the pub
lic-spirited people of st. Louis have pro-
jected Worlds Fair of surprising magni-
tude and splendor With the experience
of other great enterprises. il is not unrea
sonable that they should promise more
wonderful, more beautiful. and more COM
prehensive exhibition OF the worlds indus
tries and whatever is entertaining, curl
Gus, and instructive, than has yet been
seen. That every Commonwealth will lend
an eager hand to achieve an unparalleled
success is 4 foregone conclusion, for there
is not State but has its cause to rejoice
over the extension of the Republic from
the Atlantic TO the Pacifc-just as every
true American will have cause to rejoice
that the flag and the beneficent influence
of the Republic extend across the Pacific.

These figures show a decrease in the
number Of bankruptcies during period OF
increase in population and in number OF
industries. Agricultural enterprises show
dangerous increase in failures. Bankers
and business men are by no means so eager
TO assist purely agricultural enterprises
as they are mechanical and commercial
ones These agricultural failures are
made Zip Of the comparatively small firms.
No very large concern was involved. These,
as rule, are too strongly intrelched TO
permit Of failure. Another exception is
the increase in the number of textile con-
Germs that failed. This is due not only to
the tariff bill of 1897, but to the increasing
capacity of the United States to supply its
own wants and TO export 10 other coun-
tries. The shoe trade shows an interest
ing increase. Is it not possible that Amer
ica's wonderful progress and prosperity in
shoemaking is responsible for thisG The
reasons given here are that the big mills
are eating up the little ones. This, to
a certain extent, is undoubtedly true. An
indirect cause of many failures is the I'M
precedented building speculation The
commercial industries. as rule, are safe
and sound. This is due to more discreet
giving of credits and to a better system OF
