THE BEEF COURT
Analysis OF Canned Roas Bsef shows
mp In It's Favor-Testimony as TO
Chemical Preservation OF Refrigcra-
tor Reef

Washington. April 5.-The two prin-
cipal witnesses before the beef court
OF inquiry today were Professor Russell
II. Crittenden. OF Yale college. N DIR.
Samuel A. Currie. who was lieutenant
colonel OF the Second New Jersey
regiment. which was stationed at Jack
sonville during the war. Professor
Chittenden is one OF the chemists Sc
lected by the government to analyze
the canned roast beef. He presented
his repor showing hat the beef gem
orally was good. No chemicals had
been found by him in the preparation
and II was generally wholesome. He,
however, expressed doubt as to wheth-
er the heat of the tropical climate
would not cause the fat in the cans To
liquify and thus render the food dis
pleasing TO the sight.
Colonel Davis stated that most OF
the cans from which the samples were
taken for analysis had been exposed
10 the heat OF tropical countries. some
Of the cans being brought from Havana
for the purpose Of test.
DR.. Currie testified that the refrig-
orator beef supplied at Jacksonville
had on some occasions made the men
sick. He had made chemical analysis
of the beef, which, in one case, show
49, AA1 Pi1SNAA1 vi dGlu dIl ~
another of boracic acid.
DR.. Currie said he had discovered
some ten or twelve ears ago. by actu-
al tests, that Swift & Co. used salyilic
acid to preserve their meats. Two
months ago he had made a similar test
or beef furnished by Armour d Co. at
his own home in Englewood, n. J.. aud
al tests, that Swift * Co. used ~salycilic
acid. The beef thus examined looked
paler on the surface than other beef.
He thought beef could be treated by
both injection or immersion in the acid.
What use did you make of the in
formation secured two months ago
concerning the Armour beef" asked
Colonel Gillespie.
None at all" the witness replied.
Us there no law in New Jersey
against the adulteration Of food?"
Not that / know Of. You can do
almost anything you wish to in New
Jersey. They kill and eat horses there
Major Lee then read the reply OF the
court to General Miles report for the
summoning Of 131 witnesses named by
him, and General Miles reply, asking
that they be placed in the record. The
letter 10 General Miles was written by
Recorder Davis, Of the court OF inqui-
ry. 1t was dated yesterday and read
as follows:

We see it mentioned in n or
of the state exchanges that a negro Or
gan called the Star of Zion has given
out as it's decided conviction that the
negroes of North Carolina will not
again be deceived by the Shiny, trading
politicians who would sell their souls
for office and put their race under the
rule of 80 per cent of burden-bearers
so despicable and beneath contempt.
The negro organ aforesaid has said
recently:
"The Charlotte Evening News and
the Oxford Public Ledger announce
that the dollar fund is the latest
scheme of the republican campaign
managers in North Carolina; that the
proposition is that each negro preach
er give SIS, and every grown male negro
il the state shall contribute a dollar to
fight the proposed constitutional
amendment.
First, it will be time to talk about
what each male negro should pay af-
ter this amendment is adopted. 1t is
NOT yet adopted. There is no need of
| crossing a bridge before o get to it.
Secondly, if the amendment should win
| at the polls the negro leaders will raise
| the necessary funds to employ astute
constitutional lawyers to go before the
United States Supreme court at Wash
| ington to test its constitutionality.
! "The republican party here and in
oth6f states need never again to count
on a solid black .-ote."
So the negroes will not bite at the
cherry to prevent the carrying of the
amendment but will fight it in the court
if it is carried. Perhaps!

Our First Manila Millionaire
EDWARD H. GREEN, THE HUSBAND OF HETTY, DISCOVERED FORTY
YEARS AGO THAT THERE WAS A FORTUNE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

they could not bear to sacrifice thelr
daughter Yes. Edward Green was too
old and too settled to make a young girl
happy.
But true love, after suffering as only
true love can. and surviving as true love
always does, carried the day and saw the
white feather of surrender raised over
the Robinson homestead. Hetty Roplh-
son and Edward Green were married ana
after a honeymoon went to london 10
live. They had too many interests 10 re-
main long in New England, or even on
the continent.
TVS children were born, Edward II.
Robinson Green, and Sylvia, ana the
Green family was a happy one.
But the fever of speculation spread
over the country and the germs attacked
Edward Green. the father of the family.
Twenty years ago he went INTO WI
street. and Wall street did for nm what
it has lone for many another man, 1t
sent him forth Pennies. Lured on by
the fortune which seemed ever within his
grasp. he spent money freely ana became
known for his generosity to pubic chafl-
ties and to the street poor. Commodore
Vanderbilt once called him 'Spendthrlft
Green and the name chung to him. 1t
happened III this wise:
\ visitor said to the Commodore,
Green was in to see me today"
"What Green?' asked the Commodore.
DO you mean spendthrlft Green?' and
the visitor replied that he did.
When Edward Green lost his money,
the Green family might have been
straitened in circumstances had it not
been for his wife. Mrs. Green, who had
some money left her from her father
which she had wisely invested, suddenly
discovered that the money had been
turning itself over to very good profit.
She also found that by assisting It in it's
revolutions she could add q great deal to
the bulk. ana so she and the money to-
gether could keep rolling the sum into a
vast fortune. She turned her attention
to Wall street. But instead of speculat-
ing, she studied up good investments,
and was anxious to loan 2 little here and
there. The agents Of milllonalres would
quietly notify her when their patrons
/ were out of money and she would just as
quietly loan them $4,000 or so with a
good rate of interest.

She did nothing i~llegimately, taxed no.
body unGuly, and though she drove hard
bargains, she kept her agreements and
did ell she promised to do and a little
more.
Meanwhile Edward Green, overcome
by the lack of his fortune, desired quiet.
He needed constant care and. the rest
of a home. This his wife with her
many interests, found it impossible to
give him, and when he suggested that he
would be very comfortable at a hotel in
New York where he had once lived, she
His rooms were near the Union clllh, of
which he was a member and from that
day to This he has lived in his apart
ments and daily visited the club when he
was able.
Ten years ago Hetty Green is said to
have remarked to a relative, Mr.. Green
is too old to live in the hurly-burly of
business life and 50 we have fixed nm
up at the club. At seventy a man can
not bear as much as he could at forty
So Edward Green at seventy gave the
rein of his fortune into the hands of his
energetic Wife and settled down quiet
" to become "Hetty Green's husband"
i, Nor was Mrs. Green less capable in dis
posing of the rest of her family. Her
son Edward, having grown to manhood,
was sent to different parts of the country,
10 New ElS idi4u, - thc L oShiS ,'o7'' ~
Europe and to Mexico, upon business
missions. The daughter Sylvia was put
into the hands of an elderly society Wom-
an of New York, who introduced her to
old K~nickerbocker society at a tea, and
then allowed her to spend her time in the
quiet way which best pleased her.
A Wall street man said that Hetty
Green told him at the time of her separa-
ton from her family that she did not like
Mr.. Green because he spent money toe
fast. But it is very doubtful if she ever
said such a thing. 1t was not a case OF
incompatibility, but only one of business

she positively could not darn socks nor
attend to the needs of a husband. That
was the whole secret of it.
AS for herself. Mrs. Green lives quiet
ly at one of several places. Part of the
time she lives in a hotel IN Brooklyn very
near the Bridge, which she is ru1nored to
own. Here she occupies a single room
and eats at the public table. She never
takes dessert and refuses all but the most
substantial food. When she is in New
York she occupies a very comfortable
room in the middle of the town and gen.
orally has the society of her daughter,
who is very fond of her mother. Mrs.
Green and Sylvia have been photograph
ed together very often and the
in speaking of her mother is enthusiastic
in her praise of her disposition and busl-
ness qualities. .
When Hetty Green was a young girl
she was a great belle, and as she says
now. she wore silk stockings n went
to balls She was the intimate friend
of Miss Catherine Wolfe, who enriched
New York with a marvellous ART collec-
ton. Forty years ago these two young
women, Miss Robinson and Miss Vote,
We're the great catches OF soclets-the
great chance for titled noblemen-for
they each represented millions, just as
Miss Fair and Miss Goelet do today.
Edward H. Green is i'll now! Report
has it that he is very feeble and his Wife
has been spending all her days with him
to the great exclusion of her business in
~terests. The same rulnor Whispers tnat
he is eight-two years old and that he can
not possibly live long.
Public tongue is always mlschleVous
about his interesting couple, and a year
ago when Mr.. Green had an attack OF m
fluenza and required a trained nurse the
public told a queer story of Mrs. Green's
jealousy-of how she mar the
nurse and went out and hMed one OF
her own selection, an ugly faced girl, to
whom Mr.. Green Would not make love.
1t is considered very smart today to go
to the Philippines. The first man VINO
comes back from the Philippine colony
with the newly earned million IN ms
pocket will be famous, but forty years
ago Edward Green did that same thing
and nothing was thought of it.
Besides earning a million IN the Philip
pines he made forty millions by marry
ing the right kind of a girl, and that is a
pretty good record for one man.
