buy tooth brush, and the store
keeper took down everything in the
shop before he could be made to UNI

After the brush had been found the
lola boy learned that its native name
WAS "tapoknos tampulse," and now
he is afraid to use it for fear it will
break his teeth.

Sad Plight Of Our Men.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The startling
story which came through Associated
Press channels to-day from Hong Kong
describing the situation in the First
Nebraska regiment at Manila created
something Of a stir at the war depart
ment. The dispatch was not permitted
to go from Manila, where the censor
ship pencil intercepted it. Soitbecame
necessary to send it from Hong Kong.
The dispatch proves what had been
suspected here for some time, that the
condition of the volunteer troops on
the island Of Luzon is not as cheerful
as General Otis has portrayed it, and
that the censor at Manila is making his
power felt.
No dispatch received from Manila
had been read with deeper interest at
the war department than that which
was sent by the Associated Press via
Hong Kong. War department officials
and army officers did not care to be
quoted upon the subject, but the COM
ment generally among army officers
was that the troops which had been
fighting so long and continuously, were
exhausted and we're really in need of
rest. 1t was explained that the men
did not fear fighting, but after fighting
and marching and constant picket du-
ty they were tired out and much ex-
hausted. Some Of the army officers
suggested that the action of the Ne
braska regiment was like town meet
ing, and that the army could not be
conducted upon such lines. Comment
was made to the effect that the dis
patches Indicated that the various reg
iments were on duty constantly and
that there was no reserve to relieve
them when they reached the limit of
endurance.
1t was stated by an officer in the de-
partment that one reason why it had
been impossible to relieve the volun-
teers with regulars now at Manila was
because the regulars recently sent to
the Philippines were atleast two thirds
recruits, and were necessarily untrain-
ed and lacked the discipline of the vol
unteers who are now veterans. It is
believed that General Otis did not care
to risk the hard fighting to unframed
men and that he desires the volunteers
to remain at the front because he is
sure OF them in any emergency.

No Governmental Care of Confederate
Graves.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 12.-The re
port of the committee on the resolution
relative to the presidents suggestion
that the government care for COnfede-
rate graves, is as follows:
"Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the resolution introduced by
General S. D. Lee, begs to report the
following substitute, with the recon-
mendation of the committee that the
same be adopted:
ssThe United Confederate Veterans
in their annual reunion assembled de-
sire to place upon record their sincere
appreciation of the utterance of the
president Of the United States in At
lanta in December last concerning the
assumption of the care Of the graves OF
our Confederate dead by the national

Making Their Influence Pay.

COLUMBIA, May 14.-Ifhas been no
ticeable circumstance that on occasions
of the meetings of the State board of
control in this city the hotel registers
indicated more than the usual number
of fpersons stopping temporarily in the
city. The whiskey drummers are, Of
course, here on such occasions in full
force, about twenty being usually on
hand. Their presence is perfectly nat
ural, and their coming excites no COM
ment. But with them usually come
some men more or less known i'll this
State, and men who, so far as the pub
lie is aware. are in no way connected
with the dispensary OF whiskey inter
ests. These are most assiduous in at
tendance, upon the meetings, and can
be seen constantly in company with the
regular drummers. Sometimes they
come in such numbers that at night the
hotel lobbies have the appearance usu-
al during Legislative sessions. 1t has
been developed that what has been
long suspected, is true, and that is that
these men represent whiskey, wine,
beer or supply houses s'on the quiet,
and they come here ostensibly on a
visit, but really for the purpose of pull
ing for business like anybody else.
Sometimes orders have been given them
ina small way, and sometimes they
come in for a big slice of the business.
AS might have been expected it soon
began to be hinted that these people
were getting 6 orders by reason of polit-
ical pulls, or through personal infiu-
ence.
It's not asserted that members OF
the board were influenced by such con-
siderations, though that is not an un-.
heard-of thing, but the fact is that
such talk became quite, common. The
present board, in view of the oppOsi-
tion shown to the dispensary during
the last Legislature, wants to avoid as
far as possible all such insinuations,
and at the last meeting, in an 3sexecu--
tive. session." it is alleged this matter
was discussed, and the board had de-
termined to purchase hereafter only
from agents of liquor houses, who are
known to be such, and to throw the
other fellows aside in order to avoid
the semblance Of favOritism or the idea
that political or personal influence has
anything to do with the purchases.
Whether such action was definitely
taken rnot cannot be positively stated.
Chairman Miles was asked about it on
one of his visits to the dispensary this
week, and he said the matter had been
informally discussed, but ne did not
think any positive action was taken,
he having left for home before the
meeting adjourned.-Ners and Courier.

Gen. NJ. G. Butler Talks.

The Augusta Chronicle prints two
interviews with Gen. NJ. c. Butler. In
one of these the general says he favors
acquiring the Philippines, offering the
negroes in this country inducements
to 60 there, and paying their way.
In the other he is thus reported:
sFree silver? Well, it is hard to say.
Personally, while an ardent supporter
of silver in the last campaign, am not
heartily in favor of making it the fore
most issue in the next. 1t has been
before the people once and has been
disclaimed and declared against. Get
some new issue. Don't drag dead
horse into the ring.
"Not all the leading democrats will
now support the Chicago platform, for
the reason that man may want to be O
democrat and still not be anarchistic.
Had the Chicago platform simply been
based upon championship OF silver
and such radical attacks as that against
the supreme court been omitted, it
would have been well.
"While silver may play minor part
in the democratic platform for 1900
think there will be some new thing
taken hold of-expansion. perhaps.
You know the country is full of talk,
pro and con, regarding expansion, and
democrats are divided upon the mat
ter, as indeed are republicans.
"Mr. Bryan is going around the
country decrying expansion when JEFF
ferson was the greatest expansionist
the country has ever seen. He is try
ing to make silver the leading issue,
but tits question whether or not he
will succeed.
..Who will be the candidate? That
is another question impossible to an
swer. Bryan has strong endorse
ment, but he is too firmly welded to
free silver to be the man it silver is
not the issue. I think German of
Maryland, is a much stronger man. He
is an astute politician and q statesman.
His recent defeat for the senatorship,
think, may be traced to Clevcland's
dislike for him, as may the downfall OF
other politicians. But German is 4
strong man nationally and can do more
to dissipatc party differences than pos
sibly Mr.. Bryan can.
q" have left politics forever, thank
God, but think that there is coming q
union of the democrat and populist
parties, which will both have their in
! fucncc on the platform of the coming
campaign"

Food Adulterations.

The adulteration Of food products
has proceeded in this country to an
alarming extent.
It is estimated that the people OF the
United States spend no less than So,
100000 a year for food and that
nine-tenths of this money is paid for
articles Of food which are more or less
adulterated. All food authorizations are
not Injurious to health, though great
majority Of them, probably nine-tenths,
are so in greater OF less degree.
Flour, coffee and syrup are among
the articles of common use which are
most rarely found pure, but the list of
impure food products offered to the
public and palmed off upon itincludes
almost every species of food and drink.
The adulterations of drinks from whis-
kes, brandies, wines, cordials and
beers to milk and mineral waters are
almost innumerable. The art OF adul-
terating food has been carried to "a very
fine point by American ingenuity and
has proved immensely profitable to
those who practice it, while it has un-
doubtedly worked great damage to the
general health. A report Of the Con
necticut agricultural experiment sta
tion on foods made only a few days ago
shows to what an extent frauds of this
character are perpetrated in that State.
SausaSes were found to be embalmed
with boracic acid and oysters also.
Forty-three samples OF fruit jelly out
of 63 examined were impure. Outof
40 samples Of jams, marmaladcs, etc.,
only three were found to be pure.
Adulteration of this kind suggests to
the Charleston Ne,rs and Courier the
fact that there is large opening in the
South for the manufacture and prepa-
ration Of pure jellies, jams, pickles and
many other articles Of food which it is
hard to find unadulterated. Both fed
eral and State legislation have been
directed against food adulterations but
they seem to become common in spite
of all efforts to check and prevent
them.

is eating nowadays.-Atlanta Journal.

Dewey Comes Home at Once.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.--"Scnd Olym-
pia's mail to B. F. Stevens, No. Ira
falgar Square, London, England was
the notice given out at the navy de-
partment to-day. This is the first for
NAL indication that the famous flagship
is coming home Immediately.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained that
Secretary Long had last evening cabled
Admiral Dewey permission to return
at once to the United States. He has
been relieved Of the obligation Of re-
naming at Manila until the Philippine
commission completes its work. He
is not even required to await the cessa-
tion OF hostilities, but may start home
ward at once. The notice posted at
the, navy department indicates that the
Olympia will not remain long enough
to receive the next outward mail. The
Mr. Stevens referred to is the navy de-
partment's agent at London to distri-
butte all of the mail of the United States
warships in European waters, so he
will see to it that the Olympia receives
hers as soon as she passes the Suez
canal. 1t is estimated at the navy de-
partment that Dewey will reach the
United States in time for a national
demonstration on the Fourth Of July.
The Olympia will not come under full
steam, but nevertheless she Should
make the run to New York in about So
days from Manila. That she is to come
to New York is nearly certain, as shown
by the following response made by
Secretary Long to the urgent message
of invitation to Dewey from Mayor
Van Wyck, of New York. 1t may be
stated that this was sent before the
notice was sent to Dewey that he might
come home at once:
"Navy Department, Washington, D.
c., May y11.-Sir: lam in receipt OF your
telegram with regard to the return OF
Admiral Dewey and expressing a de-
sire that he arrive first in the country
at New York. The time Of his return
has not been fixed and the department
has taken no other action than to au-
thorize his return whenever the condi-
ton of the peace commission shall per-
nit. AS to the route he shall take in
returning, the department is inclined
to leave that to him. He has served
with great ability, and must necessarily
feel so much the affect of arduous
labors in a trying climate and under
trying circumstances that the depart
ment is disposed to let him govern
himself in this respectlargely by the
consideration of his own personal con-
venience and wishes. It's understood,
however, that Admiral Dewey will
elect to return to New York.
Very respectfully,
'JoHN D. Lone,
Secretary Navy.
