BUFFALO GRAIN STRIK u.
Meeting of Bishop Quigley's Committee
Postponcd--Two NJ embers sick.

Postpomcd-TwoM Members sick.
Buffalo, N. Y, May 1.-THE meeting
of the advisory committee of ten. of
which Bishop Quigley is the chairman,
which was to have taken place tonight,
was postponed owing to the illness of
two members of the committee, until
tomorrow morning. 1t was generally
expected that a plan would have been
formulated tonight by which recon-
ciliation between the scoopers and the
Lake Carriers association could be eff
fected and the delay has proved great
disappointment. The strikers have
not agree to any terms or concessions
made by the employers except they
wer accompanied by an absolute wiping
out of the contract system. On good
authority it was stated tonight that
the scoopers must concede something
and it is only possible. but very prob
able they will agree to accept the terms
offers by the Lake Carriers.
During the last twenty-four hours a
number of shrewd, conservative men,
who WELD great influence among the
leaders of the grain shovelers, had been
at work They have told these leaders
plainly that their stand for the COM
plete abolition of the contract system
has endangered the victory won by the
men and that if they maintain their
radical stand much longer all will be
lost,

ADULTERATION OF FOOD.


| Chicago, May 11.-Before the senate
| pure-food committee to-day four prom
inent witnesses testified as to the effect
| on the human stomach of the use OF
antiseptics and ''embalming fluids
and preservatives in foods and drink
In general they We're agreed that the
| that in many cases they were poisonous.
| Either prohibit their use, they declar-
ed, or compel the manufacturer and
user to brand them plainly and explic-
| lily, so that the consumer may know
exactly what is being eaten. These wit
| nesses We're Henry G. Piffard, a New
York physician; Abbott C. Prescott,
dean of the school of pharmacy of the
University of Michigan; Victor c..
Vaughn, dean of the Medical faculty at
Ann Arbor, and professor of hygene,
and II. G. Adams, dairy and food COM
missioner in Wisconsin.
Dr. Piffard made specific reference to
foods and drugs which were being gen.
orally adulterated sometimes with dan
gerious results to the consumers Bro
mo seltzer he said, was one Of these.
Properly, it should consist Of bromide
of potassium or some other substance
of that kind, and the ingredients of
seltzer water. "But it appears" he
continued, that acetaniide Is being ex-
tensively used instaad. In the now,
famous Adams casa, the experts exam
ination of the bromo showed the pres
ence, in addition to the acute poison, Of
acetanilide so that / believe it's use is
widespread"
The committee made this statement
at the close of the day: THE things
which seem to stick out above the de-
tails of the investigation are the facts
that antiseptics are used indiscrirnin-
ately and to defraud and deceive; that
they are in most cases deleterious and
in some possibly dangerous. Second,
that in the absence of explicit labels
dishonest manufacturers are enabled to
put spurious goods on the market. These
things will be looked after In the pro-
posed legislation"
The testimony of witnesses already
heard has attracted wide attention in
all parts of the country. Letters are be-
ginning to pour in from New York, San
Francisco and other cities in general
accord with the testimony as published
Among others letter came from Jacob
Baize of New York, to-day, emphasizing

err, joined in the general coaxing.
Nell" said grandma, ''if you really
want to hear, 1 will tell you about it;
but wait a moment, I can show you my
valentine"
She left the room, and she was gone
so long that the children had time to
wonder greatly what grandmas val
entine could be, and they were all
gathered around her chair, with eager,
expectant faces, when she returned.
She carried in her hand small, old
fashioned work box, whose covering,
once bright and gay, was worn and
faded now. She smiled into the up
turned faces as she resumed her place
among the children; but there were
tears in her eyes as she said:
Now, children, will show you my
valentine; but, first, 1 must tell you
part of the story. And l must also
explain that when I was young people
made their own valentines, and, al
though they may not have been as
pretty as the modern ones, perhaps.
yet l think they were great deal
nicer, because, you see, nobody would
take the trouble to make a valentine
unless 1t were to send to somebody
that one was very fond of, indeed. But
Donald is growing impatient for the
story! When l was a young girl
lived in dear old country town, which
some of you have seen. My father
and mother both died when l was a
very little child, and so l lived with my
grand parents, and very kind and good
they we're to me, and loved them very
dearly. Nevertheless they were very
old, and, somehow, they seemed to
have quite forgotten how it felt to be
young and full of life, and grandma
did not understand why l was not al
ways content to sit quietly in the
house, reading or sewing all day, when
all my young friends were out skating
or sleighing, if it were winter, or pic
nicking or rowing on the river if 1t
were summer The old people had
one amusement, however, of which
they never wearied, especially in the
long winter evenings; they dearly low

She handed the envelope to Nell,
who, almost reverently drew forth
the valentine. 1t was a playing-card
the Queen of Hearts, and over the back
had been neatly pasted a sheet of
white paper, on which were written
the following lines:
My Kate is surely Queen of Hearts,
And l will swear she's queen OF
mine.
Let's play a game where Love is
trumps;
Sweet Kate will be my valentine?"
The children all declared the poetry
to be very beautiful.
But, grandma" cried Donald and
Dorothy together, what is that queer
round hole right through the middle
of the card?"
Sure enough, there was a hole,
which had pierced card and envelope

seem much like a grandfather then.
He was very tall and straight, with
flashing black eyes and dark curling
hair, and he had fine way Of throw
ing back his head when he talked.
People used to call him Handsome
Ben,' which annoyed him very much;
but when / told him what grandpa

what hypocrite l must be, Kate he
said, laughing, to make the dear old
gentleman think that come here just
to play whist, when my real reason for
coming is to see you Your grand
father was always bold as a young
man." said grandma, apologetically.
well, your grandfather used to
come evening after evening, and he
played long games of whist with the
old people; but he used somehow to
get in little talk about our own af-
fairs, although we seldom had
chance to see each other alone. And
then the 14th of February came
around, and l had scores of valentines,
and great sport it was, for each young
man had to deliver his own, and it
was no easy task to do this without
being seen, which would have spoiled
the fun. Well, just toward dusk, l
happened to be looking from an upper
window, and I saw tall figure creep
ing along by the garden wall. He had
his hat drawn down we'll over his face,
but l caught just glimpse of dark
moustache, and, I assure you, my
dears, it was all I could do to behave

our old colored servant, came upstairs

over the stairs, while Donald clattered
down and came back again with his
hands full of envelopes, large and
small.

And how happy the children were as
they tore open the envelopes and ex-
planned the pretty cards and verses
which they contained. And then Sis
ter Nell came in to show them her val
entine, great bunch of beautiful roses
and when Dorothy asked her If she
could guess who had sent them (for
guessing is half the fun on st. Valen-
tines day., she grew quite red, and
said, "Why, no; of course she couldn't;
how could she?"
And just then dear grandma came in
to see what the children were making
such racket about. And, of course,
they showed her their valentines and
Nell pinned one Of her most beautiful
roses on grandma's black dress; and
then, quite unexpectedly, Dorothy
looked up into the sweet, placid old
face, and asked gravely Grandma,
did you ever get valentine?"
Grandma did not reply for a moment
and then she stopped and kissed Doro-
thy on the forehead, and something
very bright and glistening fell among
the brown curls. Eyes, dear" said

James Partou,s Prediction.

In 1862 James Parton, the celebrat.

lowing prediction in regard to Abra-
ham Lincoln: History will say of Mr.
Lincoln that no man of a more genial
temperament, more kindly nature
ever tenanted the White House; that
he gave all his time, his thoughts, his
energies, to the discharge of duties OF
unprecedented magnitude and urgency;
that. hating no man, he steadfastly en-
deavored to win the confidence and
love of all the loyal and patriotic, and
that, in spite of four chequered years
of such responsibility and anxiety as
has seldom fallen to the lot of man, he
bore away from the capitol the sunny
temper and blithe frankness of Lis
boyhood, returning to mingle With his
OLD neighbors as one with them in
heart and in manner, in retirement as
in power a happy specimen of the men
whom liberty and democracy train in
the log cabin and by the rudest hearth
to guide the counsels of the Republic
and influence the destinies Of the peo-
pie.

He Worked tho crocar

A true story of a dog found guilty
of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses has been recently told. The
animal is very fond of crackers and
has been taught by his owner to go
after them himself. carrying a written
order in his mouth. Day after day he
appeared at the Grocer's. bringing his
masters orders for crackers until the
clerks became careless about reading
the document. One day the man came
in and complained that he had been
charged for much more crackers than
he had ordered. There was quite q
dispute over it. and the next time the
dog came in the grocer took the trouble
TO look at the paper. 1t was blank
and further investigation showed that
whenever the dog felt a craving for
crackers he hunted up n piece Of paper
and tyotted off to the grocery store
