tsDecIal Associated Pross Cable TO
Tha fatAfilRenceFl

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Callers at the
United States embassy to-day were In
formed that the United States was no
longer able to forward messages or Sc
cure information regarding the British
prisoners, President Kruger having re-
fused the request to permit Consul
Macrum to transmit list Of the Brit
ish prisoners. Though Mr.. Mnerum
apparently stlll remains the nominal
agent OF Great Britain, he is practical
ly deprived OF all powers pertaining to
the position.
It is understood that President Kru-
ger objected to Mr.. Macrum on the
ground that the United States claims
to neutrality were prejudiced by her
evident friendship for Great Britain.
All communications to the British
prisoners now go through the ordinary
military channels, which render their
ultimate delivery doubtful and certain
ly slow. The British government so far
has not taken any steps to amelicrate
the present condition OF the prisoners.
A government official informed repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press that he
did not see any good in trying to get
any other power to act In their be-
half as President Kruger would doubt
less treat Its representative in the same
manner that he had treated the rep
resentative Of the United States. More
over, 1t is not likely that President Kru
ger will be there long. II we did ask
any other power to act in behalf Of
Great Britain 1t would probably be

from Colonel Baden Powell, dated Mt

THE FLAVOR OF CHEESE.
Certain Kinds Must be Made In Ger
tain Places.

Certain Kinds Must be Made In Cer-
tain Places.
1t is a curious fact that certain dis
trlcts produce certain Favored cheescs,
and that those cheeses cannot be pro-
duced except in their respective locali-
ties. 1t is now explained that there
are specific forms of bacteria indigen-
Gus to those districts and not found
elsewhere. and it is the present OF these
in the milk that gives the local flavor
Various experiments have been made to
ascertain IL 1t is possible to cultivate
these local bacteria and then transport
them into districts producing inferior
cheese. For instance, says writer in
Good Words. certain cheese fungus
has its home In Normandy, and prOba-
bly, in Normandy alone, and to Its aid
we are indebted for certain Kind OF
cheese. Cultures OF this germ were
obtained and sent to Holsteln and arti-
ficially introduced into milk and set
aside for cheese-ihaking. The result
was not altogether satisfactory, for
though at times the cheese had good
Normandy flavor, at other times 1t re-
verified. apparently without reason. to
that OF the local Holstein. Herr HOTEL
meyer, the cxperlmenter, speaks feel
ingly OF the disappointment and unac-
countable relapses brought about by
the subtle influence Of the bacteria of
the place, an influence which has hith-
erto resisted the successful working Of
the imported species.
1t may be noticed in passing that the
organisms bringing about every form OF
cheese ripening are not necessarily all
bacteria, though always belonging to
the great group Of the fungi. Thus the
distinctive favors Of Rochefort, Cor
gonzola. Camembert and StIlton are In
duced by a blue mold, fungus desig-
mated pendulum glaucum, a common
enough variety, found often on old
boots, crusts, jams, ETC., which raml-
fles In the cheese and produces the
striking blue veins and patches.

THE INTELLIGENcER.
WHEELING, ooroBER as, lsp0.


It would appear to most rational
minds that DR.. Andrews, superintendent
d the Chicago schools, has gone to the
very extreme Of fine distinctions in for
bidding the use Of Kipllng'S "Reces-
gionQl" In the schools Of that city. For
what reason? Because, In his judg-
ment. the children of agnosties and UNI
believers should not be compelled to
sing or recite the lines.
This is not the first time that Dr..
Andrews has treated the country to
come peculiar views. While president
81 Brown University. he made himself
very conspicuous by defending the free
coinage Of silver scheme as enuncIated
IN the Chicago platform Of 1895. He
was 30 persistent in his advocacy Of
this financial fallacy that 1t came near
distupting the university. twas even
tually made so warm for him that he
resigned the presidency.
DR.. Andrews may be good educator
In the technical sense, but we hardly
believe he will be supported in his pres
ent eccentricity by the thoughtful men
Of the country. To be at all consistent
he viii be compelled to put under the
ban Of scholastic censorship much Of
the best and highest poetry whose
motif is the highest power and whose
song is Of the uplifting OF humanity.
Or, Andrews comes almost within the
ridiculous pale Of that enjoyed by a
certain straight-laced old professor who
at one time filed a chair In the faculty
Of the West Virginia University, It
was then the custom to have reeItatlons
In the chapel after religious services,
and on one occasion young man de-
claimed Longfellow's Excelsior" At
ter ctlticlsIng some faults in delivery
and pronunciation this professor
rather startled the body OF students as
well as the faculty by declaring that
no young man should famlliarize him
SELF with that poem. for the reason that
the sympathetic girl Longfellow pic
tpred was, in his opinion, altogether too
free and easy and emlnently demoral-
izlng4n extending the invitation found
in the lines
''oh, stay" the maiden said, ''and rest
Tiny weary head upon this breast"
Rational and healthy minds are not
prone to see such distortion unless
their attention is called to 1t by others
who cannot discover anything else but
evil In the highest thoughts. The COM
parison may be somewhat strained,
but 1t goes to show to what lengths the
''higher order" Of minds sometimes go.
Or. Andrews, seems to have almost
reached the borderland.
