Connecticut has food adulteration
daw under the provisions Of which the
presence of any antiseptic or preserya-
tive not evident and not known to the
purchaser or consumer marks the arti-
Gle as adulterated and unfit for sale.
The State maintains an experimental
station for analyses Of suspected food
products, whence information OF cases
OF adulteration is promptly sent to the
proper prosecuting officers. This sim
pie machinery has proved quite effect
I've in limiting the vagarles Of food
SOphistcators In Connecticut, since the
publicity given to the analyses of the
experimental station usually results in
driving the deprecated article out of
the market. In a recent instance the
State chemists found pure fruit jelly''

ing. armed with Krag-Jorgensen rifles
determined to assist the white miners,
should their services be required.
Trouble has been brewing ever since
the militia was recalled by Governor
Tanner last Monday, since which time
the white miners have refused to allow
the negro miners to come into town.
Today Is negroes marched into the
whites The whites returned the fire
promptly, and running fight ensued.
The negroes, closely followed by the
whites, scattered, some running up the
main street, tho remainder starting
down the railroad track. Here the
worst execution was done. After the
fight was over, four dead bodies were
picked up, and another man was found
mortally wounded. They were taken
to the city hall, where the wounded
man was given medical treatment, and
an inquest WAS held over the dead ones
Later, near the Brush mines, in anoth-
er part of the city, two other dead bod
les were found.

Husc Bradley. John Black. Henry
Uranium. Two unidentified.
Mortally wounded: Sim Cummings.
TIE mayor has taken every plecau.
ton to prevent further trouble, and
none will occur unless the negroes
make an attack.
Superintendent Donnelly, Of the
Brush mines, where the neg, oes reside,
reports tina: the negroes are worked up
into frenzy, and. while he is doing
all in his power to hold them in
check lie is afraid he cannot do so
much longer, and that unless the mill
tia appears shortly further trouble may
be looked for.
Trouble has existed here, off and on,
for over year. but no fatalities &C.
Cured until June 80. when a passen-
ger train on the Illinois Central rail-
road was fired into and one negro wo-
man killed. These negroes were on
their way to the mines, having come
from Pana. A short time afterward a
pitched battle ensued between the
union and nonunion forces during
which time the dwellings occupied by
the union negroes were burned. Sew.
eral arrests were made, and the parties
are in Jail at Marion on the charge Of
murder, awaiting trial.

Reply OF Transvaal Worry Unsatisfactory
Beers Mean to Fight.

Beers Mean to Fight.
London, Sept. l9.-The reply of the
Transvaal to Mr.. Chamberlain's latest
note is said to cover nine pages. 1t is
eminently Of the negative and incon.
elusive" character. which Mr.. Cham
berlain declared would compel the inn
perial government to consider the situ-
alton afresh. 1t practically regulates
suzerainty, reveits to the seven-year
franchise. and declines to give equality
to the Dutch and English languages in
the volksraad. In short. it is politely
negative and defiant. The full text
may not be available for day or two,
but it will not change the aspect of
affairs. The cabinet will probably
meet on Wednesday or Thursday to
consider the next step.
1t is supposed that the next move
contemplated by the Transvaa is an
appeal to the powers. begging them to
recommend arbitration on the lines of
the conference at The Hague.

1t is interesting to observe that ar
Eastern paper has taken up the wor'
of reviving the Malthusian principle
and is asserting with much vigor that
population tends TO increase faster
than the means of subsistence The
exact value and sign ticance Of this rule
have been so plainly illustrated in the
century since Nautilus elaborated il
that they can be stated in a few words
Where the means of subsistence are il
excess of the existing population the
tendency Is for population to increase
the faster. Where the means of sub
sistence are only adequate to the exist
ing population the increase of popula
ton cannot be faster because the OK
cess of population will perish for lack
of subsistence. This has been proved
Signally in more than one way during
the century of which Nautilus saw the
beginning. America and Australia
having means of subsistence with civ.
ilized industry for vast populations
have seen an immense growth of popu.
lation. In Europe. when he wrote. pop
ulation seemed to be at standsti!l be
cause the means of subsistence Were
no more than enough for the existing
population. But the principle worked
out in a different way than its author
supposed. For the great inventions and
devices of the century multiplied the
means of subsistence so as to permit a
great increase Of population in Europe
as we'll as in the unsettled portions OF
the globe.
