FOOD ADULTERATION
It Appears to Extend to Almost Ev-
cry Article on the Market

New York, Nov. 1S.-The United
States senate committee represented by
Senator Mason, of Illinois, resumed its
investigation into the adulteration OF
food prepared for the market.
William H. Seltner, a brewer in this
city for tWenty-three years. was the
first witness. He said he believed there
should be a national law controlling the
standard of purity of beer. The stand
ard should be fixed on a basis of barley
malt. He favored a law fOrOidding the
use of any grain but barley, and if that
was impracticable, a law compelling
brewers to issue labels giving the COM
pOnent parts of their beer.
DR.. Edward H. jenkins, an agricul-
tural chemist, vice director of the Con-
necticUt agricultural experiment sta
ton, declared that the general adulter-
alton of food products had increased
with the business compensation and
the demand for cheap ware. In his
five years experience, DR.. Jenkins said,
he found only one adulterant that was
poisonous, and that was a cOlOring mat
ter in a temperate drink. Cocoa shells,
prune stones and the like, he testified,
were sold as spieeS None of these
adulterantS, except the one color, was
hurtful to health, but all were frauds
on the consumer. More than half the
jellieS examined We're made of glucose
and starch paste cOlOred with artificial
COlOrlng, Favored with artificial flavor
ing and preserved with saIicylic acid.
The cheaper grades of coffee were found
to contain a large proportion of Canada
peas, pea pSlIelS, wheat InQdI1nS ana
chicory.
DR.. Jenkins presented for the instruc-
tfon of Senator Mason, a number of
small bottles containing the coffee
adulterants and imitation coffee beans,
adulterated mustard, which is twenty
per cent plaster of Paris, pepper that
is seventy-five per cent charcoal, saw
dust and -four, and cayenne pepper that
is less than 10 per cent pure pepper.
Tomato catsuD, the witness said is
made from the cores of tomatoes arti-
ficiaIy cOlored and preserved with sail
cylic acid. OF thirty samples of olives,
twenty-six We're adulterated with cot
tOnseed oil.
OF forty samples of beer tested, elev-
en- contained salicyIic acid, while of sew
en- samples of ale, six were pure.
Speaking of the dyes used in tenn
| perance drinks, DR.. Jenkins said expert
ments had shown that one glass of rasp-
/ berry soda had sufficient anaIine dye
| to color a piece of flannel five inches
/ square.

CONSPICUOUS GALLANTRY.
Of Lieutenant Gherardi During Hur-
ricane.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The navy de-
partment today gave out an account of
the conspicuous gallantry of Ensign w.
r. Gherardi, in the recent terrific hur-
ricane which swept across Porto Rico.
1t was forwarded by Captain Snow
station in San Juan who inclOsed letters
of Lieutenant Colonel Carr of the Fifth
cavalry, and others concerning the dar-
ing exploit.
The statement forwarded to the de
partment shows that when the storm
was at it's height, Ensign Gherardi and
H. J. Jimines, a civil engineer ran
along the beach to the point nearest
the shipping which was dragging
anchors through the terrific force of
the wind. The schooner Conception,
loaded with one hundred and fifty emf
EvascO were in great distress. Some
of the passengers were jumping over
board The statement goes on as fol-
lows:
"Gherardi at once plunged into the
water with his clothes on and began
waves and bringing them to the shore
he ordered those on board to throw a
life line to the shore, so as to make
fast, but they were so terrOriZed that
they We're unable to do anything but
jump into the water where they were
taken by Gherardi and Jimines and
brought to shore. There were from four
to six people (WOmen and children)
who did not dare to jump into the wa
ter. They were told to do 50, but re-
mained where they were and were I'M
doubtedly lost, as the schooner soon
went to pieces.
THE rescued numbered nearly 15C
souls. The steamer ViSascO was then
battling with the waves a few hundred
yards off. Gherardi called for a life

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 18.-The jury
in Judge Ludwig's court today brought
in a verdict for 81, 900 in favor of a son
against his father for medical services
performed. The suit was for damages
brought by DR.. Francis E Mcnamara
against his father. DR.. Frarcis L. Nc
Namara. The damages were placed at
S11 900, $500 less than was asked. SEN
satiOnal statements were made on both
sides and the testimony given by the
father and son was exactly opposite.
The son alleges he brought the action
because his father has decided all of his
property to his second wife, thus cut
ting off the son and daughters from
sharing the estate.

OUR PHILIPPINE DEAD.
Government Says Expense Too Great
to Bring Them Home.

Fort Leavenworth, Nov. 18.-The follow

Gen. Henry c. Corbin, Washington, D. c.:
Dear General:-Press dispatches an
nounce the intentions of the war depart
ment to bring to the United States the
remains of the deceased officers and sold
maj 1nterment IN the National cemetery
at the PresidiO, California and Arling gtOn,
mains as may be called for by relatives,
and thse to be shipped to their homes.
In view of the fact that among these
remains are those of western soldiers, I
beg to offer suggestion that the Nat
iOna1 cemetery at Fort LeavenWOrth, Kan
sas, be selected as the mid-continent cem-
etery where to lay at rest the remains of
these brave dead would meet with the
approval by the people of the west 1t
visit the cemetery, a privilege that would
be denied them if the two cemeteries
the Atlantic, alone are chosen.
I feel confident that this suggestion
will commend itself to you and that in
structions will issue announcing the Fort
Leavenworth cemetery as the resting
place for western soldiers. Permit me to
remain yours very respectfully,

penditure for the transportation by eX-
press of the remains of officers and sold

of that cemetery for the large number of

AMERICA IN THE LEAD.
In the Use of Electricity For Motive
Power,

New York, Nov. 1S.-A Herald dis
patch from Berlin, says:
The Tageblatt prints an interview
with Privy Councillor Doewe who was
the German delegate at the Philadel-
phia trade congress on the impressions
he gained during his visit. Herr Loewe
found the economic condition of the
United States most hOurishing especial
" in the marvellous development of
electrical industry and the Americans
far ahead of the Europeans in the use
of electricity as a substitute for hu-
man labor.
All natural forces, he says, have been
made use of for the production of cleo
trio force, the greatest being the Mag
ara Falls. The electric tramways and
railways are far ahead of those in Eur
ope.
Herr LOewe is convinced that if Ger
many does not want to be left behind
in competition for the worlds trade she
must make a better use OF electricity.
