MARKING FOOD PRODUCTS.
New Workers Urge n Law Providing
for Correct Labels.

An important hearing was given by the
House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce yesterday on Representa-
tive Shermans bill imposing additional
restrictions upon the transportation OF
food products and providing for the correct
marking Of all products transported from
one State TO another Those who spoke
before the committee were: Assistant Dali
~ Commissioner Flanders. OF New York;
Dairy Commissioner Adams. Of Wisconsin; (;
D. W. Whitmore W. J. Delementer. ". E
Smith. and A. T. Shepard. OF the New
York Produce Exchange.
They represented that New York was
particularly interested in the correction
OF the abuses now prevalent in the manner
Of dairy products and that Representative
She.man's bill is primarily designed to re-
liev the present situation.
Il appears that New York has a very
stringent law against the sale OF imita-
Jion butter, filled cheese. etc, in pack
ages which do not plainly set forth the
character OF its contents. This law. how
ever, applies only TO the local products.
and imitation food products shipped In
from other States may be labeled in any
way the shippers see fit and cannot be
touched under the law IL sold in original
packages. This naturally results in great
injury 10 the New York dairymen. as In
the case OF the famous New York cream
( cheese. u eraears that in New York 10
secure this label the cheese has to be up
! to a certain standard Of excellence which
/ il has so far maintained as to give il a
| standing throughout the country, but that
I in Chicago the label New York Cream
/ Cheese may be put on any kind Of cheese
and the product shipped into New York
and as long as it is sold in the original
| pac6ase there is no violation Of the law.
II was said that in the warehouses OF the
shippers in the West were hung ali va
rieties OF labels and the purchaser could
have his goods marked with anything he
saw fit
There was considerable discussion as to
the adulteTatiOn Of food products and as
70 the enormous growth OF the sales OF

II was thought desirable by the speakers
to restrict this business as far as possible

KA.lSAS CITY. No. March l4.-Clergy-
men here were much interested in the first
issue of the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon's paper.
The general opinion seems 20 DC that y is
fiat and uninteresting. The Kansas City
ministers are up 10 date and believe that
the chief province OF a newspaper is 10
print the news and not to be run on anna
teurish lines.
The Rev. Stephen A. Northrop. pastor Of
the First Baptist Church, said: Most de-
cidedly in its first issue-the Capital is not
a newspaper. The publication ofthe paper
under Mr.. Sheldon's manae ement gives the
public an opportunity to appreciate fully
the value OF the regular issue OF our repre-
sentative cosmopolitan dailies. The edi-
torials are commonplace; there are no dis
cussions OF the current news topics OF the
day and no consideration OF them that the
public is most likely to be interested in.
l can select score Of daily papers that
excel by far in moralizing on the live is
sues Of the hour.
The placing Of a prayer at the top o.
the first column Of the first page is out Of
taste. People look for news there. II
seems a travesty on prayer and a sacrilege
on the name OF Jesus Christ. What would
Jesus do? and II Christ came 20 Chicago -
and books OF that sort have done much TO
bring the hallowed name Of our Saviour
into public contempt The clergy had better
attend TO their own business and fight the
forces OF evil stTOnghOlds where they can
better reveal their skill as specialists in
striking sledge- hammer blows against the
world. the flesh and the devil. ! am much
disappointed in this first issue Nay a
kind providence deliver us from another"
Rev. II. ID. Jenkins. pastor OF the Second
Presbyterian Church, was pleased that the
paper excluded Objectionable advertise
ments, but thought the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon
ought TO have let himself out a little in
the matter OF news owing 10 the immense
resources the paper must command this
week He thought the paper was lament
ably weak in not getting literary cOntribu-
uons from some OF the leading Christian
writer's OF the day.
The Rev. Father Patrick William J. Dali
ton, Of the Church Of the Annuncistio
characterized the Sheldon edition as vuI-
carly sensational. and thought that the
Rev Mr. Sheldon was one OF the class Of
preachers who try to keep themselves be-
fore the public. He thought the topics
treated were featurized. were worn out

stance Mr.. Sheldon processes to be a

shooting and fatal wounding Of Dr. W. H.
Temple by Rev. J. f. R. Riddick near

day morning, is the alI-absorbing topic
here. Rev. Mr. Riddick was at one time
pastor Of West Street Methodist Episcopal
Church South, in this city. In his efforts
to shoot Dr. Temple, Mr.. Riddick wounded
himself in the hand in a very pain
full manner. DR.. Temple died of his
wounds Monday night. The generally
expressed opinion is that Mr.. Riddick
either felt himself Justified in shooting DR.
Temple or else his mind was unbalanced
when he committed the rash act. He is
still in the county jail. His case will prob
ably be called for trial at the next term of
the county court. which begins on the
fourth Monday in this month.
The following facts relative to the ira
gedy were obtained from a gentleman just
from the Scene of the unfortunate affair.
II seems that DR.. Temple paid Mrs. Rid
dick a professional visit on Wednesday
prior 20 the shooting. He informed the
family that Mrs. Riddick's condition was
not Of serious nature as was at first sup
posed. DR.. Temple soon left. II is said
that on Saturday. while Mr.. Riddick was
discharging his usual pastoral duties DR..
Temple made second visit to Mrs. Rid
dick during which he made careful ex-
animation Of her condition. On Mr.. Rid
dicks return his wife gave him an account
