BOGUS BUTTER.
Sale In New Iori, State Decreasing
 New Jersey Violations.

ALBANY, Dec. 31.-State Commis- sioner of Agriculture Charles A. Weiting in his annual report to the legislature will point out that the clandestine sale of oleOmar@arinc under the brand of renovated butter" in New York state is on the decrease, which is due. he says, in a great measure to the alertress ot the agents of his department. Upon this subject he will say:
 The most Of these violations are com mitted by persons coming in from the state of New Jersey distributing olco- margarine i'll wagons which from the markings have the appearance of being duly licensed, legitimate eXpressmcn in the state of New Jersey; that the ob. ject of the scheme is to leave the i'm prcssion that they are common carriers. This makes the work of detection and prosecution quite difficult"
 The commissioner calls attention to the fact that the report made to congress by the commissioner of internal revenue as to the amount of olcomargarine sold in the different states in the Union during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899, shows that there was sold in the state of New York during that period the small amount of about onc-fourth of 1 per cent of the total of T9.39S.I44 pounds soli, and this is q good showing when it is taken into consideration that this state contains about one-cleventh of the popu- lation of the United States.
 The commissioner states in relation to the olcnmargarinc cases against Armoul X Co, dismissed by Judge Hiscovk, that he advised q settlement two years ago when the defendants offered $20,O00 in settlement and to keep out of the mar kets of the state of New York with theiI commodity. He made this recommCnda- tion after careful examination of the facts and upon the advice of counsel that there was not evidence enough to convict Armour & Co.
 The consumption of milk in the cities has increased per cent during the past year. During that period 13,504,6 4( quart cans of milk were received in New York city as compared with 6.0G2, ,21( cans ill 1888. This is an increase of ovel 100 per cent of the amount consumed i- that city during the past 12 years.

STARVED TO DEATH.
ThatIs What Happened to One Amer
 ican Family in China.

New York, Dec 31.-The American Bible society has received report from the Rev John R. Hykes, it's agent in China, dated Shanghai, November 27, in which he says that the mission aries who are safe in Tai Yuen Flu are Graham Mckie, Miss Chapman, Miss Way. Mrs Ogren and child. MT OS- ren was mastered. Duncan Kay, wife and child, escaped to the moun- tains from their station, I<u Wu Hsien. A native Christian kept them supplied with food until he was discovered by the Boxers and killed. After his death the widow nObly tried to save the lives of the missionaries by smuggling food to them, but the Boxers found out what she was doing and murdered her. They then placed guards at the en- trance to the gorge where the kays were concealed and so effectually did they prevent all communication with them that they were entirely cut off from their food supply and all three of them starved to death.

 mitted to the people before being put in operation. He thinks that the plan is certainly better than the present plan of election in case no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast.
 MT Freeman also fayors tEe other amendment passed by the house in creasing the size of. the senate to 36, under which the state will be re-dis- tricted and the districts made up ac- cording to population. The principal complaint against the present system Is the inadequate representation of cit 1es in. the house of representatives. Many plans have been proposed for this, but the best, in his opinion, seems to be to allow all towns at least one representative and then give each town an additional representative for every ten or fifteen thousand inhabitants.
 A bill giving increased representa- tion to Hartford has already been de cided upon.

 American WoInunhood.

American TOIll;nhG0d.
 CHILLICOTHE, Mo-, Dec. 31.-Holl Caine, writing to the Soross, a local wo- mans club, under date of Gr2ba Castle, Isle of Man. Dec. S. says:
 When one considers what the position of woman was, even in the most civ iliZcd ount"ies, as recently as 100 years ago. and how high place she has now won for herself, not only in the statute books of nations. but in the republic of art, one cannot but feel that the change is even more remarks ble than some of the great material developments which have distinguished the century.
 ''Speaking as one who has seen life in many countries, l feel that it is within the truth to say that the position of wo- man is higher in America than in any other part of the world. For this result American women have no doubt to think their own natural gifts and great inde- peudence of mind, but they have also, think. to be grateful to the splendid chivalry i'll the other sex, which is mo- where more conspicuous than in the best type of American gentlemen"

SUIT AGAINST TROLLEY ROADS

|, New Haven. Dec 31.-Suit will be Brought in the United States court Within a short time by Benson Bid well of East Hartford against the Fair Haven and Wcstvillp road for infringe ment of patents. The suit is one of
 many that Mir Ridwen will bring in
 the courts of this country against trOl- ley roads from One'cnd of the country 10 the other Big damages are asked by the claimant.

It k said that all trolley roads now in operation are prOtiting by his inven- ton. BidWcll wants back royalties from all the roads now using his sys- tenn. and as most of the trolley roads of this country and many in Europe are using it his claim for damages will be something prOdigiOuS.

BidWCll is said to bp the brother of George and Austin Bid well of London. who gained notoriety by attempting to rob the Bank of Eng land of $2,0OO,000 by forged checks.

Father Cleary's Lecture.

R*v:J. NJ. Cleary of Minneapolis
addressed a large audiences at the
church of St. Frances Xavier on til:
Folly of the Drink Habit
Father C]eary said that legislation
alone could not regulate the appe.
tiles and passions OF men. Reason
and religion must be the principal
force invoked. Our land boasts Of
it's great progress, it's great advance
in civilization, and yet intemperance
in various forms, is a vice peculiar
to our county. We say that we
carry civilization to the Orient, and
the shiploads OF liquor sent there,
and the 400 new drinking places in
Manila, are strange commentary
on our Ioasts.
Greed is back OF this unholy ira tic,
greed assisted by diseased and de-
lukive appetite
The speaker gave statistics to
show the enormous sums expended
for liquors in this country every
year. He showed the folly OF the
drink habit from several points OF
view, proving that sobriety conduces
to longevity, to health aud to pros
perity.
He considered intempera nee the
