WOODEN GOODS AND sHoDDY

The National Live Stock association,
by committee appointed for the pur-
pose, has framed a bill to be introduced
at the coming session of Congress, to
provide for federal Inspection Of WOODEN
goods and shoddy, and to prevent inn
position By the enforced labelling OF
such goods,or designation by tag. show
ing the presence Of other articles than
wool in their manufacture. The News"
has published the gist Of the measure,
but there is one section Of the bill which
calls for some remarks. 1t IL as follows:
That for the purposes OF this act the
word "shoddy' be understood TO mean
all fabrics made wholly or partially OF
waste hair, mungo. wool extract, waste
wooden rags. and oil fabrics in which
wool In any proportion Is usei In con
nection with any OF said iibers. mater
ials or fabrics, and ali articles In which
cotton. linen hair or other fbers OF
substances are used IN connection with
WOOL or wooden fibers IN the manufac-
ture OF any cloth, fabric or any other
article; and al other articles. goods or
fabrics into the manufacture ~ which
wool enters, which are not made q new
or Unused sheepa wool. made - laiiio-
ton OF wooden goods or fab.i,r, on when
so made calculated OF intended to 0e

The term "shoddy- az used IN tn
bill Is governed by the foregoing dcani-
ton. 1t Is incorrect ana absurt. Long
before the word "shoddy" passed into
the vernocular, goods were msnufac-
tured composed partly Of wool ana
partly Of cotton. linen, h u o. other e.
bers. They are 70 wovea today. Thcl

when they are falsely warranted as

The most significant thing about the
aggressive attitude OF France toward
Turkey II the fact that all the powers
have acquiesoed. Not a word OF pro-

has been left to his own resources in
facing the fleet Of hostile power. The
mschievous doctrine Of the sacred

USE OF CHLOROFORM.
Administration of the Drug Some
 times Results in Death.
Fatal Ending, Many Physicians Think, Is Brought About by Fright Quite as Often as by the Anaes-
 thetics Themselves.

Two deaths in Chicago in one day from the use of anaesthetics have served to call attention to the risks that come from the sleep of anaes- thesia.
 According to statistics, after mak- ing allowance for the care in de- termining whether or not a person is a fit subject for the drugs, it has been shown that one person in every 5000 will die from the use of chloro- form before operation, while from ether only one in 16,Ooo will die.
 Reports from the United States are incomplete, but in England in 1899 there were 93 inquests held upon the bodies of persons who had died from anaesthesia, and of these persons 68 died before operation was begun Dr. James Edmunds, commenting upon these figures for Great Britain, refers to the fact that the disposition to sup press such occurrences might point to 200 deaths annually in Great Britain. - Comparing the figures of England with those of India, Dr. Arthur Neve says that while the number of deaths in Great Britain constantly grows larger the fatalities in India from anaesthetics is only one in 26,000 cases.
 Climatic differences are supposed to account for the difference in these figures. In general a warm climate is more conducive to the successful administration of ch1oroform than is a cold one. Anaesthetics in general are more successfully given in south ern China than in the northern half of that country. ...-s
 In the two fatal cases in Chicago the operations were for growths in the mouth and in the throat. It has been recognized for a long time that the administering of chloroform for such operations is always attended with undue danger. Dr. F. w. Hinkel.

WILL LEAD SOCIETY
Prominent Position Assumed by
 the Vice Presidents Wife.
The Roosevelt House Will Become WashIngton's Social Center, on Account of Mrs. McKinley's
 State of Inya1idism.

The accompanying picture of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt is the first that has been given for publication. Few men in public life have managed to keep their domestic affairs from the enterprising reporter as successfully as the new vice president has done. Those who know the Roosevelts say that Mrs. Roosevelt, and not her dis tinguished husband, deserves the credit for this. She is a woman of very decided character, and has never had any desire to figure in the much exploited series of unknown wives of celebrated men," In her own circle she is power; in her own home an undisputed ruler. But she is in no sense a public parsonage, and does not care to pose as such. The governor of New York led a quiet life, socially, and Mrs. RooseveIt's Albany sojourn was marked by no brilliant functions. In fact she spent little of the time in Albany, prefer ring the comfort of her beautiful country home at Oyster Bay, Long island.
 As the wife of the vice president of the United States, says the De- troit Free Press, Mrs. Roosevelt will be obliged to assume prominent position in the world, and it must be said for her that she has yielded to the inevitable with grace and dignity.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was a Miss Edith Kermit Carow. She is now about :8 years old, and while not a beautiful woman, possesses unusual attractive ness of face and figure. She has an unmistakable appearance of racial

HERO OF THE BOERS.
Gen. Christian De Wet Is a Many
 Sided Character.
He Is Brave, Agile and Full of Quiet HumOr-Has a Gentle Disposition, But Frequently Displays Vio-
 lent Temper.

The meager dispatches which come l to us from South Africa give but lit tie insight into the character of the man whose name is daily associated with all the great events now occur ring in that country, writes Howard c. Hillegas, in the Worlds Work. To Wet is suggestive of the quixotic; he appears to us in the light of a char acter in fiction rather than as man of present action; his work is so remarkable that we can hara-J credit to his age.
 Since the beginning of the war al- most every British general and sol dier in South Africa has at one time or another been bent upon the cap ture of this one man. A half-score of times the ending of the pursuit has been clearly defined, yet invari ably he has escaped from the encir- cling cordon of men and guns. He has outfought, outwitted and out generated his opponents at every turn. He has done even more than. escape from his pursuers. He has made more than 5000 prisoners of war, he has destroyed many millions
 
 of dollars worth of his enemy's mu- nitions, he and his small army of 10,- 900 men have subsisted for more. than six months exclusively on the food and ammunition taken in bat tie, and, more than all, he has re- juvenated cause that seemed to be lost beyond reclaim when Pretoria fell into British hands.
 In personal appearance Gen. Dewet is easily surpassed by every burgher in his commandos. In searching for the mmander-in-chief of the forces, one would choose everyone else first. He is not as tall as the average Boer, and he is much less handsome. Usu- ally his clothing is as ragged as that of the poorest burgher, and when he is astride of his favorite old horse the commandant-gener is an ob-

Is that enough? If not you can add to it the fact that he sells the entire output of two factories.
 Not only does Mir. Earle perform the many duties of these positions, but he has never had "a failure re- corded against him. Those who know him best say he is one of the coming men of the United States and his rec ord is enough to warrant their con yictions.
