Adultcrated Foods.

]
There is an interesting display of pur'
and adulterated food products at th'
Pan American Exposition. 1t is th'
work of the Department of Agriculture
and shows the dyes, impurities. anc
! poisons used by INSCRIPTIONS manufac
turers. 1t is likely to arouse the feeling
| of the public on the subject, and may
| in future. cause the passing of laws Il
prevent this sort of thing.
But there is one essential defect in th'
exhibit, and that is. that no clew is
given to the spectator as to the particu-
lar brand of food in which the adulter'
| atoms were found. The labels are re-
moved from the specimens analysed, Sc
as not TO hurt the feelings of the man.
ufacturer. The person who sees this
exhibit, therefore, and is convinced that
there are dangerous authorizations in
canned goods, has no way of escape but
to refuse to use canned goods at all. II
out of ten samples of canned fruit seven
contain salicylic acid, the all-important
thing is to discover which three do not
contain the pernicious substance, and
this nobody can discover without TAX
ing every separate brand to a chemist
and having it analysed.
There is not much doubt that in time
we shall have legislation on this sub
ject, and adulteration of canned goods
will be forbidden by law. Until recent
years there has been no great need of
such legislation. according to the
opinion of the masses of the people, be-
cause most housewives who were par
ticular about their canned fruit did the
work themselves, after the manner OF
their mothers. But nowadays the can
ming factories are able to supply the
public with fruit and vegetables at less
than the cost of the materials when the
work is done at home, and the house
wife is saved the trouble and worry of
doing the work herself. 1t is not neces-
sary for the factories to use salicync
acid and other deleterious things. any
more than it was for the old-faShioned
housekeeper to do it. Their profit
comes from the doing of the work at
wholesale as they do. They can buy
sugar, fruit, and cans at the minimum
price, and when tin cans are used the
cost is next to nothing. They can af-
ford to give the public good fruit and
vegetables, safely put up, and out of
such a business they can get all the
profit that a reasonable firm could
want Those who use pernicious adul-
terations do 1t to save. bother and in
crease their profits beyond the reason
able point. For the safety Of the public
this thing should be stopped.
Perhaps the easiest way to stop it
would be to make grocer liable for
selling adulterated goods, and send a
food inspector around at intervals to
test his wares. There ought also to be
offices where suspicious food could be
analysed at the request of customers.
If every dealer knew that there was a
place where his customers could take
can of peaches or tomatoes and have 1t
analysed and that if it were found to
be adulterated with any deleterious
substance he would be subject to
fine. he would soon be very careful
about buying such goods. When he
found an honest manufacturer he would
stick to the products of that factory,
and the dealer would find it profitable
to be honest.

Director General Fosnes. in charge OF
the Department of Posts in Cuba. is re-
ported as saying that the Nicely trial will
begin about October l. If this statement
he verified by events the people Will re-
joice, but they are not Inclined to go into
ecstasies prematurely. There are some
things connected with the Cuban postal
scandal that Mr.. Fosnes may thoroughly
understand. but there may be others
that he only thinks he understands. The
Times is throwing no obstacles in the
way of the trial of either Nicely or Rath-
bone, and will welcome both trials when
they come, but We shall extend no adj
vance welcomes. Both men ought to have
been tried many months ago. But they
were not. and we do not know that they
ever will be. They may never be tried
at all, and if tried may escape on tech
meal bubbles. We regard 1t as in every
way safer to withhold our rejoicing until
a later day.

TEE TARIFF OUTLOOK.

President Mckinley is expected to re-
turn to Washington early in September.
There are many loose ends requiring at
tention. Unless a diversion can be eff
fected by the roundabout method of reci-
procity treaties there viii be a serious eff
fort to revise the Dingley tariff. The
President will insist upon reciprocity:
but there are many moderate and old
fashioned protectionists in his party who
are convinced OF the propriety of moder-
ating tariff rates, especially on trust

skill of which Mr.. Mckinley Is coa-
fessed master to keep Congress from
breaking away from control when the
inevitable tariff discussions shall be be

The Russians have always been cele-
! brated for. their courtesy and hospitality,
and curious example of these attributes
has just occurred in Constantinople. Many
years ago some English children living
in house In a prominent position on the
Bosphorus used to wave to an officer on a
Russian volunteer ship whenever she
passed. Gradually other Russian vessels
took il up till every naval or volunteer
ship made 4 point on passing the house
of whistling until someone came out and
waved. AS the children in time grew up
the custom was dropped. until one day the
Russian Ambassador. Mr., Nelioff. sent a
message, asking that 1t might be contin-
ued, as all the Russian sailors thought
the welcome brought them good luck, and
looked forward to 1t on arriving or leav-
ing the Bosphorus. So 1t began again. the
Russian Ambassador himself being most
particular never to pass the house with
out exchanging the usual salutations.
Curiously enough. during the many
wears this had gone on. the Russians had
never met any Of the English family. Last
week when the Grand Duke Alexander
Michalovich was passing down the Bos-
phorus in the gunboat TohernomoritZ the
captain asked his permission to whistle as
usual. and the grand duke entered into
the proceedings, waving heartily himself.
on finding that none of the officers were
acquainted with the English family. he
told them they ought to call and thank
them, and do something to show how
much they appreciated the welcome. Two
or three days afterward a deputation of
officers In uniform arrived at the house
and begged the ladies to spend a day on
the gunboat. When they went they had
most enjoyable time, and were enter
tanned in the most royal manner by the
officers and their wives In the ward room,
the captain and his wife being guests also.
After dinner the captain made speech
and referred to the friendly salutes.
which. he declared. had cheered many a
sailors heart when going out into the
Black Sea, and helped to generate kind
ly feeling toward the whole English ma

ATTACKED BY A TIGER.
Proprietor of the indianapolis Zoo Has His
Face Lacerated and His Arm and
Leg Badly Mangled.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 13.--Frank
c. Bostock, proprietor of the ZOO in
this city was Friday attacked and
dangerously injured by the tiger Ra-
iah, which few weeks ago tore an
employe of the ZOO to pieces. The an
imals have been undergoing a course
of training for the Buffalo exposition
and Mr.. Bostock came here from Bal
timore to direct the work. Bostock
wore heavy wire mask over his head
and neck and carried a revolver and
club. The animal was cowed into
submission while in the arena and was
finally released and started toward
his cage. the route being a winding
passageway that extended from the
arena back to the rear of the cages.
While Bostock and the tiger were
in this narrow passageway the animal
suddenly jumped for Bostock and
sunk his fangs in the trainers left
arm. The force of the blow threw
Bostock to the floor. Then the tiger
tore at the mask, his teeth going
through and tearing Bostock's face
in terrible manner. He was unable
to use his revolver and shouted SOr
help. Capt. Bonavita, another train
er, rushed to Bostock's assistance and
drove the tiger into the cage. Bos-
tock's right foot and leg are badly
injured and he may lose his left arm.

y IMMIGRATION FACTS.
Washington Officials Say a Better Glass of
Foreigners Are Coming to Our Shores
Italians Going South.

Washington. April 13.-Officials of
the immigration bureau say the recent
announcement of the arrival of 1900
Italians on a single ship carries moth
ing that is alarming in connect ion,
with the Immigration problem. EX-
perts of the government who have fol-
lowed the matter say that some of
the best immigrants which are coming
into this country are those from
northern Italy. They come from a
warm, sunny climate, and find homes
in the southern states. They are nat
ural agriculturists. and with the per-
fected method of truck gardening in
Italy and the improved and broader
opportunities orfered by the big, plan
tations in the south, they become de-
sirable residents. The emigration
from Ireland or the British isles has
almost disappeared. When asked as
to the reason of this, the immigration
officials say that there are few Irish
who could comply with the immigra-
tion laws of the United States left in
that country, as the population has
dwindled from 100000 to less than
half that number. The few emigrants
from Ireland come from the city of
Dublin, and they seek homes in the
where relatives have preceded them.

HIS KINGDOM RESTORED.
Thu Rashid Regains Control of Neid, Gem
tral Arabia, After Defeating His Old
Enemy, Sheik Mabaronk.

Bombay, April 13--Ibu Rashid has
recovered the kingdom of Nejd, CEN
tAll Arabia, after defeating Maba-
ronk, sheik of Koweyt, who recently
seized the city of Nejd and deposed
Ibu Rashid after pitched battle. The
army of Mabaronk was lured into a
narrow gorge, where the hordes of
Ibu Rashid swooped down from the
mountains and overwhelmed their en-
emies. The fugitives who have
reached gulf ports declare that 5000
men were killed. The fate of Maba-
ronk is not known.
1t was announced in dispatch
from Bombay, March s, to the Associa-
ted press, that Mabaronk, the sheik
of Koweyt, was then master of cen
trail Arabia, Mabaronk having fol-
lowed up his previous victory over the
army of Ibu Rashid by driving the
defeated troops clear across central
Arabia, seizfng the city of Nejd and
deposing Ibu Rashid. The latter ap-
pealed to the sultan of Turkey to
send troops from Bussorah, n frontier
city of Asiatic Turkey, to his assist
ance, threatening to stop the overland
pilgrimages to Mecca if he was not
helped by Turkey.

LOOMS TALKS TOO MUCH.
Administration Embarrassed by Various In
terviews Purporting to Emanate from
the Minister to Venezuela.

Washington, April 13.-The various
interviews ascribed to Minister Loo
mis- at San Juan have attracted much
attention here and the minister prob
ably will be invited to explain some
of his utterances if he is not able to
enter broad denial of the accuracy of
the interviews. Reflections upon the
personal character of the president
of Venezuela are not regarded as
proper, according to official etiquet.
and it is hoped that the minister
will be able to repudiate these. Other
wise. it would be manifestly impossi-
bic for him to return to Venezuela,
even in the event that the issues
which led to his departure were salts
factorily composed. The prevalent
idea is that no matter how these
personal questions are settled. it win
be long time before a United State 5
minister resumes the post at Caracas.

ANOTHER PARDONED.
Gov. Stanley Believes in Rewarding Pris-
oners Who Render Services to the
State at Critical Moments.

Topeka, Kan, April 13.-Gov. Stan
ley conmuted the jail sentence of
Abe Cottrell. of Seneca. iCottrell was
sent to Jail in February for a term of
six months for selling liquor. \ few
weeks later he frustrated n Jail de-
livery scheme. The matter was pre-
sented to the governor and, as re-
ward for his services, the governor
commuted Cottrelfs sentence to three
months. He will get out soon. The
action of the governor in this case
is in line with a policy adopted by
him some time ago to reward convicts
and prisoners for daring and valuable
services rendered ito the state. 1t was
under this plan that the convicts who
rebuilt the mine shaft, hazardous
job, were given their freedom. and
that the negro who helped to quell
the mutiny in the prison mine was
freed

WANT CLAUSE DROPPED.
Rule of the Presbyterian Church Relating
to the Marriage of q Sister-in-Law
Will Probably BE Changed.

+ Omaha, Neb., April 13t-By vote
of 16 to 4 the Omaha presbytery OF
the Presbyterian church agreed to
recommend that the sister-in-law
clause be dropped from the church
rules. The clause which has just been
eliminated provides that relatives
marrying are to be considered the
same as blood relatives when matri-
mony is contemplated. In other
words, the sister of mans dead wife
is to be regarded in the same light
as his own sister and his relation to
her is a bar to marriage under the
church laws.

GEORGE CANNON DEAD.
Famous Mormon "Prophet" Passed Away
at Monterey, Cal, and His Body
Shipped to Salt Lake City.

Monterey, CAL, April 13.--George Q.
Cannon, the Mormon prophet, is dead.
The end came early Friday morning.
The patient breathed his last without
a struggle. The body was shipped to
San Francisco to be embalmed and re-
shipped to Salt Lake City, where the
interment will take place. Deceased
was about rs years of age.
George Q. Cannon was born in En-
gland, January II, 1927. He came TO
America in 1874 and was ordained an
elder of the Mormon church in 1S45.
In 1916 he joined the main body of
the Mormons from Nauvoo, Ill.,, on
the way to Utah, and reached here in
1S47. In 1880 he was made member
of the quorum of the II apostles. He
was a delegate in congress from 1872
to 1880, and was one of the counselors
to the president of the Mormon
church. He was connected with many
of the business enterprises of the
state. He was an irreconcilable Nor.
mon and did not give in to The Ed.
munds bill. An attempt was made tc
arrest him, but he jumped from q
moving train on which two United
States marshals had him prisoner
Later he jumped $4,000 bond. He
afterward conformed outwardly to the
anti-polygamy law. In 1872 when Mr.
Cannon was elected a delegate from
the territory of Utah to the house
of representatives his seat was con
tested on the ground that he was a
Mormon and a polygamist. In the
period from 1873 to 1882 his continued
presence in congress in spite of his
polygamy was the storm center of
wave of popular opposition and pas
sion.

ers with a Grievance Will Walk Out
In Few Hours.

workers in the history of the business

latest to present a grievance. They
went s14so per kiln, or about 81 per
day. Dissatisfaction seems rampant
in all departments and Saturday may
bring the fated move that will para
lyze business here for some time to
come. If the men decide to strike,
workers all over the country, number.
ing 10000, will quit work.

NO SALT FAMINE.
Enough In the State of New York to Supply
the World for 100000 Years,
Says an Expert.

Washington, April 13.-The salt in
dustry of the country received the at
tention of the industrial commission
yesterday, Archibald S. White, presi-
dent of the National Salt company,
being the witness. He said that the
annual consumption of salt in the
United States amounts to about 49,
900 barrels, of which the National
company supplied last year between
100000 and 100000 barrels. He
said his organization had taken in &c
plants, of which six had been closed.
He also stated that the object of
effecting the consolidation had been
economical. Mr.. White said that there
is salt enough in the state of New
York to supply the world for 100000
Years.

Mrs. Nation left the room. While
the association was killing time. one
demure little woman arose to make

her talk with the statement that she
always lost her breath for moment
when starting to address an audience.
