FIGHTING THE SILK CASES.
Roscnthais Counsel Want TO Inspect Grand
Jury Minutes.

The attorneys for Abraham s. Rosenthal.
Mart in J.. Cohn and United States Examiner
Charles G. Browne. who were indicted last
week for silk frauds against the Govern
ment, served notice in the United States
Court yesterday that before their clients
plead the defence will move for leave to
inspect the Grand Jury minutes and prob
ably will move later TO set the indictments
aside az illegal Frank II, Plat, for the
accused importers, stated that the grounds
for the motions would be that improper
evidence was submitted to the jury and
also that w Wickham Smith, the Assistant
Attorney General who is prosecuting the
silk cases is receiving HIS pay not from
the Government, but largely from Rosen-
thai 4 Co.'s business rivals and some of
their enemies. The improper evidence,
he said, was a letter y-itten to former
Appraiser Wakeman by Godfrey Bloch, in
which Bloch is reported to have charged
conspiracy against the defendants. The
prosecution expected to produce Bloch
before the Grand Jury to identify the letter,
but he was out of town.
Judge Thomas said he would hear the
motions and argument on some later day

Several hundred years ago two men
were tried, found guilty and executed
at Durham, England, on no stronger
evidence than the statement of a
ghost which appeared at night in
mill, with her hair hanging about
her head, in which were five bloody
wounds" The manner of her death,
the place where coal pick had been
hid, and the guilty men, were all de-

means by which these people live. the

LESSON OF The eoER WAR.
Financial Newspaper Explains Why
Such Vast Sum Was Spent.

In England financiers are figuring
up the cost of the South African war
in money alone. These calculations
are more trustworthy than those
which were made while the war was
in progress, even in it's closest stages,
for these were more or less affected
by craftsmanship. After surveying the
field of expenditures very carefully
the Statist comes to the conclusion
that Great Britain spent upon the war
23O.00O,000 pounds ($1, 15O, 200, 00O).
This sum, the Statist says, lis consid-
erably more than the vast war indem-
nifty which Germany exacted from
France thirty years ago." The moral
the Statist sees in these figures is that
the "unpreparedness" of Great Brit
an for the task of conquering two
small South African republics cost
her far more than the most elaborate
and careful reorganization of her mill
tary system could possibly have en-
tailed.-Boston Transcript

MINT Maneuxers.

Owing to the state of perfection to
which firearms have been brought.
and the universal use of smokeless
gunpowder, the German military ex-
perts are mostly of opinion that the
great wars of the future will be fought
entirely at night. as only under cover
of darkness will it be possible to get
to close quarters with the enemy. Con-
sequently in the German army the
maneuvers now take place almost en-
tirely at night The captive balloons
play a very important part on these
occasions, for in the cage of each
balloon is powerful searchlight
which sweeps the country for miles
around. and makes the enemy visible
at a distance of four miles, while the
occupants of the balloon are in tele-
graphic communication with their
army, and keep them advised as to the
movements of the enemy.

Seventeenth Century silver.

The art of bygone days has not yet
been improved upon by our cleverest
silversmiths and designers. For what
excels a seventeenth-century benitier
of silver lately picked up in Rome-an
angel in high relief is fastened against
the door, and in his extended hand he
holds the chains from which a silver
vase for the holy water hangs The de-
sign is wholly charming, and the more
it is studied the more one wonders
why these simple, natural expressions
of art are not reproduced by the TWEEN
teth-century artisan 1t is wondered
also how many fair and slender fingers
touched the water contained in that
silver bowl. and what blessings went
with the drops which some devout lady
often scattered on her brow, but at all
events there must linger some sweet
ness in receptacle so appealing to
the religious and artistic sense.

The women are showing strong signs

Nearly every man is carrying either
a bundle or a roll of blankets, and as
long as the weather holds as it is they

DOukh obors asked for special train

All their funds have been given to
Mr.. Crearer, the local immigration
agent, who has now upward up $4,000

ceeds of the sale of their stock. One

drew his monthly salary of $40 and
deposited it and refused to work any

few weeks ago letters were sent
TO all the states in South America by
the Doukhobors asking if they could
form colony. 1t was stated that they
would lead good lives, although they
would not agree to conform strictly
with the laws of the government or
with the religion Of the country.
Rubbers are now at a premium in

Ways Swine Get tuberculosis.

Occasionally barrow is found with
tuberculosis of the scrotum, says DIR.
S. Stewart. 1t is not rare to find sow
with this disease in one or more OF the
teats, usually one, sometimes two, and
in no other part of the body, showing
that the infection was from virus
getting into that particular part
There are other sources and ways of
infection, but those given are the
most common. When once the disease
is introduced into the herd, then it
is readily propagated from the dis
eased to the healthy, and thus the in
fected animal becomes a source of
further distribution of the disease.
There is much interest to be taken
in the channels of the body through
which these germs may find entrance
and the tissue in which they may
propagate. Close observation shows
that most cases are infected through
the structures of the throat. You re-
call what the tonsil is in your own
throat. Swine have a similar struc-
ture in their throat, and just beyond
these tonsils or in relation to them,
there are structures known as lymph
ganglia, or glands, or kernels. These
lymph ganglia are simply centers
along the course of little vessels which
lead from the tissues in all parts of
the body to the central blood stream.
and, next to the tonsilar disturbances,
the disease is found in these glands,
at the angle of the jaw, just inside. In
the government inspection these
glands are carefully examined, and it
is surprising to note the large num-
Der that are found to be diseased.
Finding it there calls for investigation
all over the body.

In Canada they are discussing the
proposition of licensing cheese fac
tories. In Minnesota the licensing of
buttermakers is being discussed. 1t
is not improbable that the license
question will before long assume con-

1t is certain that we have butter-mak-
ers, cheese-makers, butter factories
and cheese factories that would be

might include also the professional
users OF the Babcock test. Some Of
the men that are now making butter
and cheese certainly could not obtain

If they could not In some OF our
factories the owners make the plea
that If they had to have things in .
sanitary condition they would not be
able to run their establishments, as
they have no capital with which to
make extensive changes in their
buildings and machinery Very well,
then, let them shut up and leave the

able fencing. We soon found that
while they do not jump they are good
climbers and that they viii 60 over
any fence the top of which they can
reach with the fore feet. The horns
ON some of the ewes point backward

wire fence with square openings even

get hung by their horns With this
kind of a fence it was necessary to

they did but little clearing up. In

Losses of Sheep from Parasites.


The greatest menace to sheep hus-
bandry. What is it? 1t ia not the
menace from the presence of dogs or
wolves, although in these, in some
states, is found a most serious men
ace. 1t is not in the liability to
change in tariffs, although this might
work great harm, according to the
nature of the change, writes Professor
Thomas Shaw in American Sheep
Breeder. Nor is it even in the food
ing of the country with shoddy not
properly labeled. 1t is the increasing
losses in flocks in many sections from
the constantly increasing ravages of
parasites. These have multiplied IN
til they are source of losses which,
in certain areas, give cause to posi-
tive alarm. If it could be known
how many sheep in the United States
are lost every year through the preva-
lence of parasites the figures would be
startling.
1t would probably be correct to say
that nine-tenths of the losses of sheep
in this country every year arise from
one or the other of the various kinds
of parasites which select sheep for
their especial prey. These losses run
all the way from no loss at all in some
fiocks to very great loss in others.
The alarming feature of such loss
does not arise SO much from the num-
Der of the animals lost as from the
fact that those ailments are not well
understood; that is to say. they are
not well understood IN SO far as their
life history is concerned This is true
particularly Of tape worm in some OF
its forms, and also of stomach worms.
1t is not certainly known how those
parasites exist separate from the
sheep. AS long as such is the fact
just SO long will men work more or
less in the dark fighting these trou-
bies.
