Experiments with Food.

Chief Wiley, of the bureau of chemis-
try of the agricultural department, has
commenced series of experiments on
II young men for the purpose of testing
the physiological effects of the use of
the meat preserved with boray and other
chemicals. The experiments will be
made with view to deciding what basis
there is for The objection of the German
government to American meats on the
ground that the boraX and other chemi-
Gals used in their preservation are inju-
rlous to public health. The men he has
selected are young and vigorous. Each
has pledged himself during the period
the tests are to last to abstain from food
and drink except as it may be permitted
by Professor Wiley. Six of them will
be fed on "pure" foods, untreated meats
and vegetables, while the other six will
partake of the same fare submitted to
chemical treatment This arrangement
will continue for about two weeks and
then the government boarders will
change their diet, those not eating chem
really ueateu lOOu duOptlDS eucn
regime while the Others get untreated
ratons, and at the end of two weeks
reversing their diet again, The men will
be weie he'd before each meal and careful
notes will be taken of their appearance
each day.
Profess or Wiley in speaking of the
experiments, said: 1.-The best food OBJ
tainable will be given to the boys. The
fare will not be lavish, but will lie above
that of the average boarding house and
will include all the vegetables and meats
of the season. The young men will get
their food without cost for year or
more

Vermonts Postal Facilities in

Eighty years have wrought remark
able changes in the postal facilities of
Vermont, as shown by old postal records
of 1922, when there were 1853 post.o offices
in the state, as against 555 and 10 sub
stations to day, and when there was an
nually paid by the citizens of the state
on the postage of letters, papers, and
pamphlets only about 500 900, represent
ing about one.fourth the amount paid
to day for salaries in the 46 presidential
officer in Vermont.
A postmaster's compensation in 1922
and long afterward, was fixed on the
basis of 30 per cent on the first 800 and
20 per cent on the next $500. Brattle-
boro then paid the largest salary of any
office in the state, Asa Green receiving
$629.S9 annually, while Ephraim Mills,
Burlington's postmaster, received but
$333.S4. William Haswell, of Benning-
ton, son of the old post-master-genera
Anthony Haswell received $234.3S
George Cleveland, of Middlehury, second
in the list, was paid S401 .05, nearly 5000
more than Reuben r. Thrall. of Rutland,
received as an annual compensation for
conducting one of the most important
offices in the state. The salary of Will
liam M. Keyes, of Swanton, was but
$l57.57, and that of William r. Rixby,
of Vergennes, $ll9.11, while the popular
Thomas Beaverett, of Windsor, took
$3l6.75, and Alexander Hutchinson, of
Woodstock, just half as much.
At that time there were just two for
eign-born pOstmasters in the lot, both
coming from Scotland, 90 hailing from
Massachusetts,, and "a from Connecticut
while the remaining postmasters were
either natives of this state or New Hamp-
shire. To-day there is one office, Bur-
lington, to which the handsome salary of
$1,000 attaches, the next highest being
that of Rutland 81 500, while two post
masters are paid $4,000 each

1t will be good news to the mothers OF
small children to learn that Group can be
prevented. The first sign of Group is hoarse-
ness. y day or two before the attack the
child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed
by peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lains Cough Remedy freely as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough
cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms
of Group. In this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands OF mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the only

NOW UP TO COUNCILS.
Recorder Connell Says Hayes & Sons
Refusal Of City Bonds Is q
Matter for Legislation.

Action on the refusal of Hayes &
Sons, of Cleveland to take the s2S5,0O0
issue of city bonds, which was award
ed them, is now up to councils. Re-
corder William L. Connell was in con-
ference, a good part of yesterday and
Monday, with City Solicitor George M.
Watson, and the heads of the city de-
partment, and the matter was given full
discussion.
AS the Ohio firm has been allowed
ample time to definitely decide upon its
| course of action, and notify the city
| whether or not it will take the bonds,
which were formally rendered them,
| two weeks ago, it seems to the muni-
cipal authorities that it is now time for
the city to take the initiative, in in
stituting vigorous steps.
"There are no new developments In
the matter" Recorder Connell remark
ed yesterday to a Tribune man. "It will
now be given over to councils for fur
ther action" There is possibility
that a communication will be submit
ted by the recorder touching upon
Hayes e. Sons refusal, at the meeting
of councils tomorrow night. 1t is the
regular meeting of select, and a special
meeting of common will be held. Ac-
tion can be taken on it In one of the
branches, and the communication can
then Immediately so over to the other
branch
The recorder will probably, recon-
mend that the bonds be sold on Hayes
& Sons account and that if any loss is
entailed the city shall proceed to make
even by retaining the $4,000 forfeit post
ed by the successful bidder, or so much
of it as may be necessary to make up
| the loss.

SCOTT A COOL ONE.
Expressed Regret That His Victim
Was Not Dead-Troubled Only
About His Dress.

For crJl effrontery and iron, nerve,
Frank Scott the colored man from
Paterson, N. j., who was arrested here,
Monday night, charged with murder
ously assaulting Newton Beckett, comes
pretty near to being the limit.
Although the chances are almost GER
tain that when he is taken back to
Paterson he will be arraigned in the
Jersey courts for murder, he is not in
the least afraid. The only thing which
worried him yesterday was Beau
Brummel-lke aversion to leaving his
cell, before he had donned another suit
of clothes.
He was arraigned before Judge H. NJ
Edwards, and committed to the custody
of Sheriff Schadt, pending the arrival
of requistion papers from Paterson.
Detective John II. Taylor, of Paterson,
and John jackson an eyewitness of
identified Scott.
The latter, does not deny his guilt.
He shot Beckett as the result of quar-
rel over a disreputable woman, and,
according to the Paterson accounts,
did SO in very cold-b -blooded manner.
He calmly entered his house and secur-
ing a revolver, came back and shot
Beckett three times through the head.
Beckett wasn't lacking in nerve either.
for after being shot, he turned, entered
his own house, climbed two flights of
steps, and only fell after he had en-
tered his own room. His recovery is
dispaired Of. One shot struck him in
the mouth, and another entered his
right cheek.
Scott lost no time in leaving Pater-
son., and walked and ran thirty-five
miles to Boonton, whence he came here.
His revolver was found in local pawn
shop. Yesterday morning he remarked
to Detective Deter, Dat fellows dead
all right, amt he, boss"
mo, not yet" he answered. "You
don't say so! Well, If that amt
too bad" Scott commented with re-
gretful nod of his head. Say, boss
he continued II amt no bad man. OATS
de fus' quarrel I've had in ovuh twelve
yeahs. De las one was when l was
| in de navy. l lef' my marks on dat
| Liankety blank dawg.
"And even If dis yere man Beckett
gets well, III have lef' my marks on
him. Why yo' ought to have heard
what he called me. 1 JUS couldn't
stand 1t, dats all. And, whensI get to
fighting I'm a regular debbil. Use nc
Paterson man. Use been livin' there
only a shot while. and / suttinly be-
lieve dat If hadn't lef dere as soor
as I~tiid, I'd been lynched
"They was too much style about me
for those Paterson niggers. l used to
change my clothes three times a day
and they used to say i was a .ude and
KEEP right on a knocking me-" lie
claims he shot in self defense.
| Scott was measured yesterday by the
Bertillon system. He is about feet
s inches tall. and very heavily built
weighing over one hundred and ninety
pounds.

Tickets Bought in scalpers' Offices
Refused for Passage.

Tickets sold in Chicago recently for
passage to New York and return at
reduced rate have in them clause
that they are good only for the orig
inal purchaser and the courts have de-
cided that in consideration of the re-
duced rate such a clause is legal. TWO
passengers were refused passage on
Monday night by the New York Cen
trail on tickets which they purchased
at scalping office, the parties repre-
senting themselves as I. j. and f. j.
Livingston, but when required to sign
their names they acknowledged that
their names We're not Livingston, de-
MED that they purchased their tickets
at the place mentioned and with their
friends Immediately left the Grand
Central Station to see If they could not
get their money backs 1t was simply
one more evidence of the foolishness OF
buying tickets at a slight reduction at
scalping offices and undertaking to use
them by impersonating other people.
A great deal of unnecessary loss and
inconvenience to passengers Is caused
by the manipulation of tickets of this
kind by scalpers, and the people are
beginning to learn that they are liable
to delay and loss in buying tickets
from unauthorized persons.-From the
Commercial Advertiser, New York, July
Gath, 1902.

G. All men now on "waiting list" who
were on waiting list' prior to Septem-
Der Goth. 1901, shall remain on "waiting
list" until regular runs can be provided
for them, but with the understanding that
they are either to be provided with regu-
lar runs promptly on the ending of the
present coal strike, or, If regular runs
cannot then be provided for them, the
company at that time shall commence
to pay each of these men on the "wait-
ing list" in addition to what he Is then
earning, an amount equal to the differ
ence between what he is then earning
and the rate he would receive for regu-
lar run, until such time as a regular run
is provided for him.
Z. The men now on the waiting list"
are to be called for performance of extra
work in regular rotation.

WHAT IT MEANS.
The award is decision in favor of
the men. 1t practically says:
1.-The eX-strikers shall have pre-
cedence in the matter of regular runs.
2.-1f the company wants to keep
faith with the imports, by not tax.
ing them off the regular runs, 1t will
have to pay the forty-five ex-strikers
now on the waiting list, the same wages
as they would earn if they had regular
runs.
3.-Men on the waiting list" who
were on the waiting list" before the
strike will have to be content with the
waiting list" until business picks up
after the ending of the miners strike.
The men would have been-better salts
fed if the arbitrators had ruled that
the imports should at once go on
the waiting list" They don't like
the idea of seeing these imports on
regular runs while union men are re-
legated to the waiting list, even though
these relegated men are making as
good wages as those who work regular
ly.
The company believes the arbitrators
went too far, in prescribing what
should and what should not be done,
when they were only called upon. to
interpret the meaning of a clause.
Both sides, however, agreed to abide
by the decision of the arbitrators, and
the arbitrators have decided

RUMoRs CAUSED TROUBLE.
Members of Thirteenth Reported at
the Armory.

The fake rumors circulated about the
city yesterday to the effect that the
Thirteenth regiment had been ordered to
the front resulted in a great deal of
last night at the armory,
where large number Of the soldier
boys reported for duty.
Nearly all the members of Company
X and d were present, as we'll as a
fairly large representation from the
other commands. Second Lieutenant
John NJ. Edwards, of Company x, was
called up by phone yesterday afternoon
by some practical joker, impersonating
an officer of the regiment, who inform
ed him that the Thirteenth was ordered
out, and asked him to attend to the
notifying of the men of his company.
Strenuous efforts We're made last night
to discover who the perpetrator of the
joke was, but his identity could not be
discovered.
The men were informed that the
rumors We're false Immediately on their
arrival at the armory, and left again
for home many of them cursing softly
at the trouble to which they had been
put.
