CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT
FOOD ADULTERATION
DR.. Wiley Gives Testimony
Before Committee.
No Product of Grape Contained in "Ohio
Wine"-Sugar and Flour
Chemically Pure.

The House Committee on Commerce
Yesterday listened to a most Interesting
statement in regard to the processes OF
food authorizations made by DR.. H. W.
Wiley, Chief OF the Bureau of Chemistry
of the Department of Agriculture.
OF the several pure food bills before
the committee DR.. Wiley favored the
Hepburn measure as calculated to secure
the best results.
Glucose Not Unwholesome.
DR.. Wiley said he had been experiment
ing and making Investigations in food
products for more than ten years. and
that an appropriation had been made by
Congress TO carry on the work. He ex-
hibited great variety of canned goods,
Jams, jellies. wines, and syrups. and ex-
planned their analysis to the committee.
DIR. Wiley said he had long ago taken
the position that glucose which is used in
food authorizations is q wholesome food
product. His position, he declared. had at
first made him unpopular but now his
contention was admitted.
Exhibiting several kinds of jellies, DR..
the peelings and cores of apples. and
contained about 30 per cent Of glucose
and were Favored by chemical process to
represent different kinds OF fruits. but in
fact they were all made of the same in
gradients.
The by-products OF the apples from
which they are made, he added. are
ba caI in ba ma X
ing of champagne.
Components of "Ohio Wine"
DIR. Wiley next produced an "Ohio wine."
which. he said. analysis showed was made
Of coal tar dye, alcohol, and sugar; it con-
tanned absolutely none of the products OF
the vine.
So far as -four and sugar were con-
cerned. DIR. Wiley said these two products
are not adulterated. statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding. These two
products are too cheap in themselves to
aduIterate. Both cane and beet sugar. he
said. were chemically pure. but it was al
most impossible to distinguish the Diff
ference when the sugar is refined.
DR.. Wiley stated that in the manu-
facture of some kinds of molasses the
salts of tin are used to give bright color.
This is poisonous. He described at some
length the process of making molasses.
Cooking Lost Art.
During his testimony DR.. Wiley paid his
compliments to the chefs of :he country
as well as to the average housewife by
saying that the art of cooking is becom-
ing lost art. If. indeed, it had ever
been discovered
DR.. Wiley will continue his statement
today.

Industry in South Carolina by Retain
ing the War Tax on Tea-A Viva
Voce Vote.

vote. No opposition was made by either
Republicans or Democrats, and no amend
ments were offered.
Early Adjournment Probable.
cial appropriation and other bills by the
Senate is almost without a precedent. 1t
is this that causes Senator Hale to make
the prediction that there will be hnal
adjournment early in June, instead Of In
July. as usual.
The bill came up yesterday morning.
but was postponed at that time until
later in the day. In it's early considera-
Hoar. Mr.. Aldrich announced that any
amendments would be opposed.
Would Not Insist.
Mr.. Hoar had favored an amendment
refunding the amounts now in the Treas
ury arising from the tax on charitable
bequests. but said that under the circum-
stances he would not insist In explana-
tion. Mr.. Aldrich announced that the
pending bill repeaIs all of the war taxes
of 1898, and that only the bucket shop
tax of 1901 is retained
The committee amendments were then
agreed to.
At BIS o'clock the measure was taken
up again, and Mr.. Tillman made the only
speech either for or against it. He said
that he was very glad that the provisions
of the bill were general, and announced
that he would vote for it. He said he
would not obstruct 1t by an amendment,
although he found one objection to its
provisions.
A Struggling Industry.
There is an infant industry Of tea
growing in South Carolina, which is strug-
Cling for existence. The revenue derived
from the tax is only 5000. .000''
Mr.. Tillman urged that il the Republi-
cans are honest in their theory of pro-
lection. and the revenue is not needed.
they should let the tax remain on tea, and
take off that on some Of the larger and
older Industries. The tax on tea was the
only tariff item in the bill.
When he had concluded, the Chair for
mally put the question of the passage Of
the bill. and with almost complete silence
On both sides of the chamber 1t was de-
clared passed.

THE LONE F1sHERMAN's JOKE
Thought the Yacht Slow Enough to
Be an Old One.

One summer Mr.. Charles Wyngate,
of the Bellows stock company, Wash
ington, hired a yacht. AS he described
it, it was a craft without a rival in
slow progression.
With few friends he set sail from
New York and proceeded by way of the
Sound on a cruise. They kept close to
the shore and d week or two later,
after they had left the port, were lazily
drifting by a point of land, at the end
of which sat a solitary man fishing.
In few hours the boat passed the
point and the fishern an was seen to
rouse himself from the contemplation
of his rod.
where We from?'' he called genially.
New York" replied Wyngate, with
a yachtsman's pride.
"Hc<v long?"
Sunday, August l."
The fisherman returned to his fishing
and the yacht kept on drifting. Some
hours later there came a drawing voice
over the quiet water, and it asked:
What year?''

SOME MANSFIELD GOSSIP.
Rude to One Actor But Kind to the
Multitude

A new story about Mansfield is being
gossiped along the Rialto. 1t seems
that the other evening, after the per-
Torrance, Mansfield and a friend We're
enjoying little chat in a corner of
the Lambs club grill room. An Eng
lish actor, to whom fate is kind In
that his name is carefully concealed
IN this instance, tapped Mansfield on
the shoulder and said:
Here's a good American I want you
to meet"
Mansfield, sitting as if carved from
stone, said in his iciest manner:
m delighted to meet him. VIII he

his friend beat the hasty retreat which
Mansfield desired.
But Mansfield is not always so cool
to members of his profession. He
arranged last week for a benefit for
the Actors fund, which was one of the
most remarkable ever given in that
city. He contributed his own services
and that of the members of his COM

The French Author, Richepin, Claims
the Rights to "Du Barry"

Elizabeth Marbury, representing Jean
Richepin, has been talking with regard
to the latter's suit against David Be-
lasco on the charge of having utilized
portions of the Frenchman'S ''Du
Barry in the play Mrs. Carter is act
ing in the Criterion, New York.
She says that Richepin's manuscript,
returned by Belasco, contains notes and
mem oranda in the way of sugges tons
to the author that, considered in con-
nection with the play in the Criterion,
prove beyond question that the French
mans matter had been utilized. A
charge of this kind is not a novelty to
Belasco, who has been in more than
one lawsuit of the kind threatened by
Richepin, who meanwhile is keeping
tabs on Mrs. Carriers receipts. And
these receipts, it may be said in pass
ing, are more than common tall-that
is, if they were stacked. The craze to
see Mrs. Carter in her latest manifeS-
tation of manufactured histrionism is
unprecedented.

not be found for quite a while. The

much annoyed, chiefly on Mr.. Stod-

been prepared he found Mr.. Stoddart
seated in a railway lunch room reading
a paper, with the two little girls of the
company wrapped in his overcoat and
