Virginia women, who, under the

act as notaries public, are both puz

are required to take. This the oath
in addition to binding them to sup
port the new organic law, requires
them to swear that they have not
fought a duel or given or accepted a
challenge. 1t also makes them
pledge themselves that they will fight
no duel in the future.
The oath is a survival OF statute

all public officials, male and female

that many ladies will violate their
oaths on this subject.

ing of Hon. Palmer s. Mosely as gov
ernor Of the Chickasaw nation will
be personally investigated by Acting
United States Inspector ]. W. lever
ly at Tishomingo next Monday. The
basis for investigation is a claim
made by the Byrd faction that their
candidate, William L. Byrd, was reg

lowers took possession Of the capt.
tol building with Winchesters, denied
admission to the Byrd legislators and
Mosely was inaugurated. It is al
legged that at the irregularity Indian
Agent Shoenfelt, with Indian police,
were present. 1t Is also claimed they
were partly responsible for the seat
ing Of Mosely. Several witnesses in
this city have been summoned to APP

FOR PROTECTION OF BIRDS.
Advocated BY Prof. butcher, Of
New York.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Ameri-
can Ornithologists' union yesterday
decided to hold its next convention
at Philadelphia November 16, 1908.
Heretofore the meetings have been
held alternately at New York, WASH
ington and Baltimore. A motion to
hold a special meeting in California
in the interim was not acted on. The
old committee on bird protection was
reappointed with the addition Of Will
liam F. Miller, Of New Orleans, and
Prof. T. Gilbert Pearson, Of North
Carolina. Prof. William butcher, Of
New York, chairman Of the commit
tee on protection Of North Ameri-
can birds, advocated an international
conference for bird protection and
reviewed the history Of the move
ment in this country. He said there
are now "a Audubon societies and
that they should deal chiefly with the
100000 and more students In the
schools Of the country. The wom-
ems clubs, he said, could be made
powerful auxiliaries. The commit
tee reported that 10000 game birds,
mostly sandpipers, were killed re-

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.


Lansing, Mich, Nov. 21.-The re-
port of the committee on education
Of the National Grange, which was
referred back several days ago for
further consideration, was reported
out yesterday in amended form and
adopted after considerable discus
sion. The report adheres to the orig
inal Endorsement of centralized
schools, but exempts from its criti-
cism of agricultural colleges for fail
ure to fulfill their mission those in
Michigan, Kansas and Iowa. The re-
port of the committee on transporta-
ton, scoring the railroads for dis
elimination in freight rates and de-
handing legislation that will do
away with this evil, was adopted.
The question of the feasibility of or
ganizing life insurance company
under the direction of the National
Grange was referred to committee
to investigate and report next year.

attorney general the papers in the
case Of Father Augustine, who died
from the effects Of the "water cure"
administered by soldiers Of Yer
mont regiment, while serving in the
Philippines. Tho case has been thor
oughly Investigated by the Judge ad-
vocate general Of the army upon the
charges brought by Charles Francis
Adams, Herbert Welsh and others Of
what was known o. the Lake George
conference. II cannot be found that
any person now serving in the United
States army was responsible In any
way for the death of the friar and,
therefore, the persons cannot DO

ed that following the precedents
growing out Of other wars the at
torney general will render an opin-
ion that neither the courts in this
country nor those In the Philippines
have any Jurisdiction over the men
or officers who have been discharged
from the army. Capt. Brownell, q
volunteer officer who was in COM
mand Of the troops who administered
the water cure, has acknowledged
that the cure was administered and
that the man died. The courts Of
Vermont, 1t is said, have no jurisdic-
ton over him, nor have the local
courts in Manila, where the offense
was committed

FOOD EXPERIMENTS.
TWELVE VOLUNTEERS FOR TRIALS.


Washington, Nov. 21.-Prof. w. II.
Wiley, chief Of the bureau Of chemis-
try Of the agricultural department,
next Monday will begin q series Of
experiments on 10 young men In gov
eminent employ for the purpose Of
testing the physiological effects Of
the use Of meat preserved with
borax and other chemicals. The ex-
periments will be made with view
to deciding what basis there is for
the objections Of the German govern
ment to American meats on the
ground that borax and other chemi-
Gals used in ther preservation are in.
furious to public health. The IL
young men selected are volunteers
and all are young and vigorous. Each
has pledged himself during the Pc
Rod the tests are to last to abstain
from food and drink except as it may
be permitted by Prof. Wiley. They
are nearly all Of them employed in
the scientific bureaus of the agricul-
tural department. 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 will continue for about two
weeks and then the government
boarders will change their diet, those
not eating chemically treated food
adopting such regimen while the
others get untreated rations, and at
the end Of two weeks reversing their
diet again.
The men will be weighed before
each meal and careful notes will be
taken Of their appearance each day.
The last congress made an appropria-
ton and authorized the agricultural
TO conduct experiments
to discover what effect, If any, the
chemicals used on meat would have
on human beings. Prof. Wiley, in
speaking Of the experiments yester
day, said:
"The best food obtainable will DO
given to the boys. The fare will not
be lavish, but will be above that OF
the average boarding house and will
include all the vegetables and meats
Of the season. The young men who
will submit to the experiment have
taken oaths to abstain from all food
not prepared by us and ] have con
fidence in them. OF course 1t would
not do to give their Names They are

The item of free board will be big
one to them. They will get their
food without cost for year or more.
The experiments will be conducted
by the government to demonstrate
what effects borax, salicylic acid,
formaldehyde, benzoic acid, benzo-
lte of soda, sulphurous acid and
other chemicals used for preserving
'ood stuffs have on the health OF the
of such foods"

MRS. NATION AGAIN.
She Creates Z Scene At the New
York Horse Show.
4 TRADE TO LADIES IN The BOXES.


New York, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation created 9 sensation at the
horse show yesterday. She h.
rangued the great gathering on the
evils Of over-dress, attempted to
break bottle Of champagne and
finally was elected from the build
ing by the police. Mrs. Nation en-
tered the garden quietly and took
Q seat in the tier. She had been
there only few minutes when her
gaze rested on the box where some
members Of the Vanderbilt family
were sitting. She studied her pro-
gramme and then descended to the
promenade. Stationing herself in
front Of the Vanderbilt box she de-
livered q TRADE on over-dress. In
the box were seated Mrs. Alfred G.
Vanderbilt, Reginald Vanderbilt and
Miss Nicholson. Alfred G. Vanderbilt
was leaning against the rail of the
promenade and did not see Mrs. Ma
ton approach.
"You ought to be ashamed Of your
Selves" the woman screamed at
them. "You ought to be ashamed to
wear such disgraceful clothes. Take
them of, take them off, and attire
yourselves more modestly."
Alfred G.. Vanderbilt hastily left
his position at the rail and came over
to where Mrs. Nation was standing
and, wiping her forehead with a
handkerchief, he whispered some
thing in her ear and pushed her
away. The outburst Of the woman
attracted great crowd Of people
and the occupants Of the Vanderbilt
box were evidently very much embar-
raised. Mrs. Nation then turned her
attention to other boxes. Finally
she started for the cafe, where she
bore down on Q party Of men who
were drinking wine. Mrs. Nation
seized the bottle and, glazing at the
men, shouted: "Young men, don't
drink such filthy stuff. You are 60
ing straight TO hell. Where is the
man who sells the stuff? Show him
to me and will tell him what
think Of him."
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden arrival Of M.
Vile Pigue, the caterer at the gar
den.
Get out Of this horrible business"
she shouted at him. "You are also
going to hell and running the bodies
and souls Of men. You are dragging
them down with you. Shame on
you! Shame on you!"
The Frenchman, however, ran to
Mrs. Nation and rescued the bottle |
which she had repeatedly brandished |
in the air to emphasize her remarks. |
Then he pushed her out of the door.
Here the police took hold Of the
Kansas reformer and forced her out
Of the building.
