At the annual meeting of the Min

Supt. Race has been President Of

of the larger organization. He prob
ably would have been named last
year had it not been for the fact
that he was a candidate for superin-

the nominating committee thought
il then unwise to name any of the
candidates for superintendent for
the position of President for the
reason that it might be taken as a

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 29.-The
investigation being made by the reve-
nue. officers in Cincinnati of the alleged
practice of large number of whole
sale whisky houses in putting on the
market what is known to the trade and
government service as dumped
goods" promises to bring forth many
reievations as to the extensive busi-
ness which has been carried on in this
class of goods.
A number OF special agents from the
internal revenue department at WASH
ingtoR have been in the city for a week,
and in connection with. the office force
of Collector Bernard Bettmann have
been making a thorough investigation
of the methods used by several whisky

Italy May Go to War With Turkey.
ROME, Nov. 29.-Italy is pouring
more war vessels into the Red sea and
promises to clear it of pirates, whether
Turkey objects or not. The govern
ment says Turkey, though nominal
lord of the Red sea, is unable to pro-
tect commercial interests there, as she
has no navy. The greatest coast trad
er in the Red sea being Italy, she must
create order out of chaos, Meanwhile
the sultan is keeping the wires hot
with notes of protest, but Victor EN-
anueI sees an opportunity for adver-
tising his navy and has issued vigorous
orders to the commanders of his war
ships, that continue to menace Turkish
fortresses, to scuttle piratical craft
and hang pirates wherever caught.
Some of the pirates executed proved
to be refugees from the Italian penal
colonies.

Girls Who Are in the Life

Employed in City Hdll and
Court House.

Woman with her pluck and persever-
ance has stormed the citadel of labor
in st. Paul until now she is supreme in
many of its branches, but it is a curious
fact that few of the sex have invaded
that select and exclusive circle known
as the city employees.
That big pile of granite at Fourth
and Wabasha streets, known as the
city hall and court house houses over
800 persons, humans who daily toll that
the business of a large municipality
may proceed without interruption, but
of the entire 300 only II are women.
Two years ago there were double this
number, but -Hynen and designations

PARIS, Nov. 29.-The hotel proprie-

men returned from ix-les-Bains, tell
wondrous stories of the munifeence
of Mr. Schwab, who, before going to
Cannes, kept the town open three
weeks after the baths had officially

pole would leave for Greenland and
King Williams land in the spring of
next year, with Capt. Amundsen as
leader. The expedition will go as far
west as possible and return via Berfng

eight scientists in the party.
Equality for All Religions.
BUDAPEST, Nov. 29.-Baron Banf-

against the decentralization of
Hungary" continues to be the sole
topic Of conversation. If the laws of
184S, granting all religions and sects
equal rights, are carried out as
Banffy threatens to do, the present
vigorous propaganda of the Roman
church will have to be abandoned.
Banffy charges that the Roman church
fayors Austria to the detrirnent of
Hungary and says Hungary's future
depends on her adherence to the Pro-

vegetables, meats and certain kinds
of fruit may be canned in tin without
the least detriment to the health of
the consumer. If people eating canned
goods are poisoned, the goods are to
blame, not the tin. At the same time
it should be prohibited by law to can
