oLEoMAReARlNe PROHIBITED.
Dairy Commissioners May Prosecute
Those Who Serve II In State
Institutions.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. S.-Dairy com.
missioner Warren learned officially
that he really has a right to prosecute
the managers of state institutions in
cases where to the inmates oleomar'
garine is served in place of butter.
The ill-informed general public had
supposed all along that the commits.
sioner had unmistakable authority to
prosecute the offenders
Attorney General Carson has now
given Warren an opinion to the effect
that he can press this class Of cases
In the courts, and as a result, 1t is an
nounced, such suits will hereafter be
brought against all such violators Of
the oleo laws.
Warren recently brought suit against
the managers of the almshouses at
Wlllamsport and PunXsutawney for
feeding the inmates oleo, after which
the contention was raised by oleo ad-
vocates that he had exceeded his au-
thority.
He submitted the question to the at.
torney general, who furnished to him
a written opinion that the commission
er has ample grounds for prosecuting
managers of almshouses and penal
and charitable institutions receiving
state aid If they furnish oleo to their
wards, provided the charges can be
proved.

ReTmports Of American Cotton.

Weather, crop and trade conditions
are seasonably favorable, though ir'
regularity and weakness in some sta
pie prices reflect readjustments of con
sumption to enlarged production
Copious rains in the corn belt and in
the western portion of the cotton re
gion have removed some of the uneas
mess existing as to the outturn OF
these two great crops, and despite this
backwardness the outlook for general
trade has been measurably helped.
Cotton crop reports this week are
fully as favorable as at any previous
time, and an unquestionable gain in
condition Will probably be shown In
every state by the agricultural report
this week. Rains have benefited crops
in the Gulf states.
The first six months of 1903 wit
messed a record breaking production
of pig iron, and the same is true of the
fiscal year ending June 30.
The situation in the cotton goods
trade is apparently no clearer. July
delivery was this week pushed up tc
new records. Reimports of American
cotton from Europe are reported heavy
and large numbers of spindles are idle
the number in one branch of this in
dustry alone being given aC fully l.,

New Railroad to Anthracite Field.

Reading Pa, Aug. 3.-A mortgage
of $2,3OO,O0O was placed on record in
the court house here for the Reading,
Lancaster and Southern railroad to
build a line from Reading to Baltimore.
Isaac c. Spatz of this county is the
president and Sydney G. Long of Bal
timore is the secretary. The new
road will be so miles shorter to the
coal regions than any other route now
completed. Those interested say the
new line will have important connec-
tions. both at Baltimore and in Read
ing. There is rumor that the
Gould interests, after they reach Balti-
more, will tap the anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania by this new
road

A I[inu's TricI,

King Gustavus Ill. Of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court Of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany, and as soon as the
Duchess of Mecklenburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts of the small rulers,
sent two Of his attcndants-a sage
named Pcyron and Dcsyougcs, a valet
who had formerly been an actor TO
be entertained by the duchess. The
two personated the king and his min
lister, Baron Spare, and sustained the
characters throughout. They accepted
as their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who were presented TO
them, and Pcyron went SO far us TO
ask one of the ladies for her portrait.
Meantime Gustavus was enjoying him
self elsewhere in secret.

KNOX TO LEAVE PlTTSBURG.
viii Divide Time Between Washing.
ton and Valley Forge Farm.

Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-Philander G..
Knox, attorney general of the United
States, WHO re,e1tly bought an ex-
tensive farm in the heart of the Ches-
ter valley, near Valley Forge, will
give up his residence in Pittsburg i'm
mediately and in the future will di-
vide his time between the farm and
his home in Washington.
For some time, it is said, Mr.. Knox
has designed to buy a country home
because the section of Pittsburg in
which he has lived was being rapidly
built up. Finally he decided that he
wanted the Chester valley estate and
to get it has taken at least two
months. The price paid for the farm
was in the neighborhood of 100000,
and the transaction was brought to
an end on Saturday. The former own
ers, the heirs of p. j. Matthews, have
begun to move already and this week
Mr.. Knox will start to install his
furniture.
Mr.. Knox transfers his affections
from Fittsburg, the scene Of his life's
labors, to the pretty suburb of Phil
adelphia partly because he wishes to
become a breeder of blue-bloCded
horses, but the chief reason for his
choice Of the estate he has bought
lies in the fact that uDcn it Is locat-
ed an old house which played a large
part in the life of his most noted an
cestor, General Henry Knox Of Revo-
lutionary fame.
Mr.. KnoX's newly acquired estate
was part of the camp ground used by
Washington at Valley Forge. It is
less than mile rrom fhe house in
which the natriot commander-in-chief
lived a11 ho'd his cou~cils Of war

farm, nearest Washlngton's headquar-
ters, stand; the house where General
Knox and his brave wife lived dur
ing the months when the American
cause was in its worst straits. When
he has settled down on the farm it is
likely that Mr.. Knox will add 1other
tracts to 1t as he already holds op-
tions on these.

Powder MAGAZINES Exploded.

Two small powder magazines in the
midst of the houses of so mill opera
tlves at Lowell, Mass, exploded Wed
nesday with frightful concussion
and the lives of more shan a score of
persons were cut off and so others
were injured.
Half a dozen men who were load
ing kegs of powder from one of the
mi gaines were blown to pieces, four
boys 200 yards away were killed by
the force of the explosion ard IA
frame houses within a radius of 400
yards collapsed as though built of
cards.
Seven of these houses Immediately
caught fire and were completely con-
sumed. At least three persons were
caught in the ruins and burned to
death, while seven or eight others,
who were rescued, died subsequently
Of their injuries.
It is estimated that 70 separate
pieces of property, including those al
ready mentioned, were destroyed,
while the force of the explosion broke
windows within a radius of five or six
miles. and its thunder was heard dis
tinctly for more than so miles away.
A long line of hearses moving
through the streets of Lowell was
a pathetic reminder of Wednesdays
terrible catastrophe at Wigginsville,
when an explosion Muffed out nearly
a score of lives. At present the num-
Der of dead stands at 10. Two of the
injured are in a critical condition.
The ruins were thoroughly searched
but no additional bodies were found.

The largest conclave in the history
Of the Catholic church is now as
sembled in the Sistine chapel at
Rome for the purpose of electing
a successor to Leo Kill Sixty-two car
dinals, with over 200 clerical and lay
attendants, are, to all intents and pur-
poses, prisoners within the Vatican.
The general impression exists that
within two or three days, a new
pope will have been chosen. But no
matter how long a time may be re-
quired, the absolute seclusion of the
princes of the church from the outer
world must, according to the church
law, continue until choice is made.
Four cardinals whose names have
been most frequently before the pub
lie recently in connection with the
discussion of the successor to the
papal throne are Gotti, Oreglia, Van
nutelli and Rampolla
No successor to Leo XIII has yet
been chosen.
The conclusion is drawn that the
strength of the leading candidate re-
mains unbroken and that no compro-
mise candidate has yet appeared. And
there is no indication of how long this
condition of affairs will continue. The
prolongation of the contest has arous-
ed tremendous interest. Every trace
of that apathy at Rome which followed
the death of the late pope has van
burning interest in everything per-
tanning to the election of his success
sor.
Princes, princesses, archbishops,
bishops, monsignors, priests, in short
people from every walk in life from
that of nobleman to street beggar, talk
of nothing but la sfumata (the smoke
from the burning ballots) This was
the lodestone which drew tens Of thou
sands to the square of ST. Peters.
There for hours, with strained eyes,
they waited in hope of seeing tiny
little stream of smoke.
Several attempts to establish COM
munication with the conclave have
been discovered in time and there
have been some suspicious lights wav-
ing in the cells of several of the car
dinals which we're interpreted as sig
nails. These were Immediately re-
ported to the camerlengo by the mar
shal and extra precautions were pro-
vlded to prevent a repetition of the
occurrence, Conventional signs for
COMMUNICATIONS, codes, etc, have all
failed up to the present time.
