DAIRY ANDFO0DMEN
PLEASED WITH CITY
Excursion Yesterday to Mime
tonka Ends Convention
Programme.

Every year our conventions have
been growing in importance, but the
one just closed has overshadowed them
ALL" said President J. w. Bailey, OF the
Dairy and Food association, last night.
1--WE have met with the very best pos
sible treatment here and everything
has been done to render our stay pleas
ant. / feel satisfied that there is not a
single delegate but will leave st. Paul
with the most pleasant recollections of
the city, -Four years ago when we met
in Chicago there was not paper there
that would give us anything but a
bare mention, and I look on the in
creased interest that is being taken in
our work as an indication that the
people have taken this question of
pure food to heart and wish us well in
our work.
1.-THE manufacturers have also shown
a much greater disposition to coop
crate with us than on any previous
occasion, and there is no reason that
when huch is the case the prob
lem of honest food should not be
solved"
All the other visitors to the seventh
annual convention Of the National AS
ISOLATION of Dairy and Food Depart
ments of the United States expressed
themselves in similar terms to Presi-
dent Bailey and each was delighted
with the closing days outing which
was taken yesterday at Lake Mime
tonka.
The party left early in the morning
for the lake and the entire day was
spent on board a steamboat and at the
Hotel st. Louis All the ports were
visited and a good view of the yacht
racing was had from the boat. Lunch
was taken at the hotel and a banquet
was held there in the evening.
The delegates expressed their appre-
citation Of Commissioner McConnell's
services by presenting him with G. A.
r. button, with a gold fob set with
diamonds attached, while Mrs. McCon-
nell was made the recipient of silver
tea set.
The only addyess that was made was
delivered by Prof. j. A. Shepard, of
South Dakota. Prof. Shepard has per-
haps taken the most radical stand dur
ing the convention against the use OF
antiseptics in any form or the use Of
coloring matter, however harmless.
He said that he could see no good
reason why the use of these materials
should be permitted. as in most in
stances they were simply made use of
for the purpose q making manufac-
tured products appear what in reality
they were not.
1--WE can be sure at the present time
even that We are eating pure meat, fer
the packers can by sterilization put UP
their goods in such a way that they
will keep fresh until needed. Mime
sofa produces absolutely pure fresh
butter and bread, so that even il we
had to do without manufactured prod
ucts altogether. we should not be in
such a bad way. The only danger we
have to contend with lies in the man
ufactured stuff, and this. think, should
be subject to the strictest regulation"
Most Of the visitors left for their
homes this morning

which have seemed so clever on the
part of the circus elephants dwlndle
into nothing when compared with the
bright, intelligent acts performed by
the Lockhart beasts.
The Lockhart elephants have travel
ed all over Europe, and have been en-
tertained by royalty, having had the
honor of appearing before the queen
of England at pirate performance.
Mr.. Lockhart has followed humane
system in the education of his intelli-
gent animals. It is by kindness, coax
ing and little gifts of sugar and food
that he succeeds in getting his pupils
to respond SO readily, and the things
they do cannot be satisfactorily de-
seribed. They play little comedy,
waltz, form pyramids, have game OF
saw; they play keeping house and
do no end of things which are both
amusing and interesting.
1t is a question if in the entire cate
cory of wild beasts there is one that
appeals more to the mind Of the child
than the elephant. His mammoth size,
his peculiar trunk and the odd and &C.
centric things he does make him an
almost ineXhauStible source of wonder
and amusement to the young folks.
Carnival Headquarters.
For the convenience of carnival pa
irons, the association has established
quarters near the main entrance. Here

PATENT LEATHER.

Processes of Its Manufacture Are Guarded
Carefully.
Patent leather has become a feature in
the leather world, and its making has
assumed considerable proportions here
abouts Peabody is probably the largest
patent leather manufacturing place m
the country. though Newark, N. j., and
vicinity probably make more real and imi-
tation patent leather.
All manufacturers have their own tan
ming processes, much like those of the
canskin tanner, though some patent
hide and colt skins are the chief feathers
made up with a patent finish, and the
process of producing the glossy surface
is most interesting.
The patent or enamel finish is really
painted and baked on. as the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto a frame. Tanners are very particu-
lar about keeping their processes a Sc
cret, and nobody but workmen are ever
allowed into the finishing rooms. Paint
ers are especially kept far from the
work rooms 1t is said that the worllmen

Grounds Are Ready.

AT 1: ~ O'CLOCK tomorrow afternoon
President Schumacher will duly an
nounce the opening of the st. Paul
Summer carnival.
For two weeks st. Paul and its in
hahitants will revel in joy unconfined
and the st. Paul public baths will be
the beneficiary.
Things were lively about the carni-
val grounds yesterday. Scores Of
workmen were busy putting the finish
ing touches to the buildings and the
big arch, and if nothing happens to
prevent, the carnival will be opened
tomorrow about as complete as could
be expected
In the industrial street merchants
were busy fixing up displays in the
booths assigned them, while up in lie

the litter that blocked the sidewalks
and streets, but midnight saw much
of it cleaned UP. Many worked until
late hour this morning completing
the arrangement and decoration of the
spaces assigned them, so it can be
pretty accurately stated that there will
be little left to do when tomorrow ar
rives.
Arch Is Illuminated.
The big arch, one of the prettiest
things of the carnival, was lit up last
night for the first time and the illumi-
nations drew thousands of people to the
grounds. Added to this, all the booths
and much of the grounds were illumi-
mated and the sight was pretty one

number Of booths left on the associa-
TONS hands, but the pleasing an
nouncement was made last night that
practically every one had been dis
posed Of Many signed contracts late
yesterday afternoon and the associa-
ton in consequence lis considerably
ahead.
The principal anxiety yesterday was
for the Lockhart performing animals,
Which the association booked for the
two weeks at a cost of SIS, 900. Because
OF stringent custom rules the members
OF the association were in great fear
that something would happen to delay
the attraction and the wires in conse-

were en- route and the members were
