2.6 per cent. of the entire 1903

litical moment. First he was an object
of the aversion of certain political ele-
ments in his own st: tie of Missouri, who
disliked to see so important position
filled by Missourian who was not one
of the gang" 1t seemed like waste OF
good material to have the most impor-
tant political Office held by any citizen
of the state rendered practically useless
from a political point of view through
its bestowal on a plain business man.
But Hitchcock weathered that opposi-
ton, and he weathered the opposition of
leading far western senators who per-
sisted in going to the president with
complaints that the secretary of the in
terror should be one more closely in:
touch than Hitchcock with far western
affairs. 81. :
He is now engaged in a struggle with
certain interests which believe they have
been injured in business way by the
secretary's course. It remains to be seen
how long the attacks will continue, and
it will be interesting to watch the dc.
velopments as they affect the secretary's
future. 49, 81 t ;szzE3

whose fortune was the third largest ever
concerned in such a transaction, Sc
cured only count, and not of very
ancient or lofty vintage at that. Boni
de -Castellane is an amiable little fell
low, however, and by no means bad
lot.
The duke of Manchester may have
some reason to feel aggrieved. He is
just as much duke as anybody, but
when he married Miss Zimmerman he
secured only fraction of the wealth
that went with thai title in 1895 and
that goes with even Scottish dukedom
again this year. Of course there was
considerable reduction on the price in
his case, as he was badly damaged in
reputation, but he is turning out as well
as could possibly be expected. A SIM
liar reason may have operated in the
case of the earl of Yarmouth, elegantly
known to his cronies as ''bloater.''
His is, ~curiously, the only case where
the exact price paid is known upon au-
thority. Miss Thaw's mother publicly
stated that the countess fortune was
half million dollars; that the free
estate, about half of the above sum, was
put in trust for the earl and countess,
part of the remainder being tied up alb
solutely in the Thaw coke trust; that
the earl was to get small compliment
tary income;" and that If the countess
died one-fifth of her income was to he
paid to the earl and his successors. This
income would be about s., 900 year.

The dairy commission has made .
ruling to the effect that coal tar colors
shall not be used by creamery mana
gers after Jan. 1. Minnesota is the
first state to forbid the use of coloring
matter for butter and in making this
ruling, Commissioner Mcconnell says
he is only following the law which
prohibits the use of coal tar or aniline
eolors in other food products.
Vegetable colors for butter are more
expensive than the coal tar product
and as result the latter has been
used almost exclusively. The dealers
are allowed two and half months
in which to get rid of their coal tar
