HARSH IN ITS OPERATION.
Milk Dealers So Characterize Recent
Order of Commissioners.

The milk dealers OF the District propose
to take to the United States Supreme Court.
II is stated, the cases involving the right of
the Commissioners to require the register
ing and sealing Of milk bottles. There has
been for some time quite controversy be-
tween the sealer of weights and measures
and his assistants on the one hand and the
milk dealers on the other relative to me
stamping of milk bottles.
Speaking about the matter today. Mr..
Corbin Thompson one of the milk dealers,
said: -.z.-.-.s,.--. -
I'm the recent case in which appear to
have been prosecuted for not complying
with the law 1 was not alone in defending
the suit The Milk Dealers and Producers
Association unanimously voted to test the
law and carry it to the highest possible
court before submitting to the rule OF the
District Commissioners in the matter. and
my case was made test case for that
purpose.
1--WE are a unit In the matter. and do not
propose to abandon the contest until the
last possible step has been taken in the
assertion of what we believe to be our
rights and the justice of the case.
1.-THE law which the corporation counsel
is trying to enforce against us was passed
in 1895. and for more than six years was on
the books before any one thought OF at
tempting to apply 1t to glass bottles used,
not in measuring, but in serving milk"
Mr.. Thompson detailed the provisions of
the orders issued by the Commissioners on
the subject of sealing milk bottles and al
lowing a Tolerance as to the measures.
He claimed that the bottles used by the
dairymen were, generally speaking, over
sized. He cited two instances for example.
In one case, 1t was stated. the sealer found
sixty-three pints and ffty-seven quarts
over size, as against ninety-five bottles of
proper size, but none under size, and in the
other the sealer found hfty-three vessels OF
proper size, one of too small a size and six
teen over size.
And when 1t is borne In mind" he con-
tinued, that the tolerance allowed by the
seaier permits an excess OF several drains
to the ounce In each instance 1t Is seen at
once that the bottles which are passed
by as being too large are too large even be-
yond the additional drains expected.
This surely ought to show that the pub
lie Is the only beneficiary in respect OF
quantity Of milk obtained by the present
system. and that even though In the rare
instances In which 1t may happen that a
bottle is sometimes under size the consumer
in the long run benefits very largely over
the dairymen, who, year in and year out.
furnish to each customer an aggregate
quantity largely in excess of that for which
the customer calls or pays"
order of the Commissioners in the premises
Is a wholly arbitrary and unnecessary ex-
ercise of power, harsh In its operation and
expensive and annoying to the dealers,
without any benefit whatever to the public.

Lees Course Defended.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Under the title of Virginia and the Lee
Statue in a recent issue Of your paper
Mr.. w. c. Dodge takes occasion to de-
nounce Gen. r. E. Lee as traitor" He
does not seem to realize that feN articles
such as his will do more to stir up bitter
feelings than any statue Virginia might
put in the Capitol Gen. Lee chose The
side to fight for which before his God he
considered just and right. Virginia does
not approve Of Lee simply on the ground
that he fought for her. but also on The
ground that he was man who was willing
to stand before the world and fight for
what his conscience told him was right
Could he stand idly by and see his state
overrun and his people killed by nothern
soldiers7 Or could he join an army which
was to kill his kinsmen, friends and neigh
bors burn their homes and spread desola-
ton in, his state? If any man could do
this he is a moral leper and deserves the
scorn and contempt Of all honorable men.
Virginia does right to put the statue Of
Lee, one of her nobiest sons. in the Capitol.

Lee Would Have Disapproved.
, the Editor OF The Evening Star:

So much has already been said Of the
proposed Lee statue in the Capitol that
there can be little added except IN gen.
eral way. Without making any apologies
for the doings OF the Lees, or for the Vir-
ginia legislature in the matter of it's appro-
priations for monuments to ex-confederates.
I, as Virginian, born and bred of people
that were loyal to the Union when and
where loyalty might be said to have been
decidedly at a premium, and republican pol
itics not altogether the best for US, do In
deed decry such action or words that open
those old wartime sores, even when taken
UP with apparently good reason and dis
eussed with ordinary common sense.
All Virginians were not of one accord in
the matter Of placing statue of Gen Rob-
ert e. Lee In the national Capitol at Wash
ington-far from that! There was one, and
a very plain. reason for not doing It It
was that Gen. Lee would not look with any
favor upon such proposition were he alive
today. H. K. H.

DO NOT DOSE The STOMACH
Cure Catarrh by Natures Own
Method-Every Breath Of Hyo-
mel Brings Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh knows
how foolish 1t is to try and cure it BY
drugging the stomach. Temporary relief
may be given, but cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would have
said the only way to cure catarrh would be
to have a change Of climate; but now with
Hyomei you can carry a health giving eli
mate in your vest pocket and by breathing
1t a few minutes four times day soon cure
yourself.
The complete outfit Of Hyomei costs but
$1.0O and consists Of an inhaler that can be
carried In the vest pocket, medicine drop
per and a bottle OF Hyomei. The inhaler
lasts lifetime, and there is enough Hyomei
for more than months treatment Of ca
tarrh. II one bottle does not cure, an extra
bottle Of Hyomei can be obtained for 90
cents. It Is the most economical If all
remedies advertised Tor the cure Of catarrh,
and is the only one that follows nature In
her method of treating diseases Of the
respiratory organs.
The leading druggists Of this city have
sold hundreds Of Hyomei outfits and the
more they sell the more convinced they are
that they are perfectly safe in guaranteeing
to refund the money II Hyomei does not
cure.
Those who are subject t. catarrh or ca
tarrhai colds will do themselves an injustice
II they do not purchase Hyomei outfit at
once. 30 as to be prepared for the sudden
changes Of the seasoe.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 2.-Another specula-
tive anticipation was disappointed by the
action of today's market. This was what
with the Pennsylvania stock subscription,
and the semi-annual requirements on the
money market out of the way, some specu-
lative interest in stocks would be reused.
Today's money markets reflected clearly
enough the refiux of funds after the tying
I'D incident to the settlements. Some
doubt IS felt over the showing OF the
weekly bank statement which will be
published tomorrow owing to the Satur-
day holiday. 1t is expected that this will
show the effects of the large operations
incident to the beginning of the fiscal
year.
The maximum call loan rate to-day was

cent yesterday and 10 per cent on Tues
day bank statement unfavorable or
its face is not likely therefore to be a
factor in the speculation. There was nc
urgent pressure to sell, but the buying
demand was almost imperceptible ane
prices sagged heavily through the SEES

New York. July 2-The prominent
Stock Exchange broker who sold $4,000
bales of cotton yesterday was not on the
floor of the Cotton Exchange to-day, but
heavy selling from Wall street was in
evidence throughout the entire session.
The South also sold quite freely on the
good weather 3nd the improving crop
conditions. There is considerable talk in
cotton circles of the largely increased
acreage in Mexico, Russia, and Central
and South america. and also of consid-
cradle Gotten being cultivated in Porto
Rico, several thousand acres having been
planted IN the early spring. 1t is es-
timated mat this will add to the world s
production next year fully ,0O0, 900 bales.
Reports from the South today were quite
favorable showing ideal weather condi-
tions and from the Memphis district our
reports Indicate that while the plant is
small and backward it is now growing
naturally and developing rapidly and we
think that but for the heavy short in
terest the market would undoubtedly re-
spond to the Improvement in the condi-
tion of the crop. There has been con-
siderable covering of shorts this week
and any further heavy selling would prob
ably cause an easing tendency in the
fall and winter months. but at the same
time if any mishap should overtake the
growing crop there would be rapid ad-
vance So that the market for some
time to come will be governed by weather
conditions
