PURE FOOD CONGRESS.
Interesting Discussions on the Subjecr
of Adulterated Products.

st. Louis, September 29.-The fourth
days session of the National Pure Food
Congress developed a number of inter-
esting discussions on the subject of
adulterated food products. Professor
NJ E. Scovell, director of the Kentucky
experiment station and member Of the
United states food standard commits
sion read an address On the subject of
food standards, and declared that
whether manufacturers desired it or
not, legislation was inevitable on the
subject of adulterated foods.
The afternoon session was devoted to
baking powders. DR.. J. w. Mallet, pro-
lessor of chemistry at the University
OF Virginia, read a paper on the rela-
tons to health of the compounds of
aluminium in which he asserted that
aluminium was an unwholesome ingre-
dent and should not be employed.
In addition to the injurious effects
upon the functions of digestion he
declared, there is a considerable
amount of evidence furnished by the
experiments of more han one investi-
gator, that soluble aluminium COM
pounds are capable of specifically at
fecting the V system"
Professor Victor H. Vaughan, dean
of the college of medicine, University
of Michigan, also condemned the use
of alum as an ingredient of baking
powder.

DEATH OF SENATOR HoAR.
THE END CAME AT AN EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING.
cd Remarkable Vitality. but Since
Sunday Last His Life has Been De-
SPARED of.

Worcester, Mass, September 90
George Frisbie Hoar, senior United
States Senator from Massachusetts,
died at his home in this city at lbs
o'clock this morning.
The end followed a period Of uncon-
sciousness that had continued since
early Tuesday. and came SO gently that
only the attending physicians were
aware of the exact moment of dissolu-
ton.
The physicians despaired Of the Sen
ator's life six weeks ago. but such was
the vitality exhibited by their distin-
guished patient that even they were
surprised and the public was at times
led TO cherish a faith in an ultimate
recovery.
On sunday last. however. all hope
vas abandoned after a last unsuccessful
attempt, to administer medicine and
punishment. Brief lucid intervals were
followed by longer durations OF un-
sciousness until Tuesday morning, when
the venerable statesman sank into a
state of coma from which ali efforts
to rouse him proved futile.

whistles, the big red hull slid into the
water at E1:16. 1t took just &c seconds
for the Connecticut to clear the ways

ORDER IN CUYEER-FINCH SUIT.
Allowances at all 10 Complaipants
or Their Counsel.
Especial to The Messenger.)

special to The Messenger
Raleigh, n. c., september 29.Judge
Purnell, in the Federal court, made a
final order in the noted Cuyler-Finch
receivership suit against the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad Company,
which was dismissed a few days ago,
except for the issuing of an order as
to allowances to compainants and their
counsel. The judge declines to make
any allowance at all. He holds that
there is no force in the argument of
the compliments counsel and says al
lowances are governed by statute of
1851, allowances in equity being in dis
erection of the court. The Greenough
and PettuS cases are cited the one eS-
tablishing the rule when the fund is ad-
miniStered, and the other when the
property is in the custody of the court
and administered thereby. 1t is then
held that there being no decree, ex-
cept that of dismissal and the property
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
having been in custody of the court
only temporarily, there was no special
benefit to the property, hence lin the
discretion of the court it is not consid-
cred that it is a proper case for allow
ance. AS to the petition of K. S. Finch
for allowance, the court says, he being
an interpleader, he is entitled to MOTH
