STRAUS MILK DEPOTS BUSY.
Great Increase I'm the Demand Over That
OF Any Previous Summer.

The summer season Of Nathan Strauss
pasteunzed milk depots closed yesterday.
The number Of bottles Of pasteurized milk
distributed was 2,l491s4, and In addition
upward Of 800 900 glasses of milk were sold
at the booths in the parks and on the
recreation piers.
The demand was greater in the past
summer than in any Of the previous twelve
years in which the work has been carried on,
the increase being nearly half a million
bottles over 1908. The season was also
notable for the Inauguration Of the work
In st. Louis. The following stations remain
open throughout the year, and gratuitous
coupons will be honored at any Of them:
ISL Avenue c, Al East Fifty-ninth street,
IS Monroe street and al West Thirty-third

The Perhdious Interference OF Plat
and Woodruff.

Governor-Chairman ODELLs version
10 published to the world by his cole
brated organ, the Neuburg Daily News
and Acknowledged Leader Of Hudson
River journalism.
From this eminent repository Of po-
litical truth we learn that at tripartite
conference "on a recent Sunday at the
home of PLATT at Highland Hills, the
aged Senator, the Governor-Chairma
and the Honorable TIN being present,
it was agreed that the State convention
should be open as regards the Guber-
pledged himself not to attempt to in
fuence the choice of the Republican
representatives at Saratoga OpELL
pledged himself. PLATT pledged him
self. WooDRUFF pledged himself, re-
marking at the time that 'he did not caro-
much whether he got the nomination or
nog.~
What happened? This happened, ao-
cording to the Newburg organ Of the
Governor Chairman:
the Pisss home. only one-Governor opn1--lived
UP TO the agreement.
"woopBurr. while pretending he was indlfYeren,
about the matter. secretly advanced his candidacy
at every opening. Senator PIArr seconded his
efforts In disregard of tho open convention
agreement Mr.. Plat tn every interview he gave
the press after the withdrawal OF Mr.. Roof from
tho Gubernatorial neld. announced that Mr. WOOD.
RUIZ was his choice for Governor.
The conference referred to appears to have
been planned by Messrs. WOODRUFF and Plat
expressly to bind Governor opEIL and make clear
sailing for the Woodruff candidacy. The Cover
nors understanding was that Ill the candidates
should have q fair show. and he gave them q fair
show declining to express preference for any man "
The further offences and infractions
Of the Treaty of Highland Falls by PLATr
and WOODRUFF are thus specified by
the Governor-C hairman's organ:
I. Senator PLATr slated WOODRUFF and tried
10 dictate the nomination TO such delegates a. he
could reach IN disregard OF the evident wish Of the
great majority OF Republicans for the selection OF
Mr.. HIoaHss.-
,. Senator PlArr and Mr.. WOODRUFF raised the
entered into with them for an open convention
though from the day that pledge was made up to
the time Of the assembling OF the convention they
themselves had utterly disregarded the agree
ment."
s. Senator Plat, though no longer recognized
a. state leader. apparently cannot resist the In.
elination to attempt to boss and dictate when he
attends . ocavcnt,on."
4 Sens tor PIATT causes considerable discord
and some IL feeling all TO no purpose"
k'"It Il reero:tabe that with all the leaders hsT
uonious and ready to work together Senator Plat
every and thsn should interfere. simply for the
sake OF interfering
Such is the tale of perfidy, interference
and attempted dictation by the meddle-
some old Senator and the selfish young
8spirant. How the Governor-C Chairman
shines in the narrative! He, at least,
was true to his pledge. He, at least,
resisted the attempt to fasten upon the
Republican State organization an odious
dictatorship. He, at least, would toler-
ate no Boss and no bossing in the open
convention of the free and enlightened
Republicans of the Empire State.

problem. Left in the tepees. the children
must meet the fate Of their parents and
sink into disease and degradation. In
spite OF all, the Indians are increasing in
number-the birth rate for last year being
higher than the death rate This is due to
the fact that fewer children die on the
reservations-not that more are born. There
were always a great many born, but former
" great many died, owing to the lgnoranc Q
OF the squaws. Now the children get milk ,
and the squaw is forced to learn something
OF more civilized methods Of caring for
small children. You have only to see a
Chippewa mother and her babe to realize
that nature unassisted by art is rather a
poor thing.
The Indian children can be saved only
by compulsory education. The life OF the
tepee oorrupts them morally and physically.
The non-reservation schools are admittedly
doing admirable work, yet there is no power
on earth that can get children into them if
the ignorant parents dc not want them to go.
At Red Lake, where the Catholic schools
are in terribly poverty stricken condition,
the Indians willingly send their children

More money IL paid to support bull
rings than the schools. II Is estimated
that more than 5000, 900 is expended on
bull fights during each year, while In
1901 only 1851 ,314 was expended for
public education, says William e. Cur
It's, in Chicago Record Herald.
There were more students in the uni
Versity Of Salamanca alone 400 years
ago, during the reign Of Ferdinand and
Isabella, than are enrolled in all Of the
nine universities Of Spain to-day, and,
by the census Of 1896, more than IS per
cent Of the population is lliterate. The
exact figures show that 6,104,470 can
neither read nor write, I, Az, S55 can read
a little, while 2,6S6,615 can read and
write a little.
The act Of July, 1902, requires a school
for every 500 population. and the min
lister OF education is required to *
anime teachers to see that they are
qualified, and to inspect the schools for
sanitary reasons and for discipline, but
the law Is not enforced.

THE GRAPE CROP.
Unifed States Raises 10000 Tons of
the Fruit-COmparativ Little
Wine Made Here.

The cultivation Of grapes for the
market, for raisins and to make wine
has become an important business of
the United States during recent years.
says the National Geographical Maya
zine. Two hundred million dollars Of
capital are invested In this and de-
pendent industries. California sup
plies the people Of the country with
practically all the raisins that they
eat 10O,0O0,OOO pounds, and the same
state, with New York and Ohio, pro
duces annually 100000 gallons Of
wine. The annual grape crop, before
any Of the grapes are changed to wine
or raisins. reaches SIS, 600, 900 in value
and nearly 10000 tons In weight.
The amount Of wine made in the
United States Is. however, very small
compared to that produced In the
countries Of Europe. Even Turkey,
whose Mohammedan population drink
little wine, produces nearly twice as
much wine as the United States.
France in 1901 produced 1,523, 2s3,-
200 gallons Of wine, while this eoun-
try produced 2e,5OO,OOO gallons. But
California alone has q grape and wine
producing area almost equal to the
whole Of France. so that some idea
can be formed Of The great possible
