PURE FRUIT FLAyORS.
Campaign Against the Alleged Use Of
Acids as Substitutes.

New York, Aug 9.-An active cam
paign against the alleged use of
acids as a substitute for pure lemon
juice has been launched at a meeting
of the trustees of the New York fruit
exchange. Pleasure resorts in and
near the city will be investigated an
once by an expert and should suffi-
cient evidence be obtained to warrant
arrests prosecution will be made I'M
der the provisions of the pure food
laws, which prohibit .the use OF an
imitation offered for another article,
and also poisonous colors or havors
or other ingredients deleteriouS or
detrimentals to health.
While the principal subject under
consideration at present is substitutes
for lemons, it was announced after
the meeting that this will only be
the initiative as a movement against
all substitutes for pure fruit flavo1s,
the use OF which is illegal under the
pure food laws.

NEW INKsTANDs.
One With an Eight Day Watch Set
in the Under Side Of the Cover.

One With an Eight Day Watch Set
in the Under Side Of the Cover
Something new in inkstands is one
having watch set in the under side
of the cover When the inkstand is
closed there is no sign Of the watch:
it is then just an inkstand, pure and
simple: but when the cover Is lifted
thrown back on its hinges there ap-
pears sthe watch, always before the
writer's eye.
The timekeeping inkstand is de-
signed more especially for the use OF
business men, to be placed ON an of
flee desk; but 1t can, Of course, be
used as well on the home writing
table. 1t would not look inappro-
pirate anywhere, for it is a thing of
beauty as well as utility.
1t is made of cut glass, with case of
silver. The watch set in the under
side of the cover is a stemwinder that
runs eight days-in reality a tiny
eight-day clock, so that It's owner
doesn't have to bother about winding
it too often.
Inkstands of this sort are made in
various sizes, and some of them are
mounted on simple but handsome mo-
rocco leather stands, the stand also
holding silver pen rack These ink
stands can scarcely be considered in
expensive, for, according to size, and
as to whether they are mounted on
stand Or not, they sell at from SIS to
$50.

gasoline in the Atlantic avenue en-
trance OF the East Boston tunnel to-
day Their names are:

RANKIN KIDNAPPING
CASE is REVIVED

Through his counsel, Attorney Ken
nedy, George Rankin has fled an ap-
plication before the probate court
asking for the removal of his wife,
Linnie May, as joint custodian of
their child Thus another link is
added to this celebrated case. 1t will
be recalled that Mrs Rankin ktdnap-
ed her child from her husbands home
several weeks ago. At that time he
made an application to have her re-
moved as guardian, but did not ap-
pear at the hearing before the pro-
bate court to give his reasons why.
She was not removed. The new COM
plant alleges that she left her hus-
bands home in November, 1908, and
has at various times since then CO.
habited with John Mitchell and has
passed as his wife on at least one oc-
casion. The complaint alleges that
she is an unfit person to have the GUS

days Disaster.

Hartford, Aug 9.-Miss Carrie O.
Bishop, daughter Of Mrs S. S. Bishop
of this city, was among those who
lost their lives in the wreck OF tie
passenger train at Eden, Col, Sunday
evening. Her cousins, John f. Bish-
op and Eta A. Bishop, brother and
sister, both OF Pueblo, are also among
the dead. Miss Bishop left Hartford
two weeks ago to visit relatives in Col
orado and It Is presumed, In lack of
further details, that she in company
with her cousins was going by train
to visit other relatives. A telegram
was received to-day by Mrs Bishop
to the effect that Mr. Bishop and Miss
Eta Bishop had been killed In the
wreck and that Miss Carrie Bishop
was among the missing. A little la
ter another telegram was received
stating that the latter's body had been
found, but failed to explain whether
death came in the wreck through bod
lily injury or by drowning.
Miss Carrie Bishop was an esti-
mable young woman 25 years of age
and quite well known in this city.

the negro lad who shot and killed
former Police Commissioner Henry
Osborn last Friday morning. was In
the city court to-day for a hearing on

to inquiries made by the court as to
Watson's age the appointment of
guardian ad item for Watson was or
dered, but none of the attorneys. of
whom there was large number
present, would accept the office. The

BIG PLANT BURNED.

st Louis, Aug 0.-The plant OF the
American Refrigerator Transit Co
was partially destroyed by fire early
to-day entailing a total loss of about
$25O,OOO. The plant was valued at
$4,000, the most serious loss being
the destruction of one hundred re-
frigerator cars, worth about $1,000
each, which were in the repair shops
and on side tracks in the company's
yards. Sparks from a passing loco
motive are believed to have started
the fire which spread rapidly and
brought all the fire fighting apparatus
in the central portion of the city into
action. In addition to the cars de-
stroyed more than 100 were damaged
involving a loss of more than $4,000.

BALDWIN STREET
PEOPLE WANTED CARS

A good deal of fault finding is heard
In the south end Of the city on account
of what looked like slight ON regs-
dents Of that district at the railroad
station Saturday night when the pa
irons of st Joseph's excursion arrived
home. Trolley cars were on hand to-
convey the excursionists to their
homes along all the lines with the ex-
ceptiOn OF Baldwin street, although
the biggest crowd of all lived in that
part OF the town and had to foot 1t,
while others stepped on the trolley
and were whirled away towards their
homes as fast as the cars could carry
them. This may have been an over
sight, but the people do not take 1t
that way and state that whoever had
charge Of the running OF the cars
on that occasion does not know the
ropes.

Chicago. This extension OF the strike
took the packers by surprise. 1t Is

will take up the fight and If they do
It is believed impossible to slaughter

by the strike order, it Is said that no
less than $4,000 workers will be
thrown out OF employment IL the big
packing houses are forced to close
What the result will be In the local re-
tail market cannot be accurately

to have a, supply large enough to fill

To-day the butchers and laborers In
