COSSACK OFFICERS.
Men Who Have Won Distinction in tho
Russian Service.

From the New York Post.
Gen. Obrubcheff is by no means the only
Cossack who has risen to great distinction
in the Russian service. Any Cossack OFF,
Ger who displays marked ability and in
itiative is sure of high preferment. Gen.
Chicagoff. the military commander at Vlad-
ivostok, Is a Kubansk Cossack and is one
of the most distinguished and trusted OFF,
GERS in the Russian army. He displayed
fine generalship when in command Of
division Of Cossack troops In Manchuria
during the Boxer troubles.
Prince Sviatopolsk Mirski II, the present
Ataman of the Don Cossacks. Is another
Asiatic satrap OF the car. He Is a lineal
descendant of the first Cossack prince who
appeared IN history by settling on the Don
and giving military aid to the Russians in
1874. His rank in the Russian army corre-
spends to that of lieutenant general, and
he has the reputation Of being fine cav
airy leader.
The Cossack Atamans have always been
highly honored by the cars of Russia, but
the most famous Of them was the Ataman
Platow, who inflicted several defeats upon
the great Napoleon story Is told OF him
which gives good insight into the chivalry
and courtesy of the Cossack character.
The car and the King of Prussia had
We'd with one another to give him every re-
ward and decoration In their power to be-
stow, but the Queen of Prussia still felt
that his services had not been adequately
recompensed. so she took a heron's plume
from her hat and gave 1t to him to wear.
He took 1t gratefully. but asked permits
sion to give 1t to his wife
"A feather which has been worn by so
great a queen" he said. us too great a
gift for me to wear. and l could only con-
template 1t with suitable generation when
I saw 1t worn by one who is far more
worthy than myself of the honor"
This double barreled compliment to the
queen and the wife is not so bad for bar
barian of the steppes, but nowadays 1t
would not be surprising to hear such
phrases from a Cossack general. for Co.'S
sack officers are as refined and educate
as any other officers in the Russian service.
Gen. Grodekoff, who was SkObeleff's chief
Of staff in central Asia, has Cossack blood
in his veins, although he is not pure
Asiatic Before Admiral Alexieff was made
viceroy of the far east Grodekoff held COM
mand over all the Russian troops east of
Lake Baikal, and covered the trans-Baikal
and Ussuri territories He was comman-
der-in-c chief of the Russian armies in Man
churia during the suppression of the Boxer
troubles.

American Rabbis Meet at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY. June 27.-The ff-
teenth annual convocation of the central
conference of American rabbis. opened its
business sessions today. The morning ses-
sion was devoted entirely to the reading Of
President Krauskopf message and to the
presentation OF reports.
President Krauskopf's address declared in
favor Of the establishment of a synod to
secure a requisite amount Of central au-
thority In the reformed Jewish church in
America. President Krauskopf. however,
stated that nothing in the movement for
synod should be construed as creating
authority to arbitrarily govern the faith
of the members.

a religious week day service at the time
when the American Jew is at leisure (Sun-
day. was a feature of the address, and the
declaration on this score was warmly ap-
plauded. DR.. Krauskopf did not advocate
a departure from the orthodox Sabbath or
Saturday service, wherever 1t Is possible for
II to be held and observed.

MEDICINE IN OUR FOOD.
Doctor of the Future Likely to Pre-
scribe Vegetables

From the Philadelphia Record
1t is common observation that the guam
tity of any characteristic element In IA
plant varies with It's richness I'M the soil.
This Is Of course correlative OF the we'll
known beneficial action Of fertilizers in in
creasing plant growth. 1t Is now proposed,
however, to attempt the cultivation Of
medicated plants-that is, common vegeta-
bles containing abnormal quantities OF SUBJ
stances 1t Is desired to administer .s.~
1t is evident to every onee at all ac-
quainted with the laws OF physiology that
the assimilation Of mineral elements by the
body Is much more readily accomplished
when these are partaken In the form Of
food in vegetables. In the past, If the body
has needed an excess Of iron, 1t has been
supplied by iron inctures taken through a
glass tube after meals.
The modern idea Ia to supply this want
by certain vegetables, such spinach. Elk
periments looking to the demonstration Of
this scheme have been undertaken recently
in Europe. Ferruginous plants were grown
In soil enriched by the addition of hydrate
of iron, and upon analysis it was found
that plants grown in such soil contained a
much larger percentage of iron than similar
plants grown in natural soil.
OF course 1t is not to be supposed that
this increase In the percentage can be in
creased Indefinitely, but 1t can be carried
greater than the average. This same dem
onstration has also been carried out in
connection with tea cultivation Samples of
tea leaves from several plantations having
similar climate and altitude conditions, but
different soils, were gathered. and, after
drying. were analysed in the laboratory
for their content Of iron, nitrogen, phos-
phortc acid silicc acid. caffein and ash.
The various soils in which the several
plants yielding the sample leaves had been
grown were also analysed for similar elc-
ments, and it was found that the chemical
composition of the soil, especially the guam
titles of those substances taken by the
plant. has an influence, clearly demon
strable by chemical analysis, on the compo-
sition of tea leaves produced on such soil.
very interesting vista opens up to the
prophetic eye In giving free rein to the
ina gnatton on this fascinating subject.
Will the doctor of the future. instead Of
ordering a nauseous dose from the drug
gist. prescribe course of medical vege-
tables. furnishing the iron, or potash. or
manganese, etc, by means of these doc
tored' or "medicated" vegetables? Certi-
fed milk, which, with its guaranteed pro-
portion Of milk fat, milk sugar and solids,
might have seemed an improbable CONNER
cial article fifty years ago. and. If SO, why
not certified vegetables in the immediate
future?

The Irish Writers.

G. h. Shorter. In the Sketch.
Mr.. Krans, in the account Of the Irish
literary effort. is enabled to enumerate no
fewer than forty writer's of today who are
all distinctive forces in the movement.
Lady Gregory only names about twelve, in
Guiding Mr.. George Moore, whom no one
but Lady Gregory and her friend Mr.
Yeats would seriously identify with the
movement. She does refer to Sir Charles
Gavan Duffy, indeed. but merely as help
ing Mr.. Yeats to arrange the new Irish
library. This would be q comic reversal of
the facts were Il not also pathetic that log
rolling should go SO far. That veteran
statesman, Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, was.
of course, the author of the project Of an
Irish library, and he had helped to advance
the cause of an Irish literary movement
years before MI. Yeats was born.
Mr.. Yeats is wellnigh the beginning OF the
end of the Irish literary movement In Lady
Gregory's eyes, and 1T must be admitted
that she has converted the average Engilsh
journalist who talks 1gnorantly OF the
"Erse' language to her view. Instead OF
this, Mr.. Yeats Ia one of thirty or forty
writer's of varied talent and power, some
of whom have produced lyrics as great
others have written prose as good, whlle
others have contributed Infinitely more
scholarship. Mr.. Yeats returns the compli-
ment, and in preface to one OF Lazy
Gregorys books dealing with irish iolk-
lore tells US that it is 1.-The greatest DOCK
that ever came out of Ireland" which Is, OF
course, unmitigated nonsense. Even In the
region to which she has now contributed
three interesting books Lady Gregory has
been only doing work which Miss Eleanor
Hull has been engaged upon before Lady
Gregory came into the field as had also
number of other enthusiasts for irish liter
allure and folklore.
1t is a pity that two such undoubtedly
able writer's as Mr.. Yeats and Lady
Gregory should thus throw some measure
of contempt upon a movement rich In Ut
erary talent and intellectual ideals. BY
this inclination to mutual admiration and
log rolling they do not serve the cause
which they both honestly love, although
time will restore the balance effectively
enough.

NJ. w. Newlin of Philadelphia, counsel for
George Rice of Marietta, Ohio, today filed
in the court OF chancery bill for the dis
solution of the Standard Oil Company,
New Jersey corporation, charging that the
company is Illegal and that 1t exists in
violation of the antitrust laws of the
United States and of the decision in this
state relating to monopolies.
The bill charges that the Standard OIL
Company in Ohio was declared Illegal by
the courts of that state. but that the COM
pany, instead of dissolving in obedience to
that decision. has by subterfuge evaded
the Ohio decision and that the New Jersey
corporation Is merely a holding company
for the Ohio concern. The bill asks that
not only the company be dissolved. but that
it's assets be distributed among its stock
holders after paying off it's outstanding Sc
curities. For the accomplishment of this
purpose 1t is asked that a receiver be APP
