Butter Colored With Coal Tar Dye


According to a report prepared by
Chief Chemist Wiley of the Agricul-
tural Department the butter which is
being supplied the League Island Navy
Yard hospital at Philadelphia and num-
erous naval craft is all colored with
yellow coal tar dye. 1t is expected
that Secretary Wilson will refer this
report to President Roosevelt, who in
turn will submit it to the Department
of Justice for final action. Coal tar dye,
while not poisonous, Mr.. Wiley states.
is unwholesome. and the Department is
doing everything possible to discourage
its use by educating the popular taste in
favor Of an uncolored butter. Under
the law dairymen are permitted to use
dye in imparting a rich golden color te
their products. But is not believed
that the contract for supplying Federal
institutions with butter admits of thii
kind of a~dulteration.

THE PAXTONS TN COURT
Former Wife of Blitz Paxton Is
Fighting for Support of Two
Afflicted Children.

Bliiz W. Paxton, formerly of Austin,
Lander County. figured in a dramatic
court scene in San Francisco last week,
when his former wife fayed him for his
acts toward his children. Paxton is a
son of John A. Paxton of the banking
house of John A. Paxton & Co., that did
business in Eureka aud at Austin in the
early days, when the foundation was
laid for the great Paxton fortune, a por-
ton of which the two afflicted children
of Blitz Paxton are trying to secure for
their maintenance. Their case has
been in court for some time and the
San Francisco papers report recent pro-
ceedings as follows:
Mrs. Bessie Paxton. formerly the
wife of Blilz w. Paxton, a banker and
capitalist of Santa Rosa. Cal. appeared
in Judge Graham's court in San
cisco on Friday of last week in behalf
of her two children in their fight for
maintenance out of the riches their
father enjoys. Holding her mother by
the hand was the daughter, Roma, an
invalid through an accident in youth,
and behind the daughter holding her
by the hand came the son, John, totally
blind, the result of a fall when 3 years
of age.
Paxton presented an answer to his
children's petition in which he denies
that he is possessed of the hundreds OF
thousands of dollars with which they
credit him aud says he is worth no more
than $50, 900, which. he says, he needs
for the support of his present wife and
child. He admitted to the Court that
he should support his children, but
said he would contribute nothing to
them that might be used by their
mother for her support"
S~pringing to her feet, bitterness
marking every gesture. Mrs. Paxton
walked toward her former husband and
welded the verbal lash in a II
that made Paxton vince and redden as
the eyes of the spectators turned upon
him.
In an affidavit Mrs. Paxton said that
at the time of the divorce in 1894, she
and Paxton entered into an agreement
under which he paid 500 a month for
the support of his two children. This
agreement expired in August and since
then Paxton sent $40 to John and moth.
ing to Roma.
Continuing in her affidavit Mrs. Pax
ton recited the facts of the abandon
ment of herself and her children by her
husband, who had become angered,
she said under oath, at her refusal to
submit to criminal means to stay the
advent of her baby girl into the world.
| She said he sent medicines aud got a
doctor in his effort to compel her to
submit TO his demand, but she refused,
aud although her daughter had been
sorely tired through illness her gentle
ness of spirit has brought much com.
| fort into a stricken home.
Paxton's counsel asked that certain
portions of the afidavits be struck out,
and the case was continued until Oct.
20 to enable Paxton to file counter
statements, signed under oath.

The Eye of the Storm.

Fear not that the whirlwind
Shall carry thee hence.
Nor wait for its onslaught
In breathless suspense,
Nor shrink from the whips
OF the terrible hall,
But pass through the edge
To the heart of the gale,
For there is a shelter,
6unlighted and warm,
And faith sees her God
Through the eye Of the storm.
The passionate tempest
With rush and wild roar
And t~hreatenings of evil
May beat on the shore.
The waves may be mountains,
The fields battle plains.
And the earth be immersed
In a deluge Of rains.
Yet the soul, stayed on God,
May sing bravely It's psalm.
For the heart OF the storm
Is the center Of calm.
Let hope not be quenched
In the blackness of night,
Though the cyclone awhile
May nave Diotteu the Ilents
For behind the great darkness
The stars ever shine,
And the light of Gods heaven
His love shall make thine.
Let no gloom dim thine eyes.
But uplift them on high
To the face OF thy God
And the blue of his sky.
The storm is thy shelter
From danger and sin.
And God himself takes thee
For safety within.
The tempest with him
Passes into deep calm.
And the roar of the Winds
Is the sound Of a psalm.
Be glad and serene
When the tempest clouds form:
