Mrs. Gait managed the assembly with
great skill, putting all the business In
clear and interesting manner. she Is an
accomplished speaker. 1t was through her
initiative that women all over the world
have united to work together for this COM
mon end, and now practically every nation
which possesses a womens suffrage asso-
station has joined the international al
lance.
At this congress ten countries were rep
resented, Russia having applied to be al
lowed to>send delegates. Three Russian
ladies were welcomed with the utmost en-
thusiasm and 1t was decided that they
should be allowed thirty-five minutes to
read their report instead of the twenty al
lotted to other countries. Mrs, Gait en-
phasized the feeling of the whole meet
ing when she said they had so much that
was important and new to tell.

CUTTLEFISH LAUNCHED
CHRISTENED BY MISS Cow AT
QUINCY sHIPYARD.

QUINCY, Mass, September 1.-The United
States submarine torpedo boat Cuttlefish,
built for the government at the yard Of
the Fore River Shipbulding Company I'M
der the direction of the Electric Boat Com
pany, successfully launched here to-
day in the presence OF several hundred peo-
pie. including many naval officers.
The Cuttlefish was christened by Miss
Eleanor Cow. daughter of Commander John
l.. Cow. U.S.N. Afterward the guests of
the company embarked in the steamer
Sterling for a sail in the bay. The Cutie
FISH is larger and faster development of
the so-cailed Holland boats which the gov
eminent owns. The dimensions and par
ticulars of the craft are held as confiden-
tial by the Navy Department.
The Electric Boat Company and the Fore
River Company are building in the same
yards two sister ships of the Cuttlefish
type, the Viper and the Tarantula, and an
additional vessel, the Octopus, which is I'M
derstood TO be considerably larger than the
Cuttlehsh class and as large as any OF the
successful submarine boats In commission
In Great Britain. These three boats are
rapidly nearing completion.
The submarine boat Cuttlefsh was launch
ed at the shipyard of the Fore River Ship
building Company at Quincy. Mass, today
She was built In accordance with plans pre-
pared by the Electric Boat Company of New
York, successor TO the Holland Company,
and is one of a group of four boats of the
submarine type which that company has
contracted to build for the United States
navy. The other vessels are the Octopus.

We have practically no canned goods from
the American Beef Trust in our district.
Most of our stuff Is British, therefore and
our results point conclusively to the fact
that British goods are no better than those
from America; and, in many cases, much
worse. For instance, to give some inter-
esting figures, In 1901 ITO tons of impure
food were destroyed; in 1902 43O tons OF
bad food were destroyed; in 1903 4SS tons
of bad food were destroyed, while in 1904
there were 1876 tons of British food which
had to be condemned. The remarkable in
crease from 1901 to 1904 shows the loose
methods employed in packing timed meats.
On an average in our district alone during
the last five years there has been one ton
of tinned goods destroyed daily.
Previous to the introduction of syste-
matte laboratory work all this enormous
quantity of bad foodstuffs was sold to the
public. AS a matter of fact, 1t was a we'll
known dodge only a few years ago, to sell
some of this food as manure when it was
in such condition that the owners feared
they might be prosecuted If its consumption
led to fatalities. The buyers were not given
receipts for their money until after the day
of purchase, and then, on the bill, the
magic words not to be used for human con-
sumption were written. This let the seller
out in the event of trouble Undoubtedly
much of this stuff-ft only for manure
was sold in the poor districts, and used as
food by human beings. l am inclined to
think this quite on par with anything
that happened in Chicago, If it does not go

"As every one knows, timed meats be-
come blown If decomposition goes on in
the cans-that Is, the ends of the cans bulge
out from the gases Of decomposition Often
when these tins are open the most offensive
smell is given forth. Previous to our rigid
examination of these foods, It was a prac-
tice among certain dealers to prick these
tins with microscopic holes to let out the
decomposing cases. and then to have the
tins relabeled and -resealed. AS conse-
quence large quantities of rotten, decayed
timed foods found their way on the mar
ket, and have no doubt many deaths could
have been traced to them had their condi-
ton been suspected. When 1 was medical
officer of health to the limehouse board of
works I instituted proceedings against one
of the largest houses engaged in this prac-
tice. the case lasting several days, and at
tracing wtdespread attention. This partic-
ular dealer am glad to say, went to prison
under a sentence of five months hard la
Dor. Since that time blown tins have been
conspicuously absent, and I have been Nun-
able to find any trace, in my district at
least. of the 'pricking' process I have de-
scribed.

LOVERS CRUELTY HoAxED.
By a Swimming Ghost of Alster
Lake.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
HAMBURG, September Ia couple OF
lovers who had gone for a row on the AL
sterxHamburg's charming Lakeland had
chosen one of the most secluded parts, with
overhanging trees to rest and dream away
the happy hours in the moonlight, were
the victims Of cruel jest the other even
ing.
Out of the dark water there appeared a
white object which ioated slowly toward
the boat. Look. dead body." exclaimed
the young lady in terror. and her sweet
heart at once seized the oars and made an
effort to escape the uncanny thing.
Suddenly the body rose half out Of the
water, and in sepulchral voice said, Give
me your boat" and at the same time a
hand was stretched out to seize it. This
was too much for the sweethearts. who
sprang out of the boat into the water,
screaming loudly for help.
This brought several other boats to the
scene. and the couple were rescued but the
bather who had played this cruel hoax had
vanished.

and some startling revelations have just
been made. At the special instances Of
the local government board no less than
twenty-eight different sections of London
have taken up the Investigation of canned
goods from various Haglish packing houses.
In every public laboratory-and there is one
for nearly every district of London-you
see piles Of canned goods standing waiting
chemists. microscopes and bacteriologists
are looking assiduously for evidences of
diseased and deleterious matter in the con-
tents of the supposedly irreproachable Eng
fish canned goods about which packers
have been boasting so much.

The result of many of these analyses has
been the prosecution and infection of heavy
fines and even Imprisonment on many Lon
don packers. In one case, where boracic
acid was found in potted ham, the meat
had turned black, and 1t was testified by
experts that it had been treated with pre-
sentative because it was unfit for human
consumption when packed. The firm whose
label was on this abominatiol had been
supplying large quantities of canned meats
to the British army. and had branches in
London. Dover, Dublin, Aldershot (the
principal army corps camp, Gibraltar and
other places. Undoubtedly each year thou
sands of tons of this deleterious canned
stuff were supplied to the British army. The
magistrates dn this occasion imposed a
fine of $25 on one analysis and $3.50 costs.

The public analyst who has done more
work on foodstuffs than any other London
health officer Is Dr. d. L. Thomas, medical
officer of health for the metropolitan bor-
ough of Stepney. 1t is In DR.. Thomas dis
trict that MANY of the largest London
docks are situated. Here arrive daily ship
ments from all over the world and it Is
from this district that large shipments OF
British canned goods are sent abroad
DR.. Thomas was found by the writer in
his laboratory surrounded by huge piles of
English and American canned goods, the
contents Of which were undergoing various
processes of analysis. Some samples were
II platinum dishes placed over spirit lamps
and undergoing incineration; others were
being weighed on delicate analytical bal

with the microscope looking for "active or

taken by surprise upon hearing that Count
George Esterhazy, owner of the Oszlop es-
tate, in Hungary, has decided upon leav-

1t is not, indeed, unusual for young Aus
trian and Hungarian aristocrats to devote
themselves to ecclesiastical careers, in
which generally they are rapidly promoted
to archiepiscopal honors, or at least find
themselves possessing some bishops see.
Count Esterhazy Is. however, a man OF
fifty-eight years, and has neither wish nor
prospect of episcopal preferment, or of OBJ

LONDON, September 1.-The annual re-
port Of the postmaster general shows that
observation-disclosures Is common fault Of hui
manity. The report shows that there were
altogether just 1850 letters posted last year
without any address whatever. and their
contents included nearly $50 600 in various
forma of remittance Perhaps even more
amazing than sheer forgetfulness of this
kind is the carelessness of people who have
actually taken the trouble to register their
letters and have then posted them with an
insufficient address. There were $4,000
cases OF this sort last year. and the
amount Of money involved was s., 100000.
