AS result Of an investigation OF
the supply of meat and bread for the
New York navy yard a verbal report
by the inspector has been made TO
Secretary BOnaparte, and il shows
very unsatisfactory condition.
The contractor, who was the lowest
bidder for the meat, bid quite low OH
the better grades, evidently under
the impression that there would be
few orders of such grades. He has
been unable 10 supply meats Of these
grades at times, and purchases have
been made elsewhere and charged to
mis- account. The lower grades
have been found 10 be very unsatis
factory, and the complaints seem 10
have been borne out by the invesl D.
cation as far as IL has been made.
When the formal report is made.
and additional facts are ascertained,
!, is possible that the contracts for
meat and bread will be Cancelled.
The complaints relate 10 supplies for
the navy yard only, but at times there
are 1000 men 70 be supplied, and there
is always quite a large number at
the yard.

The Art Students League, whose
fall catalogues were confscated
while ago by Anthony Comstock,
will issue another set in a few days
for distribution among its clients.
The particular half-tones Of femi-
ninity unadorned, 10 which Comstock
took exception, will be omitted.
1T is not that we consider those
photographs improper Tor distribu'
tion," said an officer Of the league,
but because we don't want Com.
stock coming around here every
week with a raid. There isn't much
sense in having catalogues printed TO
give Comstock an excuse 20 get busy"
This officer said that for years the
Art Students League has been cir"
culating the same set Of catalogues
as those grabbed by Comstock, and
with the full consent of the postal
authorities. What caused his sud-
den activity at this time the league
cannot understand.
The Art League holds that as the
photographs printed in its catalogue
were intended purely for purposes OF
advancing the study of art, they
were legally proper.

fore the grand jury, says ii will be
a tight squeak for Boston 10 get

shortage Of ice
Our company" said Mr.. Hall
stram, last week used up the entire
supply Of one of our houses. where
il would ordinarily last two weeks at
least There were $500 tons OF ice
in that house, but IL was all used
up in a week.
People who do not Understand the
situation may talk as they will but
the fact is there Is shortage of ice,
and many of the dealers will find It
pretty hard work to drag along until
the new crop comes.
Our company has only four houses
left with ice up at Milton, n. IT, Al
Wilmington, Mass, we have SIX small
houses full since last year. We
supply the fish trade mostly, aud |
hard time to pull through with what
supply we have"
Mr. Hallstram said his company

this year, and that the price now is
81 ton.

the owner hurriedly left the train
without noticing 1t, and not until an

that he might have dropped II on the
train, he started for the roads Of
