Threaten to Tie Up the Entire
Pittsburg Division

Serious trouble is feared for stike
among the machinists employed at the
Glenwood shops of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, just outside of Pitts
burg. The Glenwood shops are
"open, part of the machiuists being
union men while the others are nom
union. The trouble has been brewing
for several weeks, and grew cat of
the discharge of Thomas M. Hamp-
ton. one of the union men. The lat
ter also ask for the reinstatement of
Hampton and for the dismissal Of
Master Mechanic J. f. Pendergast
They sllege that the latter is a
nephew of one of the officials of the
company, and that for months past
he has been discriminating against
the union men. Yesterday the union
men went out on strike, and they
were followed by the nonunion. All
the machinists employed at the shops,
to the number of 100. are oct. The
men declare they will get other en-
ploes TO 60 out. end that. within few
days, they will be able to tie mp the
entire Pittsburg division of the road.

Washington, u. @. Jaiy 20. Pure

America constitute one of the demands
of the department. of agriculture. For
years-eyer since. in fact, Secretary
Wilson has been at the head of the de-
partment of agriculture-the efforts of
The scientists of the department
have been directed toward obtaining
reasonably satisfactory results from
manufacturers and dealers in the
handling of food products
After many years of earnest en-.
deavor. measure providing for pure
food was passed by congress at its
recent session. The law, as it stands.
is not what 1t ought to be. but it is
far better than nothing. Under its
provisions, few absolutely deleter-
ious articles of food and drink may be
sold. without q knowledge on the
part of the purchaser of exactly what
he is buying. This applies particu-
larry to preparatory medicines and
some.beverages. but not to all.
Wines and liquors yet may be sold
practically without reference to the
pure fooG law. The purchaser has alb.
solutely no assurance OF the purity OF
the article he is buying. 1t may be
adulterated in almost any of the ordi.

ed in which greater fraud is practlsed

the course of his investigations, the

He found. for instance, that Scotch
whisky was manufactured under ex.

distilleries, was perfectly pure. MOI

went into the hands of middle-m er
who adulterated it before it was put
on the market. II is fact that tn,

twelve to twenty per cent. of rea
Scotch whisky is mixed with spirits

army All OF them denounce such
Legislation as an insult to the old
soldier as we'll as TO the soldier in the
regular army. have no hesitsny in
ssying-tnat such legislation as this Is
the worst blow. true temperance
could be struck. and harm will be
done for wears TO come unless there is
correction of the mistake. II Is
preposterous to think that the law will
make the old soldier any better of
morally. The cause of temperance
Will be retarded instead of helped,
and the old soldiers generally Will not
approve OF such legislation. No iegis-
Iation that takes away from man the
milAer and COMPARATIVELY unintoxicat-
lng drinks, ana forces him, if he de.
sircs alcoholic stimnlants, TO hunt for
them in uninviting places and accept
the ardent kind, Is wise legislation
from temperance view IL is a
matter of universal knowledge among
the regular armv office that drunken.
ness has greatly increased among the
men since they were deprived OF the
cleanlg conditions CT bser aud wine
in the post canteeus and left to secure
their drinks among the vile resorts
that surround army posts.
II WAS always in hearty accord
with the sentiment expressed By Mrs.
Tanner many times in her lifetime.
when the question was up IN congress,
namely. that she was surprised that
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union and other temperance bodies
did not find occasion TO halt and cor.
siier their course. when they found
themselves working on congress,
while asking for the adjustment of
The canteen in the army, alongside Of
those who were universally recognized
as representatives of the whiskey
interests. The men engaged in making
and selling the strong drinks. have no
objection to legislation OF this kind, rs
il drives tho soldiers to forms Of
strong drink and to the saloons.
The time is coming, believe,
when men Of honest convictions ia
congress will not listen to the imprac-
ticable ideas OF persons holding to GER
tain dogmas and will listen to the rea-
son Of experienced men. The old
soldier is not an imbecile. He does
not need to be handled like q baby.
He, and his friends will resent any.
thing like this recent legislation OF
congress.

PEACHscRoP SHORT.
Partial Failure Reported From
Frederick County.

Tie Winchester Star says
From reports ID appears that the
peach crop, which early IN the spring
gave promise OF being one Of tb2.
largest ever grown IN this locaIinvs
will not nearly come up to expec IN
tions. In fact many orchards will
not yield over 25 per cent of what was
Expected a few months ago.
All varities seem to be affected, ar
though some suffered more than
others. the same as some orchards Will
bear better than others. The peaches
are OF rather poor quality compared 60
some wears Growers say that the
peaches have dropped from tile trees
lin greater quantities than they have
ever known before. This is probably
doe to the cold snap last spring about
Tie time the trees were blooming
Some few peaches are being shipped
daily from the various orchards of the
county. In little over week the
Mountain Rose variety will be ripe.
This is one OF the very best peaches
grown and Is perferred above ar
others for eating purposes 1t seems
to have withstood the ravages which
worked havoc with other varieties
aud fairly larVe yields Of this delie.p
ious fruir is expected.
