PACKING HOUSES FOUND CLEAN.
Board Of Health Analyses Boston Pot.
ted Meats.

Boston (SpeciaD The State Board
of Health made public the result OF its
investigation of canned meats. The
board examined nearly $50 different
kinds of canned meat, from every posi-
bic source, as well as the canned meat
establishments.
In general way the results OF the
investigation are favorable to the manu-
facturers, both in the East and in the
West, but it was found that many OF the
preparations contained a large amount
of foreign matter OF one brand OF pot
ted ham, prepared by a Western firm,
the report states:
This was found to consist of a small
amount of normal muscle, considerable
epidermis in large pieces, numerous
blood vessels and nerves and the salt
vary gland, ground TO paste. Quality
poor, the material being largely scrap"
OF another Western ported ham the
report says;
Abundant muscle fiber, considerable
epidermis, much granular debris. some
fat and cornmeal Quality fair, but in
asmuch as there appears to be no excuse
regarded as adulterated."
An Eastern potted ham is described
as follows:
Appearance good. muscular fiber
abundant contains neither epidermis nor
salivary gland. Quality excellent"
A number of the other products, the
board of health states, contain cornn1eal
The board says:
"Deviled ham is, or should be, ham to
which seasoning has been added. The
majority of deviled hams in the market
however, contain added material which
in no way can contribute to sharp
taste, or, indeed, to any taste. Cornmeal,
for example, adds nothing to the flavor
but it is cheap and enables meat pro-
duct to carry considerable additional
water"
Several brands of prepared meat were
found to contain either boric acid OF
borax as preservative. One Western
Chicken loaf" is thus described
Every little muscular fiber; much con-
nective tissue and corn. 1t is preserved
with either boric acid or borax. The
label states that the material is of su.
perior quality, having been carefully Sc
lected and inspected according to the
law enacted by Congress March 3, 1891
relating to the inspection of meats"
The report says regarding condition,
in this state:
"The large establishments were found
to be conducted in all particulars in a
scrupulously neat and clean manner. Oh
rs smaller establishments only five were
found to be entitled to grade excellent"
The investigation went far enough tic
show that local authorities may we'll give
careful attention to the slaughter houses
within their several jurisdictions.

Accept the Tender Of Good Offices.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD Both
Guatemala and San Salvador have ac-
cepted the tender of the good Offices of
this government looking to a settlement
of their differences. This information
is conveyed in official dispatches re-
ceived at the State Department from
the American diplomatic representatives
in Guatemala and San Salvador, an
nouncing that the two belligerent coun-
tries have availed themselves of the
tender of the good offices of the United
States looking to their approaching each
other in a conference having in view an
adjustment of their differences, the ces-
sation of hostilities and the bringing
about of peace.
1t is stated that while both Guatemala
and Salvador have accepted in principle
the proposition for a peace conference,
the question of arbitration would be a
subject of future consideration. A fort
night ago there was a disposition on the
part of the belligerents to arbitrate. The
question then was whether Guatemala
had injured Salvador by harboring in
surgents on her territory or whether
Salvador by doing the same thing had
injured Guatemala.
But the recent battle, with the death
of General Regalado, the former presi-
dent of Salvador and the leader of the
Salvadorean troops, changed the situa-
ton. 1t is pointed out that as no terri
torial or boundary question is in dis
pute the matter of indemnity for invasion
of territory would be main question
before the peace conference. So far
no advices have reached this government
regarding the battle which took place
Saturday night and in which, as stated
in San Salvador advices, the Salvadorean
army defeated the Guatemalan forces at
Platanar
The advices regarding the Central
American situation were forwarded to
the President at Oyster Bay by Acting
Secretary of State Bacon, who is in
charge of State Department affairs dur
ing the absence of Secretary Root.

The "Moute crIsto" OF South Africa.

Alfred Belt was born in 1853 at Ham
burg He was life governor of the De-
Beers Consolidated Mines, partner in
the firm of Wernher Belt & Co. and a
director of the Rand Mines. Rhodesia
Railways, Bechuanaland Railway Trust,
Consolidated Company Bultfontein Mine
and British Chartered South Africa
Company
He was reported to have been impli-
Gated in the Jameson raid. Later suit
was brought against Mr.. Belt on the
ground of completely in the raid and his
prosecution was demanded by DR.. Levd,
the representative of the Transvaal in
Europe, and in 1896 his resignation from
the board of directors of the British
Chartered South Africa Company was
accented.
When Cecil Rhodes died, in 1902, it
was found that Mr. Belt was appointed
one of his executors, and Mr. Belt there
upon returned to the board of directors
Of the British Chartered South Africa
Company
The career of Belt from 1875, when a
poor and unknown young man, he landed
in South Africa to seek his fortune was
one of absorbing interest. He went into
the diamond fields of Kimberly and Jo-
hannesburg. early associated himself
with that far-seeing empire builder and
arch-imperialist, Cecil Rhodes, and when
10 years later, be returned to England
he was literally rolling in diamonds"
He became known as the Monte Cristo
OF South Africa" and BY 1903 he was
0f T Al. Il
Millionaire.
notwithstanding the fact that Belt
had the reputation of being case-hard-
ened wonlan-hater, with a far. greater
aversion to everything in petticoats than
his lifelong friend, Cecil Rhodes, he
was reported to have been engaged tc
Miss Mary Moore, one of the most
beautiful actresses in England and again
in 1903 the gossips had him engaged to
the brilliant New York society woman,
Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg. Both, how
ever, vigorously denied any serious at
tachment. mo marriage bonds for me w
he announced at the time, with charac-
teristic brusqueness.
At the same time Belt was not at all
averse to society and entertained law
ishly. It was said that he was driven
back to the wilds of South Africa BY
the horde of fortune hunters who saw
in him desirable match for daughters
whom Mr.. Belt did not regard as suited
to his temperament.
While Alfred Belt had 10 means of
estimating the exact amount of hfs vast
wealth, he was believed in England 70
be as rich, if not richer, than John D.
Rockefeller, and to possess more ready
monev than either the oil king or Sena-
tor William A. Clark.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
owned or commanded the companies
which owned the only diamond mines of
Importance in the world and controlled
their output and their prices, he did not
affect jewelry at all for personal adorn-
ment and never wore diamonds.
This colossus of finance. like Rookie
Teller, was seldom seen. hardly known,
except to the coterie of friends whom he
entertained at his bachelor apartments at
26 Park Lane, London, and had horror
of notoriety

Three Others Fatally Hurt By What Appear,
To Be Plot.

Chicago, (SpeciaD.-Three men were
blown to pieces, three others fatally in
jured and several orthers badly hurt by an
explosion which wrecked shanty in the
Mclaughlin stone quarries at Bellwood,
a short distance northwest OF Chicago.

quarry, which is at considerable dis
lance from the shanty blown up, was
broken open and the dynamite carried
to the building wherein a number of
laborers were sleeping and exploded be-
meath the structure. The survivors all
declare that there was no dynamite
around their shanty when they retired
for the night.
The explosion aroused the residents
for several miles around and shattered
many panes of glass mile away from
the quarries.
The larger part of the body OF one of
the men killed was taken from a tree
100 feet from the place where the shanty
had stood Parts of the corpse we're
found lying all around the tree
All of the men killed and injured were
Greek and Italian laborers.
The officials of the Mclaughlin
Company denounced the blowing up of
the shanty as deliberate murder, and said
that in their opinion the crime has beef
actuatcd by desire to rob the sleeping
men. Several of them were known to
have considerable money Louis Pappilo
was said to have carried $1,000 in belt
which he wore around one leg.
