DISEASED MEATS NOT BAD.
Chicago Health Commissioner Not
Pleased at Report.

Chicago, May 31.-Health Commits
sloner Whalen said that cattle in
fected with tuberculosis are sold to
consumers upon his advice. and all
that is necessary is to cut out the in
fected part.
The city has no authority to prose-
cute packers If they grind maggoty
beef and label IT "potted ham," There
is no law to reach them.
He wouldn't accept the report of
the commission to investigate the
packers, because all the investigators
are radicals who would roment trou-
BILE. He would have one inspector at
the yards, covering 700 acres, who
would watch the packers all the time.
Inspection Of meats is the govern
ments business.
Whalen continued mo scientists
have yet proved that a human being
can be infected by eating such meat
to my satisfaction. There may be
doubt but If so IT is not sufficient to
remove an important commercial
consideration of the loss of several
million dollars worth of meat annu-
ally" Whalen recommended that
the city allow the Gale of meat from
lump jaw" cattle. provided the in
fected portions are cut out.
at may be true that Europe gets
the first choice of beef, and America
second. If Chicago refuses first choice
it Is no fault of the government in
spectors.
at is true stockyards are not per-
feet and that better sanitation can
be had. But you cannot expect us to
dynamite 700 acres of buildings to suit
such radicals"

LAND FRAUD CASES
HENEY COMES TO
PORTLAND NEXT MONTH.
As Soon as Hermann Case Is Disposed
of I'm Washington, Portland Will BE
the Center of Attraction With Land
Fraud Trials-"Prominent Citizens"
Are Yet to BE Tried.

Oregon will again become the CEN
ter of land fraud attraction next
month. As soon as Special Prosecutor
Heney gets through with the letter
hook trial of Ringer Hermann in
Washington, it is expected that he
will come to Portland and resume the
trial of important cases pending there,
1t is not expected that the Hermann
cases IN Washington will take mitch
time. New that the dilatdry tactics
of the congressional defendant have
been put to a corner, and the case is
scheduled to come to trial before the
10th of next month, it is expected to
finish it in little time. The govern
ment's evidence in the letter-book case
is believed to be compact in form and
little time will be taken up in placing
it before the jury. The case is unlike
the long conspiracy cases heretofore
tried.
District Attorney Bristol has said
that it is the policy OF the government
to complete the land fraud cases be-
tween now and fall to clear the docket

A woman who carried love of money
to an incredible extreme was Lady
Margaret Jardine, sister Of the first
Duke of Queensbury. Although her
husband was rich man, Lady Mar
garet would actually carry foot pas
sengers across the little river Amman
for halfpenny, and whenever there
was a fair or market day she would
sit on the banks of the stream all day
long waiting for customers. She usu-
ally wore rags to save her clothes, but
anywhere she packed up few decent
garments which she slipped on before
entering the house, exchanging them
for her dirty ones when leaving.-Lon-

How n Firm Of Architects Got Eta
laL Name on a Building. 4&h&
Close observation on the part of
newspaper man in Boston several
years ago revealed a striking device
employed by the firm of McKim, Mead
& White the noted New York archi-
tects, of which Stanford White, who
was murdered by Harry X. Thaw in
New York recently, was a member.
The device, says the Pittsburg Gazette
Times, was an acrostic Of names ia.
nous in history, literature and art by
which the firms name was to be Ell
graved on the Boston Public library.
AS may be observed, the arrangement
defied literature. history and philoso-
ply in arrangement, and this was the
thing that attracted the newspaper
mans attention. The names were con-
glomerated from all nations and ages
into seemingly neat ornamentaticn
for the fine building. Beginning at the
top OF a space to be devoted to names
famous in the world in various lines
were the following:
Moses,
Cicero,
Kalidasa,
1socrates,
Milton.
These names, through their initials,
formed the first part of the, acrostic,
spelling plainly "McKim." A slight
space appeared before the next list of
names. which was:
Mozart,
Euclid
Aeschylus,
Dante.
The initials Of these names brought
out the second name Of the firm,
Mead" Another slight space, and the
following names appeared:
Wren,
Herrick,
Irving,
Titan,
Erasmus.
Here was the name "White" also en-
graved, the whole device bringing out
the firm name Of "McKim,> Mead &
White in connection with the world
famed men. 1t was in 1890, just before
the building was completed, that the
discovery was made and published.
The list Of names was changed.

A Queer WAGER.

There are men whose pride is in the
stole endurance Of acute discomfort.
They insist upon doing unpleasant
things in order to convince themselves
that they can do them. At Oxford
some years ago there was an eminent
Rugby football player whose passion
was to discover the most uncomforta-
BILE things and then to do them. One
evening humorist suggested that-as
1t was January-it would be rather
beastly to sit in cold tub all night
long. The footballer at once offered to
wager that he could sit till morning
chapel time In his cold tub. And he
did it.-London Chronicle. 5.t
