NO TAINTED MEAT.
Government Inspector Says the Mar
 ket Has Been Free from It.

Chicago. June 1.---Dr 8. E.. Ben nett, chief government inspector at the stock yards in this city, in speak ing of the present meat agitation yesterday reiterated with emphasis his assertion. that mot pound of tainted meat escapes into the local market"
 II never saw anything like the frenzy displayed over this question, :" he said. Men who never saw the interior of a packing house are learn edly discussing the necessity of giv- ing the inspectors the right to de- stroy all the meat they condemn. They do destroy 1t now. They always have done so, at least since I came here ten years ago.
 Just as soon as the tagger' puts the suspicious tag upon carcass 1t is hauled of to the governments s room and locked in there. No -one has the key to that room except the government. By and by the inspector, who iB trained veterinary, comes around and examines the meat. If his judgment corroborates the ver- dict of the 'tagger' then the animal is dumped forthwith into the tank and converted into fertilizer. The packer gets nothing from that ami nal except the hide, hoofs, horns and the fertilizing material.
 For any one to assert condemned meat escapes into the local market or into any other market is the 4eri.. est nonsense.

CRUSADE OF EXPOSURE"
The Magazines are Fighting the Fight
 of All Decent People.

Folk started the magazine crusade. He proved in the courts that St Louis was honeycombed with graft. He drove few respectable citizens" out of the state, and the people" with an inspiring disregard for poli- ties and precedents, voted him into the~ governors chair Last fall, in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi cago. Toledo, Cleveland. Cincinnati, Newark, wherever, in fact, the plain citizen had chance to vote against corporation machine bosses and for honest men--or men who looked honest, they made their votes over whelmingly felt. It was a widespread campaign for common decency in municipal and state affairs. The fight is progressing to-day. And the magazines. if Senator Lodge will be so good as to accuse them. will glad ly plead guilty as parties to this movement for a new sort of politics. That Is what the magazines have been, and are, fighting for, new sort of politics. They won't get 1t just yet, but they are fighting hard for 1t, and the usually polite grafters have lately done them the honor Of emitting fierce cries in their direc- tion. How much they have actually accomplished. 1t is too early to say, but 1t amounts to great deal. Mir Hughes attributes considerable part of his success to the fact that public opinion was firm behind him. Who aroused that public opinion Really, would Hughes have been possible without the preliminary work of Lawson ? And as to how much the present inspiring move ment for moderately honest. moder- ately savory government owes to the long. laborious work of Lincoln Stef- fens. there can be very little doubt.
 The few frenzied years seem to be past. From now on the sort Of thing will be carried on in somewhat auieter manner. But it will not stop. Never mind the motives of the pub | fishers. Motives are always mixed. even in the senate. Let us center our interest on the results.
 Senator Lodge and F. Hopkins Smith. seeing the filth. would let it | lie. It has been. and is, the policy tof the live magazines to stir up the filth and muck and throw it out.

WOMAN'S STRANGE JOKE.
Package She Called Valuable Sur
 prised Lawyers When Opened.

There is such thing as carrying a joke too far. Six years ago an Eng fish woman who was travelling in Canada deposited in the vaults of Toronto trust company a parcel care- fully bound and secured with num- Der of imposing seals. It was under stood that the parcel contained jew els of great value, and therefore it guarded with jealous care.
 A few weeks ago the English wo- man died, and clause in her will made mention of the deposit in trust in Toronto. After due process of law 1t was ordered that the seals be broken in the Canadian city. Heirs in the old land and one in far dis tant point in Canada sent their re- spective lawyers to be present at the opening of the valuable package. On the day appointed the lawyers assem- bled in a private office of the trust company Here is correspondents description of the scene that fol- lowed
 Red seals on the outside of the ray of green colored seals were en- countered. After this wrapping came fold after fold of paper. Then the lawyers saw an oblong pasteboard box, also carefully sealed. The excite ment was almost intense. Beads of precipitation stood out on the learned brows of the privileged few present. With the unfolding of each successive wrapping around the box they ex- pected to see the glitter of gold and the luster of diamonds. At last, with nervous fingers, it was opened; the treasure seemed near at hand. Two more folds of paper were undone, and several pairs of regal eyes saw an in- nocent and faded pair of corsets.
 Nothing is known of the motive for leaving the faded pair of corsets in trust deposit vault. We may as- sume that the English woman was eccentric and wished to play prank on her relatives. If so the joke was success-a she may not be able to appreciate 1t. There is mater ial for a novel in this incident. Will kie Collins or Charles Reade would have based an exciting three deck err on 1t. and had Conan Doyle fool ishly decided not to write more Sher- lock Holmes stories he could expand the episode into most bafiing de- tective problem.

DIRECTORS WHO DO NOT DIRECT

A great stir has been made in the world about dummy directors. One would think this were new discov- cry, whereas the fact is that most d. rcctors are dummies and have ever been so. The majority of them are on their respective boards because they were wanted for other purposes than directing. The statutes had to be complied with, custom had to be hon. ored, names are useful, and votes are absolutely necessary. Most directors do not direct. They vote as they are told to, pass resolutions which are prepared and laid before them by the man, or men, in control. approve the papers they are asked to approve, disapprove those they are asked to reject, listen to reports which have been boiled down to the bone and bereft of detail. pocket their fees, ad- journ, and. few minutes later. at- tend other directors meetings. for other companies. perhaps in the same street or even in the same ofiice building.
 Many boards meet only once in three months. They have executive committees of their members which meet once a week. Let us suppose that board is composed of fourteen or fifteen members, or more. and that the executive committee contains sew en members, or less. Very rarely Is there a full board meeting; it is not often that a majority Is present. Usually the official quorum has to he drummed up. This Is true. also, of executive committee meetings. The directors have so many meetings to attend that they can not be present at all of them. How. then. can they know much about the businesses which they are supposed to direct? i IT any of their employes knew as It. tie they could not hold their places for week.

MANS HEAD DROPS OFF.
But It Was Only Wax Man That the
 Sun Got Busy With.


 Hartford, June LA boy ran to Policeman Brazel at Main and Tenn pie streets yesterday afternoon and startled the cop with the announce ment that mans head had dropped of, up the street about block. With visions of horrible catastrophe, Brazel ran to the place and found big crowd around store window. Fighting his way through the crowd the policeman got near enough to the window to see that the joke was on him. The wax figure of a man sitting bolt upright in a chair had given way under the hot rays of the sun. The wax had melted away around the neck of the figure and the head hung down half way to the waist. It looked realistic enough. The figure was removed from the window.

Will Keep On Dying.

In one Of tho charges at Port Arthur only IF Japanese out of 4,000 escaped. It is probable, however, remarks the Chicago Record Herald, that men who took part in that fearful clash will keep dying over in Japan every few months during the next 60 or 70 years.

With Atlantic liners the cost of building is trife compared to the cost of running them. In less than three years the latter will exceed the cost of construction, so enormous IS the constant expenditure in wages, port dues and repairs.

RUSSIA,S "BULLDOC" ADMIRAL
Skrydlof Now Idol of the Nouy.

The Russian navy has figured more proml.
nently in the internal disturbances of that coun-
try than the army. This is especially true of the
sailors of the Black fleet who have within the
past few months taken extreme measures to aid
the revoutionists ashore, and the red laS OF
anarchy has been hoised at more than one Rus
sian masthead. Now the car proposes if possible
to squelch this spirit of rebellion among his sail
orS and has assigned Admiral Nicholas Skrydloff
to the command of the Black fleet giving to
him special powers to restore order and maintain
discipline.
Admiral Skrydof has been a conspicuous
figure in the Russian navy for number of years
During the war with Japan he was sent East to
that naval command at Port Arthur after the
death of Makarof, but was unable to reach that
place and during the Japanese war spent most

When Rabbi Bernhard Louis Levinthal was

given as great honor il possible
for the Jews of the country to bestow upon him,
and it is an honor he had fully earned by his
efforts in behalf OF the Jewish people.
Rabbi Levinthal is one of the best-known men
In Philadelphia, and is respected for his good
works by the Christian ministers of that city
quite as much as he is by his people. For
the past Is years he has been the rabbi OF the
United Orthodox Hebrew congregations of Phila-
delphia and the founder of many of the Hebrew
institutions Of tina city. He is founder and vice
president of the Orthodox Rabbncal Association

The annual house cleaning is in progress
at the White House. 1t would require an expert
mathematician to figure out just how many
coats Of paint how many yards of plasterng and
how much expenditure of money there have been
lavshed upon this historic old building. Every
year the interior is gone over and every year the
outside is either painted or washed, so that the
glistening whiteness may be retained.
The decorations o. the executive mansion
need careful attention always, and the paint and
enamel work has to be kept clean and free from
all marks and scratches. The multitude Of pill
grims who annually visit this building is disposed
to be critical and If any dirt or any DETACHMENT
OF decorations or walls is discovered, there Is
sure to be something ugly said about it. The
hard wood floors have to be cared for whenever
