In these days of depressing reports
relative to the conditions of some OF
the big packing houses of the country
it Is cheering to know that all pack.
ing houses are not conducted with
utter disregard of proper sanitary con-
ditions. Richmond is fortunate in the
manner in which her home cured meat
products are handled and inspections
prove that there is no ground for
complaint or even of mild criticism
The Richmond Abattoir Company
whose plant is located on Liberty av
enue, has always permitted it's latch
string to remain out and visitors have
always been welcomed. The condi
tions that prevail at the abattoir are
such 1t is declared that even the clos
est scrutiny fails to disclose anything
in the process of killing, handling and
curing meats that is either unhealth
full or uncleanly. So after all If every
thing said about the great city pack
ing houses Is true, Richmond need not
be alarmed for she has a home plant
that will stand the test.

COMMENT ON MINISTER
A SHELBYvILLE EDITOR WANTS
HIM TO TELL WHY HE is IN
LINE WITH THOMAS TAGGART
OF FRENCH LICK.

The movements of the Rev, Thomas
Fl. Kuhn, Democratic candidate for
Congress are being faithfully recorded
in the district newspapers and editor
ial comments are not uncommon. The
Shelbyville Republican of yesterday
contained the following editorial:
The Rev. r. II. Kuhn, of Richmond,
Democratic candidate for congress,
was in Shelbyville yesterday in the
interest Of his candidacy and before
he left he put half tone electrotypes
of his photograph in the hands of the
Democratic newspapers to use for adj
vertising him. The picture was print
ed in one Democratic newspaper and
look out for the Kuhn" Yes, the
watch dog will look out for the Kuhn,
a l when he gets sight of him will
force him to hide himself to the lofty
branch.
We wonder what explanation the
Rev. Mr.. Kuhn made yesterday about
his condition with Tom Taggart, ma
tional chairman and count of Monte
Carlo" of French Lick. The Rev.
Kuhn is pastor of a church in Rich
mond and it would be interesting to
hear from the candidate his explana-
ton of why he will accept aid from
such man as Taggart in order to get
into congress. What balm he would
take to ease his conscience on thu
point would be interesting to learn.

five cases would be reported. The dis

THE STATE DEPARTMENT
Publishers PreSs1

Washington, June 22.-The Presi-
dent continues to jar members of Con
gress by appointing men to office
without consulting them. A few days
ago he named Huntington Wilson, Of
Illinois, Third Assistant Secretary of
State. An hour after the nomination
reached the Illinois Senators. Cullo1n
and Hopkins were trying to find out
something about the aDDointee. They
did not known him, although he has
been an assistant secretary at the To
kio legation.
Yesterday afternoon, after the an
nouncement that William c. Dennis.
of Richmond, Ind, had been appoint
ed assistant solicitor for the State
Department, members of the Indiana
delegation might have been seen in
consultation. Who's Dennis?" they
were asking. After some inquiry, it
developed that the appointment had
been made on the recommendation of
Solicitor Scott. of the State Depart
ment, who was formerly associated
with Mr.. Dennis in educational work.
The appointment is regarded as a
good one, but the Congressman do
not like to be overlooked when plans
are being passed around

The Value, and UsefhIneas Of These
Clnasca of Woods.
Though generally assumed that oak
Is the wood capable of being put to the
greatest variety Of uses, 1t is known, as
matter OF fact, that the pine ia really
the most used, on account OF its great
abundance. Nevertheless, the timber OF
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements Of strength ind durability,
hardness and elasticity In degree
which no other tree cain boast. unrlval-
cd as a material Of shlpbuilding, also
superior In architecture, cablnetmak-
Ing. carving. mill work. cooperage AMI
inn,imerable other purposes. while the
bark is of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding bitter extract in con.
tinual demand for medicinal purposes
But OF uses for tho pine details would
be well nigh endless. The timber is In.
valuable in houses and ship carpentry
common turpentine Is extracted from Il
in vast quantities and immense sup.
piles of tar, pitch. resin and lampblack.
In the manufacture Of matches, and
above MI, paper pulp, thousands and
tens OF thousands of acres of pine for.
ests are cut down every year, and,
briefly, the timber of this tree, consti-
tuting as It docs the chief material OF
English md American builders. may be
said to be more used than oil other
kinds OF wood put together.

WRECKS ON HOLIDAYS.

For the past few years on every
holiday, whether 1t be Christmas,
Fourth OF July, Thanksgiving or New
Years. there has been one or two
fearful railroad wrecks 1t has got
to be such matter of course that the
newspaper reader on the morning af-
ter a holiday, wonders as he Is open
ing his paper how much space will
be devoted to glazing headlines tell
Ing the awful stories of wrecks and
of the detailed horrors which always
accompany such unfortunate affairs.
Christmas day, of the year of 1906 was
no exception to the rule. in fact, 1t was
q little worse than usual
There were in various parts of the
country eight wrecks In which peo-
pie lost their llvee and were injured
and 1t Is fact to be deplored that
the majority Of the catastrophes were
on Southern roads. The Southern had
three and the Seaboard one. The 9th
or wreck in the South was on the Rio
Grande.
railway horror Is bad enough at
any time. but 1t seems doubly worse
when nation Is celebrating n holiday
and 1t would seem as IL the railroads
could prevent these accidents. 1t does
not make any difference with the New
York Central or the Pennsylvania
whether they have n holiday rush on
their ro9ds. You do not read of them
sacrificing lives by the score because
the travel Is unusually heavy. They
have bad accidents occasionally, it is
true, but they are not weekly or
monthly occurrences as they are on
some OF the Southern roads. 1t must
be that the accidents are the result of
bad management 1t cannot be that
they are all due to bad luck" which
Is II favorite term of some railroad
people to cover UP a multitude of sins.
Perhaps the fault is with the directors
who will not give the officials enough
of money with to operate the roads as
they should be conducted; perhaps it
Is with the officials themselves, but
whoever Is Is at fault, It is certainly
time for tho Interstate Commerce
Commission to take an active hand In
the game and not only enact proven
tive measures. but also see that the
railroads obey their orders.

THE BLuEeEARD STORY.
II Has n Mythical Rnther Than Z
NEUROLOGICAL Origin.


NEUROLOGICAL Origin.
The fascinating story of Bluebeard
has mythical rather than mytho
logical origin. No one has found his
prototype In the yedns or in the old
Greek or Roman authors. The story
Is supposed to be of French origin,
and 1t has even been suggested that
Bluebeard was no other than the much
married. Henry VIII. There u. how
ever, better reason for believing that
the original was Giles de Laval, lord
Of Riaz, who was marshal of France
early In the fifteenth century. He was
brave soldier whose exploits in the
wars between England and France are
recorded in history. According to
Mlzeray, he murdered his wives as
soon as lie tired Of them, and was him.
self eventually strangled In 144O.
The story OF Laval has, however, NOT
many points of resemblance, for there
is no mention of key, and Giles dc
Laval. moreover, used to entice per.
sons Of both sexes to his castle for the
sake of their blood. which he wanted
for certain incantRtions lie INDUCED in.
Nor. indeed, does the story At in with
our own Henry Will, and we. are left
TO believe that, whatever the origin,
the key and Sister Ann were added for
the snke OF effect. A variant OF the
story OF Giles de Laval Is told by Hol.
inshed, In whose version the name Is
Giles de Retz. Marquis de Laval, whd
lived in Brittany, and was strangled
and burned for the murder of his seven
wives. DR.. G. Taylor, 1t may be added,
regarded the story simply as fiction, a
satire on or type Of the castle lords Of

Tried tho Encct of a Title.

Among the neighbors who annoy ed
Carlyle none perhaps gave him SO
much trouble as the boys who played
about near his house. They made no
secret of their dislike of the philoso-
pher and stood in dread of his stick
when he went abroad. James Waylep
who did great part of the research
for the Cromwell" and who was at
Carlyle's house almost daily, was one
morning standing OH tiie doorstep of
the house In Cheyne row waiting to
be let i'll when one of these young
urchins came up to him In deferen-
tlal manner. and, touching his cap,
said: please, sir, would you ask
Lord Carlyle to give mo my top? It's
tumbled down his nirey." During the
mornings work Carlyle and Waylen
chuckled together over the conclliatory
title which the lad had created for hls
enemy.
