SOLDIERS DRANK WOOD ALCOHOL
Ten Military Prisoners Poisoned at Castle William, New York.


 NEW YORK, Feb. Drinking free ly of wood alcohol which had been smug- gled into Castle William. the military prison on Governors island, one sol dier is dead, another is dying and eight are seriously i'll in the hospital. Tbe deadly chemical was drunk by the pris. oners in the belief that it was pure al- cohol and was consumed after it had been mixed with water. General Fred erick Dent Grant, in command, has or dered rigid investigation.
 Robert Elwell. private serving 6 two years sentence for desertion from New England post, was the first to show the effects of the draft. He aroused the entire castle with cries of Help! I am burning up. Will nobody help ne: l am burning up." When the guard reached his side he was writhing in pain, shrieking and crying out for help. He was removed to the hospital, and the post surgeon was summoned. Restoratives failed, and he died in a few minutes.
 Scarcely had his cries ceased when screams came from the cell occupied by Richard Sullivan. a private, who is serving short term for desertion. sul. livsn was removed to the hospital and is reported unconscious. with little prospect of recovery. IL was not until eight other prisoners were found writh. ing and moaning from pain that the real source of the trouble leaked out, when it was learned that all had par taken freely of wood alcohol.

The foes of the pure food law have showed their hands in the senate by introducing measure striking out all but the enacting clause of tue Hepburn bill preparatory to substituting for it q bill prepared by the National Food Manufacturers association. Now a national pure food law has been long and urgently needed. It touches every man, woman and child in the country. especially the children, and it is a law that no honest manufacture has any thing to fear from. Ii has been urged by all state food authorities and by all of the agricultural colleges of the coun- try. The Hepburn bill was drawn un- der expert advice to 1ll this particular need and it put the execution of the law into the hands of the department of agriculture, where it would be en- forced. It also made the department of commerce and labor tbe treasury department and the department of jus tic" parties to its administration. It was not q measure that any manufac- turcr vG impure food liked, and as they did not dare 10 figbt it in the open. they have prepared substitute which will Ie SO placed that it is likely to die of hamilton.
