formed in part the famous white
City" will not meet the sad fate of
the structures at the Buffalo, Chicago,
and st. Louis fairs, and instead Of be-
ing demolished, will be transformed
into hives of industry. A company
headed by a Seattle capitalist has pur-
chased the grounds and buildings for
$545,000, paying approximately $685.
600 for the grounds and $4,000 for the
buildings, not including the forestry
building, which belongs to the city.
The buildings alone cost $407, 900 less
than a year ago. The company's plans
are to establish factories which will
be housed in the exhibit buildings. 1t
is said that two wooden mills have
already spoken for space, and that a
big water pipe manufacturing firm is
negotiating for the transportation
building. The exposition site, lying at
the very edge of the city, with an area
of some seventy acres convenient to
transportation, both rail and water,
is remarkably we'll adapted for manu-
featuring purposes, and the buildings,
in the construction of which the very
best timber was used, will with slight
alterations stand the wear and tear
of years of active use. The investment
of outside capital in manufactures and
the resulting monthly payroll means

nor OH the alleged d~octoring in this
fashion of tainted meat and of prod
ucts returned to the packers as having
grown unstable or unusable from age
or from other causes. Grave allega-
lions are made in reference to abuses
of this nature.
LET me repeat that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
of stopping these abuses. if they
should be discovered to exist. Legisla-
ton is needed in order to prevent the
possibility of all abuses in the future.
II no legislation is passed then the ex-
cellent results accomplished by the
work Of this special committee will
endure only so long as the emo of
the committees work is fresh, and a
recrudescence of the abuses is abso-
lutely certain.
Il urge the immediate enactment into
law of provisions which will enable the
Department of Agriculture adequately
to inspect the meat and meat food
products entering into interstate COM
merce, and to supervise the methods of
peparing the same, and to prescribe the
sanitary conditions under which the
work shall be performed.
Il therefore commend to your favor
able consideration and urge the enact
ment Of substantially the provisions
known as Senate amendment No. 30 to
the act making appropriations for the
Department of Agriculture for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1907, as
passed by the Senate, this amendment
being commonly known as the Bev-
eridge amendment.

In the Boston Transcript DR.. William
Everett tells how he reproved a re-
proven and stood up for English as she
is spoken:
"Some thirty-seven years ago l wrote
a boys book. l spoke of the teacher,
or the boys, having found out some
thing. The proofreader marked it;
not in the least understanding what he
meant, l disregarded the mark, and
used the word again in the next chap
ter. Whereupon 1 was treated to this
marvellous comment: 'Colloquial; but
is not discover or ascertain better
in a printed book?' Whereupon Mr..
Proofreader got quotations from King
James Bible, Shakespeare, Milton.
Dryden and Addison, all in passages of
the most elevated sentiment"

of canned and dried English are COW

quail word turns up. AS if the chief
end of language were to write books in

600, worth himself several millions,
and a social leader in Pittsburg, killed
himself at the Hotel Schenley, where
he and his mother, Mrs. Cecilia C.
Jones-Murdock, occupied apartments.
No can be assigned for the
suicide other than that the young man
had been i'll for some time past, and
that he believed his ailment would
him either to go blind or become
insane. The only mystery surround
ing the suicide is as to how he OBJ
tanned the revolver with which he
killed himself. The Coroner believes
1t was struggled into his room by some
person whom he paid to do it. Every
effort was made to keep the fact that
he had killed himself a secret, his rela-
tive going so far as to attempt to have
the Coroner suppress the facts.
All the arrangements had been made
to TAKE Jones to Cambridge Springs.
In a statement which she made to the
Coroner, Mrs. Murdoch said that she
had spent most of the evening before
the suicide in her sons room preparing
for the trip.
She went to bed about midnight, but
entered his room again at 2 o'clock and
found her son seated at a window.
They talked together for some time,
and then she retired. At 4 o'clock
she waA awakened by a revolver shot.
Running into her sons room, she
found I'm lying ON the bed. She
raised his head, and soon afterward
he G;ed In her arms.

bis life. Mrs. Jones married DIR. f. H.

is at present in Boston attending a
medical convention. Jones, who was
just entering his thirty-sixth year, was
a graduate of Yale, and had been in
the steel business aver since he left

Berlin.-The petition of the German
Butchers Association Sent to Chan
cellor Won Buelow and Minister of Ag-
rlculture Won Podbielski against any
treaty arrangement with the United
States permitting increased imports of
meat AYERS that the great American
Strengthening companies, in order to ex-
pand their sales abroad, intended to
seek a relaxation of the German sani-
tary customs regulation through the
prospective negotiations. 1t begged
the Chancellor, in the interest of public
health and the material interests both
OF the butchers and farmers, not to
consider such a relaxation.
The petition r%eproduces copious ex-
tracts from Upton Sinclair's "The
Jungle" and concludes with a descrip-
ton of the wealth and power of the
so-called Meat Ring" in which it is
asserted that Daniel Elmer Salmon, the
former head of the Bureau of Animal
Industry at Washington, was forced to
retire, and the statement is made that
even the railways must bow to the
ring. The Government is then begged
not to open the German market to such
institutions, but it is suggested that
live cattle might be admitted, as the
United States has met with great sue
cess in combating Texas fever.

CHICAGO TURNS FROM MEAT.

Chicago.-Chicago is turning to the
diet of the vegetarian. Meats are
spurned by people all over the city.
The greatest slump ever experienced
in the demand for meat for consump-
ton in the homes, hotels and restaur-
ants of Chicago is on, because of the
publication of the Neill-Reynolds re-
port. :
Fish dealers are rejoicing because
The down turn in the meat trade has
brought a brisk demand for fish. In
many homes and hotels dishes in which
cheese and eggs figure prominently
have supplanted roast and broiIed
meats.
Meat market men generally admitted
that the disclosures affecting the
methods of the big packers at the stock
yards have caused a falling off in retail
business. The decrease in sales of
iausages and other manufactured prod
lets from the packing plants is de-
.lared to have been from thirty-fve to
forty per cent. throughout the city.
