AIr Huxford thought for a few mo-
ments and then said.
Il am not surprised. I am not sufi-
ciently prominent to take up space in
newspapers And with that the sub
ject was dropped Miss Miller was
given vacation and soon after her re-
turn 70 duty her employer started for
another trip

serve anything good said about me in
print. This time wish you would clip
anything bad said about me-
Mr.. HuXford was gone but half the
time of his previous trip and when he
returned had forgotten all about the
clippings. He found Miss Miller III
from overwork and sent her into the
country at once to recoup. When she
returned there was plenty for her to
do and she was very busy. One day
Mr. Huxford said to her:

"0h, there are uniattering refer

Miss Miller opehed a drawer In heI
desk, took out huge bundle Of clip
pings and laid them before her EN-
ployer. He looked quite disconnected
at first but, regaining his equanimity
began to examine them, reading aloud

London, July If. The Britishers who

Chicago meat packing revelations were
yesterday confronted with the annual
report Of the inspector Of factories and
workshops, which shows that the condi-
tions here are quite as revolving as any.
thing alleged Of the western packing
centre. Dirty factories and disgusting
methods seems to be the rule instead Of
the exception. Jam factories. bakeries
and sausage makers are all ensured as
being equally filthy and the description
of one fits most of the others, Here is
the report Of typical jam factory;
"rhe boiling room lay between the yard
and the stable and the horses reached
the latter through the boiling room. The
sanitary accommodation was hardly
separated from tie rooms where the
fresh fruit and uncovered jams were
kept. and the floors were dirty and I'M

Another factory inspector found Jam
pots being washing III "liquid like dark
soup which smelled aboininablg. The
manager informed the Inspector that the
water was changed about once . week.

OF A NOTED SCIENTIST
Woman Who Died at 1o5 After 40 Years

Few Traces Of

New York, July 11,--Whether Or not
diet Of bread and milk taken exelu-
sively for 40 years is responsible for
the remarkable preservation from the
effects Of cid age shown in the body Of
Mrs. MARY Fay. who died At the age
of los years few days ago, Is caus-
ing intense interest among physicians.
Despite the extreme age Of Mrs. Fay
her body Was IN as perfect physical
condition and us well nomished as that
OF woman Of 30 OF 81 years Of age,
according to Coroner's Physician Dr..
Philip O'Handon. lie is wondering
whether on not this is d cor
roboration Of the theory Of Prof. Ellie
Metchnikoff of Paris, who believes that
By diet Of sour or clTdled milk the
germs of putrefaction, which, accord
ing to his theory, produce old age,
may be successfully conbatted
Mrs. Fay was born in Tpperary in

OF waning strength.
The convention OF the Industrial
Workers Of the World which was
scheduled TO be held in Chicago on
June 81 has been postponed indefinite,
". The reason given is the uncertaluiy
Of the outcome Of the trial OF Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, the officials
of the Western Federation Of Miners,
nav on sial on charges Of being i'm
plicatel In the murder OF former Gov.
ernor steunenberg Of Idaho.
In an official announcement to the
membership relative to the postpone,
ment the officers say that If the ac.
cused leaders OF the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners are acquitted the con.
vention undoubtedly will be the most
important ever held by the working
class In the country" That sounds
much like the call for the convention
one year aga when the l. w w. was
organized, hut the Importance or The
movement has not become observable
yet
The real reason for the postponcment
Of the convention Is said TO be that the
leaders are not willing 10 disclose the
weakness OF the organization at this
critical time. as most Of the locals have
no money TO send delegates to the con-
vention.
