Washington-The department Of ag-
riculture report on packing house con-
ditions in Chicago, otherwise known

of the inspection bureau, bureau of
andimal industry, and George P. Nc
Came, solicitor Of the department,
sign the report.
The Advantage Of inspection.
A part Of this report Is letter dated
April o, 1906, from A. d. Melvin, chief
of the bureau of animal industry, in
which he says, commenting ON the
sanitary conditions:
From personal observation / know
that sanitary conditions at abattoirs,
where this bureau maintains inspec-
ton, while not always sanitary, are
much superior to those at the average
establishment without such inspec-
ton"
Further, he says he knows that
many diseased animals are not
shipped to market centers where in
spection is maintained He advises
the most rapid extension of the in.
spectlon possible, and says the de
mand for inspection is much greater
than can be supplied.
The Scenes In Slaughter Houses.
1T might be we'll to state" he says
chat in any slaughter house, nc
matter how sanitary the conditions
may be, there is much that is revolt
ing to one not accustomed to such
sights, and one who visits them must
expect to witness scenes of blood and
offal, and to have his nostrils offend
ed by disagTeeable doors, as well as
to see f1ney-dressed beef and mutton
and tempting hams and bacon"
The report bears the date Of April IL
1t was forwarded to Chairman Wads
worth of the house agriculture com
mittee, who first requested the pres
ident for further information, with q
letter emphasizing the necessity fol
the immediate enactment of thorough
going federal inspection laws. The
president states that his investiga

The report deals with personal In
spection, and tells of conditions
which, in the opinion of the makers
thereof, could be improved.

Novelty in costumes and scenic effects

are said to be characteristics of Manager
Charles Frohman's production of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's poetic play "MiZpah,
which comes to the National Theater tomor-
row night. Founded upon the scriptural
book of Esther, this drama is calculated
the ancient empire of Persia, In the fifth
century before Christ. Exactly what king
of that great realm of antiquity was meant
by the Hebrew historian in his Ahasuerus
has not yet been definitely established be-
yon(i all dispute by biblical students, but IL
seems almost certain that Ahasuerus (the
general Jewish term for q Persian ruler)
was in this case either Xerxes or Artax-
erxes-in one of which cases Queen Esther,
the heroine of this grand old love romance,
would have been the historical Persian
Queen Amestris.. In their archaeological in
vestigations, In order to give proper his
torical fidelity to Mrs. Wilcox's play, the
producing forces of Manager Frohman have
been for months earnestly ransacking the
musty archives that pertain to the time of
Xerxes. AS a result playgoers will behold
a revivification of strange but highly pic
turesque, ancient Persian fashions, which
will afford a decided novelty in themselves
The scenery is by Ernest Gros and the cos
tunes by Dazian. The kings palace at
Shushan the imperial gardens. the grand
reception hall of Ahasuerus and the boudoir
of Queen Vashti will afford signal oppor
tunity for lavish pictorial richness, while
the presence of hundred personageS in
single scenes alone will make notable group
ings of unique costumes and properties. The
production is declared to be one of the most
colossal and expensive ever undertaken by
Mr. Frohman.
The cast includes j. H. Gilman. Adele
