London. July -. Britishers who
have been so %virtuous recently over
the Chicago meat packing revelations
We're today confronted with the an
nual report of the inspector of factories
and workshops, which shows condi-
ions here quite as revolving as any
thing alleged in the western packing
center.
Dirty factories and disgusting meth
DDS seem to be the rule instead of the
exception. Jam factories. bakers and
sausage makers are all censured as be-
ing equally filthy and the description
of one fits most OF the others. Here is
the report on a typical jam factory:
The boiling room lay between the
yard and stable. and horses reached
the latter through the boiling room.
The sanitary accommodation was
hardly separated from the rooms where
the fresh fruit md uncovered jam were
kept. and the floors We're dirty and UNI
drained"

RUSH FOR TICKETS. Polls Will Hold Big Crowd at St Francis Xavier Entertainment.

It was big surprise to a great many who appeared at Poli's box of- flee this morning to exchange tickets for the entertainment of St Francis Xavier's parish which is to be given at Polls tomorrow evening when they found that nearly all the re- served seats had been taken. Long before the opening of the box office crowds of people crowded the lobby and formed in line eager to exchange their tickets for reserved seats. It was steady rush for nearly an hour and when the late ones appeared they found that most of the choice seats had been sold out. There are,
 however. some good seats left and those who desire to change their tickets for reserved seats should do so without delay. The last dress re- hearsal before the entertainment was held yesterday morning and those who took part acted more like pro- fessionals than amateurs. In the entertainment one Is given a little of everything. It will not be tiresome or long drawn out as such entertain ments usually are. There will be no delays and from the time the curtain
 goes up until the end the audience will find plenty to keep 1t interested.

POLE MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
Michael Kelly Says Calvin Stsst k Hs
 PepsTty Does Not Want Light

The electric light ordered installed at the corner of Baldwin and Calvin streets is likely to be source of con- siderable trouble to the board of pub- lie works and the Connecticut Rail- way & Lighting Co. Objection was raised to putting at the point desig- mated by the city fathers and then an effort was made to ward on the trouble by referring 1t to Commits sioner Hartnett. with the under standing that he should look over the ground and have the light in stalled some distance from Baldwin street. It appears that Mr Hartnett thought 1t would be good plan to put 1t in the center of the street, but some of the property owners are up in arms over that location and claim that in case it Is set up there they will cut 1t down. Michael Kelly, who owns considerable property in that street, notified some of the commits siOners to-day to the effect that Gal win street belongs to him. not to the the light installed in the center of the street. He says he opened that street at his own expense and al- though he often asked the city to ac- cept it theX have not done so yet and until they do this he has right to say whether or not light shall be placed there which instead of being a benefit to him would be great hardship. Just what will be done in the premises is something nobody knows at this time, but 1t might not be amiss to state that the neighbors ought to get together on 1t and agree on some spot before long. If they keep warning over 1t the appropria- tion for that purpose may be ex- hausted and then they will have to spend another year in the darkness. Lights are good things and as the city never has great deal of money for that purpose there is always quite scramble for them, and when they come peoples way they should be welcomed.

REPUBLICANS BUCKING

MIuersburg, Oct. 15.-The PROPOSE
ton to submit to the voters of Holmes
county the question of a county public
library at the coming November elec-
ton promises to figure prominently
in politics. The Republicans oppose
the proposition of an election and
they are charged with doing this
by reason of the danger of large
vote coming out to vote on the propo-
sition and this would be detrimental
to the interests of M. L. Smyser, the
Republican candidate for congress.
They have got busy with the secretary
of state in order to head off the library
proposition and have even called for
an opinion from the attorney general
of the state. This latter through w,
H. Miller, the assistant, has rendered
an opinion that he can find no law
for submitting such a proposition to
vote, but that the commissioners
must decide the matter. The Demo
Gratis say that Mr.. Smyser has been
at Columbus using his influence in
preventing the vote in order that
light vote might be made possible in
this strong Democratic county uus
thus enhance his chances for e,ec-
ton. The next thing they may do Is
to try and get out an injunction to
prevent Mr.. Bryan speaking here
on October 26, an event that will do
the Republicans more damage than
library vote.
The Independent Republicans are
not caring for the library nor for Mr..
Smyser, but keep their eyes solely on
the big Republican bosses who dictate
nominations at their sweet will and
will vote to rid the party of these
pests as they did last year. The
postoffice seekers may go their length
in preventing the people from express
ing their opinion on the library ques-
ton in order to benefit their candidate
for congress, but they must shoulder
the responsibility for so doing, and
whether a vote on the library is had
or not, the defeat of Mr.. Smyser is as
certain as 2 and make 4.

BROUWER
ON STAND
Swears He Never Gave
Wife Arsenic or Other
wise Harmed Her.

Toms River, N. j., Oct. 15.-"As
God is my Judge, never gave my
wife arsenic. loved her too well
to have harmed her."
Shaking with emotion, his face indi-
eating the ordeal through which he
has passed, DR.. Frank L. Brouwer, on
trial for the murder of his wife, cap
ped the climax of an afternoon of tes-
timony in his own behalf just before
court adjourned today by swearing
with uplifted right hand in the pres
ence of judge and jury, that the ale
cations against him were utterly false.
Brouwer proved a good witness for
himself At times he waxed dramatic.
With tears streaming down his
cheeks, he denied the assertions that
his wife had ever charged him with
being unfaithful to her, and gave the
lie to the members Of the Hyer fam
lily, who on the stand had sworn that
he had threatened to get divorce.
According to Brouwer the quarrel be-
tween himself and wife was due to
the latter's furnishing their younger
child, because he would not go to
sleep. Brouwer described fuzzy his
wifes last illness and the treatment
given her by himself and other ply
sicians He declared that the medical
witnesses who have testified that mus
cular contraction WIS a. vidence in
the patient, running from the feet to
the head. were in error. Muscular
commissions were plainly manifest, he
admitted, but their course was down
| ward. not upward,
He stated that after the meal which
precipitated his wife's illness the SER
want in the house was also i'll for two
days. He absolutely repudiated the
theory of the prosecution that his
| conduct as the friend of the women
who had been mentioned In connection
with the case, was such as to give his
wife any cause for jealousy, and fur
ther asserted that his wife was not
naturally a jealous dispositioned WON
an Many women in the court room
wept in sympathy with DR.. BrouweI
as he gave his testimony, and today's
proceedings were without exception
the most dramatic so far. Brouwel
will be further cross examined TO-
morrow when court re-assembles.

Free TRANSPORTATION Rules.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Although in
terstate oil lines have been made COM
mon carriers by law the Interstate
commerce commission today decided
that agents of oil or lubricating COM
panies do not come within the classes
to which free or reduced railroad
transportation can be lawfully furnish
ed. The commission sanctioned the
issuing of round trip tickets on GER
tificate plan to cover the transporta'
ton of government employees going
home to vote. The commission also
interprets the free pass provision OF
the new law to permit the issuing OF
free transportation to any person trav-
cling over its lines solely for the pur'
poses of attending to the business OF,
or performing a duty imposed upon
the carrier Household or personal Ell
fects of any employe may be carried
free. The commission holds that the
law does not prevent the giving OF
free or reduced rates by carrier over
it's lines to contractors for material
supplies, and men for use In construc
| ton, ETC., on that line, provided the ar
rangement is made part OF the specl
| fications. A copy of the contract OF
4 memorandum of it must be filed
with the commission.

CLOSER UNION
Demanded Between Great Britain and
Her Colonies.


London, Oct. 15.-Closer union be-
tween Great Britain and its colonies
Is being urged by constantly grow
ing party, which points to the danger
of a complete disorganization of the
empire as a result OF demands from
every quarter for home rule and
rights In many cases conflicting with
those of the central government. A
council of the empire is advocated
by the tmperialists, where such con-
troversies can be discussed without
embarrassment to parliament or the
ministry. Were Newfoundland organ
ically connected with the home gov
ernment, 1t is argued, there could
have been no such dispute as 8 pend
ing over the American fisheries ques-
ton. A similar complication has aris-
en- as a result of the Australian SEN
ate's insistence on such conditions in
the bill granting preference to British
goods as will surely bring England
into conflict with other nations over
treaty relations. Downing street is
passing through a series of difficulties
in connection with South Africa which
belong to the same category. Indias
demand for home rule suggests similar
troubles in that direction.
