Sends a Bogus or Real Internal
Machine to the Governor
of Pennsylvania.
EXECUTIVE CLERK IS vIGILANT
Soaks the Continuance in Water Until
1t Is Harmless Anyhow-It Car
ries a Curious Message.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 6. - 4 sus-
picious looking package containing
what appeared to be an internal ma
chine was found in Governor Penny
packers mail at the executive man
sion. 1t was about three inches square
and resembled in shape baking pow
der box. Newspaper clippings were
tied around the box with small pieces
of yellow ribbons. The peculiar ap-
pearance of the package excited the
suspicion of Executive Clerk Lynch,
who placed it in q bucket of water
and let it soak for several hours.
Construction of the Machine.
Upon being opened it was found to
contain a small case resembling
cartridge shell surrounded by black
powder and was intended to be explod-
ed by the removal OF the lid. The
package was addressed to the govern
or. On the outside there was a wide
red band, on the outside OF which was
pasted the name THE Ridgeway COM
pany, 81 East Seventh street, New
York" and this newspaper extract:
Loud Call for Help.

true place of honor of righting Of
wrongs in American life through the
rnearthlng Of the beef scandal, insur-
ance scandal railroad scandal, land
grabbing scandals, banking scandals,
the revelations of municipal loot and
political graft, proves that the moral
sense is keen in the American people,
An awakened public conscience is back

tumble without Sense.
Inside of the wrapper were words
carefully clipped from newspapers and
closely pasted to the tin. Among them
were Capitol Dedication" Keep
TO the right" ''Penrose." "Pennsy,"
why is it," Anarchist" The re-
mainder formed a tumble from which
no sense could be extracted.
Was IL a Practical Joke
None of the attaches would discuss
the subject. but it was generally re-
ga7ded as a practical joke. The con-
structon of the machine" was not
such as TO have rendered it very dan
gerous, even though it had exploded

Poison in the Pot.

Arguments for preferring farm life to
all others are receiving additional i'm
petus in these piping DAYS of investiga-
tiOn and exposure. The charms of rural
life. always a favOrite theme of the
poets, have been so added to on the
practical side bv modern invention that
all hands were about to agree that there
was no existence to be compared to that
on "a little farm. well titled" located
near trolley line, strung with tele-
phone wires and in touch with the rural
free delivery. But ii any doubt linger-
ed 1t has been dispeled by the advocates
Of the pure food bills and the muck
rakers who stuck their forks into the
mysteries of the packing yards. The
farmer seems to be the only man that is
safe in these DAYS of miasmatic mix
lures and devilish authorizations The
only way to be sure OF your meat is to
raise 1t yourself. do all the feeding. the
killing, the skinning and the cooking.
You must not take your eye off the ami
NAL at any stage of the process until it
has been landed in the stomach. Ifany
middleman steps in at any conjuncture,
II he is allowed to work his game at any
turn in the process, YOU are not safe.
Here we were innocently and unslis-
piciOusly devOuring the steaks and hams
and sausage and sauce that was set be-
fore us, undisturbed by doubt and I'M
ruffled by lack of confidence. We sup
posed things were what they seemed,
but, alas, there has been a rude awaken
ing. If an article now before us. by 4.

ally, it is practically impossible to get
any pure food in this country. The but
ter is covered with coal-tar dyes; the
meat has more or less embalming fluid;
the catsupis colored with coal dyes and
has salicylic acid in 1t. The lard in
which the potatoes are fried probably
contains portions of hogs that have died
natural deaths and not been slaue ltereti
under sanitary conditions; possibly it
died of some disease, The bread is full
of alum; the tea and coffee contain cor-
per; the vegetables have different var
ieties of artificial c0lOring. AS to pep
per, We are gravely informed. anything
pure in that line is out of the question.
Either the trees have quit growing. the
berries have ceased to ripen. or the
