they should be subjected to a more rigid sanitary
inspection. Nobody will oppose them in that dlrec-
ton We cannot be too clean, especially IN the
preparation Of our food This is the point where
the packers case is the weakest, and they say that
while they keep conditions clean as they can,
they will do still better hereafter if possible To
that end they have already made arrangements
The inspectors charge that tainted meat is used
in preparing canned meats This the packers fatty
deny and it seems to be of veracity between
them, which the public cannot judge without fur
ther evidence pro and con.
We have gone into the matter because 1t needs
careful consideration. The canned food industry,
both in meats and in fruits and vegetables, IS one
Of the greatest in America. Our export of canned
goods of all sorts foreign countries is enormous
and should not be hastily assaed slight ev
dence. 1t gives employment to many thousands OF
Americans and brings in annually millions OF for
eign dollars. This business should therefore, not
be trifed with II the packing concerns are really

TALENTED JAPANESE STUDENT
NEAR DEATH IN ILLINOIS
Suffering From Quick Consumption
After Making Remarkable Record
and Norfhwesfern ITniYersft

CHICAGO, June S.-After completing
the equivalent of five years work in
three years and his diploma almost in
his hands, Rikinosuke Hojo, Japanese
student in the Northwestern Univer-
sity, is dying of quick consumption in
the Evanston Hospital His physicians
declare that he cannot live more than
three weeks. Commencement exer-
cises that are to mark the completion
of his college course are but two weeks
distant and it is a question if he will
live to receive the diploma that will
be taken to his beside if he is alive to
accept it.
Mr.. Hojo. with a sister, went to
the Northwestern University from
Nagasaki, Japan, at the opening of the
second year of President James ad-
ministration in 1903, and became a
protege of the president. He spoke no
English, but in the Japanese universi-
ties he had mastered the German Ian
guage. in which he soon was able to
converse with his instructors.

GOVERNMENT AND THE PACKERS.

With all due respect to President Roosevelt and
full commendation of his efforts to clear the
American financial and commercial atmosphere Of
corporate abuses, it really seems after cool and
careful perusa of his message to Congress regard
ing the reprehensible practices of the Chicago
meat packers that he has not made out much of a
against them To be sure, be has raised an
uproar all the country, but are like sheep
and apt to follow their leader blindly and without
reflection, with tremendous hue and cry, without
knowing exactly what it is all about
The President makes sweeping charges of un-
ceanness and careessness ia the packing of canned
meats, but does give specific details sufficient
to warrant these charges. The packers have an
swered the report of the Government inspectors and
have obviously thus far made the best showing
The inspectors adduce the discovery of two or
three dead animals in day. The packers retort
that considering that some $4,000 or $4,000 head
of live stock daily received at Chicago it would
be surprising if there were not some dead among
them after their demoralizing railroad transit from
the peaceful farm or lonely range to the hustle
and noise Of a great city. They state that there
are more or less dead cattle sheep and hogs among
the receipts every day. The same may be seen
every day in San Francisco for that matter. bv
any one who cares to 90 to Butchertown 1t can
hardly be otherwise.
The inspectors say that the preliminary stages
of the preparation of canned meats are revolving
OF course they are. The slaughter of animals is
always revolving, except to the butchers who are
used to the daily spectacle shambles is a
shocking place at best If people who like their
juicy steaks and chops were to see the slaughter OF
these steers and sheep in the abattoirs they would
not feel ike eating any more beef or mutton fol

Cafe Chantant at Mrs c. F. MacDer-
mot's Thursday night, in Oakland, far
exceeded the dreams of the most optim-
istic. Once the gates had been passed
a veritable fairyland was disclosed. A
moonlit garden stretching away into
far-reaching. dim outlines,
strings of gay lanterns defining every
the midst OF thick foliaged trees and
wandering through ell like modern
fairies, men and richly gowned wo-
men gave animation-to the scene. The
cafe was in an inclosed corner OF the
garden and the large audience faced
small stage perfect in every detail.
At the beginning of the programme

BATON ROGUE, La. June S-The
saving of the State Capitol from de-
struction by fire last night was ac-
complished in a spectacular manner
with Governor Blanchard, assisted by
many Louisiana legislators dressed
in their night clothes and by hundreds
of citizens, supplementing the fire de-
partment. The fire started from a
defective wiring near the roof of the
Senate chamber, destroying the Capt.
tolls eastern wing above the first floor.
The loss was between $4,000 and
$1,000
Among the valuables in the Senate
chamber, where the roof fell in, was
the famous painting The Battle of
New Orleans" valued at $4,000.
Governor Blanchard directed the
work of saving valuable papers.
The Capitol is an imposing piece of
architecture on the bank of the Miss
issippi 1t was first built in 1S47 and
was destroyed by fire during the Civil
War. The present structure was
erected in 1880.
