THE MEAT WE EAT.

In the light of the recent work by the Chicago board of health at the Chicago stock yards, described in an outside paper recently received in ification for suspicion as to the eff fectiveneSS of the governments in spection of the meat supply of the country. This work is conducted by the bureau of animal industry, subdivision of the agricultural de- partment. It is the business of this bureau to maintain a healthy, clean, and wholesome supply of meat for foreign export and interstate com merce.
 There mas for a number of years been more or less ill-defined criti- cism as to the careless way in which meat for home consumption was ex- amined, and last year the core spondent of a leading British medical journal severely criticized, in a series
  stock yards. Little notice was talk en of them in this country because of the obviously prejudiced state of mind of the writer.
 About the middle of last summer, however, a new man, Dr. Charles J. Whalen, took charge of the Chicago board of health, and one of his first acts was to investigate the work of his two local inspectors at the stock yards. As a result the diseased meat cOndemnations of the local depart ment were soon raised from a few thousand pounds per week to over a hundred thousand, and during the last fourteen days of December near ly four hundred thousand pounds of diseased and otherwise unwholesome nealths' inspectors.
 In many cases carcasseS passed by government inspectors, and bearing the government stamp, were found diseased by the local inspectors, and both Dr. Whalen and his bacteriolo- gist explicitly state that if it had not been for the increased activity of their inspectors thousands of pounds of diseased meat would have been sold in the city of Chicago.
 If this means what it seems to mean-namely, that the present gov ernment inspection is not effective in preventing the sale of great quanti- tis of diseased meat throughout the country-there is certainly cause for severe arraignment of tle bureau of animal industry, although not, per haps, for much surprise. The vast amount of meat which it's inspectors have to pass upon every day and the race horse speed at which they work must render any effective inspection practical impossibility.
 In the large cities one might be inclined to assume that even where the government inspectors fail the ocal health board would detect the diseased carcasses and the consumer be protected. In Chicago, at least, this assumption has been disproved by Dr. Whalen's discoveries. As for the smaller cities and towns through out the country, practically their sole reliance is on the effectiveness of the national governments work.
 In view of the state of things found in Chicago it would certainly not be unreasonable for Secretary Wilson to ask congress for larger corps of meat inspectors. If the work | is worth doing at all it is worth do- ing thoroughly and effectively, | which, it seems, is impossible with | the present force.

TOO NICE.

General Horace Porter was talking about a French artist.
 "The man is talented, and a good conversationalist," he said, but he is too gushing. He is oversympathetic In his desire to be agreeable he goes too far.
 Perhaps I can best explain what I mean by little story-the story of a young girl
 This young girls sweetheart said to her one evening:
 Were you aware that passed your house last night?'
 "She gave him a glance full of re- prOach.
 "'Of course I was.' she said. Do you think l would not know your step?'
 But he, at this, grew grave and distrait, for he had passed in a cab"

LEAPS FROM WINDOW
TO ESCAPE FLAMES
Aged Colored Man Meets Death-Was
Highly espected-Leaves
Widow Penniless.

A long and faithful life was tragically
ended in the Freedmen's Hospital last
night. Isaiah Ross. an Old cOloTed man,
had walked three hours before 10 dis
cover his room and bed in flames. and,
in the desperation of this discovery, had
leaped from a second story window TO
the pavement below
The accident occurred at Ross home,
II39 Eleventh street, at about o'clock.
IN his leap from the window Ross struck
full upon his head, causing injuries that
resulted in his death at the hospital
where he was removed. Everything pos
sibie was done to save the old man S
life but from the first it was seen he
was fatally hurt.
It is assumed that an oil stove, which
had been placed in the room, became
overheated, the heat causing an explo-
sion of the oil in the reservoir This is
believed TO have set the room in flames.
Ross was greatly esteemed and re-
spected by those who knew him-by his
white friends not less than those Of his
own race. One of the former this morn
Ing paid him this tribute:
Isaiah Ross was a good citizen.

the term Of gentleman.
His aged wife was a fit partner fol-
him. Together they represented a class
fast disappearing. but remembered
with kindly affection by all those to
whom Uncle and Nanny are sig

His death leaves his stricken wife
penniless and entirely alone, as they
had no children. Never before have
