Pure Food Law Defended.

DR.. \. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department, in an interview,
defends the national pure-fooI law from
the attacks of those who charge the in
creased cost of living to its operation. DR..
Wiley admits that pure foods are worth
more, and should bring higher prices in
the markets than dsbased foods, and says
that any legitimate rise in the price on
this account is benefit to the consumer
rather than to the producer, and should
be regarded as a blessing and not as a
curse. He calls attention 10 the fact that
while pure foods have advanced in price
the adulterated articles have declined.
Nevertheless he points out that the great
staple articles which form 80 per cent
Of the food supply, are not, and cannot .be,
affected by this law. He warns the pub
lie that in no case does the government
guarantee the purity of any article manu-
facturad and sold, but merely aims to
have the goods sold for what they are.

LIVES LOST IN EARTHQUAKE.
Ffssures Opened Up mt Tore Ii
Ribera, Spain.

A violent earthquake has occurred at
Tore la Ribera, in the province of Hues-
ca, Spain. The earth opened, leaving
great assures, the disturbance being ac-
companied by subterranean rumblings,
which caused a panic among the popu-
lation. Many houses were shaken down.
An unknown number of lives have been
lost.
The province of Huesca lies in the
northern portion Of Aragon and is bound
ed on the north by France and on the
east by the province of Lerida. 1t has
an area of 5,S72 square miles, with a
population of approximately 275,0O0. The
capital city of the province is Huesca,
with a population of over 10000 people.
The city is well built and of pic
turesque nature, but is in a decayed state.
The principal building of the town is it,
cathedral, which has numerous statues
and a magnificent altar piece. The city
has fifteen converts and founding asy-
lum and the ancient palace of the kings
Of Aragon.

WILL ASK AUTO MAIL CAR.
Postal League to Press Its Plan
Before Congress.

The next Congress will be asked to pro-
vide for an experiment in automobile post
offices for rural delivery service This sug-
geStion, was made at meeting OF the
Postal Progress League receHrly by James
l.. Cowles, the secretary and treasurer OF
the league.
Mr.. Cowles estimated that the present
loss to the government On rural delivery
| service amoanted to $172 for each route.
With the adoption Of automobiles and
change in the postal regulations to permit
| a local rural parcels delivery with a
| weight limit of eleven pounds, Mr.. Cowles
declared rural delivery would become
profit instead of a loss to the government.
Following out this suggestion, the
league will ask Congress for an appropria-
tion of 100000 to test the plan. Mr..
Cowles' calculations were made for q
route of twelve miles covered twice day.
lie estimated that the cost of these trips,
including the carriers salary, would
amount to only So day, which would be
more than provided for if each of some
1T5 families along the route paid only 3
cents day for parcels from the town.
Frederick c. Beach, the president of the
league. said that the National Grange,
the association which obtained the passage
o. ,,e rEoc alcohol Eli, would back the
Postal Progress League in this and its
other postal reforms. President Beach
was empowered by the meeting to appoint
a committee to draw up petitions to be
presented to Congress this coming win

EUROPMANlA Is COSTLY.
S90O,O00,000 Goes Abroad i'm AIIi-
ances with Nobility.

More than 400 American girls have
married foreigners of noble families and
many of them have taken big fortunes to
their European husbands.
French journal, lie Petit parisien,
declared the other day that Amcr!canl
girls who had married abroad, mostly for
foreign titles, had carried with them to
Europe the astonishing sum of S9OOth}o.-
600. The Paris writer did not associate
this statement with the reports of tight
money" in America, yet the fact that
hundreds of millions have gone out OF
the country with the title hunters may
well occasion little financial as well as
social speculation.
Henry Clews, the veteran fnancier,
when asked for an opinion on this esti-
mate said:
Il think the statement that $oO0,O00,-
coo of wealth has been taken out of this
country, or at least that the ownership
OF this vast amount of assets has been
transferred to aliens by the marriage of
American girls with foreigners is conserv-
ative. Undoubtedly the withdrawal of
such an enormous sum has on apprecable
effect upon the money market.
THE folly of Americans who have Eu-
ropamania is extremely costly to this
country. Our tourists spend at least
$15O,OOOOOO abroad every year, most of
it foolishly."
New York paper prints list of 356
American girls who have married into
distinguished foreign families. Following
is list of twenty-five such hciresscs who
have carried $16O,0OO,OO0 out of the coun-

MIX Congress Honors Straus.

The International Pure Milk Congress
held at Brussels put itself on record -
against the use of raw milk, advising all
mothers to give their infants milk brought
to the boiling point pasteurized or steril-
lied. This action, following upon the
address of Nathan Straus of New York
telling of his efforts toward pasteuriza-
tion, was in the nature of an irdorse-
ment. 1t was announced that Mr.. StrauS
would give a complete pasteurizing plant
to the city of Brussels. The Straus plan.
which was first put into operation in New
York City Fifteen years ago, has now been
adopted in nearly 400 cities in all parts
OF the world. and the United States gov
ernment has indorsed pasteurization as
the proper way to make milk safe and to
stop the spread of tuberculosis.

Another Siege Commenorating the
One Which Was Among the Most
Remarkable in Military History.

The Society Of the Army OF the Ten

In the great army of the West under
Grant and Sherman, recently held its
annual reunion at Vicksburg. Miss.
There, where frowned during the
frst two years of the Civil War the
tmpregnable Notifications Of the Con-
federacy, choking the trade of the
great river and cutting the southern
half Of the republic in two, there, where
the great siege was fought out bitterly
and bravely on each side, but with vic
tory to Grant, the commander who
never led to ultimate defeat, the rem
nant of the society which, formed in
the field in 1865 and included all OF
the officers of the Army of the Tennes-
see, met in it's thirty seventh session.
With it foregathered some OF the

1863, when the ring Of assault was
finally closed around Vicksburg, until
the 4th day of July, when the suffering
garrison stacked their arms and 1900
troops surrendered to the forces of the
Union.
The siege of VicaSburg is considered
one Of the most remarkable in all mill
tary history. The difficulties 20 be
overcome were tremendous. Again and
again were the naval forces on the riv-
er and the army on land repclled from
''the Gibraltar of the South" but the
whole nation knew that the struggle
must never end until VickSburG was in
the hands of the Union forces.

once a beautiful pleasure ground and a
lesson in the history Of the memorable
siege. The grounds are laid out in
broad, paved avenues, with fine bridges,
and with a wealth of monuments and
tablets to show the position Of the va

Solemnly impressive is the other gov
eminent reservation at VickSburg, the
national cemetery, where rest the
ashes Of 1892 Union soldiers who lost
their lives in and around the city dur
ing the war. Something of the condi-
tions under which these lives were lost
may be imagined from the fact that the

Fourteen States-Alabama, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New
Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
lvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin,
have appropriated large sums of money
for the vicksburg national park, and
each OF these States has erected suit
able monuments and memorials Of its
sons who fought upon this ground.
Illinois, appropriating $260,OO0 for
the purpose, has striven to show, ade-
quately, the feeling Of loyal State
toward those who fought among the
trenches and hills and wild ravines
around Vicksburg.
Along the line of the Union works,
nine miles in extent, the State has
erected monuments and markers show
ing the position Of the seventy-nin
Illinois organizations which took part
in the campaign. The State memorial
is a white marble temple lighted from
its open roof, and upon the walls of it

names of the $4,000 officers and SOL
diers from Illinois who served in tha
