CHICAGO CHRONICLE QUITS.
The official Statement Says Ttat Publication is Suspended Because
 of Unprofitable Business

Chicago, June 1.-The Chicago Chronicle Friday morning announced that it ceased publication with that issue owing to the fact that the pa per had been unprofitable for some time.

 The Chronicle began publication on May 2S, 1895, as the only democratic morning paper then in Chicago John R. Walsh, one of the chief owners, and formerly president of the Chica- go National bank, refused the sup port of his paper to William J. Bry- an during Bryan's candidacy for the presidency, and during the last na- tional campaign the Chronicle came out as a republican newspaper The last issue of the Chicago Chronicle was No. of Volume 13.

HAS A SINGULAR LIBEL LAW.
Australia Protects It's Citizens Whc
 Have Small Pride of Ancestry.

The libel law of Australia is tho queerest in the world. He who ii sued for libel there must not only prove that the accusations he pub. lished were true but also that to pub. fish them was for the public benefit Elsewhere the truth of the accusa. ton alone needs to be proved.
 An Australian sheepraiser ex. plained this queer libel law at a wool sale.
 Australia was practically colon. ized by convicts," he said. "There IS no use denying this. The coloniz. CTS of Australia were conyicts in the main.
 "lhe descendants of these con. vlcts are now Australia's leading families, the richest, the most in. tiuential, the most intelligent, the most respected. And yet these ex- cellent people were in the past at the mercy of every editor. Let them get into the smallest squabble or dis. pute with some editor and the man would bring them into general ridi. cule and contempt by printing their ancestry, by showing that Sir Johr smiths great-grandfather had been sent out robbing an old woman of seven dollars or that Judge Browns great-aunt, while employed as ser want girl, had tried to poison her masters son, with whom she was in love.
 "lt is undeniably true that the best Australians have convict blood m their veins. The newspapers that they quarreled with used to taunt them with their convict blood. Hence the present queer libel law. which protects them, for, of course. It can never be for the public good to publish that the grandmother of Judge So-and-So or the great-uncle of .Dr. Blank was eonviet.v

PACKERS ARE STILL FIRM
The National Association Takes ur Post Mortem Inspection
 Controversy.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN CHICAGO
Resolution Adopted Calling Upon All sIauuhtering Establishments to Buy ccws and Heifers Subject TO ,he Recent order-Movement oniy to Protect the Dear" Public.

Chicago, May 31.-The executive committee of the American Meat Packers association, whose members embrace 275 large and small packers in 2e states. met here Friday and un' snimously adopted resolution ask ing all inspected slaughtering estao- lishments to buy cows and other "she cattle" subject to postmortem inspection by the United State gov ernment. The request was made that immediate effect be given the resolution.
 Secretary George L. Mccarthy of the association, said: "The deceased cows to which we object come from dirty, filthy farms and it naturally follows that the dairy herds from which most of them come are de ceased. The danger to the public by consuming milk and other dairy products from tubercular cows and cows suffering from other diseases would be appalling if it were generally known. The farmers who are responsible for this condition of affairs have no incentive to keen their farms clean and their herds free from disease so long as they arc paid full value for diseased animals sent to the market for slaughter, but when cattle are bought subject to in spection after death every farmer who has been crriminally negligent will immediately clean up his place and take measures to keep disease out of his herd"

An intelligent physician has dis, covered that color blindness is very rare among girls, though it is common among boys From this fact he draws the conclusion that in most cases color blindness is due to want Of early education in discriminating col DTS. Girls are taught to become ia. miliar with every shade of cclors. while boys receive no instruction whatever on the subject. Hence. boys frequently exhibit an ignorance with true color blindness, but which girls rarely show.
