MILK TESTED.

On Tuesday, under authority of
the Boatd Of Health, acting chief
Of Police, Fred Veazey aud Secre.
tary A. q. Barrow of the board,
took from the cans Of the several
dairymeD. while on their morning
rounds, samples Of milk which
was packed Oh ice and shipped
to the analyst at New Orleans.
The bottles for these samples
were shipped to the Board Of
Health here, after being properly
steriIized ut New Orleans. This
is q necessary precaution in or
der to determine the true condi.
ton Of milk. OF the samples
sent down but twelve will be
tested-this being the larkes
number possible to handle sue
cessfully at one time
It is to be hoped that the re-
suit of the tests will establish
the purity Of the milk sold in
this city. Should there he any
to fail, it is best that the people
know it promptly, in order to
safeguard their health.

Evidence Against a New York Ice
Trust Disappears from the Office
of the Attorney General.

Albany, N. Y.-All the evidence
on which was based the COM
plant of Attorney General Julius
Mayer against the American Ice Co.
for dissolution of an alleged monopoly
of the ice business, served on Decem-
Der 20, has disappeared from the at
torney generals office and cannot be
found. This announcement was made
last night by Attorney General Will
lam S. Jackson.
Mr.. Jackson also made public sew
eral affidavits of employees of the at
torney generals office which show
that part at least of the papers were
known to be missing late in December
before the retirement of his predeces-
sor, Mr.. Mayer, but that the disap-
pearance of the evidence was not
known to Mr.. Jackson until early in
January, when, after he had assumed
Office, he took up the case with a view
of further proceedings.
Mr. Jackson said last night that he
had served demand upon the Amer
lean Ice Co for access to it's books
and records for the purpose of replac-
ing the lost evidence.

Is John D. RoCkefeIIer's
Latest Donation.
EDUCATION BOARD
In Session at New York Is Amazed
at the Size of the Oil Kings
Second Gift to 1t.

New York. - Thirty-two million
dollars worth of income bearing
securities was the gift which John d.
Rockefeller, through his son, John d.
Rockefeller, jr., announced to the gen.
eral educational board when it assem-
bled for special meeting in this city
Thursday
For general education purposes
throughout the country is given as the
purpose of this donation-the largest
single prize ever handed out for such
purposes.
Mr.. Rockefeller previously had
given the board $11,000,000 for the
same work, his contributions now
amounting to $43,000,000.
Most of the members of the board
were surprised at the announcement
and amazed at the size OF the gift DR..
Buttrick, the secretary, said he did
not know the gilt was to be made un-
til he read the letter. Other mem
bers did not know of the donation un-
til the letter was read.
The members of the board who will
administer Mr.. Rockefeller's immense
gift include some of the best known
educators, Hnanciers, publicists and
philanthropists in the country.
While the board was in session yes
terday gifts to five colleges were or
dered, amounting in all to $400, 900. as
follows
Beloit college, Beloit, Wis; Morn.
ingside college, Sioux City. Ia; Lafay-
cite college, Easton, Pa, $4,000 each;
Wabash college, Charlottesville, Ind,
and the University of Wooster, O.,
each $125,00O
In 1903 the general educational
board was chartered by congress. 1t
employs force of experts in the sys-
tematic study of educational condi-
tions in all parts of the United States
The object of the organization is pro-
noting education.
1t is said that the board now has
$50 applications before it. Many of
them are from institutions well locat-
ed, and in some instances negotiations
are far advanced looking to the con-
solidation and relocation of compel
ing colleges.
No gifts from this great fund are in
tended to be given to state educa,
tonal Institutions. Certain colleges
will be selected for donations or en-
dowments, forming a chain of educa-
tional institutions across the CONT
nent. 1t will become question of a
survival Of the fittest, it is said.

Impossible to Please Everybody.

A great many Republicans would
favor revision of some of the tariff
schedules if it did not mean a general
revision. The country is in a very
prosperous condition, but it could not
stand the uncertainty of a reconstruc-
tion of the tariff without serious en-
barrassment. Those who are familiar
with the history of tariff legislation
know that each section wants protec-
tion upon the things it produces and
free entry for the things it buys. The
farmer wants protection upon the raw
material he produces and no tariff up
on the finished product he buys. The
manufacturer wants free trade on raw
material and protective tariff to pro-
tect his finished product The laborer
wants the high wages which protec-
tion gives, but he would like to. pur-
chase with those wages things at the
free trade price.
And so when it comes to making
tariff schedules selfish interests are
always at work, and the result is al
ways a compromise, the product of log
rolling and a measure of doubtful ex-
pediency. And these are facts which
mahe many statesmen doubt the wis
dom of ripping up law under which
the country has prospered and is pros
Tering. Merchants and manufacturers
must have stable onditions.-Lancas
ter (O) Gazette.

The trial was successful, but as the
boat was returning to her anchorage
a safety tube forming part of the
evaporation apparatus burst, and as a
result a mass of flames was forced
into the stokehole, where the engi-
neer, quartermaster and nine stok.
ers were at work The engineer and
eight of the stokers were instantly
burned to death. Their bodies were
practically reduced to cinders. The
other stoker was severely injured.

THAW'S WIFE TfSTIFIES.
She Tells the Story of Her Betrayal
by Stanford White.

New York.-Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
told her story Thursday To
save the life of her husband charged
the innermost secrets of her soul. 1t
was the same story she told Harry
Thaw in Paris in 1903, when he asked
her to become his wife-the confes-
sion of one who felt there was an in
surmountable barrier to her ever be-
coming the bride of the man she
loved
AS the young wife unfolded the mar
rative of her girlhood and told the
early struggles of herself and her
mother to keep body and soul to-
gether; of how gaunt poverty stood
ever at the door, and how she finally
was able to earn a livelihood by pos
ing for photographers and artists, she
won the murmured sympathy of the
throng which filled the big court
room.
Then came the relation of the
wreck Of that girlhood at 16 years of
age. 1t was the story Of her meeting
with Stanford White, the story of a
sumptuous studio apartment whose
dingy exterior gave no hint of the
luxurious furnishings within; of a
velvet-covered swing in which one
could swing until slippered toes
crashed through the paper of Jap
anese parasol swung from the ceiling;
the story of glass of champagne, of
black, whirling sensations and of mir
rored bedroom walls. In short, she
told all the story
Don't scream SO. 1t is all over. 1t
is all right"
And this was Stanford White?"
The question came from Dolphin NJ.
Delmas, conducting the defense of
Harry Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw was still on the stand
her direct examination uncompleted,
when the day was done.

THE ONE GREAT QUESTION.
Tariff a Matter of Wages and the
Scale of Living.

One great central fact that should
stand head and shoulders above all
other elements in a discussion of the
tariff seems to be entirely ignored in
Miss Tarbells treatment of the ques-
tion. That fact is that first, last and
all the time, whatever the past history
may have been in periods when the
subject of protection was but partially
understood, the tariff is a question of
wages and the scale of living.
Miss Tarbell may not be aware of
this, or. knowing it, may not consider
it worth mentioning as a part of the
story of the tariff in our times. But it
is, none the less, the one overshadow-
ing arc of the economic circle.
Those who attempt the overthrow
of the protective policy invariably en-
phasiZe the Importance of low prices
to consumers and neglect the impor-
tance and value of high wages and
high standard Of living. They refuse
to recognize the wage earned as the
unit of all thrift, the basis of all pros
perity; that upon the wage earned
must depend the ability to purchase
and the volume of consumption. They
also fail to observe that a vast pre-
ponderance of consumers must first
of all be wage earners, and that only
limited few of the idle rich are non
producers.
If the people of this country are to
be won over to the cause of free trade
it should be upon fair and candid
consideration of the question whether
they are ready to throw away the
American wage scale and the Ameri-
can standard of living both higher by
far than in any other part OF the
world. That is the question. Exag-
gerated statements of errors or. faults
in the earlier stages of tariff making
are beside the mark. The thing to
consider is the tariff of to-day and
what it has done and will do for the
American people as a whole. The
story which omits a record of tariff
protected wages and a protection
standard of living is but a meagre and
partial history of the tariff in our
times.
