CHARLESTON, Jan. 30.-The meet
Ing of the Senate judiciary committee
yesterday in the Senate chamber was
the most important event OF the ses-
sion thus far.
The committee considered Senate
bill No. % to prevent Establishing"

by which employees are held liable
for any damage done by guards EN-.
ployed by them If the injury is In.
fllcted unlawfully.
This brought up the peonage cases
and the governors message, and Sem
ator Adam B. Littlepage made an elo-
quent and forcib1e address setting
forth indignities that had been heap.
ed upon the poorer classes Of labor
ing men by the ubiquitous guard sys.
tenn. In great detail but with due
moderation. Senator Littlepage urged
that something be done to prevent any
power to terrorize the weak in West
Virginia.
v. T. vinson, Of Huntington, promi-
nent lawyer and man of affairs, spoke
on behalf of the companies.
He said he regretted as much as
any one the shame of employing
guards. but said the real scheme was
that a citizen of West Virginia should
be compelled to employ guards to pro-
tect private property.

the clause requiring the commission.

thought it wrong to have a railroad

objected to the qualifications Of the
other two commissioners.
His second objection he dealt with
vigorously. He referred his listeners

THE STORAGE OYSTER

with Eggs! Meat and MIX, the alyaIys

Dealers.

NEW YORK, Jan. a. Oysters ship
ped in bulk after they are opened. milk
cream, eggs and meats that have been
kept in cold storage too long. were
denounced yesterday by Chief Govern
ment Chemist Dr. Harvey T. Wiley be
fore the Congressional Committee on
Agriculture In Washington. while
stating that cold storage for a short
time is c good thing for some foods
he declares It is positively dangerous
for others. He has been experiment.
ing In two cold storage houses.
"As for oysters that are opened and
shipped III buckets-they are dead one
hour after they are opened. and they
should be barred from interstate com.
n,erce. Such oysters are bad in flavor
and useless as food,r he said.
milk begins to deteriorate as soon
as 1t is put in cold storage, and SO
does cream. Eggs also begin instant
deterioration. Fruit, on the other
hand, begins to improve and continues
to do so for about three months.
Meat will improve at first, continu-
ing during a period of six or eight
weeks. After three months, though,
yea can see that 1t has reached the
maximum and 1t begins to go down. 1t
does not taste as well, its odor is Of
fensive aud every time jury can pick
that which has been kept more than
three months. Take our quail. Have
quail a year old and also fresh quail
cooked at tn esame time. Cook them
Just alike and yet can distinguish be,
tween them. first by their looks aud
then by odor and taste. A jury can
pick them out blindfolded.'
DIR. Wiley said the object of his ex.
perimen,s is to tell the public, and
particularly the cold storage people,
how long they may safely keep articles
OF food.
In response to inquiries from Repre-
sentative Haskins as to the advisable.
ity OF. freezing oysters to preserve
them for shipment DR.. Wiley said:
1enounees "Fattened' Oysters.
"'rhey ought not to be frozen. That
ruins them, and as soon as they thaw
they are dangerous" He then urged
that oysters should be shipepd alive,
and in the shell, and said that the
greatest eatrage Of the oyster trade is
TO soak oysters in fresh water and
swell them up, making them look fat.
DR.. Wiley said the oysters sent out
in tin cans are all right, but in further
denunciation of bulk oysters shipped
in tubs and buckets said: "They are
either preserved with some preserva-
tive or are dangerously near the pto-
maine line.'
Gelatin was denounced by DR.. Wiley,
who said OF it: at is made out of the
scrapings from hides. These hides go
into the tanners watts, are treated and
trimmed, and the trimmings used to
make gelatin. The marine hospital
service found the tanners germs in
gelatin"
DR.. Wiley said the gelatin factories
are the dirtiest in the world. He add
ed that there is no objection to gelatin

DERIVATION Of Yankee Doodle.

Our people will have an opportunity
tyery soon of seeing their deal bold
Yankee Doodle transplanted to many
ether climes than that over which
wave Old Glory. 1t will be sung in
Indian, Irish, Dutch and other Ian
guages in Nixon & Zimmerman's pro.
dnction of Simple Simon Simple"
which is an early booking.
The origin of the tune of Yankee
Doodle is unknown and the term Yam
kee Doodle itself was first used during
the Revolution. The word Yankee has
been yariuusly explained rs being the
Indian pronunciation Of English,
while another origin. not so compli-
mentary is supposed to be the old
Spanish word Yengtsh, which means
coward.
If any one knows OF the true history
or any tradition of this song they can
get a prize by addressing Fred G..
NtxonsN irdlinger, general manager of
the Simple Simon simple company,

It is hardly necessary to intro

artists, a magnificent compile

and a com bination Of speciality

PROFESSOR THOMAS SHAW
~ ADVISES SHEEP RAISING
Says Betram County is Particularly Adapted to Sheep
Husbandry Lands Northwest Of Here an Ideal oas
Place for Sheep. @i4 55~ s@.u

fodder corn finer grown SO that
the stalks would not be coarse
to any extent desired. He could
have field roots to feed all winter
and spring as many as he cared
to grow. These are specially
good for producing abundant
milk giving in the ewes for the
early lambs, and they are excel
lent also for the lam bs. And he
could also have such coarse
grains as barley and speltz grown
on the farm in case he bought
sheep for winter fattening:
Sheep could be made greatly
helpful in clearing up the lands.
AS soon as the brush has been
cut and burned, if grasses are
scattered on the soil about the
time the snow is leaving, or even
in the late fall, they will grow
without any covering. They
may be sown even among the un.
burnted old logs that may be lay
ing over the land. AS soon as
the grass begins to grow the
sheep may be allowed to Craze.
They will eat down ell weeds and
sprouts and will not harm the
young grass. The soil thus be-
cones productive at once and
while it thus furnishes good
grazing to the sheep, the stumps:
except those of pine and oak, will
soon decay, thus making it un-
necessary to try to grub them.
The grasses suited to such
sowing are the following: Tim
othy and Kentucky blue grass;
AID the clOvers are, cOmmOn red,
A!sike, and the small white.
They may be mixed and sown to-
gether. The amounts per acre
would be, say, timothy,3 pounds,
blue grass, 2, common red clover,
2, Alsike, 1, and small white J
pound. The blue grass and
small white clover would soon
thicken, and in two or three
years would be abundant, where
the other varieties may have
grown somewhat less. This is
an easy way of clearing land.
