TheStage
Al CT. Fields Greater Minstreis.

A unique addition to the in
creased orchestra and band eff
fects Of the Al. G.. Field Greater
Minstrels this season is a saXa-
phone sextette, the instruments
for which cost over one thousand
dollars. The saxaphone is the
musical antithesiS of the double
reed mouthpiece, which has been
used in combination with a metal
tube, for it is the clarinet reed
adapted to a brass Instrument.
1t was invented in 1910 by Adolph
Sax, from whom it derived its
name. There are several forms
of the instrument, resembling
the clarinets very closely In
shape, and being provided with
the usual keys. The tube of the
saxaphOne is cOnical so it is en-
abled to produce all the harmon
les, despite the large size of its
reed. In lingering it resembles
the oboe rather than the clarinet.
The six varieties Of SaxaphOne,
include the sopraninO, alto, tenor,
baritone and bass. All these in
struments play an important
part in the splendily equipped
band which is this year again
under the direction Of Edward
w. Brill, whose brass band is
famous in Ohio and surrounding
states, and also in the orchestra
under the leadership of Charles

FOOD DETECTIVES.
The London County Council and
INSPECTION Of Meat Supply.

The Public Health Committee of the
London County Council is making in
quries into the need of improved adj
ministration for the inspection of food
entering London. and DR.. Hamer has
prepared report dealing with inspec-
ton by riverside authorities.
1t seems that about one and a half
million tons of food enter London by
the Thames every year, and Dr. Hamer
says the tendency is to transfer from
London nearly every process of food
preparation that can be carried on else
where He points out that while presum-
ably the change has been greatly to the
Londoner's advantage as regards quality,
''as it undoubtedly has been as regards
price" the removal of the place of orr
gin or manufacture beyond any control
London can directly exercise emphasizes
the importance of examination of the
food when it enters the county-an i'm
portance that increases yearly as the
amount brought from without approxi-
mates more and more closely to the total
quantity consumed within the county
The Public Health Committee thinks
that the staff at present engaged In food
inspection is small, and that the ideal
to be aimed at in any scheme of reform
must necessarily be that of providing
an efficient detective agency which will
serve to bring to light the underhand
methods OF the dishonest trader rather
than than of establishing scheme of
inspection In detail.
Dealing with the disposal of trade re-
fuse the committee notes the facilities
afforded to dishonest traders for obtain-
ing, through contractors or otherwise
unsound food, which is subsequently dis
guised by timing or potting and ulti-
tpl, sold rop mt; tar,
urges the adoption OF the principle that
condemned food should be destroyed by
the sanitary authorities themselves.
1t Is proposed to send a copy of Or.
Hamers report to the local government

fled at great length for his road in the

Attorney Lucien II. Cooke represented

Mr.. Cooke filed much documentary evil

ments made at the freight rate hearing,

along the lines of that of Comptroller
sullivan, of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
though, of course, the figures given by
him applied to his own road
The witness estimated that the Norfolk

Virginia If the proposed two-cent passen-
ger rate should be promulgated. Answer
ing questions by members of the COM
mission, Mr.. Cox said it cost his road
