PHILPOT RETURNS
 FROM PRINCETON

Sheriff Philpot has returned from Princeton, where he was summoned Saturday by the report that Prince Mansfield, the negro who attempted an assault in the western part of the city recently, had been captured. The negro, who gave his name as Godfrey Williams, stated that he was fnei- i've from justice in Tennessee and that he was wanted at Murray, Ten ntssee, on account of imprope? ,ia- tions toward a white woman mined Emma Neal. Williams at first stated that his name was Will Jones, but when sweated by Sheriff Philpot he stated that his real name was Will Hams and that he was wanted in Crockett county, Tennessee. Will 1iams had been hiding in the woods for several weeks when caught and was in an emaciated condition. hay ing to be almost held up when meas ured. That he has committed some cr;rle, the detection of which ne fears. Is shown by the fact that he has al most starved rather than come to the town. The Princeton authorities are in conference with Tennessee off, cials relative to the prisoner and they are holding him awaiting develop ments.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
Concord Monitor

One of the results of the Aldrich-
Vreeland currency bill, a sort OF
legislative by-product, so to say, is
discovered by the New York Jour
nal of Commerce in the mice job in
engraving new plates and printing
new notes for all the national banks
in the country, whether they are
ever to be used or not" The law
prohibits banks from using notes of
the present form for the additional
circulation which the law provides,
and the law requires the treasury
81 as soon as practicable, " to cause
to be prepared circulating notes in
blank "to an amount equal to
fifty per centum of the capital
stock of each national banking
association, which are to be kept
in the treasury or in the sub-treas-
ury nearest the place of business of
each association.
This is no small task; for, as the
of Commerce points out,
there are now about 1000 national
banks and the law requires eight
different denominations of notes
to be prepared and printed in such
as may be required to
supply the associations entitled to
receive them, and as the name of
each association must appear on
the face of its notes there would
have to be a separate plate for each
denomination for each of the 1000
national banks. The wording on the
ACE being different for the addi-
.ional circulation from that of the
present form of note a great many
thousand additional plates and dies
will have to be engraved in the
pest manner to guard against coun-
,erfeiting and fraudulent altera-
ions, as the law demands. How
ong it will take to get up all these
plates. how much it will cost, and
low much use is ever TO be made of
hem, are matters TO which appar-
,ntlv no thought has been given,
,ut it is evident that a lot of addi-
ional employment will be put upon
he bureau of engraving and print
ng.

their heads and finally succeeded
in calming the frenzied audience
so that no one was injured. One
man with more corporeity than
courage, pushed women and chill
dren aside and attempted to crowd
through broken window. He was
too great in diameter to get through
the small hole and hung with his
arms and head outside and his legs
inside. He struggled like a lunatic
for some time and was finally pulled
back into the chapel. His comical
appearance when the lights came
on did much towards quieting the
audience, some of whom laughed
heartily at his discontinue. Mr..
Guild finished his lecture, after the
excitement was over but most of
his audience had their minds on
the startling event that had just
occurred. The church did not take

laboratory and the large amount of
work connected Herewith can be
readily appreciated after a glance
at the bulletin issued by the state
board of health which gives the
results of the examinations of the
various articles sent in from all
parts of the state. There were SIS
tests in one quarter for diphtheria
alone and over $50 for tuberculosis.
This kind of work the laboratory
has been doing right along but the
pure food laws have made necessary
additional labor.
To say nothing of the tests of
milk specimens which numbered
over $50 the laboratory has analysed
over $50 food stuffs and drugs.
The result of food tests is most
satisfactory in that 295 specimens
were found to be within the law
and but 81 illegal. The drug tests
were less satisfactory as 13 out of
% articles examined did not come
within the requirements of the
law. There are two important
features to be noticed in the tables,
namely, that out of over 200 speci-
mems of maple syrup and sugar
tested but three cases of illegal in
gradients make their appearance in
the report; and that the liquor
license commissioners are not as
active as they might be in getting
tests of liquor on sale by licensees.
But twelve specimens of analysis
are reported in this bulletin.
DIR. l.. p. Sprague has the fol-
lowing to say of the analysis of
some of the more important food
articles:
Two hundred and eighteen sam
pies of sugar praducts, of which
three were below standard, have
been analysed. These samples of
maple sugar and syrup were pur-
chased by the local health officers
throughout the state and sent to
the laboratory for examination.
They were purchased of the dealers
who were selling maple products at
retail and no samples were taken
Of sugar which was to be sent out
Of the state. Had this been done,
a larger number of adulterated
might have been found.
In the analysis of these produces,
was taken of the fol-
owing cts:-amount of precipi-
tate thrown down with lead sub
acetate; the total ash; insoluble
ash; and the alkalinity of each.
In suspicious cases the malic acid |
value was also determined. The
standard for maple products states
hat maple sugar shall contain in
he water free substance not less
han 60 per cent of maple sugar
lsh, and maple syrup shall contain
lot less than 45 per cent. of maple
yrup ash. Of the samples con-
Iemned two were sugar and one
vrup. In all of these the lead sub
.cetate precipitate, the ash and
he malic acid value were low. The
esults of these examinations were
cry satisfactory, as it shows that
cry little adulterated maple sugar
nd syrup is offered for sale in this
tate.
One hundred and sixty-one sam
les of milk and cream have been

analysed and of these only thirteen,
or eight per cent, were below stan
dard. Of the thirteen below stan
dard two were submitted because
of suspected udder disease, SO that
only eleven dirty samples we're
collected. Second samples have
been collected from all except one
of these and found to be clean. The
remaining sample, that of Mr..
Ballard of Poultney, was milk which
he was temporarily buying, the
sample from his own dairy being
clean. While these samples do not
include the entire state, and the
percentage would doubtless be high
er if it did so, it shows a very graft
flying decrease in the amount of
dirty milk being sold
Fifteen samples have been eX-
ammed, of which two were illegal.
The two illegal ones were Vienna
sausage, both preserved with boric.
This is the third sample found pre-
served with a boric compound.
The manufacturers claimed that
these were old products and that
the newer ones do not contain a
preservative. 1t emphasizes the
fact that the dealerr should secure
a guarantee from the manufac-
turer or not sell the products. The
meats were all true to name and
those containing no preservative
were in a wholesome condition.
Twelve samples of headache rem
edies have been analysed and eleven
found to be illegal because of mis-
branding. In most cases the
amount of acetanilid was not stated
on the label or if so it was not in
proper form. These samples, to-
gether with those previously analyz-
ed, show that all headache rene
dies depend upon acetanilid or
some of its derivatives, chiefly
phenacetine, for their curative prop
critics. This is combined with
caffein, sodium bicarbonate, cam
phor, cannabis indica, and some
expedient. The amount of acetan-
lid or phenacetine contained as a
dose varies from one to five grains.
When we consider that acetanilid
is a powerful heart depresent and
that the average dose is four grains,
not to be repeated inside of three or
four hours, it will be seen how ex-
tremely dangerous it is to take the
large doses and repeat them in one
half or even one hour, as is so fire.
quently stated in the directions ON
the preparations. As these all con-
tain practically the same drugs, it
makes no difference which one of
the remedies is used, but great care
should be taken that too large a
dose is not administered.
Samples of miscellaneous meats
have been examined chiefly to de-
termine if the animal was healthy
when slaughtered. The parasite
trichina was found in three samples,
which shows that wormy pork is
more common than the general pub
ic suspects and all pork should be
thoroughly cooked before it is
eaten.

"THE WONDER OF THE AGE"
THE BosToN FooD FAIR MANAGE
MENT HAS SECURED IT FOR Its
EXPOSITION AT THE PARK
SQUARE COLISEUM.

SQUARE COLISEUM.
When the Boston Retail Grocers'
Association decided to give their
seventh Boston Food Fair and
Liberal Arts Exposition in the
Park Square Coliseum from Sept.
% to Oct. 81, they laid down one
very important principle which
would cover all their operations in
the most general sort of way. That
was to have the very best of every
thing. Whether in the matter of
food exhibits, liberal arts displays,
decorations, amusements, music, big
attractions, entertainments, etc,
this principle was to apply to them
all.
Their first step was to secure the
most popular and most famous
band in the world, Sousa's Band,
to give concerts both afternoon
and evening.
And now the management an
that after protracted nego-
tiations and at an expense which
would stagger a worlds fair man
agement they have secured a sensa-
tional attraction as one of their big
amusement features, which the
most captious must acknowledge
to be "the wonder of the age"
The management will disclose the
nature of this attraction in due
time. 1t is sufficient now to know
that it will make its first appear
ance in New England at the Boston
Food Fair next fall at the Park
Square Coliseum.

We are advancing in our educa-
tional ideas, and gradually we are
cutting adrift from the old idea of
the classics as the basis of education
al work. More and more modern Ian
guages are being taken up; business
courses, music and drawing and
manual training are filling up the
curriculum. We have made mis-
takes, we have run after fads, but
we have made some real progress.
William McAndrew, principal of
New York city high school, in re-
cent gathering, gave his veiws on
high school work and he does not
believe that we have emerged very
far on the right road. He thinks
that the high school should be
planned with regard to the life work
rather than with the question of
college requirements in view. He
also believes that the idea of main
tanning the standard, a slogan of
old days as well as the new, is wrong,
simply because the standard is made
for the brightest of the class, while
the majority are taught that they
are not expected to do perfect
work but that sixty per cent or
seventy per cent is well enough so
they can go on. He maintains that
the standard should be placed
where the majority, by honest work,
can maintain very nearly perfect
work He may be right, he may be
wrong, but his ideas are worth con-
sidering.

The Montpelier Argus copies our
editorial on the Automobile Clubs
activity in placarding bad places in
the road by signs, and says that
after all it is for the benefit Of the
autos mostly. That may be so, it
may be done by the Club with that
object mostly in view, but the fact
still remains that it is of as much
benefit to the drivers Of teams.
An autoist, put on his guard, will
be watching out for the possibility
of meeting teams while rounding
curves, who might not otherwise
be expecting curves. Drivers Of
teams know that the majority Of
auto drivers are anxious TO do all
within their power TO make travel
easy for both teams and autos,
and these warnings serve all users
Of the public highways.
