PURE FOOD LAW IS
 DOING GREAT GOOD

Washington, May Sl,-The public prob ably does not realize the benefit it is deriving from the operation of the pure food law which is administered by the department of agriculture.
 Inspectors in all the principal cities of the United States are constantly on the lookout for meats and meat products that are thought to be below the stand ard, or to contain adulterants of an in- furious nature. Samples of all such products are secured and forwarded to Washington for a chemical analysis by the bochemic division of the bureau of animal industry.
 Ar average of 40 samples of such arti- rles Is received daily for inspection. The percentage of rejections has constantly decreased under the operations of the law, which has resulted in a better grade of meat being placed on the market until a very small percentage of the samples sent in Is condemned. It is the opinion of the officials of the department that the law has worked wonders as a deter lant and that packers and others have found it eXpedient to improve the qual- ty of the goods placed on the market.
 The recent chemical analysis show a great improvement in the prepared mea ts and that conservatives of wholesome pr harmless nature are being substituted for the cheaper and more inferior grades.

 Benefit of the Inquiry.

Washington, May 31.-The currency com mission appointed yesterday by Vica | President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon under the terms of the Aldrich- -Vreeland bill. held it's first meeting today, an1 while the meeting was only for the pur- pose of organization there was general discussion of plans and it can be stated that if the outline submitted by Sen ator Aldrich is perfected by the work cf the commission the country will be given the benefit of such a thorough IT, vestigation and complete an exposition tf currency and banking as 1t has never efore received The commission or ganized by electlng Senator Aldrich chair man and Representative Vreeland vice chairman, thus recognizing in the two executive officers the co-authors of the law Under which the commission was ap- pointed Arthur Shelton, clerk of the Senate committee on finance. was chosen secretary of the commission and 1t was agreed that the House members should be permitted to designate an assistant secretary, but he was not named today. The meeting was held today because of the necessity felt by some of the mem- bers of getting away from the city tomor- row. It took place at Senator Aldrich's committee room and continued for about two HourS, during Wn1cn time there was an informal discussion of the work that should be done

Bryan is meeting many people who are strangers to him, and his presence here today brought nearly 2000 persons to this frontier town to hear two addresses, both on religious themes. Valentine was crowded with people as it probably never was before. Ranchmen came from points surround ing for radius of nearly 100 miles, and many overland journeys of from 20 to 40 miles were made by farmers and stockmen, many of them cowboys and Indians, who came In all sorN Af conveyances and made a day of it.
 MT. Bryan was the guest while here of A. M. Morrissey, a district delegate to the Denver convention. Revs. J.. Robert Beale of the Presbyterian and c. E. O'Connell of the Meth odist churches had arranged for a joint ser vice in a large tent erected for the purpose and MT. Bryan was the speak CT both morning and afternoon.
 In introducing MT. Bryan In the morning, Rev. Beale said:
 This occasion brings to my mnd a great picture l once saw in a large eastern gallery. It depicted the Savior. His face radiant, in the midst of host of worshpers. They were all doing homage to the Lord, lowing down be- fore him in humility It pleases me to introduce to you today one well known and honored by all the world for his fame in politics, but who is still will ing to bow down to the Prince of Peace."
 ripple of applause greeted MT. Bryan as he stepped to the front of the platform, but he quickly waved the audience to silence. He apologized for not being able to get his state trip into six days and remarked: "But have no apology to offer for following my usual custom of speaking on religious sub jects on Sunday. As is well known, I am greatly interested in the science of government but I want to say that am much more interested in religion. and I am sure 1t is not too much to say that I would rather make a re- ligious than political speech I made religious speeches six years before began to talk politics, and I expect to make them for many years after I am out of politics"

 DEATH IN RIVER

 Near Nutley. the balloon had risen to height estimated at 2000 feet and Wood decided to descend. Cutting loose the rope that held the parach ut 2 to the balloon and clutching the rope of his horizontal bar, Wood plunged downward. Slowly the parachute opened and tn en with moderate speed continued downward. Nearing the earth Wood saw that he would proba : bly, fall in the Passaic river, and way ing his flag as a last salute, he pre- pared for plunge into the water.
 It was at this moment, while the parachute was only 100 feet above the river that a puff of air caught the floating flag and wrapped it around Woods legs. The aeronaut struggled to free himself from its enveloping folds, but failed and with his limbs still bound by the flag, Wood plunged into the river. He arose to the surfac c and cried for help but before the spec tators could come to his aid Wood sank and was drowned
