Largest Anchors Just COMPLETED.

Several anchors have recently been
made at the navy yard at Charles
town, Mass, which are the largest
ever made for any purpose. Four an
chors are used on battleships gener-
ally, and the new anchors are being
shipped in sets TO the Pacific coast.
One pair of this set of four weighs
1850 pounds each. The largest an
chors ever forged prior to those now
being used weighed ,16, 500 pounds each
and cost $4,000 each. They were also
made at the Charlestown yard. Each
OF the big anchors required the work
OF five men for a month, -hammering,
smelling and welding it. These man.
moth anchors are sufficient, barring
unusual conditions of weather and
sea, to hold the largest battleship
afioat. The size is Is feet long from
crown to shackle, and about nine and
one-half feet from one arm point to
the other. The heavy crossbar is al
so about Is feet long, while the palms,
OF broad, fiat pieces, welded to the
arm ends, are about so inches wide

Phaade;yhiG!ts Excited

All Philadelphia is i'll. an inward
sErment these days following the revela-
tions made by the state dairy and food
commission in regard to the use Of
rotten eggs in the manufacture of
bakery products. Staid citizens now
hold one hand on ''tummy" and the
other over the nose when passing Il
bake shop. Even Father Penn, OH the
lofty perch, wears IL look of pain and
disgust.
According to the Investigators, the
business of supplying rotten eggs to
bakeshops is SO extensive that there are
more than twenty dealers engaged in
the disgusting trade. Thousands of
dozens of ''rots' and Spots" the re-
fuse of the big storage warehouses and
wholesale egg dealers, are sold weekly
to he converted into food for the public.
The commissioners special agent has
collected evidence to show that decayed
eggs, knowiL Go tine trade az spots
and riots" are used III making pies
and cakes of all kinds, in icing that is
put upon fancy cakes and meringues
and in coating bread to make it glossy.
Cheap ice cream and ice cream cones,
the SO called cream that goes into cream
pntfs and cclairs are also made with
tho decayed material ~
A coteric of dealers, most of whom
live i'll South Philadelphia, are the
healthwrecking transactions. These
men buy eggs that are rejected by the
big packing houses, the Water street
commission stores. and the companies
that run chains of retail stores. In
turn, the coterie sells to bakeries and to
some restaurants
The Stuffs, with the poison of putre-
faction unchanged by the cooking, is
then made into the products enumerated
and placed for sale in bakeries, grocery
stores and other places.
But the eggs III the Shell make ONLY
IL small portion of the business. The
bulk of the decaycd output is sold soon
after they have been opened, in great
pals to the bakeries There is a daily
delivery to these establishments of 300
pound cans and, invariably, it is before
o'clock in the morning.
The stuff in the cans has also been
analysed by Professor La Wall and
pronunccd poisonously putrefactive and
unfit for food. The bakeries pay an
average of IL cents pound for it. One
pound is about equivalent to dozen
eggs.
Nor is this all. Quantities of the
decaycd eggs arc dried and sold in

BODY OF RAILROAD
VICTIM NOT CLAIMED

Tho identity OF the man killed on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at FELTON, a
few days ago has not been learned. al
though the Chester Coroner is doing all he
can to ascertain who he is.
= short time before his death the
stranger was observed by some track
men sitting near FELTON, station, eating a
sandwich. From that point he walked up
the track toward Chester. The supposition
is that ne stepped Off the west bound
track TO let a long freight pass and the
noise OF this drowned the onrushing Of the
castbound passenger train that struck
him.
The man was about 3s years Of age fivo
feet FIVE inches in height. and weighed
l35 pounds lie was OF light complexion
having light brown hair. short brown
whiskers and mustache. lie had the ap-
pearance Of workingman. The clothes
are somewhat worn. but are OF good ma.
terial. Evidently he had been engaged in
some kind Of work. apparently on a farm
as the palms Of his hands show blisters
such as would have resulted from the corr
stant use of agricultural implements.

MITCHELL WRITING A NOVEL

PEORIA. Ill.,, Sept 1L-John Mitchell
rs writing sociological novel dealing with
industrial and political conditions as he
has found them in the United states lie
has for several months been reading all
The literature bearing upon the subject
he could lay his hands ON, among them
such books as Lafcadio Hearns "The
Ant" and up-to-date books on social prob.
lens.
Mr. Mitchell has kent his ambition to
write a great novel secret from all save
his most intimate friends, for fear that
he might fail In making the story part Of
his book a success.
His idea is that the novel Is an admir-
able medium for setting forth modern con.
ditions and pointing out what he regards
as the faults Of the present industrial apd
political system. II is believed that his
own experiences are to be worked into
the book.
Mitchell Is an omnivorus reader, but his
taste does not run TO novels. except suen
as treat of living questicNs. His fear has
been that his own novel might prove to be
too heavy.

the animals, growing more savage
every moment, surrounded the car
They were not frightened by the toot-

flashed on them. They snapped a,

were brought into use.

WHITE BUTT0NED MANDARINs'
Culberson Said II Had Often Been

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Al-
most The entire session OF the Senate
was consumed with the consideration
OF the legislative, executive and judic-
ial appropriation bill The bill final
ly passed and carried an appropriation
of $32,o4s,00o the amount added to
the House bill being $4,000. The
amendment offered by Senator Dixon
10 an increase OF the salaries Of about
a dozen clerks OF the Senate commit
tee from $500 to $3.50 called forth a
spirited discussion in Senate but it
went out on point Of order. In dis
cussing his amendment, Dixon made
the complaint of favoritism to an old
Senator, whom he characterized as the
white buttoned mandarins."
Bacon offered an amendment for
an increase o! 20 per cent for all gov
ernment employees in this city, who
receive not more than $500 but it
was also lost on a point of order. In
order that the government agents
who are investigating trade conditions
abroad might report upon the whole
sale and retail prices at which Ameri.
can gods are sold abroad, Culberson
offered an amendment to the bill. He
said il had often been charged that
American goods are sold cheaper to
the foreigner than to the people of
this country and is in some cases de.
MED, and he wanted to know the facts.
Aldrich said if such an investigation
was to be carried on it should be
brought through properly framed
resolution and on a point of order
was sustained against the amendment,
