TAFT NOT REsPONsIBLE.
He Discharged Negro Soldiers Only on
 Prestdent's Orders.

PFGSA0emPe Or0eES
 Washington, Aug. That Judge Taft was in no way responsible for the order discharging the battalion of the 25th Infantry, and that in doing so. he obeyed the direct orders of the Presi- dent. is the statement of Lieutenant General Henry c. Corbin, retired. who has just returned from Ohio.
 of course, the Brownsville affair Is going to be paraded in the campaign" said General Corbin.
 Any credit or blame In that matter can not be laid to Mir. Taft. As mat ter of fact Mir. Taft was not in Wash Ington at the time. He left Washing ton October 27. 1906, for an inspection of the western military posts and was absent until November IF.
 Upon his return the order suspend ing the battalion of the 25th Infantry was brought to his attention. That the President might reconsider the matter Mir. Taft suspended the order. He cabled to the President, who was then in the West Indies and four days after Mir. Tafts return to the Depart ment he received from the President a cablegram directing that the order be executed
 As loyal subordinate of the Presi- dent. he did his duty as subordinate regardless of any views of hIs own.

ENTERTAINMENT OF FLEET.
New Zea.and Arranges Many Events
 for Americans.


 Auckland, Aew Zealand, Aug. 7.-- The American fleet on It's arrival in Auckland harbor will anchor in two lines abreast of the city, the first hav- ing for its center the Australian flag ship Powerful and her consorts, the Encounter and Pioneer. Sunday. the day scheduled for the arrival of the fleet there will be no public display, but official visits will be exchanged.
 On Monday, the Admiral and his of- hcers will land at Queen Street wharf. On the shore c~1 of the wharf which is on an almost alignment with Queen Street, (the main thoroughfare1, will be erected a dais sun, where the visitors will be formally welcomed. The Prime Minister. on behalf of the Government, and the people of New Zealand. will welcome the American visitors. The Prime Minister will make presentations to President Roosevelt and Admiral Sperry on behalf of the Government. and the people of the Dominion. A procession will be formed, the route being through Queen Street to the mill tary hall in Wellesly Street.
 On Wednesday there will be races at Ellerstie, about five miles from the town. Among other sights to which the visitors will be treated will be Tiki tere. which is the nearest conceivable approach to the internal regions. Fur ther aield are Waimungaa which, very few years ago, was one of the most tremendous geysers in the world, the pressure of water and the explo- sions being almost volcanic in their intensity. There is now only an awe some cavity in the earth's crust sur rounded by boiling springs and a rush. ing torrents. In close proximity Is Mount Tarawera. which was in erup- ton some fifteen years ago and laid desolate the surrounding villages. In the mountain side is a great gap which is pointed out to the tourists.
 There are several great lakes here over which the visitors will be ferried in gasoline launches. Some of the lakes are cold. but one of them is quite hot. the water varying in the loveliest shades. Wairakei which is the objec- tive of a more distant excursion. is fifty miles south of Roturua, and its thermal activity provides one of the finest sights of New Zealand. Tampo. six miles from wairakei. Is on the lake of the same name, and has two hne ganatoria.

sLAUGHTERING DEER
Half a Thousand Slain During the Past
 Two Weeks,

A AM0MH1MU -
 Two Weeks.
 New orleans, Aug. 7.--According to reports received In New Orleans from points along the Gulf Coast between this city and Texas. a wholesale slaugn : ter of deer is going on in that section, especially in the parishes of St. Mary and Terrebone, where incessant rains have flooded the country and driven the deer to the highlands.
 In most cases these highlands are nothing more nor less than hummocks of slight elevation. With the deer crowded thickly on them. hunters have found 1t easy to row out and kill all they want with little effort. It Is re- ported that 6 great deal of the Killing has been done with revolvers.
 Slaughter of this kind has been go- ing on for the last two weeks and 1t is estimated that half a thousand or more deer have been killed around Morgan City. La., during that time. Frank M. Miller of the Louisiana Au- dubon Society declares that as soon as the Board of Commissioners for the Protection of Game is appointed. he will bring about a number of prosecu- tions for the slaughter of the deer.
 "It Is a regular orgy of deer killing" said Mir. Miller last night. For sew eral weeks the people of these parishes have been living on venison and large quantity of 1t Is shipped to nearoy cities.
 "The statute under which prosecu- tions in this instance may be made, declares 1t to be unlawful to hunt or kin deer between the hours of sundown and daybreak, or kill deer driven to the highlands by overflow or high wa ter at any time."

USE OF MICROSCOPE.
Valuable Tn Examination Of Food And
 Drug Products.


 Valuable In Examination Of Food And
 Drug Products.
 Washington, D. C., August 7.-The Bureau of Chemistry has found that the miscroscope may be used to ex- cellent advantage in the examination of food and drug products for the dis covery of adulterants.
 This ls new idea, and a large amount of work has been done in the application of the microscope to analytical work. but there are certain parts of the field as yet untouched. Microscopic test have become an i'm portant adjunct to the test tube and blast lamp meth ods of analytical work.
 As an example of the use of the microscope. e case recently brought to the attention of the bureau of chem tstry. was . sample of celery seed adulterated with nearly forty per cent of powdered rock. This adultera tion was of such a character as would easily escape the notice of the ordi- nary buyer. The usefulness of the simple magnifer in examining food and drug materials, however. is limit cd and recourse must be had to the compound microscope for the examina- tion of the products which are made up of small articles.
 Commercial starches can be identi- fled with considerable accuracy by means of the microscope. The exami- nation of spices form another interest ing application of this method of food analysis. In coffee and chocolate prep arations, roasted chicory. cereals and peas, in the ease of the former starchy materials. and cocoa shells in the case of the latter can be detected by means of the microscope. Thickeners used in the production of artificial jellies. jams and other confeetions. can be more or less easily detected by mi- croscopic tests. The thickener mate rials are gelatin. starch, agar-agar, gum tragacanth and gum arabic.
 Another example of microscopic ex- animation is the detection of flowers

Times of Temptation.

Because thou hast kept the
word of my patience, also will
keep thee from the hour of
temptation which shall come upon
all the world to try them that
dwell upon the earth. Behold, |
come quickly; hold that fast which
thou hast, that no man take thy
crown.
We doubt whether since the days
of Noah, there has been a more
pleasure seeking age than thi S.
Life is a "merry-go-round," if it is
anything. Eating and drinking and
feasting, gaming and playing con-
sumes every leisure hour of human
ity in the main. This queenly wo-
man and womanly queen has had
an influence upon the world in wife
hood and motherhood. The mother
of Napoleon, Marie Bamolino, was
not what is termed an educated Wo-
man. She married at the age of
"sweet SIXTEEN yet developed in
to a very strong character. 1t is
claimed by his biographers that
Napoleon inherited his firm will
and lofty ambition from his mother
and not from his easy going father.
Napoleon said of his mother, "She
has the head of a man on the Shout
ders of a woman and he always
went to her for counsel in the inn
portant affairs of life, yet he did not
always follow her advice. We
shall not -ventue to speak of Mary
Ball, the mother of Washington,
further than to say she was Wo-
man of high temper and indomit-
able spirit. Her nephew, Lawrence
Washington, who occasionly visited
in the Washington home said, 81

aunt than of my parents; my aunt
was the presiding genius of the
home and she aWed me by her

Rich Indians.

The Usage Indians as tribe are
said to be the richest people on
earth. When it is known that the
poorest one of them is possessed
of at least SAC, 900, there will be not
a few white men who will regret
that they were born handsome in
stead Of Osages. The government
allotting commission is preparing to
make final division of tribal lands
owned by the Osages in Oklaho-
ma, and when the work is done
each Indian will have 300 acres, be-
sides IAN interest in tribal funds
amounting to several million dollars.
