MEAT INSPECTOR QUITS JOB
Tells Of Terrible Conditions Existing
in Packing Houses-Lard Taken
Out of Sewer.

st. Louis, Mo.-After 1S months
of service as United States meat
inspector in East st. Louis packing
houses, j. F. Harms has resigned, he
says, writing a letter to Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson, demanding
an investigation of the meat inspec-
ton system at the National stock
yards.
Harms, who has gone to his home
in Fremont, o., asserts that he re-
signed because he could not tolerate
conditions and that inspectors in
charge of the bureau of animal indus
try We're too lenient with the packers.
He declared that no animus prompted
his letter. Asserting that "U. s. In
spected and Passed" as it appears on
products of all the packing houses is
meaningless, Harms, in his letter,
says:
"The inspection at the National
stockyards, Illinois, is costing the
people approximately 100000 a year.
and it is not actually worth 81 to
them. For when the word is passed
from the inspector in charge to the
inspectors actually doing the work
on the floors that they are getting
too many condemned animals, and to
change the grading, it means that the
whole thing is farce. Mr.. Secretary
the packers are getting to-day from
20 to so per cent of what ought to be
condemned and destroyed.
81 have seen from 1,200 to I 500
pounds of lard spill and run into an
open sewer in the floor, the sewer
outlet quickly blocked, and said lard
taken up from the floor and out of the
sewer, both of which were unclean
and unsanitary. And your doctors
passed same to the packers over the
protest of the inspector on that floor
and it went to the public marked u.
S. inspected and passed.
Some of the filthiest things mag
Unable are practiced in the sausage
departments, such as using bladders
for castings without thorough washing
or cleaning; the use of filthy tripe in
sausage

The shah OF Persia has turned an
other somersault, undoubtedly under
more or less compulsion He has re-
stored to his people the constitution
granted once before but withdrawn
when he desired to resume his auto
cratic rule. He managed to make
such a mess of it that the country has
been in turmoil, and he now yields
to the inevitable, following the advice
of various monarchs, his action being
no doubt somewhat accelerated by
the presence of Russian bayonets on
Persian soil. And if the shah doubts
what is good for him he has an in
structive object lesson in what has
happened in the adjoining Turkish
empire.

The wrecking of four barges of
string" of nine which broke away
from a tug off the Connecticut coast
is an incident which illustrates the
perils of the barge traffic for the men
who constitute the crews of the com
paratively helpless barges. Three
men and one woman lost their lives
by this wholesale wrecking. Barge
traffic along the Atlantic coast will
persist for some years, because there
are more old hulks there to wear
out in that way; but eventually when
coastwise traffic is done mainly by
steam craft of steel there will be a
dwindling in the barge feet similar
to the shrinkage which has occurred
on the great lakes. Seamen will be
glad when tow barges are out of
date.

LANDS ON BEARS BACK.
Bear as Much Scared as Parks, Who
Fell from Window.

Port Jervis, N. Y.-E. l.. Parks, a
publisher of Twenty-fifth street and
Fourth avenue, New York City, is oc-
cupying bungalow on top of the
World Mountain, the highest in Pike
County, Penn. During the night he
was awakened by a noise In the rear
of the building, and from the window
he saw large bear.
Mr.. Parks leaned out of the window
with .22 calibre revolver, lost his
balance, and fell upon the bear His
revolver went off and it was a ques-
ton which was the more frightened,
bear or man.
The bear uttered a roar of fright
and ran toward the woods. H. Her
man, son of ex-Sheriff Herman OF
Orange County, and fellow-camper
of Parks, was awakened by the noise
and ran out with shotgun. The
bear could be seen numbering away
toward the woods, and, though Her
man fired a shot after it, he failed to
make hit.
Mr.. Parks was uninjured. So was
the bear.

For many years there stood in the
yard of the Florentine railway a sa-
loon car, which bore the name of
"The Papal Car"
1t was originally built and fur
nished to be used by the Pope on
his journeys-at time when his
holmes did not choose to remain a
voluntary prisoner in the Vatican;
and it is not impossible that Plus TX.
may have used 1t before 1870, on
some of his not very numerous or
very extensive journeys.
Like the papal horse-drawn car
rages, it is distinguished from
the generally very lightly built Ital-
ian carriages by It's extreme size and
weight. 1t was done up in sky blue
with the figure of an angel at each
corner; and was both richly and gor-
geously fitted up.
Provision was made for all needs
and comforts of the Pope; there was
even a private altar, IN case his holi-
ness should want to read Mass
when under way
This car has disappeared as thor
oughly, as m; steriously; and no one
knows or will say-where 1t Is.
At the Milan exhibition of 1906
there was retrospect exhibit of
transportation of the ninteenth CEN
tury, and 1t vas intended to show
the papal car; but during the nego-
tiations to the effect the Italian pri-
vate railways passed into the pos
session of the state. which later re-
fused permission to have the car ex-
hihited Weekly Telegraph.

dates from 1859, when house In

to go monthly from New York to Bos.

The Five. .Hundredth Issue of Lippin
colts.

The August LippMcoHS marks
the five-hundredth appearance of
this interesting monthly magazine.
During those forty-odd years much
history has been made, and the
world has seen many important
changes. In the early days LiPpiH-
eOFS met with comparatively little
competition; for the past decade or
two it has been keen-so keen that
some really mertorious publica-
tions have fallen by the wayside.
Yet this dean of the magazines has
found no difficulty in holding its
own and adhering TO its established
price. in short, Lippinc0HS is not
growing old gracefully. 1t refuses
TO grow old at all.
The novelette, for August is
"The Cult and the Catamount,"
by Dorothy Garfield. 1t is spark
ling tale, with a clever plot. Its
opening scenes are laid in New
York, where some surprising
things happen in most plausible
way. Then the scene shifts TO a
New England rural district. whith-
er three competing parties race to
get possession of valuable copper
mine. OF course the right people
win, as might have been expected,
yet their path has been such
thorny one that the reader has been
afraid right along that they
wouldn't.
The short stories are rare lot.
"The Communicating of Angus
tus," boy story, by Grace Mac
Gowan Cooke and Caroline Wood
