Science and Cheese,

A medical authority kindly assures
as that as long as cheese isn't de.
cayed it will not affect the health of
the consumer, This is fact that we
nave suspected for a considerable
time. But how is the ordinary cheese
epicure to detect the difference-un-
less he waits for results?
There is cheese so thoroughly dis
guised in the costume and aroma of
decay that its proper standing on the
sanitary testing table would puzzle a
conjuror.
For instance, there is the brand
known as limburger.
But why pursue this subject?

THREE ROADS ARE INDICTED
RAILWAYS AND SHIPPERS BREAK
ANTITRUST LAW.
Two Hit by Government Are Atlantic
Coast Lines and Seaboard
Air Line.

Savannah, Ga.-Three large cor
porations and two individuals were
indicted by the federal grand jury in
the United States district court here
Friday on a charge of infringing the
antitrust laws by giving and &C
cepting rebates on grain shipments
The Atlantic Coast line and the Sea
board Air line railways were indicted
jointly with the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company for
specific violations of the Sherman
antitrust and Elkins laws.
Harvie c. Miller and Morris F. Nil.
Ter, grain merchants and members of
L. F. Miller & Sons, Philadelphia,
were the individuals to feel the wrath
of the government The Miller broth
ers put themselves in the jurisdiction
of the United States court for the
southern district of Georgia through
their shipments into this district over
tie lines of the three corporations in
dicted
when the individual defendants are
alleged to have made shipments over
the lines named at rates less than
those on file with the interstate COM
merce commission.
1t is alleged that from western
points to Philadelphia the Millers OBJ
tanned export rates where the law de-
manded domestic rates. This saved
them from one to three cents on every
100 pounds of grain shipped.
Morris F. Miller and Harvie G. Mil
Ter of Philadelphia we're Immediately
arrested and placed under bonds Of
$4,000 each.
Immediately after the indictments
were presented Judge Emory Speer
thanked the grand jury for its prompt
and effective work and commented on
the example of patriotism it had set
through the service rendered.
The beginning of the investigation
against the defendants arose from
complaints registered with the inter
state commerce commission during the
summer. 1t was said the Miller firm
had destroyed competition in grain
shipments over an enormous territory
embracing points along the Missis-
sippi and Ohio rivers and in the South
Atlantic states. Proceedings were
held before Commissioner Clements in
Philadelphia during July. The revela-
tons were sufficient to start the pow
erful machinery Of the government
against not only the Miller firm, but
also the Intermediates.

SETBACK FOR HE|NzE
U. s. SUPREME COURT REvERSES
LOWER BODY IN QuASHING
CHARGES.
NEW TRIAL IS IMPROBABLE
Counts Sustained Cover Practically
Same Transactions Upon Which the
New York Banker Was Acquitted
Indictments Are Held Sufficient.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Holdiug that
the circuit court of the United States
for the southern district of New York
had erred, the Supreme court of the
United States reversed the lower court
and held sufficient various counts of
indictments charging F. Augustus
Heinze with the misrepresentation CT
funds of the Mercantile National bank
Of New York city, of which he was
president Further proceedings on
these counts must now be taken in the
lower court.
One of the points on which the low
er court held the indictments insult
conversion by the recipient of the pro-
ceeds of certain notes discounted.
After reviewing the previous cases
touching on this point, Justice McKen
ma, in announcing the decision Of the
court, said:
erred in considering as necessary not
only that there should be alleged a
conversion by the officer of the bank,
but also of the recipient of the pro-
ceeds OF The discount The conversion
may be to the use of either, and the
indictment fulfills the requirement"
The constitutionality of the act of
March 2, 1907, allowing the govern
ment an appeal in adverse decisions
on preliminary pleas in criminal cases,
was upheld by the court, which reit-
Grated the statement that the right of
appeal was not essential to due proc
ess Of law"
District Attorney Wise of New York
city, when apprised of the decision, ex-
pressed himself as gratified that the
form IN which the indictments were
drawn in his Office had been upheld.
Mr.. Wise would not state positively
that Heinze would be tried again, and
as the indictments just sustained COW
cred practically the same transactions
as those covered in the indictment
upon which Heinze was tried and ac-
quilted last spring attorneys who have
followed the Heinze cases regarded
another trial of the defendant as i'm
probable.

grounds of her Chestnut Hill home.
1t is believed her drive of Thursday
might have aggravated the cold she
caught a little over a week ago. The
extent to which Mrs. Eddy had car
ried her idea of personal suppression
in regard to the Christian Science
church is shown in the fact that she
was never inside the new Christian
Science church on Falmouth street
in this city. 1t is also probable that
she never saw the edifice.
About her at the time of death came
were persons who have been intimate
hold for the past several years: Cal
ly associated with her in her house
vim A. Frye, Laura f. Sargent, Mrs.
Ella S. Rathvon of Colorado, Rev.
Irving @. Tomlinson, her correspond
ing secretary; William r. Rathvon
of Kansas City.
No Physician Was in Attendance.
No physician was in attendance at
the bedside Of Mrs Eddy. While no
one of those present, all of whom
were devoted students, realized just
when death had come, it was believed
by them and SO stated that Mrs. Eddy
had spent her final moments in the
body in a spiritual communing with
God, lighting against death according
to the principles which she had her
self set forth in the Bible of the
Christian Science religion, her book,
Science and Health, With Key to the
Scriptures"
Those surrounding her themselves
prayed increasingly. Mrs. Eddy left
no final message, due, it is said. to
her last efforts in following out her
own doctrine.
Health Officer Issues Certificate.
After Mrs. Eddy's death came those
about her set themselves to do the
necessary duties. A telephone call
was put in for DR.. George L. West,
the medical examiner of Newton Cen
ter, whose presence was required I'M
der the law, as Mrs. Eddy had not
had medical attendance. Doctor West
immediately responded and after ma
king his examinations of the body,
pronounced that death was due to
natural causes" and issued the GUS
tomary certificate.
Chairman Albert Farlow stated that
the great body of Christian Scientists
had received the news Of Mrs. Eddy's
death with the greatest calmness.

COUNTY TREASURER is SHORT
Hardy N. Whitlock of DanViIle, ILL.,,
Turns Over All His Property
to Bondsmen.

Danville, Ill.-Hardy N. Whitlock.
county treasurer, was Monday de-
clared short in his public accounts to
the amount of $37.522.04 The short
age became known when Treasurer
Whitlock, for score of years hold
ing public Office, was to have turned
the treasurership over to his success
sor and retire to private life.
Business ventures and investments
had not been as successful as he had
anticipated. Calling his attorney and
bondsmen together the treasurer sug-
gested that his private holdings be
taken over by the bondsmen and that
they stand such differences as might
be shown until he could arrange to
wipe out the Indebtedness. This was
arranged, leaving the politician pen
niless and homeless and still with q
shortage of about $4,000.

81, 100000 PEOPLE IN U. S.
Total Population Estimated on Basis
of Results of Count Already
Given Out.

Washington.-The total population
of the United States, as revealed by
the thirteenth census, is expected to
be announced by the census bureau
December TO-
Counting Arizona and New Mexico
as states, the totals for % of the 4S
states already have been announced
The grand total for &c of these states
is 60,036.759, which is a gain of 81 to
% per cent over the population in
the same states in 1900. At this rate
of increase the total population of the
country should be about 100000.
The most striking development of
the census bureau so far shown is
the relative growth of cities and in
dustrial centers comparel with farm
ing regions. The eastern states have
more than held their own, while the
states of the middle west have fallen
off.
