EIGHT FORK SHARK CAUGHT.
BY Some Young Men in the Harbor
CT Charleston.

A Charleston dispatch to The State
says two big waterspouts and the
catch of an eight-foot shark afford
ed the harbor people something to
talk about Friday. The monster
shark was caught by a party In a
motor boat off the jetties. The shark
was hooked by Edward Eve, who was
assisted by Edmun Shelby, Philip Eve
and Edward Means in landing the
monster. 1t was hard work landing
the big fish, which at times would
leap Is feet out OF the water, threat
ening to carry the boat out to sea or
down to the bottom of the channel.
The waterspouts were seen off the
Stono phosphate works. The spout
moved along the river for consider
able distance; fortunately the river
was clear of smai; craft at the time.

THEY OUTWIT LAWS
OFFICERS KEPT BUSY WATCHING
FOR FRAUDS.
How Food Stuffs of all Kinds Are
Adulterated by Dishonest Manu-

facturerS.
The efforts of the government an6
the various States to provide pure
food for the people of the country has
brought about a higher quality Of
foodstuffs, but it has lot deferred the
inventive genius of country from try
ing to work out schemes for substi-
tutes and adulterations.
Dr. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of the
Kansas Board of Health and
chief food and drug inspector of the
state, is receiving no less than a doz-
en- letters a day telling of schemes
whereby one pound of butter may be
made into two and scores of other
circulars from alleged chemists and
get-rich-quick men in Eastern cities
who would make grocers and butch
ers their tools.
Probably the worst adulteration
that has come to the attention of the
Kansas department and is to be sup
posed to the Pure Food departments
in other states, is butter emulsion
which will cause the butter to absorb
its exact weight in water and still pre-
vent the butter eaters knowing it.
Take pound of butter and pound
of water and a spoonful of this emul-
sion, work the three together for a.
bout ten minutes, and there is two
pounds of butter and water. The
average Housewife could not tell the
difference between this watered but
ter and the real article.
A man in Tennessee has developed
scheme by which he can make a
pure apple-cider vinegar at an actural
cost of four cents gallon, and using
one apple for each gallon. The fraud
could not be detected except by an ac-
tural chemical test. The same chap
also has a scheme for making apple
butter with one apple to the gallon OF
butter and at a cost of one-fourth the
real article.
A man in Rochester, N. Y, develop
ed plan of treating sawdust with
molasses to use in adulterating spices
One part of the real spice and three
parts of sawdust made the product
which could not be detected by the
eye or tongue.
Frauds in flavoring extracts and
maple syrup have been common. A
Vernon man has offered recipe to
Kansas grocers so that they can make
the maple syrup the purchase into an
fraudulent syrup to one-half gallon
of the real syrup.
There are numerous other schemes
for increasing the weight Of parched
coffee, preserving eggs, useless bak-
ing powders, making mincemeat and
tomato catsup at reduced cost by U.s.
ing little meat or tomatoes. The gro
Ger, to get the recipes, must pay for
them. The price is usually $40 and
pledge Of secrecy.

MYSTERIOUS BODY Is RULING TURKS
Grand Vizier Said to be Slated to Lose His Position
 in Empire

SALoNIKA, April 20.--Since the events of April. IsUs. Sslonika claims to be the virtual capital of the Turk ish empire in view of the dominant position then acquired by the local
 Young Turk committee. Three cab
 met ministers have recently been relieved of their duties owing to the
 action of this secret, irresponsible
 body, and it is whispered here that the grand yizier and the foreign min ister are doomed to share tae fate
 of their deposed colleagues. Hakki
 Pasha, however, :s stated to nave resolved to make last stand on be-
 half of constitutional principles. Se
 insists on retaining Rifaat in the
 cabinet, and it is reported that he
 has already won over Haiil Bey, the
 newly appointed minister of the n. terior
 The proceedings Of the committee
 here are shrouded in the deepest mystery, he members are bound by an oath of secrecy, and even the
 best informed observers know notn- ing of it's deliberations. It is rum ored, however. that violent dis sensions prevail among the Young
 Turks. and there can be little doubt
 that the military clubs both here and at Uskub and Monastir regard the proceedings of the civilian politicians with growing dissatisfaction. Some of the officers. indeed, openly hint that great change is in preparation. IT.
 fhe circumstances a certain amount Of uneasiness prevails among the [ foreign residents as regards the DO ltical outlook. The officers who were | formerly favorable to the committee or union and the progress have changed 5 des. and the army is now stated to be wholly devoted to Nah mud Shevket and to be ready tc 1 support him should he see fit to l proclaim a military dictatorship. He ] seems, however, to have little polit. ! ical ambition, and is indisposed to extend the sphere of his activity be
 yond the army. Should ne reserve to take action the remnants of the
 constitutionalism would probably dis,
 appear. as he is known to have little
 disposition for parliamentary insti

 simplifed form Of city government. 1t consists Of five trustees, or com missioners. elected by the entire city at one election, each for a two year term and without any ward smes. This has been called the Des aioines plan of city government. The Idea originated at Galveston, Tex. The people Of Galveston, in their distress after their great calamity, mad to have a simplified form of city government. Their affairs were too complicated for the old form. It Is a strange fact that a few men can ! do successfully what a large number are unable to do. For ins.anca, VIC often discover that a receiver ap- pointed by the courts can make a business successful, the very bust. ness that a large number of stock holders had failed in. The Des Moines plan, while evolved from Gal weston, is greatly improved and seems to us quite complete. The five commissioners have power tc elect all the other city officers They select the auditor, clerk, treas urer, city solicitor, police judge and SO fourth.

The idea in the DesBfoines plan has been concentration of power and concentration of responsibility. We are building a city building which 5hal not have legislative chamber tn 1t. We have abolished party poll ties. We have as near as may be. established a business government. Tho people are backing the eommis- sioners in every good thing. Pnblic ity :z a main factor.

A great move is made forward when partisan politics Is abolished. The commits sioners are chosen at non-partisan primary The ten receiving the highest number of votes are voted for at the polls. Five of these are elected One of the number Is called mayor. However, he has no more authority than his associates. Each commissioner is the head Of q de partment by mutual agreement. The commissioners give their whole time to work and are on duty during bus mess hours. We have the initiative, the referendum and recall for the commissioners, but not for any of their subordinates. None of these features of the charter have been used I would not favor the recall in an organization as large as a state. have never observed the endum in a state.

TUCSON MAN LOOKS
 FOR RUNAWAY SUN
(DuugIas internationally


 Eduardo Carillo. a prominent citi- zen of Tucson, arriving in Douglas on Sunday. coming here to meet his son. who had left home without permission several days ago.
 The boy is about IF years old, and his disappearance was wholly unex- pected. and there is no known req son why he should have come to Douglas, unless he had been filled with the insurrecto spirit,and came here in the hope of joining the in .surrecto army in Agua Prieta.
 When young Carlmo reached Doug las on Saturday morning he was met on the street by Mercedes We iasco. a friend of the family. who knew him and surmised that he was not in this strange city with the permission of his parenth. She did not make known her suspicious to the boy. but insisted that he should BO anu stay dA htA hOAhS- HIS wa" agreed to and then Mercedes took the first opportunity to send tele. gram to Mir. Carillo, telling of the presence here of his son. On re- ceapt of the telegram Carillo took ehe first train for Douglas, arriving sunday morning, and was delighted ,o find his lost boy. who he close oerded until yesterday afternoon, when they returned to Tucson.
 Eduardo Carrfllo belongs to one of the prominent families who have resided in Tucson for the last cen tury. He Is nephew of the late Leopoldo Corrillo. who was at Tue son when the first Americans reach cd that point.
 Thirty-tive years ago Leopoldo Cor rillo was caught by a notorious ban dit in Sonora. south of Tucson when Carrillo and one or two va queros were in that country looking after cattle, of which Carrillo was the owner of many, both in Sonora and Arizona. The bandit fixed g ransom of s50OO gold on the head oi Corrillo and gave him time to send a messenger to his family and friends in Tucson. to advise them ot the terms on which his life would be spared.
 When the messenger reached Tue son there was a rushing around fol the money, with the result that next day the money, all in Mexican dol lars, was dispatched to the camp o the bandit in a cart. On its arriva | Carrfllo was released and returned home.
 This was not the end of the in c.dent between Carriiio and the ban dit, and several years later whel Carrillo was in Sonora with a goot body of his vaqueros it chanced tha the bandit fell into his hands. He a once began to plead that his If be spared and offered to return t Carrillo the money which had beel paid for his ransom. Carrillo listen ed only a moment, when it. is sai
 he held his hands between his fac and the bandit, with the remark [ . his vaqueros: Take him out an , shoot and don't allow him to furthe l tempt me"

Meanwhile the attitude of the Young Turks toward the subject populations has altered considerably. Doubtless by order of the commit tees, if not of the central goyer1i- ment, the local authorities are dis playing a more merciful disposition, and in the Salonika viiayer al Ieas, the beating of peasants has come to an end Sililar ieniency Is ap- parently being practieed in the villa vets of Monstir and Uskub. although cases of beating villagers in the dis tricts of Krushevo and Lemir Hissar ! have recently been reported.

Tn order to emphasize the newly established cordiality be tween rulers and duled, so-caHe. mass meetings have been summone, at Drama, Voderna Ostroyo and else where which the peasants obedientil attend and where they pass by ac ciamation various resolutions in dorsing the measures of a paterna government declaring that the re ports circulated abroad regardinl their maltreatment are malicious in vention. and thanking the authorities for having handed over to them cer

Great Question
DISCREPANCIES IN RETURNS
On Their Face There Remains a
Small Majority in Favor
of the Drys.

(By Special Leased Wire TO New Mexican)
Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE fate
OF constitutional prohibition in Maine
remained in doubt early today. On
the face of the unofficial returns there
appeared to be very small majority
on the Prohibition side. In two in
stances, however, the unofficial re.
turns from town and city clerks do
not agree with the figures sent by the
same clerks to .he secretary of state
at Augusta.
Vets Win BY 1874.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 14.-Retuans
received at the office of the secretary
of state up to noon today with only
six towns missing and these six sup.
piled by returns received in Portland
showed:
For repeal of Prohibition. 1. !. 4. .6O.517
Against repeal of prohibition. go, ,3S3
Majority for repeal ............ 1874
Official Recount Necessary.
If the figures received in Portland
from Limestone, Matinicus Isle, and
Topsfield, which have been shown to
be reversed as compared with those
received in Augusta, are allowed, they
will show victory against repeal o1
1886.
An official recount will probably be
necessary to determine the result Of
the balloting.
