The Food Which People Eat.

1t is interesting to note the numerous
ordinances which are being adopted by
municipalities throughout the country
in regard to the cleanliness of the food
which people eat In Columbus, Ohio,
for instance, it is unlawful to expose
fruits and food outside of any build
ings unless they are inclosed in a glass
case, while even within store the same
protection must be afforded. In Water
bury, Conn, all berries and fruits, in
cluding sliced watermelon, must be pro-
tected from il;es and dirt, while in
Toledo, Ohio, it is agsinst the law to
refill berry baskets. A score of other
instances could be given of the efforts
now being made by municipal author
tiles to protect the public against un-
clean food.
The regulations in this city are ad-
mirable, as far as they go, but they do
not go, far enough In a few of the
moten: and well-regulated stores
:neats. vegetables. and fruits are kept
under glass and thus protected from
ales and dirt, but in the majority Of
cases this requisite care is not shown.
1t would be well il, with the approach
of summer. the health department
would see that the food which people
eat in an uncooked state is kept where
il cannot become contaminated BY
germs, and thus prove an active agency
in the spread of disease.

Annapolis, Md, May 3o.-They did not
designate to-day on the week schedule
as official fussing day, but it amounted
to the same thing when they left it free
Of parades and drills and target prac-
tice and ordained that the one thing that
midshipmen were expected to do was to
see that the young persons from out of
town went tonight to the Academy's mu-
sical play.
This was the only day of respite for the
midshipmen. 1t was the only day when
they could climb into automobiles and
ride With their friends over the shadowed
roads towards, Baltimore or Washington.
Yesterday the commencement excitement
started. The board of visitors sent from
Congress had to be received first thing.
Then came the competitive drill of in
fantry, and In the afternoon they had to
show a few things that they have learned
about seamanship.
Tomorrow there are to be more drills,
this time by the artillery, and at sun
down comes dress parade, at which
medals are awarded for excellence in
various scholastic and professional
branches and in athletics.
One of the things that furnished food
for big and small talk to-day was the
announcement of the standing of the first

Why Not at Night2

Washington can afford to watch
closely the experiment now being con-
Quoted in New York concerning the
removal of ashes and other refuse at
night. Here in the Capital garbage
wagons and ash carts are sights far too
frequent and none too pleasing on our
streets. By collecting after sunset, or
even later still, as now is being done
in New York, this very necessary but
disagreeable work might be accom-
plished with considerable less offense
TO citizens.
The main advantage TO be derived
from such 4 night system would be to
keep the unsightly, dusty, and mall
odorous wagons off the streets during
the hours when traffic is greatest and
many pedestrians about. We under
stand that in New York the experiment
is meeting with universal approval.
There were some complaints at first be-
cause the heavy, numbering vehicles
were noisy and prevented repose and
sleep, but this was not of enough force
TO stop the experiment. Incidentally.
the men who have to do the work are
much better satisfied than to work all
day in the broiling sun at such a task
What is good for New York ought
20 be adaptable especially for Wash
ington. 1t would be we'll for the Dis
trict Commissioners to watch the New
York experiment and to try it.

The New Archbishop.

The selection Of Bishop Prendergast
as the successor to the late Archbishop
Ryan is declared to be the happy re-
alization of the fond hopes of the
Catholics of the Philadelphia arch
diocese, one of the most important in
this country.
For almost forty years priest and
bishop in that city, the new head of that
archdiocese has had occasion to ac-
quire familiarity with the people over
whom he now has been called to pre-
side. During, that long period he won
the respect and affection of the people
of other denominations as we'll. His
selection fourteen years ago, as auxil-
iary to Archbishop Ryan attested to the
high esteem in which he was held in
his own church, and his recent service
as administrator pointed to him as the
logical successor to the dignity and re-
sponsibility of the high Office to which
the Pope has elected him.
1t is fortunate for the Catholics of
Philadelphia that the direction of their
church affairs remains ip the hands of
one of their fellow-citizens, and that
there has been no interregnum in which
they were compelled to look to other
dioceses for the performance of the epis-
copal functions. The chief pastorship has
passed to an ecclesiastic who knows and
loves his people, and who is known and
loved by them.

QUEER LAWSUIT IN FRANCE
Owner of Dog Is Forced to Repay
Hundred Franc Note Which AMI
NAL Swallowed.

The complainant in French law
suit once testified that be was dining
on the terrace in front of a restau~-
ant, enjoying the air as we'll as the
food He has just begun to eat his
soup, which he found too hot for his
palate. While waiting for the soup
to cool, he took from his pocket roll
of bills which he had received in pay
ment of a bill.
In counting the money he accident
ally dropped a hundred-franc bank
note into his soup. He took it out Of
soup away The bank note was sat
urated with the greasy liquid, and he
laid it down on the tablecloth to dry
He was partaking Of the second
course, when a sudden gust of wind
blew the note off the table. He ran
after it, but a dog, which, although it
wore a collar and therefore in all
probability had home, yet showed
every sign of hunger, seized 1t. The
taste Of the soup on the paper made
it palatable, and the dog swallowed
the note in an instant.
The complainant used all his per-
suasive power in an effort to get the
dog to come near him, and finally sue
ceeded in doing SO, when he was en-
abled to read the name engraved on
the CANNES collar.
When the complainant had ascer-
tanned the address of the owner of
the dog, he sought out a lawyer,
through whose aid he brought suit
against the owner for the restitution
Of the hundred francs.
The court solemnly decided thar the
owner of the dog must pay, holding
that since the dog was property. the
owner must be held responsible for
any act committed by the ANIMAL
