PAINTED CHEESE new
METHOD OF STEALING
Increases Weight is to 26
Per Gent.

Something distinctly new in the way
OF prosecutions in food cases is prom
ised in Philadelphia by Special Agent
Harry P. Cassidy, of the dairy and
food department.
Every sample purchased for analy.
sis of "GOrgonzola cheese" imported
into this country, chiefly from Italy,
and on sale at the high class groceries
and sold to the best trade of the
city, has been found to be covered
with a coating, the primary purpose
of which is to increase the weight of
the cheese 16 to 26 per cent, for which
the consumer pays.
Aside from the fact that the coating
increases tn. weight, it contains a
poisonous substance, which, by absorp-
tiOn, penetrates the cheese. The poison
is known chemically as "barytes" or
'barium sulphate."
The normal commercial use of this
poison is in making mixtures of white
paint, and is extensively used by the
manufacturers of paint. On the cheese
the coating is colored with a prepara-
tion of iron rust, to give it it's brown
color.
The use of "barytes" in brandy is
prohibited by both federal and state
statutes. Gorgonzola cheese retails at
about so cents a pound.

Bio Landslide In Panama Canal.

Without warning and upsetting all
theories and all estimates, 100000 Gu
bic yards of rock and earth slid into
the Pioneer cut, just opposite the town
of Culebra, in the Panama canal.
1t is one of the worst slides the
canal commission engineers have had
to contend with, and it is worse than
any previous slide from the fact that
the others could be explained, even
were predicted.
The latest avalanche of dirt changes
canal plans materially. 1t makes it
seem necessary that the entire prism
shall be enlarged sufficiently to pre-
vent any occurrence of the sort after
the completion of the canal. There
seems to be no doubt that all of Gold
Hill will have to be removed, in itself
a considerable undertaking. And 1885,
900 yards of the slide itself represents
waste.

SAVED FROM ROPE
BY SHERIFF'S POSSE
Father and Son Killed Neigh
Dor in Quarrel.

John Beers, a farmer, forty years
old, and his son, Gibson Beers, aged
twenty-one years, of near Bellefon-
taine, o., were rescued from a mob
by a sheriff's posse after the younger
man had shot dead Burr Kerns, a
neighbor.
Kerns, accompanied by his brother,
Daniel, and two friends had gone to
the Beers home, where they accused
Beers of stealing corn.
According to the elder Beers, during
the alteration one of the men struck
him with a shovel, knocking him
down. He says that another man at
tackled his wife and that Burr Kerns
was rushing at him when young Beers
fired
After the shooting Kerns friends
assembled with the avowed intention
of lynching the Beers. The latter bar
ricaded themselves inside their home
and held the mob off with their rifles
until the sheriff arrived with a posse
to whom they surrendered. DAME
Kerns was also arrested.

Paid $35 and Saw Husband Murdered.
That she paid $35 to have her hus-
band put out of the way and stood
and saw him murdered, was the ad-
mission credited to Mrs. Lena Cusu-
mano by her sister, when the latter
testified at the trial of Mrs. Cusumano
on the murder charge in the superior
court in Plymouth, Mass.
The sister, Mrs. Accuisa de Legart,
of Boston, testified that Mrs. Cusu-
mano visited her home few days be-
fore the body of Frank Cusumano was
found in the surf, at Sunset Beach,
Hull, and in discussing his disappear
ance, said:
"My head told me to have him kill
ed. l paid $35 and had him killed"
"Are you sure he is dead? Aren't
they fooling you?" the sister asked.
The reply of Mrs. Cusumano, as given
by the witness, was:
81 saw it done with my own eyes.
They gave him one blow in the neck
with the axe"
where is he buried?" the ques-
toner persisted, according to her tss-
timony.
HE isn't buried, but wrapped in a
quilt tied with wire and thrown into
the sea at o'clock at night" Mrs.
Cusumano is said to have replied.

EXTRA SESSION
To START APRIL 4
President Consulted Democrats
in Selecting Date.
NO CHANGE IN SITUATION

The Report That Senator AIdrich Is
Hurrying to Washington to Save
Canadian Reciprocity Bill Is Dis
credited.
President Taft has conferred with
Champ Clark, who will be speaker of
the next house, and Representative
Underwood, who will be chairman of
the ways and means committee, and
finally set Tuesday, April 4, as the
date of the convening of the extra ses-
sion of the Sixty-second congress.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood told
the president that the time needed
for organizing the new house would
make a thirty-day interval between
sessions no waste of time.
The reasonableness of the argument
appealed to the president, but in
adopting the suggestion Mr.. Taft has
had to change his plans. He will leave
Washington on March for Atlanta to
address the southern commercial con-
gress. He had expected to be back in
Washington the morning of the 18th,
but that was when he expected to call
congress to meet March 20.
Under the present arrangement the
president will go from Atlanta to Au-
gusta, Ca, for a two weeks rest.
1t was at Augusta that he spent a
part of the winter after his election
and before his Inauguration. In fact,
Augusta has arrogated to itself the
title of 'the southern capital" and the
president never has disputed the
claim. He has been there twice since
and has encouraged the citizens in
their southern capital" idea.
In the month intervening the Demo-
Gratis will make up their committees
and have the house ready for prompt
organization.
There was no change in the situa-
tion in the senate regarding the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement, and the
leaders see no hope of bringing to a
vote at this session the Mccall bill
to carry the agreement into effect.
Many rumors were circulated of
AAOhCS W SdNC IlG SlIudllOIy Uul dp-
parently they were all without foun-
dation.
The most persistent of all was one
that Senator Aldrich was speeding
from Jekyl Island to Washington at
the urgent solicitation of President
Taft to take charge in the senate. The
story is not believed by any of Sena-
tor Aldrich's immediate friends in the
senate nor at the White House.
AS matter of fact, no one believes
that the coming of Senator Aldrich
would alter the situation in respect
to the Mccall bill The measure is op-
posed by Senators Cummins, Bristow,
Clapp and many other insurgent Re
publicans.
The arrival of Mr.. Aldrich and any
attempt by him to force the consider
alton of the bill would serve, accord
ing to the consensus of opinion in the
senate, only to intensity the insur.
gents fight against the measure.
Such a course would be resented
furthermore, by some of Mr.. Aldrich's
best friends, like Senators Hale, Nc
Cumber, Smoot and others who aided
him in framing the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law, but who are opposed to the
| Canadian agreement.

ROB WOMAN OF
S13O,OOOIK GEMS
Stolen From Her StaterOOm
Aboard Ocean Liner.
POLICE HAVE NJ CLUE
Former Wife of Marshall Field, Jr.,
of Chicago, Missed Jewelry From
Drawer of Cabinet In Her Bedroom.

Mrs. Maldwin Drummond, who was
formerly Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., of
Chicago, was much perturbed after
she awOke in her suite on board the
Hamburg-American liner Amerika,
coming to New York from Hamburg,
when she discovered that her precious
white, black and pink pearl jewelry,
valued at $13O,OOO, had vanished over
night from the drawer of a writing
desk in the bedroom of her suite.
The police have little hope of get
ting the thief, and the officials of the
Hamburg American line say that I'M
less the police solve the mystery it is
likely to be forever unsolved.
The loss was reported Immediately
the liner docked at Hoboken, and the
police of HOboken and New York are
working on the case Mrs. Drummond
hurried to the Hotel Plaza, declining
to discuss the loss.
The Hamburg-American line dis
claims all responsibility on the ground
that passengers leave jewels in their
staterooms at the owners risk. To

the missing jewelry as follows:
Two strings of 273 pearls each.
One string of 2S3 pearls.
One large black pearl ring set with
diamonds.
One large white pearl ring set with
diamonds.
One pair large pearl earrings set
with diamonds.
One black pearl brooch, set with
diamonds, with a black pearl, pea
shaped, pendant.
A wireless message sent from the
Amerika as she neared port summon
ed detectives down the bay in a tug.
They learned from Mrs. Drummond
details of the theft and began a comb
ing of the ship and a search of the
crew. But not trace of the jewels
was found.
Mrs. Drummond explained that ex-
cept at night she had worn the jewels
almost constantly on her person, but
had kept them under her waist and
had not displayed them at any time
even while dining.
On retiring she placed them in q
cabinet drawer of the stateroom, as
she had done each night during the
voyage. No one had access to the
stateroom, she added, beside her hus
band, herself and her maid. The maid
she holds above suspicion.
Arising in the morning to make
her toilette before the liner docked
she was startled to find the drawer
empty. The captain of the Amerika
was notified and a quiet investigation
was begun before an aerogram called
police authorities on shore. Stewards
and stewardesses were questioned
closely and their clothes and belong
ings searched, and when the detec
tives arrived there were quiet inquir
les among the 1873 first cabin passen
gesr on board.
AS not clew was developed, how
ever, the customs authorities were ap
pealed to, and under guise of baggage
inspection every ones luggage was
sifted thoroughly, but so fas as couIC
be learned not even a suspicion wa:
unearthed.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
quires An Internal Remedy.


The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed in excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows the malady to get
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of cases,
it has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe it will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the peisons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root of the dis
ease and removes it's cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at Soc. and 81 bottle.
