Important That Milk Be Clean.

Washington, Sept. 20.-"Certified
milk is growing in favor, according to
the department of agriculture, which
announced today that the daily pro-
duction of 126 dairies in the United
States now is nearly $4,000 gal
Ions, an increase of nearly three hum
dred per cent in five years. The de-
partment points out, however. that this
amount is only about one-half of one
per cent of the total milk supply of the
country.
The department experts lay empha-
sis on the fact that expensive appara
tus is not so necessary to the produce
ton of certified and absolutely clean
milk as is a careful and unremitting
attention to sanitary details.
In a bulletin which the department
has just issued. the proper methods for
turning out certified milk are set forth.

RADCLIFFE CONCERTS.
Maud Powell, Violinist. Second Attrac-
ton of Popular Series.

Maud Powell, violinist, appears at the
Grand opera house November Z as the
second attraction of the Radcliffe concert
series. Few are the artists OF the concert
platform, whose popularity Will stand the
test of an annual hearing and show a
steady increase. Maud Powell is one of
these. And the reason for this stands
forth in the introductory remarks of the
New York commentators.
There was matter enough in Miss
Powell's entertainment to furnish forth
comment to fill a column remarks Mr..
Henderson of the Sun. in allusion no doubt
to Miss Powelis well known habit of
treating her admirers to absolutely I'M
hackneyed programs. Maud Powell, queen
of living violiniStS, gave recital in
which she interpreted music by ten COM
posers. Italian. German, English, Aneri-
can and Russian in a style marvelously
adapted in each case to the nationality
of the piece in hand, is the way Mr.. Finch
of the Evening Post summarizes the menu
of this musical feast.

er revolution is sweeping over .nIs UNI
fortunate republic, and the three fig
ures who loom largest and have most
to lose or gain are Cipriano Castro. Gen.

Castro is the dictator who was
driven out of Venezuela several
years ago. So thrifty was he during
his short term as president of the
republic that when he left hurriedly
for Europe he took with him several
millions in cold cash. He lived pleas
antly as an exile in France; but Cas-

spirit of battle in his blood. So he is
now at the head of a desperate band

Gomez is the man who seized the

more cautiously than his predecessor.

political privilege and monopoly. The

weight of a throng crowding into the
auditorium for the exercises therein
celebrating Empire day, the anniver-

The cause of the accident was the
overburdening of the pier. The over

unlocking the doors. II the doors had
been unlocked at the proper time. 1t

got into the auditorium instead Of
massing at the doors, where the weight
overwhelmed the pier supports.
The crowd massed about the audi
forum doors was composed mostly Of
women and children. When the Sec

with 1t and a half dozen policemen
who had been vainly striving to hold
the thrOng in check went with them.
