POINTS IN RELATION TO THE EN FORCEMENT OF THE PURE 3 FOOD LAW ARE TO BE PASSED JUPON SOON. tPublishers' PresJ ' Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. S. II. E. Barnard, chemist of the State Board of Health, and H. E. Bishop and Norris Thompson, assistants in the chem ical laboratory, have received letters from James Wilson, secretary of Ag riculture, asking for their opinions, as experts, on certain points with ref erence to the enforcement of the new national pure food law. "The food and' drug law forbids the additions to foods of any ingredient which may render such articles Inju rious to health." reads the letter. "It also forbids specifically the addition of any poisonous or injurious color or flavor or any which may deceive or mislead the purchaser in any re spect regarding its character. In harmony with the authority invested In me by the Congress, I desire to ask your advice on the followinig points: "1. Are preservatives, other than the usual condimental preservatives, namely, salt .sugar, alcohol, vinegar, spices and wood smoke, injurious to health? "2. Does the introduction of any of the preservatives which you deem injurious to health render the foods Injurious to health? "3. If a substance added to food is injurious to health, does it become so when a certain quantity is presjent only, or is it so in any quantity (whatever? f "4. If a substance is injurious to health, is there any safe limit to the ; quantity which may be used, which may be fixed by regulation or by law? ( "5. If foods can be perfectly preserved without the addition of chemlcal preservatives, is their addition ever advisable. "Are artificial colors advisable in i foods, and if so, what kinds, in what 'quantities and under what restrictions? - s j In propounding the , above questions I desire to say that I am aware 'of the difference of opinion among exIperts respecting the use of preservatives and colors. I am also aware ;of the fact that the laws of many countries and of many of our States specifically forbid the use of certain colors and certain preservative substances. I desire to be guided by the best unguided authorities on these important matters, keeping in viewalways the safety of the consumer for whose protection the food law was enacted. I therefore beg you to answer these questions and thus help ime to interpret properly the acts of Congress referred to above. I shall be pleased to 'have a -reply as early tas convenient." The replies have not been formulat 'ed yet.

New Castle, Ind., Sept. 8. (Spl.) A gain of 50 per cent in population in six years is the record of New Castle, the "Flower City," one probably not equaled by any city in the State of Indiana. The Government census of 1900 showed the population of New Castle to be 3.406 and the census just completed shows the present population to be 6,200. The number of people living in the city at the present time was learned by statistics gathered for the issue of a new city directory which will be distributed next week. Before another year it is expected that the population of New Castle will be over 10t-

000. and if plans for acquiring certain factories succeed, and there is every reason to believe they will, the Flower City may have a population of 20,000 by 1910. The building of interurbans will bring in many people and the new factories, now almost assured, are expected to do the rest MORE CHARGES ARE PILING UP Ohio Has a Decided Sensation as Result of the Revelations. SPITEW0RK IS ALLEGED DISCHAHutD EMPLOYE FOLLOWS UP HIS ALLEGATIONS OF MAL FEASANCE WITH OTHER SERI OUS CHARGES. Publishers PressJ Columbus, Sept. 8. The new charges against Superintendent J. W. Jones of the state deaf and dumb institution, by J. B. Tetlow, the dis charged assistant engineer of the in stitution, reflecting on the moral con duct of the superintendent, will not be referred by Governor Harris for in vestigation until he receives the re port of the trustees of the institution on the first charges made by Tetlow of mismanagement, extravagance and use of state employes and material by Jones, as alleged, for his own personal benefit. When Tetlow first filed charges they were referred to the trustees. Tetlow claims the board it attempting to whitewash Jones, and claiming that the president of the board is prejudiced in the superintendent's favor, he asks that the state charities board make the investigation. Should the report on the first charges disclose misrepresentation of the facts or spitework, the governor may conclude that the whole of the charges are simply an effort to use the' executive office to secure revenge on Superintendent Jones because he had Tetlow discharged. But should the first charges be proven, then the governor will have the second set investigated. The governor is manifestly provoked by the fact that the new charges were made public before he had scarcely received them.' "I can only hope that I might not be compelled to d'gnify the charges with a denial," said Superintendent Jones. "But they are absolutely and totally false." Playing Safe.

LETTERS TO PRISON INMATES CANNOT BE TAMPERED WITH

Ruling Which Has Interest to Every Person Who Has An Unfortunate Friend or Relative Behind Prison Bars.

Richmond people who have friends and relatives in the state prison can write to them with confidence that some stern prison official will not first read the tender missive to see if it is of a suitable nature to be delivered to the convict. This comes from the recent ruling of the attorney general of the United States, in which it is declared that prison authorities have no legal right to open the mail of prisoners without the consent of the person to whom the letter is addressed. The attorney general of the United States, in speaking of the custom of wardens to open the mail of prisoners as a precautionary measures, says: "To allow the letters to be opened by an officer not in charge of the prisoner and then to be returned in a mutilated condition, thus endangering the safe delivery of the letters and such enclosure as it may contain, and this, too, because the officer has fail ed to advise himself before opening the letter that he can not deliver it, is an outrage upon the rights of the prisoner." Another passage of the decision of the attorney general of the United States in the interests of the post of fice department, says: "A letter once placed in the post office Is in the custody of the department for transmission and delivery to Everything is near, everything else. It is a city of annihilated distances. "Church cars" are run on Sundays, making a circuit of the Pack Bay places of worship. ' Copley square for once seems disappointing.

Neither postmaster nor officer of the law has any authority to open it under the pretext that there might be somehing improper or very criminal in it or that it would be aid in the detection of offenders gainst the law. A letter of a criminal must therefore be delivered to him unless he may otherwise direct." Indiana prison authorities take charge of all mail that is sent to the inmates of the different institutions. In the reformatory and in the state prison, all mail addressed to prisoners is carefully perused by an employe before it is turned over to the person who is entitled to receive it. Superintendent Whittaker of the state prison, in his request for an opinion as to his right to open the mail of the inmates of his institution, informed the attorney general that prisoners on entering his institution usually sign an agreement by which the superintendent is given the right to receive and open all mail that may come to them . "In some" instances," the superintendent wrote, "we have returned mail after opening it, finding that it contained objectionable matter." "Where you have the written consent of the prisoner, giving voluntar-, lly," the attorney general wrote to Superintendent Whittaker, "you may act with impunity in accordance with his directions."

isjfllNCK'S BILLIONS OF MINNOWS STATISTICS OF FISHERY The Number of "Fry' Streams and Lakes Planted in During the Year, Is Almost Beyond Man's Com prehension Figures Given. Publishers PresaJ Washington, Sept. 8. A preliminary statement made by George M. Bowers, United States commissioner of fisheries, to the secretary of the department of commerce and labor of the operations of his bureau for the past fiscal year, says that the aggregate output of fry from the commission's hatcheries during the year was 1,931,854,609, an increase of nearly 200,000,000 over 1905. On the great lakes the plant of white fish, lake trout and wall-eyed pike has been commensurate with the operations of net and seine fishers, who would long ago have exhausted these had not nature's efforts been supplemented by artificial propagation. The waters of the interior have been replenished with what are regarded a3 the most desirable fishes, and each year larger numbers of large mouth and small mouth bass are planted. Innumerable small lakes and ponds have been stocked and these often constitute the only source of food fish for the community. Under the bureau's policy the small farmer, the owner of private preserves, the sportsmen's club may have waters in which they are inter ested planted with the most suitable fish. Even the humblest negro in the cotton fields or sugar plantations In the South may have delivered for his own pond or creek a brood stock of sunfish or plebian catfish which will soon give a good account of themselves and provide food and fun for the entire family. PERSIANS PROTEST Against Delay by the Shah and Take Refuge at British Legation. Teheran, Persia, Sept. 8. The bazars here are closed again and people are once more flocking to the British legation In prolbst against the delay in signing the revised ordinance proposed by the clergy relative to the projected national assembly. The clergy rejected the ordinance drafted by the grand vizier and submitted one of their own, to which the shah has not yet assented. A crowded meeting of clergy and merchants severely criticized the procedure of the government. The clergy advised a few days patient waiting, but the merchants and ethers decided to close up their business and proceed to the British legation, where they declare they will remain until the shah signs the ordinance drawn up by the clergy and exiles the late grand vizier and others who are opposing reforms.
