RICHMOND, IND. FAKE INSPECTOR ABROAD III LAND Richmond Merchants Are Warned Against His Game Which is a Good One. SELLS PUffE FOOD LABELS TELLS DEALERS THAT THEY MUST USE HIS STAMPS OR ELSE THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED WORK ED AT ANDERSON. Richmond merchants and especially retail grocers have been warned to keep on the lookout for a man representing himself to be a government pure food agent, who has been traveling over Indiana selling so called pure food labels which as he claims, have to be placed on all canned goods by the various grocers, in order to warrant their sale. lie also carried the threat of arrest in case the groc ers do not buy the pads of stamps and use them according to his instructions. So far as known, he has not made his appearance in this city. At Anderson, he easily gulled sev eral grocers and his scheme, ythere . was worked during the latter days of December, he using an entirely different "racket" than that which the Richmond merchants have been warned against. A dispatch from that city in regard to the mater, says: Many of the retail grocers of this city, have just learned that they have been victims of ti very smooth swindl in the days just preceeding the new year. It was Just about this time that a man appeared at many of t'9 outside groceries, explaining to the grocers that it was necessary for them- to take an invoice of their stocks just before the first of the year, when the pure food law went in effect, and that it would be necessary for them to tag all goods carried over new years. The man then produced a pad of stamps, which he explained to the grocers, were official and it would be necessary for them to purchase the pad at the extremely low price of fifty cents. The grocer almost invariably purchased the pad, which In reality was worth about ten cents, and later discovered that the pad man was not a government official, and that it was not at all necessary for them to tag all their canned goods. Some of the grocers who bought the pads had gone to the trouble of tagging everything In stock before they learned that it was . necessary, and that. the man selling them the tags was a fake, and that he had sold them the necessary articles at a profit of about 500 per cent. President Ralph Clark, of the Indilearned that i was not necessary, and stated last night that this scheme has been worked all over the outskirts of the city." Two grocers in West Eighth street had taken the trouble to hire extra men to stamp all their canned goods, which were carried over from last year. GLEANINGS. The cost to Russia of the war with "Japan amounted to $933,000,000. It costs $15,000 to take out the sixtyTour sets of papers that patent an Invention all over the world. In some parts of Italy the wholesale price of wine is little more than a cent of our money a quart. British soldiers who have no trade fire to be taught one during their term of service. A committee is now studying out a plan at Aldershot. A young woman caught smelling books in a London public library was naked why she did that. She said she lld It to see which book smelled of tooacco. If It did she knew it was a book men liked to read and therefore probably a good oue. IVrddlns: Hinjcs. Wedding rings were first used by Christians about the -year SCO. but the ancient Egyptians and Romans used them. The fashion of the plain gold rwedding ring is Saxon. Jap Odditis la EatingThe Japanese preserve their potatoes In sugar, pickle their plums and salt cherry blossoms to infuse as tea. They eat candy and other sweets at the same time with their soups, fish and vegetables. The more noise they make in the chewing of food the greater is the compliment to the host. .

Vegetables were on i no account to be cut with a steel or Iron knife, silver, gold or amber being de rigueur In all high class kitchens. The saucepans used were of silver or of gold, while tinned saucepans were used by .the poorer classes. C3 Sean the Eigaator T O I. X -A. . The Kind You Have Aiavs Bought

KAPP, HECKERT AND HOWARD, SPOKE MUSIC BY THE CHOIR WAS A HIGHLY PLEASING FEATURE. The services of the First English. Lutheran Church yesterday were devoted to the dedication of the new Sunday school and social rooms. The extensive program which had been prepared for the day was c;rried out in its entirety. The church has la bored hard to secure the new rooms and may be proud of their accomplishment, as they are perhaps the best arranged and most elegantly ap pointed in the city. The Sunday school in the morning listened to two special addresses, one by the Rev. J. W. Kapp, D. D., of Cin cinnati, Ohio and the other by Pres. C. G. Ileckert, D. D., of Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio. These were very interesting and in keeping with the order of the day. The dedicatory service proper was conducted by the pastor, the Rev. E. G. Howard, who in a few appropriate words dedicated the new rooms to a long period of usefulness and consecretation to the Master, One of the most pleasing features of the program was ' the anthem "Praise the Lord, O my Soul" sung by a chorus of fifty voices. It was beautifully rendered and elicited much commendation. ' In the evening the program was carried as announced, the sermon being given by Pres. C. C. Ileckert, D. D., of Wittenberg College. The anthem in the evening, "Rejoice in the Lord, O Ye Righteous" was also well rendered. The church will observe the week of prayer this week and oh next Sunday will have the communion service with the reception of members. This evening at 7: SO, a special meeting under the auspices of the men of the church will be held in connection with the dedicatory services. SHORT STORIES.
