Wait For Peary and Roosevelt
-
Ambitious London Hostesses Are All Anxious to Capture
This Pair of American "Lions" While in England.
(Special Cable from the International T, .......
(BY PHILLIP EVERETT.)
Loudon. March 12. Ambitious Lon-
ion hostesses, who are already hunt
ing for "lions" as attractions for their
eaions for the. Ixmdon season, are already making srreat preparations to
honor ex-President Roosevelt, who
will probably be the first "Hon" to
arrive here .while the second will be
Commodore Peary, and the third M.
Auguste Rodin, the greatest sculptor of the world, who is com i tit: over for
the exhibition of the International so
ciety of Sculptors, of which he is president.
It is honed that Roosevelt and
Peary will be here together, so that the ex-nresident may be oresent at the
famous explorer's lecture in Albert hall on May 4.
The first obiect of Mr. Roosevelt's
visit to England, it will be recalled, Is to deliver at Oxford the Romanes lecture. Like that which he is to irive
in Paris, the greater part of it is al
ready prepared. Its character, it is understood, will be almost entirely
academic and naturally it will contain little, if any, reference to recent ex
periences in Africa,
At the height of the London sea
son Mr. Roosevelt will be the c-iiest
of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, the American Ambassador. He is to meet the King
during his stay in London, and it is
not improbable that he will be seen at
many of the leading social events, including the Opera, Ascot and the horse show, in which so manv Ameri
cans are personally interested.
Although the season will make considerable demands upon him. vet Mr.
Roosevelt will by no means spend the
whole of his time in Eneland. in
London. For him the country has al
ways the greatest call, and it is not'!
improbable that after a week or so in town, with the promise of return, he will drive away by motor car into
those leafy byeways of England which
in tne months of May and June are
at the height pf their beauty
Oaculatory Camoaian
The osculatory camnaien. which the
American suffragists have been ad
vised to organize for the purpose of
converting members of the United States senate to their way of think
ing, is not likely to be adopted by
tneir sisters in England.
Cabine ministers, who have been
conjuring up blissful mental pictures
or tne time when the roung pleaders
of the woman's cause would offer
hisses for their support, are doomed
to disappointment. Miss Christabel Pnakhurst says so.
She flushed when I asked her what.
she thought of the susreestion yester
day. "I don't think anvthine of it"
she said indignantly. "I believe it
is simply an American 'bluff story,
got up to injure the cause.
Why should it injure the cause?
Simply because it's frivolous silly and unpractical." That's why."
Miss Pankhurst laughed when ask
ed if she thought members of the cab
inet would, in her opinion, be amend
able to osculatory persuasion.
I really don't know." she said
smillingly, "but you can take it from
me that they won't have the onnor-
t unity of proving whether they would
De or not."
The young suffragist leader miick-
ly cnanged the subject. "Speaking
seriously," she said, "you may like to
know that we are makiner arrange.
ments to fight the forthcoming by-
eiections ir they are contested.
Piccadilly Arcade.
The Piccadilly Arcade, which ia to
be opened on March 25, will no doubt
come to be regarded as one of the architectural sights of the Westend. Now that the scaffolding is being removed the passer-by is able to appreciate the elaborate character of the design.
The building, which, bv the war ia
planned by an American architect, has cost more than $3,000,000. It contains all the features of comfort and elegance to which our American visitors are used at home and Londoners flatter themselves by believing it surpasses any similar building in New York.
An interesting feature of the Arcade
is that it will have Its own artesian well, which will supply the whole building. : The water will be nnmned
up by machinery from a depth of 400 feet. The cost of constructing the
wen nas oeen $5,000, and it is thought
that the arrangements will prove very
economical.
Sir Hiram Maxim.
Sir Hiram Maxinu who was the nio-

which has been placed between the front wheels and the body of the machine. Owing to the difficulty of getting a course free from obstacles in the neighborhood of the works of Messrs.
Vickers, Sons and Maxim, at Crayford, in Kent, where the machine has been constructed, Sir Hiram has built a track upon which the aeroplane can be tested in every possible way. In the center of the ground around which is the track of 2,200 feet in circumference, a steel mast is erected. Wires running from the mast will be attached to the aeroplane, which will be able to move with freedom within the radius they give. In this way as Sir Hiram told me last night, the risks which are inevitably taken by those who go up into the air in ships will be reduced to a minimum, and learning to fly will be almost as safe as learning to drive a motor-car. A public demonstration of the new aeroplane will take place as soon as
tne weather is favorable.
PURE FOOD MILLS GBIIjyiG GRIST Forty Cases Against Impure, Mislabeled Articles Are Tried. 6
MANY VARIETIES IN LIST
DECISION IS OBTAINED IN ONE
ACTION THAT CUSTARD CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT EGGSBAD HORSE FEED.
Washington, March 12. Uncle Sam's pure food department is getting busier every day. During the last month it has issued reports on forty cases a record breaking number for so short a period. These discoveries of impure, mislabeled foods cover a long list of things to eat and drink. In each case before Uncle Sam issues such a report the case is fought out in court, and not nntn
the court has sustained the government's charges does Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture issue
omciai publication on the matter. The court proceedings
that they make the food and not tha
manufacturer the defendant. So the
records show: "United States of AniPri.
ca vvs Thirty-Five Cases of Pe-rw
Or maybe the defendant is "Ten Boxes
or mack Pepper." j But in each case strange things come i to light. For instance, Uncle Sam has decided that you cannot make custard without eggs. A thriftv
might have told him differently, but;
tne courts nave sustained Uncle Sam. ! In the case of "Two HunrirpH '
Eighty Packages of Instantaneous J Custard Preparation" hauled in hv the
vigilant agents an analysis showed that the product consisted mainiv of i
cornstarch, but contained no eggs MLUST USE EGGS IN CUSTARD The owners of the product, according to the statement of the department, made the claim at the hearing that cusard could be prepared wihout the use of eggs, but the department held and was prepared to prove that custard cannot
properly be prepared without the use of eggs. Then the preparation pleaded guilty. There are. hard times ahead tor the boarding-house owner. Then came along a car load of cornmeal. It was labeled "Fresh Ground Cornmeal, Best Water Ground Style." This label, declared the department, "was misleading, in this, that it induced the belief that said meal was ground in a water mill on millstones, when in truth and in fact it was ground by the steam roller process, steam power being used." As the steam roller is sa. i
cred only In politics, the owner was fined $3. Here is a suit of "The United States
or America versus Two Hundred Sacks of Horse Feed." The horse feed trot
the worst of it, because analysis show
ed that It contained 15 per cent of rice hulls, and the court ordered it destroyed as dangerous for horses. Then
came four cases of a Chicago "pneumona'cure," guaranteed to be "entirelv
different from any other remedy, con
taining new principles never before applied." The government could not find anything new about it and the company that owned it paid a $200
tine. Next the departme dug up 116 sacks
or cotton seed feed meal that was made up of 50 per cent of hulls. But this
got off easier than the horse feed, the
owner merely paying a $230 fine and changing the label.
OWNER OF MACARONI FINED
Then came some macaroni which was branded to indicate Italian ori
gin. The government proved that it came from Long Island, instead of It
aly, and taxed the owner of the 208
cases $18.02 for the deception.
ine department seems to have a lot of trouble with flavoring extracts, for there are a lot of cases asrainst "vanil
la extract," "almond extract," "strawberry extract" and others in which the trouble seems to be that they contain exerything except the essence of the particular fruit with which they are labeled.
