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.

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.

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.
