TRIBUTE PAID TODAY TO THE SOLDIER DEAD

Graves of Wayne County's Sons Who Fought to Preserve the Union Were Decorated Beautifully. (Continued from Page One.) ble may preserve their record, engtavcd brass may proclaim their worth, but the flower decked nod of their America with the dew drops upon It Is the proudest mausoleum that a king might have. Their life work Is their eulogy. We need not try to show their great work but It were better for us to show our gratitude. We should think not only of the dead but of the living, and thou whose sex forbade them to offer their Uvea but who gave instead their sympathy and their happiness. This country Is their monument and Its progress their epitaph." Memories recalled by the events of the war, aucb as the receipt of tho news of the firing on Sumter, the camp, the conflict, the leaving of loved ones and the more harrowing scenes, were dwelt upon shortly. It was on the results of the war that emphasis waa laid by the speaker. Though the veterana hated war and loved peace, Mr. Jordan said they were all proud on their return that they had performed their patriotic duties and had achieved the cause the freedom of a race for which they fought. The Confederatao soldier was declared a generous foe to settle with. The result to him baa been that he baa learned the school teacher is greater than the slave driver, and the school bouse more pro! table than the auction block. South Is Better Off. They have since found that the increased cotton output, as a result of free labor and the introduction of the loom, has made them as a whole richer, and today they welcome instead of discourage the northern immigrant and frown upon the foreign immigrant. The south of slavery and secession la dead, but the south of freedom and unity is alive, he said. The kneading together of the interests of the south and north baa been .accomplished by the school house, business, and the Spanish-American war, the speaker pointed out. Americana are a peace loving people. The apeaker declared that those who had engaged in war had taught their children the value of peace, and at least did not wish to see their children pass through auch a terrible ordeal. The Civil War was declared to be a most unusual one, in that it- was not for the purpose of conquest, but to preserve a union. Tribute to .the unknown soldier dead waa paid. A large monument had been erected in the center of the hall which waa decorated with flags and Bowers in honor of these heroes. The nobel work of the Sons of Veterans in perpetuating memories of the Civil War veterana and in preserving a most InUmate spirit of patriotism was also touched upon. In conclusion the meaning of the American emblem and what It has stood for. and what it will Itand for was clearly brought out. ROOSEVELT SPEAKER.. Newark, N. J., May 30.

RELIEF FOR THE LAUNDRESS. Under old-fashioned methods laun dry work was a severe . burden. Rub, rub, rub and scrub, scrub, scrub on a wash-board till the back ached, the limbs were weary and the hands be came red and rough. There is no need of going through this ordeal today, because Hewitt's Easy Task soap lightens this work fully one-half and makes it much less disagreeable. Just buy two cakes for ten cents, and if the first is not satisfactory return the other and get jour full money back. First English Horse Races. Chester possesses plausible claims to be the birthplace of the British turf. It was one William Lester, who about 1600. "being mayor of Chester, did cause three silver bells to be made of good value to be run for upon the Itoode Dee." This seems the earliest definite establishment of a borse race. From the nature of the prize was derived the proverb -To bear the bell,' though the bells in this case existed long before the 'ring.' Our ancestors being more easily satisfied In the matter of amusement than tbeir degenerate descendants, there was apparently only one contest. The "Chester cup." which has been substituted for tbe "best bell." Is now worth 2X00. to say nothing of Cheshire cheeses for the three placed horses. Westminster Gazette. Had a Mere Trifle.

DEMOCRATS BREAK

STA POWER And Anti-Lorimer Men Have Their Way in Conducting a Senate Probe. Washington. May 30. A virtual agreement to refer the Lorimer case to the senate committee on Privileges and Elections, with the understanding that that committee shal intrust the proposed Inquiry to a bipartisan and bi-Lorimer' subcommittee of eight. was effected in the senate Monday by a vote of 14 to 11. The agreement was the result of a conference of Democratic senators, at which the previous decision to sup port the Martin resolution waa re scinded, and all Democratic senators were released from all caucus obligations. The bi-oartisan idea was suggested by Senator Stone, and. while no vote was taken it was generally accepted as a satisfactorv compromise. In general terms it meets tne de mand of the Democrats. Their Bug' eestion Is for the selection of a sub committee to be composed of two Re publican members who voted for Lorl mer in the last senate ,and two who did not, and two Democrats who voted for him and two who did not, with the understanding that in case of a tie vote on the admission of testimony it will be admitted. Help the Antl-Lorimers The caucus release of Democrats from the obligation to vote for the Martin resolution will augment the strength favorable to the LaFollette provision by about a dozen Democrat ic votes. It is understood the subcommitte on investigations will consist of Senators Dillingham and Gamble, Kenublicans. and Fletcher and John stone, Democrats, pro-Lorimer, and of Senators Clapp and Kenyon, KepuDU cans, and Kern and Lea. Democrats, anti-Lorimer. The final disposition of this matter by the senate was postpon ed until the next meeting on Ihurs day. , The senate spent five hours discuss Ing the question of reference without mentining this program. In this de bate Senator Martin advocated action bv the regular committee, and Sena tors Cummins. Poindexter. Hitchcock, Newlands and Davis by a special com mittee. Advocating a re-inquiry, benator Jeff Davis of Arkansas, so ex pressed himself as to call down two rebukes from Senator Heyburn, wlio occupied the chair. He admitted his prejudice against Mr. Lorimer, saying "a whole 'passel' of testimony would be necessary to change his attitude." and declared. "I'm here to shell down the corn." ' He contended that Mr. Lorimer knew his election was brought about as a re suit of bribery. Jeff Davis Called Down. "If he didn't know he is the biggest ass that ever disgraced the country he is the biggest ass or the biggest knave that ever came into the senate. A man would have been a fool not to have known what was going on." Here the gavel descended, and the Arkansas senator was informed he had violated the rules regardingemf had violated the rules regulating reference to other senators. Mr. Davis recalled his words, acknowledging that they had been un wisely chosen. But a little later, af ter saying that an inquiry was to be had. whatever the form of the resolution adopted, he exclaimed: "Poor old Lorimer; he has been garroted his ship has been scuttled; he's gone." The rule was again invoked. "Let's take another term," said the Arkansas senator. "Poor Lorimer has been marooned. He's out on an island and the ship has passed on." Expressing an intention to vote with the insurgents of this proposition, he said to his Democratic colleagues: "I do't like to leave you fellows and go with the crowd over there, but I am afraid I'll have to do it." KEEPING HIS RECORDS. Unusual Business Methods of a Merchant In Western Canada. In tbe Bookkeeper U recorded a case wblcb clearly comes under tbe head of "unusual business methods." In a thickly settled prairie district In west era Canada, not far from Moose Jaw. a few Canadians bad opened up a coal mine, tbevproduct of which tbey sold to tbe surrounding farmers. Settlers would come In wagons and sleighs and load their own winter's fuel, which cost them from $1 to $2 a ton. according to the run. It was early winter when 1 first made tbe acquaintance of this mine and its remarkable "superintendent." and my first reception from this Individual was a fierce yell on bis part, with tbe frantic brandishing of a long stick aod tbe words: "What tbe devil are you doing? Can't you see? Are you stone blind?" I was literally walking through his books! Since morning and this was at 3 o'clock In the afternoon he bad been keeping a record of outgoing sleighs and wagons of coal In tbe snow About twenty farmers were drawing that day. With bis stick be bad written tbe Initials of each In a clean spot in the snow and witb tbat same stick bad registered the number of tons they bad taken away. I bad spoiled onehalf of bis "books. and .it was an hour before be became at all affable I was still more astonished when I en tered . the "nperintendent's" little board office.

For the Children

Demonstration of the Pulling Power ef a Small Magnet. Replying to the question from one of Its readers, "Why does a magnet pull?" tbe editor of St Nicholas says: No one knows just why or bow a magnet pulls. As with electricity, we know only the resuls of tbe power and some methods of its use. However, your inquiry suggested the question of bow much a small magnet can pulL To test this I tied the armature to tbe "platform" of an ordinary weighing scalwfor family use. Th?n I tied a strong7 cord to the loop Of the magnet, put tbe cord through a book screwed to tbe table and pulled. When I was not trying to take a photograph I could pull it down to five and three-quarter pounds, and there it broke away. For an exposure of ten seconds I could not bold it steadily enough at a point much beyond tbat shown in the accompanying lllustra tlon. Try It You will be surprised to eee bow many pounds merely a little toy magnet cab pull. If one had a series of weights each not much over five pounds, what a grand total the little "horseshoe" could lift in a series of repeated efforts, each effort being at its limit of power! A Pueblo Dance. Tbe fieeka or arrow dance is picturesque as practiced by the Pueblo In dians in Arizona. One of the braves is led before his friends, who are drawn up in two ranks. Here be is placed on one knee, bow and arrow in his hand. when tbe Mallnchi. a handsomely at tired young girl, commences tbe dance. From her right wrist bangs the skin of a silver gray fox, and bells tbat Jan gle Wltb every motion are fastened to the end of her embroidered scarf. At first the maiden dances along the line In front, by ber movements describing the warpath. Slowly, steadily, she pursues; then suddenly her step quickens as she comes in sight of here enemy. The brave follows ber wltb his eye and by the motion of his bead implies tbat she is right. She dances faster and faster, then suddenly seizes the arrow from blm and by frantic gestures makes it plain that the fight has begun in earnest She points wltb the arrow, shows bow it wings its course, bow the scalp was taken 'and her tribe victorious. As sbe concludes her dance she returns the arrow to tbe brave. Firearms are discharged, and the whole party wends its way to the public square to make room for other parties, who keep up the dance until dark. Chicago News. Riddlemeree.

A WARNING ISSUED

Oil US SALADS State Board of Health Says They Are Mighty Bad Things to Eat. The housewife who is preparing to take a lunch on a picnic trip' to the park or to the woods, and even the housewife who is preparing to serve cold meals to avoid work in the kitch en on the holiday, would do well to think twice before setting before her guests some of the salads that have come to be looked on as the central features of cold luncheons The state board of health, without wishing to pose as a kill-joy, has through H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commisioner sounded a warning against salads that contain certain in gredients, when not properly handled. The warning was made for hot weather generally, when the refrigerator becomes the most important piece of furniture on the premises. Ptomaine poisoning is the thing Mr. Barnard seeks to avert. For many years, when anybody became afflicted with ptomaine poisoning,' the average person immediately jumped to the conclusion that the trouble was caused by something that came from the tin in which the food was contained- Ac cording to Mr. Barnard the assumption is wrong. When asked for a definition of ptomaine Mr. Barnard turned to A. Wynter Blythe's treatise on "Poisons Their Effect and Detec tion," and pointed out the following: What Ptomaine Really Is. A ptomaie may be considered as a basic chemical substance deriver from the action of bacteria on nitrogenous substances. If this definition is accepted, a ptomaine is not necessarily found in dead animal tissue; it may be produced by the living, and, in all cases, it is the product of bacterial life. A ptomaine is not necessarily poison ous; many are Known wmcn are, in moderate doses, quite innocuous." "The danger from ptomaine poisoning in the average household," said Mr. Barnard, "arises when the refrigerator is not kept in a sanitary condition, when the housewife believes it to be in the pink of condition. , To be kept sanitary, the refrigerator in hot weather especially, should be thoroughly cleaned often, the oftener the better. Then it should be thoroughly ventilated all the time. Many persons to save ice, keep their refrigerators closed all the time, excluding fresh air and light. Bacteria thrive in darkness, and the darkness of the closed refrigerator is their best feeding ground. The cold of the refrigerator doesn't harm the bacteria that cause ptomaine poisoning, as they can do their work in a temperature as low as freezing, and no refrigerator is kept at that temperature. No Ptomaines in Starchy Foods. "It is In the foods that contain proteids that the housewife must be on her guard against ptomaines. In the beginning, if she is careful about her buying at the grocery store, she need not fear purchasing goods in which ptomaines have been formed. When the grocer offers her a can of food that is swelled in any way, it should be rejected. It is bad. With properly selected stuff from the grocery, the housewife need not fear ptomaines, if she handles the material properly, and if she does not try to make.it go too far. "Ptomaines are most likely to be formed in meats, beans, milk, peas, fish, meat salads, in short, in any food that contains proteids; There need be no fear where sugar foods, such as fruits, or starchy foods, such as po tatoes, are used. Ptomaines will not form in them, whatever belief has existed in the lay mind to the contrary. Beware of Salmon Salad. "Salmon salad, one of the most com mon of the salads, should be handled with extreme care. It should be used in a very short time after it is prepared, and what is left should be fed to the cat. Never, under any circum stances, should It be kept over until next day and then eaten. It is always likely to contain ptomaines the second day. Fish is a food that is extremely susceptible to ptomaines, and it should V

be selected, prepared and used with extreme care, especially in hot weather. If the bacteria that form the ptomaines gain access to proteid foods, they will, in a very short time, render it unfit for use. "A thing the housewife should remember is that the bacteria always come from an outside source, and in

almost all instances they enter the food after delivery to a retailer, or after it is delivered to the housewife by the grocer. "They are unlikely to occur where cleanliness in the 6tore or kitchen and in the refrigerator is insisted on. Fruit Salad and Alcohol "In addition to salmon salad, any meat salad is dangerous unless It is well protected, if it is to set several hours before being eaten. There is no danger from ptomaines in fruit salad, or in the ordinary vegetable salad, provided the ingredients are thoroughly cleaned before being made up. . "Fruit salads sour if left standing where bacteria can get to them. I recall , having some fruit salad at a church supper some time ago, where the salad had been made up several hours before. It had been in the pn cess of fermentation for some time, and when served, had a considerable percentage of alcohol in It, but no pto maines, because there, were no proteid ingredients. When I told some of the good women of the church they were serving a food that was rich In alco hol, in fact, richer than ordinary beer. they were jpuch shocked. "The housewife who prepares fruit 6alad and permits , it to stand where bacteria can get to it, is likely soon to be serving a product that is some what intoxicating. These bacteria, too, work in temperature that the average person would think would pre vent their operations. How to Judge Canned Goods. "The housewife, however, should not fear canned goods, because of ptomaines, merely because they are canned goods. Examine the can be fore opening. If it is not swollen or punctured the chances are about ten thousand to one that the content is good. If it is swollen or punctured it should be fired back to the grocer at once. Sanitary canning, such as now prevails in most of the canning factories, is the greatest, foe extant of the ptomaine poisoning. In such goods, when ptomaines are found they are the result of bad handling after opening. "Souring of milk should not be confused with the formation of ptomaines. Milk souring is the result of bac terial action, but it is a healthy ac tion. Milk is' all the better from a physiolgical standpoint, for having soured, although less pleasant, perhaps to the taste." Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board, is pronounced in con demning salads that contain proteid substances when they are left stand ing for some time in an icebox. "No salad, of whatever made, when it has been standing for thirty-six hours, should be eaten," declared Dr. Hurty. AN INSPECTION OF NEW LOCAL FACTORY Officials of the Richmond Underwear company on Tuesday announced that the building on North Tenth and D streets would be thrown open to inspection Thursday evening between 7 and 9 o'clock. .That department of the factory in which the knitting machines are located, for the most part on the third floor, will be in operation under direction of the expert operators. Every one is Invited to attend and it is likely that the crowd will be very large as much admiration has been expressed of the building by those who only have had the opportunity of seeing it from the outside. There will be no special pro? gram. The structure is one of the most attractively fitted and well lighted of any in the city and Its exterior appearance by many is compared favorably with some of the public school buildings. The force now employed is about 75 but will be increased as soon as the dull season is over. Tbe record attendance for any cricket match is ' 95,000, the number present at the England vs. Australia test match of March. 1895.

PHYSICIANS f HID FEWJEW FEVERS

Many Ailments Called Ty phoid, Are, in Many Cases, Something Else. New York, May 30. The discovery has been made recently by modem means of diagnosis that the term typhoid fever has been erroneously ap plied to a group ot maladies which could not be differentiated by the old er methods of studying disease. There Is a true typhoid fever with but slightly varying symptoms. . In addition fev ers of entirely different origin have been and still are called by the. same name. The attention of physicians has just been called to the necessity of revising medical nomenclature and recog nlzing the distinction between sever al different ailments by the editors of : various medical publications. More than a year ago Dr. Nathan E. Brill of this city, described a fever in a report published in the American Jour. -nal of the Medical Sciences, which U now recognized generally as Brill's disease. No organism has been discovered which could account for a bacterial origin of this ailment. , Mild Form of Typhus. Two months ago the editor of the Medical Record expressed the opinion tbat Brill's disease and "Manchurian typhoid" probably were the same ailment. Last month. Dr. Brill replied to the editor and gave reasons for believing that the two diseases are entirely distinct. At the same time the s editor of American Medicine declared that there was ground for suspicion that Brill's disease is a mild typhus. If the latter view is correct New York City has harbored at least 221 patients suffering from a mild form of typhus fever and the public never beard a word about it and was none the worse) on account ui ignorance ot uio uaip . ter. Here are some of the views expressed by parties interested in this med-' leal controversy concerning these newly fangled recognized fevers. Among the large number of cases ot (vnKnU favar " cava ttA mAitnr. tkt i K A Medical Record, "treated by the Russian army surgeons, there were many which they were at first inclined to classify with typhus fever. Later investigation showed that : this resem Diance was ony a superiiciai one, sua that the disease belonged to' an entirely different group. In fact,' typhus, although it occasionally occure In the far east, is an extremely rare disease, . while typhoid Is very common. Manchuria Typhoid. - ffUa .vt.nln iurlana with Hla disease during the entire period of the Russo-Japanese war, an . experience that involved 21,849 cases of typhoid fever, brought out the very remarkable fact that fully one-third of these belonged to the group of diseases simulating typhoid fever. Out of this group many varied affections closely related to typhoid fever, there was extracted a type having distinct peculiarities, tnd to which the name 'Manchurian typhoid' has been given. Of this type, seventy cases were observed, all presenting an identical clinical picture, with features that may be ; sharply differentiated from those of typhoid fever. Thla picture Is very similar to that recently delineated by Brill In his study of 221 cases in New York city." t Require . Close Study In response to this editorial opinion, Dr. Brill gives his view of the differential diagnosis of the diseases, and says: "It seems to me that there are so many points of difference between these affections that even clinically they would not be considered tbe same." "Fevers resembling typhoid are receiving much study, not that they are fata! of themselves, but because they are causing a great deal of suffering and possibly loss of resistance to other infections or even permanent injury' to health. The term typhoid formerly included many other Infections which are now mostly differentiated by modern means of diagnosis, but there are still many conditions which are, possibly unknown Infections to clear up."
