INVITE FOOD FRAUDS

Women Prefer Eatables That Are Pleasing to the Eye. Encouragement to, Manufacturers to impair Nutritive Viands by Injecting Harmful Chemicals Is Denounced by Expert. New York.—The dangerous craving of women for food products that “look pretty on the table” and the consequent encouragement to manufacturers to impair the purity of nutritive viands by Injecting harmful chemicals into them to make them pleasant to thtKeyc -were denounced in an address at the pure food show in Madison Square garden by Alfred W. McCann, * food expert, in the course of his speech McCann described In detail many of the viands that are thus tampered with. McCann said in part: “Woman does kiot want foods in the natural order, as a result she asks for a pickle which will resist the teeth. The manufacturer at once gives it to her by ■? using an astringent, alum, which toughens the tissues and produces the effect desired. She wants- anaemic crackers and biscuits and bread and the manufacturer bleaches the creamy wheat with nitrogen peroxide and grinds out of it the vital elements upon which she and her family depend for their energy and strength. "If he were licensed and if it were a crime to debase or impoverish any foodstuffs he could not trespass all laws of decency by assistring her to create an artificial stand--ard, inimical in a large degree to the health of the nation. She asks for a brilliant green string bean or spinach or pea or plum, and her desire is gratified with sulphate of copper. She is perfectly satisfied to eat the white Swiss cheese, but she wants yellow butter and yellow American cheese, and the dairy immediately provides the artificial color scheme. She wants fancy desserts that scintillate under the electric bulb, and coal tar is at once split up and its dyes made ready lor the eye. “She wants a semi-transparent paleness for her mushrooms, apples, apricots. peaches and pears, and sulphureous acid is summoned to do the work.

A shert time ago an illustrated booklet advertising Baker City came to the home and fell into the hands* of Harry Wahl, the little grandson of tne veteran. “Oh. look!" he exclaimed as he turned »the pages, “here’s the picture of a man with a name like grandpa’s, all dressed up like a policeman ” "Yes. ron." replied the mother, •there are lots of men with the same came ” Well, didn’t grandpa have any Brothers o anything?” persisted the boy "Anyway, this man looks like grandpa."

Stockton, Cal.—That a large quantity of silverware and jewelry is still at the home of Ernest E. Smith is wholly due to the courage and resourcefulness of his fourteen-year-old daughter, Mildred. The other night Mildred was left alone to care for the smaller children. Hearing a noise, the girl thought it was one of her sisters and told her to wait a moment while she lighted the gas. As she stepped down, she was confronted by a man, who demanded money Mildred told him to wait a moment and went into the next room After a brief delay she called out loud • enouga so the burglar could hear.

“CHANTECLER” IN REAL LIFE Prairie Chickens on Oklahoma Ranch Mate With Pheasants—Seek Name for Hybrid Offspring. Muskogee, Okla.—ls hunters in the neighborhood of Pryor Creek, Okla., should find a flock of strange birds let them fail to pull the trigger, for the birds may be* Dr. F. B. Fite’s “mules,” a cross between the native prairie chicken and the English ring-necked pheasant. Dr. Fite, who lives in Muskogee, has a ranch near this place well stocked with game birds. The state game warden last year sent Dr. Fite some pheasant eggs, which were hatched. birds were purchased until the flock was increased to thirty. On the ranch is a flock of fifty native prairie chickens, which he has been carefully protecting. Last summer the pheasants and the prairie chickens mated, and from the cross was hatched a flock of young birds. “The young birds are not yet old enough for me to tell what they look like,” said Dr. Fite. “The pheasant is not so hardy as the prairie chicken, and the combination’ should make an ideal game bird. I am looking for a name for the new fowl.” < Terrier Mothers Lion Cub. Tacoma.

NEW NEWS of YESTERDAY I ||J=| By E. J. EDWARDS I —

Won Promotion By Assault

Storekeeper In New York Custom House Resented Abuse of General Grant, to the Delight of Collector Tom Murphy. Tom Murphy is at this day almost forgotten. But forty years ago he was one of the closest of the friends as President Grant, the intimate triend of General Chester A. Arthur, the collector of customs at the port of New York, and influential as a Republican leader. Murphy had gained a fortune as a manufacturer of hats. He was a lolly, /witty, very generous Irish-Amer-ican, quaint in some of his ways and characterized by an intense affection and admiration for General Grant. General Grant took a great liking for Murphy the first time he met him. He was fond of hearing Murphy talk; he was greatly amused with Murphy’s stories and keenly relished the wit of this good natured, warm-souled Irish-American. It was an act df pure friendship and nothing else which led President Grant to appoint Tom Murphy collector of customs at the port of New York. Murphy had, however, gained so many friends among the Republican leaders of that time, being especially friendly with Senator Conkling and General Arthur, that his appointment, although not recommended by any politician, was warmly approved by the leaders. At the time Murphy became collector of the port, the storekeeper in the New York custom house service was a man of the name of George Barker. He was as ardent an admirer of President Grant as was Murphy himself, although he was so quiet in hlsmanner, so reticent in his speech, that none outside of his family knew the extent of admiration and the depth of his affection for president Grant. One day Mr. Barker entered the office of one of the subordinates under Collector Murphy, the officer who was In immediately authority over that department of the custom house in which Mr. Barker had been placed. He said to his superior officer: “I have come, sir, to report myself for a grievous infraction of duty.” “What was it?” the officer asked. “Well, sir,” was the reply, “you know that Collector Murphy shortly after he took office caused every employe of the custohi house to be informed that he expected all of us to show the utmost courtesy and consideration to every citizen who had business in the custom house. He intimated to us that there was no infraction of the rules which would cause him greater displeasure or result in the exercise of greater discipline than a breach of courtesy or politeness. Well, sir, I have disobeyed that rule. I have come to report myself.” “How did you break this rule?” Mr. Barker was asked. “Well, it was in this way: One of the large Importers of New York came to my room on business and in the course of conversation he told me that General Grant was not a great general, but was a great butcher of men. I told him he’d have to take that statement back and apologize. He told me that he would see me damned

Story of Hamilton’s Widow.

How, Standing Before the Memorial Tablet in Trinity Church Unrecognized, She Heard a Tribute to Her Husband’s Greatness. Some seventy years ago some of those who held in high, esteem the services -and memory of Alexander Hamilton caused a suitable tablet to his memory to be set into one of the panels of Trinity church, New York city. The grave of Hamilton, and the modest tombstone which surmounted it, which even to this day draws many visitors to the worldfamous churchyard at the head of Wall street, had in the late forties displayed some signs of the ravages of time, and the admirers of Hamilton of that day reasoned that if a modest tablet to Hamilton’s memory were placed in a position upon the interior wall of Trinity, there it would remain, and his memory be preserved and kept green in the hearts of his countrymen, as long as the church building itself stood. And ever since the tablet has been in place a day never passes without its silent group before the memorial. One of the great admirers of Hamilton at the period of the erection of the tablet was Henry R. Mygatt, from about 1830 until 1870 one of the great lawyers of New York state, and. in fact, of the nation. He was associated either as joint counsel or as opposing counsel at one time or another with nearly all of the lawyers who in the mid-years of the past century maintained the high reputation which the bar of New York had gained in the days of Alexander Hamilton Mr. Mygatt was associated with United States Senator Daniel S. Dickinson of New York, who was so near'y nominated for vice-president upon the ticket with Lincoln in 1864, and who was one of the great orators of his day. . Mr. Mygatts home was up-state, in

first. Then I went around from behind the desk. 1 hit him twice, I knocked him down, and then 1 kicked him out of the office. I guess 1 hurt him badly. 1 suppose it will cost me my office.” ’ “Well, I shall have to take you to the collector,” Mr. Barker was informed, “for this is, Indeed, a serious breach of rules.” in a few moments Mr. Barker stood before the collector. He told that official that he had been remiss in his duties; that an importer had said something to him which made him lose his temper, and that he had knocked the importer down and kicked him out of his offioe. “Why, man, you have committed a crime!” Collector Murphy cried. “You have committed an assault. You are certain to be arrested and punished, and of course you cannot expect to stay in the custom house.” “Yes, that punishment is justified, 1 know,” Mr. Barker said, “I should not have lost my temper.” “What did the man say to you?” Collector Murphy asked. “He told me that General Grant was no general, that he was only a butcher. I couldn’t stand that and so 1 hit him.” ' Instantly Tom Murphy ran from behind his desk. He embraced Mr. Barker. He patted him upon the shoulder, and he said to him:

Incident of Election of 1876

Editor’s Act of Courtesy That May Have Helped To Defeat Tilden and Make Hayes the President. On the night of the presidential election of 1876 the facilities of the editorial office of the New York Times for receiving the election news were most courteously granted to me by the late John C. Reid, who was for many years managing editor of that newspaper. I was introduced to Mr. Reid through a letter written by the chairman of the Republican committee of the state of Connecticut. The chairman asked Mr. Reid if I would be permitted as a representative of the committee to send dispatches to the Republican headquarters at Hartford, giving to the committee in this way the latest reliable information of the returns of election. Mr. Reid put a desk at my disposal and gave orders that an extra set of proofs should be placed upon the desk and also that I should have access to any political dispatches that were received at the Times office. Up to a little past midnight the returns and dispatches all indicated the probable election of Samuel J. Tilden of New York. He had carried his own state, as well as Indiana and Connecticut, so that it was apparent that If his party had held the solid south, he would be elected. An hour later, and dispatches’ began to come into the Times office from all parts of the

Chenango county. Whenever business called him to New York city he always made it a point to find time to go to Trinity churchyard and stand for a moment or two before the tomb of Alexander Hamilton. But when he heard that a tablet had been erected in the church to the memory of his political idol, be made a special trip to the city to view the memorial. As he stood reading the inscription on the tablet, which recalls the services . of Hamilton to the nation, Mr. Mygatt observed that he was not alone'before the memorial. One of the persons standing near him was a woman, apparently of venerable yearsr who was with a companion. She looked earnestly at the tablet for a few moments, and then, turning to her companion, said: “It is too high, I think”—meaning by that that, in her opinion, the tablet had been placed at too great an elevation from the floor of the church. “Madam,” said Mr. Mygatt, earnestly, turning to her on the spur of the moment, “you will pardon me, I am sure, but I cannot refrain from saying to you that nothing can be too high or too remote for the memory of Alexander Hamilton.”. The little old woman lifted her veil and looked up into Mr. Mygatt’s face, her own suffused with evidences of intense pleasure. “I thank you, sir,” she said sweetly; “I have a right to thank you, for I am Alexander Hamilton’s widow.” It was, indeed, Elizabeth Schuyler, who had married Alexander Hamilton in 1780, who was widowed by his death in 1804. and who lived until after the mid-year mark of the nineteenth century.

“Barker, it would have been a crime if you had not resented an insult to General Grant. If you had let that man talk to yon about Grant in that way and had not kicked him out ot the office, 1 should have discharged you. lam proud of you, and the next time 1 see President Grant I am going to recommend you for promotion.” And Tom Murphy was as good as his word, for Barker got his promotion. (Copyright. 1911. by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Attack and Defense. Craig Biddle, at a dinner in Newport, defended cosmetics and attacked scandal-mongering in one neat epigram. An elderly matron was criticising certain young girts for using rouge and powder in what she deemed an immodest manner. ’ “But,” said Mr. Biddle, “those girls were educated in France, and over there, as you know, cosmetics are looked on as necessary—the same as we look on bread and meat.” “Nevertheless,” said the matron, “I have my suspicion about girls who paint like that.” , “Well, as for me,” the young man retorted, “I think it is- far better for a lady to redden her own cheeks than to blacken other ladies’ characters.” Rose Garden of World.

country reporting that the election of Tilden had been conceded by a ma jority of the Republican newspapers of the...country, and also at almost al! of the Republican state headquarters. With this flood of dispatches before them, the election of Tilden was being generally conceded in the Times office, and it has always been my impression that the paper began to prepare to announce the election of Tilden. For the purpose of sending a final dispatch to the Republican state committee of Connecticut, informing it of the triumph of the Democracy, I took the proof slips of the election returns and from them made two tables. One contained the list of states which had beyond a question given a majority vote to either Tilden or Hayes. The other table contained a list of the doubtful states. As I finished making the tables Mr. Reid passed through the room. I called his attention to my tables and asked him if he had heard from South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. He replied that nothing definite had been heard from those states. " “But,” I said, “if those three states have given a majority to Hayes, then he will be elected by one vote, according to these tables.” Mr. Reid grabbed up my tables, looked eagerly at them, and without saying a word walked away with my memoranda. 1 saw that he was suddenly laboring under much excitement. It interested me for a moment, then I prepared a dispatch to the Republican state committee of Connecticut, in which I stated that the returns to the New York Times showed that the election was in doubt and that if the three southern states of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana had gone Republican, then Mr. Hayes was elected by one vote. Some’ time after the telegram had been Written and sent, Mr. Reid again passed through the room. I saw that he was keyed up. to an intense pitch of excitement. Later. I learned the reason. Between the time I had showed him my memoranda and his return to the room, he had been to the Fifth Avenue hotel with my tables and showed them to William E. Chandler, then secretary of the Republican national committee. As a result of the conference that followed, Mr. Reid sent out the now historic telegram urging the Republican committees in the three states in question to claim everything, and a little later the Times was Issued with the headline that the Republicans had triumphed ant} Hayes was elected by one vote. That telegram and the action of William E. Chandler, as secretary of the Republican national committee, caused doubts instantly to be raised and the presidential contest to be be gun, a contest which was not determined until the electoral commission created by congress had decided that the Hayes electors had triumphed in the states of Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana, thereby electing Hayea by one vote.
