jaemoratlre of the Event
WASHINGTON, May 19. The statue of
General Grant, presented by the G. A. R.
to the Nation, was unveiled In the great
rotunda of the Capitol today, and elabor
ate ceremonies commemorative of the
event -were held In the Hall of Represent
atives In the presence of a vast concourse
of people, -who Included the4 -widow,
daughter and descendants of the hero of
Appomattox, hundreds of his comrades
In arms, the officers and committee of the
G. A. R., and many men distinguished In
military, political and social circles.
The statue of the pre-eminent chief of
the Union forces in the Civil War repre
sents the contributions of thousands of his
comrades of the G. A. R., none of whom
was allowed to -subscribe more than 15
cents, and 1? the result of a movement
started shortly after General Grant's
death at McGregor, In July, 1893. It 1b the
work of Franklin Simmons, an Ameri
can sculptor.
Of marble, of heroic size. It stands. on a
granlte pedestal emblazoned with a-bronze
seal of the G. A. R., representing tho grim
old hero In the full uniform of a General
equipped for the field with top boots and
gauntlets, his cloak over his left arm and
his right hand resting on the hilt of, his
sword. The counterfeits of statesman,
soldiers and pioneers In marble and
bronze adorn the old House of Represent
atives chamber of the Capitol, now Statu
ary Hall, but these are gifts of the Indi
vidual states. Grant's statue was un
veiled In the rotunda, as befitted the
statue of one whose valiant service was
for the whole Nation. There It will re
main with the statues of Jefferson, Ham
ilton and Lincoln, which are also In the
rotunda, an example and an inspiration to
futuro generations. The hero of Appo
mattox stands near the western entrance,
flanked on either side by the famous
paintings of tho "Surrender of Cornwal
11a" and the "Surrender of Burgoyne."
Unveiling: of the Statue.
The unveiling took place shortly before
noon, In the presence of Mrs. Grant, Mrs.
Sartorls, Miss Sartorls, the officers of tho
G. A. R., Speaker Henderson and Senator
Frye, President pro tem. of the Senate.
Tho fact of the unveiling was kept secret,
and few people witnessed It. There were
no ceremonies. Miss Sartorls, attired In
white, pulled the lanyard that uncovered
the statue. Mrs. Grant Inspected it care
fully and smiled her approval The party
then repaired to the hall of 'the House,
where the ceremonies occurred.
The ceremonies in the House were pro
foundly Impressive. They consisted of ad
dresses by McCleary, Grosvenor, Richard
son, Warner, LInney, Gardner, Brosius
and Dolllver.
The gallery opposite tho Speaker's ros
trum had been reserved for the'members
of tho G. A. R,, and was crowded with
grizzled veterans who came to pay tribute
to the memory of their loved comrade.
In the area in front of the Speaker's desk
sat members of the Grand Army and the
committee appointed by the Grand Army
encampment at Philadelphia, who had
been granted the privilege of the floor for
the affair by a special resolution In the
House. In the gallery reserved for Mrs.
Grant and her family were Mrs. Grant,
her daughter. Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartorls;
Lieutenant Sartorls, Miss Sartorls, and
Miss Grant, a daughter of Colonel Fred
at 12 o'clock. Speaker Hender
son's gavel fell. After an Impressive
prayer by the blind chaplain, the commit
tee of the G. A. R., among whom were
Commander-in-Chief Albert D, Shaw, Gen
eral S. S. Burdette, General R. B. Heath,
Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Vet
erans Irvln Bobbins and Chaplain-In-Chlef
J. E. Grim, were ushered Into the
House. After the Speaker had announced
the order of tho day, McCleary, chairman
of tho committee on library, sent to the
clerk's desk and had read, a letter ad-'
dreaded to the Speaker presenting the
statue. McCleary then offered the follow
ing resolution:
"Resolved by the House, the Senate con
curring. That the thanks of Congress bo
given to the Grand Army for the statue
of General U. S. Grant.
"Resolved, That the statue be accepted
and placed in the Capitol, and that a copy
of these resolutions, signed by the presid
ing officers of the Houso of Representa
.rivea and the Senate, be forwarded to the
chairman of the committee of the G. A.
R. on the Grant memorial."
Eulogies in the House.
The eloquent eulogies of General Grant
which followed were listened to attentive
ly, and several times wrung' round after
round of applause from the floor and gal
leries. McCleary said:
"In the Spring of 1SC3 more men moved
obedient to the command of General Grant
than were commanded by Napoleon In all
his campaigns from the beginning of his
meteoric career on the plains of Italy and
before the pyramids of Egypt until his
sun set at "Waterloo, and the area oj
Grant's operations exceeded the area cov
ered by Napoleon from the vine-clad hlllb
of France to the snow steppes of Russia.
"But to appreciate the real dignity and
worth of General Grant's services to man
kind they must ba considered In the light
of universal history. His genius was ex
ercised to save to the world its most sec
ular possession. I measure my words when
I say the most valuable secular posses
sion of the world today Is the union of
the American States. Hundreds of lives
and hundreds of millions of treasure "have
been expended to preserve It. but In Its
potency for good to the world it Is worth
Infinitely more than it has cost."
McCleary closed by saying:
"Every man who had any part, how
ever humble, in the preservation of the
"Union Is entitled to the gratitude of the
world. Hence the propriety of enshrin
ing within this Capftol, the temple of the
great pacific principle of representation,
the building In which the representatives
of the commonwealths meet, a statue of
the great commander, through whose'gen
lus the Union was preserved. The statue,
worthy alike of the genius which it com
memorates and the brave men whose
cheerful contributions produced It, will
bo accepted, and it will bo preserved In
hpnor through the coming centuries."
Congressman Warner, who served under
General Grant during tho Civil War, clos
ing n relew of Grant's record, said:
"Within five years he was In command
of all the armies of the United States,
the army under his Immediate command
had moved by the left flank down through
tho wilderness, General Lee had tendered
htm his sword and-urrendered to him the
gallant army of Northern Virginia and
our country was saved and united forever.
Within eight years he was President of
the United States, and but a short time
thereafter all tho potentates of the world
felt hortoTed in standing uncovered before
the modest, unassuming American, the
former wbodchopper and country clerk.
Today his statue honors the Capitol of
the greatest Nation on earth."
General Groin enor'n Speech.
General Grosvenor said in part:
"Thirty-five years have passed over our
heads since Grant achieved the culmina
tion of his great fame as a soldier. Dur
ing that time there have been wars in the
world. During that time there nave been
great changes in military tactics. In mil
itary organization, in military supplies and
munitions and all that appertains to the
military arm of the Government, but t
venture to say that nmong those who
have come and gone, among those who
have led. armies in Egypt, In Germany, In
France, there has been no man who has
any pretense of competition with Grant
as a sojdler. He has been criticised some,
what by one of the great Generals of
Europe, great In the amount of pay that
ho draws, great in the high rank that he
holds, great in the splendid decorations
that he has, but I ask my countrymen
here today, when we are considering some
thing of Grant 'in the lisht of So years,
whether we may not, with a pride that Is
enjoyable, contrast the career of Grant
and all his mistakes, if he ever made any
compare them, with the most critical
eye, with the best thing that has been
done by the British army in its great
campaign against the Boers, and tell me
whether Grant does not shine like a me
teor. I think the strategy of Grant that
centered In the Wilderness and In front
of Richmond the magnificent organization
of the Army of the Potomac, will live as
an exemplar of military strategy and per
fection long after Wolseley, his critic,
long after Wolseley, the man who had
deprecated him: long after Wolseley, the
hero of Tel-El-Keblr In Egypt, and tho
planner of the strategy of South Africa
will have been relegated to his proper
position Among the great Generals of the
world." (Applause.)
An Ex-Confederate's Tribute.
Richardson, the minority leader, who
fought in the Confederate army against
Grant, said, in part:
"The most extravagant and fulsome eu
logy that' can possibly be bestowed by
human lips upon General Grant does not
In the slightest degree derogate from the
pure and matchless fame of the hero and
idol of those who fought against him, and
of all true Confederates In that bloody
period during which his marvelous char
acter was developed, and which gave him
the opportunity to win everlasting renown.
But for the indomitable courage and valor
of the Confederate soldier there would
have been no opportunity for his develop
ment and for the proof of his giant
strength. As an ex-Confeaerate soldier, I
revere his memory and demand and have
a just right to demand to share In the
honQr and glory which cluster llkejeweled
diadems around his name, and render him
conspicuous above bis contemporaries as
an American soldier and citizen. Confea
erates can and do honor him, because in
battle he was a foeman worthy of their
steel.' '
Dolllver concluded his eloquent tribute
as follows:
"I count it 'also -a part of General
Grant's achievements that he gave his
name and the Influence of- his Administra
tion to the most beneficent treaty that
ever was drawn between two nations tho
treaty of Washington, which was followed
by the Geneva award, settling a long
standing difference, more than once
threatening war between the two nations
of the world that ought to stand side by
side for the freedbm-and progress of man
kind. It was an absolute confidence In tho
Judgment and patriotism of the American
peopletthat when the treaty of Santo Do
mingo went down In the Senate, in a
noise of vituperation in which even tho
President did not escape, to turn away
from the clamor of the hour and in the
special message appeal from that decision
to the American people 'whose judgment.'
he said, 'so seldom errs, and against whosa
will I-have no policy to enforce.' In the
midst of our new National responsibilities,
I think American statesmen could gather
a great deal of strength and encourase
ment by going over again the messages,
papers, letters and biography of Ulysses
S. Grant."
At 3 o'clock, as a further mark of re
spect to the widow of General Grant, his
daughter and grandchildren and the Grand
Army if the Republic, the House ad
journed. COMMANDER TODD RELIEVED
Ocean and Lake Survey Work Token
From the Navy.
NEW YORK. May 19, A special to the
Herald from Washington eays:
. Secretary Long has relieved Com
mander C. C. Todd from duty
as Hyprogrepher of the Navy,
arid placed him under suspension. This
action is the direct result of efforts of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, supported by
Mr. Cannon and other Representatives, to
take the, work of ocean and lake surveys
from the Navy. It Is confidentially ex
pected by Commander Todd and his
friends that when the facts receive fur
ther consideration he will be restored to
duty and proper steps taken to relieve his
record of the stigma now resting upon It
Commander Todd has been zealously la
boring to keep the survey work under the
Navy, because he believes with his broth
er officers that the Navy and tho mer
chant marine can obtain better charts and
be more efficiently served than if the
Coast and Geodetic Survey had the work
In charge. Arguments advanced by the
Navy undoubtedly had much to do with
the action of the Senate in restoring the
provision appropriating $100,000 for carrying-on
the surveys under the Navy. This
action was extremely distasteful to the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. Representa
tive Cannon wrote to Secretary Long ask
ing him if the Hydrographer had sent any
letters to, "individuals, corporations,
boards of tra3e or chambers of com
merce," in relation to the action of the
House In connection with the ocean and
lake surveys. Commander Todd responding
that he had not
Then Mr. -Cannon asked for a copy of a
letter sent the Hydrographlc office. Com
mander Todd sent the communication, but
it was shown to be addressed to the
"Branch Hydrographlc Office, New York,"
"Branch Hydrographlc Office, Chicago,"
and so on, and Commander Todd's friends
Insist thatMe was entirely correct In stat
ing that no letters had been sent to "In
dividuals, corporations, boards of trade
or chambers of commerce."
Secretary Long decided to relieve Com
mander Todd,as, hydrographer pending a
thorough consideration of the matter.
SALT LAKE TO LOS ANGELES
Salt Lake and Southern Jointly In
terested in New Line.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 19. The Exam
ner says:
C. P. Huntington, president of the South
ern Pacific Company, in speaking about
the proposed railroad from Salt Lake to
Los .Angeles, said:
"Yes, it is true the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe are jointly Interested in a
new route between Salt Lake and Los
Angeles. It will require the building of
400 miles of new road from Salt Lake
southwest to a point on the Santa Fe, in
the Mojave Desert- Goff, a station just
west of the Needles, will probably be the
connecting point- I have had surveys
made from Salt Lake to four points on
the Santa Fe. The best of these routes
will soon be selected. When President E.
P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe. was here
several weeks ago, I had a conference
with him on the subject. We practically
settled the necessary details. A compa
ny will soon be organized. It will be
financially backed by the Southern Pa
cific and Santa Fe.
"The new line will run a little to the
east of the Union Pacific's line from Salt
Lake southwest via Mllford to the Ne
vada state line. It should and will develop
a good local traffic in addition to hand
ling overland business. The line will open
up some valuable coal fields in Utah.
No. this project is not to interfere with
the Southern Pacific's proposed cut-off
between Los Angeles and Ogden and the
East by the way of the Carson & Color
ado Railroad. The latter route will ba
by the way of Mojave, Keeler and prob
ably Woodworth on the Central Pacific"

Monday. This Is her first visit to the
state of her nativity. While absent she

LAID ON THE TABLE
DEFEAT OF THE PROPOSITION FOR.
A PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM.
Statues of Benton, Blair and Grant
Accepted With Appropriate Cere
monies The Clark- Matter.
WASHINGTON. May 19. After a spirit
ed debate, the Senate today, by the de
cisive vote of 22 to 16, laid on the table
the whole proposition relating to the
transportation of maL by pneumatic tube
system. An effort was made to secure
the adoption of an amendment to appro
priate 5225,000 to carry out existing con
tracts for the service of New York,
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia, but
no action was taken upon it, special or
ders superseding the appropriating bill.
The closing hours of the session were oc
cupied in accepting frpm the State of. Mis
souri statues of Fenton and Blair, located
in Statuary Hall of the Capitol, and from,
the Grand Army of the Republic' the
statue of General U. S. Grant, located In
the Capitol rotunda.
. The Clark Case.
At the opening of the session. Secre
tary pro tem. Fry laid before the Senate a
dispatch from the Governor of Montana,
Robert B. Smith, announcing that be had
revoked the appointment of W. A- Clark
as Senator, made by Lleutenant-Govempr
Spriggs. and had appointed Martin Ma
glnnls to fill the vacancy. At the request
of Chandler (Rep. N. H.), chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections, the
telegram was referred to his committee.
Allen (Pop. Neb.) requested that the dis
patch He on the table, and to this Chand
ler agreed.
"Is this telegram," Inquired Allen, "to
be taken as construing that a vacancy
exists in the Senatorial representation of
Montana?"
"I think the seat is vacant," said Chand
ler. "How the vacancy was created is
another thing."
Morgan (Dem. Ala,), chairman of the
committee on interoceanlc canals, gave
notice that Tuesday he would move that
the canal bill be taken up for consider
ation. Perkins (Rep. Cal.) presented the re
port of the committee on conference upon
the fortifications appropriation bill, and
it was agreed to.
Allen offered a resolution that Messrs.
Fischer, Wessels and Wolmarens the
Boer delegates bo admitted to the floor
of the Senate during their sojourn in
Washington.
"I object," said Hawley (Rep. Conn.),
and the discussion went over.
Tho Senate then resumed consideration
of tho postoflice appropriation bill, the
question pending being the committee
amendment extending the pneumatic tube
service. Hoar (Rep. Mass.) offered a sub
stitute for this amendment as follows:
"For execution of existing contracts for
transportation of mall by pneumatic tubs
and such extension of such service as may
be Judged expedient by the Postmaster
General, and may in his Judgment be
accomplished at a reasonable cost, not ex
ceeding in any event 112.000 a mile, $750,000."
Butler (Pop. N C.) thought the Gov
ernment ought to maintain the service
itself If It were to be maintained at all.
At 1 o'clock the resolution In the Mon
tana Senatorial case was laid before the
Senate, and on motion of Chandler It went
over until 1 o'clock next Monday.
Caffery (Dem. La.) believed Hoar's
amendment was fair and conservative,
although there were circumstances in con
nection with the operation of the system,
as It existed now, that were suspicious.
Hoar contended that his amendment
committed the Government to nothing ex
cept to the continuation of existing con
tracts. Teller (SlL Colo.) thought If the scheme
was really valuable It ought to be operat
ed by the Government, but he was In
clined to the belief that the whole propo
sition ought to be rejected. Teller moved
that the committee's amendment and that
of Hoar be laid on the table. The motion
was agreed to, 32 to 16. as follows:
AYES.

ment appropriating $225,000 to carry out
existing contracts for pneumatic tube ser
vice, the amendment containing a pro
vision that there should be no extension
of tho service Until it was authorized by
law.
Acceptance ox statue.
Without action on the Lodge amend
ment, the postoflice appropriation bill was
displaced by the special orders which was
the ceremonies attending the reception of
the statues of Thomas H. Benton and
Francis P. Blair, which have been placed
In Statuary Hall of the Capitol, by the
State of Missouri. A series of addresses
were made, beginning with one by Vest
(Dem. Mo.), who spoke eulogistlcally and
eloquently of both Benton and Blair. No
event, he said, could go farther than the
presentation of a statue of Francis P.
Blair to the National Capitol by the State
of Missouri to emphasize the fact that
the memory of the War of the Rebellion
bad been wiped out- Indeed, both Benton
and Blair had devoted their lives to the
cause of free soil.
Vest's review of Colonel Benton's career
was an Interesting history of the days
of Clay, Webster and Calhoun. He., was,
Vest said, not the equal of Clay as an ora
tor, or of Webster as a lawyer, or of
Calhoun as an analytical debater, but
he was the superior of any of them as an
all-round legislator. He said that but for
Blair's Influence, Missouri would have
given her solid military strength to the
South, and if this had occurred, if were
possible that the result of the war might
have been different
Vest was followed by Hoar, who de
livered a glowing eulogy of Thoirias H.
Benton, whom he characterized as the
genius of Missouri, and of the West. He
said the whole country approved Mis
souri's choice for the Senate gallery.
At the conclusion of the speeches the
resolution accepting the statues of Benton
and Blalnwere adopted. ,
The Senate then proceeded to the consid
eration of the resolution accepting the G.'
A. R. statue of General Grant. By spe
cial order of the Senate, two of the gal
leries of the Senate had been reserved for
members of the G. A. R. Both were
filled, while, by further speblal order, the
national officers of the G. A. R. were ad
mitted to the floor of the Senate during
the exercises attendant upon the consid
eration of the resolution.
Hansbrough Ttep. N. D.) presented a
concurrent resolution similar to the one
offered earlier In the day in the House by
McCleary, and It was adopted.
"A Soldiers' Tribute to a Great Soldier"
was the brief speech of Hawley (Rep.
Conn.). He congratulated his comrades of
the G. A. R. upon the successful coasum-
mation of a great work, and said the noble
gift was accepted with sympathy and
gratitude. After a handsome eulogy by
Harris (Pop. Kan.), Turley (Dem. Tenn.)
delivered a notable address from the view
point of a private soldier in the ranks of
the Confederate army.. He said the senti
ments of the people of the South had in
recent years changed toward Grant and
gradually had become those of cordiality
and esteem. He -never could reach, he said,. I
that Inner chamber of the Southern peo
ple's hearts. It was occupied alone by the
Immortal Lee,' whom the people of the
Southland loved because he was the very
Incarnation of their cause. Turley said
he did not think of Grant as a commander
or as a President so much as he thought
of him as the gallant soldier, the friend
of Lee and the protector of the private
soldier of the Confederate army, and as
such a soldier he paid tribute to the mem
ory of Grant.
Turner (Fus. Wash.) spoke of Grant as
the "great, silent soldier, who lies upon
the bank of the Hudson. As he struck the
hardest blow, so was his hand first to pour
"the healing balm Into the wound thus
made." He considered liim as combining
the qualities of both Moltke and -Wellington,
for he planned with the precision of
the former and carried forward his plans
with the tenacity of the latter.
Carter (Rep. Mont.) paid a brief tribute
"to the Nation's greatest military chief
tain," and then Allen concluded the
speechmaklng with a view of General
Grant from the view point of a "private
soldier who served under him."
The Senate then, at 5:45 P. M., ad
journed. THE MESSAGE FItOJI SMITH.
Governor of Montana's Telegram to
Senator Chandler.
WASHINGTON, May 19. Senator Chand
ler has received the fdllowlng message
from Governor Smith, of Montana:
"To Hon. W. E Chandler, Chairman,
Washington, D. C Sir: I have this day
regarded and revoked the appointment of
Hon. W. A. Clark, made by the Lieutenant-Governor
of this state on the 15th
Inst, as being tainted with collusion and
fraud, and I have this day appointed Hon.
Martin MaglnnK of Montana, United
States Senator to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Hon. W. A. Clark.
'Credentials Trill follow In due course.
"ROBERT B. SMITH.
"Governor of Montana."
Senator Chandler has also received a
protest against Mr. Clark's being seated,
signed by Speaker Stiff, of the Montana
House of Representatives, and a number'
of county officials, dated at Missoula,
Mont, May IS.
The protest seta forth the proceedings in
the. Senate in the case of Senator Clark,
and then says:
"Whereas, It Is apparent from, the facts.
and circumstances following that at the
time Clark was delivering his speech in
the United States Senate, notifying the
Senate of the fact that he had tendered
his resignation, his son and others who
were associated with him during the con
test before the Legislative Assembly in I
January, 1S99, and who are shown to have
been partclpants In the bribery and cor
ruption practices in his election, were In
the capltol of Montana, his resignation
having been so timed that it would reach
the office of the Chief Executive of tho
State of Montana during the absence of
the Governor of the State, and while the
Lieutenant-Governor was Acting Governor
and upon whom it Is evident that thej
could confidently rely for the consumma
tion of a scheme for his appointment; and,
"Whereas, All the circumstances sur
rounding the transaction Indicate, and we
believe thore was a- conspiracy laid on
the part of W. A- Clark and those who
were associated with him In the contest
before the Legislative Assembly of Janu
ary, 1S99, and "who had, by false and fraud
ulent pretenses, induced the Governor of
the State of Montana to absent hlmsell
therefrom, that the Lieutenant-Governor
(evidently a party to the scheme), might
be the Acting Chief Executive for the
purpose of accepting tho tendered resig
nation and making the appointment, and
the Lieutenant-Governor, acting as Gov
ernor, in defiance of the will, not only of
the people of the State o? Montana, but
of all decent and right-thinking people
of the entire country as "well, pursuant
to the conspiracy and manifesting a con
tempt for the Senate of the United States
and for the,, opinions "of some of its most
eminent" and distinguished members, ap
pointed Mr, Clark to the vacancy created
by his own resignation.
"We, the undersigned citizens of4-the
State of Montana, do most earnestly, em
phatically and solemnly protest against
the s'ald W. A. Clark being allowed to
take his seat In tho Senate of1 the United
States under and by virtue of the appoint
ment already referred to, until the Senr
ate, by3 Its duly appointed committee oh
privileges and elections, may make such
inquiry as may appear necessary anu
proper risto the methods employed In
bringing about said appointment."
Another long protest signed by officials
and citizens of Silver Bow County, the
homo both of Mr. Clark and of Mr. Daly,
alleges that tho appointment of Mr. Clark
by the Lieutenant-Governor Is fraudulent
The following statement is from this pro
test: "When the Governor left the state, the
Lieutenant-Governor was also absent,
having left for the purpose of attending
the Peoples Party National Convention,
to bo held at Sleux Falls,. S. D. But by a
singular coincidence, the latter official,
who Is Mr. Clark's personal friend and
business assistant left the convention- be
fore It had made its nominations or trans
acted any business, and hurried back to
Montana, arriving In time to receive Mr.
Clark's resignation from the hands of his
son. Then, within a few hours after the
resignation was received, and only about
24 hours before the Governor's return, the
Lieutenant-Governor appointed Mr. Clark
to fill the supposed vacancy. In this be
half, the undersigned- allege, upon their
information and belief, that the Governor
of Montana was fraudulently and decep
tively lured from the state by Mr. Clark,
through Thomas Hinds, one of his recog
nized agents and political workers, for
the express purpose of enabling "Mr. Clark
to resign In his absence and to be rein
stated by tho appointment of the Lieutenant-Governor
before the Governor
could return."
Mnprlnnls' Commission Slfrned.
HELENA. Mont- May 19. Governor
Smith reached Helena today, and affixed
his signature to the commission of Major
Martin Maglnnis, who left tonight for
Washington. Concerning the appointment.
Governor Smith said:
"If tho Senate adopts the committee res
olution and decides that Clark was never
legally elected, and had nothing to re
sign, then my appointment of Major aia
glnnls may not be recognized."
To Feed "Willi Birds.
Christian Work.
We have found a very simple way of
providing board in Winter and lodging In
Summer for a great number of birds. You
have only to buy a few coacoanuts, cut
off the end6, like taking the top off an
egg, which can easily be done with a sharp
chisel and a mallet, bore holes through
the sides, put a string through and knot
It and then hang the cocoanut from a
creeper or bough. Thus for a few cents,
you can provide food for thesa lively
little birds for weeks, or rather months.
Last Winter our cocoanuts were seldom
let alone for many moments. Birds
swarmed on them, lowering themselves
down by the string, and, at last when
confidence was quite established, flying
straight In. They worked away at them
from early morn till dewy eve. When all
the nut fs eaten, the shells make excel
lent nesting places, and will probably be
taken possession of by the same birds
that hollow them out If the shells are
left out through the Summer. In this way.
both board and lodging are provided on
most reasonable terms, with no extras.
In the hardest weather this food supply
Is always available, and If 5 ou are away
from home for a few days you know

THE NERVOUS
&iHiHKn
MAJOR M. W. LANG.
Major M. W. Lang, Assistant Paymaster U. S. V., of 1S02 S street, N. W., Wash
ington, D. C, says the following In regard to Peruna:
"I have used Peruna for nervous dyspepsia for the last three
weeks. I can cordially recommend it to any one suffering from
a similar complaint; especially do I feel pleased to speak a
good word for it in this particular because dyspepsia or Indi
gestion Is quite too common a malady among Americans. It
has distinctly benefited me, restoring me to a normal condition
of good health when I was utterly incapacitated by a disorder
so easily cured by a few doses of really good medicine."
Major Lang's home address Is Wellington, O.
Charles W.
C ampbell,

respondent for
the Philadelphia '
Inquirer, speaks I
of Peruna in the
highest terms. Mr.
Campbell says:
"I have used Pe
runa for catarrh
and Indigestion,
and after the use
of one bottle I
find that it is all
you claim for it
' It is a fine tonic
and I take pleas

ferers." FOOD ADULTERATION
EUROPE XOT BEHTXiy THE TOTTED
STATES J.7 THE, ART
Many of the Most Common Artlcles-
of Consumption Are Rendered
Unwholesome by Poisons.
As the food supply has always been the
first problem to solve among the nations,
and as a wholesome food supply Is of
the utmost importance for the health of
the human race. It is natural that those
whose duty It is to protect this interest
are assuming great activity against the
prevailing tendency to adulterate and de
base the food supply of the -world. But
in the face of all this activity on the
part of the authorities, the adulterators
are waxing bolder, and the field for the
debasement of human- food Is extending
Its boundaries every year with a rapidity
that is as startling as it Is discouraging.
According to'the report of James T. Du
Bols, United States Consul-General at
St Gall, the following are a few of the
articles of food 'that are adulterated In
the Old World, to an extent that Is at
tracting the serious attention of the au
thorities in the different countries, and
especially in Switzerland, where (the laws
against the debasement of any ' kind of
human food are very strictly enforced.
Chocolate and Cacao.
Chocolate and cacao are coming more
and more into general use as articles of
food. Many people who are unable to
drink coffee or tea use chocolate and
cacao as a beverage. The slot machines
have extended the consumption of choco
late, and altogether its use has greatly
Increased during the past 10 years. This
advance in demand forced an increased
supply; the adulterator saw his oppor
tunity, and commenced operations, and at
once there was noticeable an increase In
the trade in mutton tallow, lowest grade
sugar, shells of the cacao bean, sawdust,
potato meal, and the ochers containing
the proper colors.
Honey.
This delicious and. In its natural state,
very wholesome breakfast dish Is coming
Into general use on the continent of Eu
rope; and the bees, be they never so busy,
cannot supply one-third of the honey that
Is consumed, so some one must naturally
make enough to supply the deficit.
Through a series of manipulations of al
most everything containing saccharine,
this is now being successfully and very
profitably accomplished; and, of course,
this Industry flourishes best in those years
when the bees have but little success in
manufacturing tho real article, which very
often occurs. The "dishonoring of honey,"
as It Is called, is a growing art. and
several successful establishments are now
in operation, producing large quantities
of this artificial honey for the market,
and the product is in popular demand. The
people seem to like It It Is cheap and the
sales are large. All sorts of Ingredients
enter Into Its manufacture, among which
may be mentioned syrups, malt extracts
of the lowest grades, meal of different
kinds, and cornstarch. From a pound of
bee honey, 5 to 10 pounds of "dishonest
honey" are made so successfully that it
sometimes requires an expert to discover
the deception.
Wines and Iiiqaors.
It Is a well-established fact that some
of the wine that is consumed has never
contained a drop of grape juice, and many
of the liquors contain hardly a drop of
the genuine article. Much of the wine
on the market Is from pressings several
removes from the first, and is amplified
by the sap of plums, cherries, apples, ber
ries of different kinds, and water. Potato
syrup dissolved In rain, wate.r and mixed
with the refuse of the wine and cider press
makes a very salable beverage, and soma
people are satisfied with the aroma and
stimulating qualities of this artificial wine.
The desired color and bouquet may be
obtained by mixing wine acids with cream
of tartar.
Beer.

DYSPEPSIA OF
John F. Carter, 3S6 Nicholson street
Richmond, Va., writes: "I take great
pleasure In recommending Peruna for all
who aro suffering with catarrh of the
years, and had seven- or eight of the best
doctors here. They pronounced it dys-
pepsla. The last one I had told me what.
was the matter with me.
"I wrote to you and commenced on your
wonderful medicine, Peruna, and after
taking eight bottles I consider myself a
well man. I told several friends about It,
and all of them feeL better since taking It
I was down two or three months at a
time, unable to do anything; haven't had
a spell since Caking your medicine.
"Any one suffering with stomach
trouble that will take your medicines reg-
ularly will be cured. My druggist told me
Is very carefully controlled by the authorities-
in many of the Continental coun
tries, especially in Germany and Switz
erland, the adulteration Is carried on to
such an extent that Its quality is not
what It would be If the laws against its 1
debasement could be rigidly enforced.
Chemical analysis "proves that, aside fromj
malt hope and water, some beer contains
chicory, pine sprouts, camdmlle, henbane,
wild nherries; poppy heaos.'gainoa grains,
boxwood, potash, vitriol of iron. alum,
licorice, solution of tartar, linseed and
similar Ingredients. These substances en
able the manufacturers to produde beer
cheaper, and some of them help to make
It heavier and more stimulating, and, from
the large quantity consumed, it would
seem that this Is what some people de
mand; consequently the supply.
Bread.
In Switzerland, bread seems to play a
more prominent part as food than In any
other country, except France. It furnishes
70 per cent of the nourishment of the
3,000.000 Inhabitants In the Swiss Republic,
and that the nourishment is wholesome
and adequate is proven by the sturdy
health for which most of the Swis3 are
noted. I doubt owing to the careful en
forcement of the antl-adulteratlon law of
Switzerland and. the prompt and vigorous
protest of the people themselves when an
Infraction Is discovered, whether there
is any country in Europe that has, as
a rule, purer, more wholesome bread than
this republic But rigorous enforcement
of laws and prompt resentment of the
breadeaters have not thus far, prevented
adulteration taking place. Being the chief
article of food, It has the widest market
and consequently offers the best oppor
tunity for debasement To Increase the
weight of bread is becoming quite, an art
on the continent of Europe. Some bakers
soak the dough heavily with water and by
quickly baking succeed la holding muctr
of Its weight Others mix potato meal
with the flour. This system does not nec
essarily make unwholesome bread, al
though It lessens It nourishing' power. The
most unwholesome bread Is made out of
low-grade flour. In which alum or blue
vitriol Is used to Improve its. appearance.
Sometimes the admixture of these Ingredi
ents Is too generous, and these poisons
become q pronounced as severely to af
fect the health of the oonsumers.
Mlllc
Milk also has Its troubles. The pump
Is not its only source of Increase. If"
water Is added to milk, the dilution will
always bo apparent unless some Ingredi
ent is applied to cover the deception and
restore the color, and sometimes certain
kinds of soap are successfully used for
this purpose
Batter. Butter has not escaped the wiles of the
adulterator, and the different ways in
which It is debased are many, and some
are past finding out All kinds of cheap
fatty substances are employed and good
oleomargarine Is the least objectionable
of them tall, according to experts. Most
people like yellow butter and demand It
at the market place. It Is not difficult to
understand, therefore, that when the sea
son and fodder are unfavorable to the
making of yellow butter, art should step In
to satisfy the wishes of the buyer; and
the juice of the carrot Is used to give
the butter a golden hue. But this can
hardly be called deleterious adulteration,
provided pure carrot Juice is employed.
Water left in butter increases the weight
and some butter-makers "Have not allowed
this fact to escape their .notice.
Cheese.
The door to adulteration is wide open
in the cheese industry. Natural and some
chemical- fats find their way readily Into
cheese -vats. Milk of all qualities and m
all stages is used, and potatoes that are
worthless for marketing purposes are
ground exceedingly fine for cheesemak
ing; and it is said that even the blood
from the slaughter-house sometimes plays
a part in this manufacture.
Coffee
If all the substances that pass through
a Continental coffee-grinding machine dur
ing the year should be- written in alpha
betical order, A would begin the list with
acorns and W would end It with worm
wood, sprouts of which are sometimes
used to give the debased coffee a slight
aromatic bitter taste. Adulteration oc

lots of people come in and call for the
medicine that cured me."
S. B. Coates, Muncie, Ind., 1332 jE&st
Washington street, writes: "t have just
recovered from a very bad- case of dys
pepsia, and owe my recovery to Peruna.
I have been troubled with dyspepsia for
five years. Doctors did- me little or no
good. One bottle of Peruna gave me re
lief, and after using two bottles the dys
pepsia has all disappeared. I can cat and
sleep, and feel like a new man."
Mr. H. D. Carew, Brockton, Massf, HH6
Main street, writes: "About 10 years ago
I was greatly distressed by dyspepsia, and
took no comfort day or night. I tried
everything that physicians prescribed,
ft 1th no relief whatsoever. A friend in
sisted on my using Peruna. It worked
wonders, and entirely cured me of the
disagreeable disease. I cannot speak too
highly of Peruna."
The symptoms of catarrhal dyspepsia
are. coated tongue, pain or hea.vy feeling
in "the stomach, sour stomach, belching
of gas, dizzy head, sometimes headache,
despondent feelings, loss of appetite, pal
pitation of heart and irregularity of the
j. bowels,
"For this condition Peruna is found to
be an admirable remedy. In all cases It
'brings prompt relief to the painful symp
toms, and In a large per cent of the cases
it makes a permanent cure. Peruna
soothes the Inflamed mucous surface and
thus strikes at the root of the disease.
Mr. Ell Lefevre, Jr., New Hudbon,
Oakland County. Mich.. Box 52, writes:
"I had 'been
troubled with .ca
tarrh for a. num
ber of years, and
had been taking
medicines for It,
but they did mo
no good. In read

Hartman's books

covered that Pe
runa was good
for catarrh. Af
ter X had taken
only three bottles
of Peruna I was
cured of the catarrh. I now advise
everybody troubled with catarrh to take
Dr. Hartman's Peruna, as it is assure

"Friends to whom I recommended Pe
runa, tell me that It Is also good for head
ache, dizziness and pain In the stomach."
In cases where the Inflammation baa

curs largely in the coffee that is sold In
the ground form. Several coffee-berry
factories- have been discovered In Europe,
which were doing a large and profitable
business by molding an admixture of tan
bark, stove rust, clay, sawdust., chicory,
coffee sediment and coffee meal into a.
neat berry by the aid of some aggluti
nant; and these berries were so well made
thnt th detention, was not discovered for
a. long time. This production, had a large
sale among tho lower Classes OI itusaia.
and Poland, and mixed with the genuine
coffee berry its sale was quite lively in
other parts of Europe.
Unroasted coffee berries are often made
from oat and rye flour and corn rneaL
The natural aroma of these gains is de
stroyed by somo process, and, after the
proper amount of coffee- aroma Is added,
the berries are formed and caused to
maintain their shape by some adhesive
substance. The test usually employed to
discover this deception is- to place the
beans in a receptacle- containing warm
water; this will dissolve them In a few
hours.
Tea.
The debasement of tea Is a growing In
dustry. Twenty-five years ago the tea
drinking habit was confined largely to
Holland. Russia and England; but the
beverage Is now popular In almost every
Continental country. This new condition
increases the demand, and the adulterat
ors thus have the opportunity to ply their
nefarious trade with success. Take a
handful of ordinary tea, place it in luke
warm water, and when the leaves are
thoroughly saturated, open and spread
them out and, three chances in six, you
will find a quantity of strawbarry, linden,
sage and other leaves in the collection.
But should It be found that all the leaves
belong to the tea plant, that will be no
proof that adulteration has not taken
place, for the" clever Chinese have . trick
of using thyB6!UVmVe34 of brewed tea
for the exporT??fade7 afia'some of the tea
dealers of Europe have discovered the
deception and are utilizing the trick by
preparing these leaves themselves.
Thus, at a time when American meats
and dried fruits are having a struggle
for existence on the markets of Ger
many and Switzerland and some other
European countries, owing to the un
founded and false Ideas of their unwhole-
scmencss Ideas created by the spirit of
competition alone It Is not an Inoppor
tune time to call attention to the well
founded belief among the breadwinners
of Europe that our meats and fruits are
far cheaper and more wholesome and
nourishing than tons of other food sup
plies which they are purchasing every
day without thought or protest, and at
prices high enoygh to satisfy the most
eager profit-taker In the land.
