Rev. Alex W. Bcaler is now en

for Kind Woids,the Sunday school
paper published by the Baptist J
Sunday school board at Nashville,
Tenn. Last spring at the request
of the editors, Mr. Beale r wrote

words. It ran through ten weeks
and set forth in narr tive form the

scenes-of the story were laid in and

Pessimistic observations are no
sort of antidote for galling griev

presses himself deprecatorily about
things that are wrong and ought
to be righted does not deserve the
name pessimist.
Amid the flaring declarations
that the country is mounting a
wave of prosperity, there are those
that would keep obscure some
facts and figures that would show
that while this might be admitted
there are extravagances and leaks
that might be stopped, or at least
diminished, to the benefit of the
people.
The bill for Philippines expenses
already includes several hundred
millions of dollars, and, according
to the official figures since the first
troops were sent to Manila, the fol

officers, 30, enlisted men, 1000;
died of disease, officers, 102, enlist
ed men, 2908; total, 4040.
This pension matter is one that
grows in enormity and makes the
tax payer sick when the figures are
exhibited, and illustrative of how
long pensions may last is the fact
that there are four widows of Rev
olutionary soldiers yet left on the
rolls. ,

already number over 44,000, of

The positive announcement al
ready made in the News and Cou
rant and other papers that there
would be a meeting at the taber
nacle this year has been received
with satisfaction and interest by
the people. There was no meeting
held last year and the people are
doubly anxious for m thi ; ear
The time has been firmly fixed,
which is from the Bth to the 15th of
September. Mrs, Sam Jones in a
most interesting letter irom Wi
nona Lake, Ind., appearing in an
other column, gives the names of a
number of distinguished divines
that are expected to be here and
makes the pleasing statement that
anew feature, “childrens’ day,”
under the direction of the great
Sunday school man, Mr. R. B.
Reppaid, has been planned
for. A notable occasion will be
“childrens’ day.” and the cause of
the Sunday school and religion
wi 1 profit by it.
The array of ministers is an ex
ceptionally strong one. Dr Monk
has preached here before at these
meetings and his scholarly and
profound discourses left a lasting
impress on a 1 who heard h:m.
The presence of the founder of the
Florence Crittenden Home will be
gratifying, and such able men as
Revs. Brown, of Mississippi, An
thony, ofSavannah; Byrd, John
son, Dickey and Bigliam, of At
lanta, will mark an epoch in the
history of these services. Of course,
the great evangelistic success, Rev.
.Sam Jones will make the usual en
deavor to give at least one sermon
each day.
The tabernacle meeting is a
great occasion. It brings together
in a religious way ager assem
blages than could be accommodat
ed in ordinary buildings. The
preachings are of such a high or
der and so able as to make it a
privilege worthy to te greatly es
teemed to listen to them. The in
spiring music, the many manifes
tations of religious interest per
meate the assemblages and leave
a a impress for good.
The building ot the tabernacle
more than fifteen years ago was an
accomplishment the people were
proud of. It is a splendid struc
uu, substantial and convenient,
with a seating capacity of between
rive and six thousand. The grounds
are desirably located, being acees

have built such structures and all
are proud of them. With such a
structure built for such a good pur

services held therein once a year

It is hoped the meeting this year
will be the best yet held. For

Former State Senator Swink, of
Colorado, according to a Denver
dispatch has succeeded in perfect
ing and growing a seedless water
melon. The following verse seeks
to immortalize his name:
Go hide vour head in shame, O smoke
less powder,
Likewise ye eowles® milk and clamlesk
ehowder.
Y'e horseless carriage. once a nine days’
wonder,
Avaunt! for.we will soon have noiseless
thunder.
Tin-is the age ot less-less things, for
socth,
Of painless dentristy and acheless tooth
Though that, indeed, is but a truthless
lie.
Which, for the sake ol' argument, pass
by.
The point is this: A man out West
named Swink,
A. greater man than from his name you
would think,
Has raised a tiling that's fairer than
Troy’s Helen
A luscious, juicy, seedless watermelon!
Then hail to you, good Swink! The

ADULTERATED COFFEE.
GROCER WHITE FOUND GUILTY
OF VIOLATING OHIO’S PURE
FOOD LAWS.
Interesting Fuels Conpernlns the
Roasting of Coffee Brongfct On 1 by
Sclentliic Experts—l'rescnee of Bac
teria.
Toledo, 0., Aug. 3.—The jury In Judge
Meek’s court in tills city has found
James White, a local grocer, guilty of
selling adulterated coffee. The prose
cution was based on a package of Ar
buckles Ariosa coffee.
The State of Ohio, through the Pure
Food Commission, prosecuted White.
The case was on trial for nearly a
month and attracted national atten
tion.
The manufacturers of Ariosa coffee
conducted the defense for Grocer
White. The best attorneys in the
country were retained to defend him,
but, after a short consultation, a ver
dict of guilty was returned by the jury.
The State of Ohio considers this a big
victory. Pure Food Commissioner
Blackburn has been waging a warfare
on spurious food articles and the de
partment has been successful.
The complaint of the State of Ohio
was that Ariosa coffee was eoqked with
a substance which concealed defects in
the coffee and made it appear better
than it is. The State charged this
coating or glazing was a favorable me
dium for the propagation of bacteria.
Prof. G. A. Kirchmaler, of this city,
a well known chemist, was the princi
pal witness for the State. He had
made scientific examinations of sam
ples of Ariosa purchased from Grocer
White in the open market He found
that each Ariosa berry wntained an
average of 300 bacteria Mr. Klreh
maier further testified that other cof
fees lie examined contained few bacte
ria or none at all. He declared that
the glazed coffee was not a wholesome
food product
Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, cor
roborated the testimony of Prof. Klreh
maier. The State did not present fur
ther testimony.
The defense through the Arbuekles,
who prepared this glazed coffee, se
cured some of the most eminent chem
ists and scientists In the United States
to give testimony in their behalf. I’rof.
H. W. Wiley, of the United States Ag
ricultural Department; Prof. Vaughn of
Ann Arbor University; Profs. Bleile
and Webber, of the Ohio State Univer
sity, were called to defend Ariosa. Dr.
Wiley had made a careful examination
of the method of manufacturing Ario
sa. He told of the 19,000.000 eggs used
by the Arbuekles yearly In the prepara
tion of this glazing. On this point In
cross examination, the State’s attorney
deftly drew from him the information
that these eggs might be kept in cold
storage by the Arbuekles for a year or
two at a time.
The expert* who heard Dr. Wiley’s
testimony were pleased to bo able to
“catch” so famous a chemist. The doc
tor at one point In his testimony ex
plained very clearly how it Is that the
egg put Into the coffee pot by the house
wife settles the coffee. He said that
the heat coagulates the egg. and as it
sink* to the bottom of the pot it carries
the flue particles of coffee with It, and
thus clarifies the drink. It is the act of
coagulation In the coffee pot that does
the work. Later on In hls cross exam
ination. he bad to admit that when the
egg was pat on Ariosa coffee at the
factory It became coagulated, and as
egg cannot be coagulated but once, that
the coating on coffee was practically no
value, as a "settler” when It reached
the coffee not
Prof Wiley acknowledged that the
glazing might be a favorable medium
for the propagation of bacteria, al
though he would not testify positively
either way because he was not a bac
teriologist.
Prof Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, also a
witness tor the Arbuekles, said he
found bacteria on Ariosa coffee.
Prof. Bleile. another witness for the

defense, found any number of lively
bacteria on Ariosa coffee he examined,
and he agreed that glazed coffee surely
was a more favorable medium for the
propagation of bacteria than unglazed
coffee.
Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn
says: “The State is very much elated
over its victory against this corpora
tion. We are now considering the ad
visability of informing every grocer in
tlie State of Ohio that it is an infrac
tion of the laws to sell Ariosa, and at
the same time give warning to con
sumers that the coffee Is an adulterat
ed food article.”
The verdict of the jury in this case !i
of national importance because a great
many other States have pure food laws
like that of Ohio, and It is natural to
suppose that similar action will be
taken by other Pure Food Commis
sioners to prevent the sale of glazed
coffees. ,
