Pessimistic observations are no sort of antidote for galling griev ances, though every one that ex 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 lowing: killed or died from wounds, 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. , According to the same contin uance and considering that the DON’T WAFT, j if you Knew how :CC TS EMULSION would build you up, increase your weight, strengthen your weaK'hrost and lungs and put you in con dition Tor next winter, you would ivegin to lake it now.

And the Revolutionary wards are not the only ones with long lives, for within the past year two widows of the war of 1812 and 325 widows of the Mexican war were added to the list.

THK TA HE UN AC I.K MF.KU Vi. 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 -ible rolling enough for good h ■ ■ a.ige, and plenty ot growth for -.hade The building has good .sen s, and gas has been put in for 'tm&akz&i without Potash.

With such a structure built for such a good pur pose and such interesting religious services held therein once a year ought to bring the people together in one gladsome univeral move. It is hoped the meeting this year will be the best yet held. For such results good people will give their prayers Former State Senator Swink, of Colorado, according to a Denver dispatch has succeeded in perfect ing and growing a seedless water melon.

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 THE IDEAL HOME MAGAZINE Is in its twenty-eighth year- printed on fine paper and p r “ fusely illustrated.

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. , Wnahtnirton’s Faatlilloaa Ktnanii.

He was brought lo trial for killing JohnsoD and demanded and received the privi lege of being tried by his peers. The house of lords was thronged dur ing the hearing. The evidence proved to be conclusive, and Ferrers was sen tenced to be hanged at Tyburn. Ap peals were made to tbe king for clem ency, but In vain. Ferrers met bit fate with considerable bravado. He was carefully attired for tbe occasion and Insisted on providing a silken cord for tbe oeremony. To this whim tbe execu tioner agreed, and tbe earl was turned off otherwise like any other felon.
