Mr. Walter Taylor, Atlanta, Ga.: My Dear Sir—l notice with much pleasure your efforts In behalf of pro tectlng our people from polluted meat, lln this connection I want to relate a circumstance coming under my Imme diate observation. While visiting In the state of Iowa four years ago) a friend carried me ten miles In the country to see some 2- year-old steers be was fattening for market. These steers averaged .1,100 pounds, were uniform In color, and from all outward appearances I could see nothing but perfection In every par ticular. The owner drove them Into the shipping point the same week, and to keep them up to their full stand ard, only required them driven about two miles an hour. I was present when they were driven In the pen for shipment to an Eastern market, and noticed that seven of them were singled out and driven Into a sep arate pen. and I very naturally In quired why they were left out, receiv ing a very frank reply, that they would not pass inspection In an Eastern mar ket, but would pass ,alt right for the Southern market, and would go to Kan sas City for slaughter, while the others would go to Chicago, thence to the East. These seven head, to my eye, looked quite as perfect as the remainder, and on Inquiry I learned they had a disease called lump jaw and would be con demned In Chicago. I Immediately no tified one of our leading dally pnpers, making them to take the matter up, and ventilate the fraud upon our people, but nothing was ever printed or said •bout It.

Mr. Walter A. Taylor, Chairman Meat Inspection Committee, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Sir—I regret to learn that there has been some opposition to the pass age of the ordinance drafted by your committee on meat Inspection. I feel deeply Interested In this matter myself, and am surprised that any cltlsen who haa the people of Atlanta's Interest at •take would oppose any ordinance that would protect the city from unclean or unwholesome meat, and am glad to aea The Atlanta Georgian of Saturday, Aug. 21, come out and take up the cause of the people, and want to con gratulate your committee and The Georgian on the efforts put forth for the betterment of local conditions.

Every sign points to a period bloodshed In Russia such as has not been seen since the days of the reign of terror In France. It Is significant that women, many of them young glrla, are selected as the executioners of these officials condemned to death Thousands of educated young women are crying for vengeance for the In sults and cruelties heaped upon their sisters and are at the call of the ter rorists. Oeneral Min, next to General Tre- poff, has been one of the most hated men In Russia. He and his regiment on more than one occasion have been sent to suppress disorders, and he has performed hts task with such bitter severity that It Is alleged hts own sol diers have threatened to shoot him on the first opportunity. Widow Seizes Slayer. The general was reluming from the capital to his summer residence at Pe- terhof, when he met his death. He had Just been greeted by his wife and daughter at the Peterhof station, when the girl approached from behind and fired two shots Into his back.

One of these was Miss Adelaide Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Pierce Allen, of 605 Spring street "The prettiest girt I. have seen In the South,” said the President.

In the renolutlona which declared the editor an outcast. It was voted that the name anathema should descend on whoever might befriend him. Further, It wan decreed that copies of the reso- luttonn should be sent to every Jewish community In the world. Following the adoption of the resolutions the question of putting Ltebllng outside the pale of the church was taken up. Rab- bla Kpsteln, Brndy and Hamburger consulted the law and the prophets to decide whether the offense with which he was charged would warrant such a course. It wan decided that the excommunt- 1 cation would be proper, and after the regular forma In the ritual of Jewish worship had been performed; It was announced by Rabbi Epateln that "In the name of God and by the authority of the assembly of Jewish congrega tions," one Joel Ltebllng was read out of the synagogue and the fellowship of all orthodox Jews. The excommu nication does not affect his wife and son, as they Are declared to be Inno cent parties. Llebllng, aa the editor of the Jewish paiwr, was accused of slandering re spectable uml even noted persons of the Jewish race, as u remainder that it would be well either to advertise In or subscribe for his Journal.

It was stated that new advertising contracts on a different basis would be arranged In a short time.; . v There Is but one ray of light In .the* ■gloomy horizon for the pass user. The Interstate law takes no cognizance of a trip within the boundaries of a state and the roads are free to use their own discretion In such matters. Wheth er the roads will evade the spirit of the act by Issuing passes to the etate line and from state lln* to other points through offices In the respective states le still In doubt. But It Is certain that the railroads, never prone to grant a pass where thla could be avoided, will strain no points to give a free ride tu any but those high In authority. The law against passes will If closely Interpreted force the railroads to pay transportation for their own traveling agents, when they travel over other roads unless such agents can be con sidered "officials" of the companies. It deprives the fnmllles of all employees of their accustomed free tripe during the eummer. It prevents the granting of passes to promoters of excursion parties In return for their servlet great army of deadheads must to pay or stay at home, and the army has been growing. It Is a proverb with railroads as with theaters that one who has once secured a pass will never be content to pay hie way again. But some of them must learn. Reduced Rates Stopped. Not- only free passes but reduced rate tickets under certain conditions are cut off. The railroads posted an order Monday that no more half-rate tickets in cases of distress would be Issued unless the request were accom panied by the certificate ot a reputable physician. Clergymen, who have been accustomed to traveling at half price, must pay full fare. The blow falls alike upon the just and the uhjust.

Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 27.—In the general primary election being held In Alabama today the contest for what Is known as "alternate senator" hae at tracted as much attention as the ruber- natorlal race. In fact, this race, which Is for an entirely new and unheard of honor, has caused considerable com ment In Georgia and other states of the South. The place was created by the stale Democratic* executive committee at its meeting In Montgomery In Jan uary, when It adopted plant to govern the primary. The place, which was created because of the fact that the legislature meets only once every four years In this state, and because the leg islature which will be elected Monday will bercaUed on \4 elect the successors to Senators John T. Morgan and Ed mund W. Pettus, was dubbed as th* office of "senator In waiting" when first created. Senator Morgan's term ex pires In the United 8tates senate March 1907, while that of Senator Pettus ends March 4, 1909. By what has the appearance of the common consent of the people of Alabama, Senators Mor gan and Pettus* have lifetime posi tions. Have No Opposition. In Alabama It seems to be a political mistake to dare mention opposition to either of these venerable men. They are without opposition In the coming primary, and If they live until January 1907, when the new legislature meets, they will be re-elected by a unanimous vote. But In the meantime the scram ble Is for the place of one or the other or both In the event there Is one or two vacancies. The two "alternate” sena tors will simply have v *pty honor* un til they have the privilege of stepping Into the shoes willed them by either Morgan or Pettus. Under the rule of the primary the candidate getting th* largest vote will get the first vacancy. The next highest vote will land the sec ond candidate. This means that If one of the venerable men should die the legislature would be morally obligated to elect the "alternate" aenator nomi nated Monday, and In the event th* legislature Is not In session the govern or will be under obligations to name the "senator In waiting.” The law .provides for passes for offi cial a of “common carrier*,’’ and In an other paragraph the Standard Oil Com pany 1* made a "common carrier."
