AS TO PURD TOOD.
Mr. Hosack, of Allegheny, offered a
resolution authorizing a committee of
two members of the senate and three
of the house to Investigate charges of
mismanagement of the work of the
it is charged that 500,000 pounds of
oleomargarine are sold monthly in
Pittsburg and that certain officers of
the department neglect and refuse to
prosecute violations of the law. It Is
stated that certain dealers in oleomar
garine in Pittsburg pay to officers,
agents or others for said department
orre cent per pound upon all oleomar
garine they are permitted to sell In vio
lation of the oleomorgarlne act and
that those palng said sum are shielded
and protected from prosecution. The
resolution passed unanimously.
In his speech In support of his reso
lution, Mr. Hosack used the name of
Frank M. Moore, the agent of the
dairy and food commissioner In Pitts
burg, who Is accused of being Impli
cated In the matter. He said he was
fully prepared to substantiate the
charges with affidavits, but for the
present would not furnish names and
dates, for that w ould give the guilty
an opportunity to prepare themselves.
Mr. Hosack said he felt It to be his duty
to expose and have punished the guilty
persons One affidavit, which was read
mentioning the names of the affllant,
made charges of this kind:
"Mr. told me that he had been
approached and asked to act as a prose
cutor for the state In conjunction with
Mr. Moore, the dairy and food commis
sioners' ngont, and that the suits were
to be brought to deceive the public.
In January, 1S97, Mr. was around
to buy a carload of oleomorgarlne at
wholesale. He was told that he could
have It at one cent less per pound, If
it was not for trade, and It took a cent
a pound to keep the Pittsburg market
open."
Another arTldavit stated that the mak
er, while in a certain store in Pittsburg
heard Mr. Moore tell the proprietor that
teamen were complaining about tea be
ing given away with sales of oleo.
Moore said that he was not interested
further than to keep peace in the fam
ily. USELESS PROTESTS.
Mr. Hosack said further that a prom
inent attorney of Pittsburg, whose name
will be given later, applied to the
department of agriculture for relief in
this matter and was told that he must
do everything through Mr. Moore, the
pure food agent at Pittsburg. It was
charged that but very few suits were
brought ugainst dealers, although the
butter dealers have repeatedly urged
that dealers In oleomargarine be prose
cuted. The house was much surprised at the
charges contained In the resolution, and
after adjournment, sought Mr. Hosack
for further particulars. Mr. Moore was
a member of the last house and was
active In the passage ot the pure food
bill. Mr. Hosack denied the story that
his resolution was In any Bense faction
al. Ho said the Information had come to
him from reputable sources In Pitts
burg. There are more affidavits, he
said, which will be presented to the In
vestigating committee,
A resolution was offered, authorizing
the purchase of a fountain pen for each
member, but it was overwhelmingly
defeated.
After reading a large number of bills
for the Urst time, the house adjourned
until 9 o'clock Monday evening,
DANGEROUS LEGISLATION.
Governor Hastings Vctos a Resolu
tion Kstuhlishing Hml Precedent.
HarrlBburg, Pa., Feb. 19. Governor
Hastings has vetoed the concurrent
resolution providing for tiro appoint
ment of a committee of five members
of the senate and house to act in con
junction with the commission appoint
ed by the governor, to erect the bulld-
lugs of the western Pennsylvania in
stitution for the feeble-minded at Polk,
Venango county, "with power to finally
adjust and settle such claims as may be
found to be due the conti actor for the
construction of said institution, and
for giadlng and other woik In connec
tion with the same,"
C. A. Halph, of Pittsburg, Is the con
tractor. The govcinot thinks that Buch
a committee is entliely unnecessary and
unw an anted, as It Is evidently an In
tention of the resolution to confet upon
this committee and the commission al
ready appointed the power to Incroafo
the sum to be paid to the contractor,
If In their judgment, It would bo Just
anl equitable to do so. He says It Is
contraiy to the constitution, which pro
ldes that no bill shall be passed giv
ing any extra compensation, to any
public olllcer, contractor, etc., after ser
vices shall have been rendered or con
tract made without ptevlous authority
of law. The governor says In conclu
sion that legislation like this Is of a
most dangeious character. It opens the
doors to the claims of all conti actors
for public work for extra compensation.
Such a precedent would be a danger
ous one to establish, inasmuch as com
petltho building would become unfair
for the reason that those persons who
possess political ot- other Influence
would hae the advantage of those who
do not In that they they could go to
the legislature for additional compensation.
AIR. MOORE DOES NOT OBJECT,
He Is Willing to Have the Jiight
Turned on ut An) Time.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 19. F. N. Moore,
special agent of the state pure food
department, was seen tonight, and
when asked about the Hosack resolu
tions said.
"I am ready to appear before, the pro
posed committee when It may ap
point a time for a hearing, and tell It
all that I know. In fact, I am rather
pleased that an Investigation Is asked
for. It will afford an opportunity to
furnish some Information to the people
ot the state of the extent to which foods
are adulterated and the amount of oleo
margarine that Is sold, and of what ele
ments deleterious to health it is made
of, showing the necessity for such laws
and their rigid enforcement. Regard
ing the Insinuation that money Is paid
by dealers for Immunity from prose
cution I know nothing, but If it can
be shown that any such thing is, has
been, or is being done, I am sure the
know lege will be gladly availed of by
the department to run down the parties
who assume to collect money for such
purposes, as it ought to those who
pay It. Personally I have never re
ceived any consideration for such pur
pose, although tendered me frequently.
So far as my conduct is concerned I am
willing to have the light turned on at
any time."
ONE PLACE VACANT.
fit Is Believed That tbe Selection ol a
New York Man Will Complete
AlcKinley's Cabinet.
Canton, Ohio, Feb. 19. Two important
bits of political news were developed
here today. Orre is that James A. Gary,
of Baltimore, has been offered and has
accepted a position In Major McKlnley's
cabinet. The other Is that J. J. Mo
Cook, of New York, who Is being favor
ably considered by Major McKlnley in
connection with a cabinet position has
not been offered a portfolio, nor has
Mr. McCook been definitely determined
upon for a cabinet position If he does
become a member of the cabinet It Is
not absolutely certain that he will be
the attorney general or that Mr. Gary
will be made postmaster general. This
is upon high authority. When the final
cast of the cabinet Is made It may seem
well to the president-elect to transfer
ex-Governor Long, whom he has fixed
upon for the navy department to the
department of justice, leaving the navy
portfolio for a New York man or for
Mr. Gary Irr case It Is decided to give
New Yoik the postotllce department.
Mr. Gary has been an active Repub
lican worker In Maryland for more than
fifteen vears and for a long period was
the member of the Republican national
committee from that state. Major Mc
Klnley has known him for fifteen years
and has long deemed him one of the
foremost business men of the South.
There is still one place in the cabinet
to be filled and the general belief is
that It will be given to a New York Re
publican Major McKlnley is Improving rapidly
in health, but adheres strictly to his
resolution to see no visitors.

MAN'S MISSION ON EARTH.
It is Defined by Mrs. Sally A. Cot
ton at tbe Congress of
Mothers.
Washington, Feb 19 Previous to the
regular session of the congress of
mothers this morrrlng, conferences were
held at the Arlington hotel and at the
regular meeting place of the congress

president, Mrs. Theodore W. Blrney,
called the general congress to order at
10.30 a. m , the usual crowd was In at
tendance, but there seemed to be a
slight Increase In the number of "fath
ers" present.
Mrs. Sally A. Cotton, the last speaker
of the morning, delivered on address on
a "National Training School for Wo
men." Speaking of man's mission on earth,
Mrs Cotton said:
"Man's mission on earth Is the sub
jection, domination and utilisation of
the forces of nature for the benefit of
mankind, and governments are formed
for the more successful accomplish
ment of this mission. On the earth
there will never be any creature higher
than man, but he may become a higher
tvpe, and the needs of the future will
dernnnd a higher type. Higher und
more complex conditions will require
higher adaptability to meet those condi
tions and it is the w Oman's mission to
develop this higher adaptabilltj In man.
"But all duty is recipiocal, and It is
the duty of the governrnerrt which seeks
the welfare of Its people to olfer to Its
women nn opportunity for the attain
ment of this scientific motherhood,
which will be fraught with so much
good.
"buentlfic motherhood will gain no
marked Impetus while restricted to a
foitunate few. It must be made a na
tional possibility, In order to become a
national benefit. Like all our national
blessings, It should bo "by the people"
for the people Itself, and It is the duty
ol government to give her an opportu
nity to acquire this scientific knowl
edge It can be done through establish
ing by the government of a national
training school for women, whore tho
women of the nation shall be tialned In
the sciences of domestic!! and peace,
Just as at West Point and AnnapolU
