(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, April 17. Governor
Ftone has been the recipient of many
letters of conmiemlatlon of the con
duct of the office of dairy and food
commissioner under his administra
tion. These letters nave come from
farmers and others whose Interests
have been Jeopardized by the attempts
to Impose upon the public In the sale
of what Is known as renovated but
ter. Other schemes In violation of the
laws of this commonwealth passed to
prevent the adulteration of food pro
ducts and other Impositions upon the
reople have been unearthed and block
ed by the officials attached to Governor
Stone's administration, In accordance
with his instructions to vigorously
prosecute all violators of the law. Pub
lic attention has boen attracted to this
subject within the last few days by the
numerous warrants sworn out as the
result of Investigations by state of
ficials. No less than 18 warrants were
issued upon affidavits of a representa
tive of Food and Dairy Commissioner
Levi Wells In one day last week In
this city, In line with th determina
tion to prosecute those against whom
evidence of alleged violations of the
laws shall be obtained.
The department has a number of
agents throughout the state and sev
eral In Philadelphia. The; Philadel
phia agents hava collected In the past
several months samples that have en
iibled the department to force manu
facturers and groecri to take danger
ous products, oleomargarine, reno
vated butter, spices, vinegar, etc., en
tirely off the market. Some of the
products, especially the admixtures of
renovated butter i and '.Oleomargarine,
require most careful analysis by the
chemists In order to detect adultera
tion. '
LAW TO HE ENFORCED.
The Philadelphia agents have col
lected and turned In to the chemist.
Prof. F. A. Genth, Jr., In the last few
months, over 150 samples of food pro
ducts and prosecutions have been In
stituted in a large number of cases
before several of the magistrates, and
the cases now rest In the quarter ses
sions and common pleas courts for
trial. The district attorney has prom
ised his active Bupport In prosecuting
the cases In his charge. The majority
of the samples that have been collected
are oleomargarine, sold In violation
of the law. 1 1 , "
The act of assembly, passed at the
lust session, recognizes the right to
sell oleomargarine and renovated but
ter, but requires those dealing in thi3
product to mark It and sell It for what
It Is, w ithout coloring matter to make
It look like butter. A test case In th"
color clause was argued In No. 4 conrt
nnd then In the superior court, and is
now awaiting a decision noon appeal
to the superior court. Should the
higher courts of the state decide
that the. a t 'touching the anti-color
clause' l constitutional, the law' will
be rigidly enforced throughout the
Btate.
NECESSITY OF THE LAW...
Dealers In oleomargarine have the
right to sell it under the act of as
sembly, providing they secure a 11
cense from the state, and providing
they sell It for what it Is, properly
marked, In order that the public may
not be deceived. The greater amount
of attention has been paid by the
agents to the suppression of the sale
of oleomargarine for butter, although
the other food products that are fre
quently adulterated are not neglected,
und m;iny samples are turned In to the
chemist for analysis, showing the
grave necessity for the existence of
this dairy and food department under
the state government.
The most beneficial result of the uv
furcement of the law is In the way of
preventing adulteration. If It were
rot for the vigilance of the agents the
whole tone of the trnde would be de
moralized in a short while. The mar
ket would soon be flooded with adul
terants.
The work of the food and dairy com
missioner of Governor Stone'sadmlnls
tration had been so distinguished that
Major Wells was elected president of
the National Association of Food and
Dairy Commissioners. This honor was
given to him In recognition of the great
progress made In Pennsylvania's sys
tem of laws and methods of admlniS'
tratlon. PerhaDS the greatest achieve
ment of the department has been the Qrcat Preparations For the Re-
in the form of "renovated" butter and publican State Convention.
nit: im!-mikj in me law preventing
fraudulent sales of pure butter. It is a
far more Injurious article than oleo
margarine, eecoring to all authorities
and acrordlng to the common knowl
edge of the people. It formerly went
for soap. The movement against this
renovated butter has been followed by
legislation In seven or eight states,
copied after the statute drawn by Com-
rii'.siKoner ueiis and adopted In Penn
eylvnnla. The movement has culm!
nated in the agitation for national leg
islation on the subject. A bill is now
pending In congress. This and the elec
tion of Commissioner WellB as the
prcsldi nt of the National Association
of Dairy nnd Food Commissioners
shows h'iw Pennsylvania has been rec
cgnized as leading the country In the
pure roou movement.
STAMPING OUT IMPURITY.
Major Wells states that In the fiscal
year 189X to lSli'J. following the de
tlsion declaring the first oleomarga
rine law unconstitutional, about 11
(00 ,'mjo pounds of the stuff was sold in
Pennsylvania. There waslittlerestralnt
fcince the new and more stringent leg
islation was passed the sale has vastly
flecreased. He could only estimate how
much it had fallen off, but agreed that
the amount of renovated butter sold
In this state is now many times the
amount of oleomargarine. There are
460 dealers licensed to sell oleomarga
rine, and it la estimated that they sell
on an average of 250 pounds a week,
which would amount to 7,500 pounds
a year. It is believed that there Is
20 times as much renovated butter sold
as there is oleomargarine. Probably
5 per cent of all the articles consumed
for butter la the state Is really oelo
margarine. The people of this state
produce about 100,000.000 pounds of
pure butter and consume about 220,
000,000 of the yellow article, whether
It be butter, oleo or what.
Commissioner Wells said tnai ran
cid butter is gathered up in great quan
tities In the west, shipper nere anu
turned into the "renovated" article by
boiling out the fat and pulling u
through milk. It is a far more inju
rious article than oleomargarine. wlt&
out the vigorous enforcement of the
law the market would be flooded with
this product displayed for creamery
butter, and would do Infinite Injury to
the farmers of this state.
'Our great aim has been me iair,
thorough and general enforcement of
the law," said Major Wells, "and after
having pursued that purpose with all
diligence with the six chemists and the
IT agents at our command we feel we
have made a conscientious errort to
perform our full duty and that our re
sults speak for themselves."
PROFESSOR HAMILTON'S REPORT.
In a renort to Governor Stone out
lining the work of this branch of the
department of agriculture, since the
passage of the "pure food bill," Secre
tary of Agriculture John Hamilton last
week said:
'Thnt Immediately UDon the law go
ing Into effect there were printed and
distributed to dealers throughout the
state 10.000 copies of the oleomargarine
law, and 10,000 copies of the renovated
butter law. Suitable record books were
prepared and a form of license nnd
placards were printed and agents were
instructed to take samples oi suspecieu
eood for analysis. The report of the
commissioner shows that during the
year ending Dec. 31, 1899, 402 suspected
samples of oleomargarine were taken
and analyzed, 75 of these were rouna
to be wire butter, 2T renovated butter
and 3011 wer oleomargarine. I . . i
During the year 251 prosecutions ror
selling oleomargarine ware brought. Of
these 100 cases were brought to a ter
mination, either by magistrates or ig
nored by grand Jurloe: 80 cases were
pending Per. 31,' 1S99. Since Jan.
1. 190fl. '417 licenses to sell oleomarga
rine have been Issued, and one license
has been taken out for the manufac
ture of oleomnrgarlne. The chemists'
reports are not all in, but the number
of samples analyzed or oleomargarine
reported as having been made since
Jan. 1, l!0fl, Is 107. A number of sam
ples are in the hands of the chemists
awaiting analysis. Our attorneys re
port that they have brought suits in
oleomargarine cases, to the number of
nbout 120, and of these over 70 are in
the city of Philadelphia. ' v
The department has been rmnar-
rassed In its dealing with the oleomar
garine question, owing to a contest In
tho courts over the color clause of the
late law. This provision has been con
tested both In Pittsburg nnd Philadel
phia, and cases were brought In eac
city to test Its constitutionality. De
cisions by the lower courts sustaining
the law were rendered. In December,
1899, and In January, 1900. These cases
were annealed to the superior court.
and one Philadelphia case was argued
In March, and a decision Is expected
In he cours of a week or two,-when
the court convenes. Every effort has
been made to push these cases and the
courts, at the request of our attorneys,
have advanced thera on the list.
"If.ii favorable decision Is handed
down the way will Ithen be clear for a
more vigorous enforcement "of the law,
nnd pending this decision the depart
ment is collecting evidence ana 18 an
ready to bring additional prosecutions
ns anon as the Jaw la. oeciaron to oe
constitutional. The courts of Philadel
phia and Pittsburg are greatly burden
ed with the rout It tide of cases that they
are called upon to hear, and 6ur attor-
neys in Philadelphia, in order to secure
prompt henTtng, have . communicated
with the district attorney, requesting
that the cases be heard at as early a
date as possible. A reply has been re-
reived from the district attorney stat
ing that he had instructed the assistant
district attorney to confer with our
attorneys and collect the cases together
and proceed with them with all dili
gence.
"The oleomargarine cases, however,
are only a portion of the large number
that the pure food department is called
upon to bring to trial. ' The total num
ber of samples taken by the agents last
year. Including oleomargarine, was
1,109, and of these 1,026 were analyzed
and- a large number of suits were
brought, taxing both the time of our
attorneys and that of the court.

(Special Correspondence.)
Harriaburg, April 17. Arrangements
are being made for the entertainment
of a very large crowd at the Republi
can state convention, which will be
held here on the 25th Inst. The fact
that this Is presidential year, with the
interest being taken by the party work
era throughout the commonwealth in
the coming national Republican con'
vention In Philadelphia, will tend to
add to the throng that will gather here
to help name the eight delegates at
large to the national convention, noml
nate the presidential electoral ticket
and nut the other candidates in tho
field.
The local Republicans are going to
decorate their buildings, and the town
will put on a holiday attire for the oc
casion. A number of large delegations
will be on hand to advance tha inter
ests of the several candidates for hon
ors from the convention, and each
county will be represented by its local
Republican leaders and many of their
active liou tenants.
TO DECLARE FOR M KINLEY.
Pennsylvania Republicans at their
last state convention went on record
In the most unqualified manner, under
the leadership of Colonel Quay, Sena
tor Penrose. Governor Stone, Attorney
General Elkln. General Reeder and the
other leaders of the stalwart element,
in favor of the renominatlon of Presi
dent McKinley in a sturdy endorsement
of his administration. The Keystone
commonwealth was one of the first in
the Union to declare through the Re
publican organization for McKInley's
renominatlon. ana mis senuuiem. w
be reaffirmed here next week with em
phasis.
Colonel Quay may not be here to
take part, although many of hla friends
are urging him to come, but he will
be the recognized leader of the organ
ization, and unless he positively de
niina. tho hnnnr hn will head the Hat
of delegates-at-large to the national
convention, which will virtually maao
him chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation.
Senator Penrose wm noi oe aum
reach here before the morning on
which the convention will be held. He
proposes to remain in Washington un
til after the vote In tne quay case nau
be taken. This la put down for 4
o'clock next Tuesday afternoon, ana
while the announced purpose or tne op
ponents of Colonel Quay Is to do their
utmost to defer final action on the
matter, there Is every reason to believe
that before the state convention shall
be assembled Colonel Quay will have
been awarded the seat to which he is
entitled In the United States senate.
As the nominee of the Republican
caucus Colonel Quay should have been
chosen senator at the last session of
the legislature. It has been a time
honored custom among Republicans
and Democrats as well throughout the
country to recognize the choice of the
majority, nnd ns such tne ueaver
stntpmnn should have had the votes
of all the Republican members of the
last legislature. Dy claiming that tney
could not vote for him while his trial
was on In Philadelphia In the infamous
conspiracy case, the insurgents tried
to make it appear that there was Justi
fication for their action auring tne
deadlock In the legislature. But with
Quay's acquittal Immediately after the
adjournment of the legislature It was
assumed that men claiming to be Re
publicans would have repented of their
action In blocking the election of a Re
publican to the United States senate.
Many of them no doubt did, but the
Flinn-Martln leadership continued
their personal hostility and securea
counsel to fight Colonel Quay at Wash
ington and try to prevent nis neing
seated. After another desperate cam
paign they find that they are In a los
ing cause and that Colonel Quay is go
ing to defeat them despite the expendi
ture of the Immense sums of money
necessary to carry on their guerrilla
warfare.
A QUESTION OF CASH.
A great ado has been made about the
case of Senator Clark, of Montana, and
the money which he Is said to have
spent to secure a seat in the United
States senate. Men who have been in
touch with practical politics In Penn
sylvania during the last nve years can
bear testimony to the fact that the
money spent In Senator Clark s inter
ests Is but small In proportion to the
trrpnt eorruntlon fund which has been
omnlnved aealnst Colonel Quay, Sen-
ntor Penrose, Governor stone anu me
other men at the head of the regular
Republican organization of Pennsyl
vania.
The so-called Insurgent leaders nave
made lavish use of money to carry on
their flehts In the various counties.
They have distributed cash In almost
fabulous amounts to accomplish their
nnrnose. Thev have spent hundreds
of dollars where Senator Clark's friends
have spent one. nnd still they have not
been able to stifle the will of the peo
ple or misguide the voters Into the be
lief that their claims as reformers or
disinterested citizens are worthy of any
consideration.
The entire Insurgent outfit of Penn
sylvania will not be able to muster
one-third of the delegates to the Re
nubllcan state convention which will
meet here next week. They will not be
factors In the mapping out of the pro
gram for the nominations or the decla
rations In the platform. They will be
so ignomlnlously In the minority that
they might as well remain at home for
all the Influence they will nave upon
the action of the convention. The Mar
tins, the Flinns and the men of kindred
Interests are not wanted as leaders of
the Republican organiratlon of the
Keystone state, and the sooner fuey
realize this the better for them.
There hni been no radical change In
the situation as regards the probable
nominees for place on the state ticket.
The selection of Senator E. IJ. Har-
denbergh. of Wayne, for auditor gen
eral is practically conceded. He has
made a canvass and has the pledges of
manv of the delegates. His services
at Harriaburg have given him an op
portunity to meet many of the active
Republicans of the commonwealth, and
he has the faculty or making ana Keep
Ing friends. He will have many per
sonal supporters In the several delega-
tlons who will see to it that his In
terests are not neglected. Senator Har
denbergh has secured headquarters at
the Ixichiel hotel, and will be accom
panled by a committee of Republicans
from his own and neighboring counties
to keep his boom to the front.
The field candidates for congress-
men-at-large includes George T. Oliver
of Allegheny, Dr. T. L. Flood of Craw
ford. W. C. Arnold of Clearfield, John
R. Steel of Westmoreland and G. A
Grow of Susquehanna. The talk of
Phlladelphlan being presented to th
convention by the delegation from that
city continues to excite Interest, and
It Is not Improbable that a strong bus!
ness man or manufacturer familiar
with the needs of the Delaware harbor
will be agreed upon by the delegates
from the Quaker City. A meeting of
the delegation from Philadelphia will
be held within the next few days, when
this matter will be discussed.
At the Republican primary elections
on Saturday the stalwarts carried Dau
phin, Columbia, Elk and Mifflin coun
ties, while, after a bitter fight, the Ach
eson forces retained control in Wash
ington, defeating the followers of Bar-Mtt
ONE LESSON ENOUGH.
THE STORY OF AN ENGINEER WHO
SLEPT WHILE ON DUTY.
GAMBLING ON A LINER.
. Tarllllaa- Rid tha Ea af Walch
Seemed to Threaten a Fearfal
Wreck and Awful Loae of Llfa A
Karrow and Lack? Escape.
"There Is something about railroading
that conduces to sleep. It may be the
rumble that causes drowsiness, it may
be the long hours on duty, but lu many
cases, iu my judguieut, it Is the failure
of the employees to secure needed rest
when they have the opportunity. During
my 20 years' experience as a driver of
the iron hone I knew of hundreds of
severe wrecks due entirely to some one
being 'asleep on the post of duty.' Even
the responsibility imposed on the man
would not have the effect of causing him
to keep awake."
The speaker was one of the oldest rail
road engineers in the country, who, after
20 years in charge of the throttle of a
locomotive, voluntarily resigned to see
other pursuits not so dangerous or excit
ing. A Question or two about the oia
times put the ex-rnilroader in a talkative
mood, and he continued:
"But once In my railroad career did I
turn my engine over to my fireman and
go back to the caboose for a little rest.
and tho narrow escape that 1 then naa
from a sever wreck and the killing and
wounding of hundreds of sleeping passen
gers taught me a lesson that was never
forgotteu. The incident occurred In Illi
nois in February, 1S70. At that time I
was running an engine nulling a fast
freight on the Illinois Central railroad.
Mv fireman was a young man whom l
hod instructed In all that be knew about
railroading. My health was not of the
best at that time, as I had been an an
nual victim of the ague that pervades
southern Illinois, nnd my system was
shattered from the 'shakes.' In addition
there was some sickness among the mem
bers of my family, with the result that
mv night at home would be broken up
in looking after the comfort or the lovea
. . . i ,
ones, llusiness on uie rauroau n ua !,
and there was a heavy passenger tratlic
due to the annual Mardi Gras celebration
in New Orleans.
'On the night in question my train
was running south. I had a. 014 foot
Rogers engine aud was hauling 40 load
ed cars. Alone nbout 10 o'clock 1 found
that I could hardly keep my eyes open,
The road ahead of me was clear of trains
for an hour or more. About the only
thine of Importance In view was to meet
nnd nnss the Chiengo express at smicnn-
da. which was 24 miles away. 1 then
yielded to temptation. Tleclng my fire
man In charge of tho throttle, witn me
head brakeman to do the firing, I went
back to the caboose to secure a little rest,
I should not have taken this step it I had
not reposed every confidence iu my fire
man, and I believed that he was thor
oughly competent to ran the engine.
"How long I slept I do not know, but
I awoke with the premonition that some
thing was wrong. As I regained my
senses I realized by the swaying of the
train that it was running much faster
than it would have been had I been in
charge of the throttle. There was a
heavy down grade for five miles to the
point where I was to meet the express,
and my first thought was that we had
struck the grade and gained the impetus.
"Springing to my feet, I hurried out
the front door of the caboose nnd clinih
cd to the top of the first freight car. The
sluht that met my eyes nearly paralyied
me. There in full view I saw the ncna
light of the heavily loaded express train
waiting at Makanda for my train to
take the sidetrack and permit it to pass.
How I got over that tram to my engine
I hardly know. But I did.
"Jumping down on the tender, 1
sprang into the cab, shut off the throttle
and took other means to reduce the mo
mentum. I glanced nt my Lreman. lie
was sound asleep on the scat The bead
brakeman kept him company on the oth
er side. I realised that it was utterly
impossible to stop the speed of the train.
and I had visions of the awful wreck
that would follow. My engine was mak
Ing 43 miles an hour, being propcllel by
the heavily laden cars in the rear, and
certain destruction seemed to face the
express and the hundreds of sleeping
oasseneers.
"As the rules required thnt I Bhould
stop nnd, after the head brakeman had
opened the switch, should pull by the
passenger train there seemed to be no
way to avert the disaster. All these
thoughts flew through my brain in a
twinkling, and as I expected to meet
death at my post I wondered who would
care for my two boys who would become
orphans.
"Fortunately the siding was a short
one. and that fact, coupled with my rep
utation as a careful engineer, prevented
the disaster at the critical moment and
saved the lives of many. The engineer
of the pnssenger train divined from the
rumble made by my train that something
unusual had happened. He told me art
erward that he knew I would not have
approached thnt meeting place at such a
rate of speed If everything was oil right
"When my train was about 300 yards
from the express, I snw a man run from
the engine of the express nnd throw the
Witch for me. At the some time I could
see by the swinging of a lantern in the
rear of the express thnt the switch at the
other end of the siding had also been
opened. The disaster had been averted.
My train dnshed on to the sidetrock, past
the express and then out on the main
trsck again at the rate of 35 miles an
hour, and I could not bring It to a stand
still until I was more than two miles past
the station.
"You can imagine the effect upon the
express if the engineer had not acted as
be did. It is needless for me to naa thnt
during the rcmninder of my career on the
rail I never left my engine again in
charge of that fireman or any other fire
man. One such lesson was enough for
me.
"Naturally my fireman was much cha
grined over his act, but I never had con
fidence In him afterward. He hnd been
tried in the balance and found wonting,
A few years Inter he was promoted to lie
an engineer and hnd been running his
