UNDER TUE PURE FOOD LAW'S u Louis Grocer Tined for Selling Ahm Baking Powder. MISSOURI STATUTE FULLY ENFORCED dataller taavlrted of ealH. Articles Held ta Ba Deleterlea "enteaerd to ray Flae f 10U Ears. 8t I,oiilg Republic. The alum baking powder run wer de aided In tht court of criminal correction Monday morning br Judga Clark. Th ver dict In tha rate of th Great Western Tea Coffee company. No. 725 Franklin avenue, was "guilty of the Bale of baking powder containing alum violation of the pure, food law of Missouri." lie fine assessed by Judge Clark waa $100. By agreement between counsel, F. N. Judson and 8. 8. Bass for the atate and T. B. Harvey for the defenae, the verdict In this cae la to apply also to three others. They are B. Wolterlng. J. O. Fauat and ). E. Taule, charged with selling Bon Boo, Raiser and Bloasom baking powders con Ulnlng alum. Five other cases on which the testimony would have been the same were nolle prossed by the state at the con clualon of the trials last week. This was lone In order that the retail dealers should not be given too great Inconvenience, a tha Intention of the attorneya for the state waa to get a conviction and demonstrate thereby the validity of the atate's pure food law, which Interdicts the use of alum In all food producta In this state on the ground that It la a deleterious substance and dangerous to tha health of the public. Thi la the second time that the pure-food law ha been vindicated In Missouri In ref erence to the sale of poisonous baking powders. In the other case, that of the atate against Whitney Layton, now of East St. Louis, the defendant .was convicted as a manufacturer of making and selling alum baking powder. A fine of $100 was s eased. Tha case was appealed by Layton to the supreme court of the state. The supreme court handed down a decision In the case that affirmed the finding of the lower court i the rwod that the leg lslature had a right t" protect the health of the public by proper police laws, and that, aa alum had been declared in the Engliah courts and In other foreign coun tries to be an Improper and unhealthy Ingredient In food the law 'was undoubt edly valid The supreme court also re ferred to the fact that baking powders and other food products containing alum were excluded from the commissary ration of the armies of the United States and of Great Britain, another point showing It to be un der the band of suspicion os a Substance dangerous to the public health. The manufacturers of the alum baking powder have made a hard fight td contlnu their sale In this state. The law that pro hibits the sale of the alum baking powder was paaaed by tbe legislature In 1898. Ttai Brat case, that of Layton, came up In 1890. While It wa pending In the supreme court la 1901. a determined effort was made to repeal the law before the legislature than In session. The bill was reported from the senate committee unfavorably and in lan guage that atamped alum as one of the most dangerous of Ingredients used in food. The senate committee's report also took fling at the powerful lobby that was ma n talned at Jefferson City bv the so-called alum baking pewder trust. The report gave the names et the various manufacturers In the United States, a long list of them, who comprised this trust. . Srnator James Or chard waa' the chairman of tnls committee and It waa to his efforts lod those of his feltow-commltteemen that the failure of the bill waa due. In Judge Clark's opinion In the pressnt caaes he atated that the defense bad shown through eminent chemists that their baking powder was made with C. T. 8. or cream tartar substitute. The chemical component! of this substance, aa shown by tbe defense, were agreed to by the eminent chemists for tbe atate, who positively asserted that they constituted "burnt alum." In other words Judge Clark'a decision waa that C. T. 8. waa. In effect, commercial alum, and there fore Ita use wss a violation of the pure food law of the state. Its use under tome other name than alum, which It Is, cannot exempt either tbe manufacturer or the Vender from prosecution' and conviction under a broad law framed for the purpose of protecting the health of the public from the use of alum or other substances of a deleterloue and dangerous character. Mr. Judson. counsel for the state, stated Monday that It was the Intention to con tinue the prosecutions In Missouri of deal era who continued to sell baking powdsrs which were made with alum or O. T. 8. Time will be allowed for the present decl alon of Judge Clark to become known, and If cases of violation of the law are then found manufacturer and wholesale grocers will be arrestee1 wherever evidence Is obtained against them of such sale.

At 7 o'clock Sunday morning the depart ment waa called to Nineteenth and Hick ory streets to extinguish a small Ore that threatened to destroy a culvert, the prop erty of the Burlington Railroad company The blaie originated from the burning of some trash by a crowd of small boys. Very little damage waa done. Amusements. At the flora. Williams and Walker and their aggrega (Ion proved magnetic enough Sunday after noon and evening to test the sestlng ca pacity of the Qpyd theater to It fullest extent and likewise the laughing propensity of those who occupied the aeata. But a few years sgo this pair entered the dra matic field and today they are perch :d comfortably on the top rung of tha ladder of fame aa colored entertainers. Bert Wil liams could make an Egyptian mummy laugh with hie dry droll comedy, while George Walker la the black Chesterfield of tbe American atage. He wears ewell clothes with the grace of a John Drew and la not a bad alnger In the bargain. Their vehicle, "Tbe Sons of Ham," Is the same in name as they offered here a season ago, but by the addition of new music, new comedy and new speclalttea It hai been brought thoroughly up to the minute and would not be recognised a the aame piece, The new song, "My Little Zulu Babe," In the first act, by Williams and Walker, Is not only well sung, but cleverly presented as well. The scene opens with ft tropical setting and shows Mr. Walker in tbe cos tume of a Zulu princess. After the first verse Mr. William enter In tbe guise of a Zulu warrior. -A chorus of dusky Zulu maidens concealed behind palms make their appearance opportunely and the general ef fect la decidedly pleasing. Miss Walker's "Hannah from Savannah," with grotesque dance won aeveral rounda of applause. George Catlin'a Chinese Impersonations were realistic. Mr. William' song, "The Phrenologist Coon," was a big hit, while Mr. Walker's "Elegant Darkey Dan" and "Leader of the Ball" won encores at both performances. All of tbe specialties are praiseworthy and the entertainment highly commendable throughout. ' The engagement conttnuea Monday and Tueaday bights, with a special matinee Tuesday afternoon. At the Orphean. The entertainment offered at the Orpbeum for the present week baa no expenalve feature acts, but Is purely a variety bill, thoroughly clean In every respect and every act worthy of commendation for some one thing cr another. It would be un just to the others to say that any one of tho seven on tbe program made a greater hit with either tbe matinee or evening audience than another. Considered purely from an artistic standpoint the musical act of the five Noeses is perhapa entitled to the distinction of being given first mention Their act is done In front of a special stage setting, showing a Venetian scene. Tbe members of the troup arrive In a gon dola and correctly costumed do a musical act which easily excells anything of the kind that baa been offered at this theater during tbe season. The comedy acrobatic act of the three Blossoms also prove to be tbe peer of it kind In vaudeville. Louise Dresser, who is considered tbe Lillian Rus sell of the vaudeville stage, offers a nov elty In the rendition of a burlesque illus trated picture aong. At both performance the audience waa leath to let Mis Dresser leave the stage. Jack Norworth ha n qual as a monologue comedian; HI stories are new and quite original, while hi par ed lee are beyond comparison."' He ts doing his act In white face this season, which, adds to It entertaining value. Jessie Couthoul tells stories and recltea in such n pleasing manner that the audience la un. able to get enough of her act, and last night she was forced to respond to encore after encore until she was too fatigued to do anything more. The four Colllnls, fancy dancers, Scott and Wilson, comedians, and the klnedrom complete bill well worth seeing. Mlaea'a Tracadero. The Trocadero bad an excellent attraction yeaterday in tbe "Thoroughbred Burles quers," who gave satisfaction at both per. formancea In a program that was thoroughly appreciated. Th entertainment opened with the usual first part. In which the entire company par ticipated in songs, dialogue and specialties.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. March 0. (Special.) Al though the republic of Cuba will be formally Installed, according to the present pro tram, May 20, with a full republican form of government, there Is a wldespresd belief that Cuba will not exist as a separate na tion for ft longer period than Ave year at the most. Nearly every American who haa returned from Cuba during the last few months, and there have been scores af Americana In Washington, asserts that the bpslness ele ment or tne island is practically unanimous In tbe belief that Cuba must ba annexed to the United States la order to exist at all. Naturally, the island is So closely identi fied In It business Interest with this coun try that the tariff exist Ins between tha two nations must prove burdensome In the extreme to tbe new republic. All talk of concession contemplates, the .reduction of dutUs to only a slight degree, so that eves should the program of the president and the republican leader of the house be adopted It would prove but ft temporary means of relief. The amount of American capital Invested in Cuba is far greater than la aranerallv auppoeed. The American Interest on the Island are bound to predominate commer cially from the outset and naturally those Interests will have aa Important bearing upon the political future of tbe Island, it Is to be assumed, therefore, according to the best posted men, that but year or two will elapse before the demand for annexa tion will be as widespread aa waa the de mand for political Indeoendence four veara ago. A a state or territory of the United Btatea, prosperity I bound to come to Cuba, but as an Independent nation, with a tariff wan raised against It in Europe and America, many believe the Island eon ti little better off than during the Spanish re gime. . Reaard Oleo Bill as lalqaltoas. Little activity has been manifested hr the manufacturers of oleomargarine in opposing the,-called Tawaey bill In the senrte. Thi apparent lack of Interest has caused some surprise among those who did not know the reason for tht letharrv. it la WrnaA however, on reliable authority, that every member of tbe cabinet, with the alngle ex ception of Secretary Wilson, looks upon the bill as It passed the house aa an InlnultAiia meaaure. Thle la based upon tbe assertion recently made by Attorney General Knox that the bill I clearly unconstitutional. The same authority - asaarta nt v. president would veto the measure beyond doubt but for his knowledge that there is a widespread demand for ImrlaiatiA as the Tawney bill la to absolutely break f iu. uieomarganne interest.

COINAGE OF THE PHILIPPINES New Silver A ate r lea a Dlae Is ta Take tha Place at tha Familiar Mealcaa Peaa. WASHINGTON, March 30. In view of the prominence In congress of the subject of a circulating medium In the Philippine islands, the division of Insular affairs. De partment of War, has prepared the follow ing Interesting account of the existing coins In our Asiatic archipelago. The proposition is to provide ft silver coin for the Philippines to take the place of the Mexican peso, which for years ha had an exclusive hold a the coin ot account In th current trade and trafflo transitions of tbe mainland and archipelagoes ot east ern Asia. The Idea of special coins for colonial de pendencies distinct from those cf tbe realm Is bv no means new. In fact. It is as old as the colonial system of Great Britain In th now United States of America and apparently originated for use right here on our own soli within about five years of the first permanent foothold of the white man on the North American continent. About the year 1613-15 a coin known as tbe "hogge money." on account of that animal being atamDed on It, was Issued by the English crown in shillings snd six pences for circulation by the Virginia com pany. But two of tha former and one of the latter coins are known to have sur vived the" lapse of nearly three centuries and are priceless In historical Interest. Nor waa thta the only Instance ot a colon ;al coinage provided by the mother country for circulation among ita American sub leota. The first mint In the now United States was established bv the general court ot MaSBaohueett at Boston. May 27, 1652, In denominations of shilling, sixpence and threepence, and known ft the "pine tree money." It continued until 1683, whed tbe mint master. John Hull, died, and the mintage ended colncldently. Lord Baltimore had shillings, alxpence and pennies coined In England for hla Maryland colony In America In 1661. A monopoly for coining "tokens" for America was granted by England In 1722 Tbey were ot a mixed metal, resembling brass, known as the "rose Americana" coinage or "Woods money," William of that name of Wolverhampton, England, having ft corner on the coinage, which had a wide circulation. As ft commercial transaction the United States instituted an Invasion of tha field ot the Mexican peso, with the following result: The coinage act of 1873 provided for the coinage of a "trade" dollar ef 420 gratne of standard silver, not Intended for circulation In th United States, but for M in trade with China and the East. It was practically simply an Ingot of a par tlcular weight and fineness. The cost of coinage was met by the person bringing tne Damon to the mint for coinage. Un intentionally, however. It became a legal tender In the United Statea to the amount of 15, with other subsidiary coins of the country. ,; Ia 1876, through the depreciation of sil ver, tbe 420 grain In the trade dollar fell below 1 in gold, which made Its circula tion on th Pacific coast a source of profit. Tbls compelled the taking away of the legal tender quality of the trad dollar by act of July 22, 1878. In 1877 the trade dollar In the Eaat shared the fat of that In the West by be coming worth lea than fl In currency, whjch waa the circulating medium of that section, which necessitated tbe discontinu ance of th further coinage by order ot the secretary of tha treasury. To this time t35.39,860 had been coined. Most of these trade dollar had been exported, but large number were also In circulation In different parts ot the United State. Th act of March 3, 1887, which became a law without Preatdent Cleveland' signature, provided for the redemption at par of all trade dol lars presented within six months. Of the whole sum coined, $7,689,038 wa presented and redeemed. Of these ft great number had been reimported from China In expec tation ef this climax of the government. The were melted and converted Into sil ver coin and atandard allver dollar. Th condition which embarrassed the circulation of the trade dollar In 1874-1 have ceaaed to exist, so far aa th Phil ippine ar concerned, the United State ha now th power to fix the value and th legal ender quality of whatever coin it may see fit within Its own Jurisdiction, with th logical result of ultimata acceptance a eolna of account in tbe region not dom. Inated by a western nation. The chief medium of exchange In the Philippine Islands Is the Mexican ailver dollar (peso) ot 416 grains of silver of tbe fineness ot 02-1000. In 1887 th Spanish government Issued ft distinctly Filipino peso, which ba cir culated aid by aide with the Mexican sil ver dollar. Th Filipino peso, containing leaa pure ailver than th Mexican dollar, 1 still in circulation, but constitutes only small percentage af the amount of silver In us la the island. Th exchange value of th Mexican dollar fixed by tbe Philip pine commission waa formerly 60 cents, and is new at .the rate of 12.10 for $1.00 gold. Tha colas In current circulation In tbe Philippines are: Spanish Filipino silver peso; Mexican dollar; Filipino silver half dollar; Filipino silver peseta, 20 cents; Filipino ailver half peseta. 10 cents; Fili pino copper cnartoa and centavoa. A een tavo la 1 cent and a cuarto 1-160 ef dol lar; 1 cuarto 1 0 01 2-8 of a dollar; 20 cuarto ar 1 real (or llhi cent); 8 real or 100 centavo, or 160 cuartoa art 1 peso or duro.
