PURE FOOD LAW VIOLATED. Intere?i;n~ TVlets Coneorninc the l{oa*tinff u. . ..urr ".I. ?. llxyerts?Presence of Kactcria. Toi.epo. August 10th?The jury in Ji:ugv> Meck's court in this city has found James White, a local grocer, guilty of selling adulterated coffee. The prosecution was based on a package of Ariosa coffee. The State of Ohio, through the Pure I'ocd Commission, prosecuted White. The case was on trial for nearly a month, and attracted national attentk tlon. Ths manufacturers cf Ariosa coffee conducted the defense for Oroeer White. Attorneys of eminence were retained to defend him. but after a short consultation a verdict 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 depart im ut has been successful. The complaint of the State of Ohio was that Ariosa coffee was coated with a substance which concealed defects in tl:o coffee and made it appear better than it is. The State charged this coating or glazing was a favorable medium for th- propagation of bacteria. 1'i'O!. J\irciuii.-iirr, vi mis cn.v, n w*!l known chemist. was the principal witness for the State. He testified that he had made scientitic examinations of samples of Ariosa purchased from Grocer White in the open market, and found that each berry contained an average of "0) bacteria. Mr. Kirehmaier farther testiliod that other coffees he examined contained few bacteria or none at ail. lie declared that the glazed eoL\c was not a wholesome food product. Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, corroborated t.ie testimony of Prof. If irchmaier. The State did not present * .rihor testimony. The defense secured some of the most eminent chemists and scientists In the United States to give testimony in their behalf. Prof. II. W. Wiley, of th? United States Agricultural Department: I'rof. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor University; Frofs. BIci'e and Webber, of the Ohio State University, were railed to defend Ariosa. Dr. Wiley made a careful examination of the method of manufacturing. lie told of the 1U,OOtOOO eggs used yearly in the preparation 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 for a year or two at a time. The experts who heard Dr. Wiley's testimony were pleased to listen to so famous a chemist. The elect r at one point in his testimony rpinincd very clearly how it is that the egg put into the coffee pot by the housewife settles the coffee. He snhl that tiie heat coagulates me egg, and as it sinks to the bottom of the pot it carries the line policies of coffee with if. and thus clarifies the drink. It is the act of coagulation in the coffee pot that does the work. Later on in his cross examination, he admitted that when the egg was put 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 readied the coffee pot. Professor Wiley acknowledged that the glazing might be a favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria. although he would not testify positively either way because he was not a bacteriologist. Professor Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, also a witness for the defense, said he found bacteria on Ariosa coffee. Professor Bleilo. another witness for the defense, testified l:e found any number of lively bacteria ou Ariosa coffee be examined, and agreed that glazed coffee surely was a more favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria than unjlazed? coffee. Pure Pood Commissioner Blackburn says: "The State is very much elated over its victory. We are now concldering the advisability of iuforiuiug every grocer in the State of Ohio that it is au infraction of the laws to se'l Ariosa. and at the same tiiue give warniug to consumers that the coffee is an adulterated food article.*' The verdict of the jury in this case is of national importance because a ^ gr<:'.t many oilier States have pure fcod laws like that of Ohio, and it is natural to suppose that similar action will he taken by other Pure Food Commissioners to prevent the sale of glazed coffees. It is downrieht hard work to have faith ia some people. Sv. 83. Sharps and Plats. John D .Rockefeller is said to b? contemplating the purchase of a residence in South England.

Subject: Abraham'* Intercession, Gon. xvlii., 16-33?Golden Text, Jaine* v., 16? Memory Verses, 23?25? Commentary on the Day's Lesson. Introduction.?Our lesson contains the preliminary events of one of the most awful tragedies in the world's history. The cup of Sodom's iniouity was full, making that city ripe for destruction. Although God i9 merciful yet He will not always strive with man, and there is a line which J individuals or nations cannot cross with [ impunity. The only safe place is in the mountain, far away from the smoking plain. In Abraham's prayer we see his great faith, his humility, his charity and his boldness. 16. "The men." The three angels. "Toward Sodom." "As with the Lord there is mercy, so He is the God to whom vengeance belongs." They looked toward Sodom for the purpose of destroying it. "Went with them." Public roads did not exist and guides were necessary. 1" 1 liidp''" "That is T will not hide." Abraham was the "friend" of God. and "communication of secrets is one of the special privileges of friendship." The way to know the divine purposes about this present evil world is not to be mixed up with it in its schemes and speculations, but to be entirely separated from it. The more closely we walk with God. the more we shall know Kis mind about every thing. "Thing which I do." Which I purpose doing, or am about to do. (Jod gave Abraham the look of kindness and j love, but to Sodom it was a look of indignation and wrath. The right hand of the judge implies his left. 18. "Mighty nation." The Jewish ration. 'VShall be blessed in him." "The J world" would be blessed in the Messiah that was to spring from Abraham. IP. "I know him." His character and destiny. "Will command his children." He not only prayed with his family, but he taught and commanded them, and was "prophet and kine. as well as priest." Abraham made it his business to promote practical religion in his family, and this is j given as the reason why God would make known to him llis purpose concerning Sodom. 20. "Cry?is great." That is, these cities have sinned very grievously. 21. "I will go down." I will incjuire into the facts. God could not have neon in doubt, but He desires to show to Abraham that He was not judginz hastily, or without full knowledge of all the facts. 22. "The men turned " etc. The two angels who accompanied Jehovah were now sent toward Sodom, while the third, which is called the Lord or Jehovah, remained with Abraham. As God is never seen in any bodily shape, consequently the great angel of the covenant, Jesus Christ, must be meant. 23. "Abraham drew near." (1) In bodily presence, (2) in spiritual nearness. (S) in holy fervency. (4) with boldness. (5) in humility. (61 with confidence. "Wilt Thou also destroy." It is a principle of justice that the righteous shall not be punished for the crimes of the wicked, and this | Abraham lays down as the foundation of , his supplications. 24. "Fifty righteous." These were more j righteous t)ian existed in the city. We j would not even know that Lot was right- j eous had not the apostle Peter told u?. Put true charity and goodness always hope the best and not the worst. 25. "Shall not the Judge?do right?'' "Abraham must have had divine teaching concerning the fact that Jehovah was the world's Judge." This implies that God would certainly do right, although Abraham might not see how. 26. "If I find?1 will spare." So faith* ; fully would God protect His chosen ones j when appealed to by Abraham in their behalf. Nor does this go to show that He will not protect them unless urged to do so by others. It does show, however, the power and value of prayer. 27. "Du?t and asnes." Dust is my ori- j gin and ashes is my end. By these ex- ' pressions lie shows how deeply his soul | was humbled in the presence of God. They j who stand nearest to God are the most ] humble. The boldness of prayer must be j ever tempered with humility. 28. "There shall lack." The safety of the city being granted on the condition that fifty righteous could be found, Abraham takes courage and asks still larger things. He drops to forty-five, then to J- .1. ._ .... ... iorty. men to uurij, men iu mcun, i finally to ten. He was climbing the ladder ' of *ope and faith; with each promise he I took courage to ask for more; he grew I into larger visions of God's goodness. 32. "But this once." Abraham's inter* I cession was limited because t?he interces- j sor was but a man; it did not reach the { need. He said, I will speak yet but this j once, and there he stopped short, as if afraid of having presented too large a draft ; at the treasury of infinite grace, or forget- j ting that faith's check was never yet dis- j honored at God's bank. It was not that i God was not able to give, for there was an j abundance of grace and patience in Him to have harkened to His servant bad he . proceeded to three or one; but the servant 1 was limited, and afraid of overdrawing his : account. He ceased to ask and God ceased j to give. Not so our blessed Intercessor; j of Him it can be said. "He is able to save j to the uttermost?seeing He ever liveth ! to make intercession." May our hearts 1 c.ing to Kim in all our need, our weakness , and our conflict. 33. "The Lord went His way." The angel?Jehovah?with whom Abraham had been communing, went-lfis way. Abraham's p.aver was answered, though not in the way he expected. 1. The righteous were delivered from the city. 2. By the destruction of the city righteousness was promoted. Sin was bringing forth death; such vile cities would contaminate and corrupt the race; the cancer must be cut out, lest the whole being be destroyed. In chapter 19 we have an account of the ; destruction of Sodom and the cities of the plain. The two angels that left Abraham went to Sodom (19: 1). where they were received kindly by Lot. but shntnefullv | used by the people of Sodom. The angels i told Lot to warn his friends to flee, for * il - -*a.. T_ t hey had been sent to uestroy me my, m i the morning the angel- hastoned Lot. his I wife and his two daughters. telling them to leave the city and not to look back lest they be consumed. Lot's v.ife looked back and became a pillar of sait. It was not enough tor Lot to go outside the walls of the city, but they were commanded to leave the p'ain. Spiritually, these who stay in the plain are those who do not forsake all their sins, and who rest in conviction and good resolutions without haviuj been truly converted.

A new Sunday closing movement was I announced last week by the Grocery ! Clerks' Union, of New York city, which j was formed recently. As the Bench- j men's Association of Butchers did about three months ago. the grocery clerk will agitate for the closing of the stores on Sunday in order that the cierKS may oe aoie 10 auenu enurcn. At present many of the stores are kept open on Sunday forenoons to arcom- I modate customers. The grocery clerks will appeal to the clergy to assist in their Sunday-closing movement and j customers are asked to co-operate in the agitation by purchasing on Saturday everything they needed for Sandays. CURRENT NOTES. The oldest, if not the senior, of British princes has just completed fifty-one years' tenure of his dukedom of Cambridge. in which he succeeded his father. Prince Adolphus. on July 8. 1850. The Duke is the only Briton who has held a dukedom for fifty-one years. What makes his case the more remarkable is that his father held the dukedom for almost forty-nine years. Thus father and son have together held it for ' a century, a thing without a parallel i in the modern history of the British j peerage. ' Rapid* progress is being made upon the new subway beneath the River I Thames, communicating Poplar on the one side with Greenwich upon the oth- j er.
