Completion of Series From Designs
by Prof. Louis Am&teis of
Washington.
New bronze doors to complete the series
of entrance doors to the Capitol have ar.
rived here and will be placed in the main

height.
Figures in Transom Design.
In the design of the transom figures
represent America in a chariot drawn
by lions and led by a child, signifying
superiority of intellectual over brute
force. Beside the chariot are figures
representing the scholar, architecture,
literature, painting, music, sculpture, mining,
commerce and industry. On one side
of the transom panels is a figure of
Thomas Jefferson and on the other side
a figure of Benjamin Franklin* Medallions
at the four corners represent Peabody.
founder of educational institutions;
Emerson, philosopher; Horace Mann, educator.
and Hopkins, merchant and philanthropist.
Symbolic Scenes Represented.
In the eight panels, four on each of the
heavy doors, are scenes symbolic of jurisprudence,
science, art, mining, agriculture,
electricity, commerce and engineering.
and on the sides of these panels are
statuettes of famous Americans.

GOODS MARKED INEDIBLE.
Alleged Plan of Manufacturers to
Evade Pood Inspection Laws.
In an effort to protect the reputation
of American meat stufTs abroad, the
Department of Agriculture last week
arrested the manager of a melting
company in Pittsburg. The charge;
was of introducing uninspected food
products into interstate and foreign
commerce. The defendant was after- j .
ward released on $2,500 bail.
The trouble at the bottom of the arrest,
it is explained, was that the com-j 7
pany had been shipping and selling ; I
abroad, and to some extent in this j
pAiintrv an priihip animal-nil murkpii i .
inedible. The oil was the product of a,
all sorts of meat scraps, some from di
regularly inspected abattoirs and E
some from local butcher shops, where R
there was only state inspection, if . '
there was any. The railroads could [,
not handle the uninspected stuff in in-1 ?
terstate and foreign commerce If it
was marked for human use. It is
claimed by the department that the defendant
marked the oil inedible and ?
that it was sold largely abroad for J
edible purposes.
This lowered the foreign esteem of 3
our meat inspection and thg prosecu- ?
tions were instituted. It was said at
the department that while this was F
the first arrest, there would be others
in the same line, as inspectors report- ?
ed that many other concerns were resorting
to the same artifice to get their
shipments carried by the railroads.
The Veterans and Soldiers' Homes, f
To the Editor of TUr Star: *
Your article on the dollar-a-day pension ?
proposition in Ohio, printed in Monday's
naner. nromnts me to say that it would be Fl
a good deal better to give the majority of j?
the veterans of the civil war a dollar a jj
day and let them live out of the national
and state homes. There is now appropriated
each year nearly $0,000,<KN> for the =
support of the nine national homes and
the state homes, and in the nine national ?
homes the land and buildings are valued O
at fl5.00l>,000 and they are continually
buildlng at all these homes. At the I
Hampton. Va., home they spent over T
$500,000 last year and this year the sarr 1
and they have over 500 empty beds there
uini. In the nine national homes there
are over 3.000 empty beds at this present
time. There are too many big pensioners
in these nine national homes living off B?
the government, over 2,000 getting $2d _
per month; some as high as $4n. Some
have farms, houses and lots outside. A
large majority of the old soldiers would i"!
get out of these homes if they could get
or $30 monthly. Force them out and
close up four of these homes; the food
they get is poor. Nearly 500 were made W
siek at the Mountain Branch, Tenn., A1
home about seven days ago bv eating
pudding for supper, made out of stale
bread. This has happened twice in the <
. ft
ast six months. Representative Jam at
H. Cox of Ohio has a resolution to tnve??
igate these homes. The corn beef they
ret is full of saltpeter. Fried bologna
sausage Is on the bill of fare. 1 have
seen a member of six of these national
tomes twenty years, staying from three
o seven months. Conditions are such
hat I cannot stand them any longer.
Die food Is mostly cooked by steam. II
nakes members ill and the> take medl Ine
all the time. Seventeen thousand are
iresent In these nine national homes now.
