THE RICHMOND PALIADIU3I AND SUX TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, lOlO.v PAGE THREE. IS NAME GIVEN THEM So Barnard Styles Peddlers Who Sell Oleomargarine for Butter. HE DENOUNCES DEALERS FOR SELLING THIS PRODUCT FOR BUTTER, ALTHOUGH HE SAYS "OLEO" IS REALLY A VERY GOOD FOOD. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 18. "Moonshin erb" is what 11. E. Barnard, state those peddlers and hucksters who go out over the state selling oleomargar ine for butter. He applies that name because he says they are violators of the federal law and that they carry on their illegal business just as the moonshine whiskey makers and sell ers carry on their business in the Tennessee hills. He does not de nounce oleomargarine as a food. On the other hand he says it is a good food, but he does denounce the meth ods of these hucksters and peddlers in selling it. In his monthly report of the work done by the food department, Mr. Harnard says: "Of the thirteen but ter samples examined nine proved to be oleomargarine. Most of these sam ples were purchased from men who posed as peddlers or hucksters but who were in reality cleverly disguis ed agents of illicit oleomargarine houses. While there can be no possi ble objection to oleomargarine as food product, the large profits which can be made by selling it for butter, and especially when the seller is willing to risk detection by agents of the in ternal revenue department and colors oleomargarine in imitation of butter and thus evades the payment of the 10 per cent tax to the government, of fer so great a temptation that the oleomargarine business Is to no small extent conducted by moonshiners in quite the same way as the illegal whiskey business. The removal of the tax on colored oleomargarine would no doubt take away the incen tive to defraud and tend to place the oleomargarine business on a better busities basis. There is no real rea son why the coloring of oleomargar ine should be practically prohibited ""by the federal government, when the coloring of butter and cheese is per mitted without restriction. It is hoped that oleomargarine may some time occupy its rightful place as a legiti mate food product of undoubted merit and that its sale for what it is will be unhampered by any restrictions other than those which the government may see fit to impose upon' it for the purpose of falsing revenue. And even such a tax should, it would seem, bet ter be levied upon articles which are not used as food and consumed for the most part by the poorer classes.

The Brothers are acrobats of considera ble skill aijd pantomimists of unlim ited resources. The surprise in the way of unexpected disappearances somersaults into third story windows, vaulting over walls and through walls where there is apparently no opening, and innumerable other tricks of the nimble performers keep the audience wondering and laughing without ces sation. Nothing could possibly be funnier than the horse and the car riage in which the lovers were to elope, which is made the means of some surprising acrobatic feats. This scene terminates by the com plete revolution of the ship, the pas sengers turning over with it. Besides the Byrne Brothers there are several other excellent members of the company who introduce taking specialties. The Golden Girl. "The Golden Girl," fresh from a season's triumph in Chicago, where it has crowded two theaters for nearly a year, comes to the Gennett Satur day, February 26, matinee and night. The wonderful stage effects, brilliant electrical display and gorgeous cos tuming makes of "The Golden Girl" what might almost be called a spec tacular extravaganza, were it not for the well defined plot and strong dram atic situations that are never lost sight of throughout the performance. Perhaps no one realizes more than Mr. Singer that the day has arrived when it is necessary to give amuse ment seekers in the smallest of the one night stands, the same complete, high class production as that offered in New York and Chicago. He has al ways believed in this theory, which is substantiated by the road compan ies that have visited this city under his management. At the Murray.

East Chicago, in Lake county, had a death rate of 33.3 for each thousand of pop ulation, an enormous rate. This was by far the highest in the state.

The monthly bulletin of the state board of health for December has just been issued, and it gives inter esting figures on the death rate for December. The figures for the cities having more than 10.000 population are as follows: Death Rate in Cities Indianapolis, 16.5; Evansville, 15.7; Fort Wayne, ICl.ti; TeYre Haute, i:;.t!; South Bend, 16.7; Anderson, 15.6; Co lumbus, 12.9; East Chicago, 33.3; Elk hart, 13.1; El wood, 6.8; Hammond, 12.3; Jeffersonville, 11.8; Kokomo, 21.1; Lafayette, 16.3; Laport, 23.5; Logansport, 14.8; Marion, 12.1; Mich igan City, 6.4; Muncie, 17.8; New Al bany, 12.3; Peru. 17.9; Richmond, 19.8; Vincennes, 17.7.

The figures show that the northern sanitary section, composed of counties in the north one third of the state had the lowest death rate, 11.2. The central section had a rate of 13.4, and the southern section had 11.6. Birth Rate in the State. The north part of the state carried off high and low honors in the birth rate for December. St. Joseph coun ty had the highest birth rate, 27.8 and Steuben had the lowest, 8.2. The total births in the state for December were 4,105. Of these 2,136 were males and 1,969 were females. The total birth rate for the state was IS. 3 per 1.000 population. This an excess of 7 over the death rate. Of the total nuber of births 4,038 were white and 67 ne groes. It is interesting to note that the to tal death rate for the cities of the state was 15.1, while the total rate among the rural population of 1.682, 240 was 10.4. There were 105 violent deaths in In diana during the preceding December. Of the violent deaths 6 were murders, 26 suicides 163 accidental.

His Text. The three-year-old son of a Metho dist minister was with his mother at a gathering of ladies. At the proper time he was given a cooky. lie ate it in short order and asked for another. The hostess said : "I'll give you another if you will sing for us." "Can't sing," was his reply, "but 1 know something I can say." "That will do all right." the lady an swered, expecting to hear "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," or some other nursery classic. But the little fellow drew himself up in real Sunday school fashion and said his piece: "God loveth a cheerful giTer." The lady gave him the cooky, and the whole company seemed to be very cheerful about it. Harper's Magazine. A Water Telescope. Norwegian fishermen use a water telescope to ascertain the position of the herring shoals. This is the way to make the water telescope: Procure a tube made of tin and fun nel shaped about three aDd a half feet long and ten inches in diameter at the largest end. It should be wide enough at the top to take in the observer's eyes, and the inside should be painted black. At the bottom, or wide end. a clear, thick piece of glass must be in serted, with a little lead in the form of a ring to weight the tube. When the instrument is immersed in clear water It is astonishing how many fathoms down the observer can see. The Sybarites. The Sybarites were the inhabitants of the ancient city of Sybaris, ia southern Italy, founded 720 B. C.

The word "syba rite" is used at the present day to de note a person devoted to luxury and pleasure. NOT AMERICANIZED IS THIS RUSSIAN SINGER ,. mm. Mine.

THEY ARE INSOLENT ROGUES Sneers end Caustie Advice Are Show ered Upon These Who Engage Them. On Wet or Festal Days the Cabbies Spurn These Who Want to Ride. Among Ar?lo-Saxons there is a gen eral and instinctive desire to do busi ness on the basis of an entente cor diale. In Paris the hailing of a cab man is looked on by both parties to the transaction as an implied declara tion of war. The cabman takes your measure, and you take his number if you are wise. At once he will give you a reason to remark that he has a rooted and premeditated objection to drive you where you wish to go. Per- ; haps he prefers the opera quarter be- . cause it is central, or should the weath- ; er be flue his heart is probably set ' upon driving in the Bois, while you . may have business at the bourse. lie j explains his views ou the subject self- j ishly and rudely. A foreigner alighted recently from ; the Calais train at the Northern rail- . way station in Paris and ordered a ; typical Parisian cnbman, bloated, pale and absinth soaked, to drive him to the Kue Bluroet. which is a street in the relatively distant Vaugirurd quar- ; ter. "Peut on habiter la Rue Bloinet?" ("Is it possible to Inhabit the Kue Bloinet?") exclaimed the ragged ruf fian lu an epigrammatic note of dis dain which would have done honor to Beau Brummel. But it Is when tbe Paris cabman has once started on his "course." a war path in the strict sense of the term, that he proves to what a limitless ex tent lie is the enemy of mankind. His ' hatred of the bourgeois." the "man ia the street," in spite of and Indeed be cause of his being a potential client, is expressed at every yard. He con stantly tries to ruu him down, which makes strangers to Paris accuse the Paris cabman of driving badly, while in point of fact he is not driving at all, but playing with miraculous skill a game of bis own w hich suggests can non billiards In the hands of a world's champion. Hut it is not with the public alone that bo is at war. Ou all other cal men whose path he crosses, on omni bus drivers, motorcar men. bicyclists, private coachmen, costermongers with barrows and tsotto voce the police he heaps deadly insults, the least outra geous of which are Ours!" ("Bear!") aud "Fourneau:" ("Oven!"), the latter containing a subtle double meaning, intelligible only to those who have Paris "argot" or slang at their finger ends and too long to explain. Tbo cabman's wild career through the streets, the constant wavering and slashing of his pitiless whip, his mad cap hurtlements and collisions, the frenzied gesticulations which he ex changes with his "fare." the panic stricken flight of the agonized women Vihose lives be has endangered, the ugly rustics which the public occasion ally makes at him with a view to lynching him. the sprawlings and fall ings of his maddened, hysterical, starv ing horse, contribute as much as any thing to the spasmodic intensity, the electric blue fire diablerie, which are characteristic of the general move ment of Paris. All that can be said in mitigation of the Paris cabman's method is that "he has them in the blood." Every Parisian (and the cabman is no excep tion) has tbe soul of a dictator and the spirit of an artist. To exercise au tocratic power and. failing this, to" en joy the maximum of personal freedom from all restraint, moral or social, is the goal at which ho is ever aiming, openly or .secretly. Watch a Paris cabman, for instance, on a wet day or on some festival oc casion, such as the New Year, when there is a big demand for his services. With what haughty disdain does he drive along the streets, deaf to every appeal, refusing every fare, rejoicing in the discomfort and Inconvenience he is causing, triumphant in the thought that at last he has "the bour geois" at his feet; that the clientele which be detests and which detests him is now a humiliated, bemuddled or bedraggled mob of supplicants waiting on his will, whom he can en rage to boiling point with his sneers and bis silence or lash with his sat casms as cruelly as be beats bis horse Cheerfully does be sacrifice half a day's earnings to the enjoyment of this exquisite revenge, for at least he can say to his hungry wife and chil dren when he gets home. "J'al vecu." They may not have dined, but be has lived. It is because the Parisian recognizes in himself a certain community of sentiment with the cabman in this at titude toward life that he tolerates him, though he does not forgive him. Hamper's Weekly. Her Only Course. Lady Anne Lindsay, the author of the old poem "Aald Robin Gray," was not only a delightful conversationalist, but she was a great story teller. This gtft made her not only a wel come guest abroad, bat a valuable member of the home circle, for it is related in "A Group of Scottish Wo men" that at a dinner party which she was giving: to some friends an old manservant caused forr.e amusement by sayinj in a perfectly audible un dertone: "My lady, you must tell another story.

An inspector one day visited a coun try school taught by a young lady and in the course of the lessons said: "Now. children. I wish you to take notice of what I do and then write an account of It." Then he stepped to the blackboard and wrote a sentence upon It. All the chlldreu except one wrote in effect that the "master" came into the school aud wrote on the blackboard, "1 love a good school." One little girl, however, followed in structions more literally and complet ed the story by adding: "And then he went to the platform, sat down, played with his watch chain, twirled his mustache and winked at the lady teacher."
