General Abbott was the princi- pa] speaker and referred to matters perta to tha service, telling of-the plans war department in rela- tion to the national guard and touch- ing upon matters of special interest to corrpary commanders. He made sev- eral svggestions regarding the coming inspections whersby the guard might make & bétter showing than in fpormer years, and the necessity of thorough knowledge of guard duty and of nong commissioned officers being posted in all branches of their duties. General Abbott announced that the national guard was soon to be equipped with new uniforms to consist of cotton khaki for summer and woolen khaki for winter, together with new dress uni- forms. He announced that the date of the annual encampment of the Coast Artillery corps companies had been fixed for the week of July 9 at the Narragansett bay forts, while the squadren of cavally, field artillery and signal corps would go into camp July 23 at Quonsett Point. All commissioned officers will be re- quested to report at Fort Greble July & for four days’ additional instruction, for which pay will ba allowed.

The remainder of the programme was confined principally to the reports of state and chapter officers and committees. Milo M. Clarke of Westerly writes interestingly on the question of clean poultry in @ New York paper as fol- lows: “Under the heading Marketing of Poultry in the Tribune of Jan. 31 a letter is published, Expert Opinion in Favor of Prevailing Methods, signed Paul J. Aldrich of The National Pro- visioner. As a marketman of more than forty years' experience, I must side with the view of the rich states forcibly the reason for pre. valling methods of dressing poultry, but in this day of agitation for pure food and better sanitary conditions something can be said in favor of adopting methods which tha National Provisioner admits ‘obtains in small country places.’ “Mr. Aldrich gives what he terms ‘the government verdict on the subject® by quoting Dr. Pennimgton of the de- partment of agriculture saying: ‘Un drawn poultry decomposes more slowly than does poultry which has been either | W partly or wholly eviscerated.’ This verdict should not be taken as final. Much can be sald in favor of better methods. Why insist that poultry should decompose more slowly, or de- compose at all? Rather than excuse prevailing methods on any terms. let poultry users insist on fresh dressed poultry, drawn at the time of killing, and so handled as to pfetect it from ‘the action of the air, -dirt, the attack of varieties of harmful bacteria and files. The present method of refriger- ation, cold storage, etc, will permit shipping and marketing drawn poultry and conserve health and decency. ““There is no thought of insisting that other meats shall be treated to ‘de- compose more slowly’ A pig would be uneatable from snout to tail if handled as Mr, Aldrich insists is necessary in the marketing of poultry. Public taste can easily be educated td better con- ditions. The writer i1s a townsman of Horace Vose, the ‘turkey king,’ and let me say that the justly famous Rhode Island turkey owes its popularity Targely to the fact that the turkeys are drawn et the time of killing.” Henry Jones, a Virg’l‘;uln by birth, whose apparent aae is 70 or more, was before Judgs Williams in the Third district court Friday, charged with stealing four fowl of the value of four dollars, the property of Luizi Lalla, from his coop in Pearl street on the night of Jan. 26. Jones told the court plainly that he swiped the chickens and declared that if tha court would make it easy for him this time he would steal chickens no moah. Judge Williams declardd that the statutes fixed the penalty and he had no aitermative but to sentenca him to three months in the Providence county_jall and to pay a fine of $20 and costh. Jones said that he first came to Westerly about sixteen vears ago and had spent a part of that time in Nor- eral times for that he had nevah befoah bzen arrested in Westerly.

The appeal of Postmaster Campbell of hicago to users of the mails, that hey place return addresses on their letters and packages, would not be un- reasonable, even under ordinary ecir- cumstances. When, however, one con= siders that nearly 400,000 lefters, post cards and packages received at the Chicago post office in the month of January could not be delivered be. cause they were misdirected, and will, therefore, have to be send to the Dead Letter office, the postmaster’s appeal seems amply warranted and worthy of attention. The postal laws require that all undelivered mail shall be kept in the post office thirty days from the time of its receipt there, before it can be forwarded to the Dead Letter office. It cannot fail to be understood that such an immense amount of unclaimed mail as that which accumulated in the Chicago post office last month causes congestion in the office and works to the deriment of the service.
