Tho police arrived just as two-senre women were stamped- ing for Mrs. Heymann with drawn scls- sors, urged on by 20 men with clubs. When the riot had been quelled Mrs. Heymann told the police a. startling tale of highway robbery. Though there was not a scratch on her she declared that she had been held up, choked, beaten, stuffed into a basket and rob- bed by two giant highwaymen, + Mrs. ‘Heymann and her husband, Jacob, have a sub-contract for one of the biggest clothing stores in Greater New York for the manufacture of ready made clothing.

Strangely enough, Mrs. Heymann made ‘mo mention of the robbery except to her husband until it was time to pay off ber employees to-day, She assembled the men and women on the main floor of the factory and told them the story of the robbery with dramatic emphasis. They latene silence until she wound up with: “And they rob me of ali your money.

Assistant (Diatrict-Attorney Taggart, who has the cases in charge for the Government, was at his office earlier than usual to-day and busily engaged in going over the indictments, Although every effort has been made to keep the public in ignorance of the action to be taken until the papers were ready for presentation by the Grand Jury it 1s learned on unquestioned au- thority that the jury has voted to return indictments against August W.

Bristow, made public by Postmaster-General Payne, 1s startling arraignment of former Post- master-General Charles Emory Smith and his assistant, Perry Heath. It proves conclusively that Perry 8. Heath, now Secretary of the Republi- can National Committee and former First Assistant Postmaster-General, used the Post-Office Department, and particularly the Washington City Post- Office, as a clearing-house for the pay- ment of the political debts contracted by Mark Hanna during the first McKin- ley campaign. Bristow's reply in itself is non-com- mittal, Bristow did not have to speak for himself. He took from his desk the report of two sets of Investigators and appended them to his reply. Tho teports of the investigators show that: Heath forced appointment after ap- pointment on the Washington Post-Of- fice. Pald Irregular Bills. He arbitrarily ordered the payment of bills that had been held up for irreg- ularitles, He paid his own travelling expenses out of the funds of the Washington City Post-OMice, instead of from those of the General Depariment. He had his personal friends drawing two and sometimes three saiaries from the Government while doing no work. He bought supplies recklessly, without competitive bidding, and paid excessive prices therefor. He used the Washington City Post-Of- fice to further the political enda of the Republican party, without regard to pro- tests feom auditors or financial officers or from anybody else.

These samples, as you are aware, were not collected and examined because of any suspicion regarding thelr wholesomeness or genuineness, for they were belisved to be,-as their analysis proves them to be, nutritious and palatable foods. In view, however, of the high prices at which they are sold, and of the extravagant claims put forth by their manufacturers as to their digestibility, nutri- ent power, &c., there exists a widespread demand for information as to what they really are, and how much of all the value claimed for them they really possess.

The public made Grape-Nuts A tremendous success And this startled the long procession of followers, whose facetious names, odd movements and funny pictures have brought more or less derision upon them, for the public mind is shrewd to under- stand that Imitators are fundamentally ignorant of food value, and simply “cook up” something and hire ean advertiser to “copy Post as near as you can.” But the analysis of Government and other prominent chem- ists turns light on the question, and the public can profit thereby.
