MAKING THE MosT OF SrEEE-At
the abattoirs of New York there is moth
ing Of steer lost after it is slaughtered :;
every part Of its substance is used for
some purpose, even to the blood. The
handling of the bullocks after they are
penned up for slaughter is thus described
by correspondent of the New York Bul-
lCtin:
The way they kill 4 steer is this A
man gets in behind the steers and throws
a rope around the hind leg of one. Then
he signals two men who pull on Il wind
lass tilh the .hcad of the steer is above
ground. Then the throat is cut. and the
blood flows into pans. 4 steer generally
gives three panfnls of blood. Then the
lot of savages-the skinner, logger and
cntral trawer-pounce upon the carcass
rs a very hungry man assails a bcefsteak
and in II very short time it is :, carcass
of dressed beef. ready for market The
butchers pay rental for pens for storage
and slaughter, and bring their stock over
the Pennsylvania railroad.
The Abattior company max" every
thing pay profit They salt the hides
down long enough to set the hair. Then
they shake out the salt and ship them to
Europe and all parts of the United States.
The unstable portions of the hide are
made into glue, the horns into buttons.
combs. etc, and the inside of them into
bone lime the bones into various articles
of commerce. The fat is rendered and the
offal made into Il fertilizer at the Meadows
a station about four miles out on the
road from the city, where the hog abat-
tor and the repair shops are situated.

iron tanks and run under a chute pipe 10

The Abattoir Company doe, not allow

How Two Docs DINED ON A STEAK
The Green Bay (Wis.) State Ga.ettc re-
lates the following fable: A larre doc
belonging to one OF our citizens, and who
usually accompanies his master to market
in the capacity of porter, VS. intru>tcd
with fine steak, securely wrapped in
paper, to carry home The animal graspcd
the parcel between his teeth and trottcd
homeward beside his master. A short
distance from the butchers the gentleman
entered another store, leaving the dog
with the parcel standing on the sidewalk.
Shortly two vagabond-looking ours arrived
on the spot and began snuffing about.
Finally the larger of the two ours began
growing and barking at the guardian of
the steak, who stood this sort of thing for
some time. in 4 calm and dignified manner
till, finally, his bullying tormentors prob
ably having applied some opprobrous
epithct to him, he onened his mouth to re
ply. and, of course, dropped the steak to
the ground. The vagabond cur rctreated.
and the other dog, now fully cxasperated,
set Oft in pursuit of him. In an instant
vagabond cur No. 9, who had been stand
ing OFT a short distance, apparently a silent
spectator of the scene, >prang forward
and seized the steak in his mouth and put
OIL IN an opposite direction. Not long
after, and in an alley not fur from the
scene of this little episode, were two ours
holding u high festival over Il rich, Juicy
steak and these two ours were the identi-
cal ones engaged in the transactions pre-
viously related. Who can say that this
was not u put up Job between these two
outcasts of canine SUcictv?"

INDIANAPOLIS, July 18.-The Daily
Ne1os publishes the following interview
with Governor Hendricks, with refer
ence to the special from Saratoga to the
Commercial. Advertiser, New York:
Reporter-Wlll You indicate to the
Ne,os whether or not there is any. truth
in the Associated Press dispatch from
New York, to the effect that such differ.
ences developed between yourself and
Governor Tilden at the Saratoga confer
ence, on the currency question, as to pos
sibly oblige you to repudiate Tilden or
retire yourself from the ticket.
Answer-Really l have seen no such
dispatch as you refer 10.
The reporter promptly produced the
telegram, and the Governor after reading
it aloud continued: 1t is wholly un-
founded in every particular.
Reporter-Was your conference with
Tilden harmonious and satisfactory?
Answer-It was, of course we differ
ed in some immaterial points; but on the
real issues of the compalgn, we were
united. 1t would, indeed, be strange
coincidence TO find two men in the coun-
try, whose opinions on National questions
were in exact harmony.
Reporter-The telegram, then, you
pronounce lacking Of every element of
truth.
Answer-Most decidedly so. The
Commercial. advertiser, referred to in the
kilograms, / suspect is strongly partisan
paper, which readily accounts for the
fabrication to which it gave publicity.
