Dressed Beef.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Boston OOnmerCldl ouuelnl
The gentlemen who have for years
been engaged in the business of trans
porting beef cattle from the west to
the east-bringing hides and hoofs to
the principal Atlantic citieS-seem to
have been startled by the cry of
Dressed Beef" as though some one
upon the mighty horn of Texas
steer had wound for them second
blast of Roncevalles. Some one hun
dred years ago the cry of beef "
"beef :" resounded through the Amer
lean camp, but the unshod and hungry
patriots of those trying days did not
stop to consider whether the article
was dressed or undreSSed. To-day
Mr.. Vanderbilt sees in his dreams long
lines of his stock-cars resting on dis
used sidings. Mr.. Eastman has Wis
ions of knee-high pigweeds choking
up his stock-yards.
The slaughter-house men, in their
uneasy imaginations, sell their rusty
butcher knives to Junk dealers, and
the superfluous shippers wonder where
in the wide world there will be room
for them. In the good old days, be-
fore railroads were invented, railway
stock watered and railway magnateS
presumed to regulate the prices of the
necessaries of life, men took their dis
placements in a very different spirit
If a man was crowded out of bust
ness by new machine, or better
equipped or more enterprising rival
he cheerfully turned his hand to some
thing else or dropped and died in be.
coming and inotfenSive manner. Mo
nopohes have made men more cantan.
kerous and aggressive. Mr.. Gould gets
red in the face if another man lays q
rail or erects telegraph pole without
his permission and alliance. Mr.. Van,
derbilt will have no nickel-plate and
HooSac tunnel railroads competing
with his own. The Standard oil com.
pany will permit no man to sell g
quart of kerosene unless he buys it u
them. And so it is with other gig;.n.
tic monOpOlies. But nobody blameS
anybody for attempting to protect
their interests, in a legitimate way.
If Vanderbilt and his friends are
going into the dressed beef business in
honest competition with the Chicago
gentlemen at present engaged in the
business, in a legitimate manner, the
public or the man who discusses his
steak at the morning breakfast table
has no right to complain. But if Van.
derbilt and his friends intend to kill of
these firms with the Interior design OF
keeping their cattle cars and stock
yards in profitable use, the consumers
of beef will have the right to complain
for that would be contrary to public
policy, and an impossible barrier tC
cheap beef. The envious dressed-beet
men charge that this is their wicked
purpose.
Let us wait and see if the dressed
beef reform must wait. The public
may be so ungenerous as not to like
Mr.. Vanderbilt's style of doing things
but Vanderbilt generally has his OWL
way. If he has his own way in the
dressed beef business, it is hoped that
the new railway commission, soon t.
be appointed, of the state of New
Y ork, may put the brakes upon Mr.
Vanderbilt's authorised beef train

EDITORIAL NOTES.

An extraordinary demand for dimes
is said to have sprung up, and the sup
ply at the Philadelphia mint is eX-
hausted and the vaults of the trea-
Sury department have been drained.
An order has been sent to Philadel-
phia for the coinage of 100000 worth,
but it is believed that this will not
satisfy the demand, which is thought
to be caused by the manufacturers of
cheap jewelry.
The notorious gambling establish
ment at Monaco is likely soon to be
abolished. The attention of the Ital-
ian parliament is to be called to the
! concern, and other European govern
ments viii support movement for
its suppression. The nefariOus insti-
tuition has brought ruin to thousands
and driven to suicide fifty persons per
| annum on the average, and there
| seems to be general desire to wipe it
| out of existence.
So heavy are the duties in England
on legacieS, annunitieS and the like,
! that it costs a man a fortune to die
there. Property left to his children is
taxed one per cent, if to his brothers
or sisters three per cent is deducted,
if to his uncles or aunts the govern
ment takes three per cent, if to his
great aunts or uncles six per cent, and
| if to no blood relation one-tenth of
the whole is appropriated. y pat
entee has to pay $1,000 to secure his
rights.
There is now a very earnest move
ment in New York to raise money for
the pedestal for the BarthOldi statue,
1t is expected that something like one
| hundred thousand dollars will beraised
in small subscriptions, and those in
charge of the matter will call upon the
railroad companies and hotel people
for the larger contributions. What
amount will be required has not yet
been determined, as the plan of the
pedestal is not prepared, but all the
money that can be raised will doubt
| less be needed.

Typhoid Fever in New England.

L.
1t has long been popular idea, and
shared to considerable extent by
physicians. that typhoid fever is an
tagonistic to malarial fever, and that
a population or locality that is af-
fected to much extent by one of these
diseases will be comparatively free
from the other. There seemed to be
some confirmation of this idea in this
city in the fall of 1881, when there was
much less typhoid fever than usual
for the season and a great amount of
malarial fevers. The present season
there has been much more typhoid
fever than usual in the city, and at the
same time there has been consider
able malarial disease. This has led.
perhaps. to the mixed OF "mongrel''
character of many cases reported as
typhoid fever There has been, ap-
parently, tendency of malarial
diseases to take on a typhoid charac-
ter, giving rise to cases of ''typho-
malarial" fever so-called. There is,
however, portion of the city and of
the adjoining town of Johnston, in
which, we are informed by physicians,
there has been this summer and fall
200 or more cases of true malarial
fever, and in those families not case
of typhoid fever. But the great in
crease of typhoid fever, this fall, has
been very general in this state
and in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
and especially in those portions of
these states where true malariel fevers
have most prevailed in past years.
This change from malarial to typhoid
fever has been noticed at other times
and in other places. and it is supposed
to indicate that the malarial feyers
that have been so prevalent for some
years past are disappearing. This has
been specially noted in the state of
Connecticut, where the wave of ma
laria began some years before it APP
peared in this state.

Decorative Art In Stone.

The process Of etching on stone for
various ornamental purposes has be-
come quite popular in Germany and
is one of the leading industries. The
stone is the same employed in litho-
graphic operations-a sort Of calcare-
Gus slate, slightly porous, of pale
yellowish drab, and sometimes of a
gray neutral tint. The stones, vary
ing in size from one and half to two
and a half inches in thickness, are
squared or cut into the necessary size
and highly polished with pumice stone
and water The design, drawn with
a soft black pencil, is Of conventional
the lines perfectly accurate and sharp,
and filled in with asphalt paint, even
ly and smoothly, by means Of a
medium-siZed brush. This being ac-
complished and the paint quite dry,
the slab is placed in large pail nearly
full of water, with three tablespoon
fuls of acetic acid, the water being
continually stirred with a large
feather, and a tablespoonful more Of
acid added from time to time. After
half an hour the slab is removed and
thoroughly washed with cold water,
so as TO remove all traces Of
the acid, and the asphalt paint
then entirely rubbed away
with turpentine. The effect of the
acid Is to eat away the surface of the
stone, save where the design is pro-
tscted by the asphalt, which, when re-
moved by the turpentine. discloses the
figures still polished in has relief,
while the rest of the stone is dull, the
whole presenting the usual character
istics Of carving, the appearance be-
ing quite artistic and attractive.

FOREIGN NOTES.

There is only one Freemason in the
present French cabinet, but such
prominent statesmen as Gambetta,
Brisson, CaZat, Jules Ferry, Paul,
Bert and Constans are members of the
order.
The British possessions in Australia
cover 3075 square miles. The popu-
lation, white and colored, numbers
1886, 954, by far the greater part being
concentrated in few cities. The debt
of the colonies is already nearly $780,
100000.
The streets of Paris are lighted by
1909 gas lamps and 429 lamps which
burn petroleum and COLA oil. There
are in addition $4,000 jets of gas in the
buildings which belong to the munich
pality, and the total cost of lighting
them is estimated for the current year
at S3,500,OO0.
The rector of Grace church, To-
rontO, sent for a stove dealer on Sun
day, and told him that the range in
his kitchen would not work. The
man found nothing the matter with
it, except that it needed cleaning,
which he refused to do until Monday,
on the plea that he would not break
the Sabbath. He subsequently ac-
cused the clergyman of having tried
| to lead him into sin unnecessarily
and for that the minister eXcOmmuni-
Gated him. The consequence is di-
| vision in the church.
A panic occurred the other day in a
| show at Yeovil fair in England. An
African was exhibited as a specimen
of the most savage people in the world
| and when he had in his hands an aSSe-
gal, and appeared to be forcing his
way through the bars which divided
him from the spectators to attack
them, they suddenly rushed out Of the
place in a state of terror, breaking
down the front woodwork of the
booth, smashing the musical instru-
ments and doing other damage. The
assegai was subsequently suspended

ming the torrent of radicalism, which
menaces the destruction of the present

A FINE TALE
or Bank Robbery and Easy Detection
of the RObber.

Topeka, KAs., Dec. 12.-The fol.
lowing account of the bank robbery
at KinSley is obtained from J. &. Ellis
who came up from Kinsley to-day
The matter has been kept extremely
quiet. On Saturday evening L. G.
BOyce, cashier of the bank, locked the
safe and vault and went to his supper.
e. w. Crawford, county treasurer, has
his office in the rear of the room occu.
pied by the bank. He left the build
ing with the cashier and they returned
together about an hour later. 1t was
then discovered some one had been in
the room in meantime, number OF
coins being scattered about the floors
The cashier unlocked the vault
and safe and then discovered
that $4,000 had been stolen
The burglars evidently had entered
the building from the rear and passed
through the treasurer's Office into the
bank room, panel of the door be
tween the rooms having been broken
Crawford was acquainted with the
combination to the vault, being in the
habit of keeping his books there, but
one else knew it. No powder had
been used; hence the door must have
been unlocked. The entire affair
bears mysterious appearance. 1t is
likely developments will be made in a
day or two. Detectives have been SET
at work, and it is reported the money
has been recovered.
LARNED. KS, Dec. 12.-Intelligenct
received here to-day is that the rob
berry of the Kinsley bank, which oc
CURED last Saturday night and was
reported then, has been traced tC
County Treasurer j. A. Crawford, Of
Edwards county, by means of bunch
of keys and glove dropped at the
door of the vault, and that Crawford
has acknowledged himself guilty and
agrees to surrender the stolen money
which it seems he hid away some
where outside of Kinsley.
