War on Chicago Dressed Beef.

New York Cor. Chicago News.l
Most of the New York papers arc friendly
to Chicago dressed beef, and tho people in
general are delighted with it, as 1t makes
something better than n very thin and very
tough rump steak possible for the poor man.
The butchers say dressed beef arrives here in
bad condition; Mr.. Phil Armour says live
steers arrive here sick, feverish, bruised and
beaten. Both sides do not seem to be par,
ticular in telling the exact truth. AS a mat
ter of fact. some OF the dressed beef is in bad
condition when it gets here, and as another
fact, some of the live steers are in equally
bad condition, but neither are ruined.
TIT butchers claim that ether and Ammonia
arc used in preparing the dressed beef, and
they probably lie. Ammonia Is used in The
cheinical-frcezing process, to be sure, but not
n drop ever touches the beef, although the
cars arrive in Jersey City with the odor of a
drug store about them. The claim that ether
is used is also untrue, hut the dressed beef, Us
the frost leaves it, does give out an odoI
similar to ether greatly diluted-the odor of
n feverish child's breath is nearer to It. What
II it doesf One of the leading health inspect.
ors told me when | wasi in Jersey City nosing
around the beef-cars that all fresh dressed
beef gave out n slight feverish odor, and ths
absence Of tho odor would go to prove that it
was not rcsh-especially in the %sirloin, ten
derloiu and porterhouse cats, or the entire
saddle. for TINT matter.
Meanwhile the signs Chicago dressed beef
sold here" arc becoming more and more nu.
merous in New York and Brooklyn, and il
the approaching summer is passed without
any great grounds for complaint the dressed
beef trade will be fairly well fixed before
next year, and the New York slaughter
houses will have to go. The business is us yet
in its infancy, and years must elapse ere il
becomes permanently established. People in
this section of country are inclined to be
conservative, and don't so slap-bang into
new things. a la the wild west.

tJoe Howard.1
The Bowery had its ups and downs. OF
late years attempts lave been made to re-
vive its legitimate glories, but until the
present management took hold its light was
dim and its luster lacked fire. A year or 50
ago its interior was somewhat changed; the
old benches in the pit were taken out and
the orchestra chair replaced them. As it
now stnnds, its magnificent stage faces seats
for 5000 people, Mt rs cents in tho orchestra,
90 cents in the dress circle, So cents in tho
family circle, and 20 cents in the upper gal
leries. The present manager is making the
theatre popular and profitable as the scene
of melodramatic performances. For in
stance, last week the house was packed by
the play based on the true story OF tho Warm
Spring Indian chief.
/ went to see it, and confess l was embnr-
raised between my interest in the people on
the stage aud the people in the gallery. But
the audience was n sumner In tho first
place every seat was filled, and that means
5000 human beings. OF those, l dare say,
900 were boys-street boys, ~boot-blncl,s,
newsboys, little ~loafors, bright eyed, tangle-
haired gamins, who are much better critics
than any of us. 1t was n treat to see them
guy the villain Of the piece. 1t was a warm
tribute OF universal sympathy for the
under dog they paid, when, at every
step Of tho Warm Spring Indian to-
ward civilization and social triumph,
they hi-hied themselves hoarso and
clapped their hands until they were red as
beets. These boys want good music and
plenty Of it They insist upon perfect time,
and mark it with their feet. They indulge
in verbal criticism, and, as a rule, tolerate n
difference OF opinion. An usher with a rat
tan rap5 them into perfect silence at the
proper moment, but n hundred ushers, with
six-feet rails, couldn't rap them silent unless
common sense endorsed their demand.
Whether these times are an Improvement
on the old times is n question. Prejudice,
perhaps, influences all our old friends, and
the newspapers give very little information
on the subject As the Lord tempers the
wind TO the shorn lamb, so, doubtless, each
generation has an idea that its developments
are better than those Of any other. That's
comfortable, anyhow.

To lay upon his little lips
The kisses six OF Song.
This is the kiss shall make him long
To drink she softly sighed,

That ne'er is satisfied.
"This is the kiss shall ope the eva
And stimulate the brain
To see what others never saw
And he can ne'er attain.
"This is the kiss shall charm his lips
So that his whole life long
There honey bees of thought shall hive
The singing sweets of Song.
"And here the kiss of Wandering

That he may for possession have
Desire and unrest.
"And this shall be the kiss of Love,
His life to consecrato
To her that shall be lost too soon,
Or be found out too late.
"These are the kisses five | give

A SMALL caliber joker in a Connecticut
t9g9 wrote a sensational article which
purported to describe a rum on a bank
there. The result was that Tie leading
banking institution of the town was finan-
cially embarrassed BY a heavy. run Of its
small depositors before the silly Joker had
a chance to explain thit his article bore
reference to a gravel bank. Alleged
newspaper men with humorous streaks of
this kind waste their exuberant talent in

SUNDAY OnsERyATIoNs.
Happenings on the abbat Day as Mo-
ted by Our Reporter.

teu Dy our reporter.
The weather on Sunday was a little
uncertain but warm for the greater part of
the time.
One or two expressmen were around
through the streets shouting IAN aboard
for the races which reminded one of the
times when Sunday was the day of all
days in Cheyenne.
Some soldiers and Others got to playing
ball at the Court house corner just as
people were passing along to church.
Sheriff Sharpless interfered and put n
stop to it.
There were two funerals held at about
the same hour, which are mentioned else
where, and this is something that has
seldom happened in the history of Chey-
enne before.
A flag was hung in the rear of the
pulpit of the Congregational church ON
account of the Grand Army services in
the evening.
All of the churches were well attended
in the forenoon, but, of course, in the
evening the Union services at the Con
gregational church proved the great
attraction.
Rev. Il. L. Chapman, who preached in
the forenoon, was in the afternoon, shortly
after having drank Il cup of coffee, taken
suddenly i'll and was for II time unconsc-
ious. He was, therefore, unable to at
tcnG the Union services in the evening,
which was a source of much regret to all.
He was considerably better yesterday, and
it is hoped hat he will be around again in
a day or two.
The Grand Army boys greatly diminish
ed the stosk OF white gloves of A. Polack
which they procured to wear to
the Union services. One of them was
heard to say that the last pair of white
gloves he ever had before he used TO swab
out his muskct with at the battle of Fred
ericksburg.
The Sons of Veterans, by invitation,
gathered with the Grand Army at the G.
A. r. headquarters and marched with
them to the Congregational church to at
tend the Union services.
Mrs. John Chase sent a basket of beau
tiful roses to the Congregational church
for the pulpit.
The Congregationalists were presented
with a contribution plate by Mrs. A. II.
Reel. This is the fourth present of the
kind.
Rev. II. r. Case told the Congregation
alists in the morning something of his
work as Sunday school missionary in Col
orado and elsewhere. 1t was quite enter
tanning.
There were no services at the Jail on
Sunday and the attempt to ~evangelize
the hard cases confined in that place ap-
pears to have been abandoned. 1t is
probably just as well, for our reporter
happens to know that the most of the
prisoners in the Jail do not appreciate
very much anything which is calculated to
be of service to them.
Services were held in the afternoon at
the County hospital under the auspices Of
the Baptists.
The committee and also others of the
Grand Army visited the cemetery toward
evening and proceeded to hunt up and
mark the graves of the cx-Union soldiers
buried there, in order that they may be
found on Decoration day.
The Grand Army post gave j. d.

Forty Years Ago.

New York Sun.
Collins were very plain and burial
Baskets were unknown.
Tombstones had larger pitaphs and
more verbosity engraved upon them.
Eggs were shilling dozen, and
butter was considered high at Is cents
per pound.
Much of the SILVER CURRENCY, Alps,
lev,es and dollars, was of Mexican and
Spanish coinage.
The country retail trade was much
better, as people conId not SO easily
run to the city 10y rail.
Business letters were more volum-
nous and formal, and were written in
precise, round hand.
There was York currency, eight
shilinos to the dollar, and New Eng
land currency, six shiIlings to the dol
lar.
The diet was more surcharged Will
grease, the winter breakfast usual,
being made of sailed ham and no
cakes.
The bank bills were of State banks
and the further west their locality thu

diana bills would barely pass in New

Bread was home made. Coffee wa

grinding Of the family coffee mil wa
a familiar sound hours before the chii

Negro minstrrlsv was just croppln!
out in the travelling circus. Their
were generally but two performers
who assumed male and female charac
tiers. The popular melody was 'JumI

People did not live as long as the

LET THE INVESTIGATION PROCEED.

The selection Of Judge Roseborough
by the Grand Jury as their counsel
still meets acrimonious disapproval
hy many, but the prevailing sentiment
seems to be that, after all, the Grand
Jury were honest in selecting him,
and, all things considered, did for the
best to all concerned. Jud &c Rose
borough is former resident of this
Territory, perfectly familiar with our
statutes, and comes here at every
term of court His ability is great,
his integrity unlucstioncd. 10 be
sure, he is man of strong personal
prejudices and Democrat, but he is
too scholarly to be petty, too fair
minded to be unjust.
As to the investigation itself, no one
seems to object to it. The county
officials say that, if they have done any
thing wrong, they donot know it, and
are perfectly willing to have it polntec
cut to them. The taxpayers and ever
the taxpayers are anxious to have
it proceed, because th%y trml y believe
that grave frauds will be unearthed
The TIMES, which was the first au'
for months the onl y paper, to complain
of the conduct of county affairs, cal
certainly not object, even if it wishe'
to, since the outcome will be com
plete vindication Of its course.
Everybody being agreed on tn
subject, let the stiga,ion go on, b
all means.
And even though it should cost
few thousand dollars, it will not b
too expensive if any 90 q is accom-
plishcd and the taxpayers money
saved.
The article IN last mig ht's TINE
was misconstrucd, The TINES wi
NEVER be in favor of concealln
fraud, when fraud shall exist. 1t cal
not afford to. But it may have its prete
ences as to the means to be taken
unearth frauds, If any there be.
