DIR. Edison, chairman of the branch of
the New York board of health having in
charge the unclean trades, and Health
Commissioner Dewolf, visited the slaugh-
ter houses of g. L. Swift and p. ID.

day to examine the artesian water used in
washing dressed carcasses.
A report has recently been circulated
in New York that the beef slaughtered in
these houses WINS washed with Chicago

matter. An analysis made by II New

Armour's slaugLtcr-house by u member
of the New York board of health il
claimed to have shown that the water wa,
more filthy than that obtained from
Chicago hydrunt when the sewer wai
flowing into the crib. DIR. Edison wal
sent to the stock yMds tomakea thorough
investigation.
Both Swift and Armour were found t.
be using water from artesiOn wells SUM
on their premises, and it was the opinion
of the committee that the water annly2et
in New York was waste water Jugs o
water were filled from watering trough
aud directly from the wells, for futur,
analysis. They will be sent to Ney
York. DR.. Dewolf says "It is the sam
water that is obtained at Garfield Park

II. j. Dunbar must Apologize and
Rtennis INST Refund what re won.

Esenis HIust Refund what He Won.
CHroAao, May 13.-The board Of re-
view of the National Trotting Association
has decided two of the most celebrated
cases that have ever come before the
board. The first case for decision was
that of Il. j. Dunbar, Cleveland driver.
He must remain suspended until he apol-
ogizes to President Edwards of the Cleve-
land Driving Park. Dunbar, who is the
driver of Clingstone, had quarrel with
President Edwards ON roadway near
Cleveland but not ON the track. During
the heat of the dispute Dunbar gave voice
to some very opprobious epithets. The
case has become noted by the prominence
of the parties in the trotting world and
by the bitterness with which every step
in the proceedings have been contested.
In addition to acting on the Dunbar
case, the board expelled IL. V. Bemis,
the proprietor of the Hotel Richelieu and
the publisher of the Chicago H0rs6maH.
Bemis was charged with having started
two horses owned and controlled by him
In heat race, which is contrary to the
rules. Hamilton Busbee, editor of the
7UrT, Field and Farm, was the com.
plainant. Bemis has 800, 600 libel suit
against Busbee, growing out of the
charge.
The race in question occurred in 1884
and since then the editors have been
waging war in their respective papers.
The horses Belle + and Onward are ex
PEELED along with Mr.. Bemis. He and
the horses can only be reinstated by re-
funding all the money won on the race al

AsI,ooo sneak Theft.

MADISON, WIS, May IA man entered
the jewelry and music store of A. b.
Vancott last night while Mr.. Vancott was
alone, saying that well-known woman of
this city had sent him to buy an organ.
He engaged Vancott's attention for some
time in examining instruments in the rear
of the store. He finally left the store
without making q purchase, saying that
he would return in an hour with the
woman whom he had named and buy one
of the organs. After the hour had almost
passed Mr.. Yancott discovered that a tray
containing set of diamond ear rings and
Is diamond rings valued at $1,000, had
been stolen and that his till had been
robbed of $40. The theft had evidently
been committed by ''pal" of the man
who examined the organs. No trace of
the thieves has yet been found.

CHICAGO, May 13.--A verdict for
$4,000 has been rendered by Federal
circuit court jury in favor of the United
States against Gen. John A. Macarthur
and his bondsmen, Thomas S. Dobbins,
James Steel, Carlisle Mason, Il. NJ. Hough,
John Ashton, Charles Hopkinson and
Solomon Keehan. The case was suit
by the government to recover money
that General Macarthur was short
when as postmaster at Chicago
he surrendered his Office in 1876.
The defence was that Gen. Macarthur
deposited the money i'll the Cook county
National Bank, which soon after went
into the hands of receiver, who failed
to give credit for the amount deposited
on account of the United States. II was
also claimed by Gen. Macarthur that he
should be credited with $4,000 for worl,
done on government buildingsin Lincoln
Neb., and San Francisco. Only some
1000 of the alleged Offsets were allowed

what In said about the Trip OF
Daiy's company.

New York Evening Post
The departure of Mr.. Augustin DAILY and
hiscompany for England and the European
continent on Saturday Is nm event OF some-
thing more than merely theatrical interest.
MrDaly is one OF the veiy few managers In
this country who are qualified by education,
experience and natural aptitude for the
positions which they occupy and who
understand and try to Illustrate the artistic
possibilities and real significance OF their
profession. Admirers and students OF the
stage would despair of It's future were IL
not for the intelligent efforts OF men like
him and two or three OF his most prominent
rivals, and the hearty support which has
borne witness TO the public appreciation
Of those efforts. MIR. Days company
is unrivaled on this side OF the
Atlantic In representations OF light modern
comedy, and certainly need not fear COM
parison with any organization OF similar
character in EUROPE. II is honestly en-
titled to exhibit itself rs an example OF
American dramatic achievement In most
attractive and varied field, and will dissi-
pate, 1t is to be hoped, some OF the false
Impressions which must have heen created
during the last two or three years by GER
tain pretenders who have disported them
selves In London, and have been accepted
as actors of high standing in America. Mr..
Jefferson, MIR. Booth, Mr.. Barrett and
Mr.. Mccullough have proved by their In
dividual excellence that the dramatic art Is
not neglected here, but their triumphs were
personal, whereas MIR. DAILY trusts to no
one member of his company for success,
whether 1t be artistic or pecuniary. II is be-
cause his company Is essentially American
in its composition. its training, its intelll-
gence, and its methods, that his enterprise
deserves to be watched with sympathetic
interest. The critical praise bestowed upon
his players upon their first excursion across
the sea makes 1t certain that their welcome
this time will be hearty. They will challenge
fortune not only in London but In Liver
pool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Ham
burg, Berlin, and Paris, where they will
find many old friends. In this tour Mr..
Daily, If he be wise, will find double OPP
portunity. Money is good, and his country
men will wish him an abundance OF 1t, but
instruction is better still, and 1t is to be
hoped for his own sake and New York's,
that he will give his actors Il chance OF
studying the best acting In Europe, ms we'll
ms displaying their own abilities.

The rarim and the Nottingham.

The Tariff and the wOrktngman.
New York star.
Every wage Garner in the country is in
terested in securing reduction of tariff
taxation. There are no people who are
more affected by the tax which adds to
the expense of clothes and dwellings and
food. The protected manufacturers as
sert that they desire high rates of duty in
order that they may pay high wages.
This is untrue. They desire high rates
of duty in order that their profits may be
the greater. If they asked for duties for
the worfingmen wages would be much
higher than they are, for the bounties
received by the manufacturers exceed all
the wages paid by them. The pro-
tected monopolies are not the friends
of the workingmen. A high tariff
means limited market, and limited
market, with government incentive to
compete for it, means glut of products,
and consequent stoppage of work. 1t
means small earnings for operatives, and
uncertain employment. For the last three
years the workingmen in the mines and
factories of Pennsylvania have been idle
quite half the time. The idle days are
not counted when the manufacturer talks
about the rate of wages. There is n vast
difference between earnings and rates OF
wages. Moreover, the protected manu-
facturers have not dealt with the working
men as literally as they profess t.
feel. Into a market made con
veniently small they have imported
large numbers of foreign laborerl
for the purpose of lowering wages. West
ern Pennsylvania is crowded with Poles
Hnngarians and Bulgarians, who are con
tent with pittance upon which American
worldngmen would starve. New England
manufacturers have imported foreigl
weavers and spinners, until the supply o
labor is in excess of the demand durin
most of the year. The cry of distres
from these places has been frequent
heard of late, and the tariff is responsible
for the cause. II makes living high an
keeps the demand for labor small aud Ill
certain. The workingmen will be happie
and will have steadier employment an
more satisfactory earnings when the tart
tax shall be reduced.

NIGHT
sHoWsR or DEAD BIRDS.
Attracted by an Electric Light They
Fall 10 the Ground by Hundreds.

AAA w hAC VI
CHICAGO, May TO- Yesterday when the
Waterman of the Board of Trade Building
made his rounds, he found the sidewalks
and streets in front of the tower covered
with dead birds of all sorts. A little later
the electrician came down, and said the
birds had been killed by the electric
light at tho top of the tower. When he
went up to the lantern with several mem
bers of the Board of Trade the roof was
found to be covered with dead birds, and
each of the lamps in the big circle
of light was filled with them,
one globe having eight birds in it. These
birds are of every known variety, and
many unfamiliar species are among the
lot. All shades and colors are there,
scarlet, blue, pink, red, canary, notified
black and white, and there were some
snipe aud plover among them. The
theory is that they were migratory focks
going from south to north, and wer,
attracted by the great light, which killed
them the moment they touched it. Man,
persons were on the street with bags ant
baskets, and in less than two hours tn
sidewalks were cleared, but the roof o
the board is now covered.

The effort now being made by certain
humanitarians TO discourage the wearing
of birds or their plumage by ladies in
their hats is all very good in its way and

her until they have passed through the
hands Of several dealers or middlemen,
and she would not sell them were they
not demanded by her customers. The

spunsible for its being offered as mer-
