sWell,n said Senator Hiscock, "that which
has made the most lasting impression on my
mind is the manner in which you Chicago
people kill your hogs have just returned
from visit To the stock yards, and 1t 10 the
most wonderful thing ever saw.
Chicago is indeed proud Of her hog killers
She has the champion pig sticker OF the
world, a man Of the name Of Murphy III
YOU have never seen Murphy at his work you
have missed one Of the soul stirring scenes
with which cultured Chicago abounds. He
Is not q big man, this pig killer, and he
doesn't look 30 very wicked, but no Is brave
and bloody, and his courage is always
screwed to the sticking point. The farms OF
the northwest furnish him victims; thou
sands of men are busily engaged bringing
The sacrifices to his slaughter; many thou
sands more care for his CHASTITY slain. His
keen knife is the dividing line between agri-
culture and commerce. It sends dollars
rolling in golden streams back to the farms,
and starts train loads and ship loads Of food
on their way to the worlds hungry.
l am going to write hitter about pig kill
ing. II certainly IL an honest and useful IL
not proud calling. No man has done more
to build up Chicago, or to bring prosperity
10 the farmers Of the country, than this man
Murphy, modest and industrious man. who
has killed his 5000 or 600 hogs day for the
last fifteen years.
When the victims come from the country
In railway cars, and they do come at the rate
OF 10000 or 200 a day In the season, they
are first driven into the pens OF the great
stock yards, and there the buyers for the
packing houses rs abattoirs are called In
Chicago, take look at them and finally buy
them Of the drover or his commission agent.
| cannot stop to talk about these yards,
which cover square mile Of ground and
have cost to date more than $1,000, OOO-we
must follow tho hog. His new owner drives
him and his fellows over an elevated road
FROM the yards to the pens attached to the
slaughter houses, down into the valley of the
shadow Of death. The victims go from pen TO
pen, urged on by small boys with sharp sticks,
until they reach pen in which two or three
brawny men stand Here the bloody work
begins. These men have in their hands
chains at tho ends Of which are slip loops.
They grab hog by ono of his hind legs, and
before the animal has any notion Of his
danger the cold steel Is fast about his foot.
In another second no finds himself rising in

the dir, tail foremost The hog does not I'M
derstand it, never did and never will,
but perhaps the reader would like to know
that here begins the series Of wonderful pro-
cesses by which steam Is set TO numbering
living things and cutting up their carcasses.
Chicago could never do her butchering in tho
old fashioned way, and so she has brought
machinery to her aid. The chain about the
leg Of this porker whose fate has enlisted our
interest runs overhead about n pulley con-
nected with steam shaft, and man stand
ing up there on a platform moves lever and
the chain begins winding round the pulley.
As the animal rises and the weight of his
overfed self causes the steel to cut into his
flesh, a series of squeals issue from his throat,
but his cries are UNDECIDED In trice the
chain is taken from his foot and he hangs
upon hook which slides along an iron bar.
This bar is inclined downward from the pen,
and as the porker slides along he finds he has
company in his misery, IL that is any salts
faction to him. Three or four Of his fellows
hang there with their heads downward, and
from the throat Of the one farthest along the
red blood is flowing In great stream. Here,
too, stands the sticker in bis glory, his long
hnlie III Ills niiilu anu us ClOtnlnR Us req as
q rose. His feet are ankle deep in blood,
and his ears are continually assailed
by the death cries of his victims,
but he falters not. No man more calm or
methodical than he Count three and his
arm has made quick, firm motion, a lelsurely
lunge, and then from the fat throat Of hog
he draws his blade, the blood holly following
It Count three more. and his arm Is In
motion again. His left hand grnsps the ear
Of another pig, and his right never stops with
the knife. The victims are absolutely help
less, and they slide down ono after another
with their huge Threats exposed in as fair Q
mark as sticker ever wanted. About az fast
Is an athlete puts upa heavy dumb bell the
killer moves his knife forward and back,
each movement costing life and adding q
score or SO Of dollars to the wealth Of the
country.
OF course 1t 10 horrible scene, when you
first look at it. You want to get away as
soon as possible, there isso much blood, and
the beasts squeal SO pitifully, and escaping
steam makes the whole place misty and
gloomy. But on your second visit you find
To scene rather attractive. It becomes post.

lively picturesque, and In Chicago's util-
itarian school OF art it is really an artistic
process Senator Hiscock wondered what
sort OF man that must be who couh stand
there and shed hogshead OF blood
every hour for 81 day, and tho senator
added something to the effect that he should
dislike 20 meet the man in lonely place
after dark. Yet happen to know that
most of these pig stickers, for these are sev-
eral dozen of them at work IN the Chicago
abattoirs in the busy season, are good men,
with pretty homes with books and pianos In
them, and after the sticker has taken or bis
blood soaked clothing, had his bath and bis
supper, he can sit down and discuss politics
or the latest novel like any other intelligent
American citizen. All day long bs has been
killing 800 pigs an hour, hut his killing is
now at an end and onlya malefactor need
fear 10 meet this man Of blood in ne|y
plnce
But again am forgetting the hog. What
becomes OF him' Quivering, kicking,
souealing and bleeding, he slides along the
fatal runway Others are before him, and
he awaits hi. turn to tumble from the iron bar
into vat Of hot water This pause is sup
pose,l 10 be sufficient 70 take out OF him the
breath OF life, and generally is; but have
seen more than one poor porker go squealing
and laundering Into the scalding vat. Still,
no matter, for he is only a hog. He has
been murdered, and now comes the dressing
Of his body. Here again machinery is en-
ployed After soaking for time in the hot
water the workmen float him along to the
end of the vat where he rests over cradle
of wires which is operated by steam, and
which, on motion of lever from the at
tendant, lifts the crcass and turns
it down upon marble slab. A man
then puts a hook in the pigs mbuth,
attaches the hook to an endless chain,
and the steaming mass is drawn toward
the chef-d'nucrp Of tho Chicago gallery
of art. The Russian bath which the pig has
Just had brings him out softer and cleaner
than he ever was before, but the steam bar
boring machine will perform yet greater
wonders for him. First he slides through
cloths which brush the water from his skin,
and then he is squeezed and pulled by the
endless chain through a gauntlet Of nine
wheels, each foot wide at its tire, and all
revolving in direction the reverse Of that
In which the carcass is moving. The per-
ipheries Of these wheels are set with thin
steel blades, except u few which are covered

Members of His Race Give Him a
Warm Welcome to the City.
CHARLESTON, S. c.. March 4-Fifteen
hundred colored people assembled at Mount
Zion church tonight to welcome Fred
Douglass to Charleston. In an extremely
appropriately and gracefully delivered ad-
dress, Capt S. w. McKinlay, of the
Douglass Light Infantry, bade Douglass
welcome in the name, not only of the
Douglass Light Infantry, but of the colored
citizens of Charleston and the State. Imme-
diately after this address, Mrs. W. II. Heard
read an original poem addressed to Douglass
Douglass responded briefly and to the
point, although the pastor of the church
with much difficulty subdued the demon
stratons of applause. His few remarks
were largely in response TO the sentiments
of the address and of the poem, for both of
which he thanked the authors earnestly and
cordially. Tomorrow Douglass will dine
with Capt. Grady and will be driven around
the city by DR.. w. d. Crum. Tomorrow
night he will lecture at Mount Zion Church
on self Made Men, and on Tuesday night
on his travels abroad.
WITHIN THE PAST THREE DAYS
Charleston has been aroused to the fact
that it has been relegated to the position of
a suburban village by the Coast Line au-
thorities, and that in many of the time Ia
bles issued not even the name of the CITY
appears. The people are at length begin
ming to awaken to the fact that they have
been asleep. 1t has transpred that before
the building of the Ashley River railroad,
which defects Northern travel from the
city, Mr. Plant offered to rebuild the old
bridge and connect the Savannah railroad
with the Coast Line by running his trains
through the streets of Charleston, but per-
mission was refused. Charleston is now
awake to the fact that
railway train running through
its streets is not half as bad as a railway
train running by the city at a distance of
seven miles beyond the city limits. There
is considerable talk of the city building a
bridge and reopening the Charleston and
Savannah railway on the old lines. AS was
said 10y an irate citizen, it has come TO this,
that Charleston has either 10 bottle up Ash
ley Junction and the Ashley River railroad
or submit to be bottled.
