BLUE BLOOD AND HIGH PRICES
IN MERIN0S.

The Vermont Sheep Breeders
Association, says Il" A. b. S."in the
fertile Designer, of Brasher Falls.
n. Y, is the largest and richest
livestock organization today in
this country. 1t has over 1000
members, and at least % States
are represented IN 1t by wealthy
breeders. The attention of the as.
soclation Is directed entirely to the
interests of the most aristocratlc
and blue.blOoded of all domestic
animals, the merino sheep. The
raising of this long.pedigreed ami
NAL IN the United States began
among the Green Mountains of
Vermont nearly 100 years ago, and
no where else in the world-not
even among the hills of Spain, the
original home OF the merino-i is
this valuable animal found in such
perfection and purity OF breeding.
"To look at a merino sheep, I'M

Breeders think so much of that
dirty gum on merinos that they
carefully shelter them from show
ers, and even heavy dews, to pre-
vent a particle of it from being
washed away. When a merino
lamb of this blood is born its ears
are pierced and silver labels with
a number on them and the name
of the owner attached. The num-
Der and name are registered in the
books of the Vermont Sheep
Breeders Association, and if the
lamb is sold or transferred the
owner must notify the association
and the transaction is carefully
noted in the books, so that the
entire movements Of the lamb from
its birth to its death are always
known. No sheep has any stand

The circumstance of the De
lection Of colored man named
Chandler Jones, who burglarlzed
the store OF j. l.. Melton, of Halle
burst, Ga, several weeks ago, are
peculiar. The work was done by
Detective T.. A. Wilson of Macon
1t shows how that officer seized
upon a slight clew and followed II
to a successful result. When he
arrived at Hazleburst he made
an examination OF the store and
found that the double door had
been unlocked 10y the insertion OF
chisel between the doors and
gradually working the bolt into
the lock. lie then made al
examination of the store, but saw
nothing in the way of clew except
an apple out of which two bites
had been taksn. His detective in
stinct caused him to examine this
apple, and he saw upon It tooth
marks that were valuable. lie
saw that the two front teeth Of the
bites we're not only irregular but
peculiar. He imagined that when
the bitter was a boy an old tooth
remaining IN the gum caused a new
tooth to grow one sided, aud it was
now his resolve TO find the man
with their ingrowing tooth. The
apple was placed IN water so as to
prevent shiveling, and keeping his
secret to himself he went kown to
Braxley, where he knew there
were a number of loafing negroes.
He found a group in a store and
in the center of il was a real negro
dude, anu he was standing in an
attitude that would have
shamed New York swell.
The desective instinct came into
play again and Mr.. Wilson was
certain that the dude was the man
lie wanted, but 1t was necessary to
put him to test. Walking into the
store, he bought a cigar. Then
seeing some apples he bought q
dimes worth, and, biting one, said
to the crowd, "Here, | can't eat all
these and treated the group with
the apples. His eyes we're upon
the dude, and when that individual
took one bite the detective was
dead sure of bis man, and when he
raised the apple to his mouth for
a second bite the hand cuffs were
placed OH his wrist. There never
was a more astonished negro. He
was under arrest so quickly that
he was unable to offer any resls.

cutting. He was wearing suit
of clothes stolen from Mr.. Bussey,
of Chauncey, and fine watch and
chain taken from Mr.. Milton. After
placing Jones In the lookup the
detective found where he was stop

valise where the little cards at

marks.
Jones was then taken to Halle
hurst, and at the store showed how
he went in with two others and
made the haul. When he first
went in on the night Of the burglary
the first thing he saw was barrel
of apples. lie picked up one, aud
after two bites LAID it down on Mr..

the entire affair, and told where

He also confessed to having robbed

Trinity church has had to pay $1,000
for bringing over under contract an u.s.
sistant pastor. 1t is beyond question
that tho law never contemplated this
application. 1t is quite us clear that the
contract with the glassworkers brought
overt to Jeannette is just within the strict
spirit Of the law.
II the contract labor law cannot pre-
vent such contracts us this, 1t Is worth
nothing. 1t is true that home labor was
inadequate, hut this does not touch the
primary fact thOtth men were brought
into the country under contract for their
labor, and this is what tho country de-
sires to stop.
1t would be odd II the GrSt enforce
ment Of the law in harmony with lS
real spirit were to be against these Jean.

by a labor organization which stands as
firmly MS any other by organized labor
in America. Tho alTalr would seem all
tho more peculiar since the invitation
came from Knights Of Labor.

1t takes money to make u big show go
and the New York Herald thinks 1t has
found a way 10 get the money. 1t Sug.
gests the issue OF stock shares Of ten dol
lars each, so that everybody may get
some OF them. ''Ten or fifteen million
dollars can be easily and quickly raised
in this way" says the Herald.
II the money were TO be put in gold
mines with the flaming promise Of carly
and fabulous returns, perhaps 1t would
be "easily and quickly raised in this
way" We doubt whether New York is
equal to the task OF raising money easily
and quickly for any public enterprise by
appealing to its people, To succeed in
such IN undertaking there must be local
pride aud public spirit to appeal to, and
in these New York has shown herself to
be woeiully lacking.
II the rich men Of New York do not

ness men who would profit by the big
show do not follow the example, the
