Correspondence of the RECORD.
Our usually happy neighborhood was
greatly shocked by the very sudden and
death of Mrs. Glarencs East.
which occurred Thursday evening, April
II. She left boy baby about three
hours old. Her death was caused by
dropsy, water having settled on her heart
and lupgs, causing suffocation. Every
thing was dene to relieve her, but 1t was
of no avail. Mt. East has the sympathy
Of every one in his great loss. He is left
with two children--a little girl two years
of age aud the infant boy One of the
saddest things connected with her death
was when Mr.. Beach, who was on the
road to Bismarck after the casket, met
Mrs. Winnings the deceased lady's sister,
on her return from visit to their pa.
rents, and the first intlmation she had Of
her sisters death was then. She is nearly
crushed with grief, as she left her father
very i'll and not expected to live but she
left him knowing he would be we'll cared
for, and hastened home to care for her
sister in her expected confinement. The
funeral was held at the residence of the
family on Saturday. the 18th. Services
were conducted by the Rev. A. j. Garry,
and the remains were taken to Bismarck
for interment. Mr.. East was accompa
MED on his sad errand by Messrs. Ham.
mond. Ryder. Winnings and Fraleigh. 80.
Religious services were held at L. D..
SmalPs residence on the Sabbath of April
II, conducted by Mrs. Garry. One gen
tleman from Winchester attended. Iun.
derstand there was also Sabbath school
after the services. The stiffness was
broken on the morning of the 18th by
the whistle of the first steamer, vibrating
through the valley and over the hills, as
she wended her way down the river.
Some of the farmers are planting pota-
toes. Rather early, is it not7 If planted
them they would surely get their toes

Religious Community Into which
Women Are Not Allowed 10 Penetrate.
Nothing Is more curious than 10
study the effects upon large society
OF the total exclusion OF the female
sex. II is commonly thought that
men by themselves must grow rude
and savage; that IL is 10 women we
owe all the graces and re6noments OF
social intercourse. Nothing can be
further from the truth. ] venture to
say that in all the world there is not
so perfectly polite and orderly s6ci-
ETY. as that of Atios. As regards hos
pitality and gracious manners the
monks and their servants put TO shame
the most polished Western people.
Disorder, tumult, confusion seem inn
possible in this land Of peace II they
have differences and squabbles about
the rights OF property, these things
are referred 90 law courts and de-
termined by argument Of advocates,
not by disputing and high words
among the claimants. While life and
property are still unsafe on the main
land and on the sister peninsula OF
Cassandra and Longos, Athos has been
Tor centuries as secure rs any county
In England. So far, then, all the evil
dence is in favor OF the restriction.
Many of the monks. being carried to
the peninsula in carly youth, have
completely forgotten what n woman is
like except for the brown, smoky pict-
ures of the Papagla with her infant,
in all the churches, which the strict
iconography of tho Orthodox Church
has made as unlovcly and non-human
as Il is possible for picture TO be.
So far. so well. But IL tho monks
imagined they could simply expunge
the other sex from their life without
any but the obvious consequences they
were mistaken. What strikes the
traveller Is not the rudeness, the un-
tidiness. the discomfort OF purely
male society; II Is rather its dullness
and depression. Some OF the older
monks were indeed Jolly enough; they
drank their wine and cracked their
jokes freely. But the novicos who at
tended at the table, the men and boys
who had come from the mainland to
work as servants, muleteers, laborers,
seemed all suffering under n perman-
ent depression and sadness. The
town OF Karyes is the most somber and
gloomy place ] ever saw. There are
no laughing groups, no singing, no
games umoug the boys. Every one
looked serious, solemn, listless, va
cant. as the case may be. but devoid
OF keenness ani interest in life. At
first one might suspect that the monks
were hard task-masters. ruling their
servants as slaves; but this is not the
real solution. II Is that the main
source OF interest and cause OF quar-
rel in all these animals. human and
other, does not occur. For the dull
ness was moi confined TO the young
monks or laity; it had invaded even
the lower animals. The tom-cats,
which were there in crowds, passed
one another in moody silence along
the roofs. They seemed permanently
dumb. And IL the cocks had not lost
their voice and crowed frequently in
the small hours OF the morning their
note seemed to me a wall, not chal-
lenge-the clear though unconscious
expression Of just want in their lives.

KANSAS CRY, No.. Sept 12-F. II.
Brice. a butcher, was examined by the
Senatorial meat Investigating committee
yesterday and proved a most interesting
witness. He corroborated Mr.. Armour in
the statement that the discrimination Of
the people 10 eat only the fine cuts OF beef
was the cause Of no apparent reduction In
the price OF meat at the block
Nj. Brice has been n butcher for thirty
years He said twenty years ago he
got more for round steak than for loin.
The people, he said had been educated
to eat the better class OF meat
by the packing houses. IL had been
brought about by the packers trim-
ming the fine parts of the beef
closer and closer, thus giving the people
only the very choicest Of meat.
These trimmings the packers, he said,
used 10 can and barrel and this line OF
beef had been profitable, but he did not
know what the price was on this class OF
product Before the packing houses did
this, the parts Of beef termed fine cuts
weighed double what they do now.
Mr.. Brice said there were from go to 300
butchers - Kansas City. There was a
sort Of a butchers association II be-
longed, but took no active part. This as
ISOLATION had nothing TO do with fixing
the prices OF beef He said but few OF the
butchers knew their business and none Of
them were making money. There was but
one hatcher In the city who killed his own
beef. The reason for this, he said, was
the fact that IL was cheaper for the
butchers to buy the dressed beef Mr..
Brico was positive that the retail price of
beef would be higher II the butchers had
TO do their own killing. The butchers
could buy the live cattle for the same price
as the packers but the packers
lieved the packing houses were a
benefit TO the people and were not the
consumers so particular about the quality
OF meat eaten, the price would be lower.
Mr.. Brice said be did not believe the
packers were making more than a fair
profit He said he know OF no means
used by the packers to compel
butchers 10 buy the dressed beef
Butchers bought It because they knew
IL was cheaper than for them TO kill for
themselves. Every packer he said, re-
-siled meat at his place OF business, but
6hat was the only attempt at butcher
chops that he knew Of Eight years ago,
be said, the packers tried to run retail
shops but soon gave II up as a bad Job.
