LONDON'S DISABLED HORSES.

Many of Them Eaten by Hungry Street
Gamins in Sandwiches.
Mr.. w. III. Ross, secretary to Harri-
son q Barber, horse slaughterers, told
to reporter the other day that they
have seven slaughter-houses in the
metropolitan area, the largest being
that in the York road, Camden Town.
They slaughtered $4,000 horses year.
When a horse broke a limb or sus-
tanned other irremediable injury on
the street the police at once COM
municated with the nearest depot.
The company had frequently been
charged with cruelty in allowing
manned horses to lie about for hours
before sending men to end their stuff err
ings. The truth was they were very
particular in this respect and if such
delays occurred it was through no
fault of theirs. Was horse-feshm much
used for food? Yes. to considerable
extent, he should say. Their charter
did not allow of their selling horse
flesh for food purposes, but there were
such establishments in the city. He
had himself eaten hOrse-meat in
France. and at the company's annual
dinner it was served to the guests,
some of whom declared they would
not have known it from beef, had they
not been told. Fine fat horses were
slaughtered every week, horses that
were perfectly sound. except for some
accidental injury, and he saw no rea-
son why this flesh should not be eaten.
He had often seen street gamins buy a
slice of dried horse-fi flesh, place it be-
tween two bits of bread and eat it as
sandwich! Of course, most of the pre-
pared horse-fesh passed under the
name of cats-meat, but it seemed in
credible that the cats could consume it
all.
Every part of the horse we put to
some use-fesh, hide, hair, hoofs and
bones. Now that (and Mr.. Ross held
up small vial of beautifully trans
parent oily was horse oil. One would
scarcely think such oil as that could be
got from the horse. Those other bot
ties contained oils of inferior quality.
They were used for lubricating pur-
poses and for sOap-making. Most soaps
nowadays contained horse-grease.
Armed with cigar and an order
from the secretary of the company,
our reporter made his way to the
premises in York road. The obliging
manager said that they had had only
four horses in to-day. But about T.
800 were slaughtered here annually.
Most of the animals were cab, bus
or tram horses. The establishment
turned out about twenty tons of horse
flesh every week. They had forty six
dead and twenty-one live horses in
now. They contracted with the vari-
Gus cab. bus and tram companies for
injured horses at thirty shillings each,
alive or dead. Most of the live horses
they got in were injured internally by
overwork or falling. A few were gone
with congestion of the lungs. The
work of slaughtering went on day and
night, there being two gangs of men
for that purpose. Horses were killed
at night by three ''knackers." Fifteen
horses were considered a good nights
work. The sufferings of the poor
brutes were soon at an end. as they
were rendered insensible by a blow
from heavy axe. p all Mall Gazette.

The Model Of = Contrfvanee Invented bv
Abraham Lincoln.
Occupying prominent position in a
case in the center aisle is the model of
boat for lifting vessels over shoals.
1t was patented to Abraham Lincoln in
1S49, when the future President
thought to make reputation as an in
rentor rather than statesman. Lin
coin is the only President who ever Sc
cured patent.
The first shoe was patented in 1911
by two Massachusetts men. It is of un-
dressed leather, and there is quite a
difference between the workmanship
of that and the present machine
stitched shoe. So well was the work
done. however, that il was impossible
! to tell whether it was pegged or sewed
until some sacrilegious clerk cut the
sole and ascertained it was pegged.
In the class of perpetual motion ma
chimes the Patent Office is deficient.
1t has no working model, but an in
ventor stepped in the other day to say
that he had a completed and tested
model which he would send shortly.

last one to be patented was an elabo-
rate arrangement of wings and tails.

The Symphony Concerts.

Every year for the past few seasons the
musical portion of Savannah has been
treated to concert by some Of the cele-
brated orchestral clubs of the country. Max
Bachert, manager of the now famous Boston
Symphony Orchestral Club, has been in the
city during the week and completed ar
engagements for two concerts by his club, to
be given at the theater Dec. 10 and Is. As
heretofore, these concerts will be given
under local manageme 1t, and some of the
city's charitable organizations will partici-
pate in the benefits. The subscription lists
will be opened shortly, and tickets for the
two concerts will be sold at a nominal figure
and reserved before the general sale begins.
Society people usually attend in parties,
and the affairs have been characterized by
the social features connected with tul-dress
concerts. The club is composed OF ten per-
sons and the prima donna, Miss Augusta
0hrstrom, is one of the special attractions.
The Saratoga Union says: miss Ohr-
strom's manner is winning. her stage pres
ence charming, her singing delicious. Her
clear pure soprano is equally satisfying in
the exacting Jewel Song from Faust or
the simple folk songs of her native Sweden.
She can sing with marvellous power and
volume, she can execute trills and cadenzas
and rouades like Patti, but her best is a
faint, sweet strain; the echo of silver bell ,
a fairy'S melody made perfect by the ex-
preston of a human soul. She received a
double encore after each number last
evening"

j. j. Sullivan, son Of N. NJ. Sullivan Of
this city, who has been carrying on an ex-
tenslve fishery in Florida, was arrested yes
terday at Punta Gorda for fishing IN Flor
ida waters. s. Arthur, North Carolinian,
who IS Mr.. Sullivan's partner in business,
was also arrested, and was released on 81, 900
bail. Mr.. Sullivan was given a hearing.
dis father telegraphed for particulars last
night, but no reply was received.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Mr.. Sui
Ivan about his sons arrest. Mr.. Sullivan
said that 1t is result Of recent legislation
In Florida. A bill. he said, was passed by
the Florida legislature at its last session,
making il misdemeanor for any other than
a resident of the state Of Florida to fish In
Florida waters. Mr. Sullivan said that his
son has lived in Florida the greater portion
of his life. He became of age in Florida.
and he was granted the privilege of estab-
fishing fishery at Punta q Irda by the
highest court in the state He and his
partner formed the part lership four years
ago, and have been conducting the business
without an in eruption until yesterday,
Mr.. Sullivan has been shipping fish from
Punta Gorda by schooner and by rail. A
large portion of the catch came to Savan-
nah and was disposed of by Mr.. N. NJ. Suli-
van. In fact, Mr.. Sullivan said that he
relies solely on his son for fish. He spent
last winter here, and took back to Florida
with him, when the fish seasonsopened, forty
fishermeo. Mr.. Sullivan has been receiv
ing weekly an average of between $50 and
200 barrels Of fish. Yesterday he did not
receive a barrel He supposes that the
fishing has been suspended.

A DisRraceful scane.

Last night was but repetition of the
noisy. boisterous, and, to say the least,
shameful behavior of the crowd that stand
around market square every Saturday
night. blockading the sidewalk and using
language that would never be tolerated in
any other city. Our reporter claims, at the
corner of Barnard and Congress streets he
had to force his way through the crowd of
worthless idlers who stood around, filling
the sidewalk with peanut shells and the
surrounding atmosphere with aAguage that
caused him to investigate and try aud dis
cover why better police protection is not
afforded the ladies, who are compelled to
do their marketing on Saturday nights.
Continuing down Congress until he reached
jefferson street, he was astounded at the
crowd congregated around Dryfus Bros
Clothing, Hat aud Furnishing Emporium.
Upon inquiring the cause of the excitement
his attention was drawn to their elegantly
dressed show window, which is the nand-
soonest ever arranged in Savannah, and
worth the trouble OF any one who appre-
clates talent of this kind to examine it.
They are displaying one of the most COM
plete and stylish stocks ever brought to the

probably be felt more in Florida and in
Georgia to-day, and will cause rain.

he Ivy Leaf"

Miss Ellsler will be followed on Wednes-
day night by w. H. Powers, who will pre-
sent Murphy's romantic musical drama,
"The Ivy Leaf" Mr.. Murphy is well known
as a writer of several successful plays. In
"The Ivy Leaf" he has given US one of his
best. There is something particularly pleas
ing about the fresh, healthful wit of the
typical Irisbman, and the "Green Isle" is
the land of romance. Several pretty
romances and plenty Of genuine Irish wit
are to be found in 1.-THE Ivy Leaf" Then
there are some splendid scenic effects, some
very pretty dancing and some excellent
singing. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
this is one of the best Irish dramas that has
been seen in Savannah, and that it will be
thoroughly enjoyed by those who may have
the pleasure TO witness it.

"Held by the Enemy"

Following "The Ivy Leaf" Is "Held by
the Enemy" the popular war drama, which
was presented here several years ago. The
play has an almost worldwide reputation.
This is both because of its genuine merit
and because it is the first play written on
the late war, wherein the conflicting inter
ests of the north and south have been so in
genl0usly interviewer as not to give offense
to the sympathizers of either cause. The
play abounds in exciting situations and a
genuine battle scene with galloping horses,
but these are happily relieved by delicate
touches Of the most exquisite comedy. The
company presenting the piece is spoken of
everywhere in the highest terms, SO an ex-
cellent entertainment is an assured fact.
