notwithstanding the influence of early
training, forsake his faith and become a
well-paid Chicago butcher.
The method here described is practiced in
the Armour and other large slaughter
houses, but in other concerns The animals
are led into slaughter-pens large enough
TO contain three or four in d line. When
the pens are filed the butcher takes his
stand on platform overhead, and from
that position hits the steers on the head
with large, double-headed hammer. AS
soon as the poor beast has been knocked
down, it is dragged out Of the pen, its
throat cut, and the dressing operations
begin.
Experts who have travelled from one end
of the world to the other, examining the
various methods of slaughtering cattle,
favor the shooting of steers, as man can
soon acquire such knowledge of the bust
ness that he viii rarely, if ever, fail TO hit
the animal between the eyes They prefer
this method to the Anticipated process now
in use in London, where the poleaxe, a
hammerlike affair, is used, which the
butcher seeks to drive through the skull
into the brain, for the purpose of produc-
ing lnsensibility. Other English butchers
strike the animal on the back of the head,
just at the base Of the brain. It is also
much better than the Spanish method,
where all cattle are killed with broad
bladed dagger. The animal selected for
slaughter is pulled down to ring by means
of a strong rope secured around the horns.
The butcher stands at the head of the ami
nal, and with one downward plunge of his
knife sewers the spinal cord. And It is in
tnitely more humane than the use Of the
guiuotine, in outward appearance at least
which sewers the spinal cords of most of the

methods of executing live stock practiced
in Europe are the killing by dynamite and
the driving in of brain-bolts In the first a
dynamite cartridge is tasted to the head
Just below the horns and in the center of
the face The cartridge, loaded so as to be
exploded by means of a fuse, sends an iron
bolt into the head of the bullock, producing
instantaneous death. In the second a mask
is put over the animals head, face and ewes,
which has an opening for the insertion of a

sumed By community. The steer to be
slaughtered was drawn up to the place OF
execution by means of a rope fooped around
his horns and run through ring la the
floor. AS soon as the animal has oeen
brought TO the right place rope was Iast-
ened to its hind leg, and with sknItul JERK
the victim was thrown on its back In that
position its head was placed resting on It's
horns, and the animals nose touched the
floor, leaving the throat exposed for the
stroke of "choIf,n a long blade OF pure
Steel without flaw. One stroke by an
experts ashochet" sufficed to sever all the
arteries, and the steer was allowed to bleed
to death. The Jewish faith never counte-
nanced the use of an axe, hammer or other
implement for stunning animals, as it was,
and is, a requirement of their religious code
thatnone of their animals bones be broken.
This method, however good it may be,
would not suit the butchers of the present
day, and more particularly those Of Chi
cago, where thousands of beeves are killed
every day TO supply the dressed-meat mar
ket of the world. In the immense abattoirs
in the Union Stock Yards region Of that
city, the visitor can at any time of the day
see a man armed with a rife walk rapidly
TO and fro on platform above row OF
pen-hke compartments, pausing every few
minutes to put q bullet between the horns
of a steer which, few days before, had
been seeking its food On the fertile prairies
of Kansas. AS the animal drops to the
floor Of the pen door at the end flies open,
q chain is passed around its horns and it is
drawn into large room where expert
butchers-or rather, carvers - transform
the animal into marketable commodities. A
steer is cut up, washed, hung upon wheeled
tram-ways and sent to the cooling room
with Gexterity that would so astonish one
of Jacobs, Benjamin's or Lewis ''shochets,"
that were he able to behold it, he might,

and the erection of buildings necessary to
the proper transaction Of business was
over 81, 000, 900.
But to return to the slaughter-house,
which we left just as the butchers had cut
up fine Texas steer, and before his fat
sides had been sent TO the cooling room,
where. resting in a temperature Of thirty
five degrees Fahrenheit, they are kept IN
til required for shipment. Beef so handled
can be preserved at least thirty days, es-
pecially when the animals have received
feed, water and abundant rest before be-
ing killed. From the cooling room meat is
shipped in refrigerator cars, owned and
controlled by the great Chicago packers, to
New York; Philadelphia, Boston and hun
dreds Of smaller points in the country, and
within the past year or two, at least two of
the firms engaged in the dressed-meat trade
have sent millions of pounds of prime beef
to London, Liverpool, Hamburg, Paris and
other European cities and trade centers, TO
the greatest satisfaction of all Old World
gourmands, who pronounce American beef
superior to the home bred article.
To prove by figures the importance Of the
dressed-meat industry it might be stated
that Armour alone killed "a. 99S cattle dur
,
to all points of the compass; and when the
reader takes into consideration that other
concerns, like Swift's, for instance, are al
most as extensive as Armour's, he may
form an idea of the vast amount of money
involved in the beef branch Of the packing
business.
The slaughtering of cattle may, perhaps.
not be an attractive subject TO the average
newspaper reader, but yet it must be con-
sidered very useful occupation until the
coming Of the day when mankind shall di
vest itself Of its grosser appetites and sus-
tain life by eating nothing but vegetable
products. That day, however, seems to be

BERLIN CONFERENCE.

ALL HANDS WELL SATISFIED.
Hard Work by the COmmittee-The
COnciliatOry Attitude of
Count Herbert.

Copyright, 1885, by New York Associated
Piess.l
BERLIN, May 25.-Sir Edward Malet,
Mr.. Kasson and Herr Holstein, the Com
mittee on Revision, completed today, a
draft of the protocol concerning the
Samoan questions. 1t contains the
clauses relating to the municipal govern
ment of Apia, the coaling points held by
the Powers, the Land Commission and
autonomy of the Samoan Government,
the text of which has already been cabled
to Washington and approved by Blaine.
The remaining clauses containing the
tariff of Samoa, the constitution of the
native Government and the limitation OF
German claims for indemnity from the
natives, have been framed in consonance
with instructions from Blaine, who is in
daily cable communication with the
Commission. Nothing therefore ought,
in the opinion of the delegates, to pre-
vent the winding up of the conference on
Tuesday, when the business is expected
to be limited to an exchange of sigma
lures to the agreements. The success of
the Commission and the rapidity with
which business was got through with,
were partly due to the conciliatory
attitude of Herbert Bismarck and
the impartial policy displayed by
Sir Edward Malet, and large
ly to the American Commission
having definite instructions covering
every poin t. The constant hard work of
the subcommittee marvelously expe-
dited matters, the sitting of the confer
ence having little to do further than to
hear the reporst. Throughout, no en-
barrassing developments had retarded
the progress of the deli berations. When
the conference began it was announced
that the Foreign Office was confident
that the sessions would terminate in the
first week in June. The discussion has
taken course and issue according to that
forecast.
The German official world, following
the examples of its chiefs, treats the
American Commissioners with high
favor. If they respond to all their invi-
tations they would find their hardest
work in recreation. Count Herbert gave
conspicuous emphasis to his friendly
footing with each of the Commissioners
by his greeting at the Temelhofer parade,
when he left the parade to converse with
each Commissioner, riding between the
carriages of Casson and Bates and Phelps
and exchanging cordial words with them.

BERLIN, May 25.-The situation at the
Westphalia collieries continues critical.
According to the Rhenish papers the
proclamation OF martial law is imminent.
Hitherto the miners have held aloof from
the Socialists and have resented their
approaches Now there are symptoms
of impotence under the passive resist
ance of the masters. Herr Weber, Pres
ident of the Bochum Strike Committee,
was arrested after making speech last
night, in which occurred the phrase,
"War against capital, victory or death,
is proclaimed" Miners in several pits
in Bochum, Gelinkirchen and Aschen
will go on strike in consequence of hav-
ing failed to obtain the assent of the
owners at Dortmund to the concessions
demanded. Other strikes grow. Six
thousand masons in Berlin who resumed
work under the belief that the employers
would grant their demands, will strike
again on Monday. Nineteen thousand
men. employed in the building trades,
are now out here.

that the regulation has not produced the
results which, at the time, there seemed
excellent reasons to think it would pro-

THE VERY GENEROUS CORPORAL.
Commissioner of Pensions Tanner to-
day accorded hearing to the representa-
tives of the class OF pensioners who lost
both an arm and leg in the service, one
or both near the body. The present rat
ing for such disability varies from So
to $40 per month, according TO
the degree of disability incurred, and
the pensions of this class, of
whom there are said to be about twenty
insist that thew should be rated at $75
per month. The Commissioner, in rem.
dering his decision. held that just and
fair construction of the statute justified
the payment of $72 per month to PEN
sioners whose disability is such as above
indicated.

CINCINNATI, May 25.-The condition OF
the police force and the saloon keepers is
somewhat uncertain tomorrow. The
Police Commissioners have made an
order adding to the list of offences for
which the police are authorized to make
arrests, that of keeping saloons
open on Sunday, giving baseball
or theatrical performances, etc., on
Sunday, and the performance OF
of common labor on Sunday; but the
police are under the direct control of the
Mayor, and his last order on the subject
of Sunday saloons was that policemen
should arrest only when requested to do
30 by responsible citizen. The Mayor
has issued no other order, and says he
will not do 80, but intimates that an order
to close all saloons on Sundays after June
Let, will be issued next week.
