SHIPPING CATTLE ACROSS SEA.
Some Points Regarding This New Com
mercial Industry.

Some Points Regarding This New Com
mercial Industry.
Especial Corrspondence.l
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The live stock
shipping industry began about eight
years ago. The average number Of
cattle sent each week is 5000 the year
round, or about 100000 annually. or
course this does not include dead car
casses, which are shipped by the mil
lion. nor fine breeding stock, compris-
ing great number Of bulls, every year
sent over from Kentucky.
Upon the other hand, England sends
no butchers stock to America. She
does. however, ship fine thoroughbreds
for stock breeding purposes, ami no end
OF them.
The expense Of shipping a cargo of
cattle (of say $50 head may easily be
computed by these figures: Cost of $50
head, at $50 each, S33,OOO: forty men
(deducting four ''deadheads'), at $50
each (wages range from S25 to $3.50,
81 100; foreman, $50; one assistant fore
man at $40; freight on stock at $40 per
head Qit ranges from So to Sl2), S., 500;
loss of per cent. ON stock Uhe average
loss, aside from a wholesale disaster, is
2 to 81 per cent?, $500; total cost OF
cargo. $iO, 400, or $3.50 per head. To
this must often be added cost Of insur-
ance, although the cargo is not alw ays
insured, il weather indications are ia
vorable.
Thus il will be seen that the shipper does
not always realize profit on his cargo,
as, at minimum loss of per cent, he
must realize $3.50 per head ON his cattle
in England to come out even. And STILL
above the investment already mentioned,
he is pledged TO provide a return passage
for his men.
The system Of taking men across in
cattle boats and giving Their; their board
for services rendered Is fast falling into
i'll favor. The 'deadhcads," as this class
of men are called, usually hail from an
utterly worthless rank-the tramp brig

The announcement OF this competition and
che chance Of earning the title of champion

dormant energies Of the strong men near and

Man Of lron;" John Whitman, Ajax"
George Hirschhorn, "Young Sampson; !"

Swiss Hercules" and host Of others at

They could bulge IL. but the 1880 pounds
oe solid weight were too much for them to
lift.
Sebastian Miller, who lifts 1900 pounds
with the health Lift, {, 200 with harness and
cracks stones with his fist quicker than an or
dinary pan can. with hammer, made Q
great effort, but was forced to give up In
despair.
Whitman attempted to lift the end of the
bell with his teeth by fastening q strap to the
handle. He tried twenty times, with no sue
cesa He did lift 1t, however, by placing q
strap around his neck and using one hand
He struggled for one hour to lift it the whole
way up, but failed. The others were equally
unsuccessful.
Finally James w. Kennedy, Of whom a
very good likeness appears with this account,
determined to wade in and capture the
trophy. Kennedy, who is an iron molder by
trade, Is magnificent specimen Of muscular
development. He is feet 10 inches tall and
weighs los pounds stripped. He claims tLs
title Of champion short distance oarsman of
America. He was several years ago prom
tnent amateur, and won the double sculls
together with J. H. Riley, at Greenwood
lake, on Oct. Q, 1876, covering the two miles
In i2m. and 20s. Kennedy had been training
for the event for some time, and when he
made his appearance was in the pink Of con-
ditiOn and confident Of success.
He carefully wrapped a small towel around
the slippery iron handle and grasped it firmly
with both hands The first and second trials
resulted In failures, but on the third the

for moment, and then it dropped with a
crash upon the floor.
He was congratulated by all present and
proclaimed champion by Fox.
Although Kennedys performance was a
great one, 1t does not equal David L. Dowd's
Lift Of 1,442A pounds. This is the best on
record, and was accomplished on March "a,
1883 The amateur record for lifting with
the hands alone is 1884 pounds. This feat
was accomplished by II. Lenssing, Of Spring
deld, Mass, on March 81, 1850.
lew yeaIs ago tnere was IN America a
German giant named Carl Abs. He could
lift 900 pounds, play with $50 pound dumb
bells, and lift 500 pounds with one hand.

ST. JOINS, n. B., Feb. 29.-Fred A.
Walton was quietly arrested here Satur-
day evening by Detectives Ring
and John A. Gross, of Montreal,
on the charge of stealing 5000
from the Pacific Express company at
Dallas. Tex. Walton had been in this
city for some days, going under the
name of Simpson. He was boarding at
the express company, and through his
position he was enabled to secure
the money. When Walton was ar
rested over $1,000 was found on
his person, and in his vaIise
was one package containing money,
which was in the original wrappings,
with the seals, ETC., on it. Walton ar
rived here on the 14th inst. in company
with John Laird and Frank Brady, two
motor ious Montreal gamblers, whom he
gave $40, goo to get him out of Canada.
They left hers, and Walton went to
the Dufferin hotel to board. and then
changed to the Victoria, and thence to
the Clifton house, where he was arrest
days high living with Walton, re-
turned to Montreal. The embezzler was
to have taken passage on the Portia
for the West Indies. Friday Detective
Gross arrested Laird and Brady in
Montreal for aiding and abetting Wal
ton in bringing stolen money into Cam
ada. He then left for this city, arriving
here Saturday afternoon. He was met
at the train by Detective Ring and Mr..
Vickers, of the Dominion Express
company, and proceeded to the
Clifton house. Walton being out,
ali examination of his room was
made, and much evidence was found to
show that he was the man wanted. AS
soon as he came in to tea he was made a
prisoner and taken to the police station.
He made no resistance, and did not even
ask on what charge he was arrested,

The National Capital.

The City of Washington is an object
of perennial interest to all patriotic
Americans. Not alone because it is the
great throbbing heart of the mightiest
and grandest Republic the earth has
ever known, but also on account of its
material magnificence. All Americans
take pride in Its beautiful avenues, ma
jestic architecture, stately homes and
well-stored galleries and museums as
things of grandeur and beauty in them
selves, apart from the historic interest
with which they are invested. 1t is a
hope and aspiration of all "Young
+ America" at least, to some time or
other visit the Capital of his country.
The Baltimore and Ohio r. r. offers
unequalled facilities in aid of this desire.

A NEW ARGUMENT


Why New York Should Not Have
the Worlds Fair.
NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-At meeting
held by the Anti-Poyerty society tonight
John II. Egelman, who addressed
the society on the subject of the
worlds fair, took the ground
that it would be detrimental to the in
terests of the workingmen of this city
for the fair to be held here. The sur
plus labor of America and the pauper
labor of Europe would, he declared. be
drawn hither to aid in the work of con-
struction and wages would be lowered; If
not while the fair was actually in pro-
gress, at least after its close, when
thousands would remain without en-
ployment, besides rents would increase
and the cost of the laborers' living
would be higher. Other speakers took
the same ground.
