HORSE FLESH AS FOOD.
IL Resembles Bull Beef and Tastea
Something Like a Hare.
From the Nineteenth Century.

From the Nineteenth Century
Physically horse beef may be distinguished
from beef or mutton by It's appearance. IL Ia
coarser in the grain than beef In this respect
it resembles bull beef more than any other. IL
is darker in color and looks more moist than
beef. IL has peculiar smell and a peculiar
sweetness Of taste. Its flavor 10 generally
considered to be half way between the hsyors
Of beef and game.
1t 10 something like the favor OF hare. One
reason why horse fesh is, ssa rule, darker In
color than beef, is that horses which are pole
axed or which have died from injury, disease
or old age, are not properIytled and dressed
by the slaughterer. Ii is, however, by It's fat
that horse hesh 10 most easily distinguished-
The fat Of horsefesh ID not generally mixed
with the lean. 1t is yellow in color. IL looks
more moist than the fat of beef IL soon melts
and soon becomes rancid Consequently. I'M
less q rapid sale il effected or the tat removed
an advanced price must be charged in order 10
secure the butcher from loss on unsold meat
Lastly, horsefesh can be distinguished from
beef BY its chemical characteristics and it "a IN
this way that it may be recognized when
mixed with other substances. Who can tell,
except the chemist, what are the component
parts of sausage, polony or saveloy? Or who
can tell by taste what those parts are? We do
not Judge BY taste-we judge by favor, and 10
the making of flavor, TO use Sam Weiisro
phrase. "It's the seasoning a. does it"

JUDGE MILLER'S FOURTH.
Cases That Kept the Police Court IL
Session Yesterday.

The Fourth of July session of the court opened
under bright prospects for an all-day job for
the judge and the explosions in the street made
it almost impossible for the court to hear the
testimony.
The dock was we'll filledwith prisoners, there
being thirty-three victims of the police behind
the bars. The judges expectations were fully
realized by the appearance of a large number
of ''vags" who could be found by the police at
any time, and Judge Miller so told the police
men. He said to them that the court only sat
on the Fourth of July as an act of mercy to the
persons arrested for violations of the law hap
pening during the previous day or night and
not to try the Migrants who could be captured
at any time and who would not run away even
If they got chance to do so. And if they did
get away, the judge added, the community
would not lose much.
FIRECRAcKER CASE.
The judge disposed OF the only firecracker
case in a manner which showed the police that
he did not intend to impose q penalty on one
poor man when hundreds of them were violat-
ing the same law and were not even spoken to-
Sergeant Dunnigan the only officer who
had such a case and the defendant was William
freeman. The sergeant evidently felt that
Freeman had insulted his dignity, for he told
the judge that Freeman set off about thirty
frecraekers after he Ounnigan) had blown
his whistle.
Judge Miller did not fine the defendant, but
returned him his collateral.
PIANO PLAYERS IN TROUBLE
Eleven men and women of both colors were
marched into the dock. The sight WAS novel
one on a national holiday and Judge Miller
asked what it was all about. Mr. Dumont ex-
planned that most OF them were piano players
in houses Of prostitution. Policeman Ceinar
appeared as the prosecuting witness and sew
eral other officers were present witness es.
Judge Miller again reminded the officers
that the day was a national holiday and said
that some policemen have no more discretion
than ten-year-old boy.
''There are some policemen on the force"
said the judge, who would hesitate a long
time before they would do this on their own
national holiday. All some Of them seem to
know is to set of frecrackers and arrest SIN ali
boys for doing it."
The judge finally laid down the law to the
crowd and sent some of them to the farm.
Others were released. In commenting on the
cases Of those whose only business was to play
the piano in these houses the judge said that
they simply aided in the maintenance of the
houses in violation Of the law. while the VIOLA
tions are winked at by the officers. One of the
defendants told the judge that he played at the
Central Union Mission early in the evening
and later he played at a resort in the s.Diyi-
sion" His personal honda we're taken,

divorced"
That's mighty funny" concluded the negro,

The musicale at the Woodlawn Hotel Thurs
day evening was in every respect a success and
the ladies to whose efforts it was due are TO be
congratulated The program opened with a
piano duet by Mrs. DesPortes and Miss Emily
White. Miss DeShieIds Of Washington did

ance on the either. In conclusion came the
quartet Goodnight. Goodnight, Beloved
by Pinsuti, to tho accompaniment of Miss
Spofford and sung by Misses Loane and Hogg
and Mcssrs Nelson and Stevens. Through the
courtesy of Mrs. Colley in giving the use Of her
house and parlors a handsome sum was real
lied for the charity selected-Christ Church.
1t is proposed to repeat the entertainment for
a similar object IN a more southern parish.

The Policemen Enjoyed Themselves.

Hundreds of small boys in this city were
scared yesterday every time they set fire to the
fuse Of frecracker. Visions of policemen and
cells and Judge Miller filed their infantile
minds and made their childish hands tremble
But the policemen themselves were not worried
to any marked degree-at least two Of them
were not They were on duty at about $50 in
the morning in the northwestern part of the
city and they whiled away the weary minutes
by liberal use Of matches and fireworks
They we're possessed OF a fair assortment OF
.the crackers that 60 bang, and they had just
as much fun with them as any two boys in all
the District of Columbia Their sport came
not to an end until the ammunition was ex-
hausted. The fact that they were discharging
fireworks in the street did not seem to disturb
them
