Sudden Ending of the Master Of
the Paul Isenberg.
SECRECY ATTACHED TO AFFAIR
No Reporters Allowed at the Inquest
and the Verdict withheld-An Empty
Bottle shows by Which Means the
Captain Made His Exit-Despondent.

John c. Biet, the master of the
German bark Paul Isenberg, now In
the harbor, died early yesterday morn
ing under suspicious circumstances
A coroner's inquest was held in the
afternoon, at which no reporters were
allowed to be present, and q verdict of
some kind rendered. For some reason
the result of the investigation is with
held from the public by Marshal
Hitchcock. It is understood, how ever,
that the jury found that the death
was due to an overdose of laudanum.
The facts of the case point strongly to
suicide, as the deceased was a man
who enjoyed good health, and was
seen at o'clock Wednesday night,
apparently all right. AT the hour
mentioned he went below and was not
seen again until early yesterday morn-
ing, when the steward entered his
stateroom to call him. The boy found
the captain breathing very heavily
and concluding that something was
wrong, he called in the mate. The
man did not appear to get any better
and finally doctor was sent for. 1t
was soon discovered that he was be-
yond medical aid.
An empty bottle was found in the
berth occupied by the captain. 1t had
contained laudanum. 1t was learned
Yesterday that the deceased had heard
some unpleasant news by the Oce-
anic. He was informed that his for
mer first mate had been convicted or
| manslaughter, committed on the high
/ seas, and had been sentenced to serve
| eight years imprisonment. 1t the let
! ter it was intimated that the captain
would fare still worse for his part in the
crime. This information had depres-
| sing effect on the master ard while in
despondent mood he took a dose of
| the poison with suicidal intent. The
! crime for which the mate is now inn
| prisoned was considered brutal one
| when the facts were known. It hap
| pened while the vessel was on her last
| voyage to Germany. A young sea.
man was triced up and kept in that
| position until his superiors were
afraid to keep up the punishment any
| longer. He was liberated and died
soon after. OF the mate it is said that
while the boy was triced up he treat
ed him most inhumanly. Finally,
when the vessel reached her destina-
ton, the captain and mate were ar.
rested. The master was liberated on
| heavy cash bail.
Various reasons are mentioned for
| the great secrecy connected with the
whole affair. One is that Marshal
Hitchcock thinks the deceased met
with foul play. Another story, and
one that finds favor, is the statement
that IL it is decided that he committed
| suicide, his bail money, which
| amounts to quite a sum, will be de-
| clared forfeited. Another reason is
that the dead man he'll life insur-
| ance policy with "nO suicide" clause

THE DOWSETT-JONES CASE.
a Suit in Which a Sons Debt;
Figures.

The pending case of Dowsett VS..
Jones is becoming, The rec
ords of the case show that Dowsett
brought an action in the District Court
against Mrs. Jones, December 21, 1893,
on a receipt signed by her, dated De-
cember q, 1857, for "two hundred dol
lars as a loan to be returned" To this
action the defendant pleaded the non
joinder of her husband, whereupon
plaintiff was allowed to amend by
making Mr.. Jones co.defendant, and
when the case came up, finding that
his second summons had not been
served on Mr.. Jones, he took third
which was served. To this amended
complaint, the defendant demurred,
On the grounds that it showed no cause
Of action against the wife. The de-
murrer was overruled, and judgment
given for the plaintiff, on the evidence
presented, from which judgment de-
feudants appealed to the Circuit Court,
which affirmed the judgment. The
Supreme Court, on exceptions, held
that the husband was Improperly
Joined and, that under the married
WOmen'5 ACT CI 1885, the Wlle dIOIlc
was liable, but that the plaintiff might
amend again by striking off the de-
fendant Mr.. Jones' name, and have a
re-trial.
At this last November term Of the
Circuit Court, the defendant again de-
INJURED to part Of the amended COM
plant, and answered by general de-
niaI Of the rest. The demurrer il
overruIed by Judge Cooper, leaving
the defendant to answer that part, Or
carry the question 10 the Supreme
Court on exceptions.
The contest which the defendant IL
making on the law OF her case, is
owing TO her belief that her father,
who has since deceased, had, a. he az
sured her that he mad done, paid the
claim TO the plaintiff, by of-setting a
like amount owing to him by Mr.
! Dovsett's son. She has thus far been
unable TO get legal proof Of such set
tlement, which is denied by the plain
tiff
It remains 10 be seen how this case
will eventually result.

wool The result Of this was that
large-sized sheep were called for and
just the opposite conditions existed.
Instead of small-sized sheep with plen-
ty of wool on their backs. breeders
now are endeayoring to turn out sheep
Of the largest possiblt size, making the
wool product mere incident.
Now this other extreme has its dam
gers just as much as the first As it
was found that beyond a certain point
small sheep did not pay, so 1t will
soon be realized that large sheep have
their limit beyond which 1t will hardly
pay any breeder to go. That is, the
extra quantity of food required to
support the larger bones, muscles, and
frames will not be paid for in good
solid meat. It costs less to make the
first 100 pounds in any animal than
the second, and the third hundred is
produced so slowly and at such an ex-
pense that it entails loss. Our extra
large sheep of the future will not pay
any better than the fair-sized mutton
breeds of today. Just now there is a
constantly growing demand for ex-
tremely large sheep, and in nearly all
the advertisements of the sheep breed
ers the great size of the animal is es-
pecially dWelt upon. Even the old
Merino breeds have been made larger
/; through this influence, and some sur
pFlSlHS weights are dQVerllSSu. Moth
ing, however, is said about the cost of
keeping these large-sized sheep. The
old, easy-keeping Soutndown is rarely
spoken Of, but probably when the
balancing of the total output and the
cost of keeping is made. the latter
will not be found far from the top so
far as actual profits are concerned.
This craze for large sheep is injuring
the wool product also. Just at pres
ent wool is in disgrace, and very few
farmers speak of it in glowing terms.
Those who keep sheep are doing it for
mutton more than for wool. With a
continuance of this process of raising
large mutton sheep at the expense OF
the wool product we will soon be I'M
able to boast of any ffrst-class wool
in this country. 1t is the inferior
grades of wool that are at all times
dragging in the market at low prices
The fine quality of wool is in demand
The time may soon arrive when the re-
action will come, and those who fol-
low the craze in producing large sheep
only so far as is consistent with a
good yield of fine wool will be the bet
ter off.-A. B. Barrett, in American

DEHoRNING CATTLE.


There was a time whsn / was bitterly
opposed to dehorning cattle IN the score
that it was an unnecessary and cruel
practice, but I have changed my mind
completely on that suDieet.
In the first place dehorning is nc
whit more cruel than otiler practices in
the treatment of domest'c live stock
that is continued without protest, as
they should be, and in. tne second place
the pain is of but sherl duration. whils
the benefits derived from daa3rning are
very beneficial in several ways. A de-
horned animal is prevented from inflict-
ing a serious wound upon other animals
or its owner; more dehorned cattle may
be kept in a given space with comfort
and this saves expense in building
shelter for them. They may not take
on fat more rapidly for the loss os their
horns, but they are quiet md do moi
worry each other. and / am inclined IL
think that a dehorned aDl.ndl will really
take on more weight fr5n. Il given
amount Of feed than one that is not,
provided its companions are also de-
horned.
L have noticed in the great stock yards
which have occasion to yisi. occas siln-
ally, that a lot of dehornad cattle lock
better than lot that mas not been pper-
ated on. Once 1 spoke to live stock
commission merchant about this and ne
said they no doubt looked Of more even
quality, because lot of horned cattle
with horns of every shape could not be
made to look uniform. asked him if
this made any difference in The price.
but he thought not at the time. Later
he told me that on a dull market he
was of the opinion that dehorned cattle
moved sooner than those with horns.
1 have practiced dehorning for two
years now and would not raise cattle
and let their horns grow.

methods. Now if they were properly
housed and not crowded, there would
be eggs: but why no disease? As the
flocks are small for the outside run they
get, by foraging, what by nature they
require in addition to what is fed them,
and therefore disease is not very pre-
yalent.
True, roup is fostered by crowding
and improper housing, but the great
foundation for it is the lack of a bal
anced feed, which is the case with
hocks so large that the forage is insult
ficient for the number, or yarding pre-
vents the procuring of same. Where
poultry is kept in large numbers this
becomes a puzzling problem when dis
ease and disaster appear, as they
surely will if not supplied with
proper feed. Doctoring and condition
powders may help the affected, while
the same improper system of feeding
which is incorrectly kept up will pro-
fowls are properly nourished why
should they not be in good health? If
not, debility of some sort must follow.
Can we not draw a lesson from the
