the food consumed by the fowls went di-

always be very. good; but much depends
upon whether the hens convert this food
into eggs, flesh, or the support OF their
bodies; but, as we have SAID, when the
feeding is properly conducted. the profit
procured is a satisfactory one. Another
fact which should also be considered Is
that when eggs are marketed they carry
from the farm but little of the nutritious
elements of the soil in proportion to their
value.

Eour Hundred Ont of Work.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 3~1.-Beginning to-
morrow, four hundred men heretofore en-
ployed by the Maryland Steel Company at
Sparrows' Point will be out of work for an
indefinite period. These men, who have
been discharged, comprise the entire work
ing force of the Bessemer steel and rail
mills. The action of Receiver Wood in
ordering the discharge has caused the
greatest surprise, as both mills have been
recently running night and day on orders.
The men affected were told TO report on
Tuesday for their money. 1t is feared that
the discharge will result in much suffering,
as most of the men have families dependent
upon them. When asked why the dis
charges had been made Receiver Wood
said that it was on account of lack of or
ders, and he cid not think that the stop
page of the mills would continue for more
than thirty or sixty days. The men, how
ever, say hat they DO not expect the
works TO start again.

AT O'BRIEN'S.
The Magical Gig "4-11-44" Drew a Good House and Lots of
 Censure.

Last year there were few bad perform ances put on at O. Brien's, some of them really bad, but last nights "beautiiul . merry, musical, farce comedy'' was the worst of all. While 'tis true there were three really good characters well worthy of good recommendation the others were simply sticks of the first class.
 Monte Collins, Emile Hensel and Miss Norma Wills are of too good timber to be placed in such company as their present surroundings. In fact, they are as spring water to the Mssissippi's flood to the others in the cast.
 Monte Collins in the tripple role of a tramp, an actor and negro servant, was really clever and won merited applause.
 Emile Hensel as an ideal Dutchman was extremely good, in fact, his better has not been seen at O'Brien's in long time.
 Miss Wills as the widow was decidedly good, her form and features being chased way beyond her associates. Her rich so- prano voice was pleasing to hear and elic- ,ited deservedly warm applause.
 Miss Rheta Mann, whose name appears in capital letters on the programmes, which really should have been printed in the smallest letters known to the typo, was decided disappointment, not even meriting sn1 applause throughout the entire per- formauce.
 There were other females in the cast whose forms, appearances and acting were not worthy of passing notice, and the same can be said of the males.
 The first act, which is supposed to be representation of a Bowery dive, is vile islander on that much abused (and justly sof portion of Gotham, and would have been more appreciated had it been left en- tirely out of the performance.

Gives Pete a Red Hot Dose Straight From the Shoulder--Any Kind
 of Prop.

WAsHINeToN, Sept. 12.-James J. Cor belt, the champion pugilist, gives out a statement in regard to the refusal of Peter Jackson to fight him, in which he says:
 "ln answer to the cowardly misstate- ments that have been circulated by Peter Jackson ,and the subterfuges that he has re- sorted to in order to crawl like a cur out of the proposed match with me, desire to make the following statement:
 "'I have stated emphatically all along that this nigger does not want to fight me. After the punching l gave him in San by the dastardly action of his California club friends, you could not get him in q ring with me with halter, and DO one knows it better than this same Peter Jackson. He has stated that he would not go south of Mason and Dixon s line on account of prejudice existing against bis color. He has thrown slurs upon the fairest people in the world-the southerners, who gave George Dixon fair play there-and Jackson proved himself rank quitter when he refused to go and meet me in New Orleans, when he knows that if by any luke he should happen to win, it would make him famous and inde- pendently rich for life."
 He refers to the propositions made by the Sioux City Athletic club and says: ''rhey bdNe agreed LO allOW tho men to DICK the referee, who must be satisfactory to Jack son." Now, if this nigger wants to fight l will name the man satisfactory to me now. The following are the acknowledged ref erees of this country:
 'tP. J. Donohue of New York, John ,Eckhart of New York, John Duffy of New Orleans, George Siler of Chicago, John Nelly of New York, Al Smith of New sHork.
 | k"Auy of these men are satisfactory to aee.o ,t
 EHe also says: "In conclusion, Mir. Pstsr Jackson, tell you plainly that will fight Wu privately or openly, Tn one week, one lqonth, two months or three mouths lime, for as much money as you can raise, purse or no purse, in q club, on a barge, n hack, in a room, or anywhere in America.
