A New YORK butcher has given no.
tice that he intends to serve horse
meat to his customers. Secretary
Morton was called upon to prevent the
sale of horse meat but he writes that
there is no authority warranting the
interference of the United States
government in the sale of horse meat.
If the New York dudes want to eat
horse meat as they do in Paris, why
the best thing to 60 is to allow them
to indulge in their horse steak.

has attached to the false vault which

sufocated some of his victims. This
theory is substantiated by the imprint
of a woman's foot which has been found

iron door and the back wall, within
which limits there is barely room for
one to stand. The police say they
have sufficient evidence to convict
Holmes and Quinlan and every effort
is being made to get the evidence in
shape to present to the grand jury to-
morrow. Summing up the gist of the

authority of the police that they expect
