Purcell. poultry dealer in the Eastern
market. was charged by Inspector Hoover
of the health department with violating
the law In having on his bench. exposed for
sale, an unsound chicken. The fact that
the fowl was on the bench was not dis
puted. but it was claimed that 1t got there
by mistake. 1t was charged that the chick
en- died in the coop. and was dressed and
put on the stand. Health Officer Wood
ward was witness in the case. and he
told the court that the chicken in question
was unfit for food.
In defense. Mr.. Purcell said he gave in
structions that the chicken be thrown

other fowls and finally found it's way
through the mistake of an employe to the
bench in the market.
Judge Kimball said that the law was
intended to protect the public against un-
sound food. and SO far as he is concerned
he will impose fines when the officers prove
their cases.
A fine of $50 was imposed.

PROPOSED MARKET
Place Where Farmers Can Stand
With Their Wagons.

With Their Wagons.
The Commissioners this morning gave an
informal hearing to depdtation repre-
senting the farmers who are engaged In
the bringing of produce to town and SELL
Ing 1t at wholesale to grocers and market
dealers. They have heretofore backed
their wagons up against the sidewalk along
street, south of the market. In order to
get desirable locations they are obliged to
come into the city during the night, and
take I'D their stands with their wagons
long before daylight. thus exposing them
selves and their horses to considerable
hardship. for the choice of locations is Sc
cured upon the principle of first come first
served.
The wholeale Dealers through their depu-
tation today, suggested to the Commission
ers the desirabiIity of using the old market
square sort of wholesale produce mar
ket. Their plan involves the paving of the
square and the allotment of the ground in
sections of suitable size to the farmers, who
would agree to pay sum per annum for
the privilege, with the added advantage Of
having permanent locations and not being
required to come in the night before They
suggested that the ground be divided up
into sections about eight feet in width and
long enough to accommodate the wagons
and horses.
The plan seemed to meet with the favor
of the Commissioners. and an exhaustive
discussion of the situation followed. They
seemed to favor the erection of suitable
sheds. which would protect the produce
from effect Of the sun and rain. The depu-
tation said that the farmers would prob
ably be willing to pay 81 or IS a month for
the privilege. and as there are more than
a hundred. sometimes as many as two
hundred. a revenue Of between 5000 and
10000 would accrue. which would provide
for the paving Of the square, the erection
of sheds and hemaintenance of the
market.
The square Is large enough to supply
ample room for the purpose. and If the
plan Is finally carried out the wholesale
produce men will probably be given the
eastern end of the square. toward the
market while reservations will be made at
the other end for wagons containing hay
calves. sheep and hogs.
Commissioner Ross said that he would
call the matter up before a meeting of the
board. probably tomorrow. and he advised
the committee to get the farmers to hold
o meeting, which would empower a COM
mittee to make some definite proposition
and to come back with their full plans
later in the week.

A Small Strike.

There was a strike way up on top of the
pension building this morning. Three car
penters working under a contractor threw
up their job and threw down their tools
because of a difference about hours and
wages. They were eight-hour men. but
for three days had worked nine hours a
day. Their wages were to be $3.50 a day,
they say, but it is alleged they were cut
down to $2.24, and they received but one
days pay at $3.50.

FIRELESS PEOPLE OF TO-DAY,
An Abyssinian Tribe Knows Nothing of
Cooking-Primitive AndamaDites.

An Abyssinian Tribe Knows Nothing of
Cooking-Primitive AndamaDites.
If the eating of flesh food be in
stanced as distinction that separates
man from anthropolds, it can be urged
on the other side that the latter feed
on insects, and when in captivity by no
means despise flesh food. The first
man, too, was probably vegetarian, -
but necessity and the absence of sufi-
cient vegetable food for his augment
ing species may have driven him to a
flesh diet.
The cooking or roasting of meat
must be regarded as an acquisition of a
later epoch, because in the earliest
stages of mans development there was
undoubtedly a very long hreless period,
and because there are said to be fireless
people even in the present day, such as
the Dol1os, in Abyssinia, observes the
Fortnightly Review. The Australians,
too, knew nothing Of boiling and roast
ing food until the advent OF the Euro
peans. For the rest, all the savages
know how to kindle fire by the
well-known method of friction of
two sticks, or, what is simpler,
they take a torch along with them
on their wanderings that never
goes out. The Andamanites preserve
their lire by consuming the interiors of
hollow trees.
Since the Andananites have come in
contact with Europeans they have
superseded this method OF preserving
fire by the use Of matches, which are
very favorite objects with them. They
eat their food either raw or roasted,
less frequently boiled, as they have no
cooking utensils Moreover, according
to the latest accounts from Otto Luders
Of these savages, great mortality pre-
walls among them, and they withdraw
themselves into the woods more and
more at the approach of the Europeans.
They go completely or almost complete
~ naked, live in holes in the earth or
under exchanging rocks, or build
themselves a sort Of rough hut with
branches and leaves. Their weapons
are spears, bows and arrows tipped
with iron, which they seize as booty
from the wrecks of stranded ships.
Their hatchets and axes, formerly made
OF stone, are now made OF iron, and are
bound to the handle with thongs. They
only count up to three, and have nc
conception Of God or Immortality; they
believe in q good and bad spirit only,
hide their dead in the ground or throw
them into the sea or lay them on wood
en- scaffolds, dance to the tune of a
sounding board have a very keen sense
of yision-with their arrows they shoot
fish that no European can see-are of a
fierce, suspicious disposition, and, ac-
cording to Luders, they probably con
stitute the transition Of primitive ma
tions OF Indians to Australians, a rem
nant Of an extinct people. They are of
nearest kin to the Negriton Of the
Philippines. Their body height is fifty
six to ffty-nine inches.
