Mary Had q Little Ram.

Mollie had little ram, fleece as black
as a rubber shoe, and everywhere Mollie
went he emigrated too. He went with
her to church one day-the folks hilarious
grew, to see him walk demurely into Dea-
con Aliens pew. The deacon quickly let
his angry passion rise and gave it an UNI
christian kick between the sad brown
eyes. This landed rammy in the aisle,
the deacon followed fast, and raised his
foot again, but oh, his first kick was his
last. For Mr.. Sheep walked back about
Il rod, It's said and ere the deacon could
retreat it landed him on his head. TIE
congregation arose and went for that ere
sheep, but several well-directed butts just
piled them in a heap. Then rushed they
straghtway for the door, with curses long
ard loud, while rammy struck the hind
most man and shot him through the
crowd.-AIenlphis Commercials

LARGE State CONVENTION
Want to Bring Christian EndeavOrers
to Scranton In 1896.
EFFORTS THAT ARE BEING MADE
Coming Convention at Erie VIII Decide
Whether or Not the Electric City Shall
DO Accorded tho Honor = Would
Bring 5000 Delegates Here.

When the delegates from the Scran-
ton Christian Endeavor union attended
the state convention at York, Pa, in
1894, they were instructed by the execu-
tive committee of the city union to
press the claims of this city for the con-
vention of 1896. The delegates were
provided with plenty Of "'96 amuni-
tion," as it is called by Christian
Endeavorers, and on their return re-
ported that the prospects Of the honor
being accorded to this city were very
bright.
No time was lost in pushing the
claims, and a committee Of seven was
appointed to conduct the campaign.
Arrangements were made by the
committee whereby blank petitions
were circulated throughout the state.
Many hearty and enthusiastic en-
dorsements have been received from
various county and city unions, which
indicate that Scranton will have abun-
dant assistance from the surrounding
unions in her effort to secure the con-
vention.
Allentown is the only formidable
rival in the field, and 1t Is anticipated
that much good-natured rivalry will
be shown at the coming Erie conven-
ton when the selection will be made.
Great Opportunity for Scranton.
If the claims OF Scranton are to be
pushed to successful issue hard work
counts for everything and the local
comrnittee Is to be commended on the
zeal displayed. If scrantonians would
but realize the magnitude Of the under
tal u
still more enthusiastic support If the
claims of Scranton are allowed 1t is ex-
pected that there will be 5000 delegates
from a distance in attendance at the
convention. The Importance of MAX
ing a final and strenuous appeal for the
'96 convention is apparent. Scranton
should maintain her reputation as ''The
City. of Conventions"
In the event of the convention being
held in this city it is thought that the
expense will be easily covered by $4,000,
although the committee anticipate that
81, 200 will suffice. Various plans have
been suggested to raise the amount,
and the committee believe that the ex-
pense will be met without calling for
personal contributions.
The question of hotel accommodations
is an important feature, but no diff
Guilty will be found in August, 1896, the

then boast of the most ample hotel
facilities.
Benefit Which Will Accrue to the City.
If building large enough to accom-
modate the 5000 delegates cannot be OBJ
tained in which to hold the mass meet
ings, the committee has already made
arrangements to secure a large tent.
The same methods are being employed
at the Erie convention this year.
The presence of 5000 delegates here
would boom the city as we'll as
give encouragement to Christian work
ers in the city and it's vicinity.

FIGURES ON BEEF TRADE.
Given by Member OF the Firm of
Armour and Company.

Z. J. Martyr, of the Chicago meat
firm of Armour & Co., has filed with
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington a sworn statement of the profits
and losses of that company's beef
slaughtering business during the last
sixteen months which purport to give
reasons for the recent Increase in the
price of meats.
Referring to the share the dressed
beef business had to stand in the COM
mercial hardships of the last two years,
Mr.. Martyr declares that during 1894
cattle were fairly plenty and the beef
slaughterers pushed the business to the
utmost, each trying to outvie the other
in the manufacture of dressed beef and
the opening of branch houses, while the
larger towns have from four to six
where one-half the number would easily
care for the business.
In the eastern markets, which are
the principal outlets, the public We're
short of both money and work, and
dragged the prices Of dressed beef down
to the lowest possible point, and as
dressed beef cannot be held any more
than fresh fish, they got 1t very cheaply
1t became at the first of the year ap-
parent that cattle were short, and beef
slaughterers were obliged to put their
delivery houses on shorter commons
Cattle and beef began to advance slow
ly, eliminating in April, when live
cattle We're. on an average, $1.5O per
hundred pounds higher than in jan
uary. Retailers got excited and pushed
their prices up, fearful that the ad-
vance would continue and their next
supply cost them more.
Enclosed in the document presented
by Mr.. Martyr is an abstract from the
books of Armour G. Co., showing results
on 421,72O cattle slaughtered and
marketed in the year ending Nov. 3,
1894, of an average loss per head Of II
4-10 cents.
A similar showing on 54,344 cattle
slaughtered and marketed during Nov
ember and December, 1894, exhibit a
loss per head of 16 7-10 cents, while bet
ter figures are given on 56.94S cattle
slaughtered and marketed during Jan
uary and February, 1895. in which a
gain per head Of 45.1S cents is recorded,
with one of 81 cents per head on 44.352
cattle slaughtered during the period be-
tween February 25 and April 20.

Provisions of New Act Which Was
Framed to Overcome Evil.
The new anti-sweat shop act II prop
erly enforced will in a short time prob
ably stamp out the worst evils in con-
nection with the home manufacture Of
goods intended for sale. The chief fac
tory inspector has been authorized to
appoint eight deputy inspectors, whose
duty 1t shall be to enforce the law.
They are to receive $1,000 year and
travelling expenses.
1t is particularly specified in the act
that no room or apartment In a tene-
ment house or dwelling house shall be
used except by the immediate men,
bers of the family living therein for
the manufacture of coats, vests, trous-
ers, knee pants, overalls, cloaks, hats,
caps, suspenders. jerseys, blouses,
waists, Wristbands, underwear, neck
wear, furs. fur trimmings, fur gar
ments, shirts, hosiery, purses, feath-
ers, artificial flowers, cigarettes or
cigars.
No person is to be employed in any
rear building of a tenement house at
making any of the articles specified,
unless a permit has first been obtained
from the factory officials, stating the
maximum number of persons who may
be employed therein. The permit is
only to be granted after an inspection
of the premises has been made and
may be revoked for cause at any time.
very important portion Of the act
Is that which requires every person,
firm, or corporation contracting for
the manufacture of any articles men,
toned in the act or giving out incom-
plete materials for finishing, shall keep
written register of the names and
addresses of all persons to whom such
work is given. and the factory in

HORSE RECEIVES A SHOCK,
Broken Leg and Death Caused by Livery
Arc Light.

A valuable gray horse owned by the
Adams Express company, received
shock of electricity in Cusick's livery
stable last night. In falling he broke a
hind leg and had to be shot. The de-
tails of the accident are peculiar.
The animal, with it's mate, was on
the basement floor and being harnessed
by Night Stableman Foley. The horse
was large fellow He poked his nose
up against an arc light and received
shock which sent him quivering in a
heap upon the asphalt flooring.
Foley, who had hold of the bride, re-
ceived light shock, but was sent reel
ing for several feet. The shock did not
seriously inJure the horse, but in falling
his own weight horribly crushed hind
leg.
Veterinary Surgeon Sitterly was
called. He perceived that the injured
leg could not be treated and ordered
the horse shot.
