HAIR BRUSHES, ETc.-EwINe BROS,
A NEW MEAT INDUSTRY.
Chicago Record.

]
A letter from Mr.. Tingle, United
/ States Consul at Brunswick, Germany,
to the State Department throws an in
teresting side light on the meat ques-
ton in that country. :
The chief demand for American
meats, especially pork and its products,
comes from the poorer classes OF Ger
many. and it was these that were the
| largest consumers of American pro-
visions. The prohibition of American
cattle in the German markets has ere
ated a new demand, the supplying of
which may destroy eventually the de-
mand for American meats. The price
of beef is from Is to % cents pound,
and the German workingman, who re-
| ceives from 70 cents 10 81 a day, is de-
prived of its use as food more than once
a week, which is not sufficient. The
supply has been made up by the use Of
horse meat, which is sold at cents a
pound. and is said by Mr. Tingle to be
an excellent food in every particular. -"
The prejudice in Germany against the
use of horse meat for FOOD is rapidly
disappearing and so long as the price
remains about as it is the demand will
increase.
At present the German butchers pay
from S45 to $50 for horses, but already
the demand is beginning to increase the
price Mr. Tingle advises the Ameri-
can farmer to go into the business Of
raising horses to supply the German
food market. He. says they can be
raised cheaper than cattle, and can be
more easily shipped across the water.
As American beef and pork are eXclu-
ded from the German markets he rec
ommends that the place of these two
products be filled with horse meat
Last fail horses sold at auction in
Nebraska at from S. to $40 each. The
short crops had something to do with
this low price, but the falling off in the
demand for horses by reason of the in
PRODUCTION Of electricity as a motor tho
bicycle and other causes, had far more
to do with fixing the price. 1t is doubt
full if the prejudice against the use Of
horsefesh as food will ever be wholly
overcome, and the Germans can eat our
surplus horses while we keep and con-
sumo our beef and pork.

The Republican organs make much

tax on beer nor to resort to any other

in regard to revenue and in removing
grievous distractions to commerce and

NO DEMAND FOR MONEY.

London, June 23.-The money market
is In a helpless condition. A great
amount of money cannot even find Dor.
rowers, and the end of the half year will
be gotten over easily. but hopes Of re-
lief from improving trade are shattered
by the political crisis. The stock mar
ket has been quiet, even for an Ascot
week. Speculation demand for the best
securities and repurchases of South
American shares have been the only
feature. This dizziness will undoubt-
eddy increase, in view Of the coming

CLAUS sPRECKEL's WORDS
He Is Very Earnest in His POSI-
ton Regarding the
Lease.

During discussion of the situation
President Claus Spreckels said yesterday:
The committee appointed at the last meet
ing drew up letter which fully explains the
position of the board OF directors.
"The Governor has intimated that he
believes you don't want China Basin
now?"
OF course cannot help what he says. But
we do want 1t. Why did we ask for it and send
two men to Sacramento to get bill through
the Legislature giving us lease to China
Basin? You can state authoritatiyely from me
that the Valley road is anxious to have China
Basin; but we don't want it hGmpered with
provisions such as are in the lease submitted
to the board. And you can state that l deny
any statement TO the effect that we don't want
China Basin. We want it under terms that
would allow us to issue bonds on the road.
The law says that we shall get China Basin
for fifty years at a rental of $1,000, but here
they have put on additions and amendments
that change altogether the spirit of the lease.
What good is railroad without terminus?
That is the question that would be asked by
capitalists who would consider bonds on the
property. Now there is building across the
street, for instance, and its title is clouded.

AS LIVING PICTURES,
Society People Will Pose In
the Name of Sweet
Charity.
Fashionable Entertainment to Be
Given in the Maple Room of
the Palace.

For two weeks past society has been
whispering TO itself all sorts of pleasing
things about living pictures being dis
played in charity's name, but the matter
only assumed definite shape at meeting
held at the Century Club yesterday after
noon. Some eight or ten pronounced
society leaders were present, among whom
were the Misses Withrow, Mrs. Francis
Edgerton, Mrs. Margaret Touchard, Miss
Marjorie Gibbon, the Misses Castle and
Miss Moody.
The ladies determined to give a series
of tableaux for the benefit of the Girls
Exchange, an enterprise just in its infancy
and fashioned after the Woman's Elk
change. The Girls Exchange, however,
will in no way conflict with the last
named institution.
The object Of the exchange is to afford
poor girls aud girls who by misfortune OF
otherwise are IN reduced circumstances
an opportunity of disposing of any article
of fancy work or any other kind made by
themselves. The system to be adopted
is fair and just to all, eliminating all idea
of favoritism as each article is numbered
and the name of the maker is known only
to the management.
The exchange is really an auxiliary OF
the California Club, and will be domiciled,
for the present at least, in one of the
rooms occupied by the club at 131 Post
street.
The entertainment will be given in the
Maple room of the Palace, May 16, and
will be managed by Miss Withrow, assisted
by Mrs. Frances Edgerton. Twenty-Five
young ladies have promised to take part
in the affair, and it will unquestionably be
one of the social events of the season.
Twelve tableaux will be presented, as fol-
lows: Spring" Summer" Autumn, y
Winter 1.-The Months" 'The Winds
Present." Future" 'Pleiades,' "The
Graces," and California" In each of the
first four there will be young ladies, in
the months" II, the "Winds" 5, the
"Muses" 8, the "Graces" and "Fates''
each, "Pleiades'' Z, and in California" %
young society buds will be seen.
The costumes will all be white and white
background, the colors showing only in
the lights.
Music will precede each tableau and it is
the determination of the management to
have each selection suit the tableau. This
part of the entertainment will be under the
direction of Miss Marie Withrow. assisted
by the following young ladies': Miss Ad-
Ter, Mrs. Allerdyce, Miss Ford, Miss
Whittemore, Miss White, Miss Doyen,
Miss Crosse, Miss LANCE, Miss Byler.
The young ladies who will assist in the
tableau are: Miss Morgan, Miss Goodwin,
Miss Champlin, Miss Gonzales, Miss May
Hooper, Miss Blanche Baldwin, Miss
Sarah Bancroft, Miss Mamie McMullen,
Miss Anna Shepherd, Miss May Sharon,
Miss Elsie Marsh, Miss Marie Zane, Miss
Blanche Castle, the Misses Gibbons, Miss
Helen Stubs, Miss Bessie Bedell, Miss
Lottie Wood.

A CHINESE DAMAGE SUIT.
Lee Fee Kee Wants $4,000 From the
Market-Street Railway Com
pany.

A Chinese merchant has brought big
damage suit against the Market-street
Railway Company, and his attorney is fully
confident of winning the case. The plain
tiff asserts that his wife was killed by one
of the company's cars, and he places her
value at $50, GOO. He also asks judgment
for $500 doctors fees and $3.50 funeral ex-
perses.
The plaintiff is Lee Fee Kee merchant
OF Winnemucca. On the 10Th of June,
1884 his wife, Chin Choy Fong, took car
at the corner of Dupont and Clay streets to
ride out to the Park Turning into Lake
street she was according to the complaint,
thrown violently into the street and re-
celved injuries from which she died five
months later. The blame is placed upon
the grlpman and conductor who are
charged with gross negligence. It will
probably be three or four months before
the case comes to trial.

will do next. They wanted the China Basin
for terminal purposes, and we are willing to dc
all in our power under the law to help them
out. They have refused TO accept the contract
under which the China Basin was to be leased
to them, and their refusal leaves US nothing to
do in the matter.
"Are you of the opinion that the Valley
road people do not want to secure posses
sion of this place for a. terminal of their
railroad?"
Such suggestion was made yesterday
at the meeting at which Governor Budd
was present.
II do not wish to express an opinion on
this matter. Let the public be the judge"
From your point Of observation have
you any idea that the project of having
terminal in this City will be abandonedP'
was asked.
81 am not prepared to discuss what
may be done by what has been done. We
are waiting to see what the Valley road
people will do or propose next. Until
they make some move we can do nothing y

THREE DECIDED OPINIONS.
James Cross, AlVlnza Hayward and
Thomas Magee Agree on I'M
pOrtant Points.

James Cross, one of the trustees of the
San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railroad, talked straight to the point in
expressing his opinions of the distractions
to securing China Basin as terminal. He
evidently believes that unless the objec-
tionable features in the lease are removed
the competing road will not reach San
Francisco. He says:
The object of the subscribers to this road is to
build q competing road in the interest of all
the people of this State. Those in authority
who are disposed to interpose amendments to
the lease of China Basin will not be consid-
cred friends of this State. l believe Governor
Budd is careful, prudent man and that when
he considers this matter thoroughly he viii
recede from the position he has taken in re-
gard to this lease. Unless they do recede from
the position they have taken 1t will be impos-
sible TO build the road as contemplated.
While Director Alvinza Hayward, who
was present, declined to be interviewed
upon the subject he plainly showed that
he indorses the sentiments expressed by
Mr.. Cross.
There was no uncertainty in the tone OF
Director Thomas Magee in discussing the
matter of leasing China Basin. His opin-
ion was as follows:
So far there is not one thing to show that the
promoters of the Valley railroad are acting in
other than good faith and there is no re ason
for any one to intimate, directly or indirec thy,
that we are likely to act IN bad faith, as has
been done by sticking in the Objectionable
amendments in the lease. So far the promoters
have shown that they have the interests of the
people at heart quite as much as those who
now come in and try to put strings around the
project. If we wished to act in bad faith all
the strings the authorities can put on will not
stop us.
"What will be the result is the lease is
not changed more to your satisfaction"
The result will be that the Valley railroad
viii not reach San Francisco. We are bound to
put the road through, and if we cannot get q
terminal in San Francisco without being tied
up in the manner proposed in the lease. we
viii secure a terminal somewhere else. If it is
the wish of any one in authority to prevent the
Valley road from coming into this city let them
insist upon the clauses and amendments in
the lease that we have objected to.

The news of the suicide of R. w. Janney
of Pasa Robes, son of the Janneys, wealthy
and influential people of Santa Clara
County, was brought from Samoa by the
Mariposa
The young man, who was "a years of age
when he died, went TO Apia over two years
ago for his health, being sufferer from a
severe attack of brain fever. His mind
seemed to be affected, but his cratic
actions were not considered so serious as
to necessitate placing the young man
under restraint.
He married a Samoan lady named Miss
Nellie Pita in 1898 and soon after he be-
came so violent as to require watching.
He fancied that a conspiracy was being
formed against him and that some Nor
mons were seeking his life. On April 10
he obtained possession of repeating rifle
and locking himself in his room blew his
brains ont with the weapon. The remains
were buried in the Apia cemetery the same
day.
