HORSE MEAT ~ GERMANY.


IOOr itpHle.
WASHINGTON, April Elm view OF the
closing Of German markets TO American
cattle, there Is another direction towards
which American packers might we'll turn
their attention. and that Is the prepara-
ton and sale Of horse meat. The above
is the suggestion made by United states
Consul r.. W. 1ingle at Brunswick. Ger
many, in a report to the State Depart
ment. He says that in large German
cities the consumption Of horse meat is
almost as great as that Of beef and NUT
towns or course. the customers are OK
clusiVely of the poorer classes, but they
comprise ninc-tenths OF the consumers
Of the country, and the meat is sold for
seven cents a pound. as against beef at
from fifteen 10 twenty-five cents. The
consul sets out TO prove that horse meat
Is quite as good as beef. He says the
demand has increased 80 rapidly I'm Ger
many that II Is difficult TO meet il, and
whereas butchers formerly paid from s.
TO $40 for "A wornout horse for slaughter,
they now pay $i5 and $50. and prices are
rising The consul sees here a great Op-
portunity for American packers. He says
the horse supply IN America is practically
incxhaustibie: they can be raised in the
West cheaper than cattle, and are more
easily shipped The meat cannot be
canned, but IL can be furnished salted or
smoked as well as fresh just as IL is used
In Germany The report touches upon
the astOnishingly rapid disuse OF horses
in America consequent upon the introduc-
ton of the trolley car. which has made
horse-raising in the West unprofitable
and urges that the ranchmen may find
relief by raising horses for food, the pre-
ildice against the meat In America be-
ing no good reason why he should not
profit by the different state of things in
another country.

THE TRIAL OF GENTRY.
Sensational Turn in the Line of Defense.
A Denial.

PHILADELPHIA, PA June 2O.-Sensa-
tional rumors have come to light that
there will be a change in the line Of
defence in the trial of JANE S B. Gentry
for the murder of Actress Madge York.
1t is limited that the defence will now
endeavor to show that Gentry killed
the girl because he belived that her
love for Miss Ida Clark, her actress
friend and companion was of q morbid
and unnatural character, similar to
that shown to have existed in the
Freda Ward and Alice Mitchell case.
These rumors have reached the ears
of Miss Clark, who is pow in this city,
and she to day sent a note to an after
noon paper, declaring that she has
been informed that her character and
that of her dead friend is to be be-
smeared by Gentry's lawyers. She
denounces the runners as outrageous
slanderoua and asserts that her rela-
lions with Madge were those Of pure
and disinterested affection;
