buy 10, 900 fowls and has not the money
WbereWith to secure them. He borrows
that money at 6 per cent interest from a
cold storage warehouse, or rather the
storage firm buy the poultry for him and
store it in their warehouse, giving him
the privilege of taking out as many as
he likes from time to time on the pay
ment of cash at the rate of one-third
cent per pound per month plus the in
terest ON the money advanced for the
original purchase Thus the cold storage
people become, as it were, brokers of
food stuffs and make a handsome profit
in this way.
The juices and steam from the i'm
prisoned meats in cold storage ware
house form frost on the pipes used to
convey the cold air to the refrigeratOrs.
This frost takes on all sorts of fantastic
and pretty effects, SO that the pipes are
really quite attractive at times. Barrels
of this frosty substance are daily re-
moved. 1t looks exactly like ice, but
when you lift pieces of it you find them
as light as thistle down.
The consignors of stuff to the cold
storage warehouses are, as a rule, the
market dealers, who in old days lost
thousands of dollars on unstable goods.
Now all they have to do is to pop left
over stuff into cold storage and try it
again. Meanwhile the gormand rubs
his hands over his delicacies, not know

DIR. William Everett of Massachusetts,

prestige of a historic and well beloved
name. He possesses character, learning,
eloquence, courage and eccentricities suffi-
clent to distinguish him in any assembly
OF distinguished men. He was chosen at
byelection to succeed Henry Cabot

zen thereof, carried it by a close shave.
He might be called and not improperly
or ALPHABETICALLY, a universal scholar He
has the right to add string of academic
titles to his name half foot long He has
been a professor at Harvard, and is a law

orator of uncommon force and fire.
In his maiden speech in congress he en-

deposited in a cavity" That linguistic
achievement at once attracted the atten-

the land commented on it.
He precipitated a tremendous ransack-
ing of dictionaries by using in one of his
speeches the word octopus" and by plac-

few days there was as much debate in
private circles touching the pronunciation

the interninable tariff question

Albert Dean of Kansas City,. head of the
L. S. live stock commission in the west,
met here with the state live stock board
in an advisory capacity, at its last meet
ing held Tuesday. The board adjourned
in the afternoon, without having done
anything decisive about the rules aud
regulations for the ensuing year, and
will await the action of the national
commission.

for the next year, the United States com
mission has backed up the Kansas board
i'll excluding the cattle of all of Texas,
of the states were north of the lire last
year. All of Missouri and Kansas is
above the new government line, but the
Kansas board will include in the quaran-
tine so far as Kansas is concerned, JAS
per, Newton and Mcdonald counties in
Missouri, and the two southeast town
ships in Cherokee county, Kansas.
la the new rules and regulations the
words Texas fever tick" will be substi-
tuted for the word "infection."
$50 many people cannot be made to be-
lieve that the Texas tick is the cause of
the Texas fever" said MIR. Dean, "They
will take oath that their cattle are free
from infection when the ticks are visible
on them"
Both the United States commission and
the Kansas board look with apprehen-
sion upon the. coming summer in the
cattle business.

Mr.. Dean, shat the eggs deposited have

the prairies along the line of

winter, the fear would be slight, but the
growth has progressed SO far now with
the waiting infection that we regard
next summer with great alarm"

mission and Local Option Later.
G. Nj. Irwin of Wichita, the assistant
state secretary of the Mystic Brother
hood, who was in Topeka last evening,
said few things about the growth of
the Mystic Brotherhood:
''The Brotherhood is growing over the
state. We have something like 1000
members in Wichita The organization
is now going on under the direction of
the state organizer, John Hoenscheidt,
who was also one of the founders of the
order
THE brotherhood has only one idea in
front of it now, and that is re-submis-
sion. If it hadn't been for that disgrace
full policy pursued by the administration
at Wichita there would never have been
any Mystic Brotherhood at all.
AFTER the present prohibitory law is
repealed there will be plenty of time to
look about for some way of controlling
the traffic in the state. I myself am in
favor of local option by townships. Peo-
pie can then have what they want and if
the others don't like it they can go over
into the next township think the
brotherhood may be said to be largely in
favor of local option. though it is not

sab" or you are asked to buy fruit or
cigars. To one who has visited the trop-
les for the first time it is an interesting
sight. More women than men are en-
ployed in coaling steamers, carrying
large baskets of coal on their heads much
easier than we could carry it with our
hands. Their habits and mode of living
are somewhat similar to the negroes in
our southern states. The merest excuse
of hut is sufficient for them to live in,
and their daily food consists of salt
meat, corn bread, green bananas and
yams. 1t is next to impossible to get
them to move quickly unless there is a
reward in sight. In many respects they
are like children. They must first be
taught and are willing to please so long
as you do not try to force them. The
majority will not work on Saturday or
Sunday, and no matter how important
the work may be they prefer to lose their
days wages in order to be out on the
street and go to the market. They are
happy and contented if they have but
one meal day, and don't seem to mind
it very much if they miss that, and never
bother themselves about the morrow. If
they were an industrious class, it would
not be necessary to import from the
United States about 5000, 900 worth of
corn annually. $158. 600 worth of pork
and beef. $156, 900 worth of butter and
S74O, 900 worth of -four. The total i'm
ports for the fiscal year ending March,
1894, were 81, 1852, 545, more than one
half the total imports from all other
countries combined. The principal ex-
ports from the island are fruit and log
wood, and the United States gets nearly
the whole of them. A large amount of
coffee and sugar is also exported, the
2ost of it going to the United States.

Especial Correspondence
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. 20.-The
tourist upon arriving at Kingston does
not form a very favorable impression of
Jamaica. There is no disputing the fact
that the city has been in a very poor
condition for years. The sewers are
above ground and in the center or at the
side of the streets. The sidewalks are
miserable, to say the least, and it is far
preferable to walk in the middle of the
streets, jump the sewers and dodge the
cabmen, who have no regard for pedes-
trians, than to keep on the uneven side
walks. This, however, will be remedied
to a certain extent, as the city fathers
have had the fact pounded into them
that the city is in a most wretched con-
ditiOn, disgrace to the island. An I'M
foreground sewerage system is now being
put in. They have an excellent water
system, and every house owner is COM
PEELED to place the water in each house
for the tenants, and no restrictions are
placed upon the amount of water to be
used. This. has greatly added to the
healthfulness of the city. Gas and cleo
trio lights are also in use.
The longer one remains in Kingston
the less favorable impression he has of
the island. The city is overcrowded
with poor, ignorant class, and it is a
wonder how they manage to exist. Upon
the arrival Of steamer the wharfs are
crowded with the natives, poorly clad,
and one is besieged on every side, and
