Mutton a SPLENDID Meat.

What kind of meat is superior or in
deed equal to good mutton? Why is it
not more used in America? Partly be-
cause many do not know the taste of
it. They have never eaten mutton.
Partly because of the miserable quality
Of much of the mutton marketed. Nut
ton grown much of the season on dry
grass and then fattened on corn will
not be of the best type. Much OF it
will not be of good tyre and more of
it will be of an inferior type. And
partly because many of those who eat
mutton have not learned to eat it in
the best form. They must needs have
it warm because they have not learned
from experience how excellent it is
when eaten cold. Especially is this
true of we'll fattened mutton, at least
so say the connoisseurs, and they
ought to know. The fat Of mutton
eaten warm is an oily morsel, not so,
however, the fat of the same when
eaten cold. There is as uucil differ
ence probably between fat mutton hot
OF warm OF cold, as between butter
melted and the same article when firm
and hard Northwestern Farmer.

Paving the Way for n Change in the
Policy of China.
Shanghai, China, Sept. 6.-There are
reports in circulation here among peo-
pie of the highest authority which, if
correct, show that the travels Of Lii
Hung Chang in Europe are likely to
have in the immediate future a most
important effect upon the policy of
the Chinese government, and that the
interior of the Chinese empire will
shortly be thrown open to free trade.
1t is understood that the Chinese gov
eminent has practically decided to
take steps at an early date to make
considerable extension in the railroads
of the empire, and q foreign railway
board, organized on the basis of the
foreign customs commission, may be
entrusted with this task. The emperor
of China is known to be favorably dis
posed toward the extension Of the rail-
road service of China, and with free
trade, the adjustment Of all transit
dues and an improved system of rail
roads the travels Of Ii Hung Chang
may be the means of awakening China
into new life and prosperity, and open
to the commerce of the world markets
which have hitherto been uselessly
closed.

SAD HOME COMING
DIR. THOMAS GALLAGHER AGAIN ON
AMERICAN SOIL.
After Serving Thirteen Years in
English Prisons, the Doctor Re-
turns Home With His Mind n
Complete Wrcclk-He RecoEnfzes
His Brother but None of His Many
Friends.

New York, Sept CDR. Thomas Gal
lagher, who was liberated last week
after serving thirteen years penal
servitude in Chatham and Portland
prisons, arrived here to-day on board
the American liner st. Paul. He was
met at quarantine by q delegation of
representatives of Irish societies in
this country. Among those who went
aboard the st. Paul to greet him was
James Gallagher, brother of the re-
leased man. DR.. Gallagher recognized
his brother at once, but he was in q
very eXcitable mood and acted very
strangely. DIR. Anthony Mcbride, who
accompanied DR.. Gallagher across the
ocean, would not permit any of the
newspaper men to speak to his charge.
1t was evident that the doctors mental
condition was total wreck. He looked
to be fully twenty five years older than
when he left America a little over
thirteen years ago. When the men,
bers of the delegation of Irishmen were
presented to him the doctor was I'M
able to recognize any Of them, and
also Immediately ran away through
the corridors, shouting loudly and inco-
herent}y. He was followed by two Of
the bed room stewards, but before they
grasped his arms he threw a handful
of pennies through one of the portfolio
windows and shouted, II have got my
fare over the ferry at any rate" AS
soon as the attendants got him under
control the doctor turned to them ap-
pealingly and said: my God, is this
the way an American citizen must be
treated?"
He broke away from the attendants
again, but they finally locked him up
in Il room. When he quoted down one
attendant was left with him, and DR..
Mcbride asked all the poor fellows
friends not to disturb him for some
time. When asked as to the doctors
condition, DR.. Mcbride said: II have
not examined Dr.. Gala CHER, and can
not say whether he has suffered any
bodily injury from his treatment in
prison. He complained frequently that
he was treated very harshly, and said
that three of his ribs were broken in
Chatham prison. His general health
is in precarious condition, and men-
tally he is in very delicate state. 1t
will be necessary for him to have abso-
lutte quiet for fully twelve months, and
then l am not quite sure that he will
recover sufficiently to have the use of
all his faculties"
AS soon as the st. Paul reached her
dock the doctor, accompanied by his
physician and two intimate friends,
drove from the pier to an uptown no
tel, from whence he will probably be
taken to sanitarium tomorrow.
