THE PRESIDENT
Spends a Quiet Sunday at
His Brothers Home.
Is Much Amused by the Remarks Of
An Aged German,


Somerset. Pa. Aug. 2s.-President
Mckinley came to Somerset, to pass
a restful day and he has certainly ac-
complished that purpose. The weather
was delightful and the President has
taken advantage OF It.
He arose. early this morning, and
passed an hour walking about town
with his brother Abner. Here and
there he met an old acquaintance and
stopped for short talk.
The Presidents determination to at
tend the morning service at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church early became
known. Mrs. Mckinley did not attend
church. "
Rev. Mr.. Cameron preached, the SER
mon occupying about IS minutes. and
there was nothing in It to Indicate that
it had been prepared for the Presiden-
|. tiaf lear.
\ rat the close Of the benediction the
President left the church at once with
his brother and walked directly to the
latter's home.
few minutes later the President
and Mrs. Mckinley and Mr.. and Mrs.
Abner Mckinley entered the latter's
carriage and enjoyed a drive to the
country.
While the President was sitting on
the porch. this morning, an aged Ger
man. who probably retains some
favorable impression of pomp OF the
fatherland, was driving past. Noticing
the President he pulled his horse up
suddenly and said loud enough to be
heard square away:
Why. Mr.. President. you don't look
like the rulers in the old country. You
don't wear crown and you dress just
like other men,
A smile and pleasant bow was the
Presidents reply.
Saturday afternoon President and
Mrs. Mckinley spent pleasant hour
at Camp Meade. Middletown. Pa,
reaching there at o'clock. They were
met by Gen. Graham and stan, and
the LIST Delaware Regiment. which was
detailed as guard of honor
The regiment was drawn up along
the road leading to the camp, and
when the President and other guests
had been seated in open carriages, the
regiment presented arms, and the band
played "rhe Presidents March" The
party was driven to general headquar-
ters. under escort of Gen. Graham and
staff.
After a hurried inspection OF the
quarters of the general and his stan.
President and Mrs. Mckinley were
driven through the camp.
The President was much pleased
with the location Of the camp and the
appearance and condition of the men.
The various regiments were drawn up
in line to receive the party when they
arrived at their quarters.
The President visited the division
hospital and the hospital which the
Red Cross Society OF Philadelphia has
established for the care Of the most
serious cases.

BYRNE WINS The FIGHT.
He Secures the Contract For
Cleaning Streets and
Removing Ashes.


The Street and Water Commissioners
met this morning and received bids for
sweeping and cleaning of the streets and
removing the ashes and garbage. 1t was
expected that there would be at least five
bidders, contractors from Bayonne and
Hoboken having declared their intention
of submitting proposals. When bids were
called for it was found that only the old
competitors, Harrington and Byrne, were
in the race.
Last year Byrne secured the remova
of the ashes and Harrington the cleaning
of the streets. The contractors were not
on friendly terms and there were frequent
clashes from which the work suffered 1t
was the difficulty hat was experienced in
keeping the contractors in order that
caused the Commissioners to consolidate
the work and put it all under one con-
tract.
When the bids were opened today 1t was
found that Byrne had been victorious.
HIS bid was for SO per cen of the stand
ard fixed by Engineer Van Keuren. Har-
rington wanted s11a per cent OF the
standard.
The Commissioners will award the con-
tract to Byrne at their next meeting, SO
that he will be able to commence work on
December l, the beginning of the fiscal
year. Byrne has a plant which Will
enable him to do the whole work salts
faetorily.

Health inspectors Report in
Favor of the Horse and
Mule Slaughter House.

Health Inspectors Weastell and Nevin
of the County Board of Health, nave been
engaged in making an inspection of a
horse and mule slaughter house, located
in Kearny and owned by Frederick Lusen-
kop, with a view of having it suppressed
if it was found to be a nuisance. They
were unable, however, to find any ground
on which to make a complaint. Horses
and mules are slaughtered there the same
as cattle are slaughtered at the abattoir,
the meat is sailed and picked and shipped
to foreign countries, where it is sold and
used for human food. The principal con-
sumers are Sc~andfnavians and Norweg-
ians. Mr.. Lusenkop assured the inspec-
tors that none of the meat is sold or
consumed in this country.
Michael ]. Kaiser, a veterinary surgeon
In Newark, inspects every animal before
1t is killed and also examines the pre-
pared meat before it is shipped away
Kaiser says that horse and mule meat is
en- it himself. The inspectors found a
number of horses and mules in the, pen
connected with the establishment await
ing slaughter and concluded from their
gaunt and worn out appearance that they
would cheerfully welcome death. The
animals, after they have become useless
for any other purpose are purchased in
New York, Newark and surrounding
cities for 50 or 81 a head and transformed
into food. The business is said to be
thriving and as there Is no law to pre-
vent it will probably continue to thrive.
