BATTLE OF TRUSTS.
J. y. Rockefeller, of Standard Oil
Fame, Win Fight the Beef Trust

New York. Aug. 24-New York butch
ers, cooperating with the retailers in
fight the beef trust to a finish.
They intend to establish independ-
ent slaughter houses. Independent sup
ply stations and independent distribut-
ing systems in all parts of the cOun-
try, completely severing their business
relations with the Big Five" the Ar
mOur, Swift, Morris, Cudahy and
Schwarzsehild & Sulzberger combina-
ton.
Those back of this great enterprise
estimate that they win be able to raise
at once from SIS, 000, 900 to $40 600, 600 to
carry it out. and they are confident that
more as may be necessary.
John d. Rockefeller is named as one
of the capitalists who viii put large
sums of money into the fight to down
the beef trust.
The Chicago packers, it was an
nounced from that city last night, as
sert that it will be impossible for the
retailers to carry out the plan. They
declare the Chicago packers have op-
lions on all the available cattle on the
western ranges, thus completely cor
nering the supply. Men back of the
antitrust movement, however, hold
that it would be impossible for the Chi
cago packers to corner the supply.
Subscriptions for $500 600 to build in
dependent slaughter houses in New
York have been received, and it is as
serted that the antitrust establish
ment to supply this city viii be in full
operation by next January.
The foregoing outline of one of the
most gigantic antitrust fights ever un-
dertaken was given out at a meeting
of the New York Retail Butchers as
SOclarIOn last night. A great many
members of the association were pres
ent and they cheered loudly when sew
eral speakers declared that the retail
ers and the public would not much
longer be at the mercy of the beef
trust

s,.marcl,. Favorite spot.

One strange result of Bismarck
death has been the stimulus that it has
given to lottery speculation in Vienna.
Never since the terrible catastrophe at
the Ring theater have the Offices been
crowded by SO many thousands of su-
perstitious spectators. The age Of the
departed statesman = S4-was, of
course, the favorite number, but it soon
became impossible to get even the frac-
ton of ticket. All the factors and
multiples of the number were next
bought up with eager interest, and
there was run on every other figure
even remotely connected with the
hero's life. Many serious gamblers de-
spise these arithmetical condolences
and follow the handbooks which assign
numbers to incidents and character
istics. One old woman entered an Of
flee and besought the clerk to tell her
what figures represented "Reichskanz-
ler." The compilers of the mystic lists
had omitted this important word.
However" said the official, "Stag's hill
was Bismarck's favorite spot"-it is, in
fact, his burial place-"and stag is 20
"a irst-class chance" The good lady
planked her hard-earned forin on the
stag, but had no luck. Indeed, the
drawings so far have gone dead against
the believers in signs and omens.-Lon-
don Vanity Fair.

IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
The Story Of q Lost Child Who Wa9
Found Recently by Smoking
Out the Sprites.

In village in the west of Irels:s8 o
few weeks ago child wandered away
into the country and was lost. Its anx-
ious parents, after weary and unavall-
ing search, reported the matter to the
constable in charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
preliminaries, because it was clear to
him that the poor child had been car
ried off by the fairies, according to
their well-known custom. The consta-
BILE told them to make fire and burn
in it as much of certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. Tho,
according to his instructions, they went
again in search of the child. He had de-
clared that the smoke of the burning
herb would force the fairies to bring
the child back, and, sure enough, on
going over the ground they had previ-
ously searched, they found the little
boy asleep beside stream, says the
New York Sun.
The reputation and authority of that
constable have now increased hum
dredfold in all the countryside, and
very few householders in those parts
now have the temerity to risk offending
"the good people," as they call the
fairies (much as the Greeks used to call
the furies "the Eumenides," or we'll
wishing ones), by omitting to leave out
every night the traditional bowl of milk
and the griddle cake for their benefit.
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish constabulary, he
has had to pass fairly stiff examina-
ton in order to be received into the
service.

Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult DR.. R. v. Pierce, by letter, abso-
1utely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by DIR. Pierce, has caused irnita-
tors to spring up, who make offers of free
advice, which they are not competent to
give, not being physicians. When you
are invited to "write to woman," ask
the simple question, is this woman
physician You will find that she is
not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, physician. To offer such advice
is deceitfu1. To receive it is dangerous.
