THE BEEF TRUST.
How Four Men Control the Price of Beef from the Pasture to the Din- ner Table.

hhSh
 No man, woman or rchild-or govern ment-can escape the Beef Trust, or dispute its power. It is absolute in it's domination of the home; in its ability to compel payment of tribute to 1t, The home of the humblest citizen of the United States furnishes pertinent example of its control of the meat sup ply of the country. It has just raised the price of its product 30 per cent to wholesale dealers. That means that the family fare of the poor man will contain 30 per cent less meat than il did week ago, or meat of 30 per cent inferior quality.
 Scarcely a score of years has this trust existed, with meagre combined capital of S5,000,0 900 at the start, and an income of S400, 900 year. Then there were rival concerns, because none of them were called trusts in those days. But Tn ten years the rival con cerns were wiped out, or absorbed, " and the beef trust became supreme. It is supreme today, composed of four firms whose membership does not ex- ceed twenty men. Yet it is doubtful if there are twenty other men in all the world whose power is brought so di- rectly to the home of every citizen as the power of these twenty.
 The four firms of which they are ac- tive members transact a business of S335, 900, 900 year, divided in about this proportion:
 Armour X Co.,, S130, 1000, 900 Swift X Co.,, 90,000, ,000 Cudahy, 10000, 00U Nelson Morris & Co.,, 75,000, ,000
 There is fifth firm, Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, which acts as general dis tributer in New York and besides main tains packing houses of its own in the West. But AS it only has business of trifing SIP, ,000, 900 a year, it is not ranked in the first class.
 The combined incomes of the firms comprising the trust exceeds Sl9, ,300,. 900 year. It IS the closest corpora tien in the United States while appar- eDtly maintaining independent rela- tions between firms composing the trust, All the reductions in the price to be paid cattle raisers and increases in the price of meat to consumers are decided upon by Armour X Go.
 The other firms in the trust accept the quotations of Armour X Go. There is never any cutting of rates to con- sumers; no increase in the price to be paid to producers. Agents of the trust in the cattle raising districts keep down the quotations for beef when the trust is buying. Other agents of the l trust regulate the supply of slaughter ed cattle, pork and sheep to wholesale | dealers in such manner as to force | prices up. For ten years successively | there has been gradual increase in the prices the trust demanded for its product There has not been single | reduction in price in any year.
 ''Lower, lower," has been the motto | of the trust in buying cattle from the | cattle raisers.
 Higher, higher" is the demand of | the agents of tLe trust for itf slaughter ed product. N Y. World.

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mir. John Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject, is narrated by him as follows; ''I was in most terrible condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortu- nately, friend advised trying Electric Bitters; and to my great joy and sur.
 prise, the first bottle made decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim. i" No one should fail to try them. Only 5 cts., guaranteed, at Hitchcock's drug store. 5

New form of Money Order.

The postoffice department has adop- ted a new form of domestic money or der, which is somewhat smaller than the order now in use. Its dimensions are about those of the ordinary bank draft. It has two adIuncts, the advice or notification to be sent by the issu- ing to the paying postmaster, is a re- production of the order through the use of the carbonized paper the mani fold process) and receipt for the amount, to be furnished by the issuing postmaster to the remitter.
 On the back of the order separate space has been provided for the stamps of banks through which it may passed for collection. In color the order is blue, having light blue ground, with fine, closely interlaced, tinted lines of geometrical lathe work of darker shade. In the center is an escutcheon bearing the words postal money or der' in shaded capital letters of the same two tints of blue. The tint of the order and the lathe work will serve to prevent limitations; but as an additional safeguard against counter feiting, horizontal water mark com posed of the initials ''U. s. NJ. O." in broad capital letters has been wrought into the paper on which the new form is printed. Through the process men, toned the carbon or manifold pro- cess the order and the advice are pro- duced simultaneously. By the same operation the essential particulars of name of payee, date, amount and place of payment, as written in the order, are duplicated or reproduced and made to appear in the advice pre- cisely as in the order.

TIE LOVES OF SAILORS.
Ideal Life of Lord Hawke--story oi
Lord Collingwood, Hero of
Trafalgar.

Instancesof domestic felicity among
sailors of high rank are not uncommon
lin fact, famous sailors ever have
seemed to possess that profound admi-
ration and respect for womanhood and
those gentle qualities Of heart that in
sure such felicity. Among these in
stances is the ideal life of Admiral Lord
Hawke, of the British navy, and his
beloved wife Kitty. Although monu-
ments do not always tell the truth, the
inscription on theirs is said to be alb
solutely correct, that "the beauty OF her
person WINS excelled only by the accom-
pllshed elegance of her mind" and that
''in their eonjugal duties they were
equaled by few, excelled by none"
An admiral who, in the midst of dan
gerous and difficult work, thought
much about his family and domestic
ties, was Lord Collingwood, one of the
heroes of Trafalgar, who was married
to the daughter Of an alderman of New
castle. While conducting an arduous
campaign he wrote the following to his
wife regarding their daughters:
IT beseech you, dearest Sarah. be-
seech you, keep them constantly en-
ployed; make them read to you, not
triAes, but history, in the manner we
used to do In the evenings; blessed
evenings, indeed! The human mind
will improve itself II 1t be kept in ac-
tiou, hut grows dull and torpid when
left 10 slumber. believe even stupidi-
ty itself may be cultivated" Writing
TO his daughters. he said;
"My darlings, little Sarah and Mary,
was delighted with your last letters,
my blessings, and desire you to write
me very often and tell me all the news
OF the city OF Newcastle, hope we
shall have many happy dnys and many
q good laugh together yet" In other
letters he gives to his daughters ad-
vice about the management OF temper,
letter writing and other practical mat
ters,
No day passed in which Lady Colling-
wood had not her husbands blessing
and his paryers for her happiness. nor
was he unmindful OF such anniversaries
as her birthday or her wedding day.
Thus In letter with the address:
"Ocean," and the date June 10, 1905,
he writes; '.This day, my love, is the
anniversary Of our marriage, and wish
for many returns Of 1t. II ever we have
peace, I hope 10 spend my latter days
amid my family, which is the only sort
OF happiness enjoy."-Chicago Even

ENGLAND'S FAMOUS SAILOR.
Day of His Life Was when
He Married.

Nelson at Trafalgar and Dewey at
Manila frequently have been COM
pared to show that each possessed
many Of the same qualities and many
of the same ideas in regard to naval
warfare. II would now seem that IN
tone they also possessed in common
many traits.
Nelson was fully as impetuous lover
us Dewey has proved himself to be,
though less determined, 1t would ap-
pear, upon the feminine heart he
coveted. When Nelson commanded
the Albemnrle he had narrow cs-
cape from matrimony. The ship was
about to leave Quebec. and had gona
down the river to the place of anchor
nge. Next morning, as Alexander
Davis, friend of Nelson, was walk
ing on the beach, he saw, to his aston
ishment- Nelson landing from his
boat. Nelson took Davis by the arm
to walk toward the town and eN-
planned he had found it impossible to
leave Quebec without again seeing the
woman whose society had contributed
30 much to his happiness there, and
offering her his hand
''If you do" said his friend, "your
utter ruin must inevitably follow"
"Then let it follow" said Nelson,
''for I am resolved to do it."
"Apd l." said Davis, "am resolved
you shall not"
Nelson, however, upon this occasion
was less resolute than his friend and
allowed himself to be led back to the
boat,
The second attachment which Nell
son formed was with Miss Andrews,
the daughter of an English clergy
man, when he was on half pay and
staying at st. Omer, It was less ar
dent than the first, and he got over it
when he left France. Getting another
ship called the Boreas, he sailed to the
West Indies. At Antigua the woman's
sympathy and adulation, which were
almost necessity to Nelson, were
supplied by Mrs. Montroy. "If it
were not for her." he wrote, II should
almost hang myself in this Internal
hole"
Mrs. Montroy left for England and
with Mrs. Nisbet, the young widow of
physician. Her manners were mild
and winning, completely capturing
Nelson. They were married March IL,
1887. For many years they were hap
py. Each retained to death their love
for the other, although the notorious
Lady Hamilton did exert an undue in
fiuence over him and caused Nelson's
wife, who was not OF strong character,
to become passionately jealous and
eventually to leave him, although she
cherished his memory to the last and
to her grandchildren told in loving
terms of her sailor husband. Nelson,
too, was ever devoted, though apart
from her. Shortly after the battle of
the Nile, when friend said to him
that no doubt he considered the day
of that victory as the happiest of his
life, he answered.: 'No; the happiest
day was that on which married Lady
Nelson."--Chicago Evening News.

GET DOWN TO CAUSES.
An Akron Citizen Relates An Inter-
esting Exerience About Cause
and Effect.

An Irish student attempted to re-
futo u professors lecture on Cause
and Effect. He objected to the axi-
omatic principle that cause is always
first and effect n consequence, and
he illustrated his theory by citing
ono OF his countrymen pushing u
wheelbarrow. Whatever reasoning
may be necessary to establish tho
Irishman's contention, one thing is
certain, cause always goes first In
