HORSE MEAT IN GERMANY.
Reasons Why Its Consumption Has
Largely Increased.

From the New York Sun.
An increased consumption of horse
meat is reported in German cities as
a result Of the scarcity of beef ana
mutton There still exists in the small
Ter cities of the empire prejudice
against horse meat, and the consump-
tiun is not as great in proportion as
in the larger places, but it is steadily
growing.
The consumers of horse meat in Ger.
many are exclusively the poorer class
sos but they comprise nine-tenths of
the population and there is therefore
a wide field for this food Most Ger
man earn from 60 cents to 81 a day,
and are wholly unable to supply their
families with the same quality of meat
that the American workman consumes.
Beef is from II to 80 cents pound.
and mutton and other meats are cor
respondingly high. Until recently plen-
ty of horse meat has been prOCurable
at : cents pound, and it is still sold
for about half the price of other meats.
The German workingman must keer
up his bodily strength, even If his food
is of a coarser nature, and this is the
reason why cheap horse meat, nutri-
tive as it is. has gradually gained
ground in spite of the prejudice against
it, until the consumption in the larger
cities is almost as great as that of beef
or mutton.

CITY OF CAToRCE.
One of the Roughest and Most Pic.
turesque Places in Mexico.

From Modern Mexico.
Eight miles due east, over the noun
tains from Catorce station, on the
Mexican National railroad. is the city
OF that name, a city along whose steep
winding streets neither wagon nor cart
neither stage nor bus, nor any other
wheeled vehicle was ever known to
pass, although it has often boosted OF
a population of 10000 souls. The city
takes its name from once being the
stronghold and the property of a band
Of fourteen of the most daring, deS-
perate, dangerous and successful rob-
berS that ever laid tribute on roads Of
Mexico. They discovered, and for many
years worked, the rich deposits of sill
Yer that abound in this entire section
of the country-deDosits, the value Of
which, If current report be true, for
hundreds of years outrivaled the myth
ical riches related of Ophir Strange 70
relate, every piece OF machinery, every
pound Of freight, and every passenger
TO and from Catorce, Is transported to-
dag. as for centuries past, either on the
backs of men or mules. Catorce is one
of the most interesting places in Mex
leo. Here are found the customs of
Mexico in their purity, unaffected by
the influence Of the stranger. Difficult
of access, the town can only be reached
| by horseback or on foot. CatOrCe has
seldom been visited by any except those
making business trips. The ride up the
mountains into the town is something,
once accomplished, always TO be re-
membered, partly from its element of
personal peril but more because of the
! beauty Of the landscape encountered at
every turn. Glancing down, as you
near your journeys end, you catch q
gleam of the white walls of Los Ca
torce outlined against the green Of the
mountain side. Thousands Of feet be-
| low simmer the waters Of a noun
| tain stream. The shifting coloring of
| the mountains, as light and shade chase
| each other over their rugged eNpanse,
| the browns and green's of the valley
! below, and the hills in the hazy dis
| tancc are beautiful exceedingly" The
| eRal de CatOrCe Is built on the side OF
"A ravine near the top of the range, and
! has Il varying population of from 5000
| to 10000, as the mines are paying we'll
| or poorly. Here are found all varieties
| Of silver ore from carbOnates to re-
| fractory ore, assaying $4,000 to the ton
| Catorce has fine cathedral, richly
| decorated, and a pretty plaza, the only
| level spot in the place. To use a rail-
! road phrase, it is a combination of cut
| and fill, so that to tumble into it on
one side and out onthe other would be
! extremely disastrous. The streets are
neatly paved, and run up and down
| hill, many of them at an angle Of A,
| degrees.

URGENT NEED OF a SEWER.

That the Seventeenth main district
sewer is a necessity is apparent, for the
heavy thaw Of the past few days has
caused great damage to the cellars
and ground floors of the buildings on
Pittson avenue, especially those situat-
ed between Alder and Willow streets.
incidentally it might be said that a
similar state of affairs follows every
heavy rain on thaw and the residents
are made victims of a small flood, their
cellars being covered with water rang
ing in depth from eight inches to sew
eral feet. Yesterday there was a large
influx OF water in these old time re-
ceptacles. The cellar beneath the
Scheuer bakery on Pittston avenue con-
tanned five feet of water by actual
measurement
Jacob Demuth, the hotelman. has
over three feet of water in his cellar

LIFE OF WASHINGTON.

The members of Camp 17S, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, were treated
to q well prepared address on the Life
of Washington at the meeting last
evening in their headquarters, corner
Of Main and Jackson streets. by Past
President j. Archie Jones. The speak
cr referred to the early career of
Washington and spoke about the per-
iod when the American colonies re-
volted, touching upon his military ca
reer and the service he rendered his
country. The brief sketch Mr.. Jones
gave was not historical, but more
eulOgistic of Washington. He spoke Of
the feeling of awe and veneration that
the great general created, and also re-
ferred to his famous battle with the
elements in crossing the Delaware.
The terrible march of the barefoot
army was mentioned, and also the dark
days at Monmouth. He said the heart
of Washington beat with joy when
his deeds We're accomplished, and eX-
pressed the belief that Washington
was the peer of any man in any way.
The talk was thoroughly patriotic. The
members of the camp enjoyed the ad-
dress and are treated to talks from
different members every few weeks.

Agnes, the four-months- child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Toole. of Cedar
avenue, near the city line, was the VIC
tim yesterday of a deplorable accident.
The three year-old brother of the baby
poured into her eyes two ounces OF
iodine. which will in all probability
blind the little one. Mrs. Toole had
the drug to paint a bruise on one of
the other children's body, and, after
finishing, laid the bottle on table.
Leaving the baby in the cradle. Mrs.
Toole went to another room. While
engaged there, her son took the iodine
and in An innocent, childish way went
over to the cradle and spilled the con-
tents on his baby sister. The major
portion went in her eyes.
DR.. John j. Walsh was hurriedly
called TO attend the child. He is doing
his utmost to save the sight of the
baby, but entertains slight hopes of ac-
compishing his efforts. The torture
the little one suffers is beyond descrip-
ton.
