Sirens Of the Packing Houses.

The big packing houses out West
employ dccoy animals to lead their
brethren to the slaughter. These
animals are called Sirens by the
packing house men, and they are
valuable adjuncts to the business.
All packing houses are compelled TO
have them. A steer is trained to lead
the animals ou, Of the pens through
the long overhead bridges into the
packing house and down into the
killing room. Such steer is called
Judas Iscariot' usually. Some of
them have become famous for their
intelligence. But there generally
comes time when they grow unruly
or careless, or their powers fail, end
they themselves are led to the slaugh-
ter.
In one Of the packing houses in
Kansas City in which a great many
sheep are slaughtered goat is en-
ployed to entice sheep from the stock
yards where they are brought to the
killing. pens in the house, long dis
tancc from the yards to the house,
through streets, over a river and a
railroad yard by bridge and through
lanes. Without an animal to lead
them it would be impossible to get a
large flock Of sheep home safely and
expcditiously.
The goats name is Willie, and he is
the cleyerest beast Of his kind. He
cost less than SO, but does the work
that So, 900 year clerk could not do
half SO we'll, if at all. The sheep
follow Willie with implicit confidence,
and he leads hundreds Of them to their
doom every day. When the sheep
buyer goes about the stock yards buy
ing the animals Willie follows him.
The yards are divided into pens by
fences. On top Of each fence is a
footboard, along which the buyer
walks inspecting the animals that he
desires to buy. Willie walks the
fences with the buyer and climbs up
and down the steps with ease.
When the sheep are all bought q
boy opens the gate and leads the way.
Willie follows the boy; the sheep fol-
low Willie. The sheep could not be
induced to follow the boy unless Will
lie was there.
Occasionally Willie gets tired Of
being good, aud when he is naughty
he is very like ''the little girl who had
little CURL" and then he is horrid,
and that is bad for the sheep business.
When this occurs Willie is not coaxed
or pampered in the least. His master
simply takes big hickory club and
maltreats him, and in few minutes
one would think Willie had the dis
position of an angei.-Ss. Louis Re

Bit OF Negro Philosophy.

A serious application Of the refrain
in the song, "If you amt got no
money you needn't come round" was
pointed out the other night by Booker
T. Washington in his lecture in the
Gray's armory in aid Of the endow-
ment fund Of the Tuskegee Industrial
school, of which he has been the head
for nearly 20 year. One phase of his
address was devoted to impressing the
Negro with that commercial side Of
ethics which parallels respectability
with property. After citing instance
after instance Of individual success on
the part of colored people, he told a
humorous story Of a member Of the
"po'h white trash" who endeavored
to cross stream by means of ferry
owned by black man.
"Uncle Mosc," said the white man, ,
II want to cross. But hain't got no
money"
Uncle Nose scratched his head,
'Doan you got no money t ALP" he
queried.
"No," said the wayfaring stranger.

Bitten by g Copperhead.

YoRKv1LLE, June 1.-Mrs. William
Youngblood, who lives at Fodder,
seven miles northeast Of Yorkville,
was bitten by copperhead, or upland
moccss;H, yesterday afternoon. She
went to the 6eld 20 carry some water
to her husband and on the way stop
ped to pick strawberries. just as she
stopped the snake struck, fastening
its fangs in the middle finger Of her
right hand. She was greatly frighten-
ed and. hurrying to the house, took
some whiskey and used other familiar
remedies. A physician was sent for,
but when he arrived Mrs. Youngblood
was resting comfortably enough.
There was no sign Of Inflammation or
other discomfort. Considering the
fact that the deadliness Of the copper
head is second only to thst Of the
rattlesnake, this result was quite sur
prising. The snake was. about *wo
and half feet in length. Mr.. Young
blood succeeded in killing j. .fter ac-
companyi1g his wife to the house.

GERMANS CLAIM ]
 DAMAGE IN CUBA An Important Issue Raised by
 the Action GROWING OUT OF LATE WAR Were Presented to the State Depart ment by Embassy, and Answer
 Will be Based on Position
 Recently Taken by Alien.
GROWING OUT OF LATE WAR

Washington, December 24.-The German embassy has laid before the State Depart ment the claims of number of German subjects for damages to their interests in Cuba as a result of the SpanishAmerican war, and the insurrection which led up to the war itself. This action of the German government has raised a most important issue, and the Department of State has given it the closest consideration It has been concluded, however, that the United States government cannot accept responsi- bility for the claims. They are regarded as practically the same as in the claim of Porto Rico against Cuba for $2,500,000 on account of the war loan. Although on that case Governor Allen of Porto Rico repre- sented the United States government in preferring the claim that government was obliged to deny it's liability, or the liability of Cuba under present conditions.
 The answer to the German presentation will be based upon the reply of Governor Allen recently made. It is known that other governments besides Germany have claims aggregating a very large sum, all based on the Cuban instruction and succeeding events. They will not be abandoned on &C., count of the United States governments $ attitude, but on the contrary will probably be held in abeyance until such time as Cuba shall have become independent, when they may be presented directly to the govern ment of the island.

SAY THAT IT IS UP

 Statement.
 
FAULT IS WITH THE POLICE

I New York, December 24.-The Tammany committee of five, at meeting held today, issued a statement that Chief of Police Devery could rid the city of vice in two hours if he so chose. They further say that they will present facts to the grand jury in the event of no immediate being taken by the police. Several members of the police department appeared before the committee and said that placs mentioned in the list given to Chief Devery by Chair man Nixon were closed. The majority of the places were gambling dens and disor- derly houses.
 After an executive session of two hours Chairman Nixon gave out the following statement:
 ''The list of suspicious places handed to the police is by no means complete, and we shall be guided by developments as to whom and how they shall be made public My object is to close such places, and by closing them demonstrate to their owners that those who have taken money from them for protection lack the power to pro- tect. No matter what party is in office, about the same sort of men will be found farming out immunity.
 ''Every department of the city govern ment except the police department is do- ing good work.
 q am satisfied by what I have found that the chief of police could close every gam bling house and poolroom in the city in 0 few hours. Our motive now Is to show that these places are not protected by the Tammany organization, and further than that to show a system which has existed during this and the preceding administra- ton can be stopped if the police depart- ment can be induced to act. A single headed commission with power to act can remedy existing abuses, not only for a time, but permanently"
