clothing was being made in violation of

The clothing. The Philadelphia Board o
Health now reports to The deputies every
morning all places where there are con a.
gious or infectious diseases. and an iuves-
tigation is at once made to see whether
there are any clothing makers in The

II has been found that the clothing
makers who eszspiy with the Law have
LeeE OF the greatest assi, cnce 10 the de-
parJment in carrying out The law wber-

The difficulties that arise In the enforce

for sanitary cleanliness, and have no re
spect for the Law.
Week before last two cases were found
where a large amount OF mems cla-t:aIug and

scarlet fever and d.phtheria prevailed
The work was being done by two persons.

A COMBINE IN COPPER.

Join Interests February I.

Join Interests February I.
NEW 9EDFOI d. Mass, Jan. 2s.-Plans
are being made by three Of the largest
copper manufacturing companies in Mass
achusetts for a consolidation under ono
management. The three companies inter
ested are the New Bedford Copper Com
pany, the Taunton Copper Company. and
the Revere Copper Company. Although
the final steps for making the combination
have not yet been taken. all the essentials
have been agreed upon. and the new order
of affairs will 80 into effect with the first
OF next month.
The three companies have long been
competitors in the markets and being
rather small concerts, have suffered some
what from tAe competition o. larger con-
Germs. The consolidation is sufficiently as
sured to permit Of the announcement that
after February 1, the management will be
virtually in the hands Of the new corpora
tiou. The New Bedford Company is now
capitalized at $3.50 900, the Taunton. at
$3.50 0O0 and the Revere at $500 900 a to-
tai OF $500 coo. The new company. how
ever. will have a capital Of only $500 600.
1t is learned from trustworthy sources
that the proposed management will in
clude Henry NJ. Lowering. of Taunton. as
president; Clarence A. Cook OF New Bed
ford. vice president and agent Henry F.
Bassett. Of Tsunton, treasurer. The main
offices will probably be in Taunton.

CATS FOR PRovENDER.
a TrREeIcr Says That the Chinese Do
Eat Them.

Fror the Philadelphia Irquirer)
Yes. they do. 4 traveller who has lust
returned from China says that all those
stories which were in the geography and
which We seldom believe are true China
men. however. do not just pick up any old
cat out OF the street and have him stewed
for dinner. Oh. dear. no; it is only the
wealthy Chinaman who can afford the lux
ury of cat or dog for his table The
animals which are used for food have to
be Of an especial breed. Cats Of brindle
or yellOwish cOlCr are preferred to all 9TH
ers. Then they must be kept in coops and
fed on only certain kinds Of food before
they are considered good to eat.
Now when you consider that the China
men Of the working class sel'am nave
room enough in their crowded dwellings,
for themselves and their persv,., belong
ings-that Is their wives AMI children
the matter of keeping a cat cooped is out
OF the question, to say nothing Of the ex-
pense Of getting the especially prepared
food for its inmates. The Chinaman OF
the working class counts himself especially
blessed if he has single little closet like
room for himself and family-the most am
bilious even never aspires TO a front or
back yard. He seldom gets paid over 10
or 10 cents day so II takes nearly all of

Now, from the point of view OF the Chi

brought up in coop and fed on especially
prepared food makes a much daintier dish
than a chicken. fol instance. which has
been turned loose in the yard and allowed
