MEAT FAMINE
THREATENS
GERMANS
STEAK COSTS F0RTY-F0UR
CENTS A POUND IN BERLIN
AND PRICES ARE STEADILY
CLIMBING.

BERLIN, Aug. 9O.-The price Of meat in
Germany continues to rise and the town
councils and other bodies and the newspa-
pers in every part of the empire are dis
cussing what is called the meat famine"
The Butchers Guilds advanced the price
Of meat this week from 2 1-2 to cents per
pound. A good steak costs "A cents a
pound in Berlin. Markets generally are
reported statistically 20 per cent higher
here now than in 1900. although in Rot
terdam, Paris, Vienna and Budapest they
are only 10 TO 16 per cent higher
Germany's more rapid advance is at
tributed to the scarcity of home animals
the exclusion of foreign live stock and
the prohibition of canned meats, thus sus-
pending the large American imports.
Hamburg figures show that the imports
of American salt and smoked meats in
1901 were only 128.S0O metric hundred
weights, against 3O5,3O in 1898. Sausages
have shrunk in the same time from $4,000
to $50 metric hundred weights and Amer
lean canned meats from $1,000 to 10000 me-
trio hundred weights.
Berlin slaughtered in July $40 fewer
animals than in July 1901, in spite of the
increasing population and the slaughter
ings were further diminished in August.
The official authorities of the Kingdom of
Saxony report a five per cent decrease in
the slaughterings since 1901 and great
lack of animals suitable for butchering.
A number of important municipalities
have petitioned the government to open
the frontiers to live stock. The Prussian
minister Of agriculture, Herr Won Pod
bielski. replying to a deputation of the
Posen council meeting making such a
request said it was impossible to with
draw the exclusion decree, averring that
the exclusion of animals had immensely
improved the veterinary condition of Ger

JAMES CRAIG, TIRED OF LIFE,
HANGS HIMSELF AT HOME

James Craig hanged himself Friday
afternoon al his home, 10 Pryor street.
where he had lived for years. His body
was found shortly before O'Clock In his
room. where the deed had been planned
and executed. Apparently he had been
dead for some time.
Bergus Gather. a negro cook, entered
the room and found the body hanging at
the door. The suicide had tied a knot In
one end of a rope and closed the door on
Il so that 1t was firmly held. He then
mounted a chair. adjusted the rope about
his neck and threw himself forward. He
died from strangulation. His feet stu
rested lightly on the chair when the body
was found.
The life story of James Craig is one OF
toll. For years he labored in Atlanta,
saved what money he could and reared
his family. He bought his home at the
corner of Trinity avenue and Pryor IN
the early days, when property was not
valuable. It increased I'm value and 1t
looked like he in his old age would be
in plentiful circumstances. Misfortunes
then attacked him. He mortgaged AS
home. Recently he lost his wife. Since
then the old man had not been the same.
The home was advertised for sale by
the county administrator to satisfy the
MORTGAGES and only a few weeks ago he
applied for admission TO the county aims
house. which was granted. He went to
that institution. but did not remain. His
son. Walter Craig, who is employed at
DeGive's theatres. took him away. He
had been caring for his father and his
action in going to the alms-house was
taken by those who knew all the cir
cumstances as evidence of an unbalanced
mind Walter Craig had done everything
possible for his father.
His misfortunes had evidently prayed
,tuow his mind until he took his lie
There was no one I'm the house at the
time of the suicide except Hugh Craig,
his son. The young man is I'll with con-
sumption. He was upstairs and knew
nothing OF it until the body was found
by the negro.
