AN ENGLISH VIEW OF BEEFTRusT

High prices for beef have attracted at
fcntion not only from the newspapers,
who are looking for topics. and the con-
sll1ners who are looking for food in Ameri-
ca, hut also from the papers abroad.
Commercial Intelligence. leading Eng
fish paper on manufacturing and export
business. says that a sensational rumor
has been current during the past few
days to the effect that an enormous trust
in Chicago has secured control of the
meat supplies in The United States. This
idea is ridiculed in the British meat mar
kets. as none of the great firms at Smith
field have been advised by their American
correspondents of any movement to cor
ner the market, and they therefore re-
gard the rumors as silly Inventions.
It Is true. says the English advices of
Commercial Intelligence, that American
meat has COMO UP over two cents pound
4n this month, but the increase is easily
explainable and is entirely due to natural
causes. There is in the first place a great
shortage of cattle in America and conse-
s Qnently tho price Of cattle for export has
lars per head. The result Of this has
been to largely help the colonial produce
< ers. who are doing a very good business
under the present conditions. It is point
ed out says Commercial Intelligence that
even il an Aemrican trust had been
formed 1t could not possibly have main
tanned high prices Tor a lengthy period
as the sources Of supply are TOO numerous.
AS 1t is Danish cattle are being imported
in large quantity to supply the British
market, and the British farmers are al
SO rcaping some advantage
9 In 1901 the United States sent Great
Britain 4os.s4s cattle. as against 90,27s
from other countries. OF course the in
creased price will tend to make Great
4 Britain go elsewhere for her supplies, with
{ the consequent effect OF leaving us more
cattle for our homo market The truth Of
the situation seems to be that the short
corn crop has produced q short supply
& of cattle, and that On the other hand
more people are able and willing to eat
beef than ever before, with the coase-
auence that there is less to so around.
The most rational method of meeting
this condition Is that which has been
adopted by the butchers of indianapolis.

ELBA OR MAIN-STREET STATIONS
The Dispatci, takes the OCCASION Of the
unfortunate death OF AIRS. Umlauf, who
was killed by an accident on the Fred
esicksburg Railroad connection track, to
open afresh an agitation for the removal
OF the tracks Of that railroad from Bel
1idcrc Street and TO propose that the
Fredericksburg Railroad use the seaboard
AIR Line tracks into the Main-Street
Station.
The Dispatch, In spite Of its alleged
proprietary connection with the Seaboard
AIR Line Railroad interests, is no doubt
perfectly sincere in its proposition. But
1herc is another side OF the case which
re arc constrained to present in behalf
OF the public and with no regard to the
interest OF any railroad whatever. There
& Is hardly city In the United states
through some OF whose frequented streets
railroad passenger trains do not pass.
There is no city, We venture to say,
Erhere they pass with less annoyance and
with more convenience to the public than
over the Belvidere-Sreet connection be-
tween Elba and Byrd-Street stations;
That most extraordinary care is used
d attcsted by the fact that this is the
only accident that We recall, although a
dozen or more trains day PASS up and
down that track.
Elba station is naturally growing in Inn
.oortance as point of convenient ac-l
cess to the most frequented trains leav-s
ing Richmond. Many thousands of pco-
pie would be greatly Inconvenience by
the change Of that station to Sixteenth
and Main. and the travelling public, we
are sure, would protest against any ruth
less or mercenary interference with their
convenience.
The line that is to be substituted for
This most satisfactory arrangement. is
the Seaboard Air Limo track down Ba-
con Quarter Branch, meandering along
a. loathsome open sewer for nearly three
miles. and on its way making by all
odds the most dangerous crossings any
where around Richmond and hardly
surpassed in peril by any places i'll the
country. It was by most extra ordinary
capped with his life on Brook Avenue the
other day from one of these trains. AS
1t was, his wagon was smashed to pieces
and his hcrse killed.
The Brook-Avenue crossing and those
at Second Street and at Seventh Street,
especially the last. on this Seaboard line
have extraordinary features OF peril
Moreover, the trains on this Bacon Quar-
ter Branch track go at approximately
full speed, while on the Belvidere-Street
track they go, perhaps not as fast as
the street car; in fact, these Belvidere-
Street trains are even less dangerous
to botl, foot passengers and drivers than
the electric cars.
we do not believe for an instant that
public safety or convenience will 'bc
improved by any such change. but on
the contrary, will be harmed in both
respects, and we cannot see what the de-
mand is for this change by tiny one who
his examined the subject and is i'm
partial in the matter.

Coronation means good deal to the
flower market of England when we con-
slider that about every fourth person in
Great Britain and ireland will wear a
rose on every one of the days in Corona
ton week. It is estimated that this will
take sixty million roses. and SO the for
lists are already getting supplies on hand
for this event. A great part Of this enor-
nous quantity OF flowers will have to be
imported in order that the loyal Briton
may wear the national emblem during
that week.
The rose OF old England, however. is
not the cultivated rose, and it goes with
out saying that the American Beauty or
la France would hardly be the proper
emblem for an English coronation. AS
matter Of fact, tho national flower is
the wild dog rose that grows along the
hedges Of England and is well known
here in America But like all wild flow
ers it cannot stand the stress and strain
OF modern life, and so the florists have
had to come to the rescue.

THE NEW MIGRANTS.

In another column we print striking
letter from a correspondent on the new
hydrants that arc being put in Richmond
for protection against fire. We cannot
speak Of our own knowledge of the meth
cd that is being used for placing these
MIGRANTS, but if our correspondents state
ments are correct, as we have every rea-
son to believe they are, the matter of
the location of the hydrants should re-
ceive immediate attention from the proper
authorities. AS we understand it, the
plug is placed at an angle to the street
SO that the fire engines will have to draw
up diagonally in order to make straight
connection.
The whole question of water arrange
ments for Richmond for the fighting of
fire cannot receive too careful inspec-
ton. The size of the mains and the char
acter of the connections with the water
plugs involve the safety of the city and
no amount Of explanation after a fire
can help the loss that will be suffered
if any oversight is allowed to leave US
in an unsafe position.

that if the servant is conscientious she
should decide herself as to the dis
posal of her time. Several believe the
servants should have a two weeks va
cation with pay. OF those reporting
who give. their servants vacations 80
per cent do not pay wages during va
cation and 20 per cent pay full wages.
The general sentiment as to the rem
edy is that the domestics should have
room of their own, and should be
free TO invite their friends to the
house.. and to entertain them in the
parlor,1 that the children of the home
should be taught to respect them and
that domestic service ought to be made
honorable in public opinion. One wom-
an says: More should not be eX-
pected of the servant than the mis-
tress."
AS to wages, the general opinion is
that 81 a week is fair compensation
for a domestic if her surroundings are
pleasant as they should be, and the
place is really a home for her.

Third street, was severely burned about
explosion which yesterday afternoon oc-
while some bed springs were being
Cleaned The girl and her mother had
pitcher of gasoline a short distance from
the springs, upon which some of the
liquid was burning The gasoline in the
pitcher exploded and set fire to the girls
dress. The mother was so frightened that
she was unable to do anything to put out
the flames and the girl would undoubtedly
have been burned to death but for the
arrival Of Tom Tierney, a mail carrier
Tierney was coming down the stairs
when he heard the girl shfiek. He
started back upstairs and met her as she
ran blazing into the hallway, Tierney
quickly wrapped his coat about the
flames and tore the burning portions of
the dress from her body. Tierney's hands
were badly burned
In spite of her terrible injuries, Marjorie
smiled and assured her mother that she
was all right. A doctor was sent for, and,
after making a haSty examination, he
ordered the girl sent to the city hospital,
saying that she could not live. On the
way to the hospital in the patrol wagon
the little girl thanked the officers, and
not once did she allow a moan to escape.
For a time at the hospital the physicians
did not think there was any possibility
of her living, but she kept her courage so
well that last night it was said she would
recover.
