The Beef Packers agreement"

George Buchanan Fife, writing on 1.-THE
So-called Beef Trust" in the November
Century, says:
The government possessed of countless
dispositions, affidavits and exhibits" is
convinced that beef trust is in existence
and is determined to destroy it. What
ever it may succeed in proving, how many
of the allegations embraced in its long pc
ttion IL may establish as facts, there Is
no doubt that a working agreement has
long existed among the large packing cor
porations. This, stated upon the authority
of one intimately associated with the bust
ness of a packing house of international
prominence, is in effect, that they will not.

ket than it reasonably requires.
Further than that" he continued, there
is no bond between any two houses as TO
output. 1t Is not an illegal bond, nor Is IL
intended to effect a restriction of trade to
the detriment Of the people; 1T is for nat
ural and necessary self-protection. For
instance. one OF the packing houses calls
us up by telephone and asks, Are you

PORTO RICAN MISSIONS.


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Right Rev.
Jas. II. Hanburn, bishop of Porto Rico. at
st. Bartholomew Episcopal Church to-
day, told, in an informal way, of his work
on the island, to which he was sent as a
missionary in February 1901. In June he
was ordained a bishop. He said in part:
"At Ponce We have church. For many
years it was the only Protestant church in
any of the Spanish possessions. In 1898 the
American troops came to the city, and
among them were several loyal sons of the
brotherhood of St. Andrew. They went i'm,
swept the church and garnished 1T, rang
the bell and held the first service which

black man, but he is well educated and
has great influence with his people. For
the last three years this good has
been totally blind. He has spent his whole
life there and he asked that another man
be sent and that he receive $500 year so
that he may remain and be of what as
sistance he can. In San Juan we are now
erecting a church which will cost SIS, 600.
L have $4,000 toward it and 1 want the
other 5000"
The bishop dwelt at some length on the
temptations which surround young men
who have gone TO Porto Rico from the
United States. He said that to do any
effective work among them he must have
parish houses in the larger towns To do
what he has planned already he must have
$4,000 and he begged that it be given with
out delay.

PEACE MAY BE RESULT
MIR. WATKINS In CONFERENCE WITH
MINOR BALL LEAGUE OWNERS.
Scheme for Adjusting the Trouble Be-
tween the Western League and
Western Association.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-The main object of
the members of the national board of the
National Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues in remaining in New York aft
er the annual meeting of the association had
beep adjourned became apparent to-day
when number of conferences were held
between the members of the board and the
principal hackers of the Western League
and the American Association. 1t is with
the hope of patching up the difficulties ex-
listing between the two organizations that
the members stayed here. 1t was said to-
night that the efforts at bringing about a
settlement of the war would undoubtedly
be successful.
Presidents Brice, of Columbus, and Wat
kins, of indianapolis, of the American AS
ISOLATION, were in conference with members
of the board at the Hotel Victoria nearly
all day. In the evening they were Joined
by President T. w. Van Brunt, OF the st.
Joseph club, of the Western League. Mr.
Van Brunt is the moneyed man of this
league, and has advanced the largest part
of the finances for the carrying out of the
war that has proven so disastrous to both
the Western League and the American
Association during the past season.
The scheme for the adjustment of the
difficulties as mapped out tonight calls for
the withdrawal of the Western League
clubs in both Kansas City and Milwaukee
and the turning over of these two cities
to the American Association. At the same
time the promoters of the Western League
teams in these two cities are TO be taken
care of to the extent that they may be
given an interest in the American teams,
or they may be rewarded financially out
right. With the withdrawal of the West
ern League clubs from both these cities
he harmonious
adjustment of all difficulties and the Ameri-
can Association would then apply for and
receive protection under the national agree
ment of the National Association, coming
in as a class "A" organization on a par
with the Eastern League The Western
League could take in two smaller cities or
stand with a six-club circuit and come in as
class b or class G organization under
the national agreement.

NATURES B0TCH WORK.
Eminent Scientist shows That Man In =
Badly Designed. 4

Detroit Free Press.
Just now, when most Of mankind is ready
to believe that perfection has been reached
in physical humanity, along comes a Bel
gian professor to take the conceit out OF
US and prove that even a self-made man
has a score of flaws in his makeup We
are, to begin with, provided with eight
surplus teeth. If we had eight less we
could chew our beeksteak and gum just as
well. and the chances of toothache would
be largely reduced. Then there are four
fingers where but three are required to
count our cash. button our collars CT use
the bucksaw and AK II is the same with
the toes. The third one could have been
left OFF the foot without the slightest detri-
ment tC man or woman, and the saving
in corn cures would have been a pretty
penny by this date.
Nature made whiskers to grow on the
faces of al Least three-fourths of the male
population of the world. The Belgian pro-
fessor defies any one OF US TO show where
whis ders beautify or benefit, while he can
name no less than a dozen evils rising from
two. He proves this by counting the hoops
on barrel. AS rule all human noses are
made on too large a scale. and the conse-
quence is that cold in the head takes hold
or person with extra severity.
The ear of a whale, the professor says,
is relatively only half the size Of that OF a
man, while his bulk ie more than a hun
dred times greater 1t was suspected that
most men had too much cheek, but now we
know that all men have too much ear.
As the monkey has use for a fore
head, why should IL have been given to
man? Had the extra space been added TO
his neck every man could have worn a
collar a foot high without saving his chin.
Ii is further asserted by the professor
that nineteen out OF twenty people squint,
and that ninety-nine out of every hundred
have off-colored eyes. One eye In the CEN
ter of the forehead would have answered
all demands and been a decided blue or
black. The professor has taken the statues
OF Venus, Apollo, Hercules and other IA
nous models and with two-foot rule and
bit of chalk has figured out that each
has score of imperfections. We are none
OF US all right-not even the professor him
self-and we can't expect to be for at least
500 years to come. BY that time Dame Ma
ture will have served her apprenticeship
and man will be created on scientific lines
and with due reference to art and con-
VeQience.

Many Soldiers Dying.

KINGSTON, Jamaica. Oct. 26-The Ger
man steamer Hercynia reached here to-day
from Colon, Colombia. Her officers report
that considerable fighting is going on in the
interior of that country, the revolutionists
taking advantage of the withdrawal of
government troops for service on the
isthmus. At Savanilla the government SOL
diers are dying at an alarming rate from
fever and privations. While the Hercynia
was moored at Savanilla there were on the
pier the bodies of several soldiers who had
died there and the remains had not been
removed. Disease is rife on that side of
the coast. The ships officers had to check
their own cargo at Savanilla and do other
work for themselves, to perform which
Colombians are generally employed, il be-
ing imposhsible to get local help. The
situation on the isthmus remains the same.
