THE TRUSTS METHODS.
St Louis Meat Dealers Testify as TO
Prices and Rebates.

Jefferson City, Mo, May s.-The
existence in st. Louis of uniform and
fixed meat prices and the secret re-
bate in addition to the c. o. d. list
was shown by testimony taken at
yesterdays session of the beef trust
inquiry.
Maurice Prendiville, a st. Louis
dealer, was the first witness exam
ined. Prendiville testified that Ar
mour, Swift, Nelson Morris and Cuda-
by had fixed agreement regarding
prices. The packers buy cattle on
successive days" said he, $50 that
each can buy at his own price. There
is very little independent buying in
the stock yards. The big packers
keep others out by telling the cat
tlemen that if they sell any cattle
to the independent buyers, they must
sell all to them.
The ordinary retail butches can
not get high class beef. The best
beef is sold to butchers at II cents
on the carcasses."
Did you ever get a rebate?" was
asked of Prendiville.
-Four or five months ago / got re-
bates on pork from Nelson Morris.
At one time the cooler managers told
me that they had an agreement not
to sell at less than Sc per hundred.
They would evade the agreement by
selling some cents lower
lis there an arbitrator ir st.
Louise" asked Attorney General
Grow.
The cooler managers meet every
Wednesday afternoon and form a
c. O. ID. list. and on Saturday an
other meeting is held. l do not know
who fixes the prices for them, but
they are fixed the last of each week
for the week following. When man
does not sell his cattle in East st.
Louis, and ships them elsewhere, the
packers send a dispatch ahead of
him, instructing the buyers to offer
only so much
William Tamme, of st. Louis, for
merly city salesman for Swift, testi
fed to uniform price at which
statesmen of all companies were in
structed to sell. Attorney Ernst c.
Dodge has charge of the c. O. ID. list,
which is made up every week, the
witness declared Tammc said that
the increased price of meat was out
of proportion to the increase in the
price of cattle. He said 100 butchers
in st. Louis had gone out of busi-
ness.
At the afternoon session several
of the witnesses told of the sale of
condemned meats, some of which was
made into sausage.
T. L. Wertz was the last witness.
He was formerly manager of
branch house at Topeka, Kan. He
told of the existence Of combine be-
tween the various packing com
panies to fix the price of meats: and
related the incident by which he lost
his position. because he sold lard
at half a cent less per pound than
the combine price

Downing street, London, perpetuates
the name of a clever man from Massa-

the Fourth of July had any significance
In American annals, and George Down-
ing. the first scholar in the first public
school In Massachusetts and the first
graduate sent out by Harvard college,
came to England and became chap
lain in Cromwells army.
BY q remarkable stroke OF fortune
he was sent to represent England at
The Hague when Europe was trem-
bling before Oliver, and during three
distinct eras in England's history lie
held the office of British ambassador
at the Dutch court. He was as popu-
lar or as clever under the Merry Mon
nrch as under the protector and the
commonwealth, and it came to pass, IN
tie reign of Charles H., that the man
from Massachusetts was granted a
great tract of land at Westminster,
where he built huge mansions and laid
out Downing street.
TO this day Downing's street Is
Downing street still, and, though
George Downing is forgotten, there Is
no name in the British empire which

CHESTS Pass with Glaciers.

Hotel keepers I'm the Alps have new
trouble and are complaining of the loss
of patrons, who are moving away from
the glaciers. Yes, the attractive GA
clers are actually passing from the
landscape, and as they recede the no.
tells along their borders find that their
registers are shortening.
These glaciers are not running away
by any means, but they are deteriorat-
ing slowly with persistency that
means their final annihilation. Hotels
that few years ago stood very near
to great river of slowly moving Ice
now find themselves a considerable dis
lance away, and the attractiyeness OF
the site is lessened.
The famous glaciers Of the -Rhone
have sbrunk 5000 feet in the last twen-
ty years, or about 10 feet year. A
number Of the well known glaciers APP
proxlmate this diminutiOn, and the sci
entilic fact is established that these re-
minders Of the great glacial period are
surely disappearing.

An ancient statute ascribed TO lloWel
the Good, Welch prince, who ruled In
048, regulated the price of cats. n
penny was the price of kitten before
its eyes were open, twopenee until it
had caught its first mouse, fourpence
when it was old enough for combat.
He who stole q cat from the royal
granarles forfeited either milk eve,
with its fleece and lamb, or as much
wheat as would cover the body Of the
cat suspended by its tail. with its nose
touching the ground. A penny was a
coin of great purchasing power In the
tenth century.
