Tactics of the Beef Trust.

The farmer has received but a very
to the wholesale meat dealers in the
price-elevating coup that has been re-
Gently achieved. Large quantities OF
live stock were purchased by the trust
at normal prices, slaughtered and put
in storage for future sale or kept ION
the hoof" to be slaughtered upon de-
mand The little advantages that
here and there accrue to those with
stock to sell are overwhelmingly out
weighed by the exacting tribute
which the non-farming element is
compelled to pay to the engineers of
the trusts campaign. A few stray
crumbs may drop from the banquet
table that the beef trust has GOT for
the delectation of it's con 80 rue4t
firms and go to the sturdy a5..lcultur- q
ist and rancher-that is all.
Dispatches from a number of cities
confirm the suspicious that have been
expressed to the effect that one of the
aims of the associated meat packers
is to find sale for large quantity of
canned meats, which have proven a
drug on the market, by creating diff
ference in price between the fresh
meat and the canned article so mark,
ed that it will tempt the meat eaters
of the country to resort to the pur-
chase of the canned goods. This
would be perfectly legitimate were
the prices that attach to the fresh
meats the result Of natural condi-
tions of trade, but inasmuch as it is
generally believed that retail dealers
in meat are hedged with illegal re
straints. inasmuch as the trust is said
on good authority to have most
plentiful supply of fresh meats and
unslaughtered animals, the public is
not taking kindly to the effort to sell
the canned goods at lower prices
This phase of the question, how
ever, is merely Incidental. The pub
| lie cannot be forced to eat canned
meats. Canned goods or not can
ned goods, it is not a comfortable
situation for the consumers of meats
to be at the absolute mercy of the
wholesale packers in the matter o.
prices which are to be paid for house
hold cessities.-Baltimore Herald

Paul Leicester Ford, Noted Novelist, is
Foully Slain by Malcolm Ford.
A QUARREL OF II YEARS. STANDING
The Author of Janice Meredith Quietly Sitting at Work
in His Study when, with Few Preliminaries,
the Fatal Shots Were Fired

distinguished the words if she had
been paying any attention to this
particular meeting of the brothers.
Suddenly there was a revolver shot
and Miss Hall, jumping up, darted
from the room. Then according to
the statement to the police, Miss
Hall said to herself she must act
more bravely and re-enter the library
Meanwhile Malcolm Ford had called
her. AS she turned toward him, he
placed the revolver to his heart, fired
and fell, dying instantly.
1t is said that there was enmity
between the brothers and consequent
bitterness and that it was of IL years
standing, that never since the death
of their father have they been on in
innate or brotherly terms.
This alleged enmity on the part of
Malcolm is said to have been brought
about by the fact that the father of
the boys disinherited Malcolm and
that this action on the fathers part
was because he did not wish Malcolm
to devote himself to an athletic ca
reer.
Paul Leicester Ford was 81 years
old, and a novelist of much note,
Janice Meredith" being, perhaps, his
most popular novel. He was married
about a year ago to Grace Kidder,
| daughter of Edward H. Kidder of
] Brooklyn.

The Town And Shipping in the Harbor
Wrapped In Flames.

St. Thomas, Danish West Indies,
May $3.50 a.. m.-The French
cruiser Suchet arrived at Point Pie
ire, island of Guadeloupe, French In
dies, from Fort De France this morn
ing. She confirmed the report that
the town of ST. Pierre, Martinique,
was entirely destroyed Thursday
morning by eruption of volcano. 1t
is believed that most of the inhabi-
tants were killed and many parishes
laid waste. The commander of the
Suchet reports that at l o'clock on
Thursday the entire town of st.
Pierre was wrapped in flames. He
endeavored to save about 80 persons,
more or less, burned from the vessels
in the harbor. His officers went
ashore in small boats, seeking for
survivors, but were unable to pene-
trate the town. They saw heaps of
bodies upon the wharves and it is be-
lieved that not single person resid-
ing in st. Pierre escaped. The gov
ernor of the colony and his staff and
wife were in ST. Pierre and propably
perished.
st. Thomas, May 9.-4 p. m.-The
British schooner Ocean Traveller, OF
st. John, N. B., arrived at the island
of Dominica, British West Indies, al
8 o'clock this afternoon. She was
obliged to flee from the island of st
Vincent, British West Indies, during
the afternoon of Wednesday, May 7
in consequence of heavy fall O.
sand from a volcano which was
erupting there. She tried to reach
the island of st. Lucia, but adverse
currents prevented her from doing so

morning, May s. While about mile
off the volcano of Mount Pelee ex-
ploded and fire from it swept the
whole town of st. Pierre, destroying
the town and the shipping there.
1t is now estimated that 10000 per-
sons perished as a result of the vol
cano eruption in the island of Mar
Unique.
Paris, May 9-The commander of
the French cruiser Suchet has tele-
graphed to the minister of marine,
De La Nessan, from Fort De France,
island of Martinique, under date of
Thursday, May 8, at 10 p. m, as fol-
lows: "Have just returned from st.
Piere, which has been completely de-
stroyed by an immense mass of fire
which fell on the town about s a. m.
The entire population, about $4,000
souls, is supposed to have perished.
l have brought back the few surviv-
ors, about 80. All the shipping in
the harbor had been destroyed by
fire. The eruption continues"
The commander of the Suchet has
been ordered to return to st. Pierre
with all possible speed, and forward
details of the disaster to the French
government.
The consul at Martinique is Thos
t. Prentiss. He was born in Michi
gan and appointed from Massachu
S it's. The vice consul at Martinique
is Ames Tenart, who was born in
Louisiana, from which state he was
appointed in 1898. The latest ovail
able figures show the total popu
lation of the island of Martinique tc
be $4,000, of whom $4,000 lived in
ST. Pierre, and, according to Ayme
nearly all perished.

The Chink Restaurant Keeper Had
Purchased Quantity of Stolen
Groceres-The Mystery Surround
ing Many Past Robberes Will Prob
ably Be Cleared Up.

Night Policeman Paul, aided by
Officer Shea, maze a clever catch of
wholesale thief Thursday night and
by their good work it is thought that
the mystery surrounding some of the
robberies in the past year in this city
will be cleared away.
1t had been reported to the police
of the city that the warehouse at
O'Brien's mill mad been broken into
several days ago and large quantity
of groceries taken, and they were
notified to be on the lookout for any
one attempting to sell the same to
restaurants and hotels. The officers
had been keeping sharp lookout
for any such attempt, but until
Thursday night their work was of no
avail.
About l o'clock that night it was
reported to Officer Shea that a buggy
had been seen back of Lee Lack S
restaurant, on Second street, and he
and officer Paul made a search of
the vehicle, but found nothing suspi
cious therein. Lee Lack, the pro.
prietor of the restaurant was sub.
jected to a close inquiry, but claimed
| trat he had purchased nothing from
anvone that had been stolen.
While talking WITH the "chlnk'
some one jumped into the buggy and
drove off at a rapid pace.
officer Paul started in search oi
the buggy and after short time he
telephoned to the different livery
Darns and asked if any one-horsf

New York, May S.-Paul Leicester
Ford, a novelist, was shot and killed
today by his brother, Malcolm Web
ster Ford, writer and athlete, who
Immediately sent a bullet into his
breast, dying instantly. The shoot
ing occurred at 1920 a. m, in the
handsome new mansion which Paul
Leicester Ford had built at 81 East
Seventy street and had oc-
cupied for about year,
At the time of the shooting there
were in the house besides the two
brothers, Mrs. Paul Leicester Ford,
Miss Elizabeth R. Hall, the novelist's S
secretary, and servants.
The novelist was sitting at his
desk in one corner of his large libra
ry, an attractively appointed room,
at the back of the house on the sec
ond floor. 1t is supposed that he was
bus1ly engaged at some literary task
Miss Hall was at her desk in another
corner of the room, about 80 feet
own room at the front of the house,
on the third floor.
Malcolm Ford called, as ne had
often done, and went to his brother
at his desk. Words were exchanged
in a tone so low that Miss Hall could
not hear what was said, though she
says that possibly she might have

bors, as packages of groceries were
found in all sorts of hiding places,
and when he saw the game was up,
Lee confessed to the officers that he
had purchased the following articles
from Smith, paying SIG for the same:
One sack of sugar, 80 pounds of tea,
100 pounds of oleomargerine, 20
pounds of coffee, pounds of baking
powder, box currants, and can of

numerous articles by hiding them
around the yard and under the 'ide-
walk.
