HORSE MEAT IN CHICAGO.
Disclosures Made by an Illinois Stats
Food Commission.

EOOO COMMISSION.
! From the Chicago Record Herald
st first blush the disclosures made by As
sistant State Food Commissioner Patterson
with referef,ce to the sale Of horse and mule
meat in Chicago seem rather startling The
thought of horse M mburgers, donkey sau-
sage and mule outlets gives the fastidious
epicure that creepy feeling So intense
and irrational are our dietetic pfejudices, In
fact, that any revelations concerning the
consumption Of any flesh outside of what
we are accustomed to eat produce a general
shudder. The assistant food commissioner
declares that he has located four slaughter
houses in Chicago for horses. mules and
donkeys. He further AYERS that real beef
is never handled in these places, but their
delivery wagons run to markets. restaurants
and free-lunch saloons with great regu-
larity.'
To the man who stops to consider the
difference between the dietetic habits of q
young, healthy and weil-fed horse and the
habits and tastes of the common barnyard
hog this statement alone would not seem
startling enough to justify public alarm.
But the distressing feature of Mr. Pattef-
sons statements is the claim that hardly
horse, mule donkey is ever too aged
or diseased to be handled, and none other
such animals are slaughtered Healthy
young horses and mules in Chicago are too
valuable to be worked up into sausage,
corned-beef hash or canned beef. Ring
boned, spawned and sore-footed nags. and
even those that have glanders,'' are killed
missioner. 1t is further alleged that fish
that have died natural death and the
flesh of which is putrid are marketed in
large quantities in Chicago.

GREAT KENO IN ROME.
An Exciting Game for the Populace
Comes Off Every Sunday Afternoon.

Rome Correspondence of the Chicago Record Herald
Every Sunday afternoon big keno game
is played in the Piazza Cavour, near the
Vatican, for a prize of 5000 lire-$600. They
call it a Tombolla and you can see an
nouncements on big red posters pasted
upon the dead walls of Rome.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon people
gather by thousands in this open square,
where three rude stasings are placed for
the criers It costs a franc to enter the
game and any with that amount Of
money and the proper disposition may buy
at the agencies, which are scattered all
over the city, cards containing five rows of
numbers with five numbers on each row.
Everybody knows the game. Children play
it under the name of lotto. Gamblers call
it keno
When the bell In a church nearby strikes
3 a committee of citizens, attended by rep
resentatives of the municipal government
of Rome and inspectors Of police, mount
the scaffolding, where large glass affair,
shaped like watermelon, half filled with
marbles and arranged upon the axis be-
tween two wheels, has already been placed.
The manager bows to the people politely; a
soldier beside him blows bugle to secure
silence, and the immense audience stand
staring with their mouths open, while the
conditions of the game and the amounts OF
the prizes are proclaimed In stentorian
tones. The first prize of 1000 lire-S20O-
will be awarded, he says, to the person who
first fills line of numbers upon his card. If
more than one person fills line at the
same time the prize will be divided among
them The second and grand prize of 1000
lire will be paid to the person who first fills
the entire card and 1t will be divided In
case of a tie. This announcement is repeat
ed from the other two stands, and the
trumpet blows again a warning to make
ready.
A child six or seven years old, loaned by
a neighboring asylum, now appears upon
the platform dressed in white and blind
folded and turns crank which whirls the
glass watermelon around and mixes up the
marbles inside. Then, when they are thor
oughIy mixed, the top is unscrewed, the
child reaches in his hand and picks out a
marble, which Is passed along to the crier
He shouts the number at the top Of his
voice and repeats 1t three times. It is then
echoed from the other stands and every
body sticks pin through that number if
it appears on his card. Other numbers are
called in the same way, amid breathless ex-
citement, until somebody who has filled
line begins to yell and dance like lunatic
and breaks through the crowd toward the
stand. where the inspectors examine his
card and call OF the numbers to verify 1t.
If 1t is correct, his name and address are
taken and he ia told that he can call at
headauarters in the morning and get his
money, less 20 per cent tax. which he must

French and English Road Rules.

Paris Cor. the London Globe.
The question Of whether the English rule
of the road or the French one Is the better
has been revived by Comte Jean de Sabran-
Ponteves. who contributes rather inter-
esting article on the subject to the Soleil.
On the whole, he considers that the English
method Of regulating the traffic should be
employed all over Europe. Driving itself is
an art which the French learned from the
English, who selected the right side as a
seat for the coachman In order that he
could watch the wheels when he crossed
other vehicles to his left. In England the
mall coach was ever the favorite vehicle
for travelling, whereas in France the pos
tillion was master Of the road. and. as he
rode the left, or off-side, horse. he kept
to his right In order to keep his wheels
clear Of vehicles coming toward him. The
English rule of the road obtained on the
railways, as Englishmen had built The first
railways. in France, and in his opinion
they ought to exist on the road because
the art OF driving had come from England.
An excellent argument against this theory.
however. lies in the fact that 1t will soon
be a question: Of regulating not horse but
automobile tIafic, and that the French
have been the pioneers 0f automobilism.

Boyd and Croak "Floated" On Pleas
of Guilty Of Being
Migrants.

While satisfied hat they had the
right men. the police were compelled
to drop the charge of robbery on
which they arrested William Boyd,
alias the "Crimpy Kid" and Eddie"
Croak, the prizefighter. The city, how
ever, has been rid Of the presence of
both the distinguished gentlemen,
while Woodmany, the witness who re-

After keeping the precious trio in
Jail all of the day before and We'd

yesterday morning to induce Wood
many to testify, but he refused and
the police realized that without his
testimony it would be useless to pro-
coed against the two principals.
Sentenced for Vagrancy.
Accordingly they decided upon an
other course. County Attorney Hath
horn was appealed to and he filed in
formation against Croak and Boyd
charging them with vagrancy. They
were arraigned on this charge yester-
day afternoon and both entered pleas
CT guilty. Each was sentenced to 80

Still Fighting Charge Of Conducting
Opium "Joint." :

OPlum "Joint.' .
All 10y may be the managing editor
of a hop joint" but he does not pro-
pose to pay the penalty imposed for
conducting such places of entertain
ment. Notwithstanding that he has
been twice convicted of the offense
the lower courts, once before Judge
Mann and once before Judge Fraser.
On the occasion of his first convic-
ton he appealed to the district court
and his appeal was sustained on the
ground that the ordinance under
which he was convicted was not drawn
in conformity with the statutes. He
then again arrested, this time
on a state warrant, and taken into
Judge Fraser's court. A demurrer
was filed to the complaint, but it was
overruled and at the end of the pro,
ceedings 10y found himself fined 500
and costs.
His defense was that he had been
forced into selling the opium by a
white man and that consequently he
was not guilty Of any moral or techni'
cal wrongdoing, as he had 10 choice
but obey the compulsive arguments
used by the wicked pale face. The
court considered his story as decidedly
diaphanous and ruled accordingly.
Notice of appeal was given and yes.
terady the notice was carried into
effect by the filing with the clerk OF
the district court of the necessary pa.
pers by Judge Goss, defendants at
