The American leads the world as a
meat eater, with three pounds a weeN:
the Briton follows a close second, with
a little more than two pounds and 4
half; the German consumes little less
than the Briton, and the Russian con
sumes one pound. while the Italian must
perforce exc out his scant half-pound
with large supplies of macaroni and
black bread and garlic. The argument
has plausible look. but let us not
forget that the finest specimens OF ply
steal strength in the whole world. with
the exception of one hardy savage tribe
few in numbers, come from spot IN
the Emerald Isle. where the diet is po
tatoes and milk. chiefly SKINNED. and
black bread. and very little OF any Of
them And there is the sturdy Scot,
who scarcely knows the taste OF meat.
but makes his way In all climes and
under all conditions, though he springs
from an ancestry that subsisted on oat-
meal.

MoRaAN's VIEWS ON LABOR.
Financier Said to Oppose Discrimina
ton by Union.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun from New York yesterday says: J.
Pierpont Morgan in an interview today
with Frank Buchanan, president Of the In
formation Association of Bridge and Struc-
.tural Iron and Steel Workers OF America,
took occasion to state his position on the
labor question.
President Buchanan called to seek some
way of settling the ironworkers' strike. The
interview Is said to have been disappointing
to the labor chief. He Is sad to have told
Mr.. Morgan that the American Bridge
Company. in which Mr.. Morgan Is said to
be heavily Interested was unfair. Mr..
Morgan replied that, although he was not
officially concerned In the question in dis
pute, he was certain that Mr.. Buchanan
and the men he represents would receive
only fair treatment from the bridge COM
pany.
President Buchanan then told Mr.. Nor
gan that his association had an agreement
with the bridge company to employ union
in preference to non-un4on men and that It
had broken that agreement Mr.. Morgan
retorted. SO 1t Is stated that II any such
agreement had been entered into. and he
had any authority to cause that agreement
to be broken, 1t would be broken. He said
that he did not favor any agreement that
Disseminated between men who We're seek
ing employment.
It was learned that the proffered inter-
cessfon Of the National Civic Federation
has been promptly declined both by the
ironworkers and the bridge company.

COOKS ON STRIKE.
Frequenters Of Restaurants in Denver
Face a Famine.


A dispatch from Denver, Colo, yesterday
says: The strike Of the union cooks was
complicated today by the determination of
the Bartenders Union to walk out. per-
haps tomorrow. Many people who rely on
restaurants for their meals patronized the
saloon free lunch counters and now the
supply may be cut off. A condition border
ing on famine faces the downtown district,
where sixty restaurants have been closed.
The overworked bartender began to rebel
this morning, and at many free lunch
counters, all Of which are crowded continu-
ously. signs were displayed, "Only one
sandwich with a glass OF beer" To a
famished man this. Of course. meant that
before he could get enough to eat he would
drink too much. This, the police declare.
has greatly increased the number Of cases
Of intoxicatton-
If the bartenders strike 1t will be to en-
force the unionizing Of the so-called scab
saloons by agreement with the Saloon
keepers Union.
People who never cooked a meal in their
lives are buying oil stoves and chatting
dishes in an attempt to get enough to eat,
and the rooming houses have taken on an
odor of onions and beefsteak, Goldfish and
cabbage.
The Restaurant Keepers Association
issued an ultimatum today that If the union
walters do not return by noon tomorrow
non-uniOn help will be hired. This, Of
course, WILL lead to the picketing Of res
taurants and a probability Of serious

PRODUCTION OF CHEESE
Over $4,000 Farms on Which It II
Made,

Mr. Henry E. Alvord. chief Of the dairy
division OF the bureau Of animal ind,,,t ~,
OF the Department of Agriculture. has pub
ilshed a monograph on cheesemaking on
the farm. which has been printed as farm
ers' bulletin No. 168 Of the Department.
Of Agriculture.
Mr. Aivord states that there Il a popular
impression that the manufacture OF cheese
In this country has been SO completely
transferred to the factory system during
the last half century as practically to abol-
ish cheesemaking on dairy farms. But
the agricultural returns Of the twelfth
United States census show that In the wear
1879 there were still 1850 farms upon
which dairy cheese was made. The ouan-
tfty produced on these farms during that
year was 18.S72,330 pounds. an average of
LOIS pounds per farm. This product con-
stftuted almost 81 per cent Of all the cheese
made in the United States
1t Is the purpose Of this bulletin to fur
nish for the farm and the farm household
brief description Of the most approved
methods employed In the manufacture OF
several varieties of cheese, producers Of
wide experience having been consulta ed IN
compiling the information.

Sunday News Necessary.

"I am quite sure, from the conflicting
opinions OF the Judges OF the superior court,
and the absolute impossibility to fix a
classification or fixed rule as to what con-
stitutes a worldly employment or 'neces-
sary work on Sunday. that 1t would be an
assumption of power and authority for me
to impose my individual construction upon
the act Of any one brought before me by de-
termining. according to my opinion. whether
such act was or was not a necessity to him
or the community. and. therefore. a crime,
and especially in this case am quite I'M
willing to say that my opinion Of whether
the publication OF the newspapers on Sun
day by defendants was work Of necessity
is better than the 100000 people who pur-
chased them.
II am asked to find that the publication
on Sunday Of the newspapers OF defendants
Is necessity and. therefore, within the
exception Of the act and. furthermore that
the information must aver that the act
charged against the defendants as a crime
was not one OF the excepted works of the
statute. and this being material ayerment
1t must be established by evidence. have
no hesitation in finding the latter contention
OF defendants to be sound"

 OUTLINED THEIR FRIENDS.-Dr. H. A. Hughes, the county health officer, visited the poor farm yesterday and no ticing the number of the inmates of ad- i vanced age he selected twelve of the oldest and found that their average age was seventy eight years. The oldest | vas ninety. Two or three were eighty eight. They had come from all parts ! of the world. They had lived so long ! that all their friends upon whom they ' had any claim were dead. Thus it was l shown that there is at least one Cir | constance in which the span of human | life is entirely too long. There are more | than fifty inmates of the poorhouse More than half of that number are non- residents of the county or of the terri tory and have no claim on the county beyond the fact that they are here and have to be taken care of.

 offices. and fixes the salaries and bonds
 It was decided to pay the president
 $2.00G per year. the secretary $1,Ct0 per
 year and the treas urer $5G Ter year.
 The treasurer will be required to give
 a bond oi $10.090 per year. the expense
 of it being borne by the association, of course, for the salary is not large enough to pay for the bond with rep
 utable surety company. The secretary will be required to give bond of 5000. It is also provided that each mem- Der of the board of governors shall re- ceive & per day while attending the meetings of the board and i've cents per mile one way, from his home to the place of meeting. Provision is also made for some special compensation for the governors, to be specifically appro- priated for the expenses of any trips it may be necessary for them to make in the performance of their work of inspection of the progress of the dam building or other contingency that may arise, such compensation however not to exceed 8 per day for each member. There can surely be no suggestion by any citizen that money is being frit- tered away in salaries for one with even the slightest knowledge Of office
 work can appreciate in a moment that ! if the officials do their work properly they will be the poorest paid men in
 this valley for the kind and quacity 1 Of work required.

 tion Jill be made then.
