President of Swift Packing
Company and Originator of
Refrigerating Car
SOMETHING OF HIS GREAT WORK
He Was Pioneer in the Business of
Shipping Dressed Meats Instead of
Live Animals to Eastern Cities, and
| Many Large Fortunes Have Been
Made BY Adopting His Method.

Chicago, March 30.-GustavusF Frank
Tin Swift, president of the Swift Pack
Ing company, died at his home, 4s4s
Ellis avenue, early sunday OF internal
hemorrhages resulting from surgical
operation performed several days ago.
Mr.. Swift was SO years old.
The hemorrhage which caused Mr..
Ewift's death resulted from an oper-
alton for an affection of the gall blad-
der performed March 90. His death
was entirely unexpected both by ME-.
Swift's family and his physicians he
had given every indication of recovery
and all danger was considered passed
Mr., Swift had been suffering for some
time with bladder trouble and a week
ago an operation was determined upon
to give him relief. 1t was not expected
the operation would prove especially
dangerous and nothing happened to
cause a change in this hopefulness until
this morning. His immediate improve
ment was stopped suddenly by hem
orrhage which the doctors were unable
to check and which caused his death
in short time.
Gustavus Franklin Swift began his
business career as a butcher and died
leaving a fortune estimated at from
$7,000,000 to $10,000,000. He was born
at Sandwich, Mass, in June, 1889. He
opened small butcher shop in his ma
tive town He removed to Boston when
he was less than 80 years old. He re-
manned in Boston until 1875. when he
came to Chicago. In this city he en-
gagged in the same business which he
had left in Massachusetts and devel-
oped the department OF shipping live
cattle to eastern markets. In 1877 he
evolved plans for the first refrigerating
car, and dressed meats, instead of live
animals were shipped to eastern cities
He was the pioneer in this kind of bus
iness and it was not long before others
saw the advantages of this method and
they initiated him. Mr. Swift was not
only the oldest packer" at the time
of his death, but he was the originator
OF the method that has made many
large fortunes. From the small plant
started in 1877 has developed great
corporation with branches in st. Louis,
Kansas City, st. Joseph. Omaha, st.
distributing offices in every important
city and town in the United States.
and with representatives In the leading
cities of Europe, Asia and Africa. Its
employees number 22,607. Upon its cap
ital stock of s25,000,000 the sales OF
1902 exceeded S200,000,000.

NO HONOR TO THE DEAD.
Friends of Sir Hector Macdonald Out
RACED by Lady MacDonald's Action.

London, March 30.-The tragedy of
General MacDonald's death in Paris has
been deepened, If that is possible, by
the bringing home of his body. While
all Scotland and thousands in England
were eager to pay the fullest honors to
the distinguished soldier, his relatives
brought his coffin, Enclosed in rough
packing case, without ceremony to
London last night, where. equally I'M
it was placed IN one
horse parcels wagon on which was
a pictorial advertisement and driven
terminus for shipment to Scotland. The
relatives followed in hired cab.
The sentiment of the Generals adj
mirers was further outraged by the
infiexihle decision OF the widow to have
the body inferred in the Edinburgh
cemetery as soon as it arrives there at
6 o'clock this morning. Sir Charles
Allan, NJ. p: James Galloway Weir,
NJ. p; Lady Jeune, and representatives
OF Scottish societies in London vainly
tried to dissuade Lady Macdonald from
what they regarded as indecent haste,
but despite the pressure and General
MacDonald's wish that the remains be
Inferred at the family home in Rosshire.
the widow was immovable.
A number of prominent Scotsmen In
London met last evening, Mr.. Galloway
Weir presiding, and resolved to tele-
graph to the lord provost of Edinburgh
requesting him to use his influence up
on the arrival of the body to prevent
its hasty burial, to enable honors to be
paid. Hundreds OF London Scotsmen,
chiefly members of the Scottish associ-
alton, all fired with indignant SYM
pathy, assembled at Kings Cross sta
ton to watch the departure of the
train bearing the body. They filled the
freight car where the packing case lay
and threw flowers upon 1t, while a
piper played a mournful Highland
pibroch. Afterwards they attended the
meeting mentioned above.
The war Office explains its holding
aloof from the bringing home of the
body and the interment by saying that
the family insisted upon privacy; hence
it was impossible for it to interfere.
An influential committee is being
formed to investigate the charges that
Were made against General Macdonald,
and many persons are convinced that
his memory will be cleared.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Paris says that a wealthy American,
who was visiting at the Hotel Regina
at the time General Macdonald shot
himself there, sent a beautiful wreath
to the generals Rosshire home, bearing
the inscriptions:
'Laurels from strangers to the great
dead, which We're denied him where
he earned them
The Mail says it is informed that a
financier, who is we'll known in Paris,
London and New York, is so strongly
convinced of General MacDonald's in
nocence that he declares he will spend
$4,000, or more, if necessary, to prove
the accusations baseless. He is now in
telegraphic communication with Ceylon
on the subject

BLAST FROM BRYAN.
"ReaI Democracy and the Plutocraey Of
the Cleveland Brand VIII Not Mix"

Lincoln, Neb., March 2S.-The "har :
mony banquet" of the 1roquois Club IN
Chicago inspired the following criticism
by Editor w. j. Bryan in the Conn
moner:
THE harmony banquet given by the
Chicago Iroquois Club on the 10th inst
has come and gone, and It was, aus ex-
pected demonstration in honor OF
Grover Cleveland. There We're some
persons at the table Who are in the
habit of voting the democratic ticket,
but the general character of the crowd
was shown by the fact .,lat the guests
climbed on their chairs. waved their
napkins and cheered' when cleveland
name was mentioned.
This illustrates the kind OF mar
mony that is intended when those who
believe in democratic principles are m
vited to meet at the banquet board the
men who still boast of their contrlou-
ton to republican campaigns and stand
ready to repeat their offense unless they
are allowed to republican.ze the demo-
cratic party. Such harmony is farce
and a fraud and those who talk of it
are either grossly deceived themselves
or intend to decisive others.
"Real democracy and the plutocracy
of the Cleveland brand will no more
mix than oil and water, and the Cleve-
land element insists upon being the oil.
1t insists on being on top If 1T is in the
barrel at all. More water poured into
such a combination may help TO raise
the oil, but the oil never helps to raise
the water.
Now that the harmony dinner has
arranged for a compromise that puts
the. Cleveland forces in charge of the
party, why not have another harmony
dinner and arrange for such compro-
mise between the republican and Cleve.
land democrats as will ..eep the repub'
llicans in power and thus have all tn"
worry and expense of a campaign?

BOUGHT A REVOLVER.
A New clew in the Burdick Murder


Buffalo, March 30.-When the inquest
is re-opened by Judge Murphy it is
probable that other witnesses besides
the New York hotel employees who say
they heard Arthur r. Pencil threaten
to kill some one, will be called upon
to testify. The new evidence brought
to light today, like most of the testi
mony given during the inquest. has no
direct bearing on the Burdick murder.
Pencil is the central figure in the cpl
sode which has just been brought to the
attention of the authorities, and they
regard it as important as throwing light
upon the condition of Pencils mind
on the morning following the muir
der.
In the interval of time when Pennell
left the Iroquois hotel barber shop that
day and the time he took a trolley car
for Niagara Falls, the authorities
learned today, Pencil went to the
store of c. E. Walbridge on Main street
and purchased a cheap bulldog revolver.
Three men saw Pennell in the store
