BULLDOG FARM RUN BY WOMAN. Profits of a Kennel Near New York
 Average Over $500 Month.

From the New York Times.
 Out on Hudson heights a suburb Of Jersey City. Mrs. Charles 'Betz conducts the most successful and largest English bulldog farm In the vicinity of New York. There are on this farm tifty-nne bulldogs and a few Boston terrlers, but Mrs. Betz counts the latter simply as dogs" and though she gives them good care she is not as watchful of them as she is of the English bulls"
 The farm itself Is not very impress sive. Merely large house, standing on a hill overlooking the Hudson race track About the back are several kennels used for the dogs in summer In winter the animals are kept in the house, and to accommodate them as well as to keep the house in as sanitary a condition as possible. all the carpets have been taken from the floors, and the dogs make their home with the family in the best rooms. Everything must bend to them, for they are the breadearners and must be first considered.
 Mrs. Betz is just beginning to "show" her dogs and from this kennel, two years old, she has raised one first, two second and one third prize dog. all from the pup pies that have been born on the farm. The proprietor has several private clients whom she supplies with dogs, and there is more demand for English bulls of good breed than one would imagine. Often she sells two and three dogs to one family and supplies several excellent kennels about New York with English stock. Bull dogs are frequently imported from Eng land for these kennels. Two were re- ceived last week, and on the same vessel came a fine French "bull.'
 Big profits reward successful bulldog raising but one must. understand the dog question thoroughly to raise two puppies out of a litter of six or eight and a knowledge of dog doctoring is essential if the veterinary Is not to be allowed to secure too much of the surplus Mrs. Betz, with the fruits of two years ex- perience, sells the pups for from $50 up and the full-grown dogs for from $200 to $600 One prize-winner now on the farm is valued at $500.
 raised on the farm each month, and from these not less than $500 Is the amount of clear profit. Mrs. Betz is always a little wary about selling a dog when it is a pup, for talking in a business-like man. ner about 'short faces" wide muzzles'' and being well undershot," she says you can never tell until dog has its growth whether you have prize winner or just a dog of good breed. Many a dog she has kept as a prospective prize winner has turned out to be a good ordinary "bull," and some she has sold as ordinary dogs have won prizes.

INDEP{NNGG[E%%CC[[ 0F
 LABOR AT STAKE League Being Organized tor Benefit of Workmen. ORGANIZER TO 60 IN FIELD Will Be Strictly a Laboring Mans Affair, But It Will Be incorporated
 So as to Command confi-
 dence of Employers.

Albany, N. T., January 1.-The Rev. D. M. Fairchild of Albany, who has been called into consultation by the worlinen interested in the formation of the Ma tional League of Independent Workmen of America, said today:
 .The league will be organized in the near future. It is proposed to put na- tional organizer in the field and to organ ize local branches all over the. country and demand that employers run their shops as open shops,' in which union and league men can have an equal and fair chance for employment.
 "The league will be strictly laboring mans affair, but it will be incorporated so as to command the confidence of em- ployers and the general public and be in a position to defend the rights of its members through the courts. Only Ameri- can citizens will be eligible to member ship.
 'tThe specific objects for which the in- dependent workmen propose to organize are as follows:
 T. To protect independent workmen in their independence.
 ''2. To sustain high wages by skullful. energetic cooperation with our employers.
 B. To establish reasonable hours ok labor according to the exigencies of the trades.
 A. To promote intelligent understand ing of our work.
 "5 To furnish favorable conditions for training apprentices in order that our boys may become skilled workmen.
 ''6 To maintain sanitary conditions of employment by means of state laws and inspectors
 1T. To compel officers of the government to enforce the laws.
 '8, To compel labor unions to observe the laws.
 "9. To protect members against unjust treatment from employers by due pro- cess of law.
 '1o. To provide labor bureau for its members.

GENUINE ASIATIc PLAGUE.
No Longer Any Doubt About the Dis
 ease at MazatIan.

Mazatlan, Mex, January 1.-There is no longer the slightest doubt that the dis ease now afficting this city is genuine Asiatic plague, for microscopic investiga- tion proves that bubonic pest baccilli are in the blood of those afflicted with the disease. The plague has grown virulent within the last forty-eight hours and the alarm which had begun in some measure to abate has returned with increased strength. The people are fleeing from the city at the rate of 300 per day. and Some 5000 have already gone.
 It is a remarkable fact that more than 50 per cent of the persons attacked are women.
 The news of the recrudescence of the plauge at tins port has reached the in- terior towns of the state and is causing a panic. Sanitary cordons of armed men have been placed around the towns to prevent the entrance of any one from this place.

QUEER PEOPLE.
Lolos Have Customs Entirely Differ
 ent From Chinese.

From the Boston Globe.
 Writing of the Lolos of Chinese Turkes- tan Rev. w. M. Upcraft says: 'The men wear a loose blouse and wide, short trousers, made of blue cotton cloth, over which stout plaited felt cloak is thrown, which reaches from the neck to the knees, and Is useful by day in cold or wet weather, and at night Sorms an Der they wear long trousers, too. To quote again from the same writer "One peculiar feature is the manner of dressing the hair. Instead of wearing a queue in thefway adopted by the Chin csc, the Lolos allow the hair to grow long to the front, then braid 1t into a kind of horn above the forehead. so that it becomes the most conspicuous object about them. The women folk wear a short jacket. often finely embroidered, over a plaited skirt not unlike a Scotch kilt. Their feet and ankles are bare--a fine contrast to the cramped, deformed feet of the Chinese women." They have well-formed figures and even features. The ease with which they go about their work attracts the attention and wins the admiration of the traveller.
 On this special occasion I found the whole family sitting around a big log lire, watching the cooking of COW, which had died from a cold. in an enor- nous iron pot. When they considered the carcass cooked the housewife took a big wooden spoon, several feet long, and shoveled the contents of the pot into small tubs, which were placed before each man, likewise good supply of rice. rice.
 Wood spoons were used In eating; chop sticks I did not see. The tubs were care fully watched and replenished as soon as the diminution became noticeable When the principal performers could no longer indulge the tubs were passed to the yonnger and inferior members of the household, and between them all they managed to put out of sight both COW and rice. Beds were not In use, so was offered the ,xe of a grain chest--ouite a dignified place compared with the rest.

From the Times-Democrat.

From the Times-Democrat.
 New York, December A-The fact that Cornelius Vanderbilt and other men of social and business prominence have been ill with typhoid fever has revived the re- port that the Croton and Brooklyn water supplies are contaminated. Officials Of the board of health say there is nothing the matter with the city's water supply and that there is no more typhoid at present than is usually the case at this season of the year, but they add that the fact remains that typhoid and other germs are taken into the human system by those who drink the city's water
 Recent experiments by bacteriologists made with view of determining how ty- rhoid germs can be destroyed, have re {. vealed a number of curious facts. These experiments have demonstrated that vari- ous acids will destroy the germs, but as the acids will destroy human beings as well, no good result Is practicable from their use.
 One experimenter dropped little lemon juice in a culture tube containing typhoid germs. To his amazement he found that the acid in lemon juice shriveled up and killed the germs. Commenting upon this discovery, a local physician today said:
 Typhoid germs must be taken into the stomach in order to cause typhoid fever If. therefore people will put drop or two of lemon juice in the water they drink they will be safe. All uncooked foods, such as salads, fairly teem with typhoid and other germs. The mere washing of lettuce, celery, chicory, cab bage and other vegetables used as salads will not destroy the germs, but if people, after their salads have been washed, will sprinkle lemon juice upon them, the sal ads can be eaten without fear of conta- zion.
 Officials of the local board If health and the experinenters fin the bacteriolo- gical bureau have tried lemon juice with just as much success as was obtained abroad. The advice Is therefore given to those who wish to avoid typhoid fever to make liberal use of lemon juice in their drinking water and in the prepara- ton of uncooked food.

REFUSE TO SETTLE.
Tax Payers In New Mexico Decline to
 Pay Levies of Interest.

Santa Fe, N. M, January 1.-The creditors of Santa Fe county have re- fused to compromise the s1, ,0o0, 600 debt of the county. For years taxpayers have refused to pay levies to pay the interest of this debt and the creditors were of- fered a compromise of 50 per cent of the indebtedness, to be paid in per cent long term bonds.
 This offer was made today, one of the principal bondholders declining to enter into the compromise at all, although the others had been willing As the county's taxable assessed valuation is only $25, ,0OO.- GOO, debt is practically uncollectable aside from the question of its legality.
